THE COFFEE We DKNK.-The ScieE-
ti6c American says, that during the
twenty years ending June 80, 1876, the
United States imported over 100000
tons of coffee, less than 100000 tons of
which were re-exported. During the
year ending June 80, 1877 we imported
32O,OOO,OOO pounds Of coffee, three
iourths Of which came from Brazil. For
the twenty years mentioned our con-
sumption of coffee averaged 2OO,0OO,0OO
pounds a year. During the last five
years of the period it was 30O,OOo,OOO
pounds. Laterly the relative amount
brought from Brazil has declined ow-
ing to the greater increase in amount
imported from other countries. Last
wear our coffee account with Brazil ex-
ceeded the sun of our exports thither
by more than $2s, 100000.

The funeral of the late ex King of Han
over was only the third royal funeral seen
in Paris in two centuries. singular as the
fact may seem. Lonis XIV. and Louis
XIV. both died at Versailles, and were
buried with manned rights at St. Denis,
the one at night, the other at daybreak.
Who can forget that weird story of the
peasants in the Bois de Boulogue, who,
seeing the cortege of Louis XIV. pass in the
gray light like guilty thing, made the
forest ring with their sinister mockery of
the Kings affected English bunting cry,
eta y-ho!" The bodies of Louis XVI.
and Marie-Antoinette were thrown into
pits flled with quick lime. No one knows
where the little murdered Dauphin, Louis
XVII, was laid. Louis XVIII, died in the
Tuileries, and had q stately funeral, though
it was not to be compared with the sole mn
funeral of Napoleon the Great, brought
back in his coffin from St. Helena by De
Joinville in 1s4O. Charles x. and the
Duke of Angouleme, who for few days
bore the phantom title of Louis XIX, died
in exile at Govitz. Louis Philippe died
in England and was buried at Claremont,
though subsequently his remains were re-
moved to Dreux. Napoleon III. lies at
Chislehurst. Thus the capital of France
in the course of two centuries has really
only seen three royal funerals, and of these
tbree one was that of deposed foreign
king, and another the reinterment of q
sovereign who had died twenty years
before iD exile.

THE GREENBACK ERS PLAT
FORM.

Neither Of the old parties are to be
trusted; no third terms, except where
skill and experience are indispensable /;
strict construction Of the Constitution I;
United States bonds to be taxed by the
States like any other property: the (paper)
currency to be q full legal tender for all
purposes /; the immediate and uncondi-
tional repeal of the Resumption act;
plenty Of new Treasury notes to fully meet
the wants Of trade greenbacks instead OF
national bank notes except where the
original law forbids, all Government bonds
and obligations to be redeemed in legal
tender notes, and as promptly as possible;
no fresh issues of Understanding bonds;
a judicious policy Of Internal improve
ments, especially railroads. and more es-
pecially railroads into Mexico and n second

ciAc; all remaining public lands to be
given away to actual settlers; no more
false economy in hard times. This is the
