CoFFEE.-Dr. Draper makes out very strong
case of "Coffee a Civilizing Agent He
says:
Those who have made it subject of study
and examination tell US. that when prepared as
a strong infusion, without milk, coffee acts pow
erfully on the sympathetic nervous systems and
the organs supplied by it, quckening their action
and increasing their vitality. That it renders
the contraction of the heart and other muscles
more powerful enables the body to resist cold,
moisture and the deadly poison of miasmatic dis
tricts counteractS the langor of torrid climes !;
prevents or ameliorates laxity of the kidneys and
bladder; and it is even said that calculus is not
common since it has been generally used. It
also acts with energy on the brain, removing the
sensation of fatigue and disposition to sleep,
which has always made it favorite with stu
dents. 1t obviates the effect OF the excessive in
diligence in the of wine and spirits is
antidote to opium, belladonna, and the vegeta-
BILE poisons that act on the brain and relieves
the nervous headache to which many are SUBJ
ject. In brief, it is not merely fashionable po-
tation, it is one Of the great civiizing agents
for, by increasing his power of accomplishing
brain and muscle work, it has increased the
power and influence Of man, and the unjusti6-
able and unlimited adulterations 10 which it is
subjected at present, is gross outrage against
society, which we may hope in part to correct,
by pointing ont the proper method Of selecting
and preparing coffee, and indicating the materi-
ais employed in its adulteration, and the means
by which they may be detected.

EXCAVATIONS AT HERCULANEUN TO BE RESUMED.
King Victor Emmanuel has ordered the resump-
tion of the excavations at Hercnlsueum, and an
annual grant of thirty thousand francs is added
to his civil list for this purpose. The King has
also undertaken to provide for the maintena nee
of pupil at the Archaeological school Of Pom
peii. A correspondent writes The earlies re-
searches were instituted in Herculaneum, with
what magnificent results we may see in the Ma
tional museum at Naples, or in the pages of the
Antichita di Ercolano Commenced in l767, dur.
ing the reign of Charles ILL.,, and extending to
nine folio volumes). But partly from the hard.
ness of the material in which the ruins are i'm.
bedded, and partly also from fear of endanger.
ing the foundations of the modern town of Port.
lei, the works we're discontinued and transferred
to Pompeii, where the labor is far easier and
therefore more remunerative. Pompeii, from
the circumstance that it may be almost entirely
lad bare, presents greater attraction for the
tourist, and avakens associations to which one
IS stranger At Herculaneam. But, as u set-oa
against this defect, the works Of art unearthed
here are generally of superior character, not
only because Hercuianeum was itself the seat OF
richer and more refined community, but also
because, IS Gualterio observes, in his address
delivered at the recent inaugural ceremony, the
difhculties attending the excavations at Hereu-
laneum have preserved its contents from the
depredations to which Pompeii has been sub
Jected at various periods. The manuscripts, for
instance, which have hitherto been brought to
light were almost exclusively found in Hercu-
laneum, one house alone furnishing as many as
seventeen hundred.

A SrRREr-CAR SCENE. "Lesbia," who
dishes up San Francisco gossip for q mountain
paper, describes a ludicrous scene in a street
car:
Saturday afternoon last was riding 10 one of
the Folsom street cars Directly opposite me
sat a young lady dressed in the height of fash
ion, with light-colored kids, navy hat, and dress
la Pompadour. had been in the car but a
few minutes when the young lady held up her
dainty little index finger as sign for the car to
stop. The conductor tapped the bell; the car
stopped the young lady rose from her seat !;
everybody heard something snap the young
lady Immediately sat down again, her face Grim
son red, and trembling all over like leaf
"D Did you not wish to get out, madam p asked
the polite conductor. Her answer was q shake
of the head, and the car started again. There
being only one gentleman in the car and he, Of
course was looking the other way, so the young
lady started to repair damages. After ten or
twelve minutes the index finger was again eleva-
ted. The car stopped and the fair one started
for the door. But, oh, horrors dreadful to re-
late another snap was heard, and 10 and be-
hold, on the straw-covered floor Of the car Jay
something white-a pair of hoops-duPlex EMP,

