Coffee-Curious History of its Use.

Coffee is of Asiatic origin, and brought
to the Occident by the Turks. They call it
cahceh Yemen, a province in Asia, is gen.
orally considered a place where the coffee
sprung up Certain it is that Arabian
herdsmen of the desert of Al-Dshesira, sp-
preaching one evening the shores of the
Euphrates, were the first to discover the en-
livening power of coffee. Worn out as they
were, affer n tiresnme journey through the
desert, they were reclining beneath coffee
tree, and for pastime began chewing beans.
They soon observed that their wearincss pass
ed away, and left them fine spirited through
the night. Next evening they repeated their
pastime, and it had the same effect. They
we're convinced that there was hidden and
refreshing power in the coffee beans
It was then introduced as a kind of rnedi-
cine for relaxation, for which purpose Il was
roasted, ground, and boiled in hot water, in
the manner we prepare coffee now Conse-
quent on the prohibition of wine drinking By
Mahomet, the use of coffee soon became in
extensive demand all over Arabia, Turkey.
and Persia. From these countries coffee was
introduced by the Vcnetians. IN lie year lo-
81. into Italy, to be used only as an enliven-
ing medicine. At first they tried it with the
leaves OF the coffee tree, which was however
abandoned. and they resorted to the coffee
beans. and prepared it in the sams manner
~ ts.a Arabians. After while it became a
favorite beverage for dainty persons, and ITS
importations from foreign country rendered
it in the eyes of tho aristocracy of that period,
desirable.

The following paragraphs occur in the Pas
toraf Letter lately addressed by the First Ca
tholic Provincial Council of Cincinnati, to the
clergy and laity of that diocese The docu-
ment is signed by fJohn Baptist, Archbishop
of Cincinnati, and six bishops:
To the grevous and utterly false charge of
disloyalty to this free government, your best
answer will be, to con.inue-what you have
all along sought earnestly and sincerely to do
TO discharge faithfully all your duties as
citizens to the republic. rendering to Caesar
the things that belong to Caesar, without at
the same time. forgetting to render to God
the things that belong to God The CathoEc
religion exists and hourishes under all stEns
of civl government; it is the visible kingdom
of Christ on earth, which is not of this world;
it is Incompatible with no we'll ordered form
of government because it interferes with none
It's sphere of action is essentially different
from, end essentially higher than that of any
merely human organization. Its ends, its
meanseof action, its doctrines, its sacraments
and its government all belong and look to the
spiritual order. 1t teaches man the way to
Heaven, and seeks to wcan his affections from
this earth It wages war with the passions,
and itnculcates self-denial, obedience to con-
stitulod duluoiieJs huAhiiie) anu shoiieJ
All that the Catholic church asks of the
world is free passage through it to her pro-
per home in the Heavens. She wishes her
Just rights to be protected; but if in spite of
her reinonstrances, they be violated, she has
long and thoroughly learned in the school of
the cross, the SUI lime lessons of patience and
of firm reliance on that God who controls the
destinies of man.ind, and who can relieve,
who will protect her in his own good time !;
thereby verifying his Own solemn promise,
that the gates of hell shall not prevail against
her. Her influence is thus errinently conser-
vatiye; she knows no geographical bounds,
no country and no race; she is all things to
all men, to gain all to Christ; she directs the
attention of all to heavenly things and if she
be occasionally forced into conflict with world
ly passions and interests, she enters the lists
reluctantly, only In defence of her heaven
born rights and privileges She increasingly
tells all her children to be subject to the high
er powers, for there is no power but from
God, and those that are, are ordained of God;
and that therefore he that resisteth the power
resisteth the ordinances of God, and they that
resist purchase to themselves damnation.

