You cannot keep swine from the mire,
nor a "modern Democrat from bad
company. Andy Johnson, the acting
President Of these United States, is a
uDemocrat," and he herds with Copper
heads and "secesh" as naturally as any
porker wallows in the mire. 1t is his
nature, and he can't help following it,
that is, without more grace than 1t has
been his lot to receive. Wherever there
is q chance at dinner, champagne, whis-
ky and political speech-making, there
you will find Andy johnson, If he can
make any excuse for it. We had a fresh
illustration Of his propensity, last night,
at the National Hotel dinner. 1t was q
full-brown Democratic, partisan dinner,
with Copperheads making up a large
majority Of those present, and the Presi-
dent of the United States took his seat
at the table. Truly he is a man who
"cares nothing for the dignity" For
once he held his tongue, with the ex-
ception Of offering a toast which con-
tanned a hit at Congress, as is usual
with him. The Blair family were out
in force. Clampitt, Mrs. Surratt's coun-
sci, and Schade, the counsel for Writ,
were there, and to give some sort of re-
spectability to the concern, drunken
Salisbury, maudlin Cowan, and the
solemn Doolittle were present. It was a
partisan dinner from the beginning to
the end, and the President unquestion-
ably accepted the invitation to it as
such. The politicians here say it indi-
Gates that the President has cut loose
from all his Republican friends and gone
over to his former enemies. This is
ridiculous, for he went owe a year ago
TO the Copperheads, and he would this
day remove every Republican from office
if he did not find the Senate in his way.
There is q class of o%fice-holders who
deceive him or Congress. They are
riding two horses, and must sooner or
later come to grief. For my part wish
the Senate would give him a chance at
these two-faced towards, for it is a pub
lie calamity to continue such men in
office. But to the dinner: Blair senior
and Blair junior and Jerry Black did
the best of the talking. Black trotted
out the Supreme Court as if it was a
three year old colt which he had bought
with his own money. He patronized it
in a way that must be soothing to Mr..
Justice Field and Mr.. Justice Davis.
The dinner is the first step on the part
of the President and his Copperhead
friends in the great Presidential canvass.
1t has begun already and will 60 on till
another President is elected. Mr.. John
son has no concealments On this head,
but openly asserts his intention to 60
into the next Presidential election with
the reconstruction issue Washington
correspondence Springfield Republican.

ALDRme q, rH. ooLoRED ACTOR,

The Dramatic critic of Wakes. Spirit
Of The TShes, has the following account
Of Ira Aldridge, the celebrated colored
actor: A..
"About thirty years ago, being a
youth of twenty, Aldridge went to Eng
land with the elder Wallack, in the
humble capacity of body servant; but
SO great was his aptitude for the ORA
matte art, that, without anyinstructiou,
by mere association and contact with
that great actor, he inhaled and alb
sorbed sufficient skill to come out as an
actor himself, in Othello, in the slave,
and ia several other parts with which
he was identified by his color. For
many years he struggled on in England
in the arduous endeavor to win fame
and fortune upon the stage. At times
he was in the greatest poverty and dis
tress; but he held on bravely, and at
last his reward came. But he did not
reap his greatest success till he appeared
upon the continent in 1852. There his
victory wal complete and overwhelming.
"In Austria, Germany, France, and
pre-eminently in Russia, be has ever
since had the most s%tupendous triumphs.
In Moscow and St. Petersburg so great
is his popularity that the students have
often embarrassed the horses of his
chariot, and drawn him home from the
theater as II %conqueror. An extraordi-
nary fact about his success is that he
does not know the continental languages
we'll enough to employ them upon the
stage; and that from the very outset he
spoke his own parts in English. 1t is
high evidence of his ability, that in a
language utterly strange to his audi
ences, by sheer force of acting, by look,
tone, gesture, attitude, movement, he
should electrify and delight the most
cultivated nations of Europe. And from
the deep poverty Of his early years he
has risen to ~opuleuce. Nobility and
royalty have showered upon him their
favors. He has been knighted, and
bears the title of chevalier. He years
rings given to him by kings and queens;
and he could load his breast with the
decorations and medals Of the different
orders he has received.
"His wife is q Swedish baroness, and
his residence is a splendid mansion in
the suburbs of London, neal the Crystal
Palace, and he WINS not only the house
which be occupies, but five villas OF
equal proportions. There is not alive a
more successful man than Chevalier Ira
Aldridge, X. S., thirty years ago Wal
lacks body servant! What are the
practical bearings Of this career? They
are essentially to this effect: They show
what the negro a do if you will only
give him a chance. Had Ira Aldridge
remained in America, amid the cruelties
Of old social customs, he would have
probably remained q boot-black and u
hair-dresser. He had a chance! And
see what he has become-not only very
rich, a man of rank, title and high con-
s%ideration, but as refined and elegant a
gentleman as walks in Piccadilly or
drives in Hyde Park. Yet he is n pure
black, has the thick lip, the fiat nose
and the curly hair. Give the whole
race the same untrammelled field in
America which Ira Aldridge has had in
Europe, and who shall say that they
will not prove their fitness in every
utility and for every dutyT

A Snake Five Foot Long Milks \ Cow.
From the Albany Qndlana) Ledgsr.l
A gentleman in the lower part of the
city has a splendid milch cow. She Or
dinarily gives from two to three gallons
ut q milking. It is a remarkable fact
that for the last two months she has
given more milk in cold weather than in
warm. When the weather is cold her
milk is abundant, but when it mode
rates her supply is reduced down fire.
quently to less than a quart. This re-
markable freak attracted the notice Of
Of her owner several weeks ago, and
ever since he has been sedulously try
ing to divine the cause. At first he
thought she was MIXED by other par
ties than members of his family, but as
the cow was confined in a lot adjoining
his residence and closely watched, he
became satisfied no person other than
some one Of his family MIXED her.
During the recent extreme cold weather
her milk was abundant, but yesterday
(the weather having become very much
moderately she failed entirely.
This morning he was up early, deter
mined, if possible, to learn the cause of
the failure. He had hardly entered the
COW yard before his attention was at
trscted to a rustliug noise in some
chunks near the stable. Presently he
saw a huge snake emerge from under
meath the stable and crawl up to his
fayorite mixer and deliberately begin
stripping her teats. The snake was at
least Ave feet long, and as large as a
mans arm at the shoulder. It was
what is known as a cow snake. The
mystery was now explained. In cold
weather the snake lies dormant, hyber-
mating, but when the weather gets warm
he energies from his winter quarters.
The gentleman attempted to Kill the
snake, but failed. It ran back under
the stable, where 1t now securely lies
gorged with its fayorite beverage.
The gentleman who relates this snake
story is one of our most respected citi-
zens, and vouches for its truth.
