Annette jams.

From small book privately printed
by that able and industrious antiquarian
the late VIM. Jackson Davis, we copy
for our readers the following interesting
account of a lady whose property has
been the cause of great deal of trou-
BILE and discomfort to her descendants
even to the present day:
Annette JAMS was the widow of Do
mimic Bogardus, the first clergyman of
New Amsterdam, who arrived here in
1888. He married this lady some years
after his arrival, she being then called
Roelof Jansen, one of the earliest set
tiers. At the time of her marriage to
Dominic Bogardus, Annette Jams, or
Roelofs, had four children, the issue of
her former marriage, and by the Do
mimic she subsequently had also four
children. The farm about which this
controversy has been 30 long sustained
embraced about sixty-two acres, which
were grantad to Roelof Jansen in the
year 1886. Upon his death it passed to
his widow, and after the marriage with
the Dominic it commonly went by the
name of the Dominie's Bowery. 1t ex-
tended from a line little south of the
present Warren street, northwesterly
about a mile and 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. Dominic
Bogardus embarked on the ship Prin-
cess, on a visit to the fatherland in the
year 1647, and the vessel being cast
away, the dominic, with about eighty
others, perished. The widow continued
her residence in this city, and in 1864
the grant of the farm was confirmed to
her and her heirs by Governor Stuyves-
ant, and subsequently in 1867, after her
death, it was confirmed by the English
government (which had then recently
come into possession of the province), to
her heirs. 1t appears that in 1910 the
vendue master of this city sold by Or
der, and for account of the heirs of An
ma Bogardus, deceased, part of this
property, consisting of land and meadow
lying on the north of Mespath's Kill
(above Canal street, commonly called
Dominie's Hook ; John Sharpe became
the purchaser at 1850 forins Sharpe
afterwards refused to ratify ON accennt
of some alleged flaw in the title, and the
sale was never carried through. In the
following year, VIM. Bogardus, for him
self and brothers. Jan and Jonas, and
two of Annette JAMS sons-in-law, (act-
ing in right of their wives), conveyed
this farm to Colonel Francis 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 share of the pro-
perty. In 17O5, the farm (then called
the Kings FARM was leased by the col
onial authorities to Trinity Church,
which has since remained in possession,
and enjoyed the income of the property,

Art Matters.

To be photographer is one thing to be
an artist is another. 1t is not often that the
gifts and duties characteristic of each of these
professions are found blended in one individ-
ual: The vast majority of photographers,
both in this country and abroad, understand
merely the mechanical part of their business,
and possess neither the soul nor the training
ct the true artist. One of the most signal ex-
ceptions to this rule is to be found illustrated
at the gallery of CAMPBELL g. HEoKER, pho
tographers, No. 46 East Fourteenth street,
Union Square, New York. Examine what
photographs you will there, you will find that
none of them are fat" They are all pic
lures, not mere impressions. The eye and the
hand of the artist are dscernible in the dispo-
sition of the figures in the contrast of light
and shade, and in the many nameless little dc.
chinery into one of art The same remark ap.
plies to the crayon drawings and the ivory
miniatures" GALAXY" January, 1872.

Mr.. Charles w. Hassler's

Success in business is an instance of
what perseverance, intelligence, and in
tegrity may accomplish. Mr.. Hassler
has devoted his personal attention to
the specific branch of the Banking and
Brokerage business relating to Railroad
Bonds, and there is probably no one bet
ter posted than he is in all that apper-
tains to them. His we'll known adver-
tisement, "Rsilroad Bonds-Whether
you wish to buy or sell, write to CHAs
W. HAssLER, No. 7 Wall street, New
York." has attracted attention in all
parts of the country, and largely in
creased his business. Write to him if
you wish anything in his line.-From

Among the enterprises Of the season, very
noticeable one is the Grand Gift 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
railroad engineer. Nay, let us go further than
this, and say that the engineer of any branch
whatever, who has steam boilers under his
control, is person of the greatest importance
to the community. Granting this it must be
admitted that the enterprise referred to, based
upon the educating engineers, is one to which
the public in general should accord its most
earnest aid and accedence. The Musical Car
nival, organized by the Association heretofore
mentioned, is under the immediate control of
the officers of that society, fact which, in it.
self, is sufficient to establish the enterprise as
one in every respect fair and square," 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. s. X. Williams, State Sen
ator, n. Y; A. w. Gilmore, Esq, banker, Chi
cago; N. B. Caswell, Esq, merchant, of Mil
waukee; and Messrs. Pierce and Whaling, ,mer-
chants of the same city.
The interest taken in this Carnival is evil
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 this enterprise,
it can be gathered that editors are satisfied
with regard to the object and organization of
1t, and the names OF the business men who
are acting as agents for the sale of tickets is a
further guarantee for the soundness of the
Grand Musical Carnival of the National En-
gneers' Association, of Milwaukee.
None of the prizes mentioned in the pro-
gramme will be withdrawn, as it is the fixed
purpose of the Association 10 carry out this
scheme to the very letter. G. d. Smith, Esq,
who is President, will give all particulars
respecting the drawing ,-Milaoaaikee Gazette.

Is The Country Prosperous ?

Gen Butler, among other Repub /
can speakers, says the country is en-
joying unexamplcd prosperity. Is
this true? If he owns bunting mill or
any other enterprise the product of
which is protected by very heavy
duty, he may we'll think it is prosper
Gus. No doubt Gen Butler is max
inc money very fast. So are most of
the protected manufacturers, the ma
jionaI bank stockholders. and various
classes IF spectators who grow rich
upon the irredeemable currency and
excessive taxation. The rich are
growing richer, but the poor are grow
inc poorer; and the apparent prosper
ity which keeps labor employed is bas-
ed not upon increasing wealth, but
increasing foreign debt. We are in
creasing our foreign Indebtedness at
the rate Of two hundred millions dol
lars year, after sending abroad our
whole gid and silver product, and all
of our other productions which fore
i IN markets will take. If this is not
conclusive evidence at the country
j. not prosperous. look at our currency
dishonoyed by the government that
issues it, with no effort TO make it
worth what it pretends to be. The
Government calls that dollar which
is really less than nj lety cents, vary
inc in value from day to day, and
from hour to hour, and forces the peo-
pie to call it dollar too in their deal
ings with each other Does that look
like prosperity? 1t is the prosperity
of the bankrupt. whose paper are dis
honorcd, and who is all the time In
crcasin. his Indebtedness, with no
means in view to pay what he owes.
That part Of our debt which the gov
crnmcnt owes to It, own citizens is
not all element of weakness. That
is the secret Of Englands financial
strength under her tremendous debt.
That is what keeps the credit Of France
good through all sorts Of revolutions.
The English debt is owed to English,
men; the French debt to Frcnchmen
but the American debt is now almost
entirely owed to foreigner, besides
hundreds Of millions of debt in Other
forms of secuities--all Of them Great
ing dream Of gold to pay the inter.
est which must amount now to about
one hundred million dollIrs II year
The reduction Of that part OF the pub
| lie debt held at home does not strength
en- the country. 1t weakcns it when
it is reduced by increasing our foreign
Indebtedness. Yetthe financial policy
of the present Administration has
been confined to this one point, the
payment Of the debt not yet matured,
while no attempt has been made to APP
prCciatc the diShonored, overdue prom
ises to pay Of the government. Hence
we say that the apparent prosperity Of
the country is not real, that we art
discounting the profits of future ages,
and rolling up a heavy foreign debt
the payment of wh;ch will trouble us
one Of these days. Boston Heratd
