nar A sharp Utica butcher made SEN
ator Campbell a private offer of s12 for a
fine looking calf five months old, on the
day Of the great sale. The butcher was
smilingly informed that the animal was
on the auction list, and he could have
an opportunity of purchasing her when
she came to the block. That worthy
individual was perfectly speechless with
astonishment and surprise when the
auctioneer knocked his pet down to Mr..
Alexander, of Kentucky, for $27 900.
She was Dutchess of Oneida, and the
"golden cali" of the sale. Another
butcher present spied handsome tod
dler of a week old, of which he was
willing to pay to relieve the mother a
dollar and half. 1t is needless to say
that he participated in his brother ca,
terers sentiments when the wee thing
was sold for $13, 900.

RA Even the most casual r

s0- Even the most casual magazine
reader must have noticed the remarka-
BILE increase Of feminine authors within
the past ten years. Especially in the
domain of poetry has the female hand
usurped the place so long almost ex-
clusively occupied by that of man, un-
til nowadays one can hardly take up q
literary periodical that does not exhibit
striking preponderance of women
among its contributors of verse. Three
of the four poems in the last atlantic are
by women-and the other may be as
we'll, for the initials of the author alone
are given-while, for several months
past, the other magazines have been but
little behind the atlantic in their par
tiality for feminine pens. Those men
who strive to get living by working in
the higher departments of literature,
must view this gradually increasing
monopoly of their field of labor by the
gentle sex with feelings akin to dismay.
Soon apparently they will find no choice
between emigration to England, where
the masculine mind still controls the
magazine supply, and the relinquish-
ment of the quill for some heavier in
strument of toll.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.

A Boston calamity has brought into
prominence an invention which has
been tried with great success in Chica-
go. It consists of an iron shaft, ex-
tending either over single window
or the entire length of the building
or on oil sides, as may be desired and
secreted in the cornice, entirely hidden
from view. Upon the shaft are coiled
flexible wire rope ladders, of sufficient
length to reach to the ground. In this
drum, upon which the ladders are coiled,
is sheave, through which passes sim
gle wire rope, with hooks at each end,
which unfolds with the ladder, both
ends reaching the ground. To operate
this machinery, box similar to the fire
alarm boxes, is placed in any part of
the building on the outside, where
policeman can have access fire alarm
box keys fitting their boxes), or in the
Office Of hotel. When an alarm of
fire is given, the box is opened the lever
presenting itself is pulled. This releas-
es the break that holds the shaft, and
the ladders descend slowly in front of
every window in that house; so that in
case of fire the occupant of room
in the eightb-story of building may
step from his window on to the ladder,
with his back to thu wall, and descend
in safety to the ground. The fire de-
partment arrives upon the ground; one
end of the wire rope is hooked to the
hose and the other to the hose cart, and
in less than five minutes time the hose
is on top of the house; the fremen as
cend the ladder to the roof, or to either
story, as the case may require, and play
their stream on the fire, without waste
of time or water. And this may be
done from the outside of the building,
without opening a door or window on
the ground floor. The ladder remains
intact and serviceable as long as the
walls stand. For saving life and valu-
ables this machine is especially adapted.
AS the ladder and shaft will sustain a
weight of from 900 to SO, 900 pounds,
anything from piano to the smallest
article can be lowered upon it. In no.
tells, or buildings occupied for Offices or
sleeping rooms, a stout web strap is
provided to be strapped around the
breast or under the arms of an invalid
or timid person, unwilling to descend
the ladder, to which is fastened one of
the hooks in the end of the hose ele-
vator, while the other is held and con-
trolled by parties on the ground below.

How MIRRoRs ARE SI1vERED.-The fol

How MIRRoRs ARE SLvERED.-The fol-
lowing description of " silvering" plate
glass for mirrors is mainly founded
upon the method pursued at St. Goblin
and Ravehead. After polishing each
glass tablet intended to make looking
glass, is silvered, or more correctly,
coated on one side with an amalgam of
tin. In the preparation of this ANAL
gam tin foil is used, but it must be
beaten from the finest tin, and possess
a surface similar to that of polished sill
yer. The art of silverinS is simple, and
mersH requires dexterity. The glass
plate having been thoroughly cleansed
from all grease and dirt with putty
powder and wood ash, the workmen
proceed to lay sheet of tinfoil smooth
ly upon the table, carefully pressing out
with cloth dapper all wrinkles and
places likely to form air bubbles. He
spreads over it a quantity of mercury
taking care that all parts are equally
covered, and then the glass plate is
pushed gently on to the surface, COM
mencing at one edge. The glass is al
lowed to remain twenty-four hours. It
is then removed to wooden incline,
similar to a reading desk, to allow of the
excess of mercury to drain off. As the
amalgam gradually sets, the incline is
increased, till finally the plate reaches
the perpendicular, when the process is
finished, and the mirror removed to the
store room.

