A happy New Year! and may yon hnve as many of them as there are hairs on your Journalistic caput, is the wish of " Yours, Truly, whose ears at the present writing, are !iL .1 :i *: 1? ringing wuu wie Buvaijr nugic-uinj;io u? m< merry bells as the handsome sleighing turnouts dash past on Pennsylvania avenue^ from the Capitol to the White House. There is a CORNER IN POLITICAE NEWS here, and it will continue until our Solons come back from their holiday trips and get to work aeain. From the short time?seven weeks?which they will fiave from the re-assembling until the end of the session, the question of an extra session is being mooted. WORRIED. Since it has been determined that the New York Tribune is not to be run in the interest of the administration, the Court Journals here seem to have the fidgets over 1 the matter, and every day or so, an article appears in which the moral sense of the Tribune subscribers is appealed to otoet pathetically. First the rumor that Boas Tweed ! was the mooiod -power that bought Orton out, gre*tly shocked them, aid now the report that Jay Gould furnished the ducal a. ; more than upsets the moral eqttipoM of the Grant Barriers. The Tribute keeps on in I the even tenor of itl %*jr, nor denies nor 1 admits anything. So the Jittrling curs hats their yelping* for their paint, at there ading public will not be deterred from enjoying their Tabm* by the twaddle of the insignificant Washington bogles. THfc LTMX DRAWN. Although the Grant organs in this city bare no position in the newi^wporitl world, nor does their feeble balderdash command attention?yet they are almost unerring guides as to what the desire of the administration, or rather General Grant, are.? That there was to be a change in the policy )f the administration with regard to Cuba, arts very evident from the tone of the President's message. The spiritualists here, :laim that the change was brought about by i written communication being sent by Gen. Rawlins, a well knowtt medium, urging thatj lid be extended to the suffering Cubans.: [t has generally been conceded that hnd Rawlins' lived, his policy of aiding the Cu)ans would have been adopted, as he had rreat influence with the President, who aferwards followed the Fish policy. The Fay out of the trouble as to whom we shall ecogniie as the belligerents has been found 1 iv Gen. Grant. It is that Spaiu, by the e tuilding of a wall across the Island, admits a hat her authority extends only that far and t 10 farther; so. all wc have to do, is to recog-. r lizo the dominion of the Cuban insurgents s ip to the wall now building, and by this j troke of policy wc get our fingers in the t ?uban pic; but whether we will pluck out c nyof the plums, remains to be seen. v LOUISIANA MATTERS. t The exceeding bad taste displayed by t Secretary Delano in Accepting the excurions, fetes, &c., that were gotten up in his I lonor by Senator Kellogg and Collector Ca- * cy, at New Orleans a few days since, while a >11 route to Havana, has been severely criti- I deed here, ft looks like a defendant in a 1 ;ase having the judge and jury dine with s liui during the pendency of the trial. The * ast conundrum asked here is, How could 1 Fudge Durell. of New Orleans, after taking ? he oath of allegiance to the Southern Con- * edcracy, conscientiously take the iron clad t >ath of 18C2, when he was appointed Uni- 1 ed States Judge by President Lincoln in 1 1863? It is more than probable that he c ;oi um >111 lujuiiciiuii ?<> rrnirmu hid wn- cience from acting at that time, and to vdge from his rec?nt behavior, he forgot to I tave the injunction removed. The counter ' tatcmeot being prepared by the Radicals a rere, aa an answer to tho calm, plain state- I nent of facts made by the Louisiana dele- 1 Ration m to the condition of affairs in thut Itate, will soon be ready. The greatest in- 1 oatice is being dona the delegation from ( Tew Orleans, by coupling the name of War- 8 nonth with the grievances of which they 1 omplaio. They care no more for War- 1 nonth than they do for Pinchbeck; they t nerely desire an hon?st investigation into he condition of things in their State?but 1 lotwihstanding their address has created eon- > liderahle feeling against the President for ' lie course in that matter, nothing will cotlie >nt of it; like every outrage against the people. >r Federal usurpation of power, it will be a line days gossip and genera) acqoiesceuoe in i ^ /\ .] . !..i k .. ! i I iu?r ui?v jjcnuu ah a pwpic, wo ate itrd to surprise, rarely ever startled and as ? o stirring us up ngainst tljepowerflthat.be, < 10 matter what the cauae, it in au utter im- s josaibility. I verily l>eliere that if Con- i ^refl? passed a law that every man, woman J tnd child in the country flhonld, after a cer- } ain date, wear rings in their noeea, it would ifter a conaiderable amount of vaporing. 