Struggling: Against Death. Mrs. Annie Oaklcj, of 69 Prospect street, after a family difficulty, took last evening an ounce ot laudanum. It was sometime before the fact was known by ber relatives, and then the trivial cauae of the attempted suicide was dropped, and all bent themselves to save her life. Dr. Kent was sent for. When a person has taken laudanum, of course the great de ire is to go to sleep. If tha patient can be kept awake till the effect of the nar cotic pass away, there is no further dan ger. Bat sleep is the sleep of death. In rain the woman begged, implored, prayed, entreated them to let. her lie down and rest; but they kept her awake with forced walking,' Blinking, switching her with twigs', and other light punishment, and at the earce time gave the proper antidotes, chiefly the active principle of belladonna, to counteract the effect of the narcotic. In spite of all this she continued to sink, until at eleven o'clock, her pulse had run down to four or five beats minute, and it seemed impossible to keep her from the fatal sleep. Dr. Kent 6ent for Drs. ' Jlyer and Uurd to come and bring their galvanic batteries, which they did, and all three' doctors commenced at the wumaD, keeping her system stimulated, and preventing her from going to sleep by strong continuous circuits of galvan ism that would have made a normal per son crazy. The minute a battery was re moved, the woman appeared to sink, so they kept them going at full strength, one being loaded up with fresh chemicals while the other was being used, and this was kept up unremittingly until about three o crock this morning, when the et fects of the drug began to wear off and the pulse showed signs of strengthening. By tour o'clock she had entirely recovered and was out of further danger, so that the exhausted doctors could take their leave and seek rest for themselves. They never more emphatically and literally kept a person from dying in their lives It was a literal tussle witti death for eight or nine hours, with doubtful results the while, but with a final victory for the 11. Da and their little electrical machines About the first thing the woman did on her recovery was to express regret that the' doctors had saved her lite', as she wanted to die, and wished they had left her alone. It is not one time in a thous and that a ' person could swallow , that quantity of laudanum and survive. Pat terson Guardian. On a Coffee Plantation. Coffee culture is very interesting, and the growing crop is very beautiful. Tne trees at maturity are from five to eight leet high; they are well shaped and bushy, with a glossy dark-greeu foliage, and planted eight or nine leet apart. Tue flow era in clusters at the root of the leaves, and are small, but pure whife and very frag rant. The fruit has a rich color, and re sembles a small cherry or large cranberry; it grows in clusters, close to the branches, and when it becomes a deep red ia ripe and ready to be gathered. The trees are raised frem seed, and do not begin to yield until the third year. In Central America they bear well for twelve or fifteen years, although, in exceptional cases, trees twenty years old will yield an abundance of fruit. The tree is- par ticularly beautiful when in full bloom or wheu laden with ripe fruit. The process of preparing coffee for market is as follows: The xipe berries when picked are at first put through a ma chine called the "despulpador," which remoTes the pulp; the coffee grains, ol which there are two in each berry, are still covered with a sort of glutinous sub stance which adheres to the bean ; they arc now spread out on large "patios," made specially for this purpose, and left there, being occasionaly to-osed about and turned over with wooden shovels until they are perfectly dry. They are then gathered up and put into the "letrilla," a circular trough in which a heavy wooden wheel, shod with Bteel, is made to revolve, so as to thoroughly break the husk without crushing the bean. The chaff is separa ted from the grain by means of a fanning mill, and the coffee is now thoroughly dry and clean. After this, it is the cuh tom of tome planters to have it tpread out on long tables aud carefully picked over by the Indian women and children, all the bad beans being thiown out. It only remains then to have it put into bags, weighed and marked, before it is ready for shipment to the port'. Ou some of the larger plantations this pro cess is greatly simplified, with consider able saving iu time and labor, by the use of improved machinery for drying