The Dismissal Of Gea. Mcclellan.

On the 9TH of November, says the Coun
de Paris in his new volume, at evening" in
storm of snow early for that climate, Nc.
Clellan found himself under his tent with
Gen. Burnside, when messenger was an.
nounced from the President. 1t was Gen
buckingham, an officer unknown to the
army of the Potomac, who brought an
order couched in three lines and signed by
Halleck. This order dismissed Mcclellan
from the command Of the army and de-
signated Burnside as his successor. Such a
piece of news fell with the suddenness of
a thunderbolt on these two officers, whom
an OLD and close friendship united but
the latter alone shown any emotion at the
order which imposed on him response
bility to which he had never aspired.
After Mcclellan had read the dispatch,
without any visible feeling, he passed it to
Burnside, simply saying: "You command
the army" Burnside resisted for some
time. All his friends and his former chief
pressed him to accept they overcame his
acruples, which the future was unkapfii1y
destined to justify. On the morning of
tie Sth the army Of the Potomac learned
with establishment and grief that it had
lost the chisG who had for med it, who had
first led it to battle, and who had shown
it the ste:p|es Of pichmond, who Oh the
morrow of a great disaster had restored
it to confidence in itself. and who had at
length had just conducted it to victory.

We only state that the authorities at

Editors Work.

The Cincinnati gazette has IA sensible
and timely article on the editorial sane
tum and its visitors, from which we
make the following extract:
Not all who visit editorial rooms are
intruders or bores, but great many are,
and these are so numerous that all visi-
tors are looked upon with some degree
OF suspicion until their business becomes
known. 1t is never pleasant to be in
terrupted in editorial work. 1t has a
tendency to make men cross. There is
pressure upon editors. They work
nearly all the time under pressure.
Often their ideas do not flow freely, and
when they are not pleasing themselves
they are not in a mood to spend much
time upon those who interrupt them.
We suppose it is safe to say that three
fourths of those that call to see the
editor" have no business properly with
that individual. Often they do not
know him personally, and in order to
find him they interrupt halfa dozen men,
who have important work to do, and only
a limited time to do it in. Then, if they
receive short answers, they feelaggrieved,
and talk about impolite treatment. The
editorial rooms of n newspaper establish
ment are private, and are only to be
visited, except as Il matter of favor, by
those who have business with the editor
The best way, if people have something
to say to the editor, is to write that
something down and send it to him.
This would save time on both sides, and
answer a better purpose, nine times out
of ten, than personal interviews.

upon an old man who had nice lot of
his favorite vegetable, and began to ask
about the price. Beside the old man
were standing couple of loafers. One
OF these fellows named sum, which was
OF course exoroitant; but after proper
amount of haygling fair price per hun

concluded.
The purchaser pulled out his money
and was about to hand it to the old
countryman, when the second lounger
stepped forward and took it. This do

The Sale of Cheese.

The president of the Pennsylvania
Dairy Association, at late meeting,
gave an interesting and suggestive adj
dress on Cooperation in the Sale of
Cheese" He commenced by alluding
to the early history of cheese-making i'll
this section. The first attempt at fac.
tory cheese-making was made in 1S49, at
Mosiertown, by Clark & Stebbins, who
made an English dairy cheese weighing
about sixteen pounds, selling it at three
cents per pound. The patrons delivered
curd instead of milk. The second fac
tory was built also in Mosiertown
in 1851, aud continued in operation three
years, and then the system came to an
end. The first factory under the present
associated system was built by George
Thomas in 1867, at Cambridge. The
second factory was built by Messrs. ID.
H. Gibson & Co., in 1868, manufacturing
the first year 27,000 pounds of cheese,
and two years later 145, 600 pounds. In
1870 there existed in the State of Penn
sylvania twenty-seven factories. 1t is es-
timated that there was produced during
the past season IN the counties of Craw-
ford, Erie, and Mercer, about 5000, 900
pounds of cheese, valued at 81, 100000.

