RESCUE oF THE MONITORS SURVIVORS.

RESCUE OF THE MONITORS SURVIVORS.
After a fearful and dangerous passage
over the frantic seas, we reached the Rhode
Island, which still had the tow-line caught
in her wheel and had d:ined perhaps two
mie;eto Ieeward. We came alongside under
the Ice how, where the first hoat, that had
left the Mentor nearly IN hour before, had
just discharged its men; but we found that
getting on board tho Rhode Island was y
harder task than getting from the Monitor.
We were carried by the sea from stem tc
stern, for tc have made fast would have
been fatal; the boat was bounding against
the ships sides; sometimes il was below the
wheel, and then Oil the summit OF a hinge
wave, far above the decks; then the two
boats would crash together; and oECe, while
Surgeon Weeks was holding on to the rail,
he lost his fingers by q collision which
swamped the other boat Lines We're threwn

The managers of the Wisconsin State
Musical Association extend a cordial invi-
tation to all singers in the state to take
part in it's festival to be held in Milwaukee,
commencing on the morning OF June16. 1t
is desirable to learn at as early a date as
possible the intentions of those who desire
to participate. Circulars and any iniorma-
ton about the convention will bepromptly
sent to all who correspond with the secre-
tary, Mrs. W. H. Starkweather, of Milwau-
kee. Low rates of railroad fare and free
entertainment as far as possible will
be secured for members. Since the issu-
ing Of the first circular the Thomas
Orchestra complete, with his celebrated
artists, Fursch-Madi, Frau Materna, Emma
Jueh, Clapper, Winch and Heinrich, have
been engaged, and will appear at the two
concerts of the association, and at a Satur-
day matinee given by the children of Mr.
Tomlins' class. Selections from Handel
will be rendered at the second concert, in
commemoration of his bi-centennial birth
day, and Will form a part of the study Of
the convention. The engagement of the
Thomas Orchestra is so recent that the
programme has not yet been decided upon.

A Good Cup of Coffee.

at IS one OF the simplest things in
the world" said Miss Corson in her
lecture yesterday afternoon, ''to make
a good cup of coffee, and this can east
ly be accomplished by applyinga little
common sense. If you put boiling
water on coffee, and do not let it boil"
she continued, "you have all the good
qualities preserved. One reason dys-
peptics cannot drink coffee is because
it is boiled. The style of coffee pot is
just matter of fancy. | have made
as good coffee in an old tomato can as
| have ever slipped from a cup filled
from the finest French coffee urn. We
should take lessons in this matter
from the Turks and Arabians who
grind their coffee to fine powder.
'When the coffee is ground as fine as
possible put it in q little bag OF un-
bleached muslin, which should be tied
tightly enough to prevent the escape of
the grounds. If you use a cup OF I'M
ground coffee you can make over a
quart of very strong, black coffee. In
making coffee many people sacrifice
flavor for strength. Bitterness comes
from boiling. When boiling water is
placed on the bag of ground coffee it
should stand at least three minutes
before serving. Remember, the longer
it stands the stronger it becomes. Be
careful not to allow the watered coffee
to boil
"a favorite mixture OF coffee" said
Miss Corson, in answer to lady in
the audience, sis Mocha and Java, in
the proportion of two parts ofthe lat
ter, which is less expensive, to one of
former. PHILADELPHIA News.
