Facts about 1filk--Cream cannot rise through

Facts about Afilk--Cream cannot rise through
q great depth of milk. If milk is Therefore de-
sired to retain its cream for a time, it should
be put into deep narrow dish; and if it be de-
sired to free it most completely of cream it
should be poured into broad fiat dish, not
much exceeding one inch in depth. The evolu-
ton Of cream is facilitated by rise, and retar-
ded by depression of temperature. At the
usual temperature of the diary, 80 deg, fahren-
heit, all the cream will probably rise in 26 hours
but at rs deg, it will probably all rise in less
than half that time, and when milk is kept near
the freezing point the cream will rise very
slowly because it becomes partially solidified.
In wet and cold weather the milk is less rich
than in dry and warm; and on that account
more cheese is obtained in cold than in warm
though not in thundery weather. The season
has its effects-the milk in the spring is sup.
posed to be the best suited for cheese, and in
autumn the butter keeping better than that of
summer. Cows less frequently milked than
others give richer milk and consequently much
better. The mornings milk is richer than the
evenings. The last drawn milk of each milk
ing, at all times and seasons, is richer than the
first drawn, which is the poorest.

The Wife Of Henry Clay--Forney: the
Clerk of the House of Representatives, though
he has retired from the editorship of the Penn
syluanian, still furnishes that paper with an n-
teresting series of sketches entitled "Glances
at Congress-" in which he takes connected
views of things in general at Washington. In
his last number he thus alludes to the venera-
bic eonsort of the great American statesman
who is now dying in the Federal city:
Do you know that Mrs. Henry Clay has nev-
er visited Washington? Her domestic charac-
ter seems to have been formed for the quiet
shades of Ashland; and though her woman's
heart beat high when she saw ssyoung Harry
with his beaver on" in the midst of the great
est events that have made his name immortal,
yet by her the blessing of home and of fresde
were to be preferred Now that the statesman
is wasting away, hef presence would doubtless
alleviate his sufferings and prepare him for his
final reckoning. But now she is too old to come.
She could not bear the toilsome journey from
Lexington, and she remains as it were watch
er for the fatal news. A few days ago, she
sent him bouquet of flowers; but when the
reached here they were faded--a melancholy
evidence that both the giver and receiver were
fast Fastening to that bourne from which no
traveller returns. The old man eloquent held
it to his lips for few seconds and said with
mournfuI pathos, athe perfume is almost gone?"
But not so with his fame. That will live forever
green in the memory of man. His physical
frame will decay, but his great history will new
er be forgotten. Of him and his place, in the
regard of men in the dim future, it may be we'll
said:
"You may break, you may ruin the vase if you
will,
But the scent of the flowers will hang round it

Democratic Opinions Of Gen. Cass--The
Macon Telegraph, of the 18th instant, which is
one of the leading Democratic papers of Geor-
ga, thus speaks of Gen. Cass, whom it stigma
tises an ''expIoded DemagQgue
We have again and again made the assertion
that Gen. Cass, if the candidate of the Demo
cratic party, could not get the vote of more
than one Or two Southern States. We base
this assertion on our own knowledge of the
deep-seated antipathies of the people to this
incorrigible stipendiafy, together with the ex-
pressed opinions and sentiments of the leading
Democratic journals in all the Southern States
These journals, without an exception, from
Maryland to Texas, declare, with perfect conf
dence, that Gen. Cass, if nominated, would not
only be beaten, but would divide and break
down the Democratic party in all the Southern
States. We give this morning two or three
specimens from leading Democratic journals,
of the opinions entertained by the Democracy
of the soundness and availability of Gen. Cass.
We might fill our paper with these extracts
from leading Democratic journals from all the
Southern States, going to show the deep and
seated hostility of the Democracy to Gen.
Cass, but these will be quite sufficient to show
the madness and folly of those who still per-
sst in efforts to cumber the party with this ex-
ploded Demagogue.

The Democratic Ptatlorm.-We are not
prophetic, but sometimes conjecture events
pretty well; and we are now willing to risk our
reputation for skill in that particular thing, by
asserting our belief that the Democratic nomi-
mating Convention will not "declare the tinality
of the COMPROMISE" They who know the posi-.
ton Of the editor of the Union, who this NOR
ming retires from it, and who read carefully the
general reasons assigned, will not probably
conclude as we have done. But we have better
and stronger reasons for our belief Wash

The Escape Of Thomas F.. .Meagher.--We

of Mr.. Meagher, one Of the Irish exiles, from
Van Dieman's Land The New York Truth
Teller contains the following extract from a
private letter, dated on board British ship, at
Hobart Town, January 18th, which would seem
to confirm the rumor:
"Meagher has made his escape from this

not He wrote to the police magistrate of his
district, to say that he did not wish his leave
extended. Some say he left before the letter
was delivered, others say he did not, but that
he remained until a person who was sent to
watch him came to his house. He came out
and asked the man whether he wanted him.
He said Mo- He then went into the house

E!opemem-A Philadelphia letter of the 9Th
inst, to the Baltimore Times, says: "a lady of
the upper ten,' in Chesnut street, was found
missing by her spouse this morning, under ra-
ther mysterious circumstances. Some short
time since the good man took it into his head
that he ought to have her instructed in some
of the fashionable dances. She made no serious
objection-a professor was engaged-the les
sons commenced. Her progress seemed Won
derful---the more she danced the more she
loved dancing; and now her husband looks upon
it as "a very strange thing, that neither dancing
master nor wife is to be found"

ate parts thus constructed were in due time
collected in Baltimore, and put together by the
inventor himself, in room into which no per-
son has been permitted to enter.

satisfaction and beyond the expectations Of
those most deeply interested in it. have had
an introduction to, and some conversation

motive agent amounting to almost Independent
self-action. It is asserted-and the truth of
the assertion, of course, will be established or
fasified when the invention is made public
that this new momentum can be so increased
as to propel the largest ocean steamers, Or

bear the slightest comparison to it in point of

Marshal erard.--The Pacific brings us
news Of the death of Marshal Gerard. We be-
lieve he was born in Lorraine, in l774. In the
early campaigns Of the revolution, he was aid
to Bernadotte. During the Prussian campaign
in 1906, he was made Brigadicr- General, and
soon after, Commander Of the Legion of Honor,
and placed at the head of the French Staff in
Denmark. In 1909 he greatly distinguished
himselfat the bridge of Lintz, and covered him
self with glory at the battle of Wagrow, where
he led the Saxon calvary. In 1912, at Va.
lentina and Moskoua, his conduct was so admi-
rable that Napoleon gave him the division of
General Gudin, who had been killed at Frank
fort on the Oder. Gerard, with & small body
of troops, defeated 1000 Russians, who at
tempted to intercept his passage to Berlin. In
1914 he distinguished himself again at Dein-
vile, at Nangis, and at Montereau, where he
captured 5000 Austrians At the restoration,
he was sent to Hamburg to drive back the
French troops, and was much honored by the
King.
When Napoleon rcappeared, he joined him,
and received the appointment of Generai-in-
Chief OF the army of the Moselc, and, rs its
head, carried the position and village of Ligny,
to the defeat of Blucher He next
acted with Grouchy, who was man9uyring OH
the Dyle, and receive wound. He earnestly
entreated Grouchy to march to the relief of the
Emperor while engaged at Waterloo, and if
his advice had been followed, 'he result of that
day would probably have been far different
Since then, Gerard has not been in active life.
From Louis Philippe he received the baton of
a Marshal. In 1906 he married the daughter Of
Count Vaencc.
