OF A CUP OF CoFFEE.-It has been
, 'tiuthfuliy said that even in these en-
lightened 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 go down to their
graves without ever having tasted
good cup of coffee. There are many
reacons for this, and the principal one,
of course, must be that so few persons
know how to make good coffee. And
yet there have been thousands of re-
ceipts and directions published that
teach us how to make good coffee by
boiling it; by not boiling it ; by confin-
ing the essence of aroma; by making
it in an open vessel; by sleeping it by
not stepping it; by clearing it; by
grinding it fine; by grinding it coarse,
and by many other methods opposed to
each other and to all these. Now we
do not intend to try to tell anybody
how to make good coffee, but we just
wish to say word about the treatment
of the coffee after it is made. And on
this treatment depends its excellence,
brew it as you may. The rule is sim.
pie: necer decant IL. Whatever else
you do about it, bring it to the table in
the vessel in which it was made. A
handsome prn or gorgeous coffee. pot is
the grave OF good coffee. OF course, If
ii 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 into another, the kitch.
en- ceiling generally receives that ess.
ence-laden vapor which should have
found its way into the cups on the
breakfast table. And one word about
these cups. When the coffee enters
them it should find the milk or cream
already there. By observing these
rules, ordinary coffee, made in almost
any way, is often very palatable in-
deed.-,Scri6ner for October.

King Fanfanero, busy with affairs of
state, sat among his fairy lords, with a
face as grave as the face of any mortal
judge, when in flew a SHOWS storm of
elves (if one might say SOL all as pale
as elves may grow when fairy queen
sighs.
"Oh, please, royal MASTER" they said
Tor sang), sinking down at his feet, "the
Lady Bandette sent US hither to be.
seech you to visit your loveliest of
queens, before the roses die away from
her cheeks and all her attendant elves
break their hearts with grief, because
of her sighing."
Up rose gallant King Fanfanero, as
swiftly as ball of thistle. down on, 1
beg his royal pardon for comparing him
to anything so common, but you know
the commonest things are often the
most beautiful So up rose the king,
and left his lords to wrangle among
themselves, as to the color of their man.

the value of their rubies and sapphir es
that is what is meant by affairs of
state) while he swept on to the throne
room, trailing his satin robes through
the air, as if he had been a golden.
vested, purple'plumed butterfly, with
too many wings.
The queen stood up on the topmost
stair OF the throne, her eyes wide open
with eagerness, and all her curls afioat
in tangling wind that had caught it,.
self in that golden network of hair,
and was in hurry to be free again.
Just one tear lay upon the rose-pink of
her round little face but there was a
smile creeping about the lips, and a
dimple darting into either cheek, to
find out where the bushes came from,
as l guess.
Oh, she would never have been a queen
that fairy For look you a queen
should be tall and grand, with a calm,
pale face, and slow step and she
should be too wise and stupid to laugh,
or cry or sigh and the very wind
should be afraid OF her, and never ven-
ture to rufie a single curl. By the way,
she shouldn't have curls, but very dark
braids, wound around her head, with
q blazing crown set on the top of them,
all of gold and jewels, and looking like
marigold in the dew.
But / cannot help all that take
people as find them. Lady Gentelin
had been a queen ever since King Ben
doyere had gone to rule over the Pick
ies-busy little mountain fairies, who
had caverns and caverns full ofjewels I;
and that was three days ago by the
fairy clock, only 1t seemed three years
to her.

DEATH OF TIMOTHY DABNEY.--Tim-
othy Dabney, the colored boy who was so
desperately wounded by gun in the hands
of Henry jackson, at the Academy of Mu-
sic, yesterday morning, and subsequently
taken to the Medical Hospital, died last
night from the shock occasioned by the
wound. As we stated yesterday the bones
of the right leg just above the ankle were
shattered in the most shocking manner and
the flesh literally torn to shreds by the
charge from the gun, which was composed
Of tacks, screws, nail-heads, &c. 1t
was the intention of the physicians in
charge to amputate the leg just below the
knee, as the only hope for life, had the pa
tent rallied sufficiently from the first shock
to permit the operation. But he did not,
and died in great agony last night. DR..
aylor made post mortem examination
this morning of the wounds inflicted, and
found several of the missiles embedded in
the flesh of the left leg. DR.. Taylor held an
inquest at 81 o'clock this afternoon, but
had not concluded when we went to press.
The impression prevails that the shooting
was wholly unitentionall and without de-
sign on the part of Henry jackson.

Washington, September 1.-THE De-

from Geneva, but declines to make their
contents known in advance of the formal
announcement of the Board of Arbltrators.
There is reason to believe from other
sources that the amount awarded is about
fifteen million dollars, though there are no
official advices positively fixing this sum.
The President OH the Situation.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE President is
reported as saying that since the Maine
election he is more than ever satisfied with
the political situation. He also expressed
his sa ABSTRACTION with the results, as far as
known, of the Arbitration at Geneva-not
so much on account of the pecuniary lca
ture as the settlement of the principles in
volved, and their adjustment by represen-
tatives Of foreign governments and our own
in the interest of peace.

conducted according to justice and law,
free from bias or prejudice on the part Of
the distinguished gentlemen assembled at
Geneva.
The Government had from time TO time
been advised Of the progress of the Arbi-
tration, but the newspapers contain more

state the amount of the award, as this with
him, as with the Department of State, is

confidence, and will not be known until the
tribunal itself shall make the declaration,
but it is believed from another source the
award will be about $lG,000,000. The
Government does not know The exact
amount, some additional points having yet
to be arranged.
