How Coffee Game to be Used.

The manner in which coffee came
to be used as a common beverage, is
somewhat singular. At the time Col
umbus discovered Amirica, it had new
err been known or used. 1t only grew
in Arabia and upper Ethiopia. The
discovery of its use as a beverage is
inscribed to the superior of a monas-
terry in Arabia, who, DESTROYS of pre-
venting the monks from sleeping at
their nocturnal services made then
drink the infusion of coffee, upon
the report of sheperds, who observed
that their fccks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of the plant
Its reputation spread though the ad-
jacent countries. and in about two hun
dred years it had reached Paris, A
single plant brought there in I774,
became the parent stock of all the
French coffee plantations in the West
indies. TIL Dutch introduced it into
Java and the East Indies, ard the
French and Spanish all over South
America an d the, West Indies. The
extent of the consumption can now
hardly be realized. The United States
alo ne annually consume it at the cost,
on its landing, cf from fifteen to six
teen million of dollars. &

Sfrang @ CaEe-A Sick Man
Appoints the Moment of his
Death and Dies ON lime.

4 few days since the folio wing cir
eumstance occurred in this county, as
We learn from a person who was pres
emit on the melancholy occasion : A
physician was called to see a noble
young man in his sickness. He ex-
amined the case care fully, felt of the
pulse, which appeared strong and al
most healthy, -pronoun ced the case
hopeful, and after prescribing was about
to depart. The patient requested the
doctor to remain, with the remark that
he should be dead in just ten minutes
The doctor, supposing it to be only a
within of the imagination, thought it
best not to heed it and left without de-
lay, with a remark that he was sure he
would soon be better. As soon as be
left, the young man firmly and in about
his usual voice told a gentleman present
to look at his watch, and note the time,
for in just ten minutes from the time
he spoke he should be dead. The
friend wishing ike the physician, to
turn his attention from the subject,
paid NO attention to it. but performed
some other slight attention: After
about FIVE minutes more had clip sed,
the sick man again spoke to his FREUD :
"why did you not look at your watch?
Five minutes have passed. 1 have
only five minutes more to live" The
friend then looked at his watch and
noted the time. Iu just fvo minutes
the patient was dead - Gaena (IH)

- A COMPLIMENT-GREAf
OVATION ?-We have been told that
there were brave men before Aga
memnon; and the sentimentifindeed
modern in its utterance, .'that none
but the brave deserve the fair,' had
a home in the human heart ages
ago. In the glorious days of old
Greece, when the Spartan mother
gave her son his shield and sent
him forth to battle, with the heroic
Injunction to come home "with it
ORION it." there was outspoken that
appreciation of chivalric daring
that in all after ages has sought to-
Irvine the laurel chaplet around the
warriors brow. 70 go
Our own countrymen, and coun-
try-women have been as prompt to
render to valor its due need as those
of any age, or nation. The "pro-
gress," Is they styled tin old En-
glish times, of our gallant and sue
cessful officers through the country,
has been the occasion of great
and jubilant demonstrations. We
are free to say that these outgushing
evidences of popular esteem and dis
tinguished regard have in no in
stance been more truly deserved or
gratefully given than in the swell
come home,'' rendered on Monday
last, to our gallant and esteemed
young friend, Capt. M. B. DE SHoNG,
of this place. -aRI gf
1t is true that the information that
the gallant Captain would arrive
at home on the 10 o'clock train was
not made public until a late hour in
the morning but the "boysin blue

We regret that before we reached

become SO great and dense that we
we were unable to get near enough

deserved honors.. -. I'm q =
The vast crowd formed into pro

amid the soul-stirring notes of "See

think this was the finest we ever

ject upon which the Portland (Maine) Press
comments as follows:
A balloon which rose in st. Louis landed
on the St. Lawrence river. A balloon which
rises high on the Atlantic sea coast goes to
sea. vessel about leaving the Atlantic
sea coast and expecting storm telegraphs
to the South and West to ascertain if one is
coming. A storm that was in New York
yesterday is in Maine to-day and in Nova
Scotia tomorrow.
Why do all these movements in the air
point easterly? Because the whole bulk of
the air one or two miles above the surface
of the earth in this latitude is moving cas-
terly, and always moves easterly. No bal
or storm can thrust its head into that over
whelming current without following its
course. The easterly and other surface
winds which enter the storm supply it with
moisture, and, rising up high in its centre,
furnish the sail by which the great upper
current watts it to the east always, and not
from the east as often supposed.
The air which rises at the equator and
flows north is the great current referred to.
This warm air is replaced by the cool air OF
the north which flows south, equalizing the
of the earth. A storm on the
equator moves westerly. In the southern
and middle States northerly, and in this lat
itude easterly, always with the flow of the
upper current. The telegraphic reports of a
storm in the middle and western States to-
iav notifies us, if the storm continues, what
we are to expect on tomorrow or next day,
'or it will come through at the variable rate
Of the flow of the upper current.
