CAN WE RAISE OUR Own CoFFEE?.
a circular from the Department OF Agrl-
culture says that the conditions of lati-
tude, climate, and soil of part of the
United States lead to the conclusion that
the coffee plant or tree can be cultivated
to some extent in this country with sue
cessful results. The total importation OF
coffee into the United States in 1876
amounted to S39, ,7S9, ,246 pounds, and cost
$50, ,7SS, 1897. 1t has been established by
the best authorities on the subject that
great warmth of climate is not absolutely
essential to the growth of the coffee
plant, but a climate characterized by
neither extreme heat nor cold, but pos
sessing a fair amount of humidity. The
climate and soil of Florida, Lower Cali
fornia, and part of Texas, there rs
every reassn to believe, would answer
these conditions. In California the ex.
perimen: has been tried of planting the
berry of coffee obtained from Costa Rica,
and The result reported as satisfactory:
The fruit of the coffee tree resembles,
when ripe, the common cherry. Each
berry contains two seeds, which are the
coffee of commerce. Their fat sides lie
opposed 20 each other in the center Of
the pulp, and are separated by a thin
layer of this and by tough membrane,
which closely envelopes them. When
dried this pulp or cherry becomes q sort
of pod, which is removed BY means OF q
mill and winuowing machine. They are
picked from the tree by hand, or, .if al
lowed to remain until ready to fail, are
shaken off upon cloths placed on: the
ground to receive them. The shrub is
planted in warm situations, generally on
the slopes of hills, and in soil which does
not retain the rains which fall on it.
1t is usual to plant about 900 trees to
the acre.. and the yield ofa good season,
and of this number Of trees in full bear
ing, is about 1000 pounds of coffee.

tax expenditure. The funds derived from
this tax are usually expended during the
first months of the year; hence the neces-
sity for full attendance during those
months.

The Sai0u MYslery.

In the report of the circumstances attending
the death of William G. Jackson of Scion, as
published day or two since, it was mentioned
that Jackson discovered bottle filled with
some kind of liquid in his hay-mow and showed
it to his neighbor Wilbur. saying that he feared
it was poison. This bottle was discovered by
MI. Jackson in the latter part of May, and was
put up in cupboard in Jackson's house, with
out any attempt at concealment. He had
shown it to Wilbur and had expressed some
doubt about it. The contents were evidently
spirits. A few days afterward Mrs. Wilbur
was i'll, and her husband, having no spirits in
the house, borrowed this bottle, although jack
son advised him not to take it. He took
teaspoonful of the contents himself, and ad-
mnistered about as much more to his wife
Half an hour afterward both were taken with
cramps in the stomach, bat on the application
of the usual remedies the symptoms passed
away The bottle was returned to Jackson's
cupboard.
On the day after Jacksoh's death, Mrs
jackson told Benson that people might say
that her husband was drunk when he was
killed if that bottle remained in the house,
and Benson thereupon threw the contents out
and hid the bottle in stumr in neighboring
field. He pointed it out to the officers at once
when inquiry was made for it, and it is now in
the hands of chemist.
1t appeared at the inquest furthermore, that
Benson had attempted to poison himself, some
time before. by swallowing solution of rat
poison in alcohol, but his life was saved.
1t appeared Furthermore, that Jackson, on the
evening of jane 18th, returned to the house
after milking, and then went back to turn the
colt into the pasture. It appeared also that
Jackson had said that the colt though usually
kind, was treacherous.
Benson has left the jackson farm

The Odd Fellows Excursion.

As was expected the excursion of the Odd
Fellows of Portland to Cushing's Island
yesterday was tAe biggest affair of the kind
this season. The day was one well calculated
to start up Island travel and the water in the
bay was as smooth as could have been wished.
The weather in the city was far too hot for
comfort-the thermometer ranging up among
the nineties. The weather thus no doubt had
much to do with the crowd but the cheapness
and convenience of the tip were well and
favorably considered. The committee bad the
exclusive use of the steamers Gazelle and
Express, and they made trips constantly
between Custom House wharf and the Island
from as early as 9 o'clock in the morning
until that hour in the evening. The number
that participated in the excursion cannot be
accurately stated now as the tickets have not
been counted but there must have been at
least 2500.
The people entertained the mselves in various
ways. There was an abundance of swings
throughout the grove at either end of the
Island, the bowling alley was open and the
dancing hall was free to all. Chambers band
furnished delightful music for dancing at the
Ottawa house.
If there was any fault found with the COM
mittee it would be 10 not supplying more good
cool water. The only we'll at White Head
was captured by Yankee who proceeded to
charge five cents a glass for the water. The
committee blocked his game when it was made
known to them.
The moonlight excursion in the evening was
very fitting finale to this successful excur-
sion
The Portland daily press., 1878-07-19

THE WATER SUPPLY.-The failure of the
supply the past few days is not as many have
supposed from bursting of the wrought iron c.
ment-lined pipes, but from lead joints having
blown out of the cast iron pipes laid under Lit
tie River. The first one blown out undermin-
ed the pipe causing it to drop down. 1t was
repaired, water let on and the same thing &C.
Cured at the next joint. This was repaired,
together with all joints near it, water let on and
the city was supplied from until a. NJ yes
terdsy, when there being compressed air at the
quarter turn, where the pipe dips under the
river caused another blowout, actually separ-
ating the two ends Of the pipe some four
inches. An air valve has been put on and the
joints connected up, and it was expected that
by midnight the city would be again fully sup
piled. Owing to the liability of another acct
