THAT is an eight dollar hat was the reply.
The parson turned it over again and remarked
that it was very fine, very fine indeed :"
and so they parted.
The next day the parson wendell his way to
the hatter's store, and after the customary
salutation, took him aside, and observed that
he was not accustomed to wear hats worth
eight dollars; that a four dollar hat was good
enough for nina plenty. He concluded by
proposing to exchange the hat he had received
for four dollar one, and to take the balance
in money. Fact.

vatc letter, written by Gen. Pomcroy, from
Manhattan, Kansas Territory, Nov. 81
For some DAYS have been exploring this
Western region far beyond the settlements of
any white man. BY lookin" upon the map
you will see that the ''Smoky Hill, - and the
- Republican rivers unite ut Fort Riley and
form the Kansas. One day and half of fine
horseback riding up tile Smoky Hill brought
us to Solomon's Forks where we campcd for
two days. The country is cutup with deep "a
vines. full of timber and alive with wild ami
mails. Deer. antelope and buffalo are n,,-
mcrous the latter are now very fat and fine
AS forturkeyS. they rcthick as frogs in Egypt
The prarics at this point are not us smooth as
below. nor as rich. Two days more brought
us to the Saline, which river is very salt. as
many salt springs run into it. The valley is
beautiful and grass is here green all winter.
We have made Il town ut the mouth of the
Saline. Fifteen men took claims, and have
just returned for more.
The town where am now stopping for day
is ut the mouth of the - Big Blue and upon
the north side of the Kansas. We have here
Il steam mill and good settlement. The pro-
slavery men now are quiet and mostly ont of
the territory We number four to their one
and probably more. for the Southern army

EFFECTS OF CoFFEE.-Thc effects of coffee up
on the human system are said. by II writer in
Blackwoous Magazine, to consist in making
the brain more active soothing the body gen
orally making the change and waste of mat.
ter much slower than usual, and the demand
for food, lii consequence much less. These
results are produced hy the combined effects
of volatile oil. a species of tannin, and "a
substance called theme or cotfcinc common to
both tea and coffee. 1t is also thought that
the lcsscning of the general bodily waste
which follows the consumption of a daily allow
ancc of coffee, causes a saving of starch AMI
gluten equal to the cost of the coffee.
