Democratic RecOnstructiOn-AC Cu n

BALTIMORE, Nov. GA WASH
ington correspondent of the Sun
writes: Advices received here from
Democratic leaders of high nation
al repute, especially from Southern
public men, leave no doubt that a
broadly national and conservative
course will characterize the Demo-
cratic policy the coming winter.
Zealots will be made to take back
seats. Passionate declarations,
tropical rhetoric and sectional re-
crimination will be severely sat
down upon. Republicans will be
furnished with no more CAM
paign thunder, in the shape Of the
foolish utterances of excited ora
tors, addressed to backwoods audi
ences at home, rather than the in
telligence of Congress and the
country. The above sentiments
are in the interest of the Bayard
boom. A systematic programme
has been in preparation lately in
the Southern States to secure their
delegation for Bayard in the COM
ing Democratic Convention, and
the result of the New York cleo
tion will augment the movem ent
greatly.

COFFEE AS A BEVERAGE.

1t Is somewhat singular to trace the
manner IN which arose the use of the
common beverage of coffee, without
which few persons. in any half or civil
lized country in the world, now make
breakfast. At the time Columbus dis
covered America, 1t had never been
known or used. 1t only grew in Arabia
and Upper Ethiopia. The discovery OF
its use as beverage is ascribed to the
superior monastery in Arabia, who, de-
sirous OF preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services,
made them drink the infusion OF coffee,
upon the reports of shepherds, who OBJ
served that their focks were more live
ly after browsing on the fruit of that
plant. Its reputation spread through
the adjacent countries, and in about tive
hundred years it reached Paris. A
single plant brought there in 1714. be.
came the parent stock of all the French
coffee plantations in the West Indies
The Dutch introduced it into Java and
the East Indies, and the French and
Spanish all over South America and the
West Indies. The extent of the con
sumption now can hardly be realized
The United States alone annually con
sumo it at the cost. on its landing, O
from fifteen to sixteen millions of dol
lars.

And thou vert safe at home
Thy last rapt smile bliss revealed,

WEALTH. OF THE UNITED STATES.
rFrom the Pbiladelphia Enouirer.l

(From the Philndelphia Enquirer.l
Notwithstanding the fact that the val
uation of property of almost every de-
scription has been reduced by the recent
monetary crisis and general stagnation
of trade, it Is believed that the census of
1880 will show that the United States is
the richest country IN the world. In
1870 the valuation of all our real and
personal property was over $50, ,0OO,-
0OO. 900. an increase of $14, 900, 10000
as compared with the census returns OF
1860. Up to 1875 the growth of our
wealth was very considerable, and the
losses of the war were, in a great de-
gree, made up. Since that time we have
made but little, and we have lost heavi-
ly in our industries, yet the census will
probably show that the tota. value OF all
property, real and personal, in the
United States, will be nearly $50, ,000,-
900. 900 against $42 100000 tor
Great Britain and S46. COO. 100000 for
France, the two other countries with
which we might raise comparison. At
this time, while our country is far richer
than Great Britain or France, we cannot
avoid observing that these two countries
have reached the maximum of wealth,
and the United States has but just be-
gun to grow in reality. A vast portion
Of our most valuable area has been pop
ulated but only partially developed,
whi.e millions of fertile acres of land,
and scores of valuable mines have never
yet been put to the Test of productive
ness.
No limit can really be set to our in
crease of wealth in real estate as yet,
and as the provider OF the surplus food
products OF the world, our riches in
money and in personal property must
60 on augmenting very rapidly for the
rest of the century, at least, and should
our industries be fully revived, no esti-
mate could be reasonably given of our
total wealth.
