Tho Now Yolk Ifcrald declares that Edison has at last solved the problem of utilizing tlie electric light for street illuminations and domestic purposes, and devotes a page of letter-press and illustrations to demonstrate particulars of the invention. Edison long ago decided in favor of employing incandescent platinum instead of carbon poiuts, and the electric arc for lightgiving purposes, and he devised a half dozen platinum lamps, none of which were perfectly satisfactory. The metal was found to rupture aud crack or else melt under tho LigL luinjiai-uliirc lirndnnu.l Uv tli? current. The nearest lie got to success with platinum was by placing the burner in a vacuum under glass, and lie contemplated introducing such a lamp to the public, although it was intricate, costly, and required the use of au air-pump to produce the vacuum. But one night, si'.ting in his laboratory, lie happened to roll a piece of lampblack mixed with tar in his hand, and it occurred to him to try it as a substitute for the platinum. He did so, and from this experiment his thoughts were led to a spool of cotton thread. The satisfactory light obtained from the tarred lampblack had couviuccd him that tilauicuts of carbon of a texture not previously used in clcctrie lighting were the hidden agents to make a thorough success of illumination by incaodesceuee, aud it was with this view he sought to test the carbou remains of a cotton thread. The thread was iixed between two iron clamps, and placed in a furnace.? At the end of au hour its delicate carbon framework was taken out. This slender lilauiciit Prof. Kdisou placed in a globe, and counoeted with the wires leading to the machine for generating the electric current. Then he extracted the air froui the globe aud turned on the electricity, aud instantly a beautiful light greeted his eyes, growing brighter and brighter as the current was strengthened lie kept up his experiments, and determined that the substance b :sl adapted for carbonization and the giving out of incandescent light was i ape:*, preferably thick, like card-board, but giving guud results cveu when very thin, lie ( makes the paper carbon now by cutting from a piece of Bristol card board a strip in the form of a horse shoe, about two inches in length and one-eighth of uu inch in width. A number of these strips arc laid flatwise in a wrought iron mould, and separated from each other by strips ol tissuepaper. The whole is placed in an oven heated to GOO degrees f ahrcnheit, and on , opening the mould the charred remains ol' the card board hursc-shoe are found. This is placed in a globe, the air is exhausted, | connection with the generator is made, and ) the lamp is ready for use. As completed, | it is a glass globe resting on a stand, hav- I iug exterior connections that lead to plati- | uuiii clamps within the globe, the carbon- j ized paper being supported in the clamps. | It is devoid ol' regulators, as Edison has' discovered that electricity can be regulated ! at the central station, just as the supply ol'j gas is now regulated. Only the lorui of) the lamp needs to be modified to serve for 1 the table, or in brackets or eliandclicrs. The ! light can be produced cheaper than the j cheapest oil, and is altogether under the ! I control of persons in the house where it is ! used. Edison has also a new style ot gen- ) crating machine, in which the pile of force j tlie armature is made to revolve at their ! base. lie is understood to claim that with j this machine ninety-live per eeufc. of the I I steam power revolving the armature is con- ! verted into electricity, a vast improvement : on any other machine ever constructed.? from them the electric current may be eon- ' ducted by the ordinary gas pipes from the i central depot to consumers. Edison has j also constructed an electro-metre to measure I the amount of electricity used by each, house- ! holder. ! ho Jlrmhf states that lie will ' j light up Mculo J 'ark on New Year's Kvo j i by the process disoribod, and show all the ' j world that ho has achieved suoooss in pro- ! ; duciiig au economical and feasible electric ' I light. tiii: iii:hai.i?