AMONG the Dorsey-Sun letters is one
from Gen Garfield alluding to "a side
arrangement" in which T. w. Phillips
of New Castle, Pa, is referred to, and
another letter introducing and COM
mending Mr.. Phillips to the National
Committee. The italicised word has
evolved much sensational comment, OF
course putting a corrupt construction,
directly and by innuendo, upon the af-
fair. The "side arrangement" referred
to was an offer by Mr. Phillips, an ar
dent member of the Disciples church
the same to which Gen. Garfield be.
longed-and warm personal friend ol
the General, to visit and secure the co.
operation of the brethren in Indiana,
where they were numerous. This is
the story of the italics, in brief Those
acquainted with Mr.. Phillips will never
suspect him of engaging in any cor
rupt practice, and the sensation is
spoiled.

THE GREAT VICE OF NEW ENGLAND

Forty thousand dollars worth of chew
ing gum is gathered in the State of
Maine every year. In Oxford county is
q man who makes it lis business to COL
lect spruce gum. Tvery year he buys
from seven to nine tons. The gum is
found chiefly in the region about Umba-
cog lake and about the Rangeley lakes.
A number of men do nothing else in the
winter season but collect gum. With
snowshoes, ak and a sheboygan, on
which is packed the gum, they spend
days and nights in the woods. The
clear, pure Jumps of gum are sold in
their native state, the best bringing 81
per pound. Gum not Immediately mer-
charitable is refined by a peculiar pro-
cess. Sieve-lilze boxes ere covered with
spruce boughs, on which is placed the
gum. Steam is introduced underneath.
The gum is melted, is strained by the
boughs, and then passes into warm Wa
ter, where it is kept from hardening un-
til the packer takes it out, draws it into
sticks and wraps it in tissue paper, when
it IS ready for market.
The gum meets with q ready sale.
There is not a village, town or city in
Maine where it is not in demand. In the
large mill cities gum has free sale. In
Biddeford, Lewiston, Lawrence and
Lowell the factory girls consume large
quantities. It is said that in the lumber
camps gum is used as q means Of extend
ing hospitality. After meal time the
host fills his own black clay pipe and
hands it to his guest. Later, clear
Jumps of spruce gum are placed before
the visitor, and he is asked to take a
chew. Maine produces $4,000 worth
Of gum in year, some of which finds its
way to this market, from which it is dis
,5ributed to the various outlying factory
villages, where, as stated before, it is in
good demand. Spruce gum is adulter-
ated, and those who adulterate take the
trouble to fashion the pieces of gum to
appear like those taken in a pure state
from the trees. The ingredient of adul-
teTation is supposed to be the gum of
the pine tree.-PrOUjdence Journal.

" PURE MOCHA"-A DELUDED PUB.


&" PURE MOCHA"-A DELUDED PUB
LIC
IF the official returns of the coffee
trade are to be trusted-and presumably
they are not greatly in error-the coffee
consuming public of this country has
been for long time past very much de-
Iuded. There are multitude of people
III this part of the world who are hor-
ing under the belief that the beverage
which they drink at breakfast, and pos
slbly after dinner, is Mocha coffee.
Their grocer tells them that the article
he sells is "pure Mocha" and they have
no means of knowing that he is deceiv-
ing them, if, indeed, he has not been de-
celved himself. Some, with a peculiar
fastidiousness, insist upon having MKT
ure, and want oue-half or one-third of
Mocha and the remainder of Java coffee
"a request which the grocer cunningly
complies with; that's, he takes the coffee
from two separate compartments. Now,
the last completed returns of the coffee
production of the world are made up to
the year 1878. In that year the esti-
mated growth was1 ,O82, 112, 500 pounds,
OF which Brazil produced 4O7, 127, 300
pounds, or nearly one-half. Next came
the Dutch East Indian possessions,
where the crop amounted to POI, sos, 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 rest of the country COM
bined. was only about 4, 500, 900 pounds
that is, not quite one-half of 1 per
cent. of the growth of the world.
When it is considered that coffee is
extensively used in Arabia, that Mocha
comes within the possessions of Turkey,
country peopled with coffee drinkers.
and that we have no direct communica-
ton with Arabia, one may well hesitate
before he accepts the current Mocha
fiction of the grocers. 1t is highly
probable that not 10000 pounds Of this
article are brought into this country in
the course of the year, an amount that
would not furnish 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 a thou
sand Of us ever touched it.-New York

UNCLE BILL IND THE COURT

Old Gen. c., Or, as he was known
among the members Of the bar, Uncle
Bill, was a genius in his way. He had
many virtues, but he had one great
fault-he would look upon the wine
when it was red. One day, during the
session of the court at J., Uncle Bill
gave way to his besetting weakness, and
was hauled up before the local magis-
trate and fined. The next morning.
with a dim consciousness that something
had befallen him the day before in JUS
tice B. S Office, he went over to investi-
gate.
Entering, he found the Squire weigh
ing out sugar instead of justice, for he
kept his store and Office ali in the same
room. Assuming his blandest manner,
Uncle Bill inquired:
esquire, is your court in session this
morning?"
"Naw, nav. I amt doing any bust
ness this morning; I amt doing any
thing at all this morning."
"Well, 1 only wanted to say to you,
Squire, that if you are in session [ have
a great deal of respect for the court, but
if you are not in session, then you are a
grand old rascal"
And, making his grandest bow, the
old man walked out.
