MILK lNSPECTOR.-A gentleman who
is not well pleased with the quality of
the milk with which his family is serv-
ed by his milk-man, declared to us yes
terday that milk inspector is more
demanded by the interests of the citi-
zens of Wheeling than is coal weigher.
He says the cream sold is not better
than coed skinned milk should be, and
that the milk has more the taste of
swlll than the tactical fluid of an honest
cow Our friend is clearly unfortunate
IN his selection OF milk. man; for we
think there must be some honest nsn
among them. But, upon reflection, we
coincide in opinion with our friend that
milk inspector would be a useful Off.
Ger, not only to protect our citizens
from unprincipled pedlers, but also tc
protect the honest vender from suffer
ing from the dishonesty of the les.
scrupulous If his craft.
The fact that feed is high and scare,
and that good milk COWS command
enormous prices, is no excuse for adul
terating milk. If the present price o
good milk is too low, increase it, but a
all hazards let us have good milk.

Under these favOring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
tween the Missouri River and the base of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD has
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation of the
Pacific TO the summit of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east of the Cali.
fOrnia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion of the whole
line, the probabilities Of the through connection
with the Eastern lines being effected in 1870
amount almost TO certainty.

SensibIe Suggestions.

We find the following sensible sugges-
tons in the last number of the Paris IN
teIligencer
The quiet but onward progress of Nash
vile IS perceivable to the most superficial
observer In every direction the signs OF
improvements greet the eye; nor is the
style of improvement the least worthy of
notice-whether in the palatial residence
the magnificent marble front business
block or the spacious warehouse for the
storage of produce.
But while these evidences of prosperity
are pleasant to behold, especially In the
capital of our beloved and honored State,
there is a part of the picture which we
would fain be otherwise. We refer to the
ragged and unfinished condition of the
public grounds Immediately around the
capitol. While millions of the public
money has been uselessly expended and
squandered in various ways, there seems to
have been constantly exhibited towards the
improvement and decoration of Capitol
Hill niggardly parsimony unworthy of the
taste, liberality, public spirit and patriot
ism of the people of Tennessee. There
does not seem any material change IN the
general outlook within the last twenty
years, when first the political dreams of our
young manhood began to bud into exist
ence. Why not detail a sufficient force OF
convict labor at once to ornament and fin
ish these grounds, so that when strangers
or our own fallow-citizens of Tennessee
visit their capital they will not avoid part
of the city which otherwise might be rem
dered the most pleasant retreat.
