Tea and Coffee Trade.

The London Economist gives the fol-
lowing data with reference to the con-
sumptions of tea and coffee in the United
States and England:
The consumption Of tea in the United
States is said to have been, in the year
1862, 25, ,587 OBS lbs; in England it was,
according to our trade tables, 54,724,6l5
lbs; so that we consume nearly double as
much tea in proportion to our numbers
as the people of the United States. In
1862. however, they consumed l80, ,53l !
499 lbs. of coffee, while we only consumed
81, ,044, ,376 lbs; so that, having regard
to the population, they consume six times
more coffee than we consume. In ten
years the. consumption Of tea in the
States has increased from 1878, ,969
| lbs. in 1913, to 25, 5,587 ,66S lbs. in 1852
or it has doubled; while in England the
Consumption has increased nearly one
third, or from 40,203,3 1903 lbs. in l643,
to 54,724,6l5 lbs. in 1852. In the States
the consumption of coffee has increased
from So, 81 {, csc lbs; in 1843, to 18O, ,53l )
4e9 lbs. in 1852-or it has more than
doubled. In England the consumption
of coffee has increased from 29,979 ,404
lbs. in 1851, to 35,044, ,376 lbs. in 1852
or one-sixth. The population of the
State has increased from Is, 8,l55,56l tc
"a, 500, 0,00O-or one-third. The consump.
ton of both coffee and tea in the States
has increased much faster than the peo-
pie, from which we see that they, like the
English, are advancing in wealth, com
forts, and luxuries, as they increase il
numbers

Wonderful People.

/. A german Jurisprudent named Hen
ry Kornman, published book in the
beginning of the 18th century, in which
he details with becoming gravity some
wonderous yarns.
In describing the wonders that are to
be found in the South Sea:'he tells us
that Diodorus, the geographer, writes
that there is an island in it where the in
habitants are four cubics taller than the
inhabitants Of Greece and Italy-their
tongue is divided in two from the roots,
so that they can keep up conversation
with one half of their tongue, and with
another, with the other at the same time.
Abiding to the Molucca Islands, he as
surcs US, with inimitable simplicity, that,
in the Island of Ceylon, which is one of
them, there is q nation with ears so large
that they hang down to their shoulders,
and that on another island close by it,
there is nation with ears still longer
The inhabitants of it are accustomed when
they 90 to sleep, to lay down on one ear
and to cover themselves up with the 9th
erp This story, he informs US, is to be
found in that celebrated author Maxim
ilianus Transylvanus, of whose celebrity,
1 however we are at this time of day unfor-
tunately ignorant. A Knight of the name
of Pigafetta pledges his credit for the
truth of it, as any of our readers may see,
who chose to refer to his History of the
East Indies. To match this people
who made coverlets of their ears, the
worthy German informs us that there are
people in India who make parasol OF
their foot. This story rests on the au
thority of Solinus, who, in his 53d chap
ter, enlightenes the world by telling it
that there is a nation of one eyed people
in India, Who though they have but on
leg, are endowed with singular feetness
When they want to protect themsclye
from the heat, they throw themselves or
their back, and recline under the shade
Of their foot, which is immensely large

The Last COnundrunl,

At a dinner party, few days since, while
champagne was circulating pretty freely,
and jests were sparkling as sparkling
wine, one modest young gentleman, who
was engaged in the turkey department,
suddenly proposed a conundrum;
"Why are the most Of people who eat
turkey, like babies z"
A great silence followed, accompanied
with deep reflection. No one could an
swer, all seemed perplexed. The modest
young gentleman blushed, and backed
out of his own proposition, but an over,
curious female relative detained him By
the button of his coat, and he was com
pelled, at the entreaties of the party, to
give the answer, which was.
"Because they are fond of the breast. .
Two middle-aged young ladies faintod
and the coroner was sent for Immediately
to hold an inquest over the remains of the
young man, who was suddenly carried
out.

Marriage Scene in India.

Bayard Taylor writes from Bombay
as follows:
Last night, on my way home from the
Botantic Garden, | met magnificent
marriage procession in the streets OF the
native town. First came very large
number of beautiful children, in open
carriages, the pearls and spangles on
their dress glittering' in the light of tor
ches, which were born upon long poles
and waved in riotous jubilee to sounds of
music. Behind them were boys in jew
eled robes, on horseback, with servants
holding golden fringed umbrellas over
their heads. The music-a piercing
medley Of fifes, drums, and hutes-came
next, and then the bridegroom, mounted
on white horse. He was a man of about
twenty, clad in splendid robes of white
silk, all embroidered with gold. His
turban cleaned with pearls and his
cheeks and forehead were covered with
gold leaf. He was a living I'll Dorado
but sat so grave and motionless on bis
horse, looking straight before hiw, that
be might have been taken for bedlzened
statue. A servant holding silver screen
resembling fan, walked on each side OF
him, and behind him came the dowry
borne on men &eads. 1t was contained
in twenty or thirty houses, arranged SC
as to form quadrangle with temple
in the centre of all.