1* t informed to, and a prayer of thanks offer- i jd up because Congress did not levy a ape- t ial tax on the holes that were bored for the t msal ornaments to hook in. 1 n t ?fn i n?i/tVfii nuviiiB i/itnw.i ( n/i.'irAuwitfl oiirrAAwmi^. The female suffragists in Wyoming Ter- j itory are very much exercised at the pro- I posed annexing of the most thickly settled 1 wrtiou of that teritory to Caloradojn order 1 o bring the latter up to the requisite popu- i ation for admission into the Union. If inlignant and foreiblo protests will avail, the \ Vyouiingesc will not he locked info the t 'oloradians, and their fair ones be deprived t >f the ballut, which they value so highly. < INCREASED PAY FOR LETTER-CARRIERS. < A bill will be presented to Congress in- i rcasing the pay of letter carriers, mid it is 1 loped that it will receive prompt and favor- * ,1,1c consideration, as these hard worked and 1 < faithful public servants who are brought itn- ' mediately In eontaet with the people, high (1 ?id low. rich and poor, arc not sufficiently I paid for their services. On entering the ser- i vice they receive $8, and the limit is $10. The proposition to give them $12, the pay of a first-classclerk, will gqucralty meet with j the approval of the public, even if some skin flint Congressman, like Dawes, who imagines he carries all the brains of his State on his shoulders, should oppose it. TOO PAST. The President was a little too fast when he appointod Saui Bard as Postmaster at Chattanooga, and now holds bis commission until the Senate takes action on a motion to re-consider his confirmation. " WILL STICK. The visit of the President to his father at Covington, Ky., was partly filial and partly business. He wants the old gentleman to resign on account of age, &c., but the father is very much like the son. and he won't give op. COMPULSORY VOTINO. The Radicals have the impression that the stay at homes on election days are of their kind, and are seriously contemplating the introduction of a bill in Congress making the neglect to rote punishable by fine or imprisonment. What next? 8trono law firm. The many friends of Hon. James M, faranaugh, of Montana, S. K. Hennisran son of the former distinguished Senator from Indiana; and Geo. Gray, Esq., of Milwaukie, will be pleased to learn that they hare formed a co-partnership here for the practice of law and the prosecution of claims in ths departments. Mr. Cavanangh's reputation is national; his friends are ererywhere, and with hia ability and energy in connection with his able associate# there can be no doubt of brilliant success. Self Deception.?The reader# of hist, ry tnd biography are often startled at the singular ignorance of themselves, displayed by imineat men, literary or political leaders of their nation and age. Dr. Holmes says in >ne of hia witty papers, that every man has three character#?-first, as he looks at him* iclf; second, u he looks on others; third, is he is in reality- Only the omniscient eye <? detect the latter in its true proportions; >nt between the first and second, there is ofen a world-wide difference. Some of the ronlrasts between estimates of self, recorded n diaries and correspondence, and the judg-; nents passed by society, iney interest us well as amuse. Phillip, the Second, of Spain, lives in hisory, as one of the most remorseless of ty ants. His butcheries, in eold blood, of housands of tioble incn and women, for no rime, but for a difference of religious opinons; his many wars, with reckless waste of ifc and treasure; and his deliberate treaohry in negotiations and treaties, give him i foremost place among the monsters whom he world detests. Mr. Motley gi*es a terible verdict, which receives a generi) asent: " If Phillip possessed u single virtue, t has eluded the eonuc iantiuuu miiinnli i4he writer of these pages. If there are vies?as possibly there are?from which he vas exempt, it is because it is not permitted o human nature to attain perfection even n evil." It would seem impossible that one who troke his word and oath without scruple, and rhosc reign impoverished his own kingdom md deluged Kurope with blood, could im>ose on his conscience a good opinion of limself. But no saint or martyr ever had uch a lofty view of his purity of life and inglencss of aim as this abhorred tyrant. !Ie said of himself on his death-bed, "In ill my life, I have never consciously done rrong to any