An Editor Diniu. Out.

Quite distinguished citizen of our CT
w, and one of the members of the corps
editorial, made short excursion into the
country last Sunday. where they revelled
some hours among the bIeezes and the
lreeses, and finally returned at three or
four o'clock, with appelites, it may east
ly be imagined, richly sharpened for the
enjoyment Of good dinner. After i'm
bibing glass OF bit,ers at the st. Charles,
our friend of the scissors and quill was
invited by his companion to join in a
quiet dinner at his own domicil.
Il have nothing NICE said he, 'for
did not think we should reach home in
time to dine, but reckon l can make
up something that will answer the de,
mands of hunger for the once.'
oh, Pm not particular, replied the
editor, amy thing will answer my pur-
pose; I'm one of those, you know, whose
wants are very easily supplied
Shortening the way, by easy and "a

he did not wish to listen TO what he be

well as | could Judge, contained from
eight TO ten acres, and was cultivated:
bu, around the grave the plough had not
approached nearer than three or four
yards. that space being covered with loose
stones thrown upon and around the grave,
which was only indicated by two cedar
trees about ten feet high. A small peach
tree had also been planted a. the head Of
the grave, by the kindly feeling OF lady
in the neighborhood.
With great care the broken lid was re.
moved, and there to our view lay the
bones OF the brave Andre, in perfect or

which was confirmed by some present.
The roots of the small peach tree had
completely surrounded the skull like
net.
AT this scene a new and painful ques.
ton arose. The order that Andres exc.
cution was that he should be buried in
his regimentals; but rumors were not
wanting tina. he had been stripped before
he was consigned TO his wild grave. Az
ter minute examination of the dust of the
coffin, there was no metal 10 be found,
although the string Of leather that had tied
the unfortunate soldiers hair was perfect.
How far these facts accord with the ru-
mors adverted TO, others may Judge, but
it is useful tina! all these facts should be
brought to light, as it may reasonably be
inferred that if stripped, those who per-
milted this outrage, or knew Of it. had no
idea that the unfee'lug &C. they then per-
formed. would be blazoned to the world
near half century after the event.
Having placed the remains in sar-
cophagus, it was borne amidst the silent

pastors charge, with the intention OF re-
moving it TO his Majes,y's packet ON

ELIMINATION Of Andre.

The remains Of the hapless Andre were
taken up in 1893, under the auspices of
the late Duke of York, with view to
their repose in Westminster Abby. We
proceeded, says Mr.. Buchanan, up a
narrow lane or broken road, with trees
a, each side, which obscured the place
where he suffered, until we came to the
opening in the field, which at once led
TO an elevated spot on the hill. On reach

oppressive abundance, and The ground is
also covered with the over-ripe, the own
er of coffee estate might safely chal-
lenge the world for y fairer garden. Nor
mus, this be the appearance it presents
for only short period. The. coffee has
successive crops of blossoms five or six
times in the winter and spring, and on
the orange, the ripe fruit aud blossoms,
and the young green fruit, are often seen
at the same time, while several Of the
shrubs and plants bloom nearly all the
year.
In the centre of an open spot generally
bare of high tees, a small hut may be
seen. often formed entirely of the palm.
Its trunk split into poles, and tied firmly
together by strips of bark from mqjaguay,
than which no rope could be stronger,
forms the frame and raftcrs. The foot
stalk, or part Of the leaf tina, encirclcs the
trunk, is spread out and sewed TO the
sides of the hut, and being about five feet
long and three wide, and as impervious
to rain as hide, forms an excellent pro-
lection to the weather. The roof is next
matched with the long stems TO which
the leaflets are attached, cut into pieces
three feet long, and tied TO the rafters,
forming covering about foot thick,
through which neither heat nor wet can
penetrate. The door and window shut
ter alone are of plank, the floor being OF
clay or mud, according to the soil on
which it is built. The furniture within
accords well with the simple structure.
A cot, bench, table, and shelf, with
perhaps a chest, comprise the whole

a Coffee Plantation.

