THE LAST DRINK.

What shall we quench our thirst with now?
Tea was barred out by cautious persons long
ago on account of the Prussian blue, or Paris
green, or other unhealthful drugs said to be
employed as coloring matter for the fragrant
herb. Beer is declared to be composed of all
sorts of denominations; wine is a decoction of
logwood, and stronger Installations are not to
be thought of for varied and obvious reasons.
AS these beverages have, one by one, fallen
into disuse and disgrace, coffee has alone re-
manned, the one invigorating drink to be relied
upon at all seasons and INDUCED in without
fear of fatal consequences. The coffee may
have been weak or stronghold was a matter
dependent upon the liberality of one's land
lady. 1t may have been made of beans or
chicory or other vegetable-there was reason
for suspicion in this direction-but, at least,
poison was not concealed in the steaming CUP.
"'Was not" but, it is true, alas, 'fs not" can be
said no longer. Security is a thing of the
past in connection with the aromatic berry
which cheers and does not lnebr1ate, indeed,
but may prove an expeditions means of carry
ing its deluded partakers into another world.
The New York Sanitary Department has inves-
tigated coffee, and, with the usual result Of
such Investigations, has made disagreeable
discoveries. Green %coffees, the Board of
Health has found, are treated with coloring
matters in such a way that cheaper grades of
the berry are made to resemble the better
kinds. The coloring matter contains arsenic,
lead, Prussian blue, yellow ochre, venetian
red, and a variety Of other less harmful sub
stances, the proportions of each being varied
according to the particular style of coffee de-
sired to be turned out. a cup Of the variety

known as Java is estimated by chemists to
contain one-sixtieth of a grain of arsenic.
Rio, which is sometimes of a dull gray, is
caused to appear a handsome green by due
process Of coloring, and, as a conse-
quence, sells much better than if left
in its natural tint. The mills which
are engaged in this system of ''doctoring'
have been ordered to cease preparing these
deceptive c%offees; but doubt having entered
the minds of lovers of the fragrant infusion,
how shall they gain confidence again2 With
mistrust once engendered, can the same enjoy
ments ever be felt again at the breakfast
hour? Can the cup be passed the second time
without q secret dread that the poison it con-
tains, being cumulative, will, in addition to
that in the first cup, be a fatal quantitya 1t
is a problem which only time can solve.
However this may be, the outlook is not alto
gether reassuring. What with alum in the
bread, chalk in the milk, lard in the butter,
the strawberry crop short, and nothing but
coffee seasoned with arsenic to brace up on,
life, from a gastronOmic standpoint, hardly
seems worth living.

The Madison Star saws:

"'There is a special reason for rejoicing at
Keene's failure, for he ran the great wheat
corner in Chicago in 1879. He took his mill
ions to Chicago, cornered the wheat market
and run the price up nearly fifty cents a
bushel. He robbed every miller, and every
laboring man, and every man in the United
States who ate bread. Better men nave been
hung for lesser crimes than his in that wheat
deal. Wheat was exported from Chicago to
Europe for twenty-five cents a bushe1 less
than our millers could buy it at the elevator.
Keene lost money, and his downfall began
from that corner, and now the mills of the
gods have ground him out fne-sweet good
luck to his pulverized dust. If a merciful
Providence would now bust Gould and the
rest of the Wal street sharks it would be bet
ter for every honest business and every hon
est man in the land"
Justice seems to be catching up with Mr..
Gould, judging from the Supreme Court de-
cision yesterday in the Missouri Pacific case.

ever go into the reading-room of the Mercantile
Library without finding several nappers in the
chairs. One young man, the other day, fell into
such a deep sleep over a we'll edited magazine
that he slipped from his chair to the floor, to the
intense amusement of several spectators, and an
old gentleman gave vent to two or three snorts
SO loud and forcible that an employee rushed in
to see what was the matter. The profoundness
of an author frequently receives the tribute of a
gentle snore in these quiet precincts.

