TWILIGHT ON THE BEACH

The crimson glory of the setting sun
Hath lain a moment on the oceans breast
Till twilight shadows, gathering one by one.
Bring US the tidings, day is gone to rest
Far cut upon the waters, like 3 veil,
The mists of evening rise and stretch away
Between the horizon and distant sail,
And earth and sea are clothed in sOmbre gray.
The tide comes higher up the smooth white beach,
Singing the song it has for ages sung;
Recedes, and carries far as the eye can reach
The freight my idle hands have seaWard flung.
Over the white capped waves the sea-gulls soar,
With heavy tapping wing and restless cry,
As darkness spreads its deeper mantle o er
The changing shadows of the twilight sky.
No voice but mine to mingle with the sound
OF oceans melody, as one by
The stars light up the vast concaYe around
And live the glory that is neUeT done.
Still higher creeps the tide with subtle power,
And still the waves advance with sullen roar,
But with the last faint CLEAN of twilight hour
turn me homeward from the lonely shore.

ON a Coffee Plantation

ga Trip to Central America" ."-scribner.
Coffee culture is very interesting, and
the growing crop is very beautiful. The
trees at maturity are from five to eight
feet high; they are well shaped and
bushy, with glossy dark-green foliage,
and planted eight or nine feet apart. The
flowers are in clusters at the root of the
leaves, and are small, but pure white, and
very fragrant. The fruit has a rich col
or, and resembles small cherry or cram
berry; it grows in clusters, close to the
branches, and when it becomes a deep
red is ripe and ready to be gathered. The
trees are raised from seed, and do not be-
gin to yield until the third year. In Cen
tral America they bear well for twelve or
fifteen years, although, in exceptional
cases, trees twenty years old will yield an
abundance of fruit. The tree is particu-
larly beautiful when in full bloom or
when ladened with ripe fruit.
The process of preparing coffee for
market is as follows: the ripe berries
when picked are at first put through a
machine called the EEdespulpador," /" which
removes the pulp; the coffee grains, of
which there are two in each berry, are
still covered with sort of glutinous sub
stance which adheres to the bean; they
are now spread out on large ''patios, .
made especially for this purpose, and left
there, being occasionally tossed and turn
ed over with wooden shovels until they
are perfectly dry. They are then gath
cred up and put into the "retrilla,'' cir
cular trough sin which a heavy wooden
wheel, shod with steel, is made to revolve
so as to thoroughly break the husk with
out crushing the bean. The chaff is sep
arated from the grain by means of fan
ning-mill. and the coffee is now thorough
ly dry and clean. After this, it is th,
custom of some planters to have it sprea,
: out on long tables and carefully piclet
over by the Indian women and children
all the bad beans being thrown out. ]
only remains then to have it put int
bags, weighed and marked, before it
ready for shipment to the port. On som
of the larger plantations this process
: greatly simplified, with considerable say
ing in time and labor, by the use of in
proved machinery for drying and cleaE
ing the coffee.

The Tariff Bill.

Washington, May S.-The opponents
of the Tariff bill endeavored to kill it
in the House to-day. Wood made a
motion to go into Committee of the
Whole and take up the bill for discus
sion. This was met with counter
motion by Conger to strike out the en-
acting clause. The Speaker ruled the
latter motion out of order. To stop
discussion it was then proposed to limit
the debate to ten minutes, but Garfield
moved to amend by limiting the debate
to two hours. Wood expressed his
willingness to limit the debate to one
week, but this was ridiculed by the op-
ponents of the bill. A vote was then
taken on Garfield's motion and was
defeated by vote of 107 to 1872. The
friends of the bill regarded this vote as
indicating the purpose on the part of
the House to debate it fully. After the
vote was announced Wood was appealed
to, to fix some time for closing the gen.
eral debate, but would not. He hoped
it would close soon so that the bill could
be considered by sections. The motion
then to go into Committee of the
Whole was then carried and Mr.. Tucker
was recognized and proceeded to speak
ut length.

Pennsylvania Politics.

Philadelphia, May S.-Th National
State convention was called to order in
Concert Hall this morning. All the
counties in the State, with a few ex-
ceptions have full delegations. The
number Of delegates present was about
two hundred and thirty. A delegation
of women, representing the Citizens
Suffrage Association, was on the floor
at the opening of the proceedings.
Chairman Devices, in his address,
reviewed the condition of the party,
stating that from 1000 votes in 1876,
it had increased to nearly 5000 votes
in 1877, and that with its thorough
organization there was no reason that
entire success should not be achieved in
the next campaign.
David Kirk was chosen temporary
chairman. In acknowledging the honor
conferred he denounced the national
banking system, claiming that the ma
tion should honor its own paper.

