The Four Largest Cattle In the World.

The curiosity of the city has been
greatly excited to-day upon "bovine
matters. Mr.. George Ayrault is well.to.
do Duchess county farmer, man who
takes great pride in raising sleek, fat cat
tie. In this branch of farmers business
he met with great success, so great, in fact,
as to be able to-day to state that he has
raised the four latest steers in the world.
The lightest of them weighs $500 pounds,
and the heaviest over 1000 pounds. The
latter is named George Peabody" Re.
Gently Mr. Ayrault sold these cattle to
Mr. Lalor, Fulton Market, New York, for
$500 each, or $4,000 for all.
They are purely American, having been
calved on Mr.. Ayrault's farm, and they
are indeed wonderful to look upon. They
were brought here from Mr. Ayrault's on
huge barnlike sleds, being drawn into
town one by one, the first two by six
horses, and the last two by twelve oxen,
AS they passed through the city to the
stables of the Northern Hotel vast crowds
followed them, and the windows in the
street through which they moved were
filled with men and women peering down
upon the monstrous masses of flesh. They
are to remain here on exhibition till Fri
day, when they will be shipped to New
York and there butchered after which
their hides are to be stuffed and placed in
Central Park.
During the past year these animals have
gained 400 pounds, or $50 pounds each,
Their feed has been mostly meal and beets.
A beautiful acknowledgement of them
has already been issued, and tits soon to be
followed by chart from Mr. Ayrault,
giving particulars relative to their "bring-
ing up" The heaviest pair weighs 300
pounds heavier than any on record in this
country or Europe. The English steer
noticed in the Rural Ne,o Yorker as being
prize Christmas steer, weighing $3.50
pounds, falls short 1900 when compared
with Mr.. Ayraults lightest steer fact
which may nerve our English brethren to
more vigorous efforts in the future The
"bulls and bears" of Wall street should
look at them when they arrive in your
city, and note what they may yet come to.

Edwin M. Stanton.

Tie Now York Democrat makes tho
following startling statement: 2 Il. g0'
T. This once robust man went to his
own, death, though the particulars of
his demise are as yet not fully public,
enough is known to prove that in fit
of terror, when he trembled like q
leaf shaken by the storm at the ghost
of the murdered woman, who stood
before his vision, he cut his throat,
and died to escape his great dread. n
For years he has lived the life of o
conscience-strioken wretch. We per-
sonally know that he has told gem
tleman in this city--a gentleman high
in judicial position, and who is known
ns the soul of truth and honor--that
since the murder of Mrs. Surratt he,
Stanton, had not known one hour Of
peace. N"#H -@ q
Said he. when speaking Of this
mattor: -'JuuHe, ~ is IeErlDle !! InaJ
woman was murdered to appease tho
wrath of party! Aud I was the
coward that struck the blow for those
who demanded this woman. But I
have suffered---O God how / have
