well as member elect of the Forty fourth

necticut, during the same time, has lost two
senators, Buckingham and Ferry, and one
member of congress, James L. Strong, who
died before taking his seat. The Forty

two senator's, Andrew johnson and Orris

vice-presdent and five representatives,
Samuel F. Hersey of Maine, Burlington
of Massachusetts, George A. La Dow OF
Oregon, Augustus F. Allen of New York,

Not less remarkable has been the mortal

years since Greeley's death, the only TIVE
ex-presidents of the United States, ther
living, have deceased-Millard Fillmore
March 8, 1878, and Andrew johnson; and
in this connection may be noted the fact Of
the death, within that period, of both th,
father and father-in-law of Presiden
Grant. Since the presidential election %
three years ago, four vice-presidents hav'
been numbered among the dead, Fillmore
Johnson and Wilson already alluded to

THE TAX ON COFFEE.

1t Is understood that the secretary of the
treasury will again recommend the REIN
position of the tax on coffee, and, In this
connection, the recent report of the minis
ter of the United States to Brazil, is Of in
terest,as showing the probable effect there
of on consumers. The report, among other
things, gives, in tabular form, the quantity
of coffee exported from that country since
1850. 1t appears that, from 1850 to 1867,
the export to the United States and Eu-
rope was about the same, being, on an av-
cage, some one and quarter millions of
dollars year from 1857 to 1860, the ex-
ports to this country were much larger
than those to Europe but, during the
years of our civil war, while our imports
decreased some two-thirds In amount, those
of Europe remained about as they were in
the years before, showing, not a decrease
in production, for that remained about the
same, but that Brazil had large surplus
for which 1t could find no market. After
the close of the war, our imports rapidly
returned to aud exceeded the old amounts
and during the past five years we have i'm
ported half a million of dollare more in
value than has Europe.
He brings to light a curious fact, per
haps well known to dealers, that our wal
tax, so to speak, on coffee, was felt more
severely in Brazil than in this country
While we paid only small additional sun
per pound for coffee, the trade there wa.
paralyzed. The dealer looked for tota
cessation of coffee expectation to this coun
try, panic ensued and coffee became
drug In market. The United States de
mand regulating the price there, hardly
any one could be found to invest or specu
late in 1t and the result was great suffering
among both producers and dealers. When
however, the tax was removed, they mad,
up for their losses. Contrary to the ex
pectation in this country, as we all know
the removal of the tax did not lower the
price to consumers, but neither did it en-
price in Brazil. The news of the abolition
of the tax in Brazil was the signal for al
immediate combination between dealers ant
producers, and coffee commanded heav
Ter price than before, forcing merchants II
purchase at the enhanced prices, our con
sumers to pay as much as ever, while on
government was tout" millions of dollar
in revenue. That return to the tax will
result as it did before, we do not antici
pate, but we doubt very much whether
will enhance the price either to consume
or American dealers or importers.

The commission to examine the reports
of the surveys for ship canal across the
isihmus of Darien report in favor of the
Nicaragua route, as decidedly the most
feasible, being the only route where the
climate is not dangerous to health, and
where proper supply of water could be
found. The total distance from Grewtown
across is about 1871 miles the cost would
be 1855, 722, 147. The commission believes
the investment would yield large return,
and thinks that to allow foreign power
to build this canal and we pay tolls to
them for Its use, is thing which the peo-
pie of this country will not tolerate.

Two white roses are her feet.
Over yielding carpets, they

When their mistress takes the air,
They recline on cushions fair.
CoachMen, liycried, deft of hand,
High-bred horses stepping grand,
Goid-laced feotman. solemn, still,
Serve their most capricious will.
They know neither work nor toll;
Neither know they dust nor soil.
Soft patricians, dainty feet,
Never made to walk the street.
Pretty useless tile things,
Life to Them no hardship brings.
Life means one long pleasant quest,
For their Lady's happiness.
Selfish, they know nothing of,
Mersy's self forgctfut love,
Proud they never know the way,
Where grim want and horror stray,
fearful, they can never go sd.
To.the haunts of sin and woe.
Careless, if their life be fair,
They he ed no ones life of care.
All the world might beg and starve,
They will but their mistress serve.
Thus with unselfshnes unshod,
They will .ose their way to God

Strangely out of place to see,
In a carriage would they be,
In the eyes Of God, Away
Fair and beautiful are they,
For they know no rest nor pause,
In he masters holy cause.
They are servants of soul.
Having heaven for its goal.
Thus they never idly shirk
Heavens evangelizing work,
They would meet mems scornful gaze,
Should they try the dances maize,
But admiring angels view,
All the holy deeds they do,
Is there some one suffering,
And comfort will they bring,
Some one, lost and helpless, they
Lovingly will show the way,
Never any time for rest,
While some soul remains un lest,
Looking only past the grave,
For the rest they sometimes crave,
Thus with many blessing shod,
They will find their way to God.
