CHEESE VS. MEAT. 1t is It little Slngu-
lar that, in these hard times, when every
one IS trying to economic. that more
cheese is not eaten So mach has been
said and written by chemists about the
relative value OF cheese and meat that
We all must have seen some comparisons
of their values as food, with the balance
always ON the side OF cheese when each
is rcckoncd at its usual market quotation.
Another argument in favor of cheese IS
that it requires no cooking or other prepa-
ration but is always ready for lood. Bread
is termed the staff Of life. Most property,
it seems to me- we might add to it chrcsc

what chemistry declares, if some one in

diet composed largely OF cheese, in some
of our charitable institutions. reform

This is the way that Il popular Portland
hotel is to supply itself with milk fruit
and vegetables, according to the Press -
Messrs Gibson q Waterhouse, the pro
prietors of the Preble House, have recent
ly purchased Il farm in Scarboro, and if
the results 50 far are any indications Of
what the future will be, their farming will
be on Il different scale from that of the
gentlemen quoted above. They have pur-
chased the well known Tucker farm at
Oak Hill and are already reaping benefits
from it. They have stocked the place
with twelve of the best COWS to be found
in the state, which furnish all the milk
used at the hotel. The milk is brought
into the city every morning by one of the
farm hands, and is fresh and nice, with
no indications of being ''lengthened," as
is too often done by milk dealers. They
also propose to do quite a business in
raising swine. They have already about
sixty hogs and pigs which are kept Who'll
ly by the sWill from the hotel, which is
another great advantage. The hcnnery
is well filled, but as yet the biddies do
not nearly supply the hotel table with
eggs although Mr.. Gibson has great cX
pectations of what they will do after the
heated term is over.
Mr.. Gibson gives the farm his leisure,
and while he does not expect to make Il
fortune, he does expect to furnish his
house with better vegetables, milk, eggs,
etc, than can be had at the markets.

THE SENATORIAL ELECTIONS. - The
election Of Mr.. Hill as United States
Senator by the Georgia Legislature was in
part due TO republican votes. 1t may be
true that Mr.. Hull has not very judicial
temperament, and that he is liable 10 rath-
er Sudden changes of opinions. But it is
rather undoubtedly true that he at this
time represents the more conservative
part of the democratic party in his
state, and that his election now is II
triumph over the faction which sought to
defeat him because he would not Join in
the war-crv of the Wattersons and the
Coolies. The next six years will give
him many opportunities to strengthen the
good feeling between the North and the
South, and we trust that he will remain
where he certainly is now, on the sides Of
advocates of peace and reconciliation.
Senator Davis, who has been re. elected
for the long term from West Virginia, is
bank president. He gained some promi
nonce last winter by his efforts to Obtain
Information about the methods of keeping
accounts in the United States Treasury

made at his suggestion showed an absence
