THE POWER OF Assoo1ATroN-A Rat Story
There is living in this city at the present time
man of fine education, long passed the meridian Of
lie, who has seen better days, whose fine sensi-
bilities have been mellowed rather than blnnted
by the adverse circumstances through which hehas
passed and who makes It his special duty to place
a large bowl of fresh wafer every evening
at the time of dusk in his room for the express
benefit of the rats that live in his imme-
date precincts. He then compacenty places
himself in an old armchair and silently enjoys the
scene before him. one little animal after
another appears at his feet shaking its paFched
throat, Ii his own words, he contemplates them
with indescrbable pleasure as they sip their drink
and look up into bis face with an expr, ssion of
gratitude' What an enigma life is, to be sures
| Here is a man who for many days scarcely finds
means to provide for one substantial meal. Too
proud to make his necessities known to a cold un-
charitable world, he struggles on; yet in the no.
bity of his humanity he provides for the wants of
the rat, an animal which all creation naturally
oa hes. Sterne, in all his fine conceptions of
humanity, does not present anything superior to
this picture.

RAFT STUCK-Ltke,oise the Rattsne1.-Not
long since, large raft stucku on a sand bar a
few miles above 0quawka, and after every usual
effort had failed, the crew were ordered to pre-
pare to get into the water, waist deep and crowd
it off. They had been paid off but a day or two
preceding and what to do with their greenbacks
was no inconsiderabe question. The cook was a
I" good fellow" who knew how to boil ham or
roast jayhawked turkey to perfection, and with
his usual accommodating spirit he offered to take
care of the money, and keep it from '' gittin -
mixed up. To him the money was consigned,
amounting in the aggregate to $1,000, but, unfortu-
nateiy, while the boys were tumbling into the
water like so many mermen, his hat was caught
by sudden gust of wind, and blown far out into
the water. Launching boat, the accommodating
cook pursued it, but when it was reached, he sped
straight down the river, and redoubed his activity.
In a few moments the terrible thought dawned
upon the minds of the victimized raftsmen that
their $1,000 swiftly sailing to that bourne from
which no travellers return. They shouted threat
eningly, and swore roundly, but their anger aTaied
them not. The cook kept resolutely on and was
soon out of sight. party of them then con-
structed float, and padded down to 0quawka for
information in regard to the flight Of the bold
robber. Their only comfort was that he had pur-
chased excellent pair of boots there some four
hours before and had not been seen since.

THE AUTHORSHIP OF JUNIUs.-Among the many
singular revelations made during the recent trial
of the royal scandal case in London, is one which,
if it be true, clears up the long disputed point as
to the authorship of the letters of Junus. They
were written by DR.. Wilmot. HIS grand. daughter
asserts, to obtain redress from George ILL.,. who,
wrthing under their sharp lash, was induced to
sign certain certificates tesitying to the marrage
of Olive Wilmot and the birth of her child. The
youthful Olive made the discovery accldentiy;
whensh was but fourteen years old. She CHANGED
to take from her erandfather's library some loose
sheets of old manuscript to scrbble and draw
upon, and they were found to be some OF the let
ters of Junina.

CoFFEE.-Baron Liebig says: The real favor of
coffee is little known to most persons that many
who drank of my coffee for the first time doubted
of its goodness because it tasted of the berries.
coffee, however, which has not the flavor Of the
berry, is no coffee, but an artificial beverage, for
which many other things may be substituted at
pleasure. Hence it comes that if to the deeOCtiOn
made from roasted chicory, carrots or beet root,
the slightest quantity of coffee be added. few per-
sons detect the difference. This accounts for the
great diffusion of each such substitute. dark
mixture with an empyreumatical taste, most peo-
pie fancy to be coffee. For tea there are no sub
stitutes for everybody knows what real tea is
like. For special cases. such as journeys and
marches, where it is impossible to be burdened
with the necessary machines for roasting and
grinding, coffee may be carried in q powdered
form, aud its aromatic properties preserved by
the following process: One pound of the roasted
berries are reduced to powder and Immediately
wetted with syrup of sugar, obtained by pour
ing on three ounces of sugar two ounces of water,
and letting them stand few minutes. When the
powder is thoroughly wetted with the syrup, two
ounces Of tinely-powdered sugar are to be added,
mixed well with it, and the whole is then spread
out in the air to dry. The sugar locks up the vo-
lathe parts of the coffee, so that when it is dry
they cannot escape. If coffee is now to be made,
cold water is to be poured over certain quantity
of the powder and made to boil. Ground coffee
prepared in this way and Whichlay exposed to the
air for one month, yielded on being boiled as
good beverage as one made of freshly roasted

