CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN MICHIGAN.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN MICHIGAN.
Notwithstanding all the stories told of the aw-
full prevalence of murder in Michigan since hanging
was abolished, they don't seem to make much
headway in getting it restored 1t sOas to have
been done in hurry this winter, but the docu-
mcnts do not confirm the sanguine anticipations.
The Lansing Free Press of the goth inst says:
CAPITAL PUN1sHMENT-In the House of Rep
resentatives, on the l3th Mr.. Ferguson, from the
Committee on the Judiciary, reported that Gin the
opinion of the Committee, it is not advisable to
change the existing laws requiring the caime of
murder to be punished by imprisonment for life, in
the State prison." The report was accepted, and
the Committee discharged from the farther consid-
Grafton of the subject.

JAVA-GROWTH OF COFFEE AND
Z Z z p f R.

In extent. Java is about seven hundred
miles 10 length, and it varies from eighty to
one hundred and forty miles in width. It's
area Is less than twenty thousand square
miles The face of the country is more or
less broken by mountains, but the soil gener-
ally Is rich and productive. The products
are rice, sugar, coffee, pepper, spices, and a
profuslon OF the finest tropical fruit. We
were much interested IN seeing some of these
tropical productions growing Coffee is cul-
uvated here ia as great perfection as in al
most any other part Of the world. It grows
upon large bushes that very much resemble
our large chlnkapIn bushes, and the grains Of
coffee are formed two in berry about tue
size and shape of orr common plum. The
skin OF the berry is about as thick as that of
the plum. and the color. when ripe, that of a
pale scarlet. The bush is very productive
Every branch is loaded with the berries,
which grow two in place on opposite sides
of each other, and about an inch and half
apart. When ripe. the skin bursts open, and
the grains of coffee fall out on the grouDd :;
but a more general way is 10 spread some
thing under the bush, and shake the coffee
down. After the outer skin is taken off,
there remains a kind OF husk overeach kerr
mel, which is broken off, after being well dried
IN the sun, by heavy rollers. The coffee, Of
ter this, needs winnowinc, in order to be
freed from the broken PARTICLES of the husk.
1t has been said by some writer's that one
bush will not, with another, average more
than pound of coffee; though it seemed TO
me, though | could oiy judge from appear
ance, TINT this was too small an allowance
for each bush
Black pepper is also raised to some extent
on the island of lava but Sumatra, which
lies just across tie straits. is by far the most
celebrated for this commodity. Her pepper
is, perhaps, the finest and most abundant of
any one country III the world. Black pepper
grows on a vine, very much like our grape
vine, and the pepper vineyards remind me
very much of our American vineyards of
grapes. The pepper grows and looks, when
green, good deal like our currants. There
Is this difference, however: the Currant has
each its own distinct stem. but the pepper
has not Every GRIM grows hard on to one
common stem. Just as each grain Of Indian
corn does on the cob, or husk. as Firgiuians
incorrectly would say. The color OF thepep-
per, when first ripe. IS almost a bright red,
and changes 10 the dead black. common 10 US
by being exposed to the heat of the sun.
The famous white pepper Is nothing more
than the common black, with the outer skin
taken off. II is first soaked until this skin
bursts open, which is then rubbed off and the
grain driei. The white. therefore, is not
considered so pungent as the black. although
II Is nicer and more expensive, as more labor
Is necessary in order to prepare it.-N 7.

greatness, and vastness, which no figures
no description, had ever conveyed 10 my
mind. To an Inexperienced traveller t, 0,
how strange Is the appearance of all that
and Those boundless prairies seem as If
they had been cleared by the patient Ia
Dor of another race of men removing
all the forests, and roots, AID stumps, and
brambles, and smoothing them down as if
with mighty rollers, and sowing them with
Grass and howers-a race which then
passed away, having built no houses of
their own, and made no fences, and set
out no trees, and established no land
marks, to Law the foundation of future
claim. The mounds which you here and
there see. look, indeed, as if portion of
them had died, and had been buried there

fields had been forsaken together. You
ascend the Mississippi amidst scenery I'M
surpassed in beauty, probably, in the
world. You see the waters making their
way along an interval of from two to four
miles In width between bluffs of from a
hundred to five hundred feet IN height.
Now the river makes its way along the
eastern range of bluffs, and now the wes-
tern, and now in the center, and now 1t
divides itself into numerous channels.
forming thousands of beautiful islands
covered with long grass, ready for the
scythe of the mower. Those bluffs, roun-
ded with taste and skill such as could be
initiated by no art of man, and set out
with trees here and there gracefully ar
ranged like orchards, seem to have been
sown with grain 10 the summit. and are
clothed with beautiful green. You look
out lnstnctlyey for the house and barn;
for fiocks and herds for men, and wo-
men, and chldren-bat they are not
there. A race that's gone seems to have
cultivated those fields, and then to have
silently disap Peared-!eaving them for
the first man that should come from the
older parts OF our own country, or from
foreign lands, to take possession of them.
It IS only by process Of reflection, that
you are convinced that 1t Is not So. Bot
II is not the work Of man. II is God who