A Singular Discovery.

Mr.. Brrmer, a perfectly reliable gentle
man, whose home isat Angeles, California,
is authority for the following. While he
and his hired man was herding his stock
about six miles from the " South Grove"
in this county, they noticed small hole
about foot in diameter and smoothed
off, as if done with mason's trowel.
Their curiosity being aroused, they ex-
amined it and dropped Il rock into it,
which seemed to falla few feet and lodge
the next effort was more successful, and
the rock after falling considerable dis
tance seemed to strike, and caused, deaf
ening, crashing noise perfectly indescrib,
able. 1t seemed to them that in COM
parison thunder would be a lullaby and
the roar of artillery murmur. The
men lost no time in getting away from
the place, but in short time, the noise
having partially subsided, they returned
to it; they We're, however, perfectly
satisfied without trying any more expert
ments. Mr.. Bruner ventures no theory
about this, but only states the facts.
Now, will some of our learned gentlemen
explain this natural curiosity

" Discharging f" a Servant.

The London Figaro says: "Speak-
ing without reference to particular appli-
cation it is great privilege for n man to
be permitted to serve a lady. Practi-
cally, however, much depends on who
the lady is, and in what capacity the SER
vice is rendered; it is no great privilege
to serve Mrs. Keating as butler. This
lady, the wife of retired colonel living
near Aldershot, discharged her domestic
some months ago, and on his refusal to
leave without orders from 'the master ;
she attempted to, and really did, enforce
her mandate with a loaded revolver.
For this freak of the amiable creature
the colonel has to pay fifty pounds
damages by law awarded. 1t is curious
and instructive-to observe that the
colonel had told his man to take no no
tice of the lady's commands"

In Behalf of the Birds,

George Il. Fish, of Rochester, chair
man of the committee on ornithology,
presented to the Western New York
Horticultural Society well-considered
statement touching the usefulness of our
feathered friends. A French naturalist
ascertained by careful investigation that
a single insect might in five generations
become the progenitor of five thousand
millions of descendants. With these
appalling figures before us we are
forced to the conclusion that We're the
birds destroyed desolation would result,
compared with which the grasshopper
plague of the West would sink into in
significance. The vocal melody of birds
would give place to the constant buzzing,
scraping, kissing sound of insects, not
long, however, to be endured, for
the destruction of vegetation must ine-
vitably be followed by the destruction
of animal life. 1t is evident God de-
signed that the birds should hold the
insects in check. Can we afford to dis
pense with even part of their assist
ance because it costs us something in
fruit! We are willing to pay money for
fertilizers and for labor We even pay
men for destroying insects, and regard
it as profitable investment. 1t is I'M
reasonable to demand that the entire
work of the bird shall be gratuitous.
While the committee would advise the
protection of birds as a class, they think
experience has shown that the pugna-
cious character of the English sparrow
renders him an undesirable settler.
Our domestic birds, more peaceably dis
posed, incline to leave him the whole
field, and his introduction to this coun-
try is probably no improvement on ma
ture's plan. 1t would seem to be better
to encourage by every means an income
of our native tribes.

OF Dogs,

You may sing of your dog, your bottom dog,
Or of any dog that you please
l 80 for the dog, the wise old dog,
That knowingly takes his ease,
And. wagging his tail outside the ring,
Keeping always his bone in sight,
Cares not pin, in his wise old head.
For either dog in the fight.
Not his is the bone they are fighting for,
And why should any dog sail in,
With nothing to gain, but a certain chance
To lose his own precious skin?
There may be a few, perhaps, who fail
To see it in quite this light;
But when the fur flies, had rather be
The outside dog in the fight.
l know there are dogs, most generous dogs.
Who think it quite the thing
To take the part of the bottom dog.
And go yelpng into the ring.
l care not a pin what the world may say
In regard to the wrong or right;
Ny money goes as well as my song,
For the dog that keeps out of the fight.
