A Cup of Good Coffee.

a pot of good coffee. There are as many

Many people stick to the conclusion that
coffee should always be boiled in the old
fashioned way, while others are sure that
stepping it is the only true way.
There is no doubt but that the manner of
making coffee has great deal to do with the
appearance and flavor of the liquid, but a
great deal depends on the brand that Is used

able houses in London, and is famous for its
good beds, for the only daughter of Alexan-
der II Of Russia is, like many Muscovite ladies,
very particular about her beds and will toll
crate none but the very best. Even when a
mere child, and long before her marriage,
she was so particular about this very impor-
tant item in domestic comfort that, to insure
the sheets being tightly stretched over the
mattress, she used to have them sewn down,
for even the slightest crease or wrinkle would
entirely destroy the repose of this imperial
Spoilt child for the night.

ed about this weakness by members of our
royal family when first she came to this coun-

though now the sheets are no longer sewn
down to the mattress, they are composed of

making of mattresses has been brought up to

A curious and amusing chapter might in

as particular about her beds as the Duchess
of Edinburgh or our gracious sovereign and
quite agrees with the first named lady as to
the fineneSs OF the linen and the tightneSs of
the drawing of the sheets, but her imperial
ma jesty has an odd fancy to have her bed so
low as to give a visitor to the imperial bed

indeed, hardly elevated more than a foot

THE EDrroR's ADDRESS TO HIS ARAB.

THE EDITORS ADDRESS To HIS ARAB.
Oh Arab who CONTEST from desert sand
Where glows the tropical sun,
Instruct this benighted and ignorant land
How everything ought to be done.
Thou pratest profusely as mortal could
ask,
And thy words flow on like the sea.
-Four columns a day are no more of task
Than ''stick fulP' would be 10 me.
Thy wit is quite short, but thy ears are
quite long,
And thy mOdesty taketh a rest.
Ii thy logic does not seem especially
strong
We know thou art doing thy best.
Thy brain is Of mush, but thy cheek is Of
brass,
As everybody can see.
That thou art a most charming defect
able ass,
All sensible people agree.
Thou hast buried the Ministry clean out
OF sight,
And that horrid NJ. D. is no more,
While the organ" is left in the desperate
plight
OF a battered old hulk on the shore.
To be sure they seem quite unaware OF
! the fact,
And are lively as any young flea.
That dead people don't know the way
] they should act
/ Is great disappointment to me.
Fight on cheeky Arab. with might and
with main,
For the prize is the government sway.
If once killing don't answer, just kill
them again,
And bounce them by sheer force OF brag
So don't flee away to thy own desert sand
Nor climb up a cOcOanua tree,
Nor crawl into hole in this mountain
Gus land,
And pull in the hole after thee.
Whoop 'er up son of IskmaeI, whoop 'el
up fine,
And when I get top Of the heap
Perhaps FL remember this racket o
thine,
And perhaps I'll say, nixey-talk'
cheap"

VICTORIA.

Victoria takes precedence of all the
other colonies in the enormous IN
crease in her revenue in spite Of the
bad season she has lately gone
through. At the end Of the financial
year it is estimated that her revenue
will be over 100000 in excess OF ex-
penditure which is almost unparal-
leled in colonies whose expenditure
on public works is necessarily SO
great as in those Of Australia where
so much of the country IS as yet
undevelOped. This satisfactory re-
suit is attributable no doubt IN a
great measure to the Exhibition
held in Melbourne in honor of the
centenary of the founding of the
first Australian colony. This Elk
hibition, the arrangements for which
have been carried out on a lavish
scale, has filled the capital Of Vic
toria with visitors from all parts OF
the world for the greater part Of the
year, and though it is estimated that
there will actually be pecuniary
loss on the Exhibition itself, never
theless the corresponding increase
to the revenue, and the amount Of
extra money put into circulation in
Melbourne and its suburbs, will
more than counterbalance it. A
Gland BOOM" probably the outcome
of the general prosperity, set in some
time ago, and landed property Of all
kinds was readily bought and sold
at high prices, bat the 'boom" has
now somewhat abated, as the iueyi-
table reaction is slowly but surely
setting in.

