How Prepared Coffee is Made.

The Baltimore American, who admits
itself to be a great lover of Coffee, says it
has recently received two serious checks
to this enthusiasm One was the assur-
ance of an old traveller from the East that
his Mocha was not Mocha, and the other
is related below
Visiting recently the Commissary De-
partment of one Of our large military hos
pitfalls, We noticed several barrels of dried
coffee grounds, the purpose whereof excl
ted our curiosity. The polite commissa-
ry informed US that they received twelve
dollars barrel for the grounds, and thus
added materially TO the 'Slush Fand. :
But what is it purchased for? We per-
sisted Well, said he hesitatingly, it is
rearomatized by the transforming hand OF
modern chemistry, and put in pound pa
pers, which are decorated with attractive
labels and high sounding names, and sold
at prices which create astonishment at the
small margin left for profits

g Tobacco is an expensive LUXURY

ng- Tobacco is an expensive luxury"
just now, and the chewing of it habit
from which some of its votaries may de-
sire to break lose. The following, taken
from an exchange, may aid such:
"a friend of mine overcame the habit
of chewing tobacco by substituting a bit
of cracker for his accustomed quid lie
had previously tried chamomile flowers
and other means without success, and a.
dopted the cracker upon the recommen-
dation of a casual stage coach companion
some years ago. His hankering for to-
bacco was soon overcome and he has new
er had relish for it since
He gave up the use of the cracker al
so in few weeks, and as his adviser had
also been cured by the same means, L am
induced to offer the remedy for publica-
ton"

Famine In the Cape de We're Islands.

The Boston Daily AdccrtiScr reports,
on the authority of captain direct from
from Santiago, that positive famine ex-
listed in the Cape de We're islands. There
has been no rain for year, the crops
have failed, the verdurc is parched and
shrivelled with heat, and the ground is
dry and dusty. The people are focking
into the town to beg, but receiving moth :
ihg where there is nothing to give, die
by scores. In three months 1000 have
thus died. One cannot walk the streets
without beholding the dying. In the
country the captain beheld scenes still
more horrible. Men haggard with hun
ger begged him at every step; women
gaunt and weak, tottered along the road
and fell fainting in full sight, perhaps, of
the city where they hoped to find bread
children, almost naked, held up their lit
tie bony arms, mutely asking for help.-
lie went but a short distance, and return
cd heart sick. When the cargo of the
brig WAS lanGed and carried up into the
city, men and women dug in the dust for
the few grains of rice which fell from the
bags, and treasured them as if they had
been gold. There can be no crops be-
fore the first Of December, even if the
islands have rain.

Taking a Flag.

Among the many incidents of bravery
and personal daring exhibited ii stormine
the enemy's intreuchments at Petersburg,
the capture of rebel battle flag by pri-
vate in the Third New York Regiment.
in Gen. Smiths corps, deserve especial
mention. While the contest was at its
height, and the tide of battle swaying to
and fro, he espied the flag borne by reb-
ell captain who picked it up as its former
bearer fell at his side The gallant New
Yorker singled him out for personal en-
counter, and, after a hard hand to hand
fight, succeeded in capturing the flag and
its bearer, and emerged from the dust
and smoke of the conflict vigorously bear
ing the banner and driving the Captain
before him. Gen. Butler heard Of the
incident, sent for the daring man, ascer-
tanned that he was formerly mechanic,
but now humble private in the ranks
obtained specimen of his handwriting;
found by conversation that he was sensi-
BILE and intelligent, and commissioned him
a lieutenant on the spot. This is the
way to reward brave men and the best
way to select officers. Napoleon always
made his promotions of men from the
ranks who had proved themselves capa-
bic and worthy. If soldierly merit had
been the standard of promotion in our ar
my We should have had better officers.

Democratic Talk.

