Some facetious reply was made him,
much TO his disgust The command then
proceeded to the governments stables,
overpowered the watchmen and selected
the best horses.
AN UNoHALLENGED ESCAPE.
Strange TO say, they were again unchal-
lenged by the pickets as they won't
through the lines. Not q shot was fred
during the raid. The mischievous youth
behind whom Gen. Stoughton was
mounted could make his horse take any
gait he chose, and on this occasion he
selected hard trot, which shook that
officer, unaccustomed TO bareback aud
lack OF stirrups, nearly to pieces. In vain
he pleaded "For Gods sake, make this
cursed beast canter. This trot is excruci-
ating," but Kerfoot swore his horse was
natural trotter and didn't know how to
gallop. By the time the command had
passed Cub Run, on tho Warrentou pike,
the general, from the jolting aud wetting
in fording streams-and kerfoot chose
the deepest places-was in pitiaole con-
dition. Being now out of danger OF pur-
suit, Mosby gave his prisoner horse, and
treated him with duo consideration.
THE DIsMAY IN CAMP.
Tho next morning when the ranking
officer at Fairfax discovered what had
happened he was frantic with rage, and
ordered Mr.. Murray and oil the old mon
in the village to be arrested and confined
] in tho Jail. In the afternoon he directed
| that they should be marched to Washing
ton twenty miles distant), to be put In
the old capitol prison. So angry was he
that he utterly refused to provide any
transportation, and II it had not been for
the compassion Of two sutlors, who
offered to provide vehicles, these men,
some Of them over go years old, would
have been compelled to make the march.
Well. they were finally consigned to the
custody Of Col. William p. Wood, in the
old capitol, although they were no more
responsible for Mosby's raid than Prosi-
dent Lincoln himself After oil, however,
war is war THOMAS j. MURRAY

Tho other day heard friend dis
coursing learnedly upon coffee, and
took few mental notes of what he said.
Abyssinia, according 70 this authority, IS
tho homo OF the coffee plant and the
place where the use OF the coffee bean
was first tested. The early history Of tho
discovery Of the valuable properties Of
the plant and the introduction of the
beverage to Europe is lost, however. in
tho mists OF ages. IL was not intrusted
either to Ceres or a Bacchus
TO call the attention OF mankind
to this generous gift Of Damo Nature,
but. rather, according to an Arabian
saying, TO q goat herd whose hocks,
having grazed upon leaves and berries Of
the coffee plant, instead Of sleeping at
night, wero uncommonly frisky. The
unusual activity of the animals after
eating this sort Of fodder was brought
to the notice Of the monks, who were
always ready to investigate every
thing out of tho common, and
they found by experience that tho
effect of tho coffee berries upon them
selves was precisely the same as that pro-
duced upon the goats. But the legend is
silent altogether as 10 who discovered
the advantage OF roasting the berries be-
fore converting them into tho beverage
to tho use Of which we are all more or
less addicted. Tho Christians of Abys-
SANTA give to the prior Of Maronite mon
astery the credit OF being the first TO
prescribe coffee to his brethren. in order
that they should keep awake nights. and
say the proper number of prayers; but tho
Mohammedans, on the other hand, dis
pute the tradition and declare that tho
honor Of introducing the delectable drink
belongs to Nullah Chedelly, q devout
dervish, who taught its virtues to his col
leagues .-Erchdnge.

The Rnrkeen.r,s Desire.

The bRrkeeper laid down tho interest
ing account of the war in the Soudan he
had been reading as old Capt Butler
came rolling in for his regular eleven
o'clock" and reluctantly set out the de-
canter. Now, the captain has achieved a
widespread reputation for being long on
time and short on cash.
"You may put that down along 18th the

turned the glass and passed the back Of
his hand lightly across his eloquent lips,

dscontentedly growled tho barkeeper as
he rim sed out the glass.
"Inasmuch rs to wherefore" the cap'n
wondered. Because they allus takes a
large quantity of water?' he added, fa-
cetiously.

he wiped of the counter.
"Why, thenp
because they go twenty days without

And halt in shadow lies each one,
~ Slanting eastward falls the rays;
And quiet, and gentle haze
OF almost silence stills the boats
OF footsteps, and the noise allays
ON city streets.

To that sweet time when by their WAYS
My love passed on, nor did she shuu
MY eager meetings, or the gaLe
on heart In eyes; while time delays
The laden moments fun uf sweets
All, memory Il halo lays
ON city streets
on city streets 10 cloud shade dun
Obscurcs the day; its brightness plays
O'er all the scene; yet there begun
aud ended where this maiden stray,
A light see beyond the blaze

Me, and With all my Wdnd'ring stay,
ON city streets,
ON Sabhnths after prayer and praise
Though age draws on, the dear one meets
My steps Just from the old, old maze

TuE presidents of the great trunk
lines met in New York yesterday and
agreed 10 advance wcst-bound rates
The advances decided upon are on an
average of nearly fifty per cent over
the present rates The railroads are
very intimately connected with the
general business of the country. II is
true that when they inaugurate war
of rates the general public is for II time
benefited, but the actual results are
hurtful both TO the roads and business.
II has been held by wcll-informel buii-
ness men that the revival of ira L.
would not be well established until the
railroads came TO an understanding and
ceased warning upon each other, Ii
this is a correct diagnosis of the actual
condition, the advance in rates deter
mined upon is to be welcomed rather
than regretted. ThcroalS of the coun-
try generally are taking on more ami
cable relations with one another, to
continue how long of course no one can
tell, but it is to be hoped that the peace
will be permanent.