\s oom.mknts. The story told in our columns to day will [ reassure the public whose faith iu the , Wizard of Mculo Park" had grown feeble; , will revive tho general confidence in the I'u- j tare of electricity as the common agent of | domestic and public illumination, aud may j possibly provoke auew the concern of gas- j makers. Ify this story it will he seen that ^ Mr. Edison has finally el iborated a lamp j for the use of electricity that is simpler (ban ; any lamp in common use in the houses of j tho people ; as simple as the gas burner j itself, and more manageable ; a lamp that ! j cannot leak aud lill the house with vile odors j or .combustible vapors, that cannot explode, j j and that does not need to he filled or trim lined. Once more, therefore, the public I may reasonably anticipate a time when tlicy will be free from nearly all the annoyances ; and grievances of ordinary lighting appura , inaiD unit in invi i mi u?i|iy tilUi'K, i/O.UU.% Ul i \ a lijjit compared to which every other, save j ! daylight itself, is a mere ^liiiiuieriug and | ^loatnititr ; compared to wliich, indeed, even j the daylight of ahout one-third the year is j ! a deteriorated and adulterated article.? i People generally knew the soft jd )rv of the I liv'ht electricity would inuke, but they never I dreamed of the possibility that it could be i j applied without an apparatus so complicated j | that it would need a special education to J | unable them to lake cart of it. i I J'erhaps, therefore, this may bo regarded j as the supreme point of .Mr. lid foil's j achievement in this field?that his last invented lamp is one of such unexpected and remarkable .simplicity. His lamp may be screwed on at the end of any ordinary ::as burner and the wires from the elec'rie battely may be conveyed to it in the tube | that served to convey the gas to the same I burner. Whether the wires thus connected come from a battery in another part of the house, or from some larger common reservoir of electricity outside the house, is a point as to which householders will be able to choose for themselves, since both sources are contemplated by the inventor. Mr. Edison, it will bo seen in the narrative, has contrived a battery for household use which can bo adapted to any different number of lamps and to other uses also?can light the house at night and run the sewing machine or rock the cradle all day. For country houses, or for the houses in the city of people who want to keep themselves out of the clutches of corporations that may succeed the gas companies, that will be the chosen source oT erecinmy. -irut iua this subtle fluid will be made on a scale and served to houses at u Gxed prfCe as gas is uow served, and of course the street lamps must bo served froui such great public laboratories. Edison's discovery of a substance upon 1 which electricity could produce the light 1 of iucuudoscetice with comparative iuexpen- 1 sivenoss and perfect clfect is one of those 1 little romances of science with which the ] pathway to ov :ry great invention is strewed. 1 Platinum was a great obstacle for a while 1 in this limit; and, not altogether satislaeto- 1 ry in operation while of extremely high I value, it seemed at the moment as if it 1 might make the search altogether vain.? 1 liut the happy discovery of the uses of a * bit of cotton thread has turned in a moment -s the whole current of this story into a for- " tunale channel, and we arc rejoiced to congratulate not merely Edison, but the puo- c pie of all civilized nations upon Edison's r success. v - f A Tkst Kkcoud rott Daiuy Cows.? t For some time past both the breeders and 1 the purchasers of pure-bred, herd-book-re- 1 corded, dairy cows, have been conviuced c that .something more is required to give sub- I stuutiul evidence of value than the bare ( pedigree of an animal entered in a Herd- i Rook. A few expert.-*, who know the whole t hi.story of the best animals, may have been i able to judge of the possible merits of a i particular animal by her pedigree, hut to I the large tuajory el' purchasers, the record- , 1 cd entries were el' uo more significance than c the hieroglyphics which Texan eattlc-uien o brand upon the flanks of their cows. Mys- i tery is always impressive. And though some people like to be mystified, the larger ; a number of dairymen, who have kept pure- 1 lned animals, have been greatly dissatisfied j < with the uncertainties of the IJcrd-Rooks. | : r'oo^iitly e.tii.u in AAiiuaatuui W^tll | 1 the shipment to the West, and sale there, ; i of sjine cows recorded in the Jersey Cattle , 1 Club Register, have opened the eyes ol the I purchasers of pure bred eattlo, for they j ' have been assured by the best authority | J that although a cow may lrire been record- ' cd in the .Register, and her pedigree may 1 ...o.. i... , i ..... a i? i,.i i...

