COFFEE.
After the dessert comes coffee, and it is
now tilting that we should make a tew re
marks on coffee, its properties and quali
ties, and the best manner of making that
agreeable and stimulating beverage. The
coffee tree is a native of Arabia. The use
of the berry extended itself to Mecca, Me
dina, and then to Cairo in Egypt. It con
tinued its progress northward; and in 1554,
under the reign of !?olyman the Great, be
came known to the inhabitants of Constan
tinople. The V enetians introduced coffee
to the western parts of Europe. In 184 l
it was brought to Marseilles, ami in 1057
to l’aris. According to Le Grand D’Aus
sav, the custom of drinking coffee became
general in Paris'in 16511, through the ex
ample of Soliman .4gn, ambassador of
Mahomet i\*. The coffee is an evergreen
shrub, rising to twenty feci in height. The
fruit is a round tleshy berry, and great care
is taken to conduct little rills of water in
small channels to the roots of the trees.
The berrv grown in Arabia issmaller iti in
that of the East and West Indies, blit its
flavour is much finer, because in Aral ia
the soil is rockv, drv, and hot. 'J'lie trees
are watered by artificial means, and there
fore the proper quantity of moisture only
is imbibed by them. Almost all studious,
hard-working men love coflee, and this is
not wonderful, as it is, when properly
made, a delightful, innoxious, and exhilar
ating beverage. “It is a slow poison,’
said someone to Voltaire, who saw him
drinking strong eoflee. ‘lt must be a very
slow poison indeed,’ rejoined the wit, ‘as
1 have been taking it now for more than
seventy years.’ llow often must a man
who laboured as Voltaire did have requi
red a beverage which excited the nerves
and exhilarated the spirits, without pro
ducing the baneful effects of those stimu
lating liquids mid narcotic substancesj
which act on the brain? In cases of ex
treme beat or cold, eoflee is the most salu
tary beverage, as it not only warms and
ixhilarates the system, but dissipates ilie
langour produced either by fatigue or the
influence of the climate or weather.
How many writers are there who have
vaunted the good effect of coffee? Edd
ie and Lebrun have praised its virtues, in
well-tuned verses. The poem entitled
*Les Disputes of Rulhiere’ originated in
eoflee. Fontenelle, who lived more than
100 years, is lavish in its praise. Mon
tesquie has consecrated to the brown am
brosial berry some eloquent and sounding
peaiods; and Rousseau and tiuffhn, tin
most eloquent of prose writers, have not
forgotten to record the brilliant inspirations
which they owed to its influence. Nor
nre these the only triumphs of the brain
clearing beverage. Heroes, and states
men, and philosophers, have bowed down
before the filagree cups; and Frederick of
Prussia and Napoleon, Talleyrand, and
Cambaeeres.nnd Metterriich.Porlails, and
Corvisart, and Cuvier have all acknow
ledged and felt the inspiration and good ef
fects of coffee.
It is a remarkable fact, that during the
retreat of the Frau< h from Russia, such
soldiers a3 refrained from brandy, and took
only eoflee, escaped being frost-bitten., or
any of the diseases arising from the expo
sure to cold. There is no part of the
world m which better coflee is sold than
in London, more especially the Mocha cof
fee of Twining (which may be purchased
unground and unroasted.at 2s. 2d. the lh.,
whole and roasted, or ground and roasted
at Os the lh.) yet there is no spot in this'
wicked world, we verilv believe, where
coffee is generally so badly made as in |
this great wilderness ofa metropolis. This ;
arises from several causes, Ist, the pur
chasing coffee ground and roasted. The
consumption and sale of the article is so
small in England compared to France,
that in many of the shops the ground cof
fee is a week, and in many a fortnight, or
a month, old; and, being too frequently
exposed to the influences of weather and
climate, the aroma has. entirely evapora
ted. There is scarcely a shop in London
where coflee is daily roasted; and even if
there were such a shop, the quantity pur
chased tor private consumption is genet al
ly so large, and the use of it so unfrequt rr
in families, that the flavour, in so humid
h climate, is gone long before the coffee is
consumed. The Turks, who are our mas
ters in making coffee, do not employ a mill
to tntnratethe berry, but pound it in mor
tars with pestles or mallets of wood.
The second reason why the coffee is in
ferior in England is, that the berry is bur
ned instead of being roasted, and is con-
bitter, and burnt, instead of be
ing fine flavored and aromatic.
The third reason is, that at hotels, cof
fee houses, clubs and even in private hou
ses, enough of the coffee (even though it
were good) is not infused; and the fourth
reason may be found in the addition of an
excess of water. Now, in the first place,
the roasting of coffee should he carefully
watched and superintended by an intelli-
gent person. The moment the berry
crackles, and becomes crisp enough to
pulverise, it is sufficiently roasted. Once'
taken nfFihe roaster, it should be placed in
several thick folds of flannel, to undergo
the process of cooling. This preserves
the essential oil in the coffee, and prevents
the aroma from escaping. When the cof
fee is cool, place it in an air tight canis
ter. Sufficient f»r the day should be the
coffee thereof. In oiher words, never
roast, if you can avoid it, more than for a
single day’s consumption,—certainly not
more than for two or three davs. Grind
or pound your coffee not more tliana quar
ter of an hour before you want to make
the infusion.
There are various methods of prepar
ing the infusion. Any one of them would
have the effect of producing verv tolera
ble coffee, if the directions we have given
touching the roasting and grinding of the
berry were attended to, and a sufficient
quantity of the powdered coffee used. But
unfortunately, English servants, wlmdrink
tea or beer, are ignorant of, or insensible
to the true flavour of coflee, and a ; they
tlo not partake themselves ot the tever-
age, become indifferent to its preparation.
The coffee produced by them is, indeed,
drowned in a deluge of water, and de
serves the title given it in an old track cal
led the “Petition against Coffee,’ namely
*a base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stink
ing puddle water.’
The best coffee in the world, taken al
together, isccrtainly made in Paris, though
wo have occasionally tasted at private
houses in England, where the master was
a ‘gourinaut,’ arid the servants disciplin
ed liner coffee than was ever brewed eith
er at the ‘Cafe Foy’ or the Case Corraz
za.’ And the only wonder is, that it should
not be always so; for, as we before obser
ved, the very finest qualities of coffee come
to the London market.
For the last forty years, a great deal of
taucifulness has prevailed in Paris as to
the best manner of making coffee. Much
ot this arose, no doubt, from the inordi
nate love which Napoleon exhibited for
coffee; as every one was desirous to im
prove upon the favorite beverage of the
liitle Corsican and great conquerer. Pro
jects of all kinds were started to make cos
t lee without roasting it, without grinding
it, to infuse it cold, to make it boil three
quarters of an hour, Sc c. Another mode
was to run the cold water several times!
through the powder, another to infuse the
.coffee over night. But notwithstanding
■hese vagaries, coffee is generally well!
j made in France. It is true that it is most
commonly adulterated by the admixture!
ot ‘chicoree,’ hut there is nothing noxious)
im the endive. It merely adds a bitterness j
jto the coffee, and is adopted, we believe,
jin nine instances out of ten from motives
I of economy.
The most unusual method of making
coffee in France is a ‘Dubelloy,’ which
consists in pouring boiling water on col'-:
tee placed in a porcelain or silver vase cul
tendered or pierced with very small holes, i
This first decoction is poured off heated i
to boiling heat, passed again through the
coffee-pot, when a clear and exquisite cof
fee is produced. More than a full sized
table-spoonful of coffee should be allowed i
lor each guest in making a smali cup of
coffee alter ilinner.

