The Oldest Voter in America.


The following extraordinary statement is
given in the Bloomington, Ind, corrcspon-
dent of the Louisville C0m1cy-JournM,
where it appears just as here printed -
''lla,ing noticed in several journals arti-
cles claiming for their various localities the
honor of having in their midst the Oldest
voter, concluded to put in the claims of
Monroe county, Indiana. Living near
Bloomington is our venerable old friend,
William Ross, who, according to his own
account and family record was born at
Guilford Court House, North Carolina, Nav
II, 1859, consequently he is one hundred
and fifteen Ql5) years old the l1th of last
May. Father Ross is in splendid health,
visits Bloomington frequently during the
pleasant weather Of summer, kills squirrels
with his rifle, chops wood, works his own
garden, and occasionally follows the plow,
and says he feels just as young as he did
a half century ago. Father Ross says he
was not in the Revolution war, but was an
eye witness of the battle of Guilford Court
House, North Carolina, and makes no
claim to having been member of the
military family of General Washington, or
of even having ever seen the General. lie
has voted for ninety-fuur years, but does
not remember how many votes he has cast
within that time, but must have been well
on two hundred times, and has invariably
voted the regular old DeWocratic ticket,
and never has failed to pay his takes. lie
is certainly the oldest man in the United
States, if no: in the world, and his longevity
is, We think, something surprising.

upon the floor 1t was shortly after Collins
returned home, that night, that he called
my attention to Bradley's house, ioolishIy

Collins died from pure terror before the

How Coffee Came to be Used.

1t is somewhat singular to trace the man
ncr in which arose the use Of the common
beverage of coffee. without which few per
sons, in amy half or wholly civilized country
in the world, now make breakfast At the
time Columbus discovered America, it had
never keen known or used. 1t only grew
in Arabia, and Upper Ethiopia. The dis
covcly of its use ;s Il beverage is ascribcd to
the superior Of Il monastery in Arabia, who,
dcsirous Of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services. made
them drink the Infusion of coffee, upon the
reports Of shepherds, who observed that
their flocks were more lively after browsing
on the fruit Of that plant. Its reputation
spread through the adjacent countries, and
in about two hundred years it had reached
Paris. a single plant, brought there in
l7il, became the parent stock of all the
French coffee plantations in the West Indies.
The Dutch introduced it into Java and the
East Indies, and the French and Spanish all
over South America and the West Indies
The extent Of the consumption now can
hardly be realized. The United States alone
annually consume it at the cost, on it, land
ing, OF from fifteen to sixteen millions of
dollars.
