The Dairy House in the Central Park VIII

building il TO be used as ! cattle pen. The cat
tie, frcsh from the n,arishing grass in the Park,
will supply rich milk Tor tho children who will
seek il, paying for what they use; and butter,
too, viii be made on the premises. But exactly
what style Of churn the Com s.iOners viii adopt
is becoming serious question. Already, the
lion. HoRAcB GRsELEY has been coniidentially
consulted about the matter. lie proposes to
Lave number Of ciurni Of different patterns

Commissioners We horc he will make the

make butter better and quicker than anybody

Seventh Ward, is going to run loi Congress in
the Fifth District as a Young Democrat. We do

When Horace GREELEY wanted 10 be
Governor fifteen years ego, and HENBr j. RAY.
NoSD was made Licutenant.G Governor instead,
docs any one remember how mad Mr.. GREELEr
got? Or will any ono say that his anger was not
jast' 1t was one Of lis charges against Gov.
SEWARD, in hiS famous letter breaking up the
firm Of SawARp, WErp 4 GnirLEy. What then
must be lis feelings now over the nomination Of
Woourotp' lie called RAYMoNp little villain:
what cpithct will lie apply to his present success
tul competitor?
Our correspondent at Saratoga spoke the
other day of Gen. STEWART L. wooproRp, tho
Republican candidate for Governor, as "stay-
at.homc General" This is erroneous and I'M
just. lie served actively during the war in
Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina, begin
ming as a private in the l27th New York Nolun-
tcers, and ending as Colonel Of the Thirty fifth
I. $. Colyrcd Inflnry. Though not a fighter
by nature, lie was ,od soldier as he is good
man. lie is a handsome orator, faithful TO his
friends and to his party, not marked By any
ecccu,ricitics or very prominent ch. racteristics
ofany kind, except goodness ofheart and kindness
f,r al men. When hc became Lieutenant.G Cover
nor, he was the right man in the right place; and
If there were any chance Of his being elected to
| the Office for which he has now been nominated,
We should be sure OF an honest diguifed and
| dccorous administration. But that such man
should defeat HoaAcE GRE-LsT ia indeed too hard
| Wien ve opposed NJ. GRgELrY's nomination on
the ground that lie could 40. possibly be elected,
| We had no idea that Gen. WooDToRD could pos
s.5ly be t.Lcn up and nominated in his place
MARSHALL o. RoBEuTs having declined before
hand, it was our expectation that some man o
strength. like EpvIS d. Mon9AH, GEoRGE Or
! DIXIE, Aukzi.u D. JAMS, GEoGGE NAruBUS, VII
| LIAM \. WuuEJrR. or ANpprw u. Wur-, woul,
| have been selected. But we ooaf,ss that Gen
| WooproEp, good follow as he is, and popu' " rs h
| il. had not been included in our calculations c
probability, and il seems 10 US rather rough tina
| WoonyoRD should be taken. However, he can
not properly he described as a stny--t-home Gen
crui. In fact Le was not General in the Wa
az all his last active service was as q Colonel
and he got Lis brevet after al was over, O!on
with ,hat great crowd upon whcL. Mr. SrASTo
60 literally conferred that distinction.
