 in bulk
 long stored coffee at the higher prices gener-
 ally demanded, with the idea that it makes
 more delicious beverage. stOld' Mocha and
 especially old government "Java,' have been
 held in high esteem by some epicures who
 have accustomed themselves to their peculiar flavor, and this fashion has been followed by others who supposed the example worthy of universal imitation. A very little reflection will show to any intelligent person the ab-
 surdlty of this preference. The best aroma of coffee is exceedingly volatile and the ut most pains is taken to prevent it's escape in the process of preparation To keep coffee berry for several years until the best part of it has dried out, and then to take such ex- ceeding pains to preserve the remainder, is to spill at the bung and t0 spare at the spigot." Coffee, like tea, is best when new est, and those who have once acquired 8 re- fish for the fresh green coffee will never again select in preference that which has time.
 This country imported in the fiscal year 1850 from all foreign ports 446, $50 727 pounds of coffee, valued at $60, ,36O, 769 at it's foreign cost. To this must be added the freight and profit of the importer to show the cost to consumers. There is now no duty on coffee that comes directly from the place of it's production. Two-thirds of the whole importation last year, 296, 731, ,71S pounds, came from Brazil; 8, ,51S,91O pounds from Venezuela, 2S,033, 0OS from the Dutch East Indies, 22,659, ,285 from Hayti 19, 254. 21S from the Central American States, 12, ,6S7, 423 from the United States of Colombia, 9,S7S,- 525 from Mexico, and the remainder from various other parts of the world
 It Is unnecessary, perhaps, for us to say that large part of the coffee which is sold as the ground berry, ready for use, is adul- 'erated, and is very unlike the genuine ar- icle. Chicory root is the best of the mix lures, but dandelion root, carrot split peas md great variety of other substances are lsed to cheapen the product. They are all destitute of caffeine, and fail, therefore, to i've the stimulating effect produced by the office. Even if the preparation was pure round coffee is not fit for use few hours fter it leaves the mill. A family may pur- hase it's coffee already roasted but the rinding should be done in the kitchen at the moment of preparation. It may then be oiled in close vessel, or simply infused, nd it is refreshing drink, well calculated 3 lessen the daily enormous waste of the ami lal frame

Mir. William M. Browne, the agricultural
 professor of the University of Georgia warns
 the farmers of the Southern States that they
 are likely to have trouble unless they at once
 plant food crops on 8 sufficient scale to carry
 themselves and their live stock through the
 winter. The theory that the higher prices
 obtained for cotton will make up for the loss
 Of the corn he pronounces fatal delusion
 The great mass of the farmers are in debt for
 supplies, fertilizers, etc. By November
 10th" says the professor, ''three -fourths of
 the cotton will have passed out of the hands
 of the producers. The spectators will own
 1t; and as they hold the purses they can and
 will control the market so as to depress
 prices until they have taken full advantage
 of the farmers necessities and become
 the owners of all the fruits of their years labor. In February or March the price of cotton may, and probably will, advance but how will that benefit the poor farmer who, in order to meet his obligations to his mer- chant, was compelled to sell all he had made at whatever price :the speculator thought proper to giye?" The only salvation for him is to cut, save and stow away every blade of grass, save millet at once, prepare an unusu- ally large turnip patch, save all his peas, pea vines and corn stalks, SOW largely the small grains, and devote one or two acres of his richest soil to lucern.

HECK KER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER,
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier. S1r:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seVenty-five thousand (75, ,OOO) lbs. Of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder. it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cu1t) than either the 'sRoyal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

Immigrants in the Up.COuntry.

The effort of the bureau is to procure

good of immigrant and the employer.

will doubtless be some who will soon be.

as soon as the sun became hot, yet many
of them are still here, useful and thrifty.
We think they have proved success
with Col. Crayton in Anderson. We

finest farms upon the Saluda, in this
county, and is managing a number of
colored men. We know another place

quires the parties receiving them to be

has them furnished with comfortable
transportation and comfortable recep-
ton on their arrival in Columbia; he is
bringing them in families and as well as
he can, and is settling several families in
the same neighborhood. We know sew
eral who are succeeding in the cultiva-
tion of cotton, though we are hardly yet
prepared to believe that they will make
as efficient laborers for the cultivation of
the feecy staple as the colored man but
we have other branches of labor in which

PRODUCTION will serve many good purpo-
ses; he will supply labor to those who
are without it; he will make the negro
a more efficient laborer by inciting a
healthy rivalry. He will intermarry
with our own race, and thus become
part of our country. His introduction
may be the means of giving the white
race numerical majority, or at least of
teaching the colored man that work and
not politics is his first duty to his coun.
try. We are not one of those who would
like to see the negro leave this State; but
if his political race-hatred is to be con-
tinued, if he will not act in political con-
cert with the white man, the sooner many
leave the better it will be for both races.

Let Us Have SunflOWers.

