Calico offalnst Vclrct. The majority of American! women ev ery day wear calico, and are content with it. But velvet, soft, lustrous, luxu rious, excites admiration in every female heart: and she who cannot afford to buy . . . . f i .i - i . . it is noDie ii bub aoes uoi envy uer sister who can. There is no natural antagon ism between velvet and calico. In a modest apartment, plainly curtained and carpeted, with rush-bottom chairs, and pleasing though not costly pictures, how out of plaoe would a velvet robe appear. But make the room spaoious, spread the floor with tapestry, shade the windows with damask, illuminate the walls with the paintings of Oorregio and Titian, of Bembrandt and Landseer, and would not calico feel itself out of plaoe in so muoh splendor ' Yet beneath shilling prints what warm, womanly hearts are beating, what lovely traits of charaoter are developed, what sterling virtues are illustrated, what' exquisite sensibilities respond to the touch of nature I There are thousands who hold this paper with hands that are not very soft, and fancy that if they could don a hundred-dollar velvet cloak, and the empreBS cloth or gros-grain below it were the every day dress; and the hat and plume, the furs and gems were all of a piece J if the car pet on which they tread were as soft as the lamps are bright, and the couch as luxurious as the rooms are spacious such a life would be all music. " I was ever a lover of happy human faces,"' says gentle Oliver Goldsmith. If that child of genius and of poverty were to walk Broadway would he see under the os . trich plumes and the point-lace vails the faces that had power to make him glad ? There are instances in the world, "thank God, there are lives in this great metropolis where the finest natural abili ty, the highest culture, and evidences of the free indulgence of exquisite tasto blend in a unison as rare as it is delight ful. There are Maintenons who love satins and laces, yet the heart below the gloss is warm with love of virtue and pity for orphans. There are Bevignes who scan the gay world from the loop holes of literary leisure, and well-worn copies of Browning and of Tennyson lie beside the casket and the glove-box on their dressing-tables. But these are the rare and bright exceptions. A thousand hearts are stung with euvy because their Thibet is not a satin, because the muff of Siberian fox that protects thdr hands is not an ermine or a seal. In short, those who spend $500 a year in dress look up with admiration to those who spend $1,000, and down with disdain on those who are tastefully clad on less than $100. Now the young . woman who earns the $100 on which she dresses well for a year is a more valuable member of society than she who spends $500 in silks, grena dines, lawns, laces and furs, when that $500 comes from the fat bank account of an indulgent father. The enterprise that an industrious girl discovers, the self reliance, the patience of labor, the submission to fortune are jewels that outsparkle garnets, or sapphires, or the onyx stone. As & rule, the velvet cloaks do nothing for the advancement of the race ; they may feebly push out one or two little white pawns on the chess board of life, but the dark knight who plays against them pounces down, and oblivion closes over mother and child. The girls who are to be the mothers of the able men of 1900, are to-day earning their calicoes and poplins by wading through snow-drifts to cold school houses, and explaining fractions to wooden-headed boys j they dip their pens into ink that is icy ; they churn when the butter is long a-coming; they sweep when their fingers are numb and red around the broom-handle. They have the inspiring consciousness of being strong and competent ; in the labors of lite they can carry one end or the log ; in society they would bless and cheer rather than shine, for " "Tis only noble to be good ; Kind heart aro more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood." JV. T. Trihune. Annctjo Juiis. From a small book privately printed by that able and industrious antiquarian the late Wm. Jackson Davis, we copy for our readers the following interesting account of a lady whoee property has been the cause of a great deal of trou ble and discontent to her descendants even to the present day : " Annetje Jans was the widow of Do minie Bogardus, the first clergyman of New Amsterdam, who arrived here in 1633. He married this lady some years after his arrival, she being then called Annetje Roalofa. She was the widow of Boelof Jansen, one of the earliest set tlers. At the time of her marriage to Dominie Bogardus, Annetje Jans, or Koelofs, had four children, the issue of her former marriage, and by the Do minie she subsequently had also four children. The farm about which this controversy has been so long sustained embraced about sixty-two acres, which were granted to Boelof Jansen in the year 1636. Upon his death it passed to his widow, and after the marriage with the Dominie it commonly went by the name of the Dominie's Bowery. It ex tended from a line a little south of the present Warren street, northwesterly about a mile and a half, to what is now Christopher street, forming an irregular triangle, having its base on the river, running, however, on Broadway only from Warren to Duane street. Dominie Bogardus embarked on the ship Prin cess, on a visit ta the fatherland in the year 1647, and the vessel being cast away, the dominie, with about eighty others, perished. The widow continued her residence in this city, and in 1654 the grant of the farm was confirmed to her and her heirs by Governor Stuy ves aut, and subsequently in 1667, after her death, it wag confirmed by the English government (which had then recently come into possession of the province), to her heirs. It appears that in 1670 the vendue master of this city