PANIo.-Yes, dear reader, there is pan
lc in our city, not a Yellow Fever panic,
but matrimonial panic. During the
last two or three weeks eight or ten cou-
pies have been joined in the holy bands
Of wedlock.
The white headed, the mildled aged.
have like the young ones, acted under
the influence oftRe panic.
To all we wish a pleasant journey over
the sea of matrimony. We heartily con-
graduate you upon your new state of eX-
istence, and sincerely hope that life to
you all may be one scene Of perpetual
sunshine with sno clouds to mar the
bright sky of your existence. May peace,
prosperity and happiness attend You, and
may the dove of love ever lnger near,
bringing joy and untold happiness.

a9@ This morning friend informed
us that it wa. rumored in the Navy Yard
that large discharge would soon take
place in the stone mason's department. The
foundation of the report is that very
large quantity of stone has just arrived
at the Yard already dressed for use.
Why could it not have been shipped
here in it's rough state, and worked up
by our own Mechanics, is question yet
to be answered.

"THE OLD DOMINION"


MANY modes have been adopted, and
1VIiingenious contrivances brought forth,
particularly French ideas, for the prepare
ton Qf Coffee for the Table-to make it pala-
table, healthy and economical. But the de-
sideratum-a Coffee Pot for the million-that
would never fail to yield good coffee, remain
ed to be produced by the never-tailing Yam
kee Nation, and comes forth from Virginia
the Old Dominion-and hence the name it
bears.
PECULIAR ADVANTAGES.
The coffee made in this boiler is always
palatable because there is no loss of the flavor
of the coffee by evaporation, as in the ordi
nary boiler, always healthy, because the bit
ter principle of the coffee is held in subjec-
ton to the aromatic, by means of the con-
denser; always economical, because being
boiled, the full strength of the grain is eX
tracted-which is not the case with the ordi-
nary French strainer-the saving being from
20 to 80 per cent.