Arkansaw Traveller.
This country will not be a success until En-.
glish ed~itorial-writers pay more attention to
American politics. A staff correspondent of one
of the great London dalies visited this country
some time ago, and while in Arkansaw sent the
following letter to his journal: "Arkansaw is
situated between Memphis and San Francisco.
Its climate is mild in winter, but in summer, L
am told by an old inhabitant, is extremely cold.
The Governor of this State receives $500, 000a
year, which he spends mainly for the entertain
ment of his friends. 1 am much concerned in
American politics and never tire of studying the
situation. AT the present writing the country is
much stirred up about President Dorsey. He
went out on his sheep ranch somewhere in
Cleveland and has not been heard of since.
Should he never be found, Vice president Sam.
Tilden will be knighted in his place"

THE startling information has been tele-
graphed to Kentucky that a German farmer
named M. G. Peterman, living near Pi~ttsburg,
has discovered a process of solidifying whisky,
so that it may be made into plugs, similar in
size to tobacco plugs. Democratic politicians
will hail this discovery with unfeigned joy. The
loss from the breakage of bottles during ON
v%entions has been simply enormous, and has
seriously crippled the central committees cam
paign fund. Hereafter, in caucuses and commit
tee meetings, a ''dogleg," ''fg-leaf," or navy"
plug of solicited Kentucky whisky will be
handed to each member, and the business at
hand will be transacted as expeditiously and
accurately as may be possible with the talent
brought into use. The ultimate result would be
to increase the Democratic party's prospect for
success, did it mot also increase the danger of the
rank and file selling out at even lower rates than
50 each. But, viewing the discovery in all lights,
the great body of the Democracy will accept it
as a boon.

REV. CLARA NJ. BIsBEE, of the Church of

followers propose to follow the plan long pur-
sued by organ grinders, whose "unworded
music so ~effectually EFFORTS pennies from
those who are anxious to contribute in order
to get rid of the torture. 1t is a very neat
thing in religion.

THE New York dry-goods clerks want shops
boycotted that are open after 6P. NJ. In view
of the fact that dry-goods stores are kept open
after that hour solely for the accommodation
of the working classes who car not leave their
shops earlier, the movement will hardly sue
coed, because it does not deserve to. In
America, boycotting, to have even the shadow
of succeeding, must have some plausible NOV
ing cause.

entertain divergent views. In Philadelphia, for

"SHE will and she will not; she grants, denies,
Consents, retracts, advances and then flies"

kJAh WI 1h4 1HR WIN AtlN oAO - 0LAAoN aCAAAO9N
Consents, r~etracts, advances and then flies"
seems to be the motto adopted by the engaged
young woman this season. There is the Geor-
gia girl who says she cloves her love- with all
her heart, but takes to the woods, nevertheless,
when she sees the preacher coming TO the house
to perform the marriage ceremony. Then there
is the case of the Jeffersonville bride who fed
when the wedding feast was on the table; and
now comes another tale like unto these from the
wilds of Pennsylvania. Her lover drove with
her over hill and dale for fifteen miles until the
magistrate who was to make them one was
reached. After the usual inquiries and prelimi-
naries were gone through with, the squire asked
the couple to stand up before him. The young
man, equal to the occasion, promptly arose, but
the girl refused to do so, said she had changed
her mind and wanted to go home. The husband
who expected to be, used all his eloquence and
persuasive powers to induce her to change it
back, but to no purpose. Like the Georgia girl,
she admitted that she loved him, but had come
to the conclusion that she could not marry him.
Finally the lover ceased TO importune, put the
girl in the carriage and started homeward over
the long and weary fifteen miles. If he could
not succeed in winning her over with the oppor-
tunity thus given, his case is probably hopeless,

Base Ball and the Presidency.

NOW Iork sun.
The Chicago base ball nine lately io~urneyed to
Indianapolis and took the indianapolis nina
into camp by a score of 8 to 4. The Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks was one of the people whe
saw it done. The indianapolis boys had no
show, and if they should play all summer with
the young men from Chicago it is very likely
they wouldn't win a single game.
The only way that we can see for the Hoosiers
to get even will be to carry the day at Chicago
on the 6th of July by presenting before the con
vention the name of the winning candidate.
The question is whether to look for him within
the borders of Indiana or without.

Capitalization of government is the com
bining of several powers into one, the abau-
donment of a government by the many for a
government by the few. A fragrant act Of
Capitalization is when the Legislature deprives
a municipality of the right to elect its own
municipal officers and cOnfers upon the Gov

ga fragrant act of Capitalization, according
to this definition, is when a Legislature de-
prives a municipality of the right to control
