MUSIC IN ENGLAND.

The Prince of v ales is earnestly IA
voriDg the establishment Of Royal Col
lege of Music. Through the secretary OF
the proposed college he has Just sent
circular to the clergy of England and
Wales IN which he says: "His Royal
Highness is fully aware of the large de-
mand8 on clergYmen (Which often make
it impossible for them to give pecuniary
aid even in the best cause. On the other
band they have peculiar opportunities
tor bringing subjects requiring such sup
port before their parishioners, and by
forming committees can obtain small sub
scnptIOns from those who, though not
wealthy, are willing to ASST t worthy
OBJECT. The Prince of Wales desires
me, therefore, to ask your aid by bring
ing the subject of the Royal College of
Music under the notice of your parishion-
ners ana acquaintances, and by inviting
them to contribute to it. [ am also to
express the hope that you will be able to
form a committee in the parish with the
view Of collecting smaller contributions
toward this national object Music in
creases the sum of harmless and elevatinp
pleasures, binds families together, allevi1
ates the sorrows and quickens the joys of
life, and not only enlivens the social
meeting, but is the best accompaniment
to the worship of Almighty God. All
this the Royal College of Music will as
slst. The foundation scholarshipssof the
college may, it is hoped, often be the
means of eVoklng talent in quarters where
otherwise it would have lain dormant.
On these grounds His Royal Highness
commends the college to your early and
best attention, and l shall be glad to hear
for his information whether, and it so in
what way, it will be in your power to as
sist the object in view"

THE KIND OF COFFEE WE DO
NOT GET.

If the official returns of the coffee trade
are to be trusted-and presumably they
are not greatly in error-The cofee-cou-
suming public of this country has been
for long time past very much deluded.
There are Il aanltitude of people in this
part of the world VINO are laDolIng under
the belief that the beverage which they
drink at breakfast, and possibly alter
dinner, is Mocha coffee. The grocer tells
them that the article he sells is ''pure Mo
cha" and they have no means of know
ing that he is deceiving them, if indeed,
he has not been deceived himself. Some,
with peculiar fastidiousness, insist up
on having q mixture, and want one half
or one third Of Mocha, and the remain
der of Java cofee-a request which the
grocer seemingly complies with; that is,
he takes the coffee from two separate
compartments. Now, the last complet-
ed returns of the coffee production Of the
world are made up to the year 1878. In
that year the estimated growth was ;
OS2, 1925 pounds, of which Brazil pro-
duced 407, 127, 800 pounds, or nearly one
half Next came the Dutch East Indian
possessions, where the crop amounted to
3O1, 500, 200 pounds; while Ceylon, South
Africa, and the West Indies furnished
nearly all of the rest Arabia, it is true,
appears on the list, but its total growth,
the Mocha district, and the srest of the
county combined, was only about 1900
900 pounds-that is, not quite one half Of
| per cent. of the growth of the world.
When it is considered that coffee is
extensively used in Arabia, that Moct q
comes within the possessions of Turkey,
a country peopled with coffee drinkers,
and that we have no direct communica-
tion with Arabia, one may well hesitate
before he accepts the current Mocha ic-
ton of the grocers. 1t is highly probable
that not 10000 pounds Of this article are
brought into this country in the course
of year, an amount that would not fur
nisb days supply for the inhabitants Of
this city. We all, Of course, know the
flavor of Mocha coffee, and hence cannot
be deceived, though in reality probably
not one in thousand fus ever tasted it.

clump of tall rag-weed stands in the open
doorway where young Watson Brown and
his brother were shot down. The roof

decay about the spot that accords well
with the stagnation of the town."