4 Bic Snake,

We understand that while Mr. Whip,
a farmer in the Bedford Valley, not far
from Cumberland, was moving his mead
ows few days since, he discovered the
track of some enormous reptile, and, upon
following it up, came to the skin that had
been shed by snake, which, upon meas
urement, proved to be tsccnty one feet Str
inches long. This may seem to be most
marvellous snake story, but there are sew
eral persons in this place, not remarkable
for credulity, who fully believe it. 1t was
told US as fact, and we tell it as such.

that he ran to the stairs, and in his agi-
tation, made but one step to their foot.
During the dark hours of the revolu-
tionary struggle, when public credit was
at the lowest ebb, and Congress had ap-
pealed to the public spirit Of the Ameri-
can people for aid in contributions of mo-
ncy, provisions and clothing, Mrs. Har-
ris left Harrisburgh at daylight, with one
hundred guineas, all the money her hus-
band had on hand at the time, and
changing horses at Lancaster, thirty-fve
miles on the route; rode in that evening
to Philadelphia, being one hundred miles
in one day, and paid the money with her
own hands over to the committee appoin-
ted by Congress to receive it. Such was
the patriotism of that period.

Ice fer Cholera Morbus.

4 medical gentleman Of New York
has published in the 1itbltne the follow
ing method Of treating cholera morbus.-
It seems to US to be worthy Of attention
and trial A remedy so simple, for such
a serious and often fatal complaint, would
be of inestimable value =
Sir: Guided moro by my personal
experience, as an annual victim OF that
very common though very worrying and
prostrating malady, Cto5e,G 1lor6'ts, the
season which is now upon US, rather than
any observation of it, of late years, during
which have had but little to do with
general practice, | have come to the con
clusion that the remedy for it is Ice. Not
ice water nor even ice taken into the
mouth to melt and find its way into the
stomach as water, but crushed ice swaI-
lowed, or Ice Pills, if you please.
'The primary seat of this disease is the
stomach. There the intense thirst and
disagreeable bitterness, characteristic of
cholera morbus, originate, although ex
perienced in the mouth. There the ice
should be applied, with the view to alb
sorbing the morbid excess of caloric, or
heat. Iced water, by its greater bulk
distresses the stomach, while the ice itself,
applied to the part afected-swallowed
in small Jumps, not suffered to trickle
down-relieves it almost certainly.
Persons taking these Ice Pills, as I
, have called them, to indicate that the
; secret of the remedy proposed lies in tho
the form and mode of its administration
rather thaa in the remedy itself, which
is really nothing new, are sometimes an
larmed at the "shock" experienced in the
stomach. This is produced by the rapid
loss of morbid heat, and is therefore moth
ing to be alarmed at, but is favorable, on
the contrary. There need be no fear
Let the ice be taken freely, and it will
scarcely ever fail to give relief, without
the aid of any other medicine whatever.
"I am aware that advice unasked is too
usually, advice unthanked; but | felt that
the above fact should be generally known
, and therefore 1 make no apology for ta-
king up the brief space required for itz
statement.

A FACT TO REMENIBER.-In the course
of an inquest in London, a Mr.. Wakely
observed that it would be we'll to acquaint
the public with the fact, that if persons
in house on fire had the presence of
mind to apply damp cloth or handker-
chief to their mouth and nostrils they
could effect a passage through the denset
smoke; but the surest mode would be TO
envelop the head and face completely in
the damp cloth.

Courage.
py BARRY CORNWALL.


Courage!-Nothing car withstand
Long a wronged, undaunted land!
If the hearts within her be
True unto themselves and thee,
Thou freed giant, Liberty!
Oh! no mountain-nymph art thou,
When the helm is in thy brow,
And the sword is on thy hand,
Fighting for thy own good land!
Courage Nothing e'er withstood
Frecmen fighting for their good;
Armed with all their fathers fame,
They will win and wear a name
That shall 60 TO endless glory,
Like the goods Of old Greek story,
Raised to heaven and heavenly worth,
For the good they gave 10 earth.
Couragel-There is none so poor.
(None of all who wrong endure)
None so humble, none so weak,
But may flush his fathers cheek;
And his maidens dear and true,
With the deeds that he may do
Be his days as dark as night,
He may make himself light.
What! though sunken be the sun,
There are stars when day is done!
Courage!-Who will be slave,
That hath strength to dig grave,
And therein his fetters hide,
And lay tyrant by his side!
Courage!-Hope, howe'er he fly
For time, can neUer die!
Courage, therefore, brother men!
Cry God! and to the fight agaIn!'
A man that now day will write
And not prepay his letter
Is meaner than the heathen's are;
Who don't know any better.
And if you'd take fine tooth comb
And comb down all creation
You couldn't find meaner man
In this here mighty nation.
