speaker CarltsIe.s Committees.

WASHINGTON, December 21st.-Mr. Car.
Isle has worked on his committees all day,
and they are nearly completed. The division
of the COMMITTEES on Education and Labor
and the creation of the Committees on Riy-
ers and Hsrbors and Shipping, has given the
Speaker an opportunity to satisfy demands
that, under other circumstances, he would
have been compelled to ignore. A deter
mined effort to force Hurd of Ohio off the
Committee of Ways and Means is being
msde, not only by members of the Ohio del
egation but by Eastern Democrats generally.
Hurd opposed the tariff plank in the plat.
form of the Ohio Democracy, and was cleo ed
on an out-and-Out free trade issue. The
Democratic party in five Of the States have
ind rsed the tariff views Of the Ohio Demo
Gratis, and it is not unnatural that representa-
tives from those States should dislike to see
Hurd take place on the Ways and Means
Committee. There is, however, no reason to
believe the Speaker will change his present
intention of making Hurd a member of the
committee. Keifer will be placed at the
head of the minority of the Appropriations
Committee, and the minority of the Ways
and Means will consist of Messrs Kelley,
Kssson, Mckinley, Russell and Hiscock.
The msjority of the committee will certainly
include Messrs. Morrison, Hewitt, Hurd and
Blount. Mr.. Blackburn is also talked OF for
a place on the committee, but if ha should
desire to have the Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee on Rivers and Hsrbors it would be
given him, in which event Willis or Thomp-
son, of Kentucky, would go upon the Ways
and Means. Judge BuckHer, of Missouri,
will not serve upon the committee. He pre-
fers the Craftsmanship of Banking and Cur
rency. Missouri, Texas and Alabama will
be represented on the Ways and Means.
Herbert, of the lsst-named State, will uu-
doubtedly be a member. Hatch, of Mis-.
souri,, is also likely to be chosen, while
there is a struggle between Mills and
Hancock, of Texas, for the honor
of representing that State on the committee.
If his Influence prevails, Mills will take the
place, but Hsnc, OK is thought to be the
Speakers pereonal preference. Perry Bel
mont may yet get the Craftsmanship of For
eign Affairs, although the talk here now is
that both Cox and Belmont will be dropped,
and Governor Curtin taken for the place.
Cox, it is averred, is well convinced by ar
guments from his friends il New York, that
he could serve the interests of his constitu-
euts better as Chairman OF the Committee on
Shipping than iu any other capacity. If
Curtin is made Chairman OF the Foreign
Affairs Committee, Belmont will be given the
second place on the Committee, and ex-Sens-
tor Eaton will probably get the Chairman
ship Of the Naval Affairs.

Different Breeds for the Dairy.

The Toronto Globe gives the following
As the conclusions from experiments at
the Ontario Model Farm, as deducted from
Professor Browns last report: An average
cow for dairy purposes should give 20
pounds of milk per day during 200 days
every year; s pounds of cream for every
100 pounds of milk: 45 pounds of butter
II ON every 100 pounds of cream. and full
ly 10 pounds of cheese for every 100
pounds of milk. Bulk. volume. or per
cent of cream is no safe criterion of the
quantity of butter in that cream; weight
alone is the proper mode of Judging.
Breed, as much if not more than food, al
fects the quantity and quality of milk,
cream, butter and cheese. In Ontario cX-
permental farm experience the Short-horn
is an average mixer. short in duration
per season, low in specific gravity, high
in per cent. of cream, proportion
ately high in butter. and also high in
cheese production. The grade of this
breed approaches the nearest OF any other
to what is called general purpose cow"
The Aberdeen Poll is low in quantity OF
milk. and the second highest of any in
specific gravity The grade of this breed
is much improved in milking properties,
giving a greater weight of cream, though
a lower per cent. of it. The Hereford is
not more prominent than the Short-horn
and Aberdeen Poll in regard to milk. ex-
cept in proportion of butter from cream,
in which it is highest. The grade is very
prominently in advance, particularly in
proportion OF cream, but one of the low
est in cheese. The Devon is most distinct
in highest specific gravity of milk and the
weight of cheese from milk. We have no
experience with the grade of this breed.
The Galloway milk appears to be of a
peculiar texture-rich, or very small in
butter globules as to rise very slowly and
very indistinct in the test tube
The Ayrshire is particularly heavy,
long mixer, giving five times her own
weight per season. The milk is some
what low in specific gravity and per cent
of cream, but is over the average in cheese
production. The Ayrshire grade is not
improved in any respect except in dura-
ton of milking season.
The Jersey is remarkable for proper
tion OF cream. averaging 35 per cent, and
giving value of dairy products incom-
parable to any other breed in our exper-
fence. The native or common cow of
Ontario, not Canada property, because
Quebec in particular stands distinct in her
class of dairy cows, take high place in
value of annual produce for ordinary dairy
purposes. and, along with the short-horn
grade, is peculiarly the dairy COW for the
country.

A Curious Fact,

We are not to speculate about the causes
of the fact-but a fact it is-that men distin-
gushed tor extraordinary intellectual power
of any sort, very rarely leave more than a
very brief line of progeny behind them. Men
of genius have scarcely ever done so. Men
Of imaginative genius we might almost say
never. With the one exception of the noble
Surrey, we cannot at this moment point out
representative in the male line, even so far
down as in the third generation, of any Eng
lish poet and we believe the case is the same
in France. The blood of beings of that order
can seldom be traced far down, even in the
female line. With the exception of Surrey
and Spencer, we are not aware of any great
English authur of at all remote date, from
whose body any living person claims to be
descended. There is no other real English
poet prior to the middle of the eighteenth
century, and we believe, no great author of
any sort-except Clarendon and Shaftesbury
of whose blood we have any inheritance
among us. Chaucer's only son died child
less; Shakspeare's line expired in his only
daughters only daughter. None of the other
dramatists of that age left any progeny-nor
Raleigh, nor Bat on--nor Cowley, nor Butler.
The Granddaughter of Milton was the last of
his blood. Dryden's three sons all died child
less. Newton, Locke, Pope. Swift, Arbuth-
not, Hume, GibboD, Cowper, Cray, Walpole,
Cavendish-and we might greatly extend the
list never married. Neither Bolingbroke,
nor Addison, nor Warburton, nor johnson,
nor Burke, transmitted their blood Mon
sieur Renouard's last argument against per-
petuity in literary property is that it would
be founding another nobtcsse. Neither jealous
Aristocracy nor envious Jacobinsm need be
under much alarm. When human race has
produced its bright consummate flower in
this kind it seems commonly to be near its
end
