CoIfnx Bond Robbery.

A throughly reliable gentleman Of
Washington city, who processes to be
acquainted with all the details Of the
Colfsx bond robbery last winter. asserts
publicly to-day that he had complete
description Of ell the securities, the
numbers OF the bonds, their nominal
value. &c, taken from the late Vice
Presidents trunk and that they amount
ed TO nearly one hundred Thousand dol
lara. He further states that the secu-
rites had been recovered, and that all
but ten thousand dollars Of them were
returned TO Colfax. He would not ray
whether the latter sum had been re-
tanned by the tbeives, or whether that
amount was charged by the police for
recovering the stolen property. One Of
the Police Commissioners Was formerly
a retainer OF Colfax, and even he admits
that the amount in the trunk was
nearer one hundred Thousand dollars
than fifty thousand.

MILK Rx a Kennedy.

Considerable has been lately said in
medical journals concerning the value
OF milk as remedial agent in certain
diseases. An interesting article upon
this subject lately appeared in the Lon-
don lhlk journal, in which it is stated
on the authority OF DR.. Benjamin
Clarke that in the East Indies warm
milk is used to great extent as a
specific for diarhes. A pint every four
hours will check the most violent
diarhna, stomach ache. incipient cholera
and dyaentery. The milk should never
be boiled, but only heated sufficiently
to be agreeably warm, not too hot to
drink. Milk which has been boiled is
unfit for use. This writer gives several
instances to show the value of this
simple substance in arresting this dis
ease, among which is the following.
The writer says
ut has never failed in curing in
six to twelve hours, and I have tried it,
| should think, fifty times. l have
also given it to dying man who had
been subject to dysentery eight months,
latterly accompanied by one continual
darhGa and it acted on him like q
charm. In two days his diarh9a Was
gone, in three weeks he became hale,
lat man, aud now nothing that may
hereafter occur will ever shake his
faith in hot milk"
A writer also communicates 10 the
Medical Tines and Gazette a statement
OF the value OF milk in twenty six cases
of ty phoid fever, in every one Of which
its great value was apparent. Itchecks
diarhea, and nourishes and cools the
body. People suffering from disease,
require food quite as much as those In
health, and much more so In certain
diseases where there is rapid waste Of
the system. Frequently all ordinary
food in certain diseases is rejected by
the stomach, aud even loathed by the
patient; but nature, ever beneficial. has
furnished a food that in all diseases is
beneficial-in some directly curative.
Such a food is milk. The writer in
the journal last quoted, DR.. Alexander
Yale, after giving particular observa-
tions upon the points above mentioned ,
viz, its action in checking diarhGs, its
nourishing properties, and its action in
cooling the body, says:
I'VE believe that milk nourishes in
fever, promotes sleep, wards of delirium.

also lately tested the value OF milk in
scarlet fever, and learn that It'll now

all cases of this very often distressing
children's disease. Give all the milk
the patient will take, even during the
period OF greatest fever; it keeps up the
strength OF the patient, acts well upos
the stomach, and is in every way n
blessed thing in this sickness. Parents
remember it, and do not fear to give it
if your dear ones are afflicted With this
disease.

Vienna and Philadelphia.

Mr.. Fulton writes to the Baltimore
american. from Vienna, as follows:
Philadelphia will have an expensive
affair on her hands if she expects to
rival Austria in the exposition OF 1876.
The cost Of erecting the buildings and
preparing the grounds, even with the
cheap labor OF this country, has been
forty-two millions of forins, or twenty
millions OF American dollars. The daily
current expenses since it has been open
have been fifteen thousand florins per
day, or about seven thousand five hum
dred dollars. The receipts thus far have
fallen short of the expenses, though
that is not likely to be the case in
Philadelphia, as the visitors from any
one OF our large States will exceed the
entire number of even German.speak-
ing foreigners from all the surrounding
nations that will visit Vienna. The
great mass of the people in this part OF
the world never travel, for the reason
that they have not the means to do 30:
The number Of Englishmen who travel
in Europe is hardly equal to those from
the United States, while Frenchmen are
at the present time too severely pressed
financially to indulge in any sight see
ing expeditions. Russians are here in
goodly numbers, and there is a sprink-
ling of Swiss, but it is
evident that the authorities
and people of Vienna have largely
over estimated the expected visitors.
Then the great mass OF the people OF
Vienna are poor, and will only visit the
Eposltiou on the fifty groschen days.
Baron Schwartz, who has had supreme
control in the management OF every
thing in connection with the EXPOSE
ton, must be a man of great enterprise.
He has gone on regardless OF expense.
having expended more than double the
sum originally estimated. But it has
grown 10 magnitude so rapidly that the
first estimates as to space were found
entirely inadequate. The buildings
since constructed for agriculture
alone are almost equal to the original
designs, and there are still piles OF
goods here that can find no space for
exhibition. All Europe will, of course,
be represented at Philadelphia, but it is
doubtful whether any power will make
as good show there, except England,
AZ the United States does at this Expo
sitiop. Whatever may be the cost, it
will not DO for Philadelphia to make
any backward step in its comparison
with Vienna, for as Vienna has out.