MOre Revelations.

A day or two ago we copied dispatch from
the Chicago Republican, stating that Gov.
Wells "was organizing the militia, ,irrespec-
tive Of color, to guard the State House.
This dispatch was dated on the 29th uIt.-the
day before the meeting of the so-called con-
yenhon. AS corroborative of this statement,
We find the following in a letter in the New
York Times, dated New Orleans, July 24th
The white population of the State is organized
as militia force, and the governor has promised
to authorize a similar organization of the freed
men, separate from the whites. If this is done in
time, which is not probable, it will not be strange
if some blood is spilled.
The same correspondent furnishes the fol-
lowing revelations Of the secret history of the
late insQrrectionary movement:
The history Of this call is the strangest part Of
the whole business. Judge Darel, the president,
at first favored the project and conferred with the
governor in the premises. That Omceri however,
with his usual fckleness, succeeded ia discour
aging Judge Durel, and postponed the matter IN
til a heavy outside pressure was brought to bear
On him, and he has since abandoned the idea
Added to the governors procLamatlon, vas re-
markabe lack Of consistency on the part of some
of the radical members Of Congress. Judge
Durel telegraphed to some Of the most prominent
Of them asking them whether they would
sustain the convention; but received no re-
ply. An informal caucus was then held in
this city, at which between forty and fifty
Of the members Of the body Of 1864 were present.
Under the instigation OF King Cutler and other
extreme radicals they passed resolution censuring
Durel for bis refusal to reCOnVukG them, and
elected Judge Howell president pro tenn. order
ing him to issue call, which he did, and imme-
didtely thereafter left for Washington for the pur-
pose Of conterring with Banks, Stevens and sum
ner. or others of the radical stripe. That a body
ll q n
convention, has the authority to reconveue, is ap,
parent but it is unfortunate for its friends that
the call is so informal. Judge Howell. at one time
withdrew from the body, but afterward rein
stated, and now acting merely as an officer pro
ten,. is the mOuthpiece of the organization from
| which he attempted to resign.

Poiteness- Cheap. Holders unwilling to dis
pose Of stock at present rates.

rally aduterated. Very few investments.
Loye-None offered-exeept for greenbaeks.

Death of DIR. A. p. DnstIe and Rev. Mr..
Horton.
DR.. Dostie died at the Hotel Dieu last evening,
between five and six O'Clock, of the wounds here
ceived in the riot at Mechanics Institute on MoA
day. A few hours before, he took some medi-
cine, prescribed by his attending physician, and
then seemed cheerful. About one hour preceding
his demise, however, he became insensibie, and
remained in that condition up to the moment of
his death. He was one of few men who brought
about lamentable state of affairs in the com
munity, but he had an earnestness and courage,
which received from his opponents certain kind
of respect not given to equally or more dangerous
men to the public peace, whose frequent changes
of opinion and prudence in avoiding personal
consequences, provoke suspicious that their poll
tics are tentative, and are abandoned and changed
when found improbable or unsafe, while their
dupes are left to the fate better merited by the
crafty knayes who tole them on.
We also learn that the Rev. Mr.. Horton, who
opened the conventionmeeting on Monday last
with prayer, also died yesterday aftern oon Of
wounds received in the riot.
Mr.. John Henderson, Jr. we likewise heard
yesterday was in a dying condition. The most
excusable man concerned in the conspiracy, as a
leader, was Mr. Henderson, for his mind has been
ia an unsound state many years.