and cleaning the coffee. Scribner. Ingenious Fraud. The other day a portly-clad womun appeared before a well-known and highly-respected piiest in Vienna, and told him, with tears, that her husband, a silversmith, was given to diink, aud that he beat her and the child ren daily, aud neglected all the duties of a husband and lather. She asked the good man to talk to her husband and en ueavor to make him see things in abetter! light. The priest promised to see the workman aud dismissed the woman. She straightway went to a silversmith and ordered him to go next morning at 11 o'clock to the priest's hou&e, representing that she was his cook, and that he wished to buy a snuff-box. The silversmith ap peared the next morning punctually at the stated time with about a dozen silver snuff-boxes. The woman, who awaited him in the hall, took the goods from him, and entering the priest's room, said, "Sir, my husband is here." "Tell him to come In," said the priest, whertupou the woman left the room and bade tlie silversmith nler. The good father proceeded to ad dress him in a long sermon, saying a great deal about drunkenness, wife beating and o forth. The silversmith was at first as tonished, then indignant, and eventually the mystery was solved. The worn in did not wait for the conclusion . of the inter view, and the snuff-boxes have not since been heard of. London Mayair. Perfumes. Few ladies can resist the pleasure of using perfumery; they do not positively drop scent upon their handker chiefs; they prefer to keep their ward robes well stocked with lavender, or orris root, or sandal-wood, so that their clothes emit a "pleasant fragrance rather than a distinct odor. A young lady I once knew had the draweis and cupboards in which her clothes were disposed strewn with eatchets of Btroug-suielling violet powder, , that gave a nameless, delicate, fresh perfume to everything she wore, from her hat and veil to her handkerchief. For this mode of using perfume, nothing can be much better than lavender, which is exquisitely fresh and wholesome, and has a sweet natural scent that art can never outdo. It U hardly necessary to add that the tue of strong perfumes is a ur evidence of Tuljjaiity. A" Josh Billings on Birds. THE QUAIL. The quail iz a game bird, about one size bijer than the rohbin, and so sud dan C3they hum when they fly. They have no song, but whistle for music; the tone iz solitary and ead. They are shot on the wing, and a man may be good in arithmetic, lustrate at parsing, and even be able to preach acceptable, but if he ain't studied quail on the wins he might as well shoot at a streak of lightning in the sky as at a quail on the g"- Bnled quail, properly supported with jelleys and a Champagne Charlie, iz just trie most dimcult thing, in my ruimble opinion, tow heat in the whole history ov Tittles and something to drink. " I am no tfourumnfl, . f'-r I kan eat bread and milk five dvs out of seven. and smak my lips after I get thru, but it 1 am asked to eat bnled quail by a friend, with judishou aocoiuittiiyment, I blush fust, then bow my head, and then smile sweet acquiescence in other words, 1 always quail before such a r quest. ' - TUB FAIIT1UDGE. The partridge iz als a . game bjrd. Their game iz tow drum on a log in the spring ot the year and keep b-th eyes open, watching the sportsmen. Part ridges are not shot on the wing, and are az easy to miss az a ghost iz. It iz phun enuff tew see the old bird hide her young j brood when danger iz near. This must be seen; it can't be described, and make enny body believe it. The partridgn, grouse aud pheasant are cousins, and either of them straddle a gridiron natural enuff to have been born there. Take a couple of young part ridges and pot them down, and serve up with a kind of choru?, and they beat the ham sandwiches you buy on the Cimden & Amboy lioad 87J per cent. I have eat these lamentable New Jersey ham sand witches, and must say that I perfer a couple of basswood chips, soaked in mustard water, and stuk together with Spaulding's glue. THE HVOODKOK. The fust thing yer generally see uv a woodkok is a whizz, and the last thing a whirr. How so many ov them are shot on the wing iz a mystery to me, for it iz a quicker j b than suatching peunys oph a red hot stove. I have shot at them often, but never remember ot my killing one ov them yit. They are one of the game birds, aud menDy good judges think they are the most elegant vittles that ware fathers. THE GOSLIN. The goslin iz the old goose's young child. They are yeller all over, and az soft az a ball of worsted. Their foot iz wove hole, and they kan swim az easy az a drop of kastor-oil on the water. They are boru annually about the 15th of May, and never was known to dio naturally. If a mm should tell me he saw a goose die a natural death, I wouldn't believe him under oath after thut, not even if he swore he had lied about seeing a goose die. The goose are different in one respect from the humau family, who are scd tew grew weaker and vvizer, whereas a goslin alwus grows tuffejr and more phoolish. 