Washington Correspondent New York Tribune, The development of the new residence portion of the city is something needing to be seen to be appreciated. Itis unique. After false starts im varlous directions, some of them engineered by anxious speculators who had big plots of ground to sell as the site for a new White House, the residence part of the city has taken 8 definite direction of growth along Connecticut avenue, which follows an oblique line drawn from the White House to Washington Heights. This section has been rapidly built up with handsome houses and building continues stead- ly.

Each house has its own style and individuality, stands apart from its neighbor, ana is sur- rounded by green turf, with pretty beds of flow- ers here and there. The result is broad after street of houses, all varying, and many of them beautiful, presenting a marked contrast to the monotony of the streets of the close- built cities.

Peopie whe have been a good deal abroad, and hi to like the variety of European society, seem specially drawn to Washington, where the lomats furnish a foreign element of cultivated people, and the concentration here of repre- sentative men and women from all parts of the union gives society some picturesque contrasta, and a diversity which is agreeable. There is © good deal of wealth here, but it is a point of pride with the richest, as well as with those who are not eo rich, that the so- clety of Washington is very democratic, and that a man counts for what he is than for what he has.

I'm done selling Jerseys for the present. I was foolish enough to sell five calves for $150 each. They are not yet olf enough to move, and I would gladly buy them back at’8300 a piece.” The rise in the value of Jerseys has been re- markabie. In the past five years it has doubled almost many times. Up to 1877, the highest price recorded for a Jersey was $625, Last veek one sold at auction at €6,625, and several, have brought over $5,000. A cow offered to Mr. Wade in 1877, for $225, commanded @1,400 two yeare later. Mr.Wade has one cow, Ten- ella, for which he-has refused $5,000, and @ heifer that he refused 81.000 for when she was three months old. He says Tenella would from $7,000 to $10,000 at auction, and he his entire herd of 42 animals would bring at thirty days’ sale an average of $1,000 each. Our Georgia breeders are offering no calves for sale, but are on the contrary increasing thelr herds. ‘I doubt if a Jersey heiter can be in Georgia to-day, except at an unusual price. The largest owner of Jersey cattle in Amerioa, and, indeed, in the world, is Mr. W. B. Ding- tore, the great express mai . He has re- frained from selling any calves in the past five years and now has a trifle over three hundred of the finest of Jerseys. The figures quoted above seem enormons, and yet the demand at those prices far exceeds the supply. A good Jersey isa gold mine, as the breeders’ records show.
