NEW York, March S.-Many years ago, when the
swin milk excitement WIS the all absorbing topic
OF the day here, when men grew rich by means Of
the disgraceful traffic in the milk of human un-
kindness to innocent COWS, tie Ledger made its
mark by exposing the cow-herd-ly details, and the
eTpose had the effect Of increasing the circulation
OF the Ledger and stopping the circulation Of the
Objectionable milk Now, however, the evil has
taken fresh growth the poor COWS are again shut
uD, cabined, cribbed and confined in dark, dank
places, and thoy give quantity Of bad, diseased
milk, which is sold for good healthy greenback.
though the Ledger may not take up arms again in
defence OF the poor animals the COWS have another
champion and defender, or rather q host Of them,
and the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals has drawn the sword in their behalf I
cali to mind tho pretty little nursery rhyme where
gratitude to the poor COW is expressed in the
touching lines, 81 thank the pretty COW, who gives
me milk to soak my bread" &C., and shudder at
the thought that ungrateful men should subject
the poor creatures to such torture as brings on all
diseases that COW flesh is heir Co. for the purpose
Of increasing the quantity, whilst it deteriorates
the quality Of the bread soaking compound. Por-
tia says that the quality Of mercy is not srained
the quality of swn milk is perhaps best discovered
by straining the difference between mercy
and milk, wherefore must all men in general,
and milk-men in particular, be merctful to the
poor cows, and to bring about this consummation
SO devouty to be wished for this new phase Of the
rn1lky-way, HANS BERaH and his cc-lahbrors are
st1aining every nerve to throw all the milk awny
that comes from the swilHngs process. l. So.

prietors Of the gift establishment at No. 62 Broad

to them in the shape and form Of squad Of Off

These honest gentlemen were proprietors Of the

Thousands Of yellow envelopes were found ad-
dressed to thousands Of green individuals. reading
for the most part in the rural districts and tickets
with lucky numbers were scattered about most
abundantly, but the s1,2s7,14s were not found.
The bankers" however, were az1ested,s together
with many outsiders, or rather insiders, who we're
interested in the success Of the scheme MI are now
held in durance vile.
The Fenians are much elated on the strength Of
the news Of the uprising in Ireland, which is gene
rally believed; taken at best, however, there is not
much IN the news to be e;ated or violently excited
about, yetthe Fenians are rather imaginative and
hopeful, and they hug the belief that the great
Irish ball has been opened ut last. How the dance
Will end remains to be seen; meanwhile the sIrishr

The members of the new Dental College eat their
first annual dinner last night at the st James
toasts were drunk to men who deal in teeth, and
it was proven .onclusively that when glass is in
serted between the front teeth of an individual
and the liquor contained therein is carefully
poured down into the throat, through the mouth,
no harm ensues, and the dental organization re-
mains unimpaired, and ready for repetition OF
the process. It was a feast of reason, and teeth
and flow of good wines, and the Dentists had 9
Jolly time generally, making arst-rate speeches,
singing good SONGS and telling stories with the
most approved good order. They seemed, all OF
them, to be such whole-souled, jovial, good
natured set Of people, these happy drawers Of teeth
that one could hardly believe that they were the
same awful creatures who ter1ify US so when we
take our seat in their easy (2) chairs and trembe
as they handle their instruments Of torture.
One among the good things said at the dinner,
or rather after the dinner, was in the form OF a
conundrum, wherein it is asked Why dentists are
always sad and to which the reply is that they are
always looking down in the mouth. >s
The tumble that gold has taken in the past two
or three days has been the making of many Of the
members Of the Gold Board, and the unmaking OF
as many others. The excitement in the Gold
Room when fluctuations are great and sudden is
most intense; to see and hear hundreds Of men
bawling out at the same moment TO tho extent Of
their lungs, to note the pallor on the cheeks Of
those who have lost heavily, and the flushed faces
Of those whom fortune has favored, is sight that
once seen can never be forgotten. ES.5; s
