ROASTED COFFEE.

If there is any luxury more generally APP
preciated than another, it is GOOD COFFEE.
Few persons can roast coffee well, and to
meet this want Messrs Bell Conrad & Co.,
Chicago, have imported and roasted a coffee
called
ANK0RIA
which is the nearest approach to Java OF
any heretofore offered to consumers. II is
not glazed, is brittle and will grind easily.

II he holds back or refuses compliance with

come to light. In any event, the truth
cannot be much longer concealed, since the

chat the money which he asked To make
good an alleged short appropriation for
naval pay in the first session of the last Con-
gress, and which was voted him to the cx-
tent of n million and n half of dollars, was
diverted and misapplicd during the ten days
he held over under HAYES. What became of
this money does not appear on the public
books II Is certain the officers never re-
ceIvcd the deficiency pay. On its face the
transaction is n fraud, daringy contrived to
get large appropriation for special Oh
jcct which elected sympathy. and then to
seize the money FOR another purpose never
contemplated at all and directly in defiance
of law. This was RoBEsoN's last chance be-
fore going into dishonorcd retirement. and

Our brilliant contemporary seems offended
by Mr. SAMUEL BowLEss suggestion that any

purchase Of the Horh should apply ia Penn

publicity to Mr.. BowLrs's suggestion II unfor-
tunatoly did not occur 10 us how embarrassing
II might be for our contemporary TO be told by
that person that the knowledge and consent Of
Park row was not an Indispensable feature in u

THE DRUMMEns' COMPLAINT.

Ehere IL considerable complaint on the part Of
the drummers Of Northern houses over the i'm.
position upon them by the city Of license tax Of
800, and the hotel keepers report . notable
scarcity OF these itinerant statesmen for this
season of the year. Il IL reported that quite =
number Of these persons are In Mobile, and re-.
fuse TO come on here, under the impressi ion
that the full sum Of 800, which ID yearly license
will be exaeted and the proprietors Of our hotels
are In receipt OF letters from Northern and
Western firms, inquiring il their agents will be
subjected to this tax. IL may be ne well to COR
rect the false impression abroad on this subject.
The license for one year IL 500, but liceppe
for elk months at $50, or three months at Gas,
may be taken out. Surely IL will not be con.
tented that commercisl travellers and persons
selling by samples should be entirely exem pted
from the payment Of any tax whatever, while
our local trsdesmen are oil required to take out
licenses before they are allowed to transact busi-
ness. This tax IL imposed on all, even the
smallest retail tradesmen, while as q rule these
travellers sell entirely for large whoe-
sale establishments, and their transactions are OF
> much larger snd more profitable character
then, the license imposed il
small one, aud should not be complained Of Al
least 90 argue the city authorities.

FT. CHAHIEs THEATRE.--The Calender Minis
trels continue to attract very well in
deed, notwithstanding that the programme
with which they began their successful
season has not yet been changed. As soon ~ we
are informed Of the faet we will announce new
programme,
On Sunday next the Berger Family will begin
short engagement at this theatre prior TO their
departure for Havana.
This family 0f talented musicians are already
known in New Orb ans, but we notice several
new names In the combination who will, we have
reason TO h0pes prove as acceptable TO our peos
pie as the old favorites did. We have the
plessantsst recgllsetions Of Anna Berger, whose
performances on the s0rnet have won the praise
and admiration Of all g0nnoisseurs and artists.
This lady alone will be al, attraction.
Among the new e9mers are Jeppe and Fannie
Delano. musicians and comedians, OF whoh much
good is said, Jeppe having the reputation ol
being humorist Of the most refined character.
10 sum up, we anticipate, at least, an entertain
ment OF ehaste character, and such one as
