BLESSING OF BEASTS AT RoME.-We
went, last Sunday, to see the blessing OF
beasts-an annual ceremony, which takes
place at the church of San Antonio Abate.
There was an immense crowd of all descrlp-
tions and classes of people among the
rest vast convocation of beggars, the
crippled and manned in endless varieties,
wrecks and remnants, divisions and SUBJ
divisions of men. A priest stood on the
steps of The church, with holy-water
sprinkler in his hand, and a little boy at
hls side, bearing the benisier. The animals
were trotted up before him; he read form
of benediction in Latin shook the sprink-
ler at them, and they were good for a
twelvemonth. Of course, this is done for
a consideration-as what is not in the way
of church parades, privileges and immuni-
ties The first applicants for benedic-
ton. after our arrival, were two miserable
old cart-horses, who looked as though the
blessings of all the fathers Of the church
could not keep them on their legs for twen-
ty-four hours. fearthe rite was extreme
JUNCTION 10 them; and yet the owner doubt
less led them away, rejoicing in the faith
that the crows were cheated OF the poor
skeletons for year to come. Next came
drove of donkcys, with their heads and
tails decoraled with gay ribands. One OF
these committed the ever-to-be-aPprehend-
ed asinine improperly of braying in the
midst of the ceremony, So absurd, ludi-
crous and pompously fagcical was this scene
so stupid, yet consciously ridiculous
seemed The chief actors, that it struck me
the benediction might have commenced
without appropriateness, with an apostol.

A MODERN CRusoE.-An officer of the
East India army on sick leave, furnishes
a rather interesting account Of a visit 20 the
"Cocoas," group of untrequented islands
between seven and eight. hundred miles
southwark and westward of Java Head. A
CAPTAIN Boss, formerlyofthe Indian army,
IS here "nonarch of all hesurvcys," be-
ing, with his family sole occupants, saving
some Malays in his pay. Some partcu-
lars of his visit arc thus supplied:
About the sixth day from Java Head,
we sighted the Islands which are very low,
covered to the waters edge with trees
There are about twenty-four Of them, the
largest less than mile broad they are in
circle, reefs joining them and forming
magnificent lagoon to which there IS only
one entrance. went on shore early n
the morning after We anchored, and pulled
about three miles up the lagoon to the set
Element. Their chief amusement appears
to be sailing boats Of which there are i'm
mense numbers, and managed beautifully
| counted nearly thirty as IpuRed up, sail
ing away to The different islands 10 plcl
up nuts. .
"Captain Ross is strange, gaunt look
ino man he and his sons resemble Robin
son Crusoes. !TheyIise in wooden nhouses
raised about ten feet, Oh piles from the
ground, and are as rough as YOU may I'M
agine. They have books, and the 'quantl
ty Captain Ross reads is wonderful. Ht
has been twenty six years on the islands
The Malays are lazy set of fellows. he
paws them so much day, and SO well
that they won't work more than two OF
three days d week. The greatest punish
ment he inhicts is to Danish them from the
| islands"

CorFEE.--Ilere are some facts worth
knowing, Read and ponder them we'll
The generality Of families make their cof-
fec too weak, and use too much sugar, which
often causes it 10 acid on the stomach
Almost every housekeeper has peculiar
method of making coffee but 1t never can
be excellent unless it be made strong OF
the berry. And make it as you will, strong
or weak, sweet or bitter unless it is prop
erly roasted, it will be miserable, un-
wholesome beverage. If it be under done
its virtues will not be impaired, and IN use
it will load and oppress the stomach if il
be over-done, 1t will yield fat, burnt and
bitter taste; its virtues will be destroyed,
and in use, it will heat the body, and act
as an astringent. The closer it is confined
at the time of roasting, and till used, the
better will its volatile pungency favor and
virtues be preserved Count Rumford, a
gentleman of science, taste, skill, judge
ment and ability to say the truth, says =
Coffee may be too bitter but it is impos.
sible that it ever should be too fragrant
The very smell OF it is reviving, and has
Eoften been found to be useful to sick per-
sons, and to those who are affected with
the headache. In short, everything proves
that the volatile, aromatic matter, what.
ever it may be, that gives, flavor to coffee,
is what is most valuable in IT,. and should
be preserved with great cnre' and thai
in estimating the" strength or richness Of
that beverage, its fragrance should be much
more attended to, than either its bitterness
or astringency. This aromatic substance,
which is supposed to be an oils extremely
volatile, and escapes into the air with great
facility, as is observed BY its oiling the
room with its fragrance if suffered to re-
main uncovered, and at the same time los
ing much of lis Aavor'-and he might have
said, by long exposure, will lose all its
valuable qualities.-.Neac York Plough.

THE TRADES OF PARIs.-A committee
of inquiry from tie Paris Chamber oil
Commerce have recently made a thor
ough examination of the industrial produc-
tions of Paris. M. Michel Chevaler makes
their report the snbject of short article,

may interest our reader. 1t appears thai

IA, 600, 900 milliners to 100000; piano
makers to 100000; and, what is little
remarkable, artificial flower makers to the
same. The shawl makers goods amount
to 0,000, COO; butchers and sausage dea'
lers are put down at 91,OG0,OOO: bakers

Iabors of the committee throw some lgh'
on the expense of revolutions. In 1S47,

Paris was ,463, ,62S,O00 francs in 1S4e