1 have seen a goose that they sed was 93 years old last June, and didn't lo k an hour older than one that whs only 17. The goslin waddles when he walks and paddles when he swims, but never dives like a duck out of sight in the water, but only changes ends. The food of the goslin iz rye, corn, oats and barley, sweet apple?, hasty pud ding, succotash and biled cabbage, cooked potatoze, raw meat, wiue, jelly and turnips, stale bred, kold hash, and buckwheat cakes that are left over. They aint so particular at sum pholks what they eat, won't get mad and quit if they kant have wet toast and lam chops every morning for breakfast. Fooling With a Quaker. lie was a peaceable looking man, with a quiet looking horse attached to &n un attractive sleigh, with unostentatious bells. He wore a wide-rimmed hat and a shad-bellied coat, as he drove easily down the S.mth Easton hill, journeying from Bucks county to the land of .North ampton. He was observed bv a fellow of the species rorgh, whom much loafing had made impudent, and who lilted up his yawp : 'S-a-a-y I hat, where you going with that mtui'' "Verily, I journey beyond the river, friend," mildly responded the Quaker, "and thither goeth my hat also." "Hold up and take a fellow along, can't you?" called oivt the man of wrath. "Nay, friend, my business and inclina tions forbid it." "I'll soon fix that," and the fool ran forward and jumped on the runner. "Verily, friend, if thee insists upon getting into my vehicle I will even help thee," and the man of peace reached out a right hand as resistless as an oyster dredge. It caught the youth around his throat worse than a four-year old diphth eria, ierked him intr ti-io cK.i.rl. ,.n.l slammed him down amnnrr th? .fmw. wnere ne got tramped on by a pair of JNo 0 , i-5 cowniues until he th night he had got caught in a shower of pile drivers. Fi nally he got a kick that lifted him clear over the side of the sleigh and ran his head into the bank by the roadside, where he dwindled down in a heap like a gum shoe discouraged by a street car, and murmured as he rubbed his ensanguined nose in the snow : "Who'n blazes'd a ever thought the cast iron man'd gone around with steam up an' disguised as a blamed old Qua ker." Eauton Free Press. Diamonds on Credit. A French no blemau, who won a fortune on the turf during the early " part of last season, yielded to the entreaties of his wife, and gave her $10,000 wherewith to buy a diamond necklace which she had seen iu che Rue de la Paix. She took the m ney and carried home the necklace, but neg lected to pay for it, owiug to the more pressing claims of the dressmaker and the milliner, and possibly to losses incurred at the baccarat table. The Count, Dot suspecting that the diamonds had been bought on credit, and being rather hard hit himself at the gambling table, took advantage of he absence of his wife to raise money on her necklace. Not liking to put the diamonds in pawn, he sold them outright to a merchant in the Palais Riyal at a low figure. The new pur chaser, pleased with his bargain, offered to pell the necklace to certain jewellers, and finally showed it to the dealer of whom the countess had purchased it. The jeweller was furious at having the diamonds which he had himself sold on credit offered to him for a sorg, and made criminal charges against the Cunt. The Cuntess returned from Nice ia re sponse to a telegram from her husband, aud the noble pair scraped t6o-ether enough to pay for the jewels.

One of the surest ways for a man to be robbed of his good name is to put it on his umbrella. Tue head waiter of a saloon in Boston was referred to as " a gentleman of soup-or-fish-al attainments." The other day a conceited ignoramus went a little too far by boasting of his adventures in three hemispheres. An Iowa editor recently announced that a certain patron of his was "thieving as usual." lie declared he wrote it "thriy ing." LoTEn(in French): "Angelina, je ' adore." Angelina (who hadn't studied ' parley -too") : " Shut it yourself you lett it open."

