PURE MOCHA COFFEE.

The name usually provokes smile,
and yet incredible as it may appear,
there is such a thing as Mocha coffee.
Although those who should know say
that it can be obtained at only two
wholesale grocers in this city, while a
call for it in a restaurant would be GER
tain to be met with by looks of derision.
Nine-tenths Of the coffee consumed in
the United States is from Brazil last
year our importations from that coun-
try were 389, ,947, 900 pounds. This fact
well illustrates the popularity of stim-
ulating drinks in this country. Coffee
has been favorite beverage from the
days when our forefathers drank. it in
London coffee-houses two centuries ago,
and in the New World such resorts have
been associated with some important
events in our history. 1t was in
Whitehall Street coffee-house, it will be
remembered, that the first non-importa-
tion agreement was signed here more
than 100 years ago, and it was at the
Tontine Coffee-House in Wall Street,
in 1904, that the ehorror-stricken citizens
first learned that Alexander Hamilton
had fallen in duel with Aron Burr.
AT first expensive, it is now within
the reach of all. In democratic Amer
lea every class drinks it, and as
nation we consume more than any
other people, and naturally there is
a call for the best to be had. OF
pure Mocha not more than 10000
pounds are usually imported at New
York in year, and though the new
penal code is said to be checking in
measure the adulteration of other
kinds of coffee with chicory, beans and
peas, or else compelling dealers to so la
bel coffee containing these foreign in
gradients that the buyer may know
what he is purchasing, yet the mixing
Of Mocha coffee with various other de-
scriptions is carried to such an extent
that at least five times as much "Mo-
cha" is sold as is actulIy imported
that is, while the imports are 100000
pounds, the sales run up to 100000
pounds. Curiously enough, while
Americans think so much of Mocha, the
English prefer Ceylon coffee, or what
they term "Blue Mountain Jamaica.
Very little of either is consumed here.
In Paris the wealthy classes try to pro-
cure Mocha, and succeed to some extent,
though, in France, Ceylon, Jamaica
and Rio are usually consumed. The
Mocha received here comes from Alden
by way of the Suez Canal, going first to
London, and from there being shipped
to this country. Alden merchants how
ever, import coffee from both Rio de
Janeiro and Santas-especiafiiy the pea
berry Santas-and send it in many in
stances to foreign markets as Mocha,
so that all the adulterating is not done
by the unscrupulous Yankee.-En-
change.

LAUREL HILL.

During one Of my rambles around
Philadelphia 1 found myself in the
vicinity Of Laurel Hill, and having
heard Of the splendor and grandeur Of
its tombs and vaults, I determined to
spend the afternoon in wandering about
this cemetery to explore this silent
city; to wander through its quiet
streets and lanes, and to try to realize
what devastation death has wrought in
this world.
The entrance to Laurel Hill is very
striking. 1t is through massive
brown stone building, frontHd by a
portico supported by Doric columns.
Inside the gateway is a group of stat
uary representing a scene from Sir
Walter Scott's novel, "Old Mortality. ="
The rude sculptor is at his favorite
task Of restoring an inscription on
tombstone. Beside bim is an open
bible, and close by stands his old nag,
looking at her master as if she knew
what he was doing, and as if she ap-
proved of the work. Old Mortality has
has paused from his labors and is talk
ing to a man sitting close by. This
person is, | suppose, the schoolmaster
mentioned in the first chapter Of the
novel as saying, "The dead are only
connected with US by the thought that
they have once been what we noware and
that, as their reliques are now identi
fed with their mother earth, ours shall,
at some future period, undergo the
same transformation. Are not those
whom we have laid beneath the sod
connected with us by ties more power
full than these Does death sever the
tie Of friendship? Can the mother
cease to love the child when the cold
earth is thrown upon it ? o, no God
would never have permitted the ties of
friendship and love to exist if they
were to be severed by death. Those
who sleep beneath are also connected
with us by the thought that Christ
died for them as well as for us. l
never did admire "Old Mortality. y
Perhaps l misjudge this eccentric old
Scotchman, but think he would have
conferred greater benefit upon society
had he remained at home and provided
for his family instead of roaming over
the country erecting and restoring
tombstones that kept the minds Of the
aggrieved infamed against the aggres-
sors, instead Of teaching them to forget
and forgive and to love their neighbors
as themselves. His wife, owing to the
negligence of her spouse, had to sup
port her children by teaching school.
But if it were not for such personages
where would be our delightful ro-
mances Where would be the Ana
nias-like 'Baron Munchausen," :" OF
the loquacious /" Sancho Panza, !" or the
morose Don Quixote ?" But the cem-
etery is not the place to talk OF ro-
: nance. When we look around and see
the grave-the final destiny of all-it
is enough to put all romance to flight
Many distinguished persons are
