WASHINGTON AND ONO RAILRoAD.-This
is the amended title of the Alexandria, Lou
doun and Hampshire Railroad, with vciw to
it's extension to the Ohio River at Cincinnati.
We learn from Mr. Lewis Mckenzie that the
surveys of the extended road have been COM
pleted, and that the Engineers are now engaged
making up the Maps and Profles of the line to
the Ohio
He hopes to have the lines well under way
toward Winchester as soon as the Spring opens
and hopes to have the cooperation Of Washing
ton City to the extent of million of dollars, at
the rate of $4,000 per mile for every mile laid
down.
We have before us table of distances from
which the learn that there would be a saving of
l27 miles in the route from Cincinnati to Wash
ington over the present route; and We learn
from other sources that the proposed line is of
easy grades surprisingly so to persons ac
quainted with the mountainous region.
The distance from Cincinnati to New York
by way of Erie Railway and other connections
is $50 miles-by way of Washington 706-a
saving of 1874 miles; by New York Central sS3,
by way Of Washington 7O6-a saving of III
miles. So ofevery route, the saving would be
from ~ to 2O2 miles by Washington Charles

The Agricultural SOciety-IuIerestIng Meeting
The Butter Question.
A stated meeting of the Philadelphia Society
for the Promotion of Agriculture was held yes
terday afternoon i'll the hall, Ninth and Walnut
streets.
The minutes were read and approved.
At the meeting of last month a resolution was
adopted requesting members of the society," aud
others who make butter for their own use or for
sale to furnish specimens of their manufacture
to the meeting of to-day, when three persons
were to be appointed a committee to judge of
the quality of the butter sent.
Accordingly at the meeting numerous speci-
mems of the article were displayed on
long table spread in the hall. The sight was of
q very tempting character.
The president of the society appointed Messrs.
Darlington, johnson and Blight on the commit
tee TO judge of the merits of the butter. Tney
accordingly proceeded to their labors.
The various specimens were thoroughly eX-
amined and tested by the committee, who had a
splendid time all to themselves, the other mem-
bers of the society looking on Bread for the
purpose of use in connection with the butter
was furnished by the society, asd the free
lunch thus formed was thoroughly enjoyed by
the committee.
While the committee were pursuing their in
vestigation, the society filed up the time with
discussion on the subject of the proper food for
COWS the milk from which it is proposed to use
for the purpose of making butter. The discus
sion was taken part in by Messrs. Ingersoll,
Satherthwaite, aud Morris, and Mr. Harvey, of
The various specimens of butter submitted to
the judgment of the committee were numbered
only so as to procure fair Judgment The
names of the parties who had furnished the
specimens were retained by the President of the
society. To other members and the committee
the specimens were known only by the numbers.
The committee, after due deliberation, re-
ported that all the specimens submitted we're of
excellent quality throughout but that they con-
sidered No. s deserving of the first prize, No.
of the second, and No of the third The
President announced that No. was furnished
by Mr.. Satterth wait of Montgomery county, No.
4by Mr.. lngersoll, and No. by Mr.. Gowthrup
of Chester county.
resolution was offered on the centennial
exposition, applauding the action of Congress
in the matter of appointing q committee to CO.
operate with other societies of like character in
the Department of Agriculture. The discussion
of the resolution was postponed until the next
meeting, when definite information could be
obtained as to what will be done.
The three gentlemen who had taken the but
ter prizes gave the result of their experience in
the manufacture, and the breeds of COWS used,
after which the society adj ourned.

TAX.PAYING.
One Of the Sad Realities of Life-Vhe Ordeal
This mOrnina-Tho scene.