AusTRIA.-The position of Austria, at least, is
both unpleasant and precarious. She is standing
on the brink of a precipice, and one false step
may precipitate her and her fortunes forever, and
it is difficult to perceive any escape from the ne

is surrounded on every side by eager and watch
ful enemies actually ringed with fre-and where
ever her eyes are turned they encounter abhor-
renee, hatred or contempt. The people of En-
gland, her nominal allies, despise her and her

tance- The people of France regard her a he

The CRUSADE ExrrNDrSG-MEr Ar
rAcKEp-We see that the attack made by the
Know-N -Ncthings of New Jersey on the Meth
odist Church has extended to this State. The
New York Times gives an account of lecture
delivered on Thursday night at Knickerbock-
er Hall, BY Mr. John Auincy Adams, the OBJ
ject of which avoMedly was to prove the iden-
tity Of the internal policy of Episcopal Meth
odism with that of the Roman Catholic system
besides which, the lecturer commended the
principles of church government adopted by
that body of Protestants were opposed to A
mericanism. The argument Of the speaker
was entirely one of critical reference to the
internal constitution of Episcopal Methodism,
which he denounced as a system framed for
the especial and exclusive benefit of self con-
stituted and authoritative priests. He affirmed
that it placed powers in the hands of the
preachers J" any member, however innocent
of moral criminality. being liable to expulsion.

the prerogatives of the priesthood. These
positions the lecturer endeavored to substan-
tiate from an examination of the fundamental
constitution of Episcopal MethOdism. .-AI6any

FOURTH DEGREE.-The Boston Atlas sug-
gests that the know-nothing party needs a
fourth degree to render it perfect, under which
members shall obligate themselves not to seek
office There wouldn't be much knocking at
that door. It is believed that all the disap-
pointed and broken down ofice-seekers of the
two old parties nave already joined the Coun-
cils and they wouldn't feel disposed to take
more than the third degree. which requires
members to vote for brothers of that degree

appeared in Paris. and third in Amsterdam
Not, however, until the year 1892, was coffee
known in Germany; it was imported from
Holland already roasted The first public
coffee-house was established in Lefpzig, in
the year 1920, which, no doubt, is the oldest
coffee house IN the world, as It's even at the
present day place of public amusement
Two circumstances contributed principally
to make coffee general beverage in Germany;
firstly, that coffee was exempted by the gov
ernment from the taxes laid on beer and wine:
sand, secondly, the powers Of coffee TO produce
an agreeable excitement without intoxication-
These qualities made it the most agreeable
beverage to ladies' and business men, The
Jews in Germany, known to be the most ac.
tive merchants, became exceedingly fond OF
this enliyening beverage, and also the poets.
It is a well-known story that the French poet,
Rousseau once on a visit to Voltaire, remark
ed othe latter that coffee was poison. Vol
taire replied, True but poison which
affects the health very slowly, as have been
drinking it for sixty years .
The greatest opponents to coffee drinking
are the homeopathic doctors. who consider cot
fee as most injurious TO the health: Indeed
it is. to nervous people, particularly strong
coffee also to dyspeptics it may prove not d.
gestible but in the latter case its i'll digestion
arises from the impure iiiiA "hien % 1A>
with it. :.
The French and Germans drink more black
coffee than white, and take soon atterward
glass of pure, cool water and that custom Is
one which would be useful to adopt IN this
country, as in this manner coffee is not even
injurious to plethoric people, if they drink on
ly small quantity of it. 1t serves under
this condition to aid digestion and enliven the
spirits To young people it is not SO whole
some as beer-soup, which is used for them In
Germany. And young ladies who wish to
become as feshy as the vocalist Albcni, must
refrain from drinking coffee, and had better
initiate the German in the use of beer-sou2.
There Is often added to coffee roasted roots.
as that of succory or carrot. for instance,
which diminishes its flavor. Roasted beans
Of cocoa, on the other hand, are most healthy
and palatable if mixed with coffee The
Turks add different spices, and the French
pour rum In it. so do also the Italians and
Germans; and they use the yolk of an egg
instead of cream, which is commendable where
there is no good milk to be found Particu-
lar care is everywhere taken, except in this
country, not to roast and grind the coffee be-
fore it is wanted for Immediate use, otherwise
it loses by exhalation the volatile oil which
imparts such an excellent flavor TO it.
