Cofee.-This word Is derived from the
Arabic, kahUah Turkish, kahUe. The Eng
lish term evidently comes direct from the
Turkish. The c0Tee-plant Is native Of
Abyssinia, and not Of Arabia; for it was not
known at Mecca until 1854 only forty
years before the discovery Of America.
The true name of the plants ban Koh10ah,
or coffee, means wine as a substitute
for which the decoction was used, although
the legality Of the practice was long sub
iect Of dispute by the Mohammedan doctors.
From Arabia it spread to Egypt and Turkey,
from the last-named country was brought to
England in 1850. In sixty years time it
was famiIiarly known, at least in fashionable
society, as we find from Pope's wellknown
lines In the Rape Of the Lock ~

The DIFFERENCE BErwEES CANADA AND ENG
LAND.--while the Canadians are boiling over
with rage and demanding indemnities Of the
United States for the late Fenian raid tie
press and people Of England are thanking us
in the most cordial manner for arresting the
progress Of Fenianism. They see and realize
that had II not been for the interference
of our government Canada would long ere
this have been wrested from them. "The
American government" says the London
Times, "has acted in q manner which even
exceeds anything that could reasonably have
been expected from the most friendly nation.-
There are two very important admissions In
this eulogium on this country-that the action
Of the British government towards us during
the war has placed that government outside of
the claims Of being q friendly nation to the
United States, and also that the special inter
ference and protection Of the British provinces
by our present administration exceeded what
IL would have been If England had been our
ally during our last troubles. II Is gratifying
TO see that this action OF our authorities Is ap-
preciatcd In that country, even If they are not
in Canada. II may be that our Canadian
neighbors look upon II In n different light and
are indignant that the United States so uncere-
moniously prevented their breaking loose from
the reign Of John Bull Neither the people Of
Canada nor OF this country appear satisfied
with this result It is therefore, sort Of relief
10 know that the course of the Washington
government is approved in one country, even
IL we do have to 20 across the Atlantic 10 find
it. The London Times pretends that "these
energetic and genuine acts Of friendship will
be long and cordially remembered.r Thssa

"SoorcHED Bur Nor KnLED.r-I appears
from the statement of the Minister OF Finance
to the Canadian Parliament that the Fenian
raids cost the government one million one hum
bred thousand dollars, and that the sum of five
hundred thousand dollars, heretofore asked for
militia purposes, has been increased to the
heavy sum Of one million Eve hundred thousand
dollars In presenting his budget the Finance
"scotched, but not killed." and hence 1t was
necessary to prepare for future warlike action
on the part Of the Brotherhood. This shows
that the Canadian apprehensions about the
Fenians have not yet entirely subsidized. But
we think the Canada people can calm their
fears for the present W. do not believe the
bold Fenians will undertake to fight both the
American and the British governments. That,
of course, would be folly. Their business will,
in all probability, for some time to come, be
directed more to the value Of polls than pixies
in aid of the cause and under the familiar
cry Of "repeal" they will make the neutrality
laws test question in the coming Con-
gressional elections. Then our Canadian
friends may prepare for "scare" in earnest.

TAXATION ON WORKS OF ART.-We understand
that remonstrance has been forwarded to
Congress by the artists Of Rome and Florence
against the tax Of thirty per cent imposed by
the tariff On the statuary imported into this
country. They contend that such tax il not
only imp0litic, but that 1t il an ungenerous
return for the advantages derived BY American
sculptors from the facilities afforded them in
Italy. To the last Of these arguments We may
object that American art students obtain no
greater privileges than those Of other countries,
and that what they get they pay for. The
money spent by them In the requirement
Of knowledge Of their profession goes
to enrich and benefit the centres Of Italian
art whose interest II is to encourage the aggre-
CATION Of foreign students within their limits
This, however, is petty view to take of the
matter. The real question is whether the
benefit the revenue derives from the tax COM
pensates for the injury which it inficts on the
interests Of American art. We are bound to
say that 1t does not. Like many other imposts
In the present tariff, it is, in pecuniary sense,
Of no account whatever. It's effect Is simply
to prevent the importation Of works which
would be of vast benefit to the progress Of art
In this country, and which, II encouraged,
would do away with the necessity Of our young
sculptors going abroad. The fact that we have
no national collections Of sculpture or paint
ing, and are not likely to have any, renders it
all the more necessary that no obstacles should
be thrown in the way OF the introduction Of
foreign works. On these gfooiinds, and these
alone, we advocate remission of the duties.
They are not only impolitic but unproductive /;
and this latter fact, if there were no other to
urge in favor of the measure, would be suff-
cient to justify their abolition.

Important to Property Holders.

a decision was rendered by Judge
BIoKNELL at New Albany lately,
which may have its application to our
city. The case is stated as follows by
the Longer:
Plaintiff owned thirty feet of lot 26,
on the Northeast corner of Elm and
Upper Third Streets. Plaintiff part
of said lot fronted thirty feet on Elm
and one hundred and twenty feet on
Upper Third. An assessment was
ordered by the city in favor of Nc
Kinney and Ormond, the contractors
for the improvement of Upper Third
Street, and against plaintiff, the own
or of said one hundred and twenty
feet of lot 26, fronting on said street.
Plaintiff refused to pay the whole Of
said assessment, for the reason that
she was not the owner Of the, entire
lot. She claimed that the cost Of i'm
proving said street in front of said
lot should be shared pro rata by all
the owners. 1t will be seen by Judge
BIcKNELL's decision that such is the
law, aY
