Dr. Anderson says he has found by prac-
tical analysis, in one instance, that the last
cup of milk drawn from the cows udder
contained sixteen times as much cream as
the first one. The separation of cream from
milk takes place, in part, in the udder of
the COW, particularly if the COW is suffered
to stand at rest for some time previous to
milking. Ii there are people who doubt
that there is difference in richness of milk
first drawn from COWS and that of the last
drawn, their doubts will be speedily remov-
ed by milking half dozen COWS and setting
the first half drawn from each COW separate
from the latter

The impression has prevailed IN some
quarters that General Grant would resign
his military Office to-day, but there nave
been no indications at any time to WarFau,

roosor why he should resign either now or

So boodouarters here. That change would
cnmc after Grant went into the White
House. and the great probability is that
Sherman would be appointed General in
his place. Some have imagined that If the
Republicans elect their ticket tomorrow,
their President, content 10 remain IN the
high Office he now occupies, would resign
the Presidency in favor Of Mr.. Colfax; and
no doubt hopes of such contamination arc
dcvoutly held even now. But they are
vain: there will he no such event to IT.. i.

1t is understood that quite lvely com

annlicants for the vacant position OF br'Sa

on the subject. Many prominent officers
here think that Brevet Major-Gcneral

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-11-04

a London paper says that it is not gen
orally understood how the all-allve full
sized train passes along the stage in the
new sensational scene. The other night,
at the Surrey Theatre, the audience were
enlightened. The engine met with an OBJ
struction in the middle Of the stage, stop
ped dead, and the following carriages and
tender rushed on with the momentum, and
shot, one after the other, into the engine,
and closed up like Q telescope. 1t was very
effective, and, rs railway accident, was
quite as remarkable as the runnlng-oVe1
business.
The GOODNESS of Charles Mathews in the
farce " Cool as Cucumber " is frequently
surpassed in real life and we are now pri'
vileged to record one instance Of this which
would put that clever comedian to the
blush. Two men narrowly escaped drown
ing recently at Havre, France. They were
intoxicated, and in this state fell into the
harbor. The custom-house officers succeed
ed in rescuing both from their perilouS
position, when one of them actually urged
his deliverers to dive again and get him
his hat.
