There is a weed in the South known as the wild coffee plant, which has caused the planter a good deal of trouble and annoyance, and has consequently been greatly despised. It has recently been discovered that the plant has its use, as rope can be made from it eq ual to the best hemp, and stronger and finer than jute. The discovery was made by a ne¬ gro who needed a piece of rope, but could find none, On looking around his attention was attracted toThis plant, and he cut the stalks and treated them in the same manner he had been accus tomed to see hemp treated in Kentucky, and the result was a fibre of good length and of surprising strength, which the old man soon converted into rope. MAN AND HIS BUTTONS. III* Method of .Sowing: Them on, and ih< Difficulties F.n countered. (New York Graphic.] Did you ever see a man in the solitude and privacy of his study attempt to sew on details, a button by himself ? It is, in all its one oi the most interesting per¬ formances in the world. First he hunts for a button. Generally, to secure it, he robs Peter to pay Paul, and cuts from another garment This button may be much larger or much smaller than the size he is wearing. Next be hunts a needle. Probably lie goes out and buys a paper of needles. He always chooses the largestneedles, having an impression that large needles will sew stronger than small needles. As to thread, he gets the coarsest he can find, and this he doubles. He would thread his needle. He takes his big needle in one band and his coarse black thread in the other. He bites off the thread to a desired length. Then he tries to twist it to a fine point. Gener¬ ally in this he succeeds in making two, and sometimes three, fine points out of one end. Of course he can’t get all these fine points through the needle’s eye at once. He tries hard to make that needle and thread get on friendly terms with each other, but they won’t. They don’t want to get acquainted. They do not wish to have anything to do with each other. Sometimes it is the needle that kicks; sometimes the thread. Some¬ times lie imagines he has really threaded his needle. It is an ocular delusion. The thread has missed the needle’s eye by half an inch. It is harder work than sawing wood. At last the needle is threaded. Now he tries to sew the but¬ ton on without taking bis trousers off. This proves a failure. He twists him¬ self into an uncomfortable position, and so would sew. But he can’t sew so. He runs the needle into himself, and the contrary thread always insisting in foul¬ ing or in doubling around the next but¬ ton. Then one part of the doubled thread won’t work harmoniously with the other part. One part draws through the button’s eye first and leaves the other part behind. Then it gets bitched up, and the embassador swears. Or the needle breaks. And then he swears. He may not swear audibly. But the re¬ cording angel knows what is going on inside of him, and debits him with every item. He sews hard. He has forgotten all about the necessity for a thimble. He jams bis thumb down on the needle’s head and it punctures his thumb or runs under the nail. By and by he sews the button’s eye full of thread. His big needle won’t pass through any more. He must stop. He ends by winding the thread as many times as it w ill go under the button. And perhaps he leaves off with two or three inches of thread stick¬ ing outside. A woman can, through many outward indications, tell when a man has been trying to sew on a but¬ ton. He doesn’t know the shibboleth of needle and thread, and it catches some¬ where every time. At last the button is sewed on and he is proud of his work. A. Cheap Cologne Water. The only perfume which never seems to offend any and which leaves no un¬ pleasant tang behind it is that of cologne water, which stimulates while it soothes the senses, and suggests a pleasant whole¬ someness, instead of any sickish sweet¬ ness, as the best of extracts and essences and bouquets are apt to do. We do not mean, of course, the cheap and common cologne water of the druggists, which is usually very much worse than none at all; and wont to leave, after dying, the smell of burned sugar where it has been used often, as it is made of the poorest spirit, and necessarily without subsequent dis¬ tillation; without regard to the fact that it requires the strongest proof or rectified spirit to dissolve the combined oils properly where the process of distillation is not used. Indeed, with no trouble at all, any one can make in her own store room a better article of cologne than that which is usually bought, by thoroughly dissolving a fluid dram of the oil of ber¬ gamot, orange and rosemary each, with half a dram of neroli and a pint of rec¬ tified spirit. As good as can be made out of cologne itself, however, is also quite as comfortably prepared at home as at the chemist’s—at so much less than the chemist’s prices that one feels war ranted in using it freely—simply by mix Cl ckamflCh oi th? oComC gamont and lemon, one of the oils of orange and half as much of that of rose dram ofneroU and four drops each ol the essences of ambergris and musk.

In a certain sense this is probably true. That is, there are years and seasons when they are more severe and frequent than at others. Between 1860 and 1873 these tornadoes were very rare, and between 1873 and 1S80 there were only one 03 tvvo of a formidable ch*racttr.

