SNYDER ABDUCTION CASE.
Bridegroom Snyder Bound Over at Deni-
son-A Judge Criticised-Public
Sympathy with Snyder.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
DENIsoN, GRAYsoN COUNTY, TEX, June
1.-THE Snyder abduction case, which has
been in progress before Justice Hughes for
the past three days, was temporarily ended
this morning, and the defendant, Joe Sny-
der, was bound over in the sum of $500 for
his appearance before the grand jury.
There is considerable sympathy for Snyder
and his young wife, to whom he was mar
ried last Friday at Gretna Green. He read
lily gave the required bond, as many re-
sponsible citizens volunteered to go on his
bond through sympathy. He anticipates no
trouble of a prompt acquttal before jury
on final trial.
Justice Hughes is very generally crit
icised for his stand in binding the de-
PENDANT over.
Snyder and wife continue to live together,
and insist on their marriage being legal,
Notwithstanding the opposition of the lady's
father.

Fined His Own Mother.

Gen. Dan Macauley was at ono time
mayor of indianapolis, and in those
early days petty offenders against the
municipal laws were brought before
the mayor, who passed sentence upon
them according to their faults. There
was a very strict city ordinance
against fast driving, which had been
disregarded so steadily that it grew to
be matter of common complaint, and
special instructions were given to the
officers TO keep an eye upon offenders
aud for time great part of the ju-
dicial business of the mayor was the
consideration of charges of fast div.
ing.
Gen. Macauley's mother was very
spry old lady, who was much inter-
ested in horscfesh, and who drove one
of the fastest horses in indianapolis.
One day she came down one of the
city's principal streets in her buggy,
driving this horse at a rate which cx-
oeeded the regulation, aud special
officer placed her under arrest. Next
morning she was brought before the
mayor with the other offenders. Gen.
Macauley locked up and caught sight
OF bis mother under the vigilant es-
cort of policeman. lie showed no
sign Of special interest in the ease,
AMI when he got TO it on the regular
list ho said TO the officer: "What is
the charger"
1hs officer related the circumstances
under which he had arrested Mrs.
MacaHley. Turning to his mother,
Gen. Atacaulcy said; ''lIavc you any
thing 20 say?"
enc" said the old lady.
"Tcn dollars" said the mayor, and
went on to the next case. Mrs. Mac
auley paid her fine of $40 without
comment. = indianapolis Journal.

BrAzil's Coffee Industry.

Coffee is the product on which the
prosperity of Brazil chiefly depends.
The plant was originally obtained
from Africa, and il found in the eli
mate and soil to which it was trans
planted the conditions necessary for
marvellous growth. In 1870 Brazil
exported - bags OF coffee; last year
she sent abroad 5000, 900 bags of 1872
pounds each. OF this quantity the
United States buys as much as is sold
TO all Europe. For the cultivation of
the berry virgin forest lands are pre-
fcrred The latter arc cleared of trees
and brushwood by burning, and the
roots and stumps are left to natural
decay. The plants arc raised from
seeds and planted when one year old
in holes dug for their reception. At
the end of four years they begin to
produce, reaching their maximum of
bearing at nine years and continuing
to be fruitful for forty years. There
are three crops annually. The berries
are gathered in baskets and either
spread ont TO dry in the sun or sub
jected for the same purpose TO artifi-
cial heat in pans. Machinery sepa-
rates the outer shells and inner husks
from the beans, and the coff3e is then
ready for market. Its quality is
greatly improved by age. From the
same crop are obtained Mocha, Java
and other varieties which figure in the
market reports. The grades are as
sorted in Rio dc Janeiro and in New
York and Brooklyn. The beans of
different sizes and weights are sep
arated mechanically and are sold as
Mocha, Java, etc., according to the
taste or gullibility of the consumer
For the benefit of those who know no
better the light and spotted beans are
dyed to beautiful green, which is
easily washed off in warm water.
Probably not a ton of real Mocha
enters the United States annually
