Arkansas planter. 1t seems that the
Chinainan abandoned his work and for

late All Nee's testimony from Chinese
into pigeon English. Justice Miller
listened patiently to the evidence and
dismissed the case. He gave All Nee q
written statement of his verdict, which
the latter took with him and had trans
lated by the interpreter into Chinese.
Listening attentively to the reading, he
took the paper, walked back to the

Of A Cup Of Coffee.

1t has been trutbfuly said that even in
these enlightened days, and in the lands
most blessed by the influence Of civil "a
ton, there are thousands upon thousands of
persons born into the world who live long
lives ana then 90 down into their graves
without ever having t.sted a good cup of
coffee. There are many reasons for this,
and the principle one, of course, must
be that so few persons know how t. make
good coffee. And yet there have been
thousands of recipes and directions pub
ished which teach us how to make good
coffee by boiling it: by not boiling it by
conlining the essence and aroma f; by max
ing it in an open vessel by sleeping it !;
by not sleeping by clearing it by grind
ing fine; by grinding it course, and by
many other methods opposed to
each other an | to all these. Now we do
not intend to try to tell anybody how to
make good coffee, but we just wish to say
a word about the. treatment OF the coffee
after it is made. And on this kind Of
treatment depends its excellence, brew it as
you may The rule is simple: necer de-
cant 1t. Whatever else you do about it
bring it to the ia bic in the vessel in which
it was made A handsome urn or gorge
Gus coffee-potis the grave of good coffee.
OF course, it is considered more desirable
to have the pot look well than to have the
coffee taste well, we have nothing more to
say But when hot coffee is emptied from
one vessel t. another. the kitchen ceiling
generally receives that essenc2-laden va
por which should have found its way in
to the cups on the breakfast table. And
one word about these cups. When the
coffee enters them il should find the milk
Or the cream already there. BY observ-
ing these rules, ordinary coffee, made in
any way, is often very palatable indeed

WISCONSIN 1900

So far as heard from the following
States have gone for Grant by very
large majorities: Pennsylvania 101,-
600, Massachusetts 5000, Iowa So
900, New York 10000, Ohio 10000,
Vermont $4,000, Michigan 10000,

ana 10000, Wisconsin $4,000, North

New Hampshire 1000, Connecticut
1900
In our own county the vote has been
very close, and it is very difficult at
this timeto make any sure calculation,
but we have certainly gained consider
able, having elected member Of Con
gress, Senator, Sheriff, Register Of
Deeds, Clerk Of the Court, Surveyor,
Coroner and Member of Assembly from
the Southern District. We have not
much reason to complain, though the
result is not what we might have rea-
sonably expected. In Dodgeville there
was heavy vote polled, and every
thing was done by both parties to elect
their candidates. The fight was a hard
one, and every inch was contested.
Our victory in the Union is re-
markable success, and it is not i'm
probable that Grant will have IA larger
majority than he had last election.
The people have said once more that
"the Union must and shall be pre-
served"
When we take into consideration the
efforts that have been made to break
up our glorious government, tear down
our flag and trample it under the feet
of Ku Klux Klaus and traitors, we
cannot but rejoice at the magnificent
results of the Republican party. The
American people are evidently not
ready to throw away the great and glo
rious privileges which they now enjoy
under Republican form Of govern
mcnt; and the best test that we have
of the purity Of the officers, and the
honesty of our Government, is the
voice Of the people as uttered from ey-
cry voting precinct in the land.
