THE LAST MILK FROM TIE l'ppER.
DR.. Anderson, in DickcrSon's Practi-
cal Agriculture, says he has found by
practical analysis, in one instance, that
the last cup Of mill, drawn from the cow
ud,ler contained sixteen times rs 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. If there
are people who doubt that there is diff
ference in the richness OF milk first drawn
from cows and that last drawn, their
doubts will bo speedily removed by milk
ing half dozen cows and setting the
first half drawn from each COW separate
from the last half.

A significant feature of the Democratic
celebration of the 9Th of January, last
night, was the unmistakably hopeful look
worn by the participants. One year ago
the Democratic committee had uphill
work 10 raise the steam for a creditable
celebration; this year it was a decidedly
spontaneous and enthusiastic affair, bring.
ing out more Of orr solid, sedate Demo
cratic citizen than we ever rememberto have
seen together before on such an occasion.
Everybody looked radiantly hopeful. Not
a wrinkle was to be seen on the smiling
face of the President. The consciousness
that "my policy" so much ridicnled one
year ago, is row treated. with respectful
consideration. seemed to irradiate every
lineament of his face. Judge Black was
in exuberant spirits, and his ample wig,
which like Lord Broughman's nose, has
aexihility making it correspond to the
workings of his cOuntenance, fairely danced
as his mobile brows went up and down in
the course of his buoyant remarks. Messrs.
Doolittle, Marshall, Ewing, Brooks, Blair,
Hoover and the others, were in the sun.
NEST of moods, and general air of cheer
fulness and trust in the good things Provi-
dence might have in store for the Demo-
crazy pervaded the assemblage. In fact.

the air of men who expect TO win in the

Doth Of November he was made Major
Central Of volunteers, and next month
at the battle of Fredericksburg, he led
the unsuccessful assault on Maryes
Heights. At the battle of ChancellorsN
vile in May, 1868, he commanded the
second army corps, and was the Federal
rear guard in the retreat from that field.
At Gettysburg, on the first of July, be
commanded the left centre, composed OF
the first second and eleventh corps, and
on the Sd Of July, during the
last Confederate assault, he was
dangerously wounded, and was pros
trated until the spring of 1864 The
Federal success at Gettysburg was cons
coded to be in great part due to his gem
eralship. He was again at the head Of
the second corps at the opening ef
Grants campaign in the Wilderness, and
on the 18th Of May, 1864, by his victory,
he achieved the only success which re.
lieved the series of disasters that for
seven DAYS had belallen the Federal
arms 1t was upon that occasion that
Confederate Generals johnson and Sut-
art were captured with great loss. Gen.
Hancock participated prominently in all
the engagements of that campaign on the
North Anna and the James, and around
Petersburg, and in August 1864, was
made Brigadier General in the regular
army. In December, on account of
physical prostration from his wounds, he
asked to be relieved, and was placed in
command Of the first corps Of veterans at
Washington City In March, 1865, he
was placed at the head Of a select army
of 1000 veterans, with view of moving
on Lynchburg and completing the in
vestment of Lees forces, but before he
was prepared to move the Confederate
General had surrendered
On May Both, 1866, the thanks of
Congress were voted by resolution to
Gen. Hancock for his distinguished SER
vices, and he was made Major General
by brevet in the regular army, and in
July ofthat year be was made full Major
General in the place Of Gen Sherman
who had been raised to the rank of
Lieutenant General Since then he has

The palm of infamy is being contested
by the thirty-six Senators of the United
States who voted to reinstate Stanton
in the Cabinet of the President against
the wishes Of that officer, and Stanton
himself in eonsenting to be placed there
under such circumstances Both parties
have achieved acts at once undignifed
and indecent, to say nothing of their il
legality-acts at which the instincts of
gentlemen revolt-acts for which no
parallel can be found in the records of
any government. and which are a nas
tional disgrace it is difficult to charac-
terize either as it deserves, but we rather
think that Stanton's is the meaner and
more despicable Ours have been kicked
out of doors, and with downcast looks
have erawled in again. This is the only
comparison that applies to his position as
the nominal head of the War Depart
ment
Elsewhere we furnish a full descrip-
ton of the whole proceeding together

THE RADICALS AND THEIR DUMMY.


