return It back again to the pot In order to
clear it; having done this let it stand on the
hob or centre to settle, and in less than five
minutes transparent, strong aromatic cup
of coffee may be poured out. The proportions
of coffee (which should not be too finely
ground) recommended are an ounce to pint
and half of water.
The milk used with coffee should always be
boiled and used as hot as possible; the boiling
of milk imparts peculiar and exceedingly
pleasant flavor Of the coffee. White sugar IS
recommended, as the molasses like flavor OF
moist sugar quite overpowers the delicate
aroma.

POETRY.
Earth's Waiting.
BY j. G. WHITTIER.

Unkissed of the sunshine, unbaptized of showers,
With buds scarcely swelled which would bust into
flowers,
We wait for thy coming, sweet wind of the SOUTH
For the touch of thy light wings, the kiss of thy
mouth,
For the yearly evangel thou dearest from God
Resurrection and life to the graves Of the sod!
o, rose Of the springime! its light and its BREATH
Bring warmth to this GOODNESS, bring life to this
death;
Renew the great miracle let us behold
Inc stone rom the mouth of the sepulcher rolled,
Let our faith, which in darkness and GOODNESS has
lain,
Revive with the warmth and the brightness again;
And in blooming of flower and budding of tree
The symbols and types of our destiny see;
The lie of the springtime, the life of the WHOLE
And as sun to the sleeping earth, love to the SOUL

Ralph Waldo Emerson, 10 his new
book published this week, says ''if a
man has not firm nerves and has keen
sensibility, il is, perhaps, wise econo-
my to go to shop aud dress himself
irreproachably. He can then dismiss
all care from his mind and may easily
find that performance an addition of
confidence, fortfication that turns the
scale in social encounters and allows
him to go gaily into conversation where
else he had been dry and embarrassed.
| am not ignorant have heard with
admiring submission the experience of
the lady who declared chat the sense
of being perfectly well dressed gives a
feeling of inward tranquility which re-
ligion is powerless to bestow."

NfouIfon Sues Eeecr,er

NEw YoRK, Dec. 23.-Mr. Frank
Moulton yesterday instituted; through
bis counsel, General Roger A. Pryor, a
civil suit 10 the supreme court Of Brook
lyn for $4,000 damages against Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. The papers
were served on Mr., Beecher personally
at his residence last evening by clerk
Of General Pryor's. The complaint sets
forth fhe cause Of action rs malicious
posecution Of Mr.. Moulton by Mr..
Beecher.. Che specification being hat
on October Sd, 1874, he procured Sir.
Moultop's indictment on charge Of
criminal libel, and pressed the suit SO
far as to have him arrested aud held to
bail. Mr.. Winslow was then district
attorney, and was succeeded by Mr..
Britten. Further, the specification
shows that on October %, 1875, Mr..
Brtiton, being then district attorney,
eutered noIle prosiqui, against the ex-
pressed wish of Mr.. Moulton. 1t is
stated that only single question will
be at Issue IN the coming suit THIS
will be the truth or falsity of Moulton' s
allegation that Beecber had committed
adultery with Mrs. Tilton.
For the determination of this ques-
ton Mrs. Tilton will be a vital witnegs
and will certainly be called, as well as
a number OF others whose testimany
was excluded on the great trial. On
the other hand. The question of Mrs.
Tilton,s character not being ia any Wav
at issue, the testimony Of large num-
Der Of tbe witnesses produced at the
Tilton- Beecher trial will not be compe-
tent. The trial will therefore be brief
one, aud it is anticipated that it will not
occupy over two weeks time. The
case will be tried ia the Supreme Court
Of Brooklyn probably within two months,
or, at all events, by the early part Of
March,

What that Handsome Park.
erSgpUrg Woman Did.

Talk about women having no
voice in politics. There was Fan
ny Lear, alias the Phoenix, alias
Miss Blackford, the beautiful but
bad daughter Of The American
clergyman, who went TO Russia,
.erned the head of the nobility
and became the mistress of the
nephew OF the Car. Haviog had
quarrel with her imperial lover
she comes 10 Paris and publishes
his love letters TO he, in which he
speaks of the Suez canal "the road
which our soldiers will some day
follow, 10 take India from the En-
e'ish.' All Europe reaos Miss
Blackford's book and among the
rest Mr.. Disreli, Premier of Great
b titan. He reads the above SEN
fence of the Russian Prince, works
one eye, says "aha,' and straight
way sends man down to buy
Egypt's canal shares from the Khe-
dive. Russia is foIestalled France
furious, England jIbilant, all on
account of The beautiful American
and her book. Is there moral in
all This or not?

