The man that didn't take the papers,
WAS in town yesterday. lie brought Ills
whole family i'll a two horse wagon. He
still believed that General Taylor was
President, and wanted TO know if the
kamkatkians' had taken Cuba, and if
so, where they had taken it. He had
sold his cora i1r'tllr,y cclts-the price
being tiity.tivc-but on going TO deposit
the money, they told him that it was
mostly counterfeit. The only hard money
he had WAS some three cent pieces, and
these some sharpcrs had "run Oh him"
for half dimes. One of the boys went
to backsmi;h's shop TO bemcasursd for
pair of shoes, and another mistoook the
market-housc for Il church. After hang

How COFFEE CAME TO Be lsED.-IhC
discovery of its use as beverage, is as
cribcd 10 the Superior Of a monastery in
Arabia: who, desirous of preventing the
monks from sleeping at their nocturnal
services, made them drink the infusion OF
coffee, upon the report of some shepherds,
who observed that their flocks were more
lively after browsing on the fruit of that
plant. A single plant brought there in
1914 became the parent stock of all coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The cx-
tent of consumption can now hardly be
realized. The United States alone annl,-
ally consume at the cost of its landing,
from fifteen to sixteen million Of dollars.