not stay to recover her lost property, but mace

Is CONSUMPTION HEREDITARY ?-Undoubtedly it
is true that public opinion considers consump-
ton hereditary, and medical experience seems to
support this view. We presume, says the At
idntie Monthly, that there is scarcely physician
anywhere who would not admit the truth of this
belief. Yet physician would dare say that,
in any given case, consumption would necessa-
rily be transmitted from parent to child. Granted
that, as a general rule, the child Of tuberculous
or consumptive parent dies early, or at the age
of puberty or young manhood or womanhood, i:
by no means follows that such is always the
fact, or that we have no means wherewith we
can contend against and fully subdue that down.
ward tendency. If we give to such children
proper food, and ftly clothe them; if we exer-
else them freely in the open air from earliest
babyhood; if, at a later period, we prevent too
much study, and will not allow them to be
closed up id abominable, furnace-heated school,
rooms now SO common throughout the land, but,
on the contrary, urge them to engage in all ath-
letic sports if, when arriving at adult age, we
caution those of tender frames against ch DOSING
sedentary employments-such clerkships, the
ministry, and the thousand other semi-literary
kinds of employment, which of themselves seem
to ceteriorate the bodily powers-but rather
lead them to the more active mechanic trades,
or farm, or sea, or business life b.; it, with a
steady, untiring purpose we do all these things,
then we may hope to crush the evil tendencies
all the rash humors" that the parent gave the
child-we may smother the seeds of consump-
tion planted before birth in the constitution and
instead of weakness give strength, md thus out
of a weak, puny childhood we may form stalwart
men and graceful and healthy women, fit to be
the future parents Of the race.

WHITE PIsE.-The San Francisco Mining and
Scientific Press says:
The shady side of this weeks White Pine his
tory, as it develops itself, may be summed up in
a growing distrust of wildcat, and in doubts of
continued very rich yields from the renowned
deposits of the district. wildcat is very inno-
cent as yet, SO little work having been done that
the evil nature of the beast has not become ap-
parent. Two hundred millions of capital stock
to several hundred of actual working miners in
our " mountain of solid silver - the weekly and
monthly bullion product as stated in another
column noted in comparison and the fact that
companies consider themselves dealing in mill
iocs when the workings are but very shallow,
and the ground nnexplored in the regular
mining sense, are facts not to be overlooked by
the excitable. Where the ore occurs in seams
or pockets and is so liable to run out, it is not
strange that there should be disposition to sell
out, with fine imaginative colorings thrown in
gratis to accompany beautifully executed stock
certificates, rather than to strike the pick at one
blow through a promising vision into hard reali-
ties and underground sterility. One rorres-
pondent H understands " that the Eberhardt is
getting poorer every day. The fact, if it prove q
fact characteristic of that region (as is quite
possible), that silver quartz does not run very
definitely in lodges, but that the laws of veins
are so modified by the Intangible and broken-up
character OF limestone as to prevent all syste-
matte pursuit Of the ore, will decide merely that
we shall have to expect White Pine to be a field
for "luck," rather than for solid work for some
little time to come, until White Piners shall
have more thoroughly learned to read the
method and manner of the distribution Of the
vein matter which is interesting to them

to speak seriously with those Who are deeply in-

years.
We might quote great deal of matter un-
favorable to White Piue, but it is generally ex-
pressed in style Of conclusion evidently prema-

A Jewish Colony In China.

The Rev. W. A. P. Martin, D. D., Professor in
the Imperial College at Pekin, recently gave
description, before the American Geographical
and Statistical Society, at their rooms in Coo
per Institute, of his visit to an ancient Jewish
| colony in the province of Honan, in China, and
also to the tomb of Confucius. The Jewish col
ony had migrated to China from India between
sixteen hundred and two thousand years ago.
Occasional stories of its existence and condition
had reached the outer world from time to time,
but for more than hundred years prior to Dr..
Martins visit no direct intelligence had been re-
ceived from it. When DR.. Martin first reached
Hopgkong be found the director OF the chief
hospital there to be of the IsraeIitish faith
and he urged him to place himself in commune
cation with this colony. The director replied
that it was impossible to do so, on account Of
the great distance intervening and the absolute
absence of any means of communication. Sub
sequenty DR.. Martin removed to Pekin consid-
erably nearer the province in which the colony
was situated and while here he determined to
make an effort to reach it, The journey was
made in n cart drawn by two mules-the COM
mon vehicle of the country-and the distance of
four huudred and seventy miles required fifteen
days for its accomplishment. On reaching the
town he was in search, he found it almost in
ruins, and presenting q doleful aspect. The
once stately temple was ruin, and at first 1t
was impossible to discover any trace Of the an
cient DeUTtW TtSlueutS Vi tue COIOuF hmOHR tue
Chinese who now inhabit the place. By diligent
inquiry, DR.. Martin at last fonnd several young
men who acknowledged themselves to be de-
scendants of the original Jewish families. They
related sad story of misfortune and decay.
The wars of the various rebellions which for the
last hundred years have broken out at intervals,
have borne heavily upon the colony. Their
crops had been destroyed, their trade cut off,
and finally the colony had become almost ami
hilated. Their last Rabbi had died some twelve
years before Dr.. Martins visit, and with him
had perished the knowledge of their native
tongue. Their temple had fallen into ruin, and
there were none to rebuild it. They still pre-
served few books of their faith, but no one
could read them, and the few remaining mem
bers of the colony were almost entirely assimia-
ted to the native population which surrounded
them. DR.. Martin described the tomb of Confu-
cius, which is situated in the province of Shan
tung, and is still regarded with the utmost rev.
erence by the entire Chinese people. He de-
scribes the three forms of religion between which
the people are divided, or rather which are com.
bined to form the faith of the Chinese people,
Buddhism, Confuciusism and Tanism all Of
which have their distinct places of worship and
officiating priests, but which the common people
almost universally combine in their creeds and
practice.

