We learn this from the Red Rirer Nears:
On Thursday morning, May II, the bodies
of two colored men, whose names we have
been unable to ascertain, were found on the
road, between Colonel Thempson's place
and Lloran's store, in this parish, below
Montgomery. On examination they had
hung. rabrasures being Observed around I'D
their necks. They had been working on
Mr.. Bells place and had considerable money,
having just been paid off. On searching
nothing was found on their persons. The
bodies were discovered by Joseph Gilyard
and Robert Walker. The supposition is
that they were murdered and then robbed.
VINO were the perpetrators of this terrible
deed is unknown. yet retribution must in
evitably follow those who commit such
heinous crimes.

Conee-Growing In Mexico,

Co6ee-Growing In Mexico.
We copy the following from the st. Louis
Democrats:
1t is finally becoming demonstrated that
in Mexico, less than four days by rail from
New Orleans, a first rate quality of coffee
can be grown. Our main dependence for
coffee now is upon Brazil, and it requires
sixty to seventy days for steamer to make
the trip from New Orleans to Rio Janeiro
and return. The main consumption of
coffee in this country is Of the brand known
IS Rio, and better quality than Rio can
be produced in the "Tuxpan country" of
Mexico, but short distance from Gal.
weston.
The Tuxpan country is situated Just be-.
low Vera Cruz. and extends from the Gulf
coast inland to the Sierra Madre mountains
on the west, the Panuco river on the north,
and the Nautla on the south. It is about the
size of the State of Kentucky, containing
14,080, 900 acres, fully one.hslf of which is
said to be good coffee land. But We're even
tenth available behold what a crop this
splendid area can be made to produce: At
nine hundred shrubs to the acre seven feet
apart each way. and an average of four
pounds per tree (six to eight being the
claimed average), we should have in shrubs
1,267 zoe, 900, and in pounds of coffee $685.
800 600, which, at only five cents per pound,
is s253, 440, 900.
OF course it will be said that it is ALWAYS
much easier to make fortune with a pen
Gil than with agricultural Implements
easier to picture it than to realize it, but
coffee, in this wonderfully fertile country, is
certain, easy and almost incredibly profit.
able crop, and once set, requires but surface
cultivation. In the gathering and prepara-
ton for market, children may be employed
almost as efficiently as adults. low yield
would be at four pounds per tree, four thou
sand five hundred pounds per acre, but the
Mexicans claim six 10 eight pounds per acre,
after five years growth. az fair average.
These estimates are only given as sugges-
tike to the minds of political economists of
what is within the power of ordinary indus.
try in the second republic Of the continent,
within ten days steam of New York, three
and half of New Orleans. and (by steam
and rail via Galveston) within ten to eleven
days of st. Louis, Chicago and the Great
West. In freight, the coffee grown upon
the area given above for one year, would
amount to 25,344,000 bags of 200 pounds
each-equal to 2, 534, 900 tons, or 1867 ship
loads at 1000 tons each.
Is it too much to hope that some of our
wealthy men will look into this matter?
And If coffee can be grown SO near, pray let
it be done. and done extensively. Major J.
Henry Brown, an American planter, has
now in successful growth in this Tuxpan
country several thousand coffee trees. They
look splendid, he says, and he invites Amer.

The Young Daredevil.
The st. Louis Republican of the 6th say


gentleman, who was passenger, states
that when the train coming east arrived at
Jefferson City yesterday, the inspector pro-
ceeded, as usual. to tap the Car wheels to
test their soundness, when he discovered a
boy under one of the cars, who had been
stealing ride from Kansas City. He had
formed a sort of net of rope, in which he lay
suspended like spider in its web, between
the axle of one of the trucks and the floor of
the car. The boy was routed out of his
place, and quite crowd gathered about
him on the platform. He was disposed to
be ssuey, and said he had no favors to ask
of anybody. He stated that he had ridden
in this way thousands of miles. As the
train was moving off slowly from Jefferson
City, the boy got in his old place again I'M
der the car, while it'was in motion. The
conductor was notified, and stopped the
train. The boy was hauled out from his
lurking place. and, taking up stone, was
in the act of hurting it 81 the conductor,
when the latter knocked him down. He
did not "dead head" it any further on
that train,
