COFFEE AS A MENTAL STMuLANT.-Schiller,
during his hours of composition, kept at his
side a bottle of Champagne or Rhensh wine, or
cup of strong coffee. Horace Walpole wrote
usually from ten to two o'clock at night, always
having strong coffee by him. Sir William Jones
drank great deal Of coffee to support him in
his nocturnal studies Baron de Grimm states
that Voltaire, few days prior to his death,
with his characteristic activity and enthusiasm,
attended the rehearsal of the Academy, and
insisted on the production of new and import
ant edition of their dictionary. To this project
many objections were started, which he re-
solved to obviate in an elaborate discourse. To
strengthen himself for the task, he swallowed
prodigious quantity of strong coffee and then
continued to work for upwards of twelve hours
without intermission This independent effort
brought on an inflammation of the bladder For
the purpose of relieving the pain, he swallowed,
with his usual impotence, large quantity Of
laudanum The consequence was that he fell
into lethargy, from which he never entirely
recovered.

A PETRIFIED CORPSE IN WIsCoNsIN.-The
Fond du Lac Journal relates the following very
extraordinary case of rapid petrifaction "On
the 10th Of August, l847, Mrs. Phelps, wife Of
our informant, Abner p. Phelps, died and was
buried at Oak Grove, in Dodge county. On the
18th of April last, she was taken up to be re-
moved to Strong's Landing. The coffin was
found to be very heavy, and the body to retain
its features and proportions. After its reno
val to Strong's Landing, distance of As miles,
the body was examined and found to be wholly
petrifed--converted to u substance resembling
a Ight-colored stone. Upon trial, edge-tools
made no more impression upon it than upon
marble. In striking upon the body with
metal, hollow ringing sound was produced
The disease by which she came to her death
was chill, fever and dropsy, and when the body
was buried it was very much swollen. The
ground in which she had been buried was o
yellowish loan, and the body lay about three
feet above the lime rock"