" Observing that a prize in the Massa chusetts cat show went to a Maine cat, tlie New York Commercial Advertiser thinks a few exultant remarks by Brother Blaine are in order. Edwin Booth once paid that the best way to get rid of a good friend was to lend him five dollars. That was wheu times were easy. You can alias ate him now for titty cents. Said a theatre manager to one of his company, "I wish, ir, you would be careful, and pny a little attention to what I say." " So 1 do," replied the actor "as little as I possibly can." " And how are you to-day, my dear V "Ah I I am still vtry weak, but I begin to be able to put one foot before the oth er." " Oh, I am glad to hear it ; that is saying a great deal for your strength." A High Church vicar advertises in an English paper for a curate, to whom he will pay $12.50 a week. By way of in ducement it is added that the curate can find eligible lodging for $15.75 a week. Last Friday half a dozen little chil dren from the school at this place were seen walking up and down one of the streets-, looking aud enquiring for "a black beau with a pin in the middle, which our school ma'uru lost." Pronunciation of English a difficul ty for foreigners is exemplified by the following, which au Irish correspondent sends: "Through the tough cough, and hiccough plough my spirit through, my course o'er life's dark lough I still pur sue." A Connecticut Jonathan, in taking a walk with his dearest, came to a toll bridge, when he, as honest aa he was wont to be, said, after paying his own toll (which was one centj : "C-Jiiie, Suke, you must pay your own toll, for just as like as not I shan't have you after all." A modest bachelor says all he should ask in a wife would be a good temper, sound health, good understanding, agree able physiognomy, pretty figure, good connections, domestic habits, resouices of amusement, good spirits, conversational talents, elegant manners and money. Modest bachelor, indeed! Dunned. "Let me see," said a des perately dunned debtor, " this is the fifth time you have called within four days, is it not ? Regret to disappoint you, young man ; but step in next Sat urday before three o'clock, and I will positively settle in my mind when you may call again," he added to himself when the visitor left. TnE conceit is often taken out of people who think themselves famous. Thackeray, when speaking about fame, would frequently tell the following anec dote: When at dinner one day he heard one waiter say to another, " Do you know who that is?" "No," was the answer. "That's the celebrated Mr. Thackeray." 14 What's he done? " " BIesed if I know," was the reply. Awful to Contemplate. A man more than half seas-over was observed one day supporting the parapet -of the North Bridge, Edinburgh, thakiug his head and repeating to himself eadiy, "It must be done, it must be done." And an old lady passing by, thinking he con templated suicide, said to him, "What must be done, my man?" "Must go home and face my wife," was the woeful an swer. It was a little hard on the boy, for he meant well, and had a siucere admiration for the girl. They were sitting at the tea-table with a company of others, aud as he passed her the sugar he murmured in an undertone, "Here it is, sweet, just like you." The compliment was a little awkward, to be sure, but he meant it; and it seemed more thau cruel, when, a mo ment later, she hd occasion to pass the butter to him, she drawled, "Here it is, soft, just like you." A certain judge, whose pompous and officii. us ways tempted come of the law yers to acts which his honor construed to mean contempt, fiued them ten dollars each. Wheu they had paid thedr fines, a certain dry and steady-going old law yer walked up to the Bench" aud very gravely laid down ten dollars. "What is that for?" said the judge. "For contempt, your honor," was the reply. "Why, I have not fined you for contempt," an swered the judge. "I know that," said the lawyer; "but I want you to under stand that I cherish a secret contempt for this Court all the time, and I am willing to pay for it." , COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, TTT TtfTTTDC TTV fYF f.ST .

In the early part or last wiuter I took a severe cold, and shortly af terward a distressing coug-h was added to it. My friends did everything they could for me, but without avail. The heat physicians that could be procured did not relieve me, and my couirh continued with me all through the wiuter with Increasing- severity. I spit blood three or four times a day. and my friends, considering my case hopeless, gave me up as a continued consumptive. 1 was in this condition when 1 heard of Du.
