Anglomania and the Rage Foreign Titles. for Sfea Baglaatag of American "Nobility" Irogtan i Baakaaty, and Its Ig aoaal&toat Maturity at a For eign Goart In this country wo have no aristocracy, according to the European acceptation of the word, and what is more, we do uot desire to create one. The reward which genius and labor bring to the eons and daughters of this Republic are sufficient for all who stand up for true Americanism. It is amusing to watch the efforts which arc made by some of our young swells to imitate the manners and eccen tricities of English people who move in high society. Anglomania, as this mild form of idiocy is called, has of late years taken possession of a Jarge por tion of our dude population, and if this class of brainless, faultlessly-attired youths could have their way an Amer ican aristocracy would quickly become a social entity. A few days ago your representative encountered a would-be American nobleman, walking in the street, with Ms trousers? tucked up and an open umbrella over his head, although the flagged sideway was scrupulously clean. And there was not a cloud visible in the -sky. "Hello," said the scribe, addressing the Anglo-American dude, "what's up now, Charley? Tho sun it not so hot that you need carry an open parasol?" Aw. my dear boy,' languidly replied the swell, "you really can not under stand it, but 'tis beastly weather." "Why, on tho contrary, 'tis delight ful. A Jincr day I have not experienced this year." m wcald-be aristocratic sat at Washiag ton,, bat it weald . scaadalise a good America to hear this tobriquet ased ia and about the White House ia all aeri ousness and evideatgood taith. it fa aaid that in Bostoa no one can claim to be an aristocrat whose grand father plied tiie humble avocation of a green-grocer; iv New York one must be able to trace one's descent from the Knickerbockers, and in Virginia from Pocahontas before admittance can be gained to tbe receptions of the first families. If we carefully examine the genealogies of most of our "first fam ilies" we shall see that they spring from a simple, hardworking stock who did not consider the humblest labor undig nified so long as it brought them an honest recompense. If one wishes to give expression to the antiquity of any English family line 'tis usual to say of the ancestor that he came over with the Conqueror; in Amer ica the strongest patent of nobility seems to be that one's ancestors came over in the "Mayflower." Many aproud American millionaire, whose family tree can prove beyond disputing that the founder of the house was one of the Pilgrim Fathers, owes his name and the foundation of his present great wealth to the hard toils and indomitable per severance of some poor German or Irish outcast, who crossed over to this country in the slow old leaky sailing craft which braved the terrors of the Atlantic in the beginning of the last century, family trees are not dithcult HwmWafa? " Wad0T' bUt thUh W I construct as may be desired. As men crow rich it is onlv reason able to suppose that their uninterrupted leisure and the facility afforded them of gratifying every desire will lead them into a search after empty titles. There are not fewer tban one hundred full fledged American noblemen at present in Europe, and the number is being gradually increased by the purchase of foreign patents of nobility. The Duke de Canipo Selice, at present residing in Paris, is nothing more than a smart New Yorker who made his money in sewing machines. His wife Madame la Duchesse isaverybeautiful and tal ented lady, and at her receptions when ever any of our other American "aristo crats" are invited, the ducal coronet is certain to be trotted out The title is an Italian one, and is said to have cost its owner $250,000. There is an old saying: "A fool and his money are soon parted.1' t iwiF 1 1 fll " va ySun ti I m 1 lit 1 U5JSiiaAfcJ l LuW&JsM aw XZ 'l!Si.fO&.

The toilers, who work unceas ingly day after day, and sometimes far into the 'silent watches of the night" know well who are America's noble men.

It may horrify some of our "shoddy" aristocracy to hear that the great fort unes which many of them to-day inherit were buik up in the low gin-mill in some wild mining district of the far West The elegantly-attired grandson of the original gin-mill proprietor has long since forgotton the doughty deeds performed byhta ancestor when ""he got the drop" on some wild rowdy who had sworn to rob the bar.

SHODDY "ARISTOCRACY" ON ITS TRAVELS FOR "NOBILITY." A New York lady, well known in cer tain circles, tbe widow of a wealthy Cu ban, and who afterwards married the old Scotch Earl of Caithness, is now the Duchess di Pompar. It would seem that the family title, Caithness, was not pompous enough for this Ameri can, nnd as her son insisted upon a dukedom, she crossed over to Rome and paid her hard cash down for a brace of titles. Her son is now known in fash ionable circles as the Duke di Pompar. Italy seems to be a kind of Eldorado for tho title-loving citizens of America. Nor is the craze entirely confined to the male dudes, as unfortunately the youth ana ocauiy oi our sweet societ rose buds have an almost unquenchable longing for an Italian title, and its meat accompaniment a palace by the Lake of Como. A list of some of the rich American girls who have allied them selves to penniless Italian Counts and Princes would go a good way to a new cilition dc luxe of the "American peer ago." The leading names which now occur to the writer are Miss Mackay, now the Princess Colonna: Miss Field, Princess Vicarara Cenci; Miss Broad wood, Princess Ruspoli; Miss Kinney, Countess Gianotti; Miss Fisher. Count ess Gherardesca; Miss Roberts, Countess Galli; Miss Fry, Marchesa Torregiani; Miss Lewis. Countess Barbolint Am'adel; Miss Gillindcr, Marchesa di San Mar zano, and Miss Hungerford, the Count ess Telfener. We wonder if thcs3 haughty Ameri can princesses and countesses would like to have their attention drawn to their husbands' compatriots, who, with crook in hand, skip from ash barrel to ash barrel on all our sidewalks, like the bee tasting the sweet flower when it un closes its sleepy petals to the first rays of tho morning sun. One of the Italian comic journals, commenting on the rage for titled alli auces evinced by our American girls, puts tbe following sarcastic saying into the mouths of two fiithv lazzaroni: Father: "What shall we do with our good-for-nothing son?" Mother: "Wny, make him assume his grandfathers title of Conte de Stracci ed Ossl" (Count Rags and Bones.) Father: "Yes; and then he can marry some rich American lad v." ,- Vn,?.,cV!a,Ko1 toe Astor and the A andcrbilt families be it s:d. thevhave not sought any stupid alliances" with foreign noblemen, but contented them selves intermarrying with native-born Americans.

