And all its goodly company :

And father—well, he's gone, dear,
But many a word he said,
That sober, ne'er had held the

But this old book held balm to heal
The sorest wounds the heart

And s 0 some folks are trying

THE COFFEE BOOM
Why the Cheering Cup will Cost
$120,000,000 More this Year
Than Ever Before.
Nashville American. ]
TaE CorFee ExcHANG, NEw
York, June 2.—Coffee is higher
than it has ever bheen before for
and considerable period. The cots
fee situation, therefore, is inter
esting, not to say serious. Gamb.
ling in it is just now wilder than in
any stocks or in any other produce
The price has advanced 100 per
cent, in a year; and, if the lowest
and highest prices are taken, 150 per
cent. Ifithe present situation con
tinues, the coffee drinkers in the
United States will pay $850,000,-
000 more for it than they paid
in 1885, and 860,000,000 more
than they paid in 1882. The rise
price is, therefore. equal to the im«
position of about $1 on every man,
woman and child (whether coffee
driukers or not) in the country,
And if the movement upward con
tinuescoflee will pass out of the
daily use of the people and becorae
a luxury,
The cause of this startling ad
vance in price is three-fold. The
consumption has increased much
more rapily than the supply. In
1867 the consumtion per capita
was 4,77 pounds in 1873, the first
yearafter it was put on the free
list it was 9,67; in 1884 it wae 9,-
59, and it has increased. The
The range ot prices bas been for
fair Rio, in 1860,13 cents; in 1870,
10to 11} cents; in 1880, 14 to 14}
cents; May of last year, 19} cents;
pow it is about 22 cents,
Another cause is the chance giv
en for gambling by the necessary
lack ot trustworthy crop reports.
Thero is g 0 concerted nowy gath.

‘ering in inland Brazil,
‘ The third cause is estimated
shortnest of the crop in Brasil,
‘which has now just been gaihered
tand will begin to arrive about
July.l. The Brazil crop is utim.-i
ted at from 2,250,000 to 4,500,000
. |
lhqn. The expectation » year ago
#ne a erop of from” 5,000,000 to
1,000,000 bmgs from Brazil will
ikeep prices where they now are,
The erop in Java also is short,
'ln Ceylon the leat disesse has re~
‘duced the production by at least
ove half* Thue the supply of the
very best coffee is sure to be smalls
er for this year than it has been
for a generation.
To-day the highest figures
are paid for Mysore coffee, and it is
considered the best grown. Mysore
iva part of upper British India,
and the cultivation of the berry is
entirely under the European cone
trol. Thus far the leuf disease
which has spread such havoe in
Javaand Ceylon, has left British
: India alone; but bow lovg it will
dosoitis hard to eay. All at
tempts to grapple with this disease
have proved fruitless.and if it ever
puts in its appearance in Brazil
the days of coffee drinking will be
numbered. There are those who
believe that unless the leaf disease
can be gravpled with successfully,
it is only a question of time when
a cup of of coffee will be as great a
luxury as a bottle of champagne.
Whether or not the juice will
be maintained at so high a figure
will depend much on the future
of speculation. The ouly coffee
exchange in the country is that in
New York, which now has a great
boom. The fever is higher than
ever before in the history of the
trade, There is no more gambling
in it than in any other grocery
staple. The present uncertain out
look of the supply has brought out
siders into the speculation. Syn
dicates have been often formed to
bull the market, but in the major
ity of cases they have failed. The
syndicate of 1883, after costing
the consumers of coffee over $B,-
000,000, lost more than it made,
and brought down seversl large
houses. The principle members of
that syndicate was Havre and Rio
houses, with some New York firms
added.
The present syndicate which is
booming prices is composed of New
York, French and Brazilian
houses, and is by far the strongest
ever formed. There are, however,
other outside houses which are
bulls on the situation, and several
have made a good rourd sum al
ready. Mess. Hard & Band, who
do not speculate in option, but are
the largest importers of coffee in
this country, have netted anywhere
from 8500,000 to $750,005, If we
consider that a bag of coffee which
a year ago wos worth say 813 is‘
to-day worth 820, the greatest ade
vance having taken placc withinl
the last six weeks, the above esti
mate is not unreasonable, if it is
not entirely too small. Arnold,
the old ‘coflee king.” has had his
share of the speils, and so has
Selligsberg, who acted for the de
unct syndicate in 1883. |
The Arbucles, who are the larg
est distributors of coffee in the
world, must have netted at least
8500,000, although they were not
bulls on the market. This sum
they have made in the ordivary
run of trade. { otton brokers. aud
and even Wall street financiers
have come into the option market,
as the activity onthe Coffee Ex
change has been for some time
more attractive than either cotton
or etocks. What the actual re
sults of the present speculative
craze will be it 1s bard to say; but
if the present conditions continue,
the consumers of the chief coffee
drinking countries will have to
pay thie year about $120,000,000
more for the cup than they have
ever paid any previous year.

