Mr.. Blar-UpOn the same principle L

the thieving and robberies. of the infamous

Mr.. Edmunds-I will be more candid
than Blair, have not condensed the thieV-
ing of the carpet bag governments
as he calls them, because l do not believe
it. Laughter. l deny that the carpet
bag governments at the South are
thieving governments in the sense in which
he uses them, but l have no doubt that in
the South as in the North there are men in
office who do not administer rightly the
duties and functions intrusted to them, and
so soon as it is declared that any govern
ment in the South, or elsewhere, is not
faithful to its trust in the highest degree,
will go to the verge of the constitution with
the Senator to put it down.

Of A Cup of CoHee.

1t has been truthfully said that even
in these enlightened days.. and in the
lands most blessed by the influence Of
civilization, there are thousands upon
thousands of persons born into the
world who live long lives and then 90
down into their graves without ever
having tasted cup of good coffee,
There are many reasons for this, and
the principal one, of course, must be
thatso few persons make good coffee
And yet there have been thousands .o-
recipes and directions published which
teach US how to make good coffee by
boiling it; by not boiling it; by confin-
ing the essence and aroma; by making
it in an open vessel; by sleeping ii; by
not sleeping it; BY clearing it; by not
clearing it; by grinding it fine; by
grinding it coarse, and by many other
methods opposed to each other and to
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 afte,
it is made. And on this treatment de
pends its excellence, brew it as you
may. The rule is simple: 'aerer deea,sl
1t. Whatever else you do about it,
bring it to the table in the vessel in
which It was made. A handsome urn
orgorgeeus coffee-pot is the grave q

ed more desirable to have the Dot
.ook well than to have the coffee
taste well, we have nothing more tc

sence-laden yapor which should have
found its way into the cups on the
breakfast table. And one word about
these cups. When the coffee enters

ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
