defect was the glory of the coin. This
showed the number of blows which were
required to strike such big piece. The
die with which that coin had been
stamped must have been broken after
this piece was made. The numismatist
was wild with Joy, for certainly this piece
was unique. 1t was the first, may be the
last, of its kind, and there never would
turn up in this world another piece of
gold like it.

expert lighted cigarette and SIN ,ked to

"Twenty minutes passed. said the ex
pert, "like an instant. The Bokhara man
seemed immersed in deep thought. Then
he turned on me suddenly" continued
the expert, "pierced me through with his
black eyes, and put the much-coveted
fcoin in my hand, while his long bird like

Green Dye from Coffee Grains.

1t appears that from the grains of the
raw coffee there may be extracted beau
tiful green coloring matter adapted to all
the purposes of the cook or confectioner,
and which will ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ofgreat

as the number of green colors suitable
for such uses, and which are not poison
Gus, is very limited. According to NJ
Zech, who describes the process of ex-
traction, the coloring matter is obtained
in the following way: The coffee grains
are crushed and oil is extracted by means
of ether; they are then dried and agitated
with the white Of eggs, so as to form a
sort of paste, and the latter is expos ed
for several daysto the air. The presence
of the white of eggs then determines the
appearance of an emerald green. A sim

crushed and desiccated coffee berries
with water, expose them three or -four
days to the air, and extract the coloring
matter by means of alcohol.

A young man from the rural districts
New Jersey, accompanied by his young and
blushing bride, visited Trinity church yes
terday, and spent several hours in admiring
the ancient tombs in the church yard, the
graceful marble cherubs, and the elevated
railroad trains that fitted by. When they
had thoroughly digested the grave yard, and
seen enough to fill half the youngsters in
Southern Jersey with astonishment, the
young couple entered the church, and gazed
with awe upon the interior, with some re
marks about the useless expense of keeping
an organ at each end. Having paid their
twenty-five cents to visit the steeple, and
climbed up and down again, not forgetting

OF course they desired, and they were

bishop lying upon his back, mitre upon
his head, and his marble hands reverentially
clasped upon his breast. An artist for an
illustrated newspaper sat in one corner

on in silence for some minutes, and then

The department worked vigorously at the
flames, which were intensified by the preva-
lence of strong gale, the fire being finally
subdued after an hours struggle. About

agitated over Blan qui in very different
way from any dilemma in which he has fig
ured heretofore. AS conspirator he was
easily disposed of from time to time, as his
escapades, became troublesome. But now
if his election does not bring him amnesty,
he is a convicted prisoner with no civil
right, a menacing grievance to the radicals,
and as for the conservatives, it would be all
up with them and the bills depending npon
their action, if he were admitted on any
terms. So for the present the French are
pondering over this new hobble and peril,
in popular elections.
Blanqui's career would be consis-
the sagacity of the government in
1889. It published letter written to the
minister of the interior revealing such mi
mute information about the clubs, as to fasten
suspicion on Blanqui as the author. Barbes,
and other revolutionists declared it must have
been Blanqui, and Dufaure satisfied them
| and all sympathizers that their divination
was correct. His position has been doubtful
since then, but he has been powerless for
mischief, and the stigma of treachery hasn't
mattered much in prison, for both sides were
safe. Passively he was the cause of the
most signal disaster. After the fall of the
empire he was set at liberty, but when he led
the attack on the Hotel de Vile, October 81,
1870, Theirs imprisoned him, and at his re-
fusal to give Blanqui over to the com mmunists

ULTIMATE TERDICTS.

Since his vindication F1tz John Porter has
been overwhelmed with congratulations,
and we'll he may be, for vindication is
good deal like genius-the gift of death.
He is strangely fortunate to have lived long
enough to see obloquy changed to approbe-
tion, and distrust to sympathy. 1t needed
the procrastinating touch of years to give
such a verdict the full corrective force, and
the case of Fitz John Porter has dragged its
slow length along until the happy climax
was reached in historical completeness, and
one might almost add, remoteness.
A more extraordinary record than the
American generals has just been reversed in
France, in that of Louis Auguste Blanqui,
who has lately been elected as
member of the French chamber, after hay
ing spent thirty-ive years of his life in the
different prisons of his native land for being
a conspirator under the different names
which the Gallo revolutionary genius has
devised. In 1882, as editor of the Friends
Of the People, he was arrested for attacking
the 'men with privileges" and sent to prison
for year. No sooner was he released than
he formed club hostile to the government,
and for privately manufacturing ammuni-
tlon, he was next sent to prison for two
years. He has had varied experience of
jails, beginning with the Conciergerie and
ending with Clairvaux, where he is now held,
President MacMahon was vainly petitioned
to release him, and Grevy is inclined to be

tumn the radicals of Lyons were determined
to make Blanqui their candidate, but
he received only three votes in the
convention. Two weeks ago q feud
between the moderate and extreme repub
icsns, brought him forward again, and for
the vacancy in the chamber of deputies, he
received 3,67a votes, which made second

THE REPUBLICAN, CITY NOMINA-
TTnNE

1AONOs /
After severe labor the Republican noun
tain brought forth city ticket yesterday.
For Comptroller they accepted the Demo
cratic nominee, John w. Roche. Gen. Aver

tornev round out the ticket. AS it is alto
gether probable that neither of these gentle
men will accept, we do not go into a
discussion of the merits of the nominees.
Gen. Averill is an excellent and hon
orable gentleman, who is held in
pleasure of his acquaintance. Under or
dinary circumstances Gen. AverilI would re-
ceive the full vote of his party, but at the
present time, no one will more quickly than
himself, appreciate the fact that that is i'm
possible.
Gen. Averiil's absence, owing to his public
duties, and since his retirement from Congress
owing to the ill health of himself and fam
lily, has given him but little familiarity with
st. Paul for eight or ten years past, her
needs and her plans for the future. He,
nevertheless, knows that the local feeling

neither political or personal friendship will
| determine the vote this spring. Hence he is
we'll aware that no man can compete with
Mayor Dawson, whose large property inter
ests in St. Paul, and whose connection
with projected and partially completed
public enterprises give him on especial hold
upon the citizens of st. Paul at this crisis in
our affairs. It is no discredit to Gen. Averill
that at this time he cannot obtain his party
strength, and he does not, of course, antici-
pate receiving Democratic support. He
realizes the fact that he would simply lead a
forlorn hope where he could not even secure
the political advantage of full party vote
even though his party is in hopeless
minority. At five o'clock last evening he
declared that he had not accepted the
nomination, and though he is being stoutly
urged to accept by few who wish to draw
party lines, and some others who hope to
bleed him, it is extremely doubtful whether
he will allow his name to stand at the head
of the ticket.
Gen. Sanborn is almost certain to decline

victim, as matter of form, to fill out tn

the two are absolutely impossible t

of the winter and spring continues, with
faint indications of rain. The wheat crop
is suffering considerably for want of rain,
thoug h the past week of warm weather has
given it a much better start than was ex-
pected week ago. In consequence of the
small, shriveled kernels, wheat was sown
thicker than usual, and in most fields enough
has come up to make a fair stand, unless the
dry weather should continue much longer.
Altogether, the outlook for the wheat crop
