Vennor predicts considerable amount OF
warmth for 1888. September and October are
likely to give the warmth. Some actually hot
days will be experienced in the last named
month. November will probably continue open
and warm until towards the latter portion of
the month when rather severe and ~intry
period is likely to set in with hard frosts The
fore part of December will probably continue
cold and may lead many TO look for an early
setting in of the winter of 1882. "a. The year
will go out and the new year enter with but
little or no snow, even in Northern sections.

Mr.. Jas. A. Mudd, were quietly married in
Baltimore last week much to the surprise Of
their many friends and aequaintances The
young couple had gone to Baltimore ostensibly
to attend the Oriole but subsequent events
proved that something nearer and dearer to
their hearts was conn. acted with the visit, and
they returned home bound one in the indis-

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE DUBLIN ASSASSsNartoN.

A great sensation WEE caused in the trial of
the Phoenix Park murderers on the 18th inst,
ween James Carey, one of the prisoners. un-
expectedly took the stand and made long
confession. giving tho history of various
secret organizations formed for the purpose of
assassinating officials and to "remove all
tyrants." He described the several attempts
that were made to murder Forster and Earl
Cowper by the Dublin branch of the ''Invlr-
eibles," attempts, however, which were frus-
trated by some unforeseen accident. It was
after Curley became chairman of the council
that the murder OF Burke was determined
upon, the 1nvincibles having decided to con-
centrate all their efforts on him after Forster
lett Ireland; All the prisoners except James
Mullett, met at the park on May 6, and the
witness minutely detailed the movements of
the conspirators on the morning of the MUIR
der, confirming in every detail Kavanaghs
confession. Brady is the man, he said. Who
first stabbed Burke, and when Lord Cavendish
attempted to rescue the latter, he also was at
tackled and murdered. Carey formally identi-
fled all the prisoners who, during his testi-
mony, frequently called him perjured liar "
and scoundrel. His story created profound
sensation. :;

The Virtues of Coffee,

The action of coffee is directed chiefly
to the nervous system. It produces
warming, cordial expression upon the
stomach, quickly followed by diffused,
agreeable and nervous excitement, which
extends itself to the cerebral functions,
giving rise to increased vigor of magma
ton and intellect, without any subse-
quent confusion of stupor, such as are
characteristic of narcotics. Coff$ e con-
tains essential principles of nutrition far
exceeding in importance its exbila1atjng
properties and is one of the most desjr-
able articles for sustaining the system in
certain prostrating diseases. As COM
pared with the nutrition to be derived
from the best of soups, coffee has de-
cidedly the advantage and is to be pre-
ferred in many instances. The medici-
nal effects of coffee are very great. In
intermittent fever it has been used by
eminent physicians with the happiest ef-
fects in cutting short the attack, and if
properly managed is better in many
cases than the sulphate of quinine. In
that low state of intermittent. as found
on the banks of the Mississippi River
and other malarial districts, accompan-
led with enlarged spleen and torpid liver,
when judiciously administered it is one
Of the surest remedies. In yellow fever
it has been used by physicians, and with
some it is their main reliance after other
necessary remedies have been admins
tered; it retains tissue change, and thas
becomes conservator of force in that
state in which the nervous system tends
to collapse, because the blood has be-
come impure; it sustains the nervous
power until the depuration and reorgan-
ization of the blood are accomplished,
and has the advantage over other stimu-
ulants in inducing no injurious second
ary effects. In spasmodic asthma it's
utility is we'll established, as in whoop-
ing cough, stupor, lethargy and such
troubles. In hysterical attacks, for
which in many cases physician can
form no diagnosis, coffee is a great
help. Coffee is opposed to malaria, to
all noxious vapors. AS disinfectant
it has wonderful powers. As an Instant
aneous deodorjzer it has no equal for the
sick-room, as all exhalations are imme-
diately neutfalized by simply passing
chafng-dish with burning coffee grains
through the room. It may be urged
that an article possessing such powers
and capacity for such energetic action
must be injurious as an article of diet of
habitual employment, and not without
deleterious properties; but no CORES
pondlng nervous disarrangements have
been observed after it's effects have die
appeared, as are seen in narcotics and
other stimulants. The action impaired
to the nerve is natural and healthy.
Habitual coffee drinkers generally enjoy
good health Some. of the Oldest people
have used coffee from earliest infancy
without feeling and depressing reaction,
such as IL produced by aleohQlic etimu-
!ants. - :nHt.IE. -. - q. /. -.
