FASHIONS FOR FEBRIAR
Mom the Nev' York Vrening Post.-1
This month there are few changes in
suits or evening dresses. The bonn'ets—
pretty c4thinationiof lace, feathers and
flowers— re constantly becomin,g smaller.
Meanthn the importers and jobbers are
preparing for their early spring . opening,
and milliners and mantua-makers are
anxiously waiting the arrival of the new
styles, hoping that the new bonnets will
be so difficult of formation that! no un
skilled hand can makt them. ,
EVE:CING DRESSES. I
A beautiful evening dress, made to be
worn on a recent grand occasion, was of
heavy garnet colored silk, and trimmed
with satins shade lighter than the ma
terial. The front and sides of the skirt
were gored, the back breadths straight
and full, with a very long train, and each
seam corded with the material of the
dress. The bottom of the skirt had a
satin fold an inch wide, and falling to
this was a flounce one.quarter of a yard,
headed by a puffing_ of the silk, each
edge bound with satin and` set on in re
versed. plaits. The bodice was cut at
ti
medium height On. the back nd shoul•
ders, and quite low in a point i
front, to
be worn over a lace waist. T ere . was a
row of upright scollops of satin around
the neck. The sleeves had four satin
folds running straight around the hand,
and above these was a row of scollops
bound with satin. The bow at the back
was bound with satin, the ends having
two rows of fringe surmounted by folds,
one at the ends and the other at half their
length.
An attractive evening dress, particular
ly brilliant in gaslight, is of pale pink
silk, having a silvery lustre, the only
- trimming consisting of flounces of silve
ry tulle and the bodice trimmed with
tulle folds and white silk fringe. This
on a graceful figure is an effective dress.
- Shot or chene silk makes handsome
dresses; one of blue and black, recently
worn, was very elegant. The skirt was
made plain, with long, sweeping train,
"Pompadour" bodice, with a fall •of
heavy fringe around the neck, and the
sleeves and sash were trimmed with satin
quilling and fringe. ----

Something new is a suit of black satin,
the under skirt having a stripe of satin
alternating with a plain stripe, and with
out trimming. The upper skirt is of plain,
satin, edged with fringe and festooned at
the sides and seams of the front breadth
by rosettes of satin. Over this is worn a
close fitting sack, the short skirt festooned
and also trimmed with tassel fringe.
Another suit is of heavy black silk, the
skirt trimmed, with narrow satin folds; the
over skirt has the front. breadth in form
of an apron, rounding up from the centre,
with the gored side-breadths lapping over
it, and turned back in revers trimmed
with folds. This sairtis own at the back,
and joined by bands of salt with satin
buttons at the ends; heavy netting fringe,
headed by satin folds, is set around the
bottom of the skirt; the bodice •is plain,
with fringe across the shoulders, and sat
in buttons in front.
An elegant walking costume, and some
what novel, is a black silk; the skirt plain
and it, sack with the skirt short in
- front, sloping away deep at the back, and
trimmed with folds and fringe. 3 cape
is joined at the neck in front, from which
it slopes down Over the arm, and below
the waist at the back is also trimmed with
fringe. Another suit has the skirt trim
with garnet silk set on in squares.
The upper skirt is quite long, open about
three-eighths of a yard at the seams, the
corners turned up in revers faced with
garnet silk and edged with black lace.
This suit has a small round cape trimmed
with lace.
A novelty is a purple velvet with satin
folds, and a round cape, caught up' in the
back with rosettes of purple satin; the
sash ends have rosettes of satin.
xortsrx G ROBES.
A superb morning • dress is of purple
poplin, the skirt gored and trained, with
two rows of narrow fringe,
the heading
in variegated colors, each side of the satin
. buttons in front, and extending over the
shoulders. A striped silk of brown and
lavender is trimmed with dark brown
silk bands, with buttons to match. A
shot poplin was neatly made and trimmed,
but was not pretty, though the material
was good, the colors giving it a common
appearance. But the neatest of all morn
ing robes is a white alpaca, trimmed with
narrow scarlet velvet, the "revers at the
throat faced with white satin.
A Relic of Benjamin Franklin
The Chicago Erening Journal says it
is indebted to C. B. Nelson, Esq., of that
city, for the privilege of presenting to the
public, for the first time, the following
beautiful and characteristic memorial of
Dr. Franklin. It was written to Miss E.
Hubbard :
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12, 1756.
DEAR CHILD : 1 condole with you.
We have lost a most dear and valuable
relation, but it is the will of. God and Na
ture, that these mortal bodies be laid aside
*hen the soul is to enter into real life.
Existing here on earth is scarcely to be
called life. 'Tis rather an embryo state
—a preparation to livirtm, and man is not
completely born until lie is dead. Why,
then, should we grieve that a new child
is born among the immortal S—a new
member added to their society? We are
spirits. That bodies should be lent to us
while they can afford us pleasure, assist
ns in acquiring knowledge,' or in doing
good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and
benevolent act of God. When they be
come unfit for their purposes; and afford
us pain instead of pleasure, instead of an
aid become an incumbrance, and answer
none of the intentions for which they
were given, it is equally kind and benev
olent that a way is provided by which we
may get rid of them. That way is death.
We ourselves, prudently in some cases,
choose a partial death. A. mangled, pain
ful limb, which cannot be restored, we
willingly cutoff. He . that plucks out a
tooth parts with it freely, since the pain
goes with it; and he that quits the whole
body parts with all pains and possibility
of pains and diseases it was liable to or
capable of making him suffer. Our friend
and we are invited abroad on a party of
pleasure that is to last forever. His chair*
was first ready, and he has gone before
us. We could not conveniently all start
together, and why should you and I be
grieved at this, since we are soon to fol
low, and we know where to find him ?
Adieu, my dear, goof child, and 'be
lieve that I shall be, in 'every state, your
affectionate papa,
BENJ. Ftei.sxmw.