The New York World forcibly argues
that the longing for Grant as their candi-
date, by certain of the Radical leaders, is
a confession of the weakness of that cause,
as demonstrated by recent events; that
they dare not choose a man with positive
and pronounced Radical views, but seek
under fuss and feathers and gilt stars and
gunpowder glory, to delude the people. 1t
thus dissects the great epauletted dummy !;
What has the fact that General Grant
commanded certain Of our armies to do
with the momentous political issues now
before us2 What light can he shed on
these great questions? He has contributed
no more to the political thought of the
country than the horse on which be rides.
If his horse were talked of for President,
we could get Just as many political ideas
out Of him, as anybody has succeeded in
getting out of his rider. General Grant,
the victor, is Of just az little political sig
ni6cauce as was Captain Grant, the tanner.
That the tanner rose to be a General is no
argument either for negro governments in
the South or against them. What could be
more contemplate and irrelevant than to
say, General Grant fought the battle of
the Wilderness, therefore the negroes
are qualified to govern the South )"
or, General Grant, by vast superior
ity of numbers, defeated General Lee,
therefore the Southern States are
not in the UnionP' But if this
be not the reasoning which connects Gem
eral Grant with reconstruction, what is it
He may say yes 10 the Republican
policy because the Republicans propose to
nominate him he may say no" 10 the
Democratic policy because the Democrats
do not propose 10 nominate him but any
sensible man is as capable of this reach Of
craftsmanship as General Grant. But
what has General Grant contributed, what
is he capable Of contributing, 10 the eluci-
dation of the great questions which oc~
cupy the public mind He has never
been credited with an original idea even
in military strategy. His success was due
10 hard fighting and unsparing expendi-
ture of life the success of superior num-
bers, not Of superior brains. A man vino
is no thinker in his own profession is not
likely TO be thinker out of it. Is a po-
htical zero plus pair Of epaulettes COM
petent to solve great questions Of public
policy Nobody has ever cared to know
trhat General Grant thinks on public
questions, bat only to know on Srhich SIDE
he thinks. Il is taken for granted that his
political capacity is only sufficient to chose
a party, not sufficient to throw any new
light on a policy. But is this time for
poverty of thought to take the place Of
craftsmanship Shall the country get up
a dumb idol when it needs the inspiration
Of god

THE San Francisco Commercial Bulletin,
of late date, says: 'Eor a month past
every steamer from the East has brought
unusually large numbers of women. Over
one-third of all the cabin passengers have
been of the female gender. The matri-
monial market of the Pacific coast, all
though not in the line of our legitimate re-
marks, is becoming quite an object of at
tention at the East. The war consumed
over 100000 men, and in some States the
excess of women over the sterner sex is
almost seven or eight to one. The Pacific
States and territories contain nearly thirty
times more men than women, and if the
right sort of the latter seek this market in
quiet way, the probabilities are greatly
in favor of changing their names soon
after their arrival. This would result in
building up thousands of homesteads, rem
dering our population more stable and
moral, increasing respect and obedience to
the laws, improving and unfolding our re,
sources, stiffening the market generally,
and lettering our condition in all other re-
spects."

ADJUSTMENTS IE New YoRK.-From the
internal revenue returns of the several
places of amusements in New York and
Brooklyn, it appears that their gross re-
ceipts for the last year amounted to S.
1854, of which sum, over half million
of dollars were paid to see the spectacular
piece called the Black Crook. Counting
the money paid for hacks, boquets, gloves,
extra toilets, suppers, and other expendis
lures incident to attending places of amuse-
ment, the whole cost would aggregate not
far from 100000, as in most cases the
mere price of admission is the smallest
item of expense. This, in the face Of stag
nation in trade and hard times generally,
may be regarded as rather formidable
showing, and goes towards confirming the
doctrine used by many, that in unsettled
and Oppressive timet, places of amusements
are most prosperous, as people then resort
to them to find relief from Responding
thoughts and unpleasant forebodings.