This shock to tins con- t < lidence ol' pcrsous who luul a pro (build re- j sped lor "a record," has greatly helped the j ' impression that something more is wanted j ( to give the pedigree a meaning and a value; , J and that this need is u record ol perform- 1 oilers of the cows entered in the Herd- i 1 Hook. it is proposed by some .vclHknown I ( and influential gentlemen to establish a sys- | ] tein of tests of pure-bred dairy cows, to the jJ end that their character, quality, and value j ' may be associated in the record with their ! 1 pedigree.

Jan. 1. ^ <>oi> A SI IKS.?The value of ashes as A j fertilizer, depends principally upon the i'ot- i ash and Phosphoric Acid they contain.? i The percentage of these varies higcly, in a.-lies from diilbront woods, varying from from 10 per cent to 21 per cent for the for- I mcr, and -l per cent to 12 per cent for the : latter. This would give n ot far from four ] to five pounds of potash to a bushel of or- i dinary mixed uiiLached ashes, which,reck- ' oticd at I ' cents per poutid--ihc present market value of potash in the commercial fertilizers?would give the value of a bushel as from 18 to 22' cents.

ROTATION OF CROPS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP UP FERTILITY OF SOILS. The necessary stops toward au improved husbandry arc : 1. To cultivate loss laud. 2. To make that which is cultivated rich in plant l'oou, ro that it may produce large crops. 3. The practice of a rigid system of rotation of c.ops, and uiixcd farming.? 1. The cultivation of the grasses and less of hoed crops and feeding upon the farm the most of its products. 5. Enriching the laud by turning uuder greeu crops.? All observation and experience go to show that those sections of the country are most prosperous where a mixed system of farming prevails. The farmer who tiuds in his own garners that which is needed to supply his dailv wauis. is far lemov.-J *? <>... ?t... aya ios.cs attoudaut upon "outside yrarcnoscs, which so severely tax his means. It is uot unfrequently the ease, when he produces hut a single article lor the market, that it commands a price which but poorly compensates him lbr his labor, while he has to pay exorbitant prices lbr that which he is compelled to purchase. This is "selling the hide lbr a penny, and buying back the '.ail for a shilling," which surely is not a profitable transaction. Mixed agriculture lcccssurily leads to a system of rotation of ;rops, which is the It :y to successful I'aruiug. That there is a vast recuperative lower in lands where a succession of differ:rops is growu no one can deny in the light >t universal experience. Thousands of those vlio have hitherto devoted themselves to a ingle production?cotton, tobacco or grain ?now acknowledge this error. Successive crops of I lie same character xhaust lands of the particular food tliey eijuirc, with great rapidity. The aid rhieh nature so freely rcudcrs. where erims , Utalu, withheld lu oucli U P^SlCUl Of CU1ivation, because the farmer is violating lier aws. To light against nature is to war at earful odds, and it is uot difficult to foroast the result. To work in harmony with icr, insures a comparatively easy victory. )no of the most beautiful ol her provisions s, that while one crop exhausts the soil ol hat element w hich enters most largely into ts composition, by the operation ol souie nystcrious law it prepares that same soil or some other crop ol a diilcrciit character. I'll is is a very curious and interesting proess of nature, which results immensely to >ur advantage it we expect her aid. As an llustratioti of this principle, we knew that lover d<not successfully follow itself, illhoagb it leaves the grouud in the best >ossible condition for coru or wheat. One :roj>, therefore, restores, in a measure, what mother has taken. l?y raisiuu V the ( auio plant, you interfere with this JoauilAit eonui\.iueo of nature to rebuild ler wasted strength. Nature, therefore, will do uiuch of our work :'or us if we ouiy second her efforts, and ;ive full scope to her beiieliccnt laws. Lt is, .herelbrc, a?juc#tion for the fanner to determine whether ho will by a rotation of crops, lave soil thus enriched by drafts on nature's .rcasury, or draw entirely upon his own. I lo not mean to argue that there is nothing for the farmer to do to make his lands proluctive. Far from it. ilut I do argue that le may make nature a co-worker with him a attaining a desirable eud. Change is a noininent feature in nature's economy.? i'ut down the forest of hard wood and the pines succeed. Again, remove the pine md the hard wood reappears. One kind jf grass succeeds another, and nature suplilies the seed. These changes give the oil rest, to the end that the process of rei?j.?.? ?? ? ? -y pi-? a ?;nu? succeed each otlier, and each performs its 'metion in promoting vegetable lite.

During the whole term of hie 'residency he was surrounded by such corupt scoundrels as Belknap, Rabcock, Sheperd aud others, whom he protected in their iscality and who arc still his associates.? t is a well known fact that (Jrant was collided by every member of Johnson's Cablet of palpable lying aud treachery. Now, if these quasi Democrats are in faor of electing such a man as II. 8. (Jrant third time to the Presidential chair in vilation of the example of Washington aud II the other American Presidents, they arc ither fools or knaves, or unprincipled" wiss, ready to light uudcr auj banner ibatf ill pay and dishonor their State. Who shall be thn next Deinnerniio ?mv?idatc for the Presidency next fall ought to epend on who is supposed to bo the most vailable candidate?whether Tilden, Ilonrieks, Bayard, Hancock, or any other Iruo nd honorable Democrat. The Southern tales siiuuiti not ne prominent in nis Herniation, but leave the selection entirely tolorthorn Democrats. No candidateshould o nominated wlw^s not able to carry New *ork and Indiana. If Tilden and lleiiricks could carry these Statea*, their noniiatiou would be a proper and haadsomo liing, as they wore cheated out of their lection four years ago. Hut it would seein, rom the hist election in New York, that lovcrnor Tilden cannot uuite the Demoratie vote of that State, Governor Soylour, it is thought, could carry the Stuto f New York, but he will not consent to be candidate. William Lowndes, of South laroliua, said that '' the Presidency ought ot to be sought for or refused."' This hould he the doctrine of every patriotic tatcsmau in the land. The conduct of Tilden and Hendricks, 11 submitting to the inauguration of llaycs nd Wheeler, under the circumstances, was nsc, unselfish, and patriotic. The Demorats in Congress agreed to leave the whole latter to arbitration. The arbitrators reused to hear the testimony of the gross and roll known frauds perpetrated in Louisiana nd Florida, and declared Hayes and Vhoeicr clccto 1, although they were beaton y more than 1100,000 votes ! The Demoratie party was hound in honor to abide liis unjust award. Any attempt to iuauuratc the candidates really elected would avc been revolution, and would have inolvcd the whole I'nion in a bloody civil rar.

The Dcm>crats are for a strict construction of tho Yderal constitution, and the Republicans or a lutitudiuuriuu construction of that great barter. The Democrats arc in favor of States' rights, free trade and no monopolies, elf-government, and the eijual protection if all the people, and an economical and loucst administration of tho Federal govruiiicut. Tho Republican party, under ivery name they have assumed and dis;raccd, from that of Federalists to that of lepublicaus, have been opposed to the rights >f the States and free trade.
