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.

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

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

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.