Improved Method, of Casting iron Pipes.
A recent German 'journal contains a
notice of a pipe foundry near Nancy, in
France, in which certain improvements
over German methods are pointed out,
and which may be of interest to our read
ers, although substantially the same prac
tice, in many respects, has been for some
time in use ithe United States. The ad
ill
vantage chi ed, among others, is greater
despatch, in smuch as a tube can be
r.noulded and;cast in two hours' time, or
fiur or five in a day, from one box, in
stead of reqUiring twenty-four hours.
The boxes for casting the tubes in the
establishment in question are set up on
end, in a semi-circle, around a crane that
commands the whole of them, and con
sists of two semi-cylindrical jointed por
tions connected by pins. At their lower
end is a valve, serving to close the tube,
while, a conical depression in the middle,
receives the spindle of the pattern and of
the core, exactly centering them. Tubes
of different 1 sizes are provided, so that
there need not be more than one and a
half or two inches space between the pat
tern and the walls, and the labor of
stamping is thus diminished, Small aper
tures are, of course, left in the tubes, to
permit the escape of the gases. The
mould is made in the usual manner, the
patterns being of smooth and , polished
iron, and turned around once on its axis,
before being withdrawn, by means of the
crane. Heated gaseous matter (the pro
duct of combustion) is then admitted from
the furnace into and through the tube
until the sand is perfectly dry, which
takes place in from one to two hours.
The core is then inserted, and the casting
effected. The connection between the
furnace and the casting tubes is estab
lished by means of a slide or valve.
Meteors in Sweden.
Orr New Year's Day, meteoric stones
were seen to fall on the estate of Count
Van Essen, in Upland, and to - the South
of Upsala the - peasants of many of the vil
lages, on their return from attending, di
vine service at the parish churches, dis
tinctly heard in the air above them three
loud detonations, followed by a hissing
noise, which lasted, according to their ac
count, for more than a minute, when sev
eral stones were seen to fall on a surtace
of a small lake they were passing. , Many
of these Were picked up, and found to be
still warm; others had made holes in the
ice and had sunk to the bottom, either
from their greater size and weight, or from
t still retaining sufficient heat to melt the
ice on which they fell. The stones picked
up have sharp edges with slightly curlin ,,
horns; and on the outside are of a darts
color, as if they had been exposed to a
violent heat, whilst the interior is grey,
much resembling the rock of this country
_known by German geologists as gratcacke.
The largest that have been piekell up are
the size of a maxis Est, others are not
bigger than a walnut. Several fell so close
to the church goers that they were imme
diately picked up and brought away. The
women were much frightened at the un
usual phenomenon. About a dozen of the
fragments have been forwarded to Stock
holm, where they have been recognized
as genuine meteoric stones, and are to be
, analyzed. _ _
A CORRESPONDENT of Wilk - es' Spirit,
writing from Logansville, this State, tells
the following story, which, he says, is
vouched for by.some of the most respect
able citizens in that neighborhood: The
victor of this singular combat was Jacob
Karstetter, Esq., an old resident of the
county, and Who is well known for his
unerring aim, strong nerves, and great
endurance. He served in the late war
from beginning to end, and, although be
yond the age required by law. he offered
his services from pure love of adventure
and patriotism. He is a man of wealth,
and consequently not a hireling soldier.
But now.to the fight; he was rather rude
to a dog owned by a' sporting man, who
told, him he had better take care or the
dog would bite him. The dog was a
large bull, and uncommonly ferocious.
The, gentleman remarked, "he would bet
five 'dollars he could get down on all
fours, fight and whip the dog, in dog
fashion, and not touch him with his
}muds." The bet was taken at once.
Down went Karstetter, who commenced
a series of growls, and made a forward
motion toward the dog. The dog, sec
onded and hissed on by his owner, at once
opened the fight, neither intimidated or
frightened by the unearthly growls,
shouts, snarls and exclamation of his an
tagonist, but seizing him by the left cheek
drew first blood in good style. After a
moment Karstetter got the upper hold and
changed his base; he actually got the dog
by the ear and shook him so severely that
the dog cried out with terror, and after
he was sufficiently punished his tormentor
let him go, when he made off as fast as
his legs would carry him, howling with
pain.
THE abandonment of the S. N. Pike
enterprise to reclaim the marshes between
Jersey City and Newark has resulted in
making fever and ague prevalent in the
latter place. "The Pike Company," says
the Newark Advertiser, "built a strong I
dyke, but becoming dissatisfied with their
prospects they abandoned the woit ' and
compromised with the contractor -by'pay
ing him $40;000. The result is that the
meadows are now shut out frpro - the ebb
and flow of the tides, the rain that falls
within them remains standing, and mala
ria is the result. We have now a stag
nant pool of fresh water, many square
miles in extent, lying all along the eastern
boundary of our city, and it is hardly
possible that such a cause should fail to
noticeably increase our death rate. The
remedy, however, is easy and cheap.
Without breaking down the dykes, for
, they will be wanted yet, the gates at all
I the leading ereeks and sluices should be
opened, permitting the free overflow of
the meadows at every tide; changing the
waters constantly and making them again
healthy."
A LITTLE incident which occurreil re
cently will show the extent to which the
Wall street brokers carry their theory of
borrowed .capital, and the clever dodges
to which they resort to avoid paying taxes:
justly due the Governm a
ent. A bnking
house, of no mean pretensions in the
street, reports, month by month, no capi
tal, and sweiirs to the statement. The
assessor inquires, from curiosity, perhaps.
'how they manage to do the very large
business attributed to the house without
capital. The ready answer is, "We bor
row our capital." The assessor, still cu
rious, says, "How much?" "Five hun
' dred thousand dollars." "Of whom did
you borrow it?" The firm is composed
; of two brothers, named William and
John, and the answer to the question is,
! "The house borrowed $250,000 from
William and,5250,000 from John."

