The Discovery Of Coffee.

Towards the middle of the fifteenth
century, poor Arab was travelling
through Abyssina, and; finding. him.
self weak and weary from fatigue, he
stopped near grove. Then, he be.
ing in want of fuel to cook his rice,
he cut down a tree which happened
to be covered with dead berries, His
meal being cooked and eaten, tho
traveller discovered the half-burned
berries were very fragrant. He COLI
lected number Of these. and On
crushing them with stone, he found
that their aroma increased to a great
extent. While wondering at this, he
accidentally let fall the substance in
a can which contained his scanty sup
ply of water. Lo. what a miracleI
The almost putrid liquid was instantly
purified. He brought it to his lips;
it was fresh, agreeable; and, in q mo.
ment after, the traveller had so far
recovered his strength and energy a.
to be able to resume his journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as many berries
as he could, and having arrived at
Arden, in Arabia, he informed the
mutt of his discovery. That worthy
divine was an inveterate opium-smoker
who had been suffering for years from
the influence Of that poisonous drug.
He tried an infusion of the roasted
berries, and was SO delighted at the
recovery of his own vigor that, in graf
itude to the tree, he called it cahnah.
which in Arabic signifies force. And
that is the way in which coffee was
discovered.

A PUP WITH A PARAsoL.-Queer

ion, who wore a round blank velvet
cap, coquetishly placed on one side Of
his curly head. In his mouth he car.
led basket, to the handle of which
small ecru silk parasol had been
adroitly attached in such a manner
that in carrying the basket the dog
held the parasol over his head, and
SO shaded himself from tho rays Of tho
sun. It is impossible to describe the
gravity and aplom6 of his dogship.
nor the immense amusement of the
street boys and the passers-by at this
novel spectacle.

The sunstroke term has opened, and
if the heat continues the chances are
in favor of a very brilliant season.
The causes of the attacks, in addition
to the high temperature,are overwork,
taking too much cold water and too
much whiskey straight. The correct
thing to do when a gentleman is taken
with sunstroke is to move him to some
cool place and pour bucketfuls of cold
water over his head. But perhaps
this year the doctors have discovered
a new treatment and now consider the
cold-water cure "murderous."

A Faithful Wife.

Years ago, in the days OF the old
State banks, a mechanic named Bryer-
ton moved from New York ont into
Ohio. He had been his own master of
transportation in the removal of his
goods, and when he found himself set
tied i'll his new home, he had on his
hands pair OF strong horses for which
he had no use, and he sold them to q
stock trader named Slater, receiving pay
IN five ami ten dollar bills of an Indiana
bank. few days later Bry yerton offered
this money in ayment of q lot of land,
when 1T proved to be counterfeit. He
was arrested, and offered in defense
that ho had received the bills from the
stock trader, and supposed them to be
genuine; but Slater, when called upon
to testify, swore positively and with
solemn earnestness that he had never
before seen those bills. He had paid the
accused for his horses in bills of Ken
tucky bank with which he was in the
habit of doing business.
Those were times when a vast amount
OF counterfeit money was in circulation;
when business confidence was becoming
sadly weak and demoralized; and when
1t was deemed necessary that punish
ment for crime should not only be wifi,
but sure; SO Bryerton was sentenced to
the penltentiary, the tears md. entreat-
les OF his wife, and his own solemn
pleading, failing to move his judges.
Mrs. Bryerton visited her husband in
Jail, and having received from him the
direct and emphatic avowal of his ipno-
cence, she set herself at the work of
rescue, determined not to rest until she
bad conquered. She hung upon the
horse dealers track, seeking for evidence
that ho was a counterfeiter. For two
long years she worked, thinking never
of failing or shrinking, and at length
success crowned her efforts. In New
York State, close upon the Canada line,
Slater was taken sick. The faithful
wife told her story to the physician in
charge. The physician, anxious to help
in the righteous work, gave to his pa
tlent treatment that brought him to
point of sickness not to be long borne.
He was frightened, and the dreadful
sinking of every atom of life made him
weak and childish. Under the careful
manipulations of the man of medicine,
and the spiritual guidance of preacher,
he made full confession of all his sins
all he could remember. H. had been
for many years connected with band of
counterfeiters. it having been his part to
put the base money in circulation.
Furnished with the confession of the
real culprit, and accompanied by an
officer who was able and willing to give
his time, the jubilant wife returned to
her home, where her husband was very
soon restored to her. It was hard-the
unjust imprisonment and the two years
of incarceration-but a generous public
did all they could to make amends.

Romance OF War.

A subscription has just been raised at
Bougival in France Tor the purpose of
erecting monument to Francis Deber-
que, gardener of that commune, who
was shot by the Prussians on the twenty
sixth of September, 1870. Some days
after Paris had closed her gates the
Forty Sixth regiment of Prussian in
fantry took up its quarters at Bougival,
and the colonel's first care was naturally
enough to establish telcgraphic commu-
nication with Versailles. Day after day,
however, the wires wore found to have
been cut by an invisible enemy. Sus-
plcion lighted on Debergde, who at
once acknowledged himself the author
OF the mischief. He had done it "be
cause the Prussians were his enemies,
and he was Frenchman." "Would he
do it again ?" asked the.president of the
court martial before which Debereue
was summoned, to which the poor fel.
low replied that he certainly should.
He was condemned to death, and it was
In vain that the inhabitants of Boupiyal
collected q sum of 10000 francs, and
offered it to the Prussian commander as
the ransom of Debergue's life. Deber-
que himself entreated his friends to
make no effort on his behalf. "If he
were released he should cut the wires
again tomorrow" The German officer
who commanded the platoon at the exc
cution seemed much affected, and was
heard several times to mutter the word
"patriotisme with Teutonic accent.
Such IS the tale or legend, for one can
never forget that the genius of great
people may be inventive; and many

An Old Mans Weary Chase.

The case of the State vs. James Mo
Geehee, alias James Collins, alias J. n.
Hancock, was up before the county
court at Jonesboro'. The prisoner was
found guilty and sentenced to twelve
months in the chain gang.
The facts are briefly these: Collins
went from Georgia out to Cherokee
county, Alabama, and stopped with an
old man there who had young wife and
three children. Collins remained there
eight months, during which time an at
tachment sprung up between the wife
and Collins.
They eloped, took the old mans
money, and left him the three children
to support. Collins went to Mississippi,
place to place under various names, and
finally settled in Clayton, three or four
miles from Jonesboro'. The old man
went in pursuit of the fugitives. He
had nothing to guide him but the pho
tograph OF Collins. For two long, weary
years he went on horseback from place
to place, now and then getting some
faint tr ces of them. He finally traced
them to Georgia, and he travelled from
town to town showing Collins picture,
but could hear nothing of his where
abouts. Wearied, tired, worn out and
exhausted, for he is now over sixty years
old, he showed Collins picture in Jones'
boro', and found that he lived near.
He had Collins arrested, sent the
woman to see her children, and prose-
cuted Collins with the above result. On
the trial the old man. with tears in his
eye, said he might live with Mary yet.