sold by or der, and for account of the heirs of An na Bogardus, deceased, a part of this property, consisting of land and meadow lying on the north of Mespath's Kill 1 above Canal street) commonly called ominie's Hook ; John Sharpe became the purchaser at 7,050 florins. Sharpe afterwards refused to ratify on accennt of some alleged flaw in the title, and the gale wag never carried through. In the following year, Wm. Bogardus, for him self and brothers, Jan and Jonas, and two of Annetje Jans' sons-in-law, (act ing in right of their wives), conveyed this farm to Colonel Franois Lovelace, then Governor of New York. One of the sons (Cornelius) did not join in the conveyance, and it is alleged that his heirs are entitled to a share of the pro perty. In 1705, the farm (then called the King's Farm) wag leased by the col onial authorities to Trinity Church, which hag since remained in possession, and enjoyed the income of the property, which is immense, being in the best parts of the city. The ground upon which the presont heirs reBt their right to this property, is not simply as the represent atives of the son Cornelius, but upon the ground that whatever title the Col onial government took from the heirs became vested, after the Bovolution, in the people of this State. "To return to the personal affairs of the subject of this sketoh, it appears that she was a lively person, and as scandal concerning the great ones of those days was much in vogue, this lady was not without being assailed by its shafts ; though they fell harmlessly before her. She continued her residence in this city until her death." N. T. Mail. Senator Spragne's Encounter with n Buffalo. Senator Sprague visited Kansas a few weeks ago, and, like all other Eastern visitors, wanted to gee the buffalo on his native heath. Accordingly, Benj. Akers, Esq., of this city, got up a party, and with the Senator, went out to the buffalo country. A few miles from Fort Wal lace they found the bisons in thousands, and the hunters " went in." Mr Akers singled out an old patriarch of the herd, chased him a few miles, and after a few successful shots, brought him down. After his own game was secure, he com menced looking around for the rest of the party. The Senator had also singled out an old bull, had driven him apart from the rest of the herd, and was in a little ravine about two miles distant from Akers, but in plain view. The buf falo had been wounded, and showed fight. The Senator would pursue him for a Bhort distance, but would then be compelled to turn his horse's head in the other direction, and get out of the way of the maddened animal ; once, in wheel ing Buddently, his horse fell, and the bull was right upon him in an instant. Akers says this was one of the closest calls he ever saw so close, indeed, as to leave no doubt in his mind that there would very soon be a necessity for a special Senator ial election in Bhode Island, " to fill va cancy ;" but just in the nick of time the valhant Senator regained his seat in the saddle and was off like the wind, his horse being stimulated by a sharp " punch" from the bull's horn. It seems that Mr. Sprague had pursued the ani mal closely, fired several shots upon him, wounding him severely, but not fatally, and that his ammunition had then given out ; Mr. Akers, comprehending the sit uation, came to his assistance and rein forced him with a few rounds, when the bull was promptly brought down. The Senator brought in with him the head of the animal, and is having it "cured" to take home, as a trophy of his skill and prowess as a buffalo-hunter. Lcatcn icorth (Kansas) Times, Dee. 20. Mrs. Lninbort's Demoralized Cow. Since Mrs. O'Leary's cow got her name in the papers, the wholo envious bovine family are cutting up didoes to secure an equal notoriety. The latest exploits are by a cow belonging to a Mrs. Lambert of Bay City, Michigan. Exploring the back yard on a recent evening she put her head into a barrel, which she couldn't get off, and becom ing very much frightened at her con dition, she blindly forced her way into the wood-shed, thence into the kitchen, and thence into the dining-room of the house, becoming all the while more furious. From this room she made her woy into the parlor, throwing down and trampling under foot everything that came in her way. Mrs. Lambert aroused her husband, who arose, but finding he could do nothing, went for help. Tho cow next rushed into the bed room where Mrs. Lambert, with a little baby and one child occupied a bed, and another little child a crib in front of it. The enraged animal mounted the bed, but help arrived, and not an instant too soon. The window was raised from the outside, and a neighbor attemped to enter, when the barrel give him a blow which knocked him back against the fence. Tho children were at last secured and passed through the window, and Mrs. Lambert soon followed. The door of the bedroom was then closed and the cow left to herself. She finally became soothed, and walked out after demolish ing all the nice furniture in the lower part of the house. Springfield Republi can. An Immense Factory . A writer in the Engineering and Min ing Journal gives some figures in connec tion with the immense steel works be longing to the Messrs. Krupp, at Essen, Germany. They cover about one square mile, one-fourth of which space is under cover. Mr. Krupp employs 10,000 work men, 8,000 in the steel works, and the rest in mines and blast-furnaces. Noth ing but steel is made at Essen. The product in 1866 was 61,500 tons of cast steel. The works contain over 50 steam hammers, from 120 pounds weight up to 50 tons ; there are several of 25 and 15 tons. The greut fifty-ton hammer is the largest in the world ; it cost $580, 000. The foundations for it are 100 feet deep, in three parts, of masonry, large oak trunks and cylinders, bolted