A dispatch from Louisville states that the
persons poisoned at the hotels at Greensboro
are all in fair way to recover. 1t is
shown that the milk was poisoned by the
introduction of arsenic into the cans, but,
fortunately, not in sufficient quantities to
cause the death of any who partook of the
milk. The milk was supplied from the In
diana side OF the river, and it is believed
the poison was introduced by some jealous
rival in Kentucky who wished to injure
the reputation Of the Indiana milk.
The Long bridge, Washington, will be
closed for repairs on and after Monday next
for thorough overhauling. A new draw
will be made on the Washington side, and
the supports to the Virginia draw will be

Brazilian Coffee.

Brazil has also had her peaceful tri-
umphs. In the great exposition held at
Paris, in 1867, Brazil attracted much at
teution by the display Of her material re-
sources. She succeeded iu obtaining a
number Of prizes. To the uninitiated it
may seem strange that from all the couu-
tries-Arobia, Java, Ceylon, Venezuela,
the West Indies and Central America
contesting for the production Of the best
coffee, Brazil bore away the palm. But IL
has long been known to dealers that coffee
does not depend upon where il grows. but
upon the length OF time il remains upon
the tree and upon the manner OF its curing.
The Southern aud the South western States
became acquainted with coffee imported
FROM Rio de Janeiro fifty years ago, at a
time when Brazilans did not know how
10 cure Coffee but the taste Of the South
and West has alone kept up the demand
for the green, poorly cured coffee known
in commerce us "Ro." The Brazilans
themselves never use "Rio." and although
three-fourths Of all the coffee imported
into the United Slptes comes from Brazil,
yet much Of il is sold as Mocha aud Java,
or under any other name than "Rio"
The English. Americans aud Germans
make the poorest drink from coffee in the
world, while the Latin nations, who never
boil their coffee, make the best beverages.

not footstep 10 the snow or along the

less lasting. map Of its march; every act
of man inscribes itself on the memories
of its fellows, and in his own face. The
air is full of sound; the ground Is all
memoranda signatures, aud every object
is covered over with hints which speak TO
the intelligent.
