An Interesting Description of How the
Berry is Prepared For Market.

VALE DEL AGUACATE, CUBA, June 4,
1888. -From an earnest study of the sub
iect during this visit to, and in previous
periods of travel IN, Cuba, | believe that
one-half of the entire southern slope of
the island is cultivable as the finest coffee
lands in the world. If but one.third should
be so, that would equal 5000 square
miles, or over five million acres. Suppos-
ing the United States owned Cuba. After
one billion dollars in valuable commercial
woods had been cleared and sold, note its
value for coffee culture. One acre of
land will sustain an average growth of 400
coffee trees. 4 low estimate OF the an
nual yield would be n pound of market
able coffee per tree, or 400 pounds per
acre. That would equal a possible annual
yield of one billion pounds, or 500, 900
tons-but 100, 900 tons less than the an
nual production of coffee in all countries,
and nearly three times the amount annu-
ally consumed in the United States! This
is no dream. 1t is far more possible I'M
der United States ownership of Cuba than
that the $50, 900 odd square miles of Da-
kOta, which in 1868 was regarded by good
authorities as valueless desert land should
within two decades become the vast and
~exhaustless granary Of a nation.
All natural conditions i~avuring precisely
this stupendous development exist within
the region described. Just such q vast
area, not a Tooth part OF it under ~cultiva-
ton to-day, lies a. the proper altitude,
from 1000 to 1900 feet above the sea.
Soil, climate, protection from chilling
winds, are all properly provided. An ex-
haustless vegetable soil of from ten to
thirty six feet as in the Guines valley.
covers the entire area. The climate is
more perfect for coffee culture han in the
famed Arabian wales of Yemen. No
chilling winds cross the central Cuban

STURDY OLD

OIChD1 OLD III
There is the old-tlme ring to the voice
of Senator Thurman. Those who think
him too old to bear the brunt OF a fierce
political campaign will still find him capa-
BILE of dealing sledge hammer blows. The
speech which he delivered to his friends
on their return from St. Louis shows the
old-time spirit. After a little preliminary
by-play he said: You know, gentlemen
of the Ohio delegation, that when you
were kind enough to call on me before
you went to st, Louis | told you-and
God knows it wa the honest truth-that
l did not van the nomination; that what
L wanted was peace and quiet. But that
it wa impossible for me to say that |
would not refuse a nomination, for that
therefore, surrounded with these Difficult
ties, | could conceive OF no other way, no
other solution than to place myself in
your hands and | did so freely, honestly
and fairly, loyalty trusting that you would
take care of my honor as well as the in
terests Of the Democratic party.
Now, gentlemen, | do not undertake
to speak for myself and say that you have
done fairly and honorably and u~prightly
by me, and as long as | live ! shall al
ways bear towards you a grateful heart
and pleasant recollection.
Gentlemen, | thank you for your eff
forts. l thank you for what you have
done, and whether / shall be successful or
not. there is one thing of which l cannot
be deprived, and that is the qualification
of knowing hat | have the good will Of
the people of my state, and not only the
good will OF the people of Ohio, but of
the people, | think, of the United States.
CONTINUED applause. But l have an
other word to say before | stop, and that
is this: There has scarcely ever hap
pened in the history Of this world a sub.
Inner spectacle bar the denomination of
Grover Cleveland by the unanimous voice
of the convention. And now | say you
did n wise thing, a patriotic thing, in that
the people Of the United States love
brave men, and Cleveland is a brave man.
They love an honest man, and God knows
he is an honest man. They love a man
of sound Judgment, and | do not know
any man Of sounder judgment than his.
They love a man who stands up for the
people. who stands up for principle and
does not fear to take the consequences,
and such a man is Grover Cleveland.
Gentlemen, it will be an honor to every
man of the st. Louis convention as long
as he lives that he was there to cast his
vote for this worthy president OF the
the United States. Now thank you and
will bid you good night"

