NEW YORK.

New YORK, March 13.-The
Herald gives the results of an inter-
view with Senator Bayard in this
city yesterday. He is reported as
expressing the opinion that the ex-
ira session will be so short as to
exclude general legislation, only
two appropriation bills and the pas
sage of laws demanded by the
House at its last session engaging
the attention of Congress. He de-
fined these laws to be the repeal of
the war test oath of 1862 enact
ment of a law providing for impar-
tial juries; amendment of the pres
ent law which permits the presence
of armed forces at elections to keep
the peace, and the repeal of those
sections of the revised statutes
which provide for the appointment
of Federal officials as Supervisors
of Elections in several States, and
countless Deputy Marshals.
The commencement exercises OF
the Homeopathic Medical College,
of this city, was held at Chickering
Hall last evening. Forty new dis.
ciples of Habonemann took the
degree of NJ. D. The attendance
was very large.
The Stockholders of the Atlanta
& Charlotte Air Line road elected
the following Directors Eugene
Kelley, VIM. II. Fagg, A. ?. Ir-
wing, A. ?. Dickinson, Francis
Smith, Abraham (. Stewart and
VIM. B. Islam, of New York, Hi
ram W. Sibley and Byron P. Nc
Alpine, of Rochester, and Skipman
Wilmer and Francis P. Clark, Of
Baltimore. At subsequent mee5-
ing of the Board of Directors
Hiram W. Sibley was rec. ted
President. The report submitted
showed that the net earnings for
the last year were about forty
thousand dollars.
Since yesterday, Rowell had, up
to IL o'clock to-day, increased his
lead on Hartman, and was then
twenty-five miles ahead. Ennis is
gaming very rapidly on Hartman,
owing to the frequent rests the lat
ter takes. Hartman, at II o'clock
this morning, only led Ennis by
three miles. The fastest miles made
by the three men from midnight to
II o'clock to-day were: Rowell's
291st mile, nine minutes and forty
seconds ; Harriman's 279th mile,
eleven minutes and twenty seconds /;
Ennis 270th mile, ten minutes and
twenty seconds.

Carter Comfy IiNnls.

We spent two days in EliZabethtOn,
Carter county, this week, 1t being Cir
cult Court week, and are glad to say,
had no reasons to regret our trip.
ElizabethtOn is rs pleasant town as
any might wish TO visit, and the
scenery between Carter's Station and
Elizabethton, along the banks
of the Watauga, is simply
grand beyond description. The inhab-
itants of the town are sober and in
dustrious, and altogether it is thriv-
ing little town. Two wooden mills
have all the work they can turn out,
and are doing lively business. The
town boasts three hotels, all doing a
fair business, and we understand al
all good houses to stop at. But We can
speak from the card when We speak of
the Snyder House, and feel confident
in saying o pleasanter place can not
be found in East Tennessee, Knoxville
not excepted.
There is but one fault to find with
that country and that is the miserable
condition of the roads. If the roads
were in better condition Elizabeth
ton would present strong inducements
to those seeking 8 pleasant summer re-
sort. The climate and water can not
be surpassed, the people are quiet and
sober, in fact there has not been any
whisky sold in the place for eight
wears, al. d the hotel accommodations,
as before stated, are ample and good.
Judge Hacker is giving entire satis-
faction to the people who have elected
him to the high position he fills, and
we predict will grow more and more
in favor at every term of his courts.
Attorney General Fain, we under
stand, is also giving satisfaction to his
constituents.
We were placed under obligations
70 Messrs. G. P. Toncray, J. G. Smith
and others for kindnesses shown US
while In EIizabethion. Also to Messrs.
Hendrix and r sse at Carter's Station
for similar favors. Altogether our
trip was a very pleasant one.

eleven days Of being twenty-eight years
old. She was Jersey, and was giving
four quarts of good rich milk per day;
had gwen birth to but one bull calf
and all her helfers with one exception,
had been raised by Mr.. Metcalf or his
neighbors. The last five years she gave
milk constantly without breeding. If
any of our readers have known Of an
older COW of equal merit, we should
like to hear from them.
In Saxony, where the cold water sys-
tenn is carried out in large dairies, an
apparently effectual plan has been hit
upon for preventing the milk turning"
suddenly in tempestuous weather. A
thin iron-wire chain is passed through
the milk pans, the ends of which are
constantly in cold water. DR.. Fleisch-
man, of Baden, testifies to the practic-
ability of this method, for, be observes,
authorities on the subject maintain that
milk IS less sensitive to the electricity
that surrounds it more Immediately.
The fact that milk kept in enameled or
tin vessels is less liable to sour in hot
weather is thought to speak well for this
new theory.
A New JERSEY paper says that ninety
years ago it was regarded as settled
point that corn in drills gave larger
product than in hills, but that now,
after much discussion, it remains I'M
settled. The remark would not be
made by any one who had informed
himself on the subject. We have
thoroughly tested this question by
measuring the results and find almost
uniformly an increase of 25 to 80 per
cent. with drill corn over hills, provided
the proper distance is given for the
plants; 1t would be easy to obtain
diminished amount from the drills if
too thinly planted; Or ears of an in
ferior quality, if too thick. John John
ston informs US that after long expert
ence he arrives at results precisely
similar to those we have mentioned
