Az EIoPEXEST FRUsTRArED.-Av very
considerable excitement wss created on
Market street LAST night, by the sudden
termination Of an intended elopement
The parties en- r0uH 10 West Alexander
were in hack, followed By the father Of
the would.be bride in no pleasant frame
Of mind. OveTtaking the vehicle, the dri.
yer was compelled to stop his team, one
report says, by the powerfully persuasive
argument Of revolver placed in IN.
comfortable proximity to his person. An
abrupt Decentralization followed, when
the father took charge Of his daughter and
returned home.
There were several reports Of this IN
pleasant affair coon in ejaculation. We
have given the one apparently the best
authenticated, but it may not be correct
il every particular. The prominent les.
tures-the attempted elopement and il
Illustration, We believe may be relied on.

POLICE CoUgT.-Three cases before
this court yesterday morning added one
dollar in cash to the city treasury, and
took from it, we presume ten times that
amount in the matter Of boarding those
who were sent to jsil. C. GsehliDg,
charged with being drunk on the streets,
was fined one dollar and costs, which he
paid. John Zimmerman, for committing
nuisance in the Second Ward Market
House and Richard Alexander Buffalo
Blu for disordeIly conduct, were fined
one dollar each and costs. In default Of
payment they were sent to jail ten days
each, which, at the rate charged for main.
tAining city prisoners in that institution,
will cost the city eleven or twelve dollars.

Good coffee is one of the greatest bles
sings of a breakfast or dinner. There are
many plans for making it, the best we
have ever found is as follows: First select
the variety You like in the raw grain, Mo-
cha, Java or Rio, as the taste may be, then
get coffee-roaster and roast it to rich
dark brown; then grind very fine. Now
provide flannel bag and put into it the
amount of the ground coffee you NAV de-
sire to use, from a teaspoonful to table
spoonful. as may he the desired strength.
On this pour boiling water. and let it filter
through. 1t may be poured through twice,
if extra strong coffee is desired. This is
the much admired and famous French cof-
fee. When made very strong it is called
black coffee. A great advantage of this
process is that only one cup may be made.
if desired; thus one starting on journey
in the early morn may have good and
warm cup of coffee without Interfering
with the regular morning meal.

Moral OF the EpizooiIc.

When the construction of railways
was inaugurated in America, that mode
of transit met with no little opposition;
aud among the arguments used against
it were two which are somewhat anus
ing in the light of facts and practical
experience. First, the noise of the
passing trains would brighten all the
horses out of their wits. Second, there
would be no further use for horses, and
that species of live stock would there
fore become valueless. Railways now
penetrate into every nook and corner
OF the land; the horses are not badly
scared at the appearance of their nance
stke: aud Notwithstanding the number
rFfsssss largely increased, the prices has
advanced proportionately. We pre-
sumo statistics will show that there Isl
more money invested in horse flesh in
the United States than in any other
country and there is scarcely doubt
that we have better horses fer all pur-
d. Sc than can be found elsewhere.
The horses sneeze, cough, aud in
dulge IN the luxury of bad cold, and
straightway the machinery OF com
MERGE is checked aud threatens to
come to stand STILL The horses 20
to the hospital or on the sick list, and
man stands meurnfully and powerless
ly by. If the nurses should die, as
they might, Instead of getting well as
well, as most of them do, it would be
greater calamity than can be calmly
contemplated. 4 dozen Chicago aud
Boston fires, and several South Amer
lean earthquakes, all combined, would
be nothing to it.
Let US then be duly grateful that
for the assurance that the hor:e sick
ness is not unto death; aud while sub
mntting with whatever grace is possible
to the ravages of the epidemic, let Us
be permanently impressed with the
idea that the horse is an extremely
useful and highly respectable member
of society, and hereafter see that he is
treated accordingly.
The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1872-12-14

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal, writing from Cadiz,
KY, under date of Nov. 9th, says :
"Last Friday night Aaron Hicks, a
pauper lunatic, in a fit of epilepsy,
died in our county Jail, where he had
been confined for nearly year, await
ing admittance into one of the State
asylums. The death of this poor un
fortunate man, in the still hours OF
night, in a dark and dismal dungeon.
with DO gentle hand to minister to his
wants, DO kind hearted physician to
lend his skill to avert his doom, cries
aloud to the generosity and fostering
care of the Commonwealth to make
ample provision for this class of un-
fortunate beings, and the Representa-
tives in the next Legislature of Ken

some step in this matter similar to that
