In another column we publish an

there are many "good point" abouta sys-

gone and past, and which gives pretty fair
satisfaction now. 1t has its defects, Of
course, but most Of the defects arise
from the looseness with which the jury

the war broke out, and had he remained
truo 10 the Union it is possible that he
might have been elected to the Vice
Presidency in place Of Andrew Johnson.
Young, noble hearted, brilliant, and
already vastly honored for one Of his
years, be might have taken a stand which
must have placed him far higher in the
affections and esteem Of the American

TABLE MANNERS.

The table is the place whore the
family meet, and there should be the
freest and most unrestrained inter
course. We cat to live but the more
animal necessity is lifted up and glori-
fed when the charms of pleasant con-
versation and of mutual courtesy sur
rounded the custom. So far as the
sustaining of life is concerned, that OBJ
ject may be reached if each took his
bread and retired to closet to eat il
alone. But there is a spiritual life that
is to be fed and sustained, and it is
starved where there is no grace, not
only before, but during meal.
The great trouble with our American
life is that it is too gloomy. We take
no time to entertain and amuse each
other, Not seldom does il happen in
some houses that meal progresses in
dead silence, except when it is neces-
sary to speak about the dishes, or TO
help some one to potatoes or pie This
is almost as bad as rudeness or quar-
reling There ought to be bright,
sparkling talk in which the children
should be allowed to join. There is no
sense, whatever, in compelling on intel
ligcnt child TO sit like deaf mute at
the table I; though, on tho other hand.
children should not monopolize the
conversation, nor be allowed to ask
strings of irrevelent questions. Each
one should prepare for IT by some
simple process of dressing. The hair
should be smooth, the hands washed,
the general appearance of each should
try TO be as agreeable as possible TO
each other It'll quite wonderful how
little refreshing OF the toilet freshens
up the soul as well as the face. So far
we all ought to be luxurious. If the
mother sees TO il, that her school-boy
sons always come TO dinner with clean
hands and nails, and that her daugh.
ters never dwadlc into tawdry fnery
or soiled wrappers, she will do more
than she dreams Of in the work of
making them grow into real gentlemen
and ladies.
The table itself ought to have fes.
tive look. Flowers have special
grace on the breakfast board. A dish
of fruit nicely arranged, pleases the
eye as well as the palate at dinner.
Clean linen, even though coarse, and
whole plates and cups, with bright
glass and silver, help the appetite along.
A few well cooked dishes, nicely
served, will promote health and happi-
ness better than great variety ruined
in the preparation.
Some housekeepcrs, with an eye to
saving trouble on washing day, have
adopted the marble oil cloth, instead
of the white damask for ordinary use.
For our part we would prefer economy
in almost any other way. A fine white
table cloth, or buff or crimson one
occasionally for breakfast or tea, will
furnish the family feast much more
beautifnllv

ABOUT COFFEE.


Coffee, as it appears in commerce,
the seed of u small evergreen tire,
Indigenous TO Southern A Abysinia an
Liberia ,occuryinga narrow belt prob,
bly,, across the continent of Africa.
belongs TO the natural order cinoh
nac@, the same order from which qui
nine is derived, 1t is often seen in GU
hot-houscs il is n small shrub witt
dark green foliage. The seeds, if fresh
readily gcrminate; and in q suitabl,
climate the plant commences to bcal
in three years, and continues bearing
during twenty years or more. Ther,
is one main crop during the year, but
there are flowers and ripe fruit ever OF
the tree like most other tropica
dicotyledonous fruits.
The ripe fruit resembles cherry in
size and color, but containing two seeds
instead Of one. The seeds are imbed
ded in pulp, which, at particular
time, is edible. II allowed to remain
on the tree the pulp dries up. 1t Is
asserted that the coffee is improved by
allowing the pulp TO remain on the
seed till perfectly dry. The dry en-
velop is then removed by machinery
and the chat famed out.
The character of the seed is much
affected by climate and soil. Dry,
billy lands are said to produce the
finest coffee. The grains are smaller,
harder and more highly aromatic
when roasted.
Brazil is the greatest producer of
coffee. That known in the trade as
Rio is Brazilian coffee. OF the 7l3.-
100000 pounds produced by the world,
per annum, Brazil furnishes 400, 600.
900, or more than half of the whole !;
Java, 100000, 600; Ceylon, 10000, 900 |;
st. Domingo, 40,OOO,OOO; Cuba and
Porto Rico, 25,0O0,0OO Venezuela.
25,000,000 Sumatra, %, ,000.0 900; ali
others, including Mocha, $4,000, 900.
The United States is the greatest
consumer. We use in the United
States nearly one-third Of all the coffee
consumed In the world, using nearly
seven times as much as Great Britain,
with a population not very far from
the same. Germany comes next
Russia, the largest and most populous,
the least.
The effect of coffee as a beverage, is
variously estimated by diffent indi.
viduals. This we should expect from
the varying character of the material
But the physiological effects
are not in doubt. 1t operates in two
very distinct operations. First, by
stimulating the nervous and vascular
tissues. This is experienced by every
one after taking cup of good coffee.
The system is invigorated and the
sensibilities are more acute. Second,
Il retards the transformation Of the
tissues into lower chemical
compounds. This has been proved by
Lehmen, by direct experiment By
this operation the coffee acts as an
equivalent for meatproducing food, IL
i does not actually produce IT, 1t
'aves the powers of the body, 1t does
not create them. 1t is like the oil on
machinery, it is a preservcr of force,

IA TT'ENING HOGSON GRAPES.

A California paper suggests rather
novel way of disposing OF the surplus
fruit of the California vineyards; still
IL may be q good one and worthy of
attention elsewhere;
A practical farmer--a man Of over
twenty years experience in the corn
regions of the West, and about the
same in California-gave us the other
day his candid opinion that good, sweet,
well ripcned mission grapes fed to hogs
would make as much pork, pound for
pound, as corn. Donbting on our part
led TO investigation into the theory of
lat and flesh production, and though
still unwilling to believe that hundred
pounds of grapes will make twenty
pounds of pork-abeut what corn will
do when properly ied-we cannot but
admit that they may prove very profit
able for feeding and as this gentleman
informs us that his hogs will leave bar
Icy or wheat TO eat grapes, we would
recommend those parties who, because
wine making has not been success
with them, and their common grapes
are not the things for raisins, have
meditatcd roofing out their vines, to
try this mode Of disposing of their
crop. An acre of vines, when they
are fiveyears old, will bear, say ten thou
sand pounds Of grapes. lfwcplace their
pork-prodcuing capacity at one-half
that ofcorn, we have thousand pounds
of pork made from an acre of those
condemned vines, worth, as prices go
here in Grass valley, from eighty TO
one hundred dollars. Anacre of grapes
can be raised and picked, after once
the vines are in good bearing condition,
for less than an acre Of corn can, and
yet an Illinois or Missouri farmer will
raise three or four acres Of corn and
feed il TO his hogs TO make thousand
pounds of pork, and when made pay
freight to Grass valley, and sell the pork
to be cut up and made bacon Of for the
very men who have those uon-paying
vineyards.
