"Mr, Saunders never for amoment accused
the Wings of the Central Meeting Address Of
bad faith, whatever may have been the force
of his ~allusion to Wings elsewhere. His
course was frank, open and respectful. If he
believed the Wings Of the Central Meeting
unworthy Of confidence, he never would have
signed the committees report, but we are sat-
isied that this charge is not entertdined"-
MSsissiPpian.
This is the only point worthy %ofnotice in an
article accusing US of doing "iniast'ee" to a del
eoate 10 the late Democratic Convention, and
through him to the Convention ITSELF We
deny the charge of injustice in the sense in-
tended by the MississiPpian; but # any one
were to accuse as Of injustice in not stating
strongly enough the false and gratuitOus posi-
tons taken by Mr.. Saunders in reference to
Wing patriotism on the Southern question:
we should willingly and cOnscienciously plead
guilty to the charge, as we should also to a
charge of not denouncing with sufficient
warmth the complacency with which the Con-
%vsntion heard the delegate from Natchez de-
clare Southern wings generally to be traitors
to the South on the subject Of slavery We
heard the whole Of his speech-wo remember
distinctly that it was thickly interlarded with
sueb accusations as the above and we have
notes Of that portion Of the harangue in
which the speaker declared that the Wings
might hold their Central Meetings'' in order
10 produce a show Of patriotism, but that at
heart they were treacherous to the professions
Of their lips, and were only seeking an oppor-
tunity to bstray the South, into the power OF
tho abolitionists. All this we heard, and much
more Of even a worse character and all Of this
the Convention heard with general ealmness
although Col. Davis and a few other delegates
manifested signsof uneasiness a. the, utterance
Of such foulIcalumnies in the glazing light o.

We therefore r%eiterate that Mr.. Sanders did

ANOTHER GRKAT DIscovERY,-SensilU Glass,
had occasion some time since to say
something about the Druids and their worship.
The gentlemen who is getting up and arrang-
ing the mysteries and ceremonies for the Druid
zeal exhibition, is well known to us as a prao-
teal chemist, but as he does not wish to appear
before thu public, until the proper time, we
withheld his name, but take the liberty of
speaking OF the wonderful process of science.
Tho person alluded to spent some weeks in
Pittsburg in endeaeoring to produce the mag
ical glass of the Druids, but did not succeed
The experiments have been continued here,
and TIE Druidish musical tones, from tubes Of
glass, are perfect, and make sweet harmony.
But the sensitive glass goblets are the most
wonderful. 1t was a secret Of the Arch.Drnid
to make his glass sensitive TO poison, and ira
dition says that his food and beverages were
submitted to test in those gobleLs, and il
they contained poison the glass would break.
One of these glasses was. shown US yesterday
in which water was forced, and, it remain
ed as sound as any other tumbler, but on add
ing a little poison, the glass flew at once into
several thousand pieces, This 10 something
more mysterious than has been exhibited yet
and We can say, in all confidence, that the OK
hibition will be one Of remarkable scientific
wonder.-Cncianat Commsretc@

JAVA-GROWTH OF COFFEE AND PEI
PEP

In extrnt, Java is about 700 miles in length
and it varies from 80 to lao miles in width
Its area is less than 10000 square miles. The
face Of the country is more or less broken
by mountains, but the soil generally is rich and
productive.
The products rice, sugar, coffee, pepper.
spices. and a profusion Of the finest tropical
fruits. We were much interested in seeing
some Of these tropical productions growing
Coffee is cultivated here to great perfection
as in almost any other part Of the world -
1t grows upon large bushes very much rssem-
bling our large chinquepin bushes, and the grains
OF coffee are formed two in a berry, about
the size and shape of our common plum. The
skin of the berry is about as thick as that o.
the plum, and the color when ripe that, Of q
pale scarlet. The bush is very productive
Every branch is loaded with the berries which
grow two in a place, on opposite sides OF each
other, and aboutoneinch and halfapart. When
ripe, the skin bursts open, and the grains Of
coffee fallout on the ground. But a more gen,
.eraI way is to spread something under the
bush, and shake tho coffee down. After the
outer skin is taken off, there remains a kind Of
husk over each kernel, which is broken Of
after being well dried in the sun, by heavy
rollers. The coffee, after this, needs winnow.

some writers that one bush will not, with al
other, average more than a pound o%fcoffee; bu
it scemedto me, though Icould only Judge fiom
appearances, that this was too small an allow.
anco for each bush.
Black pepper is also raised to some extent
ON the island of Java; but Sumatra which
lies just across the Straits, is by far the
most celebrated for this commodity, Her pep.
per is perhaps, the finest and most abundant
of any one country in the world.
Black pepper grows on a vine, very much
like our grape vine, and the pepper vineyard:
remind me very much Of our American vine
yards OF grapes. The pepper grape grows anc
LOOKS, when green, a good deal like our cur
rants. There is this difference, however: the
cnrrant has each its own distinct stem, blu
the pepper has not, Each grain grows hard OF
to one common stem just as each grain of in
dian corn does on the cob, or husk, DIS Virgin
ians incorrectly would say. The color of pep
per, when first ripe, is almost a bright red, ant
changes to the black, common to US, by being
exposed to the heat Of the sun.
The famous white pepper is nothing NOR,
than the common black with the outer ski
taken off. It is first soaked until this ski
bursts open, which is is then rubbed off an,
the grain dried. The white, therefore, is no
considered SO pungent as the black, though i
is nicer and moro expensive as more labor i
necessary in order to prepare it.

THE STRAIGHT WAY TO HEAVEN

An i~tinerant preacher, Of more zeal than
discretion, was in habit of accosting those he

through a small settlement, he met a simple
country fellow driving a cart loaded with
corn.