DisagreeaDIe Habits.

Nearly all the disagreeable habits
which people take up, come at first
from mere accident or want of thought.
They might easily be dropped, but they
are persisted in until they become sec
ond mature. Stop and think before you
allow yourself to form them.
There are disagreeabe habits of boys,
like scowliug, wiaking, twisting the
mouth, biting the nails, continually
picking at something, twirling key
or fnmbing at chain drumming with
the fingers, screwing and twisting a
chair, or what ever you lay your hand
on. Don't do any of these things.
Learn to sit quietly like a-gentleman
| was going % say, but ' am afraid
even girls fall into such tricks some
times. There are much worse habits
than these, to DC sure, but we are speak
ing only of those little things that are
only annoying when they are persisted
in.
There are habits of speech, also, such
as beginning every speech with "you
sec" or "you know" "now a,""I don't
care" "tell We now )" indistinct utter
ance, sharp, nasal tones; avoid them
all. Stop and think what you are
going to say, and then let every word
drop from your lips just as perfect as a
new silver coin. Have care about
your way Of sitting and standing and
walking. Before you know if you will
find that your habits have hardened
into coat of mail that you cannot get
rid of without terrible effort.-Little
Corporal.

he cordially supported the reconstruc-

late and not yet free slave; had he
helped to pass the "force bill" and the

week two detectives from this city have
been on the track of an individual sup
posed to be Tweed, who passed through
parishes below Quebec, evidently bound
for Halifax. The detectives are quite
certain, from information gained by
them on the road, that the party whose
trail they were on is the veritable Boss,
They were obliged to give up the chase
and return to town in consequence of
their funds giving out.

he obeyed the order issued to him in the
name ofthe President of the United States.
All the force of the enemy's fire is now
turned feroely upon Mesark Packard and
Beckwith. We do not learn what the last
named gentleman has done to incur the
wrath of the friends and apologists of the
Baton Rouge law breakers, nor what Mr..
Packard has done which he could have
safely left undone. He is the marshal of
this district, whose duty it is to execute
all warrants placed in his hands. He has
not shrunk from this duty, and those who
assume that every accused Democrat is
innocent, or should be exempt from pun
ishment even if guilty, have ceased their
war on the Baton Rouge officials, and
turned upon the ministers of the law.
Mr.. Packard, who is particularly marked
out as target for the shafts of malice, is
a gentleman of unexceptionable charac-
ter, against whose integrity not even his
bitterest official and political enemies
have ever uttered disparaging sentence.
No person in New Orleans ever held to
higher position socially and personally
than the faithful officer whose disagreeable
duty it is to put the strong hand of the
law upon those who have apparently en-
tirely forgotten their duties as citizens Of
this State.
The upshot of the first act in this drama
is that the alleged offenders are sent home
amid the plaudits of prejudiced popu-
lace, amid the popping of champagne
corks and the flying of colors, to be met
at home with grand reception by people
tarred by the same political stick, while
all and singular those who invoke, as we'll
as those who are required to administer
the law, are turned over to unmerited
scorn and indignation. The ten prison.
ers are enbalmed in the affections Of their
aiders and abettors, while the complaining
witness, the district attorney. the mar
shall, and even the President, who proba-
bly, has not even yet heard of the affair,
are placed in the prisoners box and pelted
with abusive language. We are aware
that every position, however high,
subjects its occupant to disagree
able consequences, bu: it is carry
ing partisan warfare beyond all
reasonable bounds when the guilty are
thus canonized and the ministers Of the
Law unjustly traduced. We use the term
guilty parties solely with reference to
the parties who are making all the fuss,
since the only thing that commends the
prisoners to their sympathy is the belief
in their guilt and the only thing they
hate in Messrs. Packard and Beckwith is
their supposed power to punish. In their
case personal character does not weigh
. feather in the scale against sectional and
political bigotry. And this conduct is
expected to pass for that of enlightened,
chivalric, Christian, civilized people,
