EMPHASIS AND PUNCTUATION Writ,
ers and speakers often neglect paying due
attention to the rules of punctuation, and
placing the emphasis on the proper words !;
the consequences are frequently Iudicrou5 in
the extreme. BY way Of showing the nee
essity of attending to emphasis, We give the
following illustrations A barber in one of
our cities, to attract attention and draw GUS
tom, put over his door these words : "Wh
do you think, shave for penny and give Il
drink" When called upon; after 4 shave
for the promised drink he declined, and be,
ing reminded by the sign over the door, he
replied, "What! do you think l shave for
a penny and give a drink?' Again the
following notice read from pulpit, without
the proper pause, excited a litter among the
congregation "a husband gone to sea his
wife requests the prayers Of this congrega.
ton" We doubt, exceedingly, whether
that poor fellow received, on the ocean, tie
sympa,hies Of the married ladies in the
church.

COFFEE CRUSHED VS.. GROUND. - The
following is from the Annual of Scientific
Discovery:
It is not generally known that coffee
which hes been beaten is better than that
which has been ground. Such, however, is
the fact, and, 10 this brief article on the
subject, Saverin gives what he considers the
reason for the difference As he remarks, a
mere decoetion of green co6e is a most
insipid drink, but carbonization develops
the aroma, and an oil which is the pee
uliarity of the coffee we drink. He agrees
with other writers, that the Turks excel in
this. They employ no mills, but beat the
berry with wooden pestles in lnortars. When
long used these pestles become precious and
bring great prices. He determined, by acr
tual experiment, which of the two methoGs
was the best. He burned carefully pouI
of good Mocha, and separated it into two
equal portions. The one was passed through h
the mill, the other beaten after the Turkish
fashion in a mortar. He made coffee of
each. Taking equal weights Of each; and
pouring on an equal weigh. Of boiling water,
ahe treated them both precisely alike. lie
tasted the coffee himself, and caused other
competent judges to do so. The unanimous
opinion was that the coffee beaten in a NOR
tar was far better than that ground in a
mill.

A Row Among Lovers.

The nuptials between the Copperheads and John
son Republicans at the national capital are hardly
consummated before Weed and Raymond, of the
New York Times, alarmed at the avidity with which
the rebels and sympathizers rush forward to take
possession of the 18th of August convention, attempt
to forbid the bans. Yesterdays Times gives notice
that no rebels or copperheads will be admitted, and
that the only eligible delegates will be War Demo-
Gratis and War Republicansr The old fox and his
welltrsined disciple in the House then cody declare
that "no Democrat of the stripe Of the Daily News
or World honestly subscribe to the terms of the
call" We can imagine what commotion will be
created by the ec cotheda bull for the great Pope
of the New York Copperjohn5ons. Why, without
the rebels and copperheads the 18th Of August con-
vention would be mere hospital Of office holders
and offce-seekers And if it depended upon War
Democrats and War Republicans" nobody would be
on hand. Weed and Raymond having got them
selves into the trap after all their cunning must
abide tho issue. Their attempt TO get rid OF the
Copperheads would be cruelty to the latter if it
not SO supremely ridiculous Washington Chronicle.

The White House Conspiracy. The
Presidents Advisers.

The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
1.-THE number of calls which have appeared il
this city within few days is unprecedented. The
call of the Randallians for the Philadelphia Con
vention came first. The call of the Democrats and
Copperheads combined came next; and their united
organization is beginning to be known here the
Copper-J L. d. Campbell Randall and
Blair then issued call explaining that the first
meant that half the delegates should be from those
who supported Lincoln and johnson, and half from
those who didn't. Next came call issued from the
White House by Messrs Cooper and Patterson, and
two other Tennesseeans to the people of Tennessee
asking them to rally to the support of the Phladel
phia Convention. This exhaust8 the calls Of the dis
contented. These calls for help indicate the desper
ate character of the situation One more at least
will be issued before the campaign closes and that
will be call for the mountains and the rock to fall
on them and hide them from the just indignation Of
an outraged people.
THE PRESIDENTS HOUSEHOLD ADVISERS.
Two of these have already been mentioned, and
their record given in part. The presumption with
which Mr. Edmund Cooper, Representative elect
from Tennessee and acting Secretary to the Presi-
dent and Mr. Patterson the son-in-law Of Mr.. ohm
son. and Senator elect from Tennessee join in the
most bitter denunciation of Congress, and publicly
boast of what they doing to thwar its measures,
cannot possibly be exceeded.
1T is right that the country should know the
character Of men whom the President allows to aid
him in discharging his duties President. The
North knows ali that is embraced under the term OF
Southern fop. Mr.. Cooper is Just that; excessively
vain, conceited lacking in ability, full of strong
prejudces against the advanced sentiments of the
country, and in close sympathy with the secession
element in Tennessee. There is not an exaggera-
tion in this brief sketch
Mr.. Senator Patterson is, through his habits, ut
terly untitled for public Office It has been CUSTOM
ary to throw the veil of silence these shortcom
ings Of men in public life. But when confirmed
sot is admitted to the White House and to the
ellis of the President, and further, when such man
is constantly using the advantage which this toera
tion gives him, to break up the Union party, his
character and his conduct fair subjects Of criti
cism, and are also subjects upon which the people
have perfect right to be informed.
Last night Mr.. Cooper declared to a company
of gentlemen that if the President could possibly
prevent the assembling Of quorum in Tennessee,
he would surely do it,

The BetraYer of the Irish,

Andrew johnson first ordered the sale OF 100000
rounds of cartridges to q well-known Fenian leader.
After having obtained the money of the poor Fen
ians for his cartridges-the money coming from the
pocket-books of generous and enthusiastic people
he turned about and betrayed them to the British
government Perhaps Andrew johnson thinks that
Irshmen, like negroes, thrive best under hard
master. He thinks doubtless, like the late Rebel
Irish General Pat Cleburne, who fell at the battle
of Franklin: The Irish are not fit for liberty
They flourish best as exotics." The Republicans are
the friends Of all mankind and therefore the only
reliable friends of the Irishman. They do not love
him simply because he is an Irishman, but because
/ he Is q Dsan.-Press and Times

The Presidents Plot.

The Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati Ga
zette of the 6th makes the following startling state
ment:
There is no Disgusting the fact that some OF the
closest observers and calmest thinkers il the Union
party, are now thoroughly convinced that Mr.. John
son and those in his confidence are bent upon fore
ing the Southern Representatives elect into their
seats at the cost of revolution, if need be. The
matter has already passed beyond the province Of
speculation, and has become question for the very
gravest consideration of the nation. The deserton
Of the President, by all of the Union members Of
his Cabinet, is one evidence of this. Even the ap-
parent delay of two is entirely in accordance with
the aPpoS6On 6a mao % Tne II may oe snd 'hat ne
tinue the session. springs from the expectation of
blow of this kind from the President, rather than
from desire to save ofice-holders."