I respectfully submitted to ilie public. * 1
i I. As the name imports, the political principle,
ol the paper will he thoroughly Democratic. 'U.-
doctrines aml measures advoca'teil, will be those „f
Jefteison, Madison, and other distinguished states
I men of the Republican school. Besides the sud
J port of the general principles of the IVmoc.rati,'
: creed, this paper will ever he found the strenuous
j advocate ot southern rights and southern interests
in opposition to the mad schemes of northern tana'
tics and foreign emissaries—will urge the annexa
tion of Texas as a measure of vital importance to
the welfare of the whole Union, and will sedu
lously labor, that the great conservative princinV
of the Constitution—the Veto Potter— n„ y
perpetuated in that instrument as the great sl eet
anchor of our political safety. In Stale politics'
the “Democrat,” will lie the humble co-worker
with kindred prints in advancing the honor ar I
interests of the commonwealth; and in the caui'e
1-paign of the ensuing year, will he prepared to
battle manfully on the side of the People i!lr ,i, w .
Federal misrule and Federal tyranny, under what
ever disguise.
If. A department of the paper will be devoted
to the cause ot Education and Polite Literature
where may be (bund the gem of poetical coniposi
tion, the instructive Tale, the chaste Essav, arid
ng eeahle Miscellany, with occasion notice of the
progress of science and the arts.

all that appertains to the stale of markets at home
and abroad, the condition of trade, prices curient &,■
IY r . The department of Agriculture will receive
special attention. Notices of all improvements u,

tic economy. and every thing in which the hus
bandman takes either pride or pleasure, shall have
their allotted place in our columns.

foreign and domestic, congressional, legislative’
and executive. 'This portion of our pape7 will l„j

—a Protective Tariff—the Bankrupt Act—lnler

we set out with the idea of not going into detain.
It would be a needless lax upon the readers line.
I Suffice it to sav, lhat the Journal will he a Demo
cratic paper, and will always advocate Democianc
men and Democratic measutes.
Although tlie Journal will lie a political paper,

general reader, its columns will always be open ">

casionally, will receive our attention. ANe ‘l'■
