A Famous Jersey Fabu ???Prospect Hill farm, al Franklin, New York, is noted for its costly bulls, at the bead of which is Michael Angelo, the son of Eurotas by her full brother, Black Prince of Hanover. Hervico from this bull is $500. Ho cost $12,500 when he was only six weeks old. The next bull is Bloke Fouls the fifth, who is tho full and only brother to Stoke I???ozis the third, which aired the most wonderful cow on the globe, Marv Ann of SL Lambert's, which made 720 pounds of batter in 248 eon seculivo cays, Eurotas, the mother of Mi chael Angelo, is valued at $40,000, and is now about ten years old. The next family to this in consideration is the St. Heliar, and its representative in this stable is King SL Hollar, who traces to old SL Heliar, tbe parent <>f the stock, forty-live different times, Another ball la this stable, well known throughout tho country, is Yel low lloy, by tho Duke of Darlington. The stablo is full of cows which have been sent to these bulls, and tbey pay from $100 to $500 apiece, besides $1 a week for their keep. There Is continual exportation of young calves ftom this stable at prices that surprise a nov ice,and the express companies ate doing a large business in cattle alone. It is no uncom mon thing for a cow to bo sent one thousand miles in order to complete her connection with some family strain. Those Jerseys are noted for their incestuous strength. Where there is any thing good In a family It im proves by multiplying within the family. I was interested In two things In this stable. In tbe first plsco, the cream separator, which is run by a steam engine, and revolves with enormous rapidity, and tho cream flows out of one spigot and tbe skimmed milk out of another. Then I observed the apparatus for cleaning cows, which are carefully washed and brushed once or twice a day by means of brushes operated by the engine. Tbe cow, calf or ball Is brought forward and tied to a wat, and from above these brushes are irought to her body, any carefully raise every hair. The cattlo liko it, but their tails have to bo tied up in a bag, (or not long ago one of the brushes lore out a tal I.

The young Jersey calf at one day old will kick tiu his heels and behave aa if It had a fall understanding of tbls world, Bo valuable aro these cows that when they aro very old tbey are made mothers to tbe last, and you can see a few old cows whose ahouldert seem to stand right out from tbelr bodies like bones, "'AU???rospetfllaTil farm tho barn Is eighty- eight feet in diameter. From tho cupola of the barn, which gives tbe ventilation, de scends a pole, around which is a winding stair connecting the two floors. In the cen ter of each floor is a large open space, and the circle of cattle faces this in stalls, tbelr heads all appearing above the stalls, and tho troughs at their knees. Behind this row of cattlo is an open corridor, also circular, around which toe second greater circle of cat tle stand at their stalls. , , There are thirty-two cattlo on the Inner rows and forty-six on the rear rows. The en gine has flfteen-liorse power. Tbe food given tne animals Is boiled and mixed, partly oats and partly ensilage, or leaves of corn plucked when tho car is fall of milk. The cattle like this food very much,and it improves their butter.-The Jersey cow can be relied upon to make one pound of butter a day: many of them make eixteen pounds a week, and some of their pereormtocea are almost fabulous. The cows and call are generally kept dry where this Is possible, so that the calf can THE POLITICAL FIELD. THE DRIFT OF TUE PARTIES AND OOSSIP OF PARTY LEADERS. Talk on the Tariff???Presidential Gossip- Politics and Politicians All Over the Country. No Room fob Doudt.???The renewal of the Tilden agitation cornea in such shape that there is no room for doubt. Mr. Tilden has Anally composed all the elements in the par ty in this state whloh were supposed to be hoetile to him; he has evidently set tbe Sun to rising in his favor; he has had frequen t conferences with democratic leaden from other states, nnd these gentlemen are return ing home to spread the tidings that the sage of Gramercy Is willing to serve his country. Such a culmination of time and circumstan ces, perhaps, never before conspired to call A statesman from his retlremenL Recognising all this Mr. Tilden has finally yielded to tbe inevitable, and if the Chicago convention pats his name on tbe ticket he will be found ready to lead It to victory. The first decided intimation of the new state of a (Taira waa given in the interview of General Clnnie, of California, which cannot ???ven better than in bis own words: hen I got to New York I sent ray card to Mr. Tilden, bnt he was ont. and so get the fall nourishment; but it is exceed ingly difficult in some cases to dry too Jersey cow, aa the tenacity with which ehe makes milk is tho great secret ot her value. She is the most wonderful butter-making animal known to man. Other kinds ot cattle rua to beef, bnt tbe Jersey so assimilates her food that the globules which might make beef flow In her milk, and hence tbe extraordi nary production of some of these cows, and their high prices in a country where the chemist has been at work with butter, and has given ns various forms ot wagon-grease and coal-tar instead of tbe Alderney Dro it Is said In the Channel islands that the original Jerseys came from Switzerland or Russia, while others Insist that tbey were de rived from the mixture of a cow and a deer. For many generation!, indeed more than a hundred yeare, it hae been forbidden by law to bring any kind of cattle Into theta islands, for fear that the breed might bo cor- By the machinery need at Proepeot Hill it takea thirty-five mlnutee only to eeparmte the cream from the milk of forty*five cows. The separator is e Swedleh patent In one hour from the commencing of the milking the cream is in tbe creamery and the skimmed milk ta being fed to the cel vet. The Jersey cows procreate every thirteen months; when they are a year old they deeire to breed.* Cases have been known where these cows have become mother! at thirteen or fourteen months, although It takes fully nine mentbe for their offspring to be born. The bulls frequently have eight services a day. Mr. Sibley says that the keep of hie cattle in the winter ta somewhere between twenty and thirty cent! a day, but that for a portion of the year tbey do not cost above eight cents a day. There ere about thirteen men employed on the herd farm, and the cost of running it ta about $17,000a year. The closer these cattle are In-bred, the more but ter tbey prodnce;and it does not pay to fatten them for beef while they con tinue to make batter.

