The Old Congress and the New.

The existence of The Fortytirst
Congress was terminated March 4th
st twelve o'clock at night. Its rec
ord is made. We regret that it does
not in every particular command
popular approval. Not so much
what it has done, as what it has left
undoney is source OF complaint
1t has not distinguished itself by
that clear and statesmanEke appre-
citation of the great question upon
which the people desired prompt
action. One great measure of JUS
tice was permitted to languish
throughout the session, finally To
die. We allude to the bill apportion-
ing Senators and Representatives
under the new census, so as to give
the states entitled thereto additional
representation in the Forty-second
Congress. Our commerce Ian
cuisines, yet nothing was done, not
withstanding the Presidents earnest
recommendation upon the subject.
Other great and vital questions
pressed upon the attention of the
country-of tariff, commercial polity
the simpliiicaiion of the revenue
system, and of finance, yet they were
passed by in the general desire to
consume time in making speeches.
1t is true that much good work was
done, but 1t wa.s not commensurate
with the opportunities nor the ability
of the legislative bodies of its
grade
The present Congress will contain
a much larger Democratic represen-
tation than the last. The presence
OF this element will, We trust, admon-
ish the Republicans that it Will be
necessary to move carefully and
cautiously. There is still a good
working majority in the upper and
lower houses of the National
Legislature. The Democrats are
powerless to defeat good measures
or to pass bad Dies. The Repub-
lican patty is still solely responsible
for the leg station that will be enact
ed for two years to come Uron
the course Of Congress during that
period will depend the success CT
our party at the Presidential and
State elections in 1872. Tie De-
mocracy have committed great blum
ders within the last twelve years
They are still given TO folly. But it
is by no means certain that the Re-
publicans will so largely profit by
them in the future as they have done
in the past. If the people have
choice between wisdom and folly,
they will choose the former. Ii
they only have choice between two
folies, they will jlst as likely choose
Democratic rolly as Republicans folly.
The dominant party must pursue a
Iolicy so distinguished for wisdom
and in accord with the interests of
the people that the Democracy will
not gain any vantage ground La

! The last sad scene has been acted. The
humiliation Of France is complete. Paris
proud Paris,-the admired of the world,
the Glory of France-has been troJ6en
beneath the conquering feet of victorious
foe. Her once gay gardens empty and
desolaie, her polite people fercely rude
with scarcely suppressed rage. her palaces
desccrated by the presence of hated en-
envy, her streets and memorial statutes
drsped in mourning, while her polished
| pavenents ring beneath the clankiDg
steps O. an army proudly conscious that
il is making lis triumphal march, and her
great squares are made the camping,
ground of an armed invsder-poor Paris
presents a spectacle that provokes the
pity and excites the sympathy OF all who
can understand how severe must be the
blow which can humbled French pride TO
that suppliant condition which will induce
it TO submit 10 such humiliation. The
entry OF tie German army into Paris was
the climax of the war, and was Of greater
significance perhaps than any article Of the
treaty which was forced upon the defeated
nation. Its discussion is said to have &C.
cGpied the negotiation ten times longer
than The question of territorial ccssion.
That ii was finally accepted is the strong.
est evidence that future historians will
adduce 10 prove how complete was the
German victory. 1t was SO understood
by the French people, and although the
authorities were obliged TO submit TO Bis
marck's dic;ation, it was for long time
feared that the people would resist the
grand triumphal entry into Paris, by
which King William proposed TO celebrate
bis victories. Previous TO the final ar
rangement CT the programme, there was
an evident disposition on the part of the
populace to resist, but the earnest appeals
of the leading editors, and officials of
every party and shade of opinion, induced
a calmer spirit to prevail, and caused the
occupation TO be made without any ex-
traordinary excItemen On the part Of the
people. ~
Thus ends the war. The Second army
has already commenced to march home
ward. The headquarters of the Emperor
and Won Mcltke were removed from Yer
sailles on Tuesnay. Bismark will follow
the Emperor in few days. Prince Fred
erick Charles has been appointed com.
mander-in-chief of the army Of occupa-
tionin France. His headquarters will he
at Rbeims.--Interior.

WHITE sPECKs IN BUTTER ,--WHAT
ARE THEY.

To The Editor of The Vermont Farmer:
have believed that the white specks that
are sometimes so plenty in buttermlk, and
in the water with which the butter is washed,
were particles of caseine or curd that by high
Temperature of milk and cream acquired
quite firm consistency. But recently met
young farmer in Glover, who with a lot of
good cows, good milk room and constant
attention has made his dairy very profitable.
In many Cummings the white specks were
very abundant, and were separated from the
buttermilk by straining, also the first wash
water was strained and about two quarts of
these specks were thus gathered, besides
leaving enough in the butter to show somc-
what.
Now the question arose, what are these
white specks, and it was answered by putting
them in can and churning them until u
good quantity of butter was the result The
conclusion reached was that the white specks
were dried particles of cream-dried by an
unusual current of wind coming in Mt the
window of the milk room, sufficient to agi-
tate the surface of the milk, so affecting the
surface particles of cream that they would
not change to butter in the usual time and
with the usual amount of agitation. Yet
continued churning changes them to butter;
therefore they are not curd or cascine.
This eXperimenter has made over two
hundred pounds of butter from each of his
eight COWS, and two loads of muck pass into
and out of his pig pens each week, showing
that the fertility of the farm is regarded us
important rs the manufacture of butter.
My milk room is well ventilated 1t is
desirable that the air should come into the
room below the pans, and go out near the
top of the room. Wehave not been troubled
with specks in butter this summer. j.

The truth is that farmers made money during
the past ten years easier than the most hope
ful dared to predict. If this year seems hard
and Improbable, think of the good times
past and of the farm improvements and ac-
emulation of property which have attended

and again assume the purple. In order
to oheckmats the intriguer his impeach-