THE
ECONONY BUTTER CO
ash the attention
of all Interested in :he reduc
tion of the extra:ag ant cost of Butter• to tl.tlr
practical and economical system of mahlniz pure
prime Butter by the aid of the
EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLANT.
A brief allusion to_the origin of this inanortant
discovely may rot prove uninteresting. Among'
the anthem cattal-rccords of the reu'ownefl Cap
tain Cook's voyage around the world. Is found
the statement. that while sojourning fora short
time on the Brazilian Coast of South Alperica,
he
observed the natives using, in the preparation of
their food, a Peculiar oil. which. upon exam i "'
tion. he found to possess the appearance, taste
and davorpf Butter: upon further inquiry, how
ever, lie ascertained that it was simply a iub
'stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner, from a rich and luxuriant
phtut that grew spontaneously and abundantly in
that warns tropical country. A few 3eii rs ago,
an eminent French chemist, while on a Profes
sional visit to the tropics, made numerous caper-
iments with this remarkable production of na
ture. and succeeded in extracting a concentrated
essence of the plant. The formula for its prepa
ration, and the Sole Right for its sale in this
country arc the exclasive property of this• Cora,
patty, by whom It was purchased from the origi•
nal discoverer. We claim for this remarkable,
yet simple and perfectly harmless preparation-
Isl.-That by its use a net gain,of from 50 to 200
per cent. is made In the manufacture of Butter.
2d.-That Butter, which from age or whatever
eau-e, may be strong. rancid, streaked or
coarse-grained, and comparatively useless for
general use, by the aid of this Extract. is re- BURNELVS 1111LISEUM
stored to its original freshness and BiTettnesS, '—
fine-grain, and even color. ' AND renLon MENAGERIE,

delicious, fresih Butter is actually made fromhe Great Family Itesorte.
one pint of milk.
4th.-That a pure and excellent table Butter can
be made, at a cost of from 15 to 20 c uts per
pound. The chief expense wherein being But
ter, which is the essential t•ase. ,
sth.-That Butter manufactured by, the aid of
this Extractds equal in every respect to the beet
Butter made by the Ordinary method.
6th.-The Extract after thorough analysis, by
able chemists, is pronounced perfectly free frem
any deleterious substance, the ingredients be
ing purely of aLycgetable nature.
8111.-in proof of the foregoing assertions. the
factory of this company Is matfug one ton

Butter per day, which meets with ready sale
in the - New York )Irrket. and is consumed from
the tables of the first Hotels., liestaurants and