Lord Byron and hi. Daughter Ada.

We have touched already on his deep affection
for Ada. Madame Guicc;oli tells US that the
days in which he received lock of her hair or
her miniature were kept as days of solemnity
and hallowed with inexpressible sadness. Even
when in Greece, news of an illness of Ada af-
fected him so deeply that he was not able to
continue his journal. "The mother of Ada"
he would say to Nine Guiccioli, has had the
smiles of her childhood and her youth, but the
tears of her womanhood will be for me-" He
felt them springing for him warm and fast, afar,
across the dark valleys of time and through the
frozen vapors of death
Years after, Colonel Wildman, the successor
of Byron in the proprietorship of Newstead Alb
hey, met Byron's daughter in the round of Lon
don society, and invited her to come and visit
the seat of her ancestors. Sixteen months before
her death Lady Lovelace made visit to New
stead Abbey. In the great library of the Abbey
Colonel Wldman read one of the finest passages
of Byron to Byron's daughter. Touched with
the beauty of the verse, she asked scho was the
author. 1.-The author !" said Colonel Wildman.
There is his portrait" (pointing to the picture
of Byron by Phillips on the wall of the library
and be recited yet more of Byron's poetry to
her. Lady Lovelace was mute with astonish-
ment; a new revelation burst upon her. "Do
not think this is affectation," she said, " when
tell you that | have been brought up in COM
plete ignorance of all that regards my father"
From that moment passionate enthusiasm
for all that recalled the memory of Byron took
possession of her. She loved to shut herself up
for long hours in the apartments he had lived in
and which still retained much of the furniture
whch Byron had touched and used. She gave
herself up to lonely medtations on his exiled
fate and his premature end, and endeavored,
with intense yearning, out of the association of
scenes over which his memory fingered, to ex-
tract some of that tenderness of which she had
been deprived-some participation in the glory
of great existence. From that time all other
charms of lite became insipid and colorless be-
fore her.
This child of Byron was inconsolable. She
had been cruelty disinherited and robbed of the
most priceless treasure which it was in the
power of Heaven to bestow upon her-the pa
rental affection of the noblest, most generous,
truest and most loving heart which ever beat in
the bosom of man. She waned and fell so i'll
that she knew she must die and then she wrote
to Colonel Wildman letter, begging him as a
favor to let her be buried by the side of her
father. ayes, will be buried there-not where
my mother can join me, but by the side Of him
who so loved me, and whom was not taught to
love and this reunion of our bodies in the grave
shall be an emblem of the union of our spirits in
the bosom of the Eternal" Byron was more
than avenged. The father and daughter lie side
by side in the village church of Hucknall

i had q message to send her
To her whom my soul loves best,
But had my task to finish,
And she had gone to rest
To rest In the far bright heaven.
Oh % far away from here
Twas vain to speak to my darling,
For knew abe could not hear.
I gave It the lark, next morning,
And watched Il soar and soar;
Yet Its pinions grew faint and weary.
And IL nuttered to earth once more.
i cried, in my passionate longing,
Has the earth no angel FREUD
Who will carry my love the messags
Ny heart desires to send :"
Then heard q strain Of music,
30 mighty, % pare, % dear,
That my very sorrow was silent.
And my heart stood still to hear.
1t rose, Ia harmonious rushing,
OF mingle voices and strings.
And fenderly laid my message
On Music's outspread wings.
And heard it float farther and farther;
In sound more perfect than speech;
Farther than eye can follow
Farther than soul can reach;
And knew that at length my message
Had passed through the golden gate,

And am content to wait.
