When John Brown first entered the
service of Prince Albert, the little prin-
cess hearing their father address him as
Brown" used the same form in speak
ing to him. The Queen corrected them,
and they all addressed him as 'Mr.
Brown" excepting the Princess Louise,
who, imperious in childhood, persisted
in her right to use the name as her
father did. One morning the Queen
heard her and informed her that if she
again addressed Mr. Brown without a
handle to his name she would be sent to
bed. The next day when Brown ap-
peared, the future marchioness said:
Good morning, Brown" and then she
added, Good night, Brown, for I am
going to bed"

Discovery of Coffee

Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century a poor Arab was travelling
through Abyssinia, and finding himself
very weak and weary from fatigue, he
stopped near grove. Then being in
want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut
down a tree covered with dead berries.
The meal being cooked and eaten, the
traveller discovered that the half burn
ed berries were very fragrant. He col
lected a number of these, and on crush
ing them with a stone. he found their
aroma increased to a great extent. While
wondering at this he accidentally let fall
the substance in a can which contained
small supply of water Lo, what mi
racle! The almost putrid liquid was in
stantly purified. He brought it to his
lips; it was agreeable, and in few mo-
ments after the traveller had so far re.
covered his strength and energy as to be
able to resume his journey. The lucky
Arab gathered as many of the berries as
he could carry, and having arrived at
Alden, in Arabia, he informed the Mufti
of his discovery The worthy divine
was an inveIterate opium smoker, who
had been suffering for years from the
influence of the poisonous drug, He
tried an infusion of the berries. ard was
SO delighted with the recovery of his
own vigor, that in gratitude to the tree
he called it calnah, which means force.
And this IS the way coffee was diseov-
cred.

A Salt Road-Bed.

There is vast bed of rock salt in the
Colorado desert, near Idaho, and the
Southern Pacific railroad in laying the
track to the salt mine has been obliged
to grade the road for twelve hundred
feet with blocks of these beautiful
Jumps of salt crystals. This is the first
instance of railroad road-bed being
laid and ballasted on salt, of which we
have any knowledge. The sea that once
rolled over this place dried up, and left
vast bed of salt about fifty miles in
length. The quality is superb, and
supply inexhaustible. Grasshoppers of
enormous size and giant ccntipedes
have been picked in this chloride of
sodium, and are to-day, after the lapse
of centuries, in full size and perfection
of shape. This vast salt-bed will be
valuable to the reducers of ore in Cali
fornia, Arizona, and New Mexico, and
can be supplied in boundless quanti-
ties. Cheyenne Cor. Boston Courier.

He Drank His Victims Blood.

Last week Jas. Brown, a Portuguese negro,
was removed from the Massachusetts, State
Prison to the Government Insane Asylum at
Washington. d. C. He has tenanted a solitary
cell in that prison for the last 20 years, having
been convicted of numbering his Captain at sea.
The circumstances of the killing were of the
most atrocous and revolving nature, the muir
derer drinking the warm blood of his victim as
it oozed from the cloven skull. He was at first
sentenced to death, but that sentence was SUBJ
sequently committed to Imprisonment for life,
and since that time he has committed no less
than 26 murderous assaults upon his fellow
prisoners and the Jail officials. All efforts to
tame him failed, and for many years past no
human beings have ventured within the graf
ing of his door. Visitors who have curiously
peered into the iron room have instinctively
likened him to a tiger in a menagerie, for his
blood thirsty eyes and constant pacing back
and forth has made this comparison most fit
ting. The prison officials are very much re-
leved to get this unpleasant charge off their
hands. On the journey to Washington the in
sane murderer was closely ironed, and in ad-
dition his arms were pinioned behind him. A
close watch was also kept of every motion lest
his murderous propensity should find an oppor-
tunity for exercise.

A W0man's Hatred.