1
/ Andy Johnson, who is sneered at b,
the Democratic" newspapers as an ''ig
norant tailor" has been making a speech
at Nashville, from which we extract wha
follows. 1t may sound little too demo
cratic for the stomachs of the Southern
officiating democracy" of the North, bu
it suits us Union men exactly:
[ have always understood that there is
a sort Of exclusive aristocracy about Nash
vile which affects to condemn all who are
not within its little circle. Let them en-
JOY their opinions. | have heard it said
that
"Worth makes the man, and want of it the
fellow"
This aristocracy has been the bane of
the Slave States nor has the North been
wolly free from its curse. 1t is a class [
have always forced to respect me, for /
have ever set it at defiance. The respect
of the honest, intelligent and industrious
class L have endeavored to win by my
conduct as man. One Of the chief ele-
ments of this rebellion is the opposition
of the slave aristocracy to being ruled by
men who have risen from the ranks of
the people.
The aristocracy hated Mr.. Lincoln be-
cause he was of humble origin-a rail
splitter in early life. One of them-the
private secretary of Howell Cobb-said to
me, one day, after a long conversation,
ave people of the South will not submit
to be governed by man who has come
up from the common people, as Abe Lin
coin has" He uttered the essential feel
ing and spirit of this Southern rebellion.
Now, it has just occurred to me, if this
is so violently opposed to be-
ing governed by Mr.. Lincoln, what in the
name of conscience will it do with Lincoln
and johnson =? [Great laughter l re-
ject with scorn this whole idea of an ar
rogant aristocracy | believe that man
is capable of self-government, irrespective
of. his outward circumstances and wheth-
er he be a laborer, a shoemaker, tailor,
or a grocer.
| am Democrat in the strictest mean
ing of the term. | am for this Govern
ment because it is democratic-a govern
ment of the people. I am for putting
down the rebellion, because it is war "a
gainst democracy. He who stands off,
stirring up discomfort in the State and
higgling about negroes, is practically in
the rebel camp and encourages treason.
He who in Indiana or Ohio makes war
upon the Government out Of regard to
Slavery is just as bad. The salvation Of
,he country is now the only business
which concerns the patriot.

Liberty-Loving Copperheads.

When the horse-thief Morgan was ma
king his raid in Kentucky, the Cincinnati
Copperhead Eaqutirer called upon Ken
tuckians to rally to the support of the
horse-thieyes, and drive the Federal Alb
olitionists out of their State. For this
infamous Copperhead teaching ard preach
ing, Gen. Barbridge prohibited the circu-
lafion of that vide sheet in Kentucky
At this the Enquirer is exceedingly wroth.
Now, were the gang Of reprobates, of
which the Enquirer is one of the organs,
in power, what splendid "free press" and
"free speech" times We should have, to
be sure Are not the Copperheads the
grandcst Apostles Of Liberty the world
has ever known To be sure they are
They gave us some memorable examples
of their liberty-loving propenslties in New
York last summer, where, for few days,
they were permitted to fairly revel in ri
OF, robbery, and murder. They were
then in power, and powerful use they
made of their power.

"the sum of villainies," " is destroyed com.
pletely aud irretrievably Heaven grant
that so it may be. Do you know how
these skin aristocrats rave over the new

tion of their duplicity and inconsistency

All the rest of the old mans slaves

ing their inability to go along without the

manner, and there in the midst of them

this misery. [ believe [ would have
been justified in breaking his neck.
We advised these poor people to stay,
as they were perfectly safe, being inside
our lines, and in case we fell back we
would manage to take them with us; and
in the mean time, if the old man ill-treat-
ed them we would come back and chas-
tise him. So we went away and en-
camped that night on the banks of the
sluggish and malarious Pamunkey. Let
me say to you, with reverence, that this
country would aboltionize the devil. We
seem to have settled down to the regular
operations of siege. Everything is fa-
vorable to US We believe Grant to be
the greatest General of the age, and every
soldier seems to be animated with the
spirit of the Commanding General. Lee
has been driven distance of 70 miles,
and is now emphatically in his last ditch

Our regiment (140th Penna. Vols.) has
suffered severely. [ suppose you have
heard of Capt. McCullough's death. He |
was shot in the skirmish line. The ball |
entered his thigh, sevcring the femoral

splendid soldier and an honest, educated |

handles it as if it were a division.

a Tree HeWn bY Bullets.