togeth er. The anvil and frame rest on these, the rest of the hammer having separate foundations, to save the jar. Four cranes, each capable of bearing 200 tons, at the four corners of the hammer, serve it with the red-hot masses. Krupp in tends to build a hammer of 100 tons ! At these works are made the immense cannon of the Prussian army. A Yankee Millionaire. A Boston correspondent of the Chica go Journal writes as follows : The wealthiest man in Massachusetts is Wm. F. Weld, doing business at No. 42 Central Wharf, under the name and style of Wm. F. Weld & Co. The firm members are Wm. F. Weld, E. Baker, Jr., Wm. G. Weld, and Geo. W. Weld. The senior member of the firm is almost seventy years old, is a passive member, and is worth $18,000,000. The old sign over the doorway on Central Wharf is almost obliterated by age. Mr. Weld, who lives on Arlington avenue, wag en gaged in the dry goods trade gome twenty-five or thirty years ago. He failed, paid forty cents on the dollar, but sever al years after was fortunate in business, and paid dollar for dollar on his indebt edness. From the dry goods business he went into the East India, San Do mingo, and provincial trade, and at one time monopolized the former, and be coming exceedingly wealthy he engaged in the shipbuilding business, in which he has been one of the heaviest dealers, having contracted and bought and gold more vessels than any two leading men in the country. The conscription in the Russian army for the coming year ig fixed at six men in every thousand. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Potatoes Causes of Deteriora tion. We all have observed the great deterioration in our potato crops, during the paBt ten or twenty years i end what ig the cause of this alarming decrease of tubers f Can science or chemistry point out the reason, or aid in remedying the diffioulty P We think it can, and in or der to place the matter in a clear light, we will point out the kind nud amount of food which the potato demands. We had a field of potatoes upon the farm, which yielded 300 bushels to the acre J this may be regarded as an old-fashioned crop. This crop removed from the soil in tubers and tops at least 400 pounds of potash ; also it removed 150 pounds of phosphorio acid. Now these amounts are very large, and serve to show that the potato plant ia a great consumer of the two substances, and also it shows that in order to restore our potato fields to their former productive condition, we must supply phosphatio compounds and substances holding potash in large quan tities. For six or eight generations in New England, our fathers have been ex hausting the soil, by removing these agents in their potato and other crops, and we have reached the time when the vegetable is starving in our fields for want of its proper food. Our farmers have found that new land gives the best crops, and this is due to the fact that such fields afford the most potash. But so long as wa crop our pastures so un reasonably, we cannot resort to new land, as land is not new that has had its Eotash and phosphorio elements removed y grazing animals. Bemember that a potato field which gives but 130 bushels to the acre, requires at least 160 pounds of potash ; but allowing the tops to de cay upon the field, 60 pounds of this is restored to the soil again, as that amount is contained in them ; a medium crop of potatoes requires twice as much phos phorio acid as e medium crop of wheat, so that with two years with wheat the land is deprived of no more than the agent than it does in one year with po tatoes.

Among popular weekly storv-papers. few are more widely appreciated than the Western World, published by Juraes R. Elliott, 30 Bromfleld street, Boston, Mass. Independent of the literary attractions of this Doner, its value as a family periodical is enhanced by the pictorial premiums offered to new subscribers, each of whom for the annual sum of $3, Is en titled to receive the paper for one year, as well as to a gilt-picture either engraved upon steel or executed in chromo-tint alter Prang's best manner ; a subscriber of four is entitled to both ot these premiums.

Among the enterprises of the Bcason, a very noticeable one is tne urand Uilt Carnival, or ganized by the National Engineers' Associa tion, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In these times of rapid travel there is no kind of person more important to the public at large than the rauroaa engineer. JNay, let us go lurther than this, and say that the engineer of any branch whatever, who has steam boilers under his control, is a person of the greatest importance to the community. Granting this it must be admitted that tbe enterprise referred to, based upon the educating engineers, is one to which the public in general should accord its most earnest aid and accedence.

Other evidences there are, however, with regard to this. For example, the leading men of busi ness of the State of Wisconsin, as well as of other States, give their names in aid of the en terprise. Among these we may mention as endorsers the Hon. 8. K. Williams, State Sen ator, jn. I.; A. w. Ullmore, Esq., banker, Chi cago ; N. B. Caswell. Esq.. merchant, of Mil waukee; and Messrs.

The interest taken in this Carnival is evi denced by the fact that engineers of the South ern and Western railroads have taken large quantities of tickets, and that clubs for the purchase of-tickets have been organized all through the country. From the tone of the press, generally, in speaking of this enterprise, it can be gathered that editors are satisfied with regard to the object and organization of it, ana tne names ot the business men who are acting as agents for the sale of tickets is a further guarantee for the soundness of tbe Grand Musical Carnival of tho National En gineers' Association, of Milwaukee.