one. If ever I have commitcd an act of injustice, it whs done unwitingly, because deceived by circumstances " le told his soil to observe closely his father's ondilion, that when he was laid low, he night have a conscience void offence. Robespierre, the tyrant of the French {evolution, revelled in bloodshed. The rork of the guillotine gave him daily joy, ind with an unsparing hand he sent to the dock, genius, rank, wealth and beauty, if hay stood in the way of his ambitious chemes. One finds much to admire in the iims of the Girondists, and can look with ; haritv on some of the crimes of the impul- J ive Marat, or the large-hearted Dautoo ; | )0t the narrow-minded, cold, selfish Robepicrre awakens universal abhorrenoe. But bis monster of crime, said coolly of himelf; " Posterity will sustain the award of ny own conscience, that I hare been unselfsn in my desires, patriotic in my aims, and >enevolent even in my severities." The Chrittia* Km. Hiohi.t Flavored Snobbery.?Feshonable society, if we are to credit that very Jenkinay" paper, the Home Jovruat, has idopted a great improvement.

(Not a conmdrurn.) The Champion Df.ao Beat.?Sergeant Bates, the champion dead beat Of North America?the individual who won a considerable some of money on a wager that he could carry the Union flag all through the South unmolested, has just taken in another bet? of a thousand dollars, by marching Wii* through Scotland and England, from Glasgow to Guildhall, in Lodon, bcaringaloll the same banner he carried through the Southern States. Th? flattering reception which this notorious dismounted dragoon met with from the JUuchncys ia_tjius related in the London Trfrtjrtij> A/and mu?t havo ratisnl the heart of Bates to glow with patriotic fire. "But the circumstance of every window being full of faces, one might have said that all the population had turned into the streets. From roof, tree and parapet, from casement and balcony, jutted fbrth frequent counterparts of that banner which had been brought across tho Atlantic by the redoubtable sergeant; and at intervals were seen the royal standard of England and the Union Jack. The oi>en barouche at the door of the hotel was converted into a close carriage, as the rain seeuied less and less inclined'to relent. Mounted outside the vehicle were the American and British colors, one flag on either side. A postillion rode one of the two grays, and the horses' heads were decked with the stars and stripes. Having waited till twenty-five minutes past the hour of eleven, to givo the rain a chance of holding up, Sergeant Bites and his companions emerged from the hotel, protected by a party of police, and entered the carriage. The real, veritable banner which tho Sergeant had borne from Gretna to London was carried in his hand; that affixed to tho exterior of the barouche being merely a duplicate ensign. The carriage at first got awav at a paco sufficient to afford the principal occupant a litj tie reapite from manual exercise; but its progress waa impeded as the crowd grew denser, and proposals were again and again urged by the gathering throng that the horses should he taken out and the carriage drawn by muscular admirers and friends. This offer was repeatedly negatived,but near the Piccadilly end of Bond street, .by which thoroughfare the carriage had turned southward from Oxford street, the multitude hid their will. Theuee down St. James street j and along Pall Mall, whers the Sergeant | saluted each of the military dubs in passing. | the carriige was pulled along rapidly by the j crowd?so rapidly, indeed, that Guildhall I was reached half an hour before the appoint; ed time of two o'clock. Here the assemblage ! was cn-eat and demonstrative. A ceremonf r ^ ? -- B was gone through of dipping the British and and Fnited States flags toward one another, so as to make them 'kins' and the Sergeant planted the Stars and Stripes in the middle of Guildhall yard." Beau IItckman.?A Washington paper gives thes? reminiscences of Beau Hickman : Upon one occasion he arrived at the springs only to find another Beau installed before him. Cogitating on the distressing fact, he chunccd to meet his riv.il, who called his servant and commanded . "Bill, lay out my number eight vest, my number eleven co:it, and my number sixteen pants." Whereu|>on Beau called his servant and said : Sam. lay out my number onc'hundrcd and fourteen vest, my number ninety six coat, ami my number a hundred and eighty pants, for me to drive in." His rival, overwlielnieil hy thoHe high figures, left the next day 1 Heing penniless on one oecasion about dinner time, he walked into "fJadshyV (now