A BOY GOES OUT TO GRAZE
A MILD-EYED CuW. ‘
He Ties a Line to the Cow, Then
to bis Waist, and Then Goes
to Sieep—The Cow is Fri
ghtened and runs Away
- =The Boy Dragged
and Badly Hurt.
Atlanta Journal.)
A small negrp boy was almost
killed yesterday aftcrnoon by being
dragged by a ¢ w.
kGeorgebZWillhmc, a negro boy
who is employed by Dr. Robert
Westmoreland, was sent out to
graze a cow yesterday afternoon.
He selected a ¢7ol and shady spot
near where Pulliam street inter
sects Greorgia avenue and fastening
the loose end of the rope around
his waist, stretched himself upon
the grass and went to sleep.
Just before sunset the cow cons
cluded to go home, and started off,
dragging the sleeping herdsman af
ter her. George, suddenly awak
ened trom a sound sleep, began to
scream, and this frightened the
animal and she changed her walk
to a trot. and finally struck into a
mad run down Pulliman street.—
The trantic cow and the yells ot
the frightened boy attracted the
attention of everybody on the
street, and people rushed from their
houses and viewed the spectacle
with astonishwent. It wasdifficult
to tell what the cow was running
away with, for the boy was on his
head a moment, then on his feet,
now sliding up hill on his storach,
and the next moment going head
foremost down grade. When the
cow reached an open lot on the
rear of Dr. Westmoreland’s resis
dence, she lett the street ard start
ed across the field.
The boy’s head became jammed
in a bush and the cows progress
was suddenly checked. A large
crowd came to the boy’s rescue,and
it was thought first he was dead,
and it was so reported this morn
in§ but, although bruised and
much stirred up, George was able
to get up this morning and exer
cise his sore limbs,
Americus Recorder: A gentle-l
man iu this city who owns a fine‘
herd of Jersey cows, and who gives
them the best of food and atten-‘
tion, bas been greatly annoyed of ‘
Inte by the great and continued
decrease in the yield of milk, and
naturally supposing that some one
was milking them abead of the
servant whose duty it wes to attend
to it, determined to watch mat
ters a little himself. Concealing
himself in the stable vard late one
evening, he waited patiently until
their return home, in hope of
catching the thiet. He had not
long to wait, nor was he troubled
to determine where the loss in milk
was, for as soon as the herd enter~
ed the gate a litter of young pigs
made a break tor them, and, tak
ing hold of their udders, milked
them almost entirely dry betore
his own eyes, while the cows stoid
patiently during the rather novel
process, as though it were a com
mon thing to be milked that way.
The surprised owner at once put a
stop to, this high-nanded robbery
by killing the pigs, aud has since
been reveling in rich cream and

“This is lemonade, is it not? in.

from another packet he took a

The Abundance of Buzzards.
Albany, Ga., News.
Buzzards are multiplying rapid
ly in this country under the proJ
tection of the law and the utter
want of excuse or inclination for
killing them. At times they must
be reduced to desperate straights
for food. The consequence is
that they congregate in droves
around the cities and do excellent
scavenger work. The fishermen
are very much annoyed over their
depredations at the traps in the
creeks above the city. The fish
cannot remain long in the trap
without attracting attention of the
buzzards, which will eat it unless
frightened away. The bad oder
that hangs around the buzzard’s
very name is the suggestion of its
borrible habits, but it may yet des
velope the taste of a hawk in the
abgence of carcasses.

Rather a Wild\Eyed Story About
the Queer Antics of a Farmer's
Worldly Possessions.
Prrrunvnt, Pa., June 4 —The
sun is full of five, and thereis blood
on the face ~f the moon, as farmer
Thos. McKee, of Wilkine township
in this county, seemsto believe.
His howe, two miles from the vil~
lage of Turtle Creek, bas been the
scene of some mighty mysterions
manifestations. McKee Is sixty
years old, has lived in this vicinity
forty-five years and in his present
home twenty years. He is regard
ed as one of the most reliavle and
reputable United Presbyterians in
the country, He, his wife and .‘
grandniece aged fifteen, together
with & hired man, comprise thol
family. They tell a remarkable
story. Each of them is ready to
swear that he or she knows nothe
ing whatever of the cause ot cer
tain appearances of witcheraft
which have for ten days made their
home pandemonium. Ten days
ago the trouble began. Whiie all
were away from the house, and the
doors and windows were fastened,
things were turned topsy-turvy ins
doors. The family subsequently
found their clock and other goods
out in the garden. Each success
ive day things grew worse. Mrs.
McKee four days ago carricd one
of two cans of cream up from the
cellar through the only possible
egress; went right back for the
other and failed to find it. Going
up stairs again, she proceeded to
the door-yard and found the can of
cream overturned and empty.—
There was nobody to be found
within three-fourths of a mile ot
the house. On Friday of this week
Mrs. McKee and a neighbor were
sitting in the house together. Look
ing up to the wall, they saw that
an old hat upon a peg was in flames.
They had ne sooner thrown it out
than a towel on the opposite side
of the house began to blaze,though
no visible means of ignition existed
in the house and Mr. McKee, had
in his pocket, out in the field, every
match upon the premises. There
had been a score or more of similar
unaccountable fires in the house.
Hence Mr. McKee’s precaution.
These manifestations have nearly
driven the family crazy. They
have moved things out of the
house and guarded the occupied
rooms, but all to uo avail. The
subject has set the community by
the ears. Nobody can have the
slightest doubt, except as to the
cause. The manifestations in a
hundred forms are facts. McKee
is not a supernaturalist, yet he
doesn’t know what to expect
next,

Eastman Times: We learn that
recently a tremendous chicken:
hawk swooped down into the yard
of Mr. Dunean Grabham, of Irwin
county, picked up & frying-size
chicken, flew into the house, and,
lighting on the bedstead, proceeded
to devour its prey. Mr. Graham
was absent from home at the time.
His good wite was there, however,
and instead of fainting, as most
women would have done, she closeed
al the windows and, securing a
stick, made war on the vicious
bird. The hawk showed fight, but
‘the battle was a short one, and in
& few moments the woman was

it had stung him, and examining