Various Matters.

London, May S.-The rumors lately
current in Constantinople about the
Russian concentrations at Pyrgos, threat
ening the upper Bosphorus, are untrue.
The Ports answer about the evacua-
tion Of fortresses has been sent to st.
Petersburg. No important change of
situation is likely to occur until the
Russian rejoinder is returned. A Rus
sian coup de main is no longer dreaded
or believed possible, in view of the con-
dition and numbers of the Turkish
army The Turkish Commissioners at
Philippopolis report the Rhodope insur-
rection still unchecked.
A correspondent at Constantinople,
who represents the Russian idea, reiter-
ates the statement that the insurrec-
tion was never serious, and will termi.
nate without coercion as soon as the
insurgents are convinced that they are
not included in new Bulgaria. Bills
will be presented in the Austrian and
Hungarian Legislatures on Thursday
asking authority for the respective Min
listers Of Finance to arrange form by
which the money voted by the delega
tions shall be raised.

The Louisville Courier-Journal COM
menting on Montgomery Blair's unrest
and distress over the 'tgreat electoral
fraud" says that Mr.. Blair should
possess his soul in patience, like the
rest of the swindled people, who be-
lieve that Time is the great avenger."
This is all very well, but the ambitious
Montgomery doubtless fears that Time,
unless it is hurried up little, will not
get in its avenging work soon enough
to give him Cabinet office or a first
class foreign mission. If Henry Wat
terson was as old as Mr.. Blair, he might
not be able to wait on the slow but sure
pace of avenging Time with as calm
,equanimity and as serene philosophy as
ne does now. If the time, within
which he could reasonably expect to be
able to accept first class appointments,
was limited to half dozen instead Of
score or more Of years, he might be
as anxious us Mr.. Blair to hurry up the
steps of Time, the avenger.

THIS is a world Of trouble and of
course it is to be expected that a news
paper has to take its share. The trou-
BILE with the Canon City, Colorado,
Avalanche was its name. 1t is useless
to quote Shakespeare to the people of
Canon City and say, "What's in a
name9" for they have desired the editor
of the Avalanche to change the name
of that paper. Probably it is too
sweeping. Be that as it may, the edi-
tor says he will adopt cognomen
more appropriate to the interests of
the county," and ii will hereafter ap-
pear under the peaceful! title of the

SENATE.

Washington, May S.-The Senate re-
sumed the consideration of the Indian
appropriation bill pending, the question
being an amendment to remove the
Nez Perces Indians of Joseph's band,
now held as prisoners of war at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, to Idaho Terri
tory, instead of to the Indian territory
as the House provided. After some de-
bate the amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Maxey moved to strike out the
whole clause of the House bill which
provides for their removal to the Indian
territory, and appropriates twenty
thousand dollars for their settlement,
purchase of clothing, subsistence, etc.
Pending the discussion on the amend
ment, Edmunds submitted one, provi-
ding for the removal of the Indians
named to such portion of the Indian
territory rs the United States has
right to use for such purposes, consist
ent with the existing treaties, and ar
rangements with tribes occupying the
Indian territory. Agreed to without
debate.
Teller submitted an amendment pro-
viding that the consent of the Indians
should be obtained before their removal
to the Indian territory. Rejected: yeas
q, nays rs.
The question then required on the
amendment of Maxey, to strike out the
whole paragraph, ana it was rejected;
yeas 81, nays 26.
The amendments of the Appropria-
tion Committee were agreed to, reduc-
ing the appropriation for teachers, me-
chanics, etc., at the Sioux agency, in
Nebraska, from S55, 900 to 49,, 600; ap-
propriating $50, 900 for the Sioux, San
tee and Crow Creek agencies industrial
schools; reducing the amount for the
removal of the Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail Indians from 5000, 900 to 800, 900,
and providing that they be removed to
such points on the Sioux reservation as
the Secretary of the Interior, by direc-
tion of the President, may select, with
the consent of said Indians.
Matthews introduced a bill to amend
the revised statutes in regard to the in
corporation of the banking associations
by the legislature of Washington terri
tory. Referred to the Committee on
Territories.
Senator Cockrell called up the House
bill to forbid the further retirement of
United Stateslegaltender notes, and said
it was not his intention to attempt to
force an immature action on the bill,
from statements made to him by men,
bers of the Committee on Finance, that
the bill could be reported back, proba-
bly,, by Tuesday next. He withdrew
any opposition to reference. The bill
was then referred to the Committee on
Finance.