A Bit or Political History.???Senator-elect Blackburn, at a dinner party last week, gave an interesting secret chapter of political his tory in Washington daring tbe first days of March, 1877, This story he had from the lips of General Garfield himself. The incident wa3 related in the prescnco of himself, Alexander H. Stephens, and a number of other prominent bouse members at a convivial meeting where the eventful winter of 187(1 and 1877 was being discussed. The conversation turned upon the imminent danger the country was in dur ing the closing days of February and the first of March before the struggle was finally de cided and Hayes counted in. Itwaa agreed by all that if It has not been for the great self- control of the members of both parties and tbe real patriotism of the democrats a civil war would certainly have broken ouL General Garfield here came in with a strain of Ills" compliment for the democrats. He saL that perhaps none of them really knew how great the danger was, and added that he thought be was the means of suppressing t resolution of folly upon the part of his re' publican brethren, which, if carried out, would hare certainly resulted in a bloody outbreak. "Now," said General Garfield, ???os we are talking among ourselves as gentlemen and not aa politicians, I have no hesitation in giving you tbe proof what I have just as serted.??? Instantly there was the moat profound nl tention, Garfield said, after a moment???s pause to light a fresh cigar, that there was a panlo among the republican leaders upon the day preceding the final counting In of Ilsys by the house. It was believed by hem at the time that the filibus ters would bo abio to defeat tbe count, and leave tho country, upon Mtrch 4th, without an executive. Late on that day Garfield was summoned to an important conference of the republican leaders. He did not say who were present or where it was held, bnt from what followed tt was clear that President Grant and bis cabi net and the general of tbe army were at the meeting. Garfield arrived late, and the con ference had juat concluded its work. Upon his asking what was the object ot tne confer ence ana what had been done he waa told that those present believed that the filllbas- ters in tbe house bad the power to defeat tho count unless ex- ,. traordinary means wero employed willing to aid them to the fall extent of my It had been agreed npon, therefore, to march power?????? GOO men from tho arsenal to the capitol al It will be remembered that tho Now York Sun almost as atronnously as Mr. Watteraon. persisted In the declaration that under no circumstance would Mr. Tilden consent to ro-enter politics. Ho first gave official utter ance to tho row familiar phrase: ???Mr, Til den will under now circumstances be a candidate.??? Now, however, no announces a much more startling suggestion???namely, that ???nothing is more probable democratic natu Mr. his . reply than that tne convention will uoral Tilden and wait for before proceeding any further.??? ???Who was right about Tilden, you or those wbo instated he meant to have the nominal tlon?" "I was right and they were wrong." ???How ta Be?" "He ta very well for him, I believe, thongh I have noteeen him for eotne time," There is no doubt that bla nomination would please thousands of democrats. Do you oppose it, and, if so, why?" ???No; I do not oppose iL I have never op sosed it. I have said that he would not take t, but it ta surprising how the people in ait parts of tbe country are insisting upon the old ticket. This feeling has been much strengthened by tbe rumpus about tbe tariff. Everybody feels that if Mr. Tilden could be nominated, the tarlfl business would be pushed by snob a nomination into tbe ob scurity proper to theoretical abstractions. As the esse now stands, nothing seems to be more probable than that the democratic con vention will nominate Mr. Tilden and wait for hie reply before proceeding any further." ???The battle-gronnd will bain New York, and aa New York goes so the election will It being made that certain lust me Great Elected of 1870 was a verity in the race, the J ueitlon naturally came np, Can be carry ew York?

When teen, was remarked to Mr. Kelly: ???Tammany ball withes. It seems, Mr. Kelly, to have ???

A Talk with Ml. Basrrs.???Mr. George T. Barnes has been tbe representatiTeof Georgia on the national democratic committee since 1876. He has represented the state at large in every national convention since tha war ex cept thet which indorsed Greeley Baltimore. Few men ere bet- potted in polltlce than he.
