very similar to those which fell several years

four to six ounces, and fell over a surface OF

They were too well defined in shape and ap-
pearance to allow of any mistake in their char

JAVA COFFEE AND PEPPER-In extent, ia
va is about seven hundred miles in length, and
it varies from eighty to one hundred and for
tv miles in width. In area is less than twen-
II thousand square miles The face of the
country is more or less broken by mountains,
but the soil generally is rich and productive.
The products are rice, sugar, coffee, pepper,
spices, and profusion of the finest tropical
fruit Coffee is cultivated to as great per-
fection as almost any other part of the world,
Il grows upon large 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 of
the plum, and the color, when ripe, pale
scarlet.
The bush very productive. Every branch
is loaded with berries. which grow two in a
place, on the opposite sides of each other, and
about an inch and half apart. When ripe
the skin bursts open, and the grains ofcoffee
fall out upon the ground; but more general
way is to spread something under the bush.
and shake the coffee down. After the outer
skin is off there remains kind of husk over
each kernel, which is broken off (after being
well dried in the SUM by heavy rollers. The
coffee, after this needs winnowing, in order to
be freed from the broken particles of the bush.
1t has been said by some writer's that one bush
will not with another, average more than a
pound of coffee.
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. Here pepper
is perhaps, the finest and most abundant of
any one country in the world. Black pepper
grows on vine, very much like our grape
vine. The pepper grows, and looks when
green, very much like our currants. There
is this difference, however, the currant has its
own distinct stem, but the pepper has not,
every grain grows hard on to one common
stem, just as each grain of Indian corn does
on the cob The color of the pepper, when
first ripe, is almost bright red, and changes
to dead black by being exposed to the heat of
the sun.
! The white is nothing more than the COM
mon black, with the outer skin taken off, 1t
is first rolled until this skin bursts open, which
is then rubbed off and the grain dried. The
white is not considered so pungent as the black
though it is nicer and more expensive, as
more labor is necessary in order to prepare it.

EE Another disgraceful scene took place
in the Senate at Washington, between Mr..
Benton and hangman Foote. In the course OF
the debate upon giving certain instructions to
the committee of thirteen appointed at the in
stance of the latter upon the slavery question,
Foote was very insolent towards Benton, and
high words ensued between them. The fol-
lowing is the telegraphc report of the scene:
Mr.. Benton. becoming rather excited, ap-
preached Mr.. Footc in menacing manner
Mr.. Foot retreated from the centre of the hall,
drew his pistol from his bosom and cooked it.
Senators surrounded Foote. Dickinson took
the pistol from him. Mr.. Benton in the mean
while was struggling in the hands of his friends
who were endeavoring to prevent him from
reaching Foote. He denounced him as an as
sassin who had, dared 10 bring pistol into
the Senate to murder him. He said 4 have
no arms. Examine me. l Gerry nothing of
the kind. Stand out of the way, and let the
scoundrel and assassin fire!' In uttering this
sentence, Benton threw off those who held him,
tore open his breast. and invited the fire of his
antagonist After repeated efforts on the part
Of the Vice President, order was restored.

WASHINGTON, ApFn 10.
HoUsE.-The Speaker said he had been
deputed to inform the House of the decease
of the late Clerk, which took place since the
adjournment on Friday last. He might be
permitted to accompany the melancholy an
nouncement with the single remark that since
his official association with him, he had faith
fully discharged all the duties of his Office, SO
far as they came under his observation.
Mr.. Gentry said this was the first time since
the beginning of the government the Clerk
had died while Congress was in session, and
there was no precedent to guide them as to
who should be the course of proceedings The
officer whose death had been announced dis
charged his duty with fidelity as testified by
the Speaker. In Tennessee, his native state,
the deceased always commanded the love and
confidence of large circle of friends and re-
ceived many distinguished marks of popular
confidence and esteem. He was repeatedly
Clerk of the House of Representatives of Ten
nessee, and member of Congress. He was
elected for the last Congress.