The town of Coronado, which
covers a good portion of peninsula
directly opposite San Diego, is less
than two years old, but within that
time the barren stretch of land, Dor
dered by aH ideal beach, has devel-
oped in manner to deeply over

Branch or a Cape May Long

,.llas, handsome cottages and costly
mansions, with intervening parks
laid out in the highest order of the
landscape gardeners art. They are
beautifully ornamented with the
flowers and shrubs characteristic of
both the temperate and the trOpic
climates. Artistically designed
churches, a schoolhouse, fine blocks
of business structures, and several
desirable manufacturing establish
ments are also here. The Hotel del
Coronado is on the southeastern pOr-
ton of a beautiful mesa slOping
toward the ocean on one side ana the
bay of San Diego on the other. The
building occupies considerably more
than seven and a half acres of
ground. It is said to be the largest
hotel in the world. It IS built around
a quadrangular court of $50 by 80
feet, with wide verandas, over two
and a half miles IN length, which
stretch along the entire length of its
four sides. The court is In itself a
marvel. 1t is laid out as a
sort of park, the sun having
full play upon a profusion of rare
exotics and brightly illuminate
ing handsome statuary and the
sparkling waters Of an elaborate
fountain. It is planted with many
| beautiful varieties of ornamental
! shrubs and trees and of delicate
tropical productions. Throughout,
the huge building Is only two rooms

upon the court, while the others
front either upon the ocean or on

HARRISON ON BLAINE.

The next steamer mail from the
coast will bring us President Har
rison's inaugural address and the
make up of the new cabinet. Mean
while, the point concerning the
latter which seems most generally
accepted, is that Mr.. Blaine will be
at the head of the department OF
foreign affairs. This Is the featurr
In the composition Of the new al
ministration which we OF the Ha-
waiian Islands are most deeply in1
terested in at the present time. Mr.
Blaine being a gentleman of posi-
tive qualities, enthusiastically adj
mired and praised 10y his friends,
and bitterly hated aud denounced
by his enemies, the following express
sion of opinion from a speech made
by General Harrison in 1884, when
Mr.. Blaine was a candidate for the
Presidency, is interesting and sug-
gestive:
Some timid people fear that Mr..
Blaine will involve the country in war.
Some over-cautlous business men affect
to believe that the even current OF their
money-gettiug will be disturbed by the
aggressive foreign policy which they
suppose he would inaugurate. My fel-
low-citizens, no one has ever accused
Blaine of being fool. He has some
ideas upon foreign affairs, and l am glad
of it-they are rare. My countrymen,
have digressed little in this talk about
Mr.. Blaine's foreign policy. Neither he
nor we propose any policy that shall i'm
peril the quiet OF this country, unless,
having exhausted every peaceful meas
ure, there should remain no other re-
course but war. Bot when that issue
comes the patriotic, brave hearts of his
countrymen will respond that the dig
nifty and the honor of the country and
the safety of her citizens must be main
tanned even ii the mOney-getters suffer
temporary interruption.
One matter of the American policy
which greatly concerns both ou1
convenience and our commercial in
terests, is the assisting of American
steamship lines to make frequent
trips to foreign ports, by liberal
compensation for carrying the mails
General Harrison said in speech
In Indiana in 1886:
] want to see enough revenue saved tc
help put some American steamship lines
on the sea. Every important nation O
the Old World subsidies some of the
great steamship lines that ply between
it's ports and the ports of foreign coun-
tries, either directly or by liberal pay fol
carrying the mail.
Taking into account all the indica
tions afforded by Harrison's former
speeches, his publicly expressed
opinions on public affairs, and bis
record as Senator, which is entirely
consistent Herewith, we are conf
dent that the result of the choice
made by the American people in
November last will be found to be
favorable to the material and poll
tical interests of the Hawaiian archi-
pelago.
