A Milan telegram states that two
thousand Austrian sailors arrived in
Venice for the defence of I.aguaz,
aud orders were issued to organize a
body of twelve hundred boatmen for
transporting soldiers to the island Of
Lido. Twenty-Five thousand Aus
trian troops passed through the Mes
tire. The telegram says an Italian
squadron has len the bay Of IAranto
and taken position in the Adriatic,
between Ancona and the Island Of
Grossa, thereby closing the Gulf Of
Trieste, aud threatening Venice,
Trieste and Poland.

Eight the devil with Grc7 is aa
old maxim, and prcniicc's "latpat' IN

Old lIrowulow was never In but
one place that he deserved to be-, and
that was the rebel prison, II be- has
any more wing TO do, perhaps he had
better make haste to do Il IN this
world, as he will get his pens and
paper scorchcd and his ink boiled

diarrhoca Of lies. lie could nomorc
breathe an mir untitled with his own
lies and curses than one without hy-

more ihvorably than il does with is
sister-plancts. llcis no writer-sim-
ply n brawlcr, n bawlcr, hc-yixcn,
a male tcrmagant, a masculine virago.
lie is of the class of "common
scolds," who, by the old law of
Great Britain, were ducked in horse
ponds. lie is a villilicr, traduccr,
a columniator of men, women and
children. No excellence, no purity,
no helplessness is n protection against
his venomous assaults. lie aims his
vengeance alike at the living and the
dead. His venom seeks through the
cold sands Of the grave TO find It's
victim. A buried body is no more
safe from him than from other grave
worms. 81 have lost a day" said
the good Roman emperor, when he
remembered TO have done no good
deed. / have lost n minute, Brown
low might say If he remembered no
malignant thing. His heart and life
blacken, as his head whitcns. Ills
fathers hoof is split-the sons ears,
nose and tongue should be. He de-
serves to be kicked until, like the pit
he is going to, he is "bottomless."
Brownlow has all of the worst
qualities of the devil, but the latter,
II he has any redeeming qualities, is,
in comparison with the "Parson," a
christian gentleman. Brownlow is q
rattlesnake, with his rattlcs at the
wrong end of him. lie is hog,
with the kink in his head instead Of
his tail. If bayonets bristlc at him,
he can turn the back of his neck aud
bristle back with interest. We have
ground him until he is grounding.
We have hedged him until he is a
hedgehog. He is small man, but
a great swine; he may be a rich man
but he is a poor devil. lie is "a
porcupine rolled up the wrong way
thus pricking himself to death with
his own quills. The more he write.
the Aatter he gets, just as an addcr's
head hattcns as he becomes furious
II bis heart were not Salamanca

hundred pounds of green tea drank, a half
pound of Prussiau blue and Gypsum is ia
ken into the system.
To estimate the quantity which one acre
of land planted in tea would make, | select
ed medium sized plant, and collected the
leaves from it. The yield was one-fourth
of pound of tea. The number of plants
to an acre, standing five feet each way, is
1854 which will make four hundred and
forty-one pounds to the acre. Can we cul.
tivate any plant that will compare with this !?
At fifty cents per pound, it would make two
hundred and twenty dollars per acre. An
other very great advantage it has over all
other crops is, that neither cold or heat, dry
or wet, hail or winds, or insects injure it,
1t is as certain to be made, as that the earth
turns on its axis. Who ever heard of the
failure of the tea crop of China or Japan.
1t is still an unsettled question whether
there is one or two distinct species of the
Tea plant. Fortune, who visited the tea
region of China, believes that Thea Bohea
aud Thea virides are distinct ; but at the
same time admits that teas of every kind
are made from both. The difference be.
tween the green aud black, is owing to the
mode in which they were prepared for mar
ket. There is no question but that both
green and black teas are made from Thea
Bohea, near Canton.

necessary. In few years you will be able
to estimate its true value, and acquire all
the knowledge in regard to climate, soil,

A word to my fellow couutrymen of the
