The Chinese have no word that is
eaui valent to hell, and no conception of
such place, A missionary in an Agri-
cultural district of China states that
when he tried to explain it, the people
asked if it was anything that could be
raised.
The Chinese who have emigrated to
the United States have no doubt learned
how. hell is raised in this country, even
if they have not incorporated in their
own language word for hell and if
they.will introduce a lot of American
hoodlums or Texas cowboys into China,
they will teach them how to raise hell
there.

Coffee is now as generally nsed as
whisky, or tobacco. Whisky or ardent
spirits has been in use since time i'm
memorial. bat tobacco was not known
until after the discovery of America.
1t is generally believed that coffee
came originally from Arabia; but it
was introduced into that country, about
three hun bred fyears ago. and against
much oppositiof0 at first, from Abys-
sinia in Africa, and derives it's name
from X affa, a district in that country.
We once heard an annecdote related
that happ ened during the life of the
relator, who still lives, that farmer in
one Of the Atlantic States was pre-
vailed on bysa merchant to buy some
coffee, a new thing then. He COM
planned to the merchant afterwards
that he could not cook it done. He had
boiled it with meat, as he would peas

What would be more charmingly
beautiful or exquisitely delicious, at

Nothing to eat" is the general
complaint in Covington at present.

We suspect that the salaries offered are

the absolute necessities of food and
clothing. there is nothing more desirable
in this life than substantial education !;
and no class Of employees are worse

Pascagoula, Miss, Democrat-Star.
1t is this kind Of plundering of the
public treasury, that brings internal
improvements. by government aid, into
disfavor. The public treasury is used
more to enrich individuals than for the
public good. If properly and economi-
cally conducted, internal improvements
by government aid, would be a great
public benefit; but as it is, it would be
better for all improvements to be left to
private enterprise. There might be
fewer of the improvements, but the
plupderers wonld be. greatly reduced
in number, and the morality of the
country wonderfully improved.
