A Quart Of MIX.

We frequently see the statement that a
quart of the milk of certain COW weighed
so much. The information thus eomlnuni-
Gated is very indefinite, aud indefinite infor-
nation Of this character is no information at
ALL The men who manufacture the quart
measures of tin in common use have, or at
least conform TO- no regular standard. We
have before us two milk quarts, the re-
spective measurements of which are No. |,
height, six and three-eighths inches diam
eter, three and thirteen-sixteenths inches.
No. ., height, five and three-fourths inches
diameter, three aud eleven-sixteenthsi inches.
While the quart measure OF gentlemen
whom we recently visited, and who informed
us that quart of his Jersey milk weighed two
pounds and nine ounces, measured five and
iifteen-sixteenth inches in height, aud three
and seven-eighths inches in diameter. ltis
very evident that the weight of "quart " Of
milk from the same cow, measured In each
of these "quart measures, would vary
materially. Yet they were all sold as regu'
lar milk quarts.

A PLEASANT little anecdote is told of a
six.years-old son of one OF our most successful
concert managers. lie had been invited TO
several children parties, and thought he
must give party also. So he asked a
friend of the family II he could have the
seats taken out of the music hall and have
the party there. The gentleman humorously
sent word to him that he would take the
matter into consideration, and let him know.
This reply the boy considered very favorable,
and so thought it time to make other ar
rangements. lie soon button-holed his
father, and said, " feel sure of music hall,
and now want Won Bulow TO play the piano. "

Following closely upon already alarm
ing disclosures of corruptious. high
crimes and misdemeanors Of officials in
high position, comes the startling &C
cusation and admission of guilt of
General Grants pet cabinet o6icer. 1t
seems Grant has debanchcd every thing
he has touched; The Law by taking
as its cabinet officer Williams who has
trampEed under foot State legislatures
and packed even the Supreme Coult to
reverse its own decisions; the Dipio-

Shepherd at the White House and
attending his balls and receptions. The
confession and conviction Of Macdonald
Joyce, Mckee and other lie sser victims,
together with the arraignment Of his
private secretary, Babcock, were the
results OF system Of organized fraud
carried Oh under lis eyes and nose, and
while his household pet, Baocock was
acquitted, yet upon high Republican
authority he was declared "morally"
guilty though technically innocent.
Upon the heel OF this little unpleasant
affair comes an impeachment for grave

honesty to administer tie affairs of the
government and that the conservative

should be given the management Of
national affairs.
At the close of the war he received

the Presidents second term, he wasre-