In the latter part of May last John Holm
ger, living near Waynesboro, Franklin Co.,
Pa, was shot dead at midnight, during fight
with three men in his yard. Three young
men living near the Hollinger place were ar
rested for the crime, it being supposed that an
attempt at theft on their part brought on the
fracas 1t has since transpired that the three
persons under arrest are really the slayers Of
Hollinger, but that the motives which prompt
ed the deed are very different to what was at
first supposed. 1t appears that young Holm
ger had wronged girl named Alice Freeman,
who lived within a short distance of his home
and had driven her to desperation by marry
ing another lady. The injured girl told her
story to her brothers and Henry Ressler, who
was suitor for her hand, and thus melted the
men to commit the deed. Two attempts have
been made to lynch the prisoners

A Church Riaf

For long time there has been serious trouble
in the Polish Catholic Church, at Toledo, o.,
between the priest and his followers and a fac
tion which was opposed to him. Over year
ago, in row growing out of this trouble, a
man was killed. A few days ago an attempt
was made to blow up the church building with
dynamite. On the 2Sth ult. the trouble cul-
minated in a general riot, in which firearms
and all manner of weapons were freely used.
Two men were killed and several injured. while
quite a number of houses were partially or en-
tirely destroyed. The police have made large
number of arrests, and an extra force is sta
toned on the ground to prevent another out

An Unenuected Cure.

The Western Medical Reporter says that a

wished to get rid of him by as painless death
as possible, and gave him 40 grains of NOR
phine. Having made preparations for the fun
eral, the grocer proceeded to the stable, where,
to his astonishment, he found the horse in ex
cellent spirits and eating his oats with his
former habitual haste, so as to be ready for the
early trip to market Opium is said to have
been used successfully in India for many years
in relieving horses from the consequences Of
old age and overwork.

A Price Set on a Bears Scalp.

Four years since monster grizzly bear COM
menced depredating the stock ranches 90 miles
south of Ashland, Ore. He would descend
from the fastnesses of the Rogue River Noun
tains whenever his appetite might prompt him
to do So and perpetrate wholesale slaughter on
the horses, sheep and hogs of the ranchmen.
During these years the ranchmen have planted
half dozen Winchester balls in his carcass, but
still he refuses to succumb.
About year since the grizzly walked of,
leaving good piece of his foot in a huge trap,
cautiously prepared for him in thicket. Since
then he has had gait peculiarly his own, and
the wary huntsmen who have occasionally
caught sight of him, but could not bring him
down, have given him the name of Grizzly
Reelfoot.
Last week he ambcd down to Howard's Sta
tion, on the Oregon Idaho and California stage
line, and, breaking the back Of a two-year-old
steer, sat upon him, and ate him for lunch.
This exasperated more than ever the ranch
men, who had on divers occasions been forced
to beat hasty retreats when coming unexpect-
edly upon him. They raised purse of $3.50
for the Nimrod who would bring in the grizzly's
scalp. Some noted bear hunters including Jim
Wilson, Harry Woodburn, Charley Taylor aud
others, with trained dogs. are now in search of
him in his mountain resorts. His tracks meas
ure Ia inches each, and when he descends the
hills through the underbrush he is said to
thrash the ground like a cyclone. His bulk is
gigantic Many aver that he does not weigh
an ounce less than thousand pounds. He is
an ugly, vicious brute, and, unless the hunters
get him, the chances are even that he will get
them.

The Course of True Love.

Julia Blachte, the landlady of a 'longshore-
mans boarding house at Constable Hope, N. j.,
became infatuated with one of her boarders,
Korik Tennerz Hungarian. 1t seems that
Julia made love in most unmistakable terms to
her boarder, and capped the climax a few days
ago by proposing marriage to him. He told
her as kindly as he could that he entertained
the highest feeling of regard for her, but that
he had left sweetheart in the old country,
whom he intended to marry as soon as he could
raise sufficient funds for her passage to this
country. This frank avowal on the part of
Korik evidently did not fill Julia's heart with
joy, for on the morning afterwards she entered
his bedroom before he arose and poured kettle
of boiling water over him, scalding the unfor-
tunate man in the most horrible manner about
the face, neck and arms. The woman was ar
rested and held for the action of the grand
Jury.
