The HarperS.

A writer in the Boston Gazette has
recently visited the celebrated Har-
per's establishment in New York, with
whose most excellent publications our
whole people are no strangers, and
from his letter we take the following:
Hon. James Harper Honorable be-
cause once our Mayors about sew
enty-three years of age, and there is
no youth about the establishment
more active than be- He delights in
a good story, a good listener, and
good joke; and no one can discover
reason why he shouldn't live twenty
years vet; Mr.. John Harper is about
seventy. but not as robust in health as
james. He is the negative clement
in the firm, and commonly yields the
veto power. Mr. Wesley Harper is
gentlemanly and courteous, comfort
ing disappointed author and encour-
aging a promising one With equal
swauyity Mr.. Fletcher Harper is the
active, aggressive spiiit OF the firm,
but with vaulting ambition that new
er overleaps itself 1t is his spirit that
animates and directs the Monthly,
Weekly, and Bazaar Besides the four
members Of the firm, there are nu-
merous sons, making q round dozen
in all. The Harpers resemble Eng
lish firms in the tenacity with which
their employees cling to them. There
is one gray headed octogenariau, who
has been in their employ fifty years.
The foreman of the composing-room
has been with them forty years; the
foreman of the press-room thirty-hve
years, and there are women in the
folding that have been with
them thirty years. Their cashier has
also been in their employ thirty-fve
years. They have made fortunes for
themselves and for others As high
as forty thousand dollars have been
paid in a single year to one author as
his copyright profits Their issues
are from ponderoU5 Greek and Latin
lexicons down to the last new novel in
paper cover, and include every depart
ment Of literature They run forty
Adams steam presses. aud six large
cylinder presses. They have the larg-
est press-room, the largest bindeiy,
and the largest engraving room in Il
country, and all are employed solely
On their own publications"

AngOFa Goats.

As considerable effort is being made
to introduce the Cashmere or Angora
goat into this country, and fabulous
stories have been told as to the value
of their wool, the agricultural reporter
of the Tribune took some pains to as
certain the commercial value of the
wool or hair of this animal, and gives
the following as the result of LIS in
quiries
A company in Ohio is reported to
be selling bucks at $1,000 each, and
agreeing for five years to pay six dol
lars a pound for the wool To aseer-
tain the value of this wool. we have
spent much time in visiting various
houses in this city The following is
the result: Louis FRANKIE, No. 469
Broadway, corner Broom ST., is manu-
featuring muffs, trimmings, &c, from
the Augora goat, and gets his nateri
al from England He attaches no
value to it unless it IS On the skin on
pelt, and pelt is worth about SIS,
but it must be good He had good
many remnants or clippings which he
could not use, and he attempted to
sell them for wool which was Of first
quality, but he could not sell 1t. ever
even though he went to manufactur-
ers in and around Boston. lie had
on hand a very nice fleece, brought
from Egypt to England, and thence
imported, which. after being tanned
and prepared, lie valued at $40, retail
price \ person lin Nebraska had sent
to him to enquire what the wool was
worth, and he took much pains to see
if it could be sold IN this city, but IN
vain. He wrote to England and found
il was worth 20 cents per pound,
greenbacks T. p Howell, No. 50
Beekman street, told us that he is i'm
porting these pelts from England for
fancy mats; that the English have the
monopoly; that the largest come from
Africa, and that frst-class pelt is
now worth ST. Walter Brown & Co,
No 53 Broadway, showed us a small
lot OF the wool, which they received
from st. Louis about two years ago,
but have not been able to sell it. Hol-
lowell 4 Co, No. 80 Broadway. re-
ceiyed larger lot from Robert ".
Scott, Frankfort, Ky, and a part OF
the whole was sold 10 . wig maker
who was badly stuck and wanted to re-
turn it. They have correspondent with
everybody supposed to be dealing in
this wool, but could get no satisfacto-
~ information. Horace Porter, No.
40 Broadway, has paid more atten-
ton TO Cashmere goat wool than anv
ono else in this country He also re-
ceived it from Mr.. Scott, and adver-
tised it for sale in the Economist
without finding buyers He also wrote
to England, sending samples, and was
told it would bring 20 cents pound.
There are no manufacturers in this
country who can use 1t. The quaint
" in this country is so small that 1t
viii not pay to ship. He said that if
be could get 10000 pounds to start
with he would buy it at 80 cents a
pound In conclusion we have these
facts. The Angora or Cashmere goat
is OF no other value than to kill for
tho pel5. which will bring from S15 to
ST. When We add that the animal
is SO unruly that some have been
obliged to cut off his fore legs to keep
him in place, turner's can judge wheth-
er selling them Mt 81 600 per head is a
swindle or no.

INTERESTING REMARKS q conven-
ton Of clergymen, not long since, it
was proposed by one of the members,
after they had dined, that each man
should entertain the company with
some interesting remarks. Among
the rest, one drew upon his fancy and
related a dream. In his dream he
went to heaven, and he described the
golden streets, etc. As he concluded,
one of the divines, who was somewhat
noted for his penurious and money
saving habits, stepped up to the mar
rator and enquired loosely:
Well, did you see anything of me
in your dream o.
Yes, 1 did"

WINDOW PLANTS - Window plants
should not be kept very warm at this
season. They should have all the sun
and air, and as little of the artificial
heat of the room as possible. These
valuable rem a ks apply especii lily to
Mignonette, which Is very impatient
to indoor confinement. Succulents,
such as cacti, are excellent window
plants in this respect, as the dry air
does not affect them. To keep the air
about the plants moist, is one of the
secrets of window-eulture. Some who
have very fine windows well stocked
with fine plants, make glazed cases
with folding doors of them, by which,
when the room is highly heated and
very dry, they can be enclosed in an
atmosphere of their own. In such
cases, ferns and NOSES can be grown
to perfection, and pendent plants in