One of the Sad Realities Of Lfe-vhe Ordeal
This HOrnina-The scene.
There is nothing romantic in paying taxes,
nothing attractive, for in it we discover one of
those stern realities which every unhappy
property owner is destined to undergo. 1t is
definitely settled that however much a citizen
may meraliZe upon patriotism in the abstract,
and the duty he owes his country, whether in
the unsanguinary mode Of sustaining it with
his money or in his presence on the field of
battle, there is nothing that appears to him so
obnoxious as paying his taxes. He regards this
imposition as an unmitigated gouge and looks
upon the entire horde of collectors as his enc
mics; while usually from the moment the Re-
ceiver announces the time set for the payment
until il arrives, he is imbued with a moping
melancholy, grows peeyish, and wonders ''When
the taxes will be reduced"
But fOrawarned of the penalties imposed by
authority If he procrastinate, and attracted by
the knowledge that if he is prompt slight dis
count will be given him-a little concession to
mitigate the stripgency of the law-he takes the
earliest opportunity to end the ordeal. This
morning, then, We had the interesting picture,
and II still exists, of great throng of people
jammed together N the Receiver of Taxes Office
and without. The clerks labOrsd with fervent
zeal, and yet did the impatient crowd regard
them with vindictiy eness for q fancied lndo-
lence. The cash poured heavily into the iron
Golfers and yet they stood gaping for more. IN
that thick mass OF humanity was represented a
mental as we'll as moral kaleidoscope, which,
whenever jostled. discovered some new distem-
per or some cholce piece oil muttered profanity

"Ah, yes. just 500 50."
"Thacs nice, responds the lady in a tone so

ticaly) of course you wouldn't take anything.

Oficer-"There, madam, pass on, pass on.

muttering something about want of polite
ness, and ''but people can't do better nova
days" was pushed out with the crowd.
SO 1t continued all the morning; so 1t will
continue all day. Considerable good humor
amongst the choleric crowd was caused
by man who, having paid his BILL and Auding
other means of exit impossible, unless after
patient waiting leaped out of the window, and
alighted fright side up"

THE GRAND ENTRY,
LAST NIGH r's DISPATCHES.

THE GERMAN CoNQUERoRs IN PARIs-How THE
VICTORIOUS LEGIoNs ADVANCED - NO DIS
TURBANCEs OCCUR.
PARIS, March THE head of the column
of the 18th Corps, under General Won Bose,
is just entering Pont du Jour and Porte Mail
lat, moving towards Arc de TriomPhe. No
hostile movement of the populace has yet
been seen, and the prospect Of a collision is
diminishing.
At 10 o'clock A. NJ. the 18th Corps, num-
bering thirty thousand men, with ninety-six
pieces of field artillery and the usual proper
tion of cavalry, advanced in two columns,
one at Porte Neuilly, and the other at Pont
du Jour.
The former advanced at a pretty rapid pace
up the avenue of the Grande Armee, direct for
Arc de Triomphe, the French troops vacating
the streets as the Germans approached. The
other column entering at Pont de Jour, below
Auteuil commenced to march along the quay
on the north side of the Seine, direct for
Place de la Concorde, where the rendezvous
of the two columns is fixed.
The zone surrendered to the Germans was
almost entirely free of French. 1t commences
at the extreme southwest corner of the en-
ceinte, which forms point, and runs in the
shape of an irregular triangle, of which the
Seine forms the east side, the enceinte from
Pont du Jour to Porte des Ternes the west
side, and Faubourg Honore, Avenue des
I6rn6b, from hu6 hOyale TO inc 0nc6lRC6,
the north side, or base.
The only point within these limits retained
by the French are the baking establishment
of the Army of Paris, Quai de Belly, and
Pont de Jena.
As the troops proceeded along the line the
artillery took positions from Porte de Neullly
to the Place de la Concorde, and from Pont
du Jour to the same point, as precautionary
measure.
Notb;no oould avcaad tha snIandid annaar
ance of the troops, who turned out in as per-
feet order as if on parade-ground at home.
The chief thoroughfares were quiet and
few persons were about from to A. M.
The shop windows were shut, and the aspect
of the city was desolate.
The Nationales are posted as pickets in
every avenue, with lines of sentries across the
streets to prevent persons going beyond the
line of delnarcation. From 10 to ~ o'clock
the same aspect was presented, with more
people in the streets in small crowds, aud with
more Nationales on duty.
At Rue Royale Rivoli, and Place de Con-
corde are double lines of wagons cutting off
communication. Most of the women are out
in mourning and going to mass. On Champs
Elysees hardly person was seen. All the
houses were closed except three or four small
cafes.
No one was seen at the windows, and only
few Italian, American, and English flags
were flying, and one single French flag hung
over the hall of the Corps Legislatif.
At nine A. M. the head of the Prussian
advance was seen rounding Arc de Triomphe
to the surprise of the few who we're present
Both men and women were seen hurryinl
away in tears, and only boys and few work
men were left. The German hussars gal
