CoFFEE.-The other day heard friend
discoursing learnedly upon coffee. and 1
took few mental notes of what he said.
Abyssinia, according to this authority, is
the home of the coffee plant and the place
where the use of the coffee bean was first
tested The early history of the discovery
of the valuable properties of the plant and
the introduction of the beverage 10 Europe
is lost, however, in the ms;s Of ages. 1t

leaves and berries of the coffee plant in.

animals after eating this sort Of fodder was

were always ready to investigate every
thing out of the common, and they found by
experience that the effect of the coffee ber-
ries upon themselves was precisely the same
rs that produced upon the goats. But the
legend is silent altogether as to who dis
covered the advantage of roasting the Der.
ries before converting them into the bever-
age to the use of which we are all more or
less addicted The Christians Of Abyssinia

the credit of being the first to prescribe
coffee to bis brethren, i'll order that they
should keep awake nights, aud say the

Now les the season of the shad,
When fishermen are jolly glad
And shekels to their treas'ry add
When boarders get them awful mad
AID utter words unlike "cgad'

The housewife looks her saddest sad
At eloquence of household dad"
When, wrestling with the o'ergrown scad,
lie stabs his thorax awful BAD
And when she sees her little lad
Ill pierre as with deadly brad
She wishes that for meal she'd had
Instead Of that couf,undsd shai

THE VIRGINIA IRON SHIPBuILDINa Co.
As stated in the GAZETTE, meetiog of the
stock holders of the Virginia Iron Shipbuild-
ing Company was held in this city yester-
day evening, but the business" transa cted
was strictly private and the only thing
given out, was that they had elected Mr..
Charles K. Moody, of Boston, secretary and
treasurer, and Messrs. Charles E. Moody,
D;ckermap, l. G. Burnham and E. O. Clark,
directors. II 10 known, however, that there
was lively contest during the meeting for
control between the two factions-tbe Goss
and anti Goss-and that at critical mo-
uent, City Sergeant Smith, who was con-
veniently on hand, was called into the 'star
chamber" and there served an inju notion on
Capt. Goss, president of the com pany, re-
straining him from voting upon the 500
shares or more OF stock which he held. The
Injunction was issued by Judge Meade and
made returnable before Judge K eth at
the May term of the Circuit Cour t. This
was '-tunner" to the Goss faction which
was thus left 10 the minority, where
upon the Captain and Mr. Emera on, the
secretary, left the meeting in huff Mr..
Emerson was then deposed and MI. Moo
dy elected secretary instead. The above
time II is said that this ction will be con-
tested by the Goss fact ION Oh the ground
that when the election " az held his being
excluded, a mnj GRITTY Of the stock was not
present or represented. 1t is also e,7orted
that the ground Of thu, Injunction pre- vent
ing Capt. Goss from voting on the stock be
held, Is that he camG into possession of ga III
stock illegally and without rendering any
equivalent therefor, either in money or SER
vices, and that he holds it under protest
and against the consent of those who have
invested mouey in the concern. It is known
that an expert accountant from Boston has
been here for the past week examining the
books and affairs o. the company, and that
feeling of general dissatisfaction and discon-
tent pervails among the stockholders, indi-
vidually and collectively, each trying to save
himself and prevent being left to hold the
bag" To say here that this feeling Of distrust
aud satisfaction towards the company is
shared by this community generally is gu
perhuous That the whole affair will be
thrown into the courts there seems to be
little doubt for already suit Is pending in
this city to attach the stock held by Capt.
Goss aud make it subject 10 debt, while
the suits which will be brought about by
Yesterdays proceedings are thought to be
nnumerable. The secresy attending the
affairs of this company have always given
rise to suspicion and adverse criticism,
aud it is thought by many that this is as
good time as any for the city to 'go in" and
yet the back rent, ground rent and taxes
due, and to repeal the act further exempt.
ing the property from taxation. That
there is no immediate prospect of the con-
pany commencing operations goes without
saying.