A ROYAL WEDDING IN NEvADA.-His
Majesty Winnemucca MDLV., King of
all the Piutes, was recently married to a
princess of his tribe. Buena Vista John,
a trusted member of Winnemucca's Cab
met, says the royal consort is past the
middle age and weighs all the same as
four sacks of -four. Winnemucca, who
traces his lineage, according to Piute ira
ditiOn, from the time when the Humboldt
valley was lake, is said to be the fifteen
hundred and ffty-ffth monarch in his
line. II has children past the prime of
life, and the old fellow takes a new wife
to provide tor his necessities in his old
age The Piute marriage ceremony is
very simple affair. The chosen bride re-
tires to her wickiup at an appointed hour
and huddles in a corner. If she does not
like the bridegroom she gets up and runs
away when he enters the wickiup, but if
he is the man of her choice remains and
tecomes his slave for life. The old King
will now have an easier time than has
been his lot for years past, as the Queen
will have to rustic for grub for the aged
monarch.-W Wi1uneDaucca (Ne0.) ,SilUer

OFFERING PREMIUMS FOR BABIES.-[t
is well known that Baltimore society peo-
pie form themselves in clubs of dozen
or so and give teas and receptions at one
or the Cther's houses during the winter,
but perhaps it is not so well known that
there exists here an association, compos-
ed of ten OF the most fashionable young
married ladies o! which the city can
boast, called "The Sour-Grape Club"
1t is learned that the club was formed at
Lehman's Hall last winter one year ago,
during german given by the Tuesday
Club. The lady members-no gentle
men are admitted to membership-agree
to present to the lucky mother numerous
articles of wearing apparel and infants
jewelry upon the birth of every child to
ore of its members This obligation has
been faithfully carried out, and one in
stance one of the members has received
two sets of prizes. Committees of three
members each on qualification, prizes,
and records are appointed yearly, and a
photograph of the "blessed baby" is fur
nished each Of the members The men,
bership is limited to ten, and all vacan-
cies occasioned by death or resignation
are filled by ballot by the remaining
members. 1t is said that the number of
applications for admss'o1 to the club are
over fifty. The prizes are estimated to
be worth over 500, and are of the very
best quality.-B0Ztimore Day.

Brown, aged 6S, a colored gen.

cative, called at the county
clerks office, on Monday, to
get a marriage license for his
18th son, whom he called his

dentally, that he was present at
the battle of San Jacinto and
had witnessed the capture of
Santa Anna and also saw him
put aboard the steamboat. Wash
further stated that he was a
democrat and ever since he had
had a vote he always voted the
democratic ticket; he had been
in the city bastile several times,
but the republicans wouldn't
help him out his democratic
friends always assisted him
when he got into trouble. He
was democrat from far back
and would never go back on

The Arkansas Traveller.

At an early day in the his
tory of Arkansas a traveller had
occasion to stop at the cabin Of
squatter. The cabin was but
half rooted; the traveller asked
the squatter why he didn't have
a roof on. his cabin. The
a squatter replied that when it
was dry he didn't need any
roof and when it rained he
couldn't put roof on. This
story has been told many times,
and will have to be told many
times more. 1t is told now for
a special purpose. The roads
in this county are in a very bad
condition the weather is also
very bad and the roads are now
like the squatter's cabin in
rainy weather-can't be re-
paired. and in good weather
they don't need repairing.

Best Advantage

is a matter worthy of no small >onsidera-
ton. Excellence of material and trim
mings, neatness of appearance, reliability
of sewing, and lowness of price, are of
equal importance to the consumer. In
our selections of goods these features are
never lost sight Of. We know manufacture
ers in New York who excel in this partic-
ular branch of the business YOUNG
MEMS SUITS and from them we buy
such goods.
Parties who have been carried away with
the idea that to leave their measure 'tand
pay exhorbitAnt prices" for suit of clothes
would result in perft ct satisfaction to them
selves and the envy of their neighbors, in
vsriably see the difference after it is too
late, after they have spent double the mon
ey itworld have taken in the first place
to buy really elegant-looking and per-
feet fitting suit OF us.
There is no mistake about it that the class
of Ready-Made Clothing we are showing
is really a credit to ourselves and to the
Clothing Trade.
