@-A Coon JoKE.-Last week. young
merchant of this city, went down into
Richie county to dispose of some goods.
He is regarded here as pretty good Uuiou
man, but whilst converting with some
friends at Richie Court House, he dropped
some expressions which were interpreted
by the vigiIant Union men as meaning Sc
cessiou. Nothing was said to the mer-
chant at the time, but ON the evening of
the same day, he, being very gallant
man, made an engagement with Young
lady to visit some friends in the country.
As the merchant and the young lady were
rowing gaily up Hughes river, on their
way to the friends aforesaid, aud as both
were lu1uriating in the anticipation of a
good time generally, a soldier made his
appearance on the shore, and with cooked
musket called a halt. The merchant ronnd-
ed to, and was informed that he was Uni
ted States prisoner-that he was appre-
hended for uttering seditious language.-
The appeals of the merchant were all in
vain. he was taken 10 custody, and not
outstanding his proposition to give bond
for his appearance, he was kept in close
confinement. and was brought to this city
under guard. Upon his arrival here, b
was released by Major DaFr, the Provost
Marshal, upon his giving bond for his good
behavior until the evidence could be col
lected. Most people who have heard the
story, regard it as a good ttjOke on sny-
DER but the merchant don't see it, and we
must confess that, to our own vision, the
thing is mot altogether apparent.

Illinois Coffee,

The illinois Prairie Farmer is no doubt
right in assuming that the $50 called) coffee,
raised by Mr.. Huffman, in Effingham County,
Illinois, is not the product of any such plant
as the genuine coffee shrub. But the corre-
spondent of that paper, who supposes the
Ef6ngham coffee to be the same as okra (or
gumbo) is entirely mistaken, There is no
resemblance whatever between the nut OF
this Efingham plant and the pod which con-
tains the eatable part of the okra plant.
This nut is little larger than mario W. fat
pea, and nearly globular. The okra pod, as
we all know in this region, is a dubious
pouch some three or four inches long. As
this correspondent revives the subject that
the seed of the okrs makes a palatable coffee,
we may mention that gentleman of our ac-
quaintance, who some years ago tried them
as a substitute for the coffee bean, satisfied
himself by careful experiment that de-
coction of these seeds, though bearing no re-
semblance to coffee, might for its flavor take
the place Of castor oil! A deIectable flavor,
truly, and quite nice for those who like it.