the Washingtonput his cap in his pocket entered the dining room, ate his dinner, ufter an exaggerated American fashion, (doe (Jnrgery would have said he '-bolted it."] went to the hat rack and selected one of the best, walked to the depot, and took the train which wits stalling for Haltiutore. When the ! conductor came around he found Beau lean ing out of tbo window intontly^studying the r landscape. i - He gave him a push to acquaint him with t his presence, but the landscape held him en) tranced. He gave him another, harder than ) the first; "when Beau came in so suddenly ? as to knock bis new hat off. He then got into an angry dispute with the conductor, saying, "it s a new nat, just Dougnt, ana naa ; the ticket in the band," and demanded the , money for the hat, which the conductor r finally paid him, and thus Beau obtained his dinner, a ride to Baltimore and money enough i for a new hat by that fast growing acquirement called "cheek." i A somewhat ludicrous scene occurred in one of the large dry goods stores in Troy the other evening. Three ladies entered the store for the purpose of examining some ready-made suita. In the department devoted td this class of goods several "dummies" are used, upon which different styles of goods are displayed. One of the ladies walked up to one of the "dummies" and commenced to feel the dress which covered it. Supposing it was placed there as a sample, she handled it pretty thoroughly, and then called the attention of her companions to it. One of the others also felt of the stuff, and remarked: "Why, that's a homely stripe." The third lad? followed by saying: "It won't pay for makinw on." Whereunon the "dnmmv" turned her head and sailed, to the utter as* tonishment and mortification of the ladies in question, who discovered that instead of a 'dummy" sample, they had been criticising the drees of a real, lire woman. Explanations and apologies followed in profusion. Since Lucca's departure from Berlin several spicy anecdotes of the lively prima donna have been going the rounds of the prase. During a rehersa) of 'L'Afrieaine" the celebrated German tenor, Waehtd, once a postboy, oallsd the charming canatrice "a little Jewess," a complement she returned by telliughim that he was a '-'low cabman." At litis Waohtel became dreadfully. excited and annoyed, and so far forgot himself an to lay hands on his fair antagonist, who, howevor, left a glowing impression of her hand upon his face. She refused to sing with him in the evening, as ho had to kiss her in the opera, and she was afraid that he would bite her nose off. Matters were smoothed over, however, and instead of biting her gave her an ardent and repentant hug that she will never forget. Geoorapaical Puzzle.?For breakfast take a cape of Mssachusetts and let it souk all night; then shns^up fine and cook in a river in Montand. This and some harbors of New Jersey will bj the principal warm dishes. Some may like with these a rive* r>f Vermont, very thin and well seasdhed. It will be necessary to go to a mountain in Washington Territory for an indispensable article of food, and five-eights of a little town in Wisconsin, well stewed, without scorching, will be sufficient in the way of fruit. Such a breakfast may be very cheerful, if every one politely gets upon a cape of North Carolina to see that each is well helped and cared for. Farming as a Business.?The following is from the Farmer apd Artium : "A man who is uot smart enongh to run a store, is not smart enough to run a farm. Farmers are not to be made of what is left after lawyers, doctors, ministers, and merchants are picked out; and if a man fails on a farm it is not likely he will succeed in a store, for it requires more talent to be a thriving, farmer thau to be an average merchant. The one cause of great value is the disproportion between a man's farm and his capital. A farmar's capi tul is skill, labor, and his money. If he bos I little cash, bo must have no more land than he can thoroughly manage by his own personal labor. Every acre beyond this is an enounibrance; one acre well worked, is more frofitable than twenty acres skimmed over, t is this greed of land by farmers that have not the capital to keep it, that keeps so many poor, Ismail farms are bettter than large ones, simply because they are better suited to lb* capital of common farmers. Large farmers with large capital, are better than sins 11 ones. Farming is a good business for aU men who conduct it on proper principles, arid have capital according to the aise of their farms, and a bad one for everybody else." Keep the Cattle Growing.?The most success/hi b eeders