Most people have doubted the literal
accuracy of the despatch concerning the
battle of Spotsylvania, fought on the 18th
of June, which alledged that trees were
cut down under the concentrated fire of
Mimic balls We doubted the literal fact
ourselves, and would doubt it still but for
the undisputable testimoney of DR.. Chas.
MacGill, an eyewitness of the battle
The tree stood in the rear of our breast
works, at point upon which at one time
the most murderous musketry fire that ev-
er was heard of was directed. The tree
fell inside our works, and injured several
of our men. After the battle, Dr. Mac
Gill measured the trunk, and found it
twenty-five inches through, and sixty one
inches in circumference, actually hacked
through by the awful avalanche of bullets
packing against it. The foliage of the
tree was trimmed away as effectually as
though an army of locusts had swarmed
in its branches. A grasshopper could not
have lived through the pelting of that
leaden storm, and but for the fact that
our troops were protected by breastworks,
they would have been swept away to a
man.-RtchD10nd Enquirer

No Beans for Breakfast.

In the town Of Jefferson, in this State,
lives Deacon NJ, a very piops and ex-
emplary man. In his family, as in most
others in that locality, baked beans form
the more substantial part Of the breakfast
on Sunday morning. 1t came to be after
Il while that the appearance Of this time
honored luxury for the morning repast
was sort Of notice to the deacon that the
duties of the Sabbath had been entered
upon On one Sabbath morning, howev-
er, for some reason or other, this customa-
ry dish was Omitted in tie family I'M
mediately after breakfast, the deacon, as
usual, took his hoe, went into the field,
pulled off his coat, and went to work.
His wife and daughters, noticing this
from the house with great astonishment,
despatched John, the oldest son, to the
field to inquire Of his father why he work
ed on the Lords day. On drawing near,
John cried out: Father, father, what
are you doing? 1t is Sunday-it is Sun
day p SUNDAY Sunday p exclaimed
the deacon That can't be; sre did not
haze beans for trcak/dst."

a Federal Engineer in Luck.

A Washington letter says that Major
Merritt, formerly holding the position of
Engineer-in-C Chief in the U. S. gunboat
service, has fallen heir to au estate valued
at 81, 100000. 1t appears that having
resigned his position, he was rendered
another by the English government, as
constructing engineer in one of their navy
yards, at salary of el500 per annum'
His uncle, Hon. w. II, Merritt, member
of the Legislative Council of Canada, ur-
ged him very hard to accept the position
in opposition to the wishes of another un-
Gle, Charles Merritt. of Portland, Me-,
who had always taken deep interest in
his welfare.
The Major seeing then prospect of a
war with England, promptly decided a.
gainst accepting the profered position
This action, while it gave offence to his
canadian uncle, it seems, pleased his
Portland relative so we'll that he made
him his sole heir to an estate amounting
to the handsome sum Of two million and
a half dollars.

Rebel Smugglers.

Smuggling contraband goods through
the army lines is conducted with great
deal of ingenuity, and some clever lodges
are occasionally discovered. A dead
mule, belonging to Memphis citizen,
was being hauled out of the lines the 9th
er day, when a bayonet thrust revealed
the fact that the carcass contained 10000
percussion caps, quantity Of ammuni-
ton, and other contraband articles, which
some rebel sympathizer had taken this
means of smuggling.

sD- Now and then some very remark
able cases of specie boarding come to
light A Boston broker some time ago
purchased a quantity of coin, of which
the history is as follows:
The coin was purchased of an old man
who died in Barnstable County, Massa-
chusetts. He was an old resident of that
county, and lived to be ninety-four years
old. He was the owner Of the house and
land which he occupied; but it was not
supposed that he had much property be-
yond his real estate, although it was
known that he was very close and miser-
ly in his habits After his death his
premises were searched, and specie of va
rious kinds found to the amount of $780,
900. Many of the Spanish dollars were
of ancient date; but they showed by their
color and perfect stamp that they had
not circulated much since the coinage. =
The Spanish gold pieces were wrapped in
scraps of parchment, on which the value
of each was marked; aud the date indi-
Gated that they had been thus boarded
for long period. In all probability a
large part of this gold and silver had
been in his possession more than half a
century.
