were quite severe. The influences brought to
bear upon the market were of an unfavorable ten

weaker markets, and this caused an increased
desire to sell for future delivery, and az buyers
in view OF these quotations were only willing to
make moderate purchases the market ruled
weak. 1t was not until considerable of de-
cline had been established that buyers could be
induced to take hold with freedom. and then the

ishing the four-story building in which the
store was situated, aud burying large number
Of people in the ruins. Six dead bodies have
teen taken from the ruins and it is believed
that others will be found. A large number OF
people were also injured. Various theories are
advanced as to the nature and cause OF the ex-
plosion, the chief one being that gas gem
orator in the cellar exploded. 1t IL also stated
that nitro-glycerne was stored in the building,
as no other substance could have caused such
instantaneous destruction.

the most destructive fire it ever had, which de-
stroyed nearly forty buildings, including a

This is the season of religious anniversaries.
Judging by the number recently in session in
all parts of the country one would think the
Americans very religious people. Neverthe-
less the criminal record does not seem to dimin-
ish very perceptibly. More missionary work at
home is evidently greatly needed.
Decoration Day was generally observed

Company refuses to allow any of the postal

definitely announce his views on the third-term
question. In a letter addressed TO Gen. Harry
White, President Of the Pennsylvania Conven-
ton, Gen. Grant states that he was not willing
ly a candidate either for first or for second
term. The reason given for not sooner answer
ing the assertions regarding his third-term can
didacy il, that heretofore the question has never
been presented in such form that he could,
without seeming undignifed, notice it. Now,
however, the reason no longer exists, aud he
accepts the earliest occasion for u reply. In
closing his letter he says: Il am not, nor have

Owing to the dissensions among the con-
servatives in the French Assembly, the Repub-
licans have been permitted to choose majority
OF the new Committee Of Thirty, which is to
have full sway after the adjournment of the

Coffee.

Java coffee has large, full, yellow
berry. That of the Rio is smaller and
of greenish tinge. The difference in
essential properties is derived from the
difference in climate, that of Java retain
ing the bean to ripen more perfectly than
it is left to do in Brazil, where it is raised
chiefly by unskilled slave labor. The
best coffee for family use is made by
mixing the two-Jsva affords the most
fragrance, and Rio the most stimulation
against chillness and damp. Very much
depends upon the parching of coffee.
This should be done slowly at first to
expel all the moisture, and rapidly at
last, stirring it constantly, so that it will
be Drowned, and not burned in the
least. When it has an oily appearance,
and is of light brown color, it should
be removed at once from the fire and put
in close vessel. There are a great
many coffee pots; but for family use we
have never found anything better than
good block-tin pot, and the white of an
egg to cleanse the beverage.