Mr. Morosini, Treasurer of the Ameri¬ can Cable Company at New York, is an old friend and shipmate of Garibaldi, who, in addition to being a candle maker, and a liberator, was also a sea His old friend says the libera¬ tor looked more like an Englishman than an Italian ; was “one of Plutarch’s men, a Roman of Rome’s best days.” After Garibaldi and himself had made candles on Staten Island for a year, in 1850, Garibaldi was appointed Captain of a Peruvian ship and took Morosini with him on his visit to China and South America. He was very kind to all his crew, in fact to everybody, but showed it in his looks and acts,for be was little of a talker. His face looked like a lion’s face, especially when angry ; there was no indenture of bis nose where, as in most persona, it joins the forehead. The only time that he ever knew Garibaldi to be afraid was at Newcastle-on-tbe Tyne, where bis ship was loading with coal, and where, being barefoot he was afraid the coal carriers, with their heayy hob nail shoes, would step on his toes. "When at Callao two Frenchmen over¬ heard him telling how he helped defend Rome against the invasion of the French army. One of them accused him of lying. Next morning Garibaldi went to his shop and challenged him to a fair fight; the two partners drawed their -weapons, but on Garibaldi’s pretending to draw a revolver, they fled.

Now don’t you wish he could have seen The folly of this passion, And let his neighbors choose between His and some other fashion ? Curious Scene. A most respectable jury—every one of them a £50 freeholder—was impaneled at Clonmel, Ireland, to try a most im portant question. During the course of the trial the learned Judge had to retire tor half an hour, promising to he back on the expiration of that time. The Judge then retired, and so did the jurors. In some time after, one of the jurors re turned, and stated in open court, to an astonished audience, that lie had been to a christening, drank the child’s health, her a speedy uprise to its mother, and that son might be a much better man than its papa. This caused so much surprise that those who heard it re mained silent. He asked a learned coun sel to give him the song called “ The Low-backed Car.” At this request the learned gentleman shook his head. The juror then said, “You won’t, won’t you? Then I’ll do it myself; ” and so he did, e xceben i ; s tyl e > and concluded amid the bravos . of a crowded court. He then made a speech on the duties of a pater nal Government, and acquitted lximself with equal credit, and was vociferouslv applauded. He then demanded that the Judge should be sent for ; and this de maud not being acceded to by the crier lie stood up and called the learned Judge to come into court, on a fine of £50 This the he did three different times, and iii usual way. He then declared that as the Judge did not come he wouldn’t wait—he should go back to the cliristen ing; box, and he accordingly left the jury and finally the court. In about half an hour he returned, and, not see ing the Judge on the bench, he com menced singing “Rory O’More ” after which he stepped into the jury-box re tics; but he, seeming not to mind the wry faces of his brethren, began to hum a song. He then tried what he could do at the Kent bugle, and succeeded to admira tion ; but, just as he had concluded a splendid solo, the learned Judge made his appearance at the corner of the bench, where he stood listening, in mute astonishment, to the music of the special juror, who was equally astound ed when he heard the cry of “ Hats off! Be pleased to keep silence!” In the meantime something was said to the Judge, who good-naturedly adjourned the court for the further hearing of the case until the following morning, Good Manners. Perhaps good manners are not good morals, though the time was when the words morals and manners amounted lo pretty much the same thing, When the New Testament was trans lated into English, in 1611, it taught its readers, and still teaches us, that “evil communications corrupt good manners.” And the revisers of 1880 have left the good manners to stand, changing only communications into company. So I have very high authority for saying that what I am driving at in this letter has something to do with the basis of char acter. A bad man may have the hand somest manners, the manners of a gen tleman, and thereby ail the more thoroughly fitted to work manner pf. mischief with greediness. He is a hypocrite in the world, as one who merely pretends to be a saint is a hypocrite in the * cliurch. But the beginning, middle, and end of good manners may be condensed into the divinely given principle of preferring others "to ourselves; denying self for the happiness of another ; rendering to everyone liis due, as superior, inferior, or equal. form the of the If mothers manners children, they should feel the burden of responsibility.

The cannibals have long since decided that in the delicacy of both flavor and texture, “ long pig ” is far superior to “short pig,” aud when asked how he liked children Charles Lamb said he liked them “boiled.” It is well known that tigers and lions prefer human flesh to all other, and will leave off eating cat¬ tle and sheep to pull down a man. A curious confirmation of this is the pref erence whieli tigers show to monkeys, which, according to Darwin, are but a stage below the human race. Tigers and leopards are very fond of them, and for the sake of the delicacy, will lie long hours under the trees waiting for them to come down. The monkeys will shake the branches and throw sticks down at them until by worrying and pestering them they succeed in driving the epicures away. $1.50 PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE NUMBER 2 l , HUMORS OF THE DAT. w" Mrs. Jenkinson. t v' V6 got ‘‘ a I’ve horrid dosed cold,” said and I dont get and dosed one bit better Ton my word I believe I’ve taken no less thirty mine articles, and begin to feel like an Episcopalian.’’ They vere discussing religious ques¬ tions.
