OF Interegt to OoFee-prinkers.


A late number of the New York Even
ing Post contains a long q carefully
written article on the coffee crop abroad
and the probably advance in the price
of the stimulating berry. From the
article we learn that the crop of this
year viii probably be inadequate to
supply the constantly increasing de-
mand, the supplies on hand being
smaller than they. have been, in this
month, for years before. The crop in
Brazil is much better than it was at first
reported to be; but planters there made
so much from the sale of last years
crop that they have evinced an inten-
ton of holding back the supplies this
year, and waiting for an advance. in
price.
From the same article we learn that
the consumption of coffee in this coun
try has largely increased since 1869.
During the first six months of the
present year the distribution for con-
sumption at the six ports of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mo
bile, and New Orleans, was n, 43s tons.
Observation has shown that Rio coffee
is actually preferred by the working
classes on account of its stronger and
more pungent taste, their palates fail
ing to detect the delicate flavor of Java
or Mocha
In conclusion the article say:
'on one point all importers and large
dealers in coffee agree, and that is the
deleterious character of almost all adul-
terations. Pure ground coffee can very
rarely be purchased, and the compost
-tions sold under that name are generally
injurious to health. If it is necessary
to economic in this direction, the gen.
uine should be bought in the berry, in
lesser quantities. - AZ hsRsR

Every consunner ef food n ths land
ought to unite in movement to compel
by law the sale of vegetables, fruits.
-andneaIyeEery edible article, now sold
by measures, by weight. There ought to
be no abandonment of the effort until
the result is accomplished. 1t is the
only honest way of buying and selling.
The sRindling praeticed now upon those
who buy fruits, especially by measure,
is something horrible to contemplate,
in giewof the possibility--of future pun
ishment. The boxes In which fruits are
sent are all sizes and shapes They are
filed IN all sorts Of ways. Gases Of the
same number Of boxes, rom dihsrent
producers, viii differ from three to six
pounds in weight of fruit, though the
quality thereof may be the same. The
family Who buys nom one consignment
gets more from the money paid than
those who buy from another the pro-
dueer who is most honest gets least. A
premium is thus paid for deception, to
call it by no worse name; and the worst
of It is, the consumer, IN nine out of
ten instances, does not know that he has
been cheated.
Apple and pear barrels are as varied
in size as clover leaves. A man who
buys barrel Of apples does not know
whether he is getting two or three
bushels. Few people stop to think
about it. There is no law fixing the
standard of barrel Of apples or other
fruit that we know of. If a producer
is honest enough to send his apples in
barrels containing two bushels and a
half to three bushels, there are plenty
of dealers dishonest enough to transfer
them to barrels that centaiR=but two
bushels; and a barrel Of apples is a
barrel Of apples, no matter what size.
Either there should be standard fixed,
OF the fruit should be sold by weight. f

TIE BASIS OF INTELLECTUAL GREAT
EEss.-There is great deal of intellec-

result that is appleciable, and which
therefore requires, addition to
patience and humility, one of the no

the tolls in which men engage, none are
nobler In their origin of their aim than
those by which they endeaver to be-
come more wise. Prayi observe that,
whenever the desire for greater wisdom
is earnest enough TO sustain men In
these high endeavors, there must be
both humility and faith-the humility
which acknowledges present insufie-
iency, the faith that relies upon the
mysterious laws which govern our in
tellectual being. Be sure that there has
been great moral strength in all who
have come to intellectual greatness.
During some brief moments of insight
the mist has rolled away, and they have
beheld, like a celestial city, the home
of their highest aspirations; but the
cloud has gathered round them again,
and still in the gloom they have gone
steadily forward, stumbling often, yet
maintaining their unconquerable reso-
luton. 1t is to this sublime persistence
of the intellectual in other ages that the
world owes the treasures which they
won it is by like persistence that we
may hope to hand them down. arRumen-
ted, to the future. Their intellectual
purposes did not weaken their moral ma
ture, but exercised and exalted it.

THE NEXT IoUsE.-The Lower House
in the late Congress contained 1872 Re-
publicans, 100 Democrats and Liberals.
In the next Congress it will have 1876 Re-
publicans, 50 Democrats and 3 Liberals,
In the latter list two Republicans and one
Democrat are counted as chosen in the re-
cent New Hampshire election, and four
members, forming the Connecticut delega-
ton, are omitted, rs they are yet to be
elected. The Republicans will thus have
nearly 200 votes in the House against less
than 100 in opposition. A heavier re-
sponsibility than ever will, therefore, be
thrown on the shoulders of the large Re-
publican majority in the next Congress
the result of which, it is gratifying to be-
lieve, will be honest, wise aud beneficial
legislation.

The Wives OF Presidents.

Mrs. Washington, upon whom fell the
honor first, occupied the euvied place for
eight years, and her history is probably
better known than any OF her descendants.
Biographers and historians, stimulated
with desire to secure her memory from
the dust Of years, nave been interchangeable
in their labors, and she is perhaps more
highly venerated than any ot the women
who have succeeded her.
TO Mrs. Adams properly belongs The
highest place OF honor in the American
heart, because her position was more diff
cult, her duties more arduous, and because
she was stronger mentally and more thor
oughly disciplined than any who have sue
ceeded her. She became the occupant ufa
place held to be most sacred because OF its
newness. and the exalted character Of both
Washington and his wife. To succeed the
former was difficult task for her husband
to perform; to occupy Mrs. Washington's
place was an impossbility. But Mrs.
Adams was gifted with great strength and
courage, with rare powers of mind and
heart, and was the best type of American
woman of that class whose lite-history has
been handed down to us.
Mrs. Jefferson had been dead nineteen
years before her husband became Presi-
dent Of the United States, but for the occa-
sional visits of his two married daughters,
and the frequent presence of Mrs. Madi-
son, at the White House, during the eight
years of Thomas Jetierson's stay, would
have been entirely without a social history.
James Madison's wife was the most pop
tilar woman of her day, and had it not been
for the unfortunate war of 1872, and the
disturbed condition of the country both be-
fore and after this event, her aduiinistra-
tion as lady of the White House would
have been the most brilliant Of any record
country.
Mrs. Monroe was d tlmld; delicate wo
man, untitled by nature and habit for the
place she held, and at the expiration o