The Little Lady.

was stopping at the Hotel Windsor,
at Rue de Rivola, Paris.
One morning was smoking in the
colonnade, when a tall, handsomely
dressed gentleman asked permission to
light his cigar by mine. I saw at once
that he was Frenchman, although his
English" was nearly perfect.
"Haveyou heard the news ?" he in
quired.
"No."
Is it possible? Why, all Paris is
alive with it at this moment"
What has happened?"
The Countess de Marville, the fair
est of the fair, was found murdered in
her bed last night, her bureau broken
open and ten thousand francs missing
from it. 1t was terrible? The brute
who did the deed effected his entrance
through the window of her chamber,
near which, unfortunately, was tall
tee planted by the distinguished grand
father of the Countess years ago. Lit.
tie did he imagine what terrible use
would be made of it,"
This is bad news. How any man
could harm women thus in cold blood
is more than I can imagine"
"Ah, Monsieur, you had ever seen
the Countess you would wonder still
more. She was beautiful-beautiful as
an angel" he added, stroking his
whiske1s with an unmistakable air OF
vanity-"I knew her WELL"
"Indeed."
"Oh, yes. There are in Paris few
popular women unknown to me-"
His manner now was decidedly con-
ceited, and I felt disguised. My cold.
ness evidently repelled him, for he soon
left me.
Afterwards I heard from others, &C.
Counts of the late tragedy.
Among the details of the affair was
one which peculiarly impressed me-
and which my first informant had not
spoken of-an oversight, which sur.
prised me, as the occurrence he had
not mentioned was of that kind which
would be most apt to strike the fancy.
Upon the throat of the Countess, the
murderer, in throttling her, had left q
mark from ring he wore-the impres.
sion of chariot wheel with star in
the center.
"This," said my latest informant,
"may lead to the discovery of the mur,
derer. Jean Mosqueau is already Wis.
iting the jewelers. shops to find out
from which and by whom ring with q
chariot-wheel device was purchased.

@ According to Congressional Del.
egate Maginnis Of Montana, the Iudiaii
agents "will take barrel of sugar to
an Indian and get receipt for ten; just
so they will take one sack of -four and
get a receipt for fifty. They will take
300 head Of cattle, march them four
times through the corral. get receipt
for 1 200, give part of them to the
Indians, sell part to white man, and
steal as many back as possible. II is
of no use to complain; they know how
it is themselves. The Government Of

enough. It spends a great deal OF
money for the Indians, who gets very

WHAT IS TERRA Cora But little is
known in this country of terra Gotta,
which abroad enters so largely into Or
namental architecture. In its manu-
facture, clay, flint, glass and fossils
containing phosphate of lime, are pow
dered and mixed with water into paset,
when it is then ground and beaten until
nil air bubbles are expelled. It is then
nodded directly by the artist and burn
ed, having been glazed and tinted to
suit the taste. The material thus
formed is both cheap and durable
Neither heat. cold nor any moisture af-
fects it. Al d there is this further ad-
vantage in its use, it can be nodded by
the artist himself as if it were so much
clay; whereas stone must be cut by the
hand of an intervening workman.
There seems to be no good reason why
terra Gotta should not come into gene
raj use in this country for building pur-
poses. In England it has long been a
favorite material, and it enters largely
into parts of the elegant Albert Memo
rial Hall, as also of the South Kensing-
ton Museum. American architects have
so for had such prejudice against it,
which it is to be hoped will soon yield
before enlightment as to its many admi-
rable qualities.

rows was an inveterate tobacco chSwef;
but as his wife detested the practice and
made home tempestuous and stormy
for him when he INDUCED in the prac-
tice there, he always chewed when away
during the day, and declared to his wife
that he had stopped permanently. But
one evening upon drawing out his hands
kerchief, he accidentally pulled out his
paper of tobacco, and without noticing
it, left it lying on. the Aoor. When
Burrows sat down to tea, his wife walked
in with paper of tobacco in her hand,
and looking Burrows firmly in the eye;
said, Do you know who that belongs

Burrows turned scowling to his eldest
boy and said, with severe voice: I'm

reprobate? What do you mean by
such conduct, you villain! Haven't I
told you often enough to let tobacco

the stern father made grab at the boy,
and dragged him out into the entry and
chastised him with cane. Then Bur;
rows threw the tobacco over the fence,
where he went out and got it in the
morning and enjoyed it through the day.
