The emancipation of twenty million

very unsettled state of affairs among the
Coffee Planters, and has the effect of
advancing the price of coffee which seems,
likely to reach still higher figures.
Before the advance we were SO fortun-
ate as to secure large lot of genuine
Mocha, o. G. Java, fancy Guatemala,
Maracaibo and fancy Rio Cofees, both
green and parched all of which we offer
at New York prices.

Mistaken.

The Hendersonville Times corrects (?)
the statement of the Rev. DR.. Carter that
I'VE have no mocking birds in our noun
tains" DR.. Carter is right and the Times
is wrong. The genuine mocking bird,
minus PolygEottus, is not found west of the
Blue Ridge, with very rare exceptions.
The only exceptions we have found in
very close observation from Buncombe
to Cherokee is here in Asheviile, where
pair is found every year in the vicinity
of the Episcopal church; and we have
heard of a Pair about the Merrimon place.
But there is no increase in their number.
The brown thrush, of the same family of
birds, is fine imitatiYe singer, with a
variety and richness of notes approach
ing those of the mocking bird, but is not
its ecssal This is often, but erraneously
called the mocking bird IN the
mountains.
DIR. Carter is right.
The Times says:
We are surprised to learn from the
above that Brother Carter has been so
carelessly observant of our feathered
songsters and beauties. These mountains
are favorite nesting-places for mocking-
birds, and large numbers of them enliv-
en- the woods and groves during the
summer months When the signs of
winter approach the birds wing their
way to warmer climates.

4 T0u6A STORY.
A Smokers Bitter Experience With a
Blizzard.

One of the coolest days recently
pedestrians on Clark street started
in amazemeEt at big man who
shuff1ed along apparently nearly
overcome with heat. He carried an
enormous coon-skin coat on his
arm, his big fur cap was pushed
back from his forehead, his coat
was unbuttoned, and the perspira-
ton stood in beads on his brow
He was looking anxiously at the
store windows as if in search OF
something that he'd got to have,
and have right off. Along about
Washington street he gave it up as
Il bad job, and tackled a shivering
Chicagoan who was hidden in Il fur
collar and was trying to keep from
freezing to death.
"Say, stranger he remarked
feebly, wiping his forehead with the
back of his hand, "kin ye steer me
onter something coolin'-soda wa
ter or sech like? I'm clean done up
with the heat"
The Chicagoan was too much as
tonished to reply, and stared blank
ly at the speaker.
What's the matter with this here
.lurn town, anyhow" continued the
dig man, taking off his cap and un-
buttoning his vest. "All the soda
water masheens is done up in tiss-
400 paper, and burned if l kin find
50 much as a drink Of ice water. /
.h'u'd think such hot weather ez-'
Hot weather broke in the
,ther man, ''for the Lords sake,
man, it's five below!'
Gosh /! is it hot as that" said the
zig man, mopping his face and
moving into the shade.
"Where'd you come from, any
vay?" asked the Chicago man in
IN awed voice.
"Dakota-an' in the last blizzard
I wuz-"
ooh, see," said the Chicagoan,
been pretty cold up your way
ately, and you amt used to ON
mild climate"
That's it, that's it, responded
he Dakota man, drawing himself
~ with conscious pride. 'Why
the last blizzard 'twuz so cold /
iidn'th..ve Il smoke for near a week. >
"How's that?' asked his hearer

,ng?"
"Oh, no; but it took steam

A Bilious Outlook.

A prominent ex-member OF the
Texas Legislature, who is simultane.
ously a chronic inebriate, entered
the office of an Austin doctor, who
is remarkable for his candor.
"What can / do for you to-day
Colonel?"
"I'm suffering from biliousness.
eyes, you look bilious"
"What would you advise me to
do for it, doctor?"
"Quit drinking whisky"
"But if l quit I'll collapse right
off,"
''Certainly."
"Well then. it don't seem to me
that it makes much difference what
/ do. If keep on drinking Ill be
bilious as long as l live. and if
quit I'll be bilious until | die. II
that isn't bilious outlook for me
I'll give it up-Texas Siftings.

within forty-eight hours the fellow
who had been the laughing-stock
of the regiment was promoted for
gallantry in the field.
WANTED HIS BATH.

The wife of a western congress-
man, quite we'll known in the house,
has cozy little apartment, and in
the dining-room-she has three
rooms in all-is curious looking
settee, or sofa, which has often at
tracted the attention of her visitors.
1t looks like a large box covered
with imitation Indian Goth. 1t has
figures and plenty of gold thread
running through it, while the top is
tuft, and makes rather soft seat.
She had some guests to tea the
other evening, and one of them re-
mained later than the others. The
gust was seated on the sofa, slipping
a glass of wine, talking to the con-
gresham and his wife, when the
door suddenly opened and an ap-
partition appeared on the threshold.
1t was the 6-year-old child of the
member from the west. The boy
was arrayed in his night clothes,
and carried over one arm rough
bath towel, while under the other
he had snugly tucked away large
sponge. In one hand he held a
cake of soap, and the other hand
grabbed the knob of the door. His
mother gave an exclamation of sur
prise when she beheld him, but be-
fore she could say anything the
enfant terrible shouted out:
Il say, Mr.. JONES'" thus address
ing the stranger, "how much longer
are you going to stay? l have been
waiting here for the last hour for
you to 60 home, so l can take my
bath. Do you know you are sitting
on the bath tub, and l cannot get
in until you go homer"
The scene that followed can be
imagined. The gentleman soon
after left. The boy, being in a very
convenient costume, had a sound
spanking, while his mother lifted
the top off the curious-looking sofa
and displayed inside the zinc-lined
bathtub, spigots and all complete.
The guest gave the joke away, and
now the member swears that the
next time he entertains he will hire
house if it takes all his salary.
He has had enough of this mechan-
ical furniture, and especially bath
tubs hidden in sofas.-Baltimore
American.

An Interesting and Scientific Fact

A few years ago call was issued
from London, England, to the sci
entists of the world to assemble for
the discussion Of whatever scientific
subjects might be presented, every
statement to undergo most rigld
scrutiny. One member said: TO.
oacco is not injurious. | have
chewed it for fifty years, and m
father Tor sixty years, without per-
cep,ible damage. All this hue ano
cry about it is nonsense" The
actuary answered: "Step forward
sir, and let US canvass this matter
thoroughly. How much do you
chew?" II chew regularly three
quids per day, of about this size,
cutting them from his plug. One
was given to a Russian and another
to a French chemist, with please
return their extracts" Then the
actuary said: "WiIl any young
man, unaccusto4ned to the use OF
tobacco chew this third quid before
the audience? Here is 500 to any
one who will" A young snan step
ped forward. The audience was re-
ouested to scan his looks-cheeks
ewes and general appearance-be'
fore he took it and closely watch
it's effects. He soon became pale
from sickness, then vomited and
soon tainted before the assembly
The extract of one quid was given
to a powerful tomcat. he flew
wildly round and then and there
died The other extract was pu'
upon the tongue Of a prernlun, oos