of horses, cattle, shsep or swine, know from experience, that although tltey may possesss the best breeding animals, tbey will not be successful in producing superiorlitock if a continual growth of young animals is not kept up. In order to begin in time at this indispensable preparation lor success, the brood mares, cows, ewes and sows arc most carefully and suitably fed while with young, and as soon as the young 1 M|an amuini.s make lueir appearance, nicy taken the greatest caro of, the dams being suitably fed while suckling, and when the young ones are weaned, they arc not supposed to want fur l'ood or drink a sipglc hour. Ry this moans a continuous or vapid growth is kept up, and the animals attains a large sir.e and heavy weight at an curly age. When breeding animals are not properly fed and eorutortably sheltered in winter, the bad ' effect of such treatment is not confined to their own want of condition4^- it is sharod bv their progeny, and can never be remediated. When young stock nro not fed well and ciunfortnbly sheltered in wiubtr. their growth 1 becomes stunted, and no subsequent amount of good treatment can repair the damage. Young animate may suffer lor proper prevender in summer and autumn, as well as in winter, and wh<en this happens it i stops continuous growth and prevents ulti? mate succcsc in the object* c! the breeders. # Working Former. t The number of parish priests in Russia is I about 30,000, of (Io.ucodh 13,411, and ui inferior dories 63,433, ADVERTISING RATES.

THE FACULTIES OF DOGS. From the London] Quarterly Review. A little reflection shows that a dog approaches a man much more nearly in the matter of feeling than either of physical or mental characteristics. It is a startling fact, well brought out by Jesse in a synopsis of the dog's attributes, that there are rery few human passions which a dog does not share. The dog feels anger precisely as we do, and after provocation is sometimes vindic- . tive and sometimes placable, according to liia individual character. He is susceptible of hatred of the bitterest bind. He is so excruciatingly jealout, that his life becomes a burden in the presence of a favored rival. His envy continually leads him to eat what he does not want lest another animal should . take it, and to illustrate the table of " The Dog in the Manger." Gluttony holds out to him temptations under which even his honesty sometimes succumbs; but on jhe other hand, from drwdctnneM he is nobly emancipated. A dog mentioned by the Kev. Thomas Jackson, having once been made so drunk with malt liquor that he was unable to walk up stairs, ever after declined to taste the pernicious beverage, and growled and snarled at the sight of a pewter pot. Again, as to love, Don Juan was a cold and unenter* prising oharacter, oompared to a dog; and as to maternal affection, the mother-dog feels it with heroic passion, start ng to death rather than forsake her offspring. Gratitude may be almost said to be a dog's leading principle, anrififlp ?r u:. pwrfV b 4Mv "4 w uw master, and over after frwonciling him with, true magnanimity to take evil from the hand from whioh he has accepted good.

Fear ia a passion which dogs exhibit with singular variation, some breeds and individuals being very timorous, and others perfect models of conmge; the latter characteristic fortitude seeming to be more characteristically canine. A greyhound has been known, after breaking his thigh, to run ou until his course was concluded ; and in the excellent volume, " On the. Dog," by Idstone/is a frightful story of a f'ox-hoand, whom its ferocious master flogged so savagely for "babbling," as to cut out its eye with the whip.. The animal continued to hunt with Ihe pack till the end of + the chase, whereupon the human brute, a certain Colonel Thornton, took out bis scissors and severed the skin, by which the dog's eye hung daring the entire run.

Sense of property bifurcating into both coretomnegs and avarice, is common to all dogs. The kennel, rug, collar or water-basin once devoted to his use. no dog can see transferred to another without indignation. -Frequently he "covets his neighbor's house," and attempts to ensconse himself in it surreptitiously; and almost universally he covets his. neighbor's bone, and purloins it if be dare. Even from avarice he cannot be wholly exonerated, observing his propensity to bury his treasures. Shame, after transgressing any of tlfli arbitrary rules imposed on him, a dog displays with ludicrous simplicity; but of the deeper sense of violated modesty which in human beingB accompanies the commission of sin, he evidsntly, knows nothing.