A coffee estate is indeed a perfect gar.
den, surprising in beauty aught that the
bleak climate of England can produce.
Imagine more than three hundred acres
of land planted in regular squares with
evenly-pruned shrubs, each containing
about eight acres, intersecled by broad
alleys of palms, oranges, mangoes, and
other beautiful trees, the intersices be-
tween which, are planted lemons, pome-
granates, cape jessamines, tube roses,
lilies, and various other gaudy and fra
grant flowers while a double strip of
guinea grass, or of luscious pines, skirt
the sides, presenting pretty contrast to
the smooth red soil in the centre, scrupu-

Uinter in Europe.-The last English
papers represent the winter as very Sc.
we're in Great Britain, France, and other
parts of Europe. The cold was so in
tense in France, that train of cars on
the Rouen Railroad, which had stopped
at Meulen to discharge freight, was obi
ged to remain there all night, the oil in
the boxes of the wheels having frozen,
together with the water in the pipe which
communicates from the tender to the To-
connective. At Piedmont, the snow was
four feet deep. A number of persons are
said 10 have persisted in various parts of
France; and some idea may be formed
OF the distinctions offered by the snow,
when we state that the mail from AK TO
Draguignan, which generally is taken in
10 hours by three horses, was 20 hours
in passing over the same distance with
eight horses.

Burning Smoke.-At the last session
Of the British Parliament i. was enacted
that from and after the first of January
instant, the furnaces of Manchester and
Stafford shall consume their o,cn smoke,
or pay penalty OF forty shillings per
week for not doing so. As matter Of
economy. therefore, the factory people
have found it necessary 10 comply With
the law. The smoke is efreciually pre-.
vented by an extremely simple contri.
vance, and unattended with any trouble
or difficulty TO the engineers-the plan
consisting merely of the introduction into
the furnace of a due proportion of atmos.
pheric air, whereby perfect combustion
and considerable saving of fuel are effec-
ted.

after running at the top of his speed Tor
two or three miles, and will then run at
slow gallop. The buffalo is most
noble animal--very formidable IN has ap-
pearance--and, in the summer, has very
short, soft coat of fine wool over his body,
from behind his shoulders TO his tail. His
neck and head are covered with thick
mass of long black wool, almost conceal
ing his shor. thick horns, (the points OF
which just stick out. and his small eye.
This animal has great deal of bold da-
ring, and it is difficult to turn him from
his course.
On the 9th of June we had stopped
our wagons, about half mile from the
river, TO spend Our noon and rest our
teams. While there, we discovered seven
large buffalo bulls, slowly moving up the
river on the opposite side and when they
were about opposite to us, they plunged
into the river and swan across towards
us, in the face of men, wagons, teams,
cattle horses and all. Every man shout
dered his gun, and some went up aud
some down the river, so as TO form COM
ple,e semi-circle. We were all certain
that the buffalo would turn back and re-
cross the river; but widely different from
our xpectations-on they came, merely
turning their course little around the
wagons. You never heard of such bonn
bardment in all your life. No, buffalo
escaped unhurt. and three were killed
within very short distance. The buffalo
being very large object, can be seen at
great distance. Perhaps the flesh of no
animal is more delicious than that of a
young buffalo COW, in good order. You
may eat as much as you wish, and It will
not Cypress you. The flesh Of the ante
lope is fine eating, equal 10 venison, but
more juicy. l remember while we were
on Sweetwater, that we remained at one
place day or two, and that one evening
| came in from hunting very hungry.
Captain Cant had killed very fat buffalo
COW, and had made me present of some
choice pieces. 1t was after dinner, and
Mrs. b. had six large slices of it cooked
for me. supposed could eat three OF

hours afterwards supper came on. and we
had more of this fine meat. DR.. Long
took supper with me, and something was
said about Oregon. The DR.. remarked
that he feared Oregon was like the buffalo
meat, overrated. Said |, doctor, | have
always thought as you do in regard to

OLD BROWN DOG.

There is an old brown dog,
That roams about our streets,
But no one knows from whence he came,
Or where he eats or sleeps.
His namc-his race--his business here,
Are hidden in fog,
There seems to be mystery
About that old brown dog.
He often haunts the pos. office,
His letter never comes
Ho often visits l.ouderback's,
But buys no sugar plumbs:
He curls himself beside the door
Which leads to the Gazette.
But never asks the latest news,
Nor seems disposed to bet.
lie dogs no master round,
Like most Of his degree,
But through the longest winter day
In one lone spot he'll be.
And there with head between his paws
He lies mid snow and rain,
As if some dogma wild and vague
Perplex'd his troubled brain.
And often,imcs | stop
Ana gaze, anu Try 10 trace
The mournful thoughts that seem to fit
Across his wrinkled face.
Perhaps he dreams Of days
When filled was pleasures cup
OF days Of sunshine, mirth, and joy,
When he was but a pup.
The voice he once obeycd
May long have died away,
But still he waits to hear its call
From weary day to day.
He dreams Of ancient times,
Nor can he quite suppress
A sigh-when visions real arise
OF bones now marrowcss.
Enough-I do not wish
To pry in his affairs,
But on his breast he seems to bear
A weight Of heavy cares.
His name-his race and business here
Arc hidden in fog,
There seems to be mystery
About that old brown dog.
