.u.. LONDON May 6-Eyenino
The great reform meeting, which has been in
concentration for some time, took place in
HYDE park in this city, to-day. As was ev-
pected, there was a vast crowd in attendance
though but few speakers. There were no riot,
Gus demonstrations whatever and the services
of the police were not required. Not one of
the extra policemen who had been sworn in for
this occasion was present. The meeting was
of very short duration, and the multitude dis
persed without disorder
Ihe Morning Post, in an editorial to-day, ex-
presses the opinion that the Government will
not execute the sentence of death recently
passed on the condemned Fenians, Burke and
Doran. II

Tempt to put down the meeting, but all the
troops in London and vicinity were under
arms, and large force of police were con-
cealed in secluded part of the Park, and We
hicles were kept ready to convey them to any
point in case of a riot. Fifteen separate meet
ings were organized, at one of which a woman
spoke in favor of female suffrage. One stand
was devoted 10 religious speeches. The most
revolutionary sentiments uttered by the speak
ers were loudly checred by the crowd The re
formers advocated order and practically carried
out that idea by driving off the trees in the
Park crowds of roughs who had perched in
their branches. The entire press denounce the
course of the Government. The Tories treat
the meetings as mob victory, while the Re
formers claim them as splendid popular tri-
umphs. The bitterest feeling exists on both
sides, and all London is intensely excited
Some of the meetings are still in progress and
will continue until late hour. -

/ give the following, from a lady CORES

and hope some of our lady friends will

and report to rs the results:
The making of good coffee is a rar,
thing in this country ; most persons bOi
it, thus making decocti0n instead of al
infusion; this effectually gets rid Of tn,
delicate and agreeable aromatic flavor
and leaves a comparatively tasteles,
beverage. The following particulars will
be found worth attention
Never buy your coffee ground, but
grind it yourself, Immediately before
using it; keep your coffee pot, whatever
kind you may use, wiped clean and
dry inside; 81 damp tea or coffeepot
acquires q musty flavor that spoils
the best tea or coffee. The cheapest. and
perhaps the best coffeepots are those
made on the French plan, called cafe.

adopt the following plan: Put vour
freshly ground coffee into the -eofFaenot
previously made warm, and pour upon it
water actually boiling; set the pot by
the fire for a few seconds, but do not let it
boil up; then pour cupful out and return
IL bscklagain to the pot 10 order TO clear
it, having done this, let it stand on the
hob or center to settle, and in less than
five minutes a Transparent, strong, aro
matte cup OF coffee may be poured out
The proportions Of coffee, (which should
not be too finely ground), recommended
are an ounce to pint or a pint and a
half of water.
The milk used with Scoffee should al
ways be boiled and used as hot as posi-