AS the spring is rapidly advancing,
and plans for vegetables and flowers for
the coming summer are discussed in va
rious households, allow me to present q
plea for the old-fashioned sunhowers,
that they may find place around every
home. 1 do not think they are beautiful
like many more delicate blossoms, but
still like homely persons) they are very
good. In the first place, they are the
most important disinfectants, they absorb
gases that arise from drains, water-closets
and other places, either around the house
or barn; aud have yet to learn OF a
home where sunfowers grow profusely
around the kitchen or barnyard that was
afflicted with malarial fevers. The more
foul matter they absorb, the more rank
they grow, and they require very little
care and time in their cultivation. Just
mellow up the earth few inches below
the surface and scatter the seeds, cover
ing them so that the poultry will not
scratch them up. This is all the cult
vation they need for weeks. AS they
stretch upward in their rapid growth they
may need short stick set up to tie them
to, so that the winds may not break them
over till they gain strength to support
themselves.
When the flowers bloom they turn
their heads to the sun throughout the
day, and at night fold their bright petals
towards the centre and drop their heads,
as if they were resting. I would not
fancy seeing them cultivated under the
parlor windows or at the front porch, but
1 do like to see them spread their broad
leaves over slop holes and drains, OF
screen the barnyard fenco from view,
gathering their nourishment from the
miasmatic vapors that poison the air.

life of human being, but it is our
sworn duty to discharge it according to
our best ability. It is well you are not
required to Judge of the law. The Con-
stitution decides this. In only one case
are you the judges of the law, and that is
in an Indictment for libel, in all other
cases the Judge declares the law. Thir-
teen years ago judge would have been
allowed to comment on the facts, but he
cannot do it now. He can only State
the law. This is right, for if the judges
err the Court of Errors will correct them,
and the prisoner has the right to go
there. The crime charged here is MUIR
der. Murder is defined in our statutes,
and the definition has been stated to you.
Malice is that which differentiates MUIR
der from other crimes. Express malice
and implied malice are well.defued and
cannot be mistaken. Do you find from
the testimony in the case any evidence
of expressed malice? That is question
for you to decide. Was there formed
design of the prisoner to take the life of
the deceased? The killing is admitted.
The whole circumstances have been de-
tailed to you. The prisoner himself has
made his statement to you, and no one
has denied it. The Statutes declare that
all the common law Of England, not in
consistent with the Statutes and the
Constitution is in force in South Carroll
na. It has been argued that because the
law has been allowed to sleep, it has no
force. This is not so. The law is in
force and has never been abrogated. 1t
has been testified that this duel was fair.
If it is meant to urge that as matter of
selfdefence, charge you as matter of
law that self.defence is no plea where
one has purpose. The offence cannot
be condoned, because Mr.. Shannon par
ticipated in it. Each man must answer
for his own acts. If the case had been
reversed the deceased would now be at
the bar to answer for the violation ofthe
law. You have nothing to do with Ex-
ecutiye clemency. Discard from your
minds this consideration. Mercy does
not belong here. The Executive alone
has that power. Juries may do it, but if
you do it you do wrong. Ifyou find the
defendant guilty, say SO. If you find
him not guilty, say so aud no more.
The distinction drawn by the solicitor as
to legal and moral fraud was correct.
The Constitution plainly declares the
law on dueling, and is supplemented by
the Acts of 1870 and 1880 and declares
killing in duel murder and death the
penalty.
After reading the testimony and charg-
ing the jury again on their duty, the
jury retired at 5.15 p. m. They will
probably be out all night D. D. E.

4 New Declaration of independence.

When, in the course of human events,
it becomes necessary for one sex to dis
solve the forced and disagreeable bands
which have connected them with anoth.
er, and to assume the rank and station to
which they aspire in the grand arena of
life, a decent respect for the opinions of
mankind requires that they should give
to the world piece or two of their
mind.
We hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent that all men are, by nature, equal
amongst themselves, but far inferior to
woman; that by continuous practice for
nearly six thousand years they have bur-
dened and oppressed the opposite sex !;
that they are in the main, and some of
them in particular, conceited, and arro-
CANT and presumptuous; that they have
indulged in their petty tyrannles until
forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
Prudence would dictate tbata government
long established should not be thrown
off without sufficient cause but when a
long train of abuses and usurpations and
downright meanness, evinces settled
and fixed purpose on the part of men to
reduce women to a state of abject obedi-
ence, it then becomes the inalienable
right of the oppressed to rise in the
strength of their womanhood and assert
the superiority to which they are so just
ly entitled by nature. 10 prove this
let lei facts be submitted to a candid world.
They, the aforesaid men, have refused
assent to our government, so wholesome
and necessary for their good.
They have per'istently refused to yield
to us the "last word," so dear to every
one of us. ,.,.
They insist on the utmost stolidity
when we arc delivering in dramatic
STYLE little private conversations known
as "Caudle lectures"
They heap insult on us by calling us
"old maids" if we assert our rights and
refuse to form q matrimonial alliance
with any of them.
They become perfect nuisances when
they find buttons wanted, or garments
not fitting with matical nicely.
The make bears of themselves when
the bread is overdonc, or the coffee too
hot or cold.
They meanly refuse new bonnets and
shawls, when they know our hearts are
set on them.
They admire strange and unknown
women too much, while we at home are
considered nobodies.
They are, in the main, fools.
We, therefore, declare ourselves fret
of all allegiance heretofore forced from
US, and demand new adjustment Of th'
relations between the sexes; and, to Sc
cure the same, we rely implicitly on ou
tongues and tears.
