The Coffee Speculation.

It is at length fully proven, just as we
had expected, that the remarkable rise in
the price of coffee, in the face of the aboli-
ton of the American tariff on the article,
was the result of q vast speculative combi-
nation, having it's centre in Rotterdam,
Antwerp and Hamburg. The most elabor-
ate and ingenious calculations were circu-
lated, alleging short crops, deficient stocks,
and increased consumption. This is usual
in all such cases, but the only basis gener-
ally is'the same as in this coffee movement
pure speculation. In 1870 the price of
coffee in the cities named was 60 to 20 GEN.
times per kilo., and from this it rose i'll
1872 to Sc centimes, and in last February
to 1.45 Fl. This speculation enlisted lead
ing merchants, and went ON until these
merchants have lost e22o, 900, and find
themselves stranded, with 800,0 bags of
coffee at Antwerp and more to arrive. What
the situation must be at other centres Of the
coffee trade may be easily conjectured. AS
these operations extended to the cities of
Holland, England and America, as well as
those of Germany and Belgium, prices have
been kept up and stocks firmly retained,
apparently by concert of action, for some
purpose of forcing the restoration of the
American tariff on coffee, which would have
enabled the holders to unload to advantage.
But the effect of the price has been to re-
duce largely the consumption of coffee in
Europe, and SO render the operations Of the
spectators more difficnlt. 1t has produced
no visible effect in restoring the tariff on
coffee, though the late Secretary of the
Treasury advocated the policy of doing so.
One effect of the long-cotinued high prices
is large increase in the Brazilian coffee
crop. This generally happens in such cases,
high prices always stimulating cultivation.

an oath taken by a Burlnan in court. Our
readers viii be interested in reading 1T:
I" / will speak the truth. If | speak not
the truth, may it be in the influence of the
laws of ofdemerit-passion, anger, folly, pride
false opinion, immodesty, hard heartedness
and skepticism--so that when l and my
relations are ON land, land-animals-as ii
gers, elephants, bnffaloes, poisonous SER
pents, scorpions-small size, crush and
bite us, so that we shall certainly die.
Let the calamities occasioned by fire, wa
ter, rulers, thieves and enemies depress and
destroy us till we perish and come to utter
destruction. Let MS be subject to all ca
lamities of the body, may we be seized with
madness, dumbness, blindness, deafness,
leprosy and hydrophobia. May we be
struck with the thunderbolts and lightning
and come to sudden death. In the midst
of not speaking the truth may be taken
with vomiting clotted black blood, and snd-
denly die before the assembling people.
When am going by water, may the water
spirits assault me, the boat be upset and
my property lost; and may alligators, pur-
poises, sharks and other sca-monsters seize
and crush me to death. and when chtngc
worlds, may not arrive among angels or
men, but suffer unmixetl punishment and
regret, in the utmost wretchedncss, among
the four states of punishment, He'll, Prota,

The Centennial Plans.

The Philadelphia Press says: The Gen.
tengial Board of Finance acted wisely in
awarding the contract for the erection of
the Centennial buildings to Mr.. X. j. Dob
bins. Mr.. DobbIns is an experienced build
er, and, apart from his individual wealth,
he offered the amplest and best security for
the faithful performance of his contract.
The exact terms of the contract and condi-
tions of the work are not generally known.
The Board of Finance has approved the
plan of Mr.. w. II. Petit, for the temporary
or main exhibition building, and now all
that is required is the sanction of Mr..
Goshorn, the Director General, which will
not, we are assured, be withheld. This
plan provides for five pavillions. Four of
them will be 100 feet. The fifth or centre
will be 100 by 120 feet. From these pavil-
ions will be three walks. The middle one
will be 1870 feet wide and 600 feet long. The
other two will be each 100 feet wide and
600 feet long. The whole building will
cover eighteen acres, and be ! ,6sS feet long
and AGA feet wide. This building MIR. Dob
bins has contracted to erect for $l,076, OOO,
and to complete by the 1stof January, 1876.
The plan for the permanent or Memorial
Building adopted by the Board of Finance
is that of Mr.. ii. j. Schwarzman, well
mount Park. This provides for a granite
building in the modern renaissance style.
1t will be 365 feet long, 210 feet wide, and
fifty-nine feet high, surmounted by acupola
1873 high. Mr. Dobbins, it is said, offers to
build both buildings for about so, SOC, 900,
which leaves fully $500, 900 to be applied to
the extension Of the Memorial Building,
the amount appropriated by the State and
city for the purpose being that much in
excess of the bid of the contractor. It is
to be completed by the 1st Of March 1876:
From these facts our readers can judge OF
the condition and prospects of the Centen-
NAL enterprise. The first was never better
nor the second more favorable. With the
sums subscribed by individuals, and appro-
priated by the State and city, the Board OF
Finance has more than enough money
available to perfect the present plans, and
to make extensive additions to them. And
with every shovelful of dirt excavated, and
brick laid, and iron pillar placed in position,
popular interest in and enthusiasm for the
work must increase.

Monkeys in Ladies' Ears.
From the Continental Herald, Geneva.

From the Continental Herald, Geneva.
There is ona item of the present style of
fashion which must notice, writes a Paris
correspondent and that is, the extraordi-
nary mania that now exists of wearing ear
rings that represent animals and imple-
ments. Thus, you see pending from la
dies ear, monkeys, guinea pigs lizards,
chandeliers, Will, candles in them, bird
cages, filed with birds; tortoises. turtles,
shovels, tongs, and who knows what.
Gold stirrups in the cars arc also very pop
ular, and if the lady's husband be q soldier
she wears his .ssworda and ssepaulettes" "
i'm her ears. This is not pretty, and no
fashion can make it so. The French who
just pride themselves on their taste, say
that these eccentricities come from 'soyer
the seas" To you they will say that the
Americans introduced them into Paris; to
Americans, however, they say it was the
English. It may be anyone, in fact, but
the French. For my own part, can con-
fidently aver that it was neither Americans
nor English who first wore such atrocities.
The new style Of head d-dress for ladies re-
sembles slightly pig-tail. It is an English
innovation, and remember having seen it
two years ago, when on afiying trip to Lon
don. All the hair is tied at the top of the
head, and then it is either turned loosely
back or it is plated, but in either case it
falls on the neck, and the ends are tied to-
gether with c0lored ribbon. etembroid-
cry has become quite furore. One sees wo-
men clad from head to foot in black, and
yet so dazzling from the quantity of jet
beads they carry that one can scarcely look
at them without winkinQ.
