years orhis life, Clarke was made free of the
Astor House table, and oitentmes this errant
man OF genius could be seen accepting its bos-
pitalittes, when other doors were closed on his
fallen fortunes. Every one knew Clarke by
sight; and one day, while quietly taking his
dinner, two travellers, seating themselves op
posite, commenced conversation intended for
the ears Of Clarke. One SAID:

with some notes on coffee and coifee-making
from which we extract the subioined, hoping
our readers will be benefited thereby: !
The roasting ofcoffee is an operation Of con.
siderable nicety;more, perhaps, depending upon
/ it than upon the variety Of the article itself
Coffee is roasted by the dealers, in hollow iron
cylinders or globes, which are kept revolving
over fire. As the first effect is the evapora-
ton of a considerable amount o water, if the
vessel is closed this is retained, and, and the
coffee roasted in an atmosphere of its own
steam. This is not thought to be the best plan;
and if the operation be carried on at home, it
is recommended that the coffee be first dried in
an open pan over gentle fire, until it becomes
yellow 1t should then be Scorched in a cover
ed vessel, to prevent the escape of the aroma;
taking care, bv proper agitation, to prevent any
portion from being burnt; az few charred
grains communicate a bad odor to the rest -

too low the aromatic favor is not produced :;
and fit be too high, the rich oily matter is dis

Sency of the charred seeds The operation
should be. continued until the coffee is Sufficient
ly,strong. 1t may then be taken from The fire,
and allowed to cool without exposure to the air,
that the aromatic vapor may condense, and be
retained by the roasted grains. Coffee is very
apt to be over roasted, and even Slight excess
of heat greatly Injuries its properties 40
To prepare the coffee, it should be roasted
and ground just before using, no more being
ground at a time than is wanted immediately.

Of the Republican party. 1t they really re-
pented Of their former errors and vlrifrations
OF the great Democratic Statesman, it would be
all very well: but the hvpoeritical regard they
now profess for his memory is merely parti
zan device. Wanting TO aid their pernicious
organization. they laid sacriljgious hands upon
the fame Of Jefferson, and thus "Stole the liv-
cry Of heaven TO serve the Devil in" In an.
swer to letter inviting him to be present at
the Boston celebration, Mr.. Bryant wrote as
follows:
