WASHINGTON, March 7.-General Rose
Grams, it is said, had thousands of copies
of his recent speech in opposition to the
Grand Retirement bill published and
distributed, but his action in the matter
seems to have had an opposite effect to
what he had anticipated. In place of
making enemies it strengthened the
friendship of Grants followers, and made
admirers of many of his old enemies.
Puck's cartoon representing jackass
(Rosecrans) kicking wounded lion
Grant was freely circulated among
members on the floor as a counter.irrl-
tant for the Rosecrans speech. These
incidents, coupled with the precarious
condition of the old warriors health, and
he general Democratic enthusiasm which
existed around the Capitol on Inaugural
ton day, caused the bill to go through
with rush, and the scenes in the Sen.
ate Chamber following the passage of the
Grant bill will never be forgotten by the
Senators and people who filed the gal
leries.

USEFUL INFORMATION,

A standard gallon of milk weighs Sc
pounds, or 2. Is per quart. BY this rule
ten quarts of pure milk, at temperature
of 60 degrees, will weigh 2ll pounds,
which are easy figures to remember. As
a great many owners of cows are in the
habit of estimating two pounds of milk
to each quart, it often misleads, as the
difference is quite considerable when large
quantities are weighed.
Unthinking farmers will sometimes

the work that horses which have beer