A FEW days ago The LEADER men
toned ON the authority ola Union Pacific
conductor that the uniforms of the Lara
mic Grays fitted the individual members
of that %sanguinary organization like a
paper sack on a beer bottle. The Boomer
dag grows indignant over the comparison,
1t says:
THE fact is that the Laramie Grays
have the neatest and most elegant uni
forms and are the best equipped national
guards west of the Mississippi river. Their
suits were made to order and fit like a kid
glove on the hand of a duchess. More
over, a finer looking body of men would
be hard to pick up, and if the Cheyenne
folks can trot u a company that will
beat Co. A in any respect we shall be the
first to give them credit for it."
1t is our opinion that Laramie will
have to take a back seat on the military
organization question. Cheyenne has de-
cided to take the cake and will turn out
such a CORY lot OF warriors as will make
the Laramie Grays turn green with envy.

tranco-German war; near the window on
the lefthand side is another smaller DESK
and near the door leading to the corridor
are two heavy bookcases. Two corners are
occupied by open firepaces. with broad,
clumsy mirrors; along the walls are ranged
about dozen chairs; in the inches between
the three windows stand two plaster god
Gesses of Victory. That is the appearance
of the room in which Count Won Moltke has
since the late war been silently but indie
fatigably working for the thoroughness of
the army, its officers. in war and in peace,
and for the glory of the empire. At
tle little desk near the window he has
often sat till late into the night by the light
of simple gas lamp. A few souvenirs of
his old emperor have their place on it;
among them, fastened to a piece Of card
board, is twig of laurel, and below it the
mournful date of March 9, 1885, 1t was
given to him by the Empress Augusta from
the first wreath which was laid down beside
the dead emperor. There is also a small
water color sketch of the mausoleum in the
park, at Kreisau, which Won Moltke himself
designed, and which, whenever he arrives
at his country seat, he visits every evening.
Above the desks hangs another picture Of
his wife. half-covered with a palm
branch. 1t is in this room the
staff officers are received. Standing
in front Of the fireplace, leaning lightly
against the larger desk, or slowly walking
TO and fro, Won Moltke listens to their re
ports, never interrupting, but now and
then nodding or shaking mis- head. But it
is not only official business which is trans
acted in this ROOM The field marshal's cor
respondence is enormous; petitions from all
sorts and conditions of men are sent to him,
and to each and all of his correspondents he
tries to reply. To this must be added his
great amount of work for benevolent insti-
buttons and societies, the management of
his estate, his jealous work in the reichstag
and his very extensive private correspond
ence. Thus it will be easily understood that
he is very much tied to his room, which he
mostly leaves only late in the afternoon,

Won MOLTKE AT HOME.
The Two / ooms in Which He Spends
Most of His Life.
From tho KoInische Zeitung

From tho KoLnische Zeitung.
Since his return from the Franco German
war, Won Moltke has had his home in the
official buildings of the general staff of the
army, on the Koenigsplatz, at Berlin, where
the chief of the staff has large residence,
with thirty windows facing the Koenigs-
platz and the Moltke strasse. The Empress
Frederick herself, at that time crown
princess of Germany, undertook the super
vision of the decorative arrangements, and
her excellent taste is especially visible in
the white music room, where the gray
headed leader often listens to excellent
classical music, and the adjoining small
smoking room, in the Moorish niche of
which the field marshal often rests, silent
and attentive, smoking his cigar. But of
all the large number of apartments he only
uses two rooms, whose classical simplicity
and the excellent workmanship of the tur
niture reflect the character of the man.
A beautiful staircase leads up from the
main entrance on the Koenigsplatz to the
corridor of the first floor, on one side of
which are Won Moltke's private apart nents,
while the officers take up the other side.
In the center is the double door Of the field
fnarshars private Office; over it the motto
"Candide ct Caute" is engraved To the
right of this room is Won Moltke's bedroom,
which has only one window, while the office

green of the Thiergarten. The bedroom
contains very simple bed in ono corner;
near it a washstand such as may be seen in
any midle-class household. On the opposite
wall are some wardrobes of dark oak, a few
chairs, and in the center of the wall the
only ornament-a large photograph of the
Field Marshals wife. Under it hangs a
smaller picture representing the lady's mon
ument at Kreisau, where Won Moltke also
wishes to be buried. Both pictures are or
namented with a dried wreath and palm
branches, which Moltke reuews every year
on the date Of his wife's death, who died on