When once the young American who inherits money and property begins to study the British peerage, you may de pend unon it all veneration for good old Uncle Sam is beginning to ooze out at his finger ends. The ease and rapidity with which we cau travel nowadays, suggests at once a grand tour of the European continent, and it is here that the young American becomes perverted and learns to bow down to the false gods of an effete monarchical system. If you have ever noticed the Anglo American dude in mid-ocean, it must have caused you no small amount of pleasure, albeit tinged with some meas ure of disgust, that a man should low er himself to copy the aristocratic man ners of another nationality, and not succeed in that attempt beyond mak ing himself a mark for ungraceful com ment. A singfe eye-glass is the first article mounted by the American dude when he would wish to pose as an English man. See him with it most excruciat ingly under his eyebrow, as he leans or lolls about the promenade to one of the ocean liners, and lisps or mumbles out some drawling sentences to an' of the ladies of his acquaintance whom he may pass by. Then, when England has been reached and with an incredible amount of labor and sycophancy he has suc ceeded in worming himself into, what ho styles, high society, his methods and manners are alike vile travesties on the wonted grace of high-bred English gen tleman, and .his great wealth alone saves him from contempt and insult. But it is when on his knees to some bewhiskered Italian Prince or Poten tate, receiving from his hand the dearly-purchased patent of his new nobility, that our ci-devant American dude is seen in his most appropriate attitude. Bow down, degenerate son of a mighty Nation of intelligent toilers, you are but the drone in the ffreat hive" of this busy wo? Id, and have never worked for the honey which you now sip and feed on. America can easily afford to forget you in her fifty millions of free and indceudcnt citizens. England is a great Nation which, for centuries, has developed all the arts of peace and refinement, but this fact alone should not make us slavishly accept ever English method. Cur country is a young one, yet its brief his tory is not uneventful, and it has before it a glorious future. Why, then, should we have our young gentlemen dudes copying Englisli dress and man ners, our rose-bud debutantes forgetting the old American custom of clothing the body with becoming modesty and not shocking us with the sight of the for eign imported custom of naked arms, and gowns so extremely decollete as to be an offense against good taste and manners.

If a farmer were asked why he hoed or cultivated his crops, such as corn, potatoes, beans, roots, etc, he would in nine out of ten cases say it was done for the purpose of destroying weeds. In this he would be quite right as to the purpose most frequently intended, bnt altogether wrong as to "the real effect produced by the working of thu soiL For if there were no weeds, and tbe soil were perfectly clean and free from them, cultivation of all these crops would be indispensable for their prodt able growth. It is a great mistake made by American farmers universally, and English and European farmers tor the greater part, that every croj ven the small grains is not as well worked as are corn and the various root crop', for those crops need the benefits which accrue from frequent stirring of the soil quite as much as the?e do, and where the small grains are cultivated in a methodical manner the yields are as largely increased as are those of corn and other so-called hoed crops. Wheat rarely yields thirty bushels an acre un der the usual svstem of cultivation, but has produced more than twice as much most too horrible to repeat. .L t 1 I . - i I . 11 nuuu uuuu M;urai unies in me earner stages of its growth. Oats have yielded eighty bushels jer acre when drilled in rows twelve inches apart, using only one bushel of seed per acre, and have been worked with a suitably devised horse hoe which stirs the .soil between the rows. Potatoes which have been hoed even third day through the grow ing season have vfeldedsnt the rate of twelve hundred bushels per acre, and corn cultivated every week for eight weeks and then hoed 'by hand until tho corn was glazed has yielded one hun dred bushels nnd over per acre. it is interesting to consider how these results are produced by this frequent stirring of the soil. We have often in these columns mentioned the analogy which exists between the vital functions of animals and plants; how in their sex ual differences, their productive meth ods, their modes of feeding, and their manner of deriving substance from the atmosphere, plants closelv resemble an imals. The fundamental nrincinles of life seem to be similar if not the same for all creatures, animal or vegetable whose life, started by a creator's act, in whatever light we may view the cre ative act, whether by a distinct and singular process, or by gradual evolu tion from a primitive germ, springs into action, exists for a period, and ter minates by the operat'on of the same laws. Thus while animals take food into a stomach where it is digested, pass it into the circulation where it is assimilated and changed into blood, which is kept pure and fitted for con version into tissue by the effcet of the atmosphere inhaled by the lungs, so vegetables take food into their sub stance by the roots and pass it into the circulation, where it is acted upon by the atmosphere and prepared for assim ilation into the cellular tissue. Now, it is known that the greater part of the solid substance of a plant consists of carbon, and the next larger portion is made up of nitrogen. e also know that the atmosphere is the sole source of carbonic acid and of tho nitrogen which originally furnished all organic matter with its "supply, and that it is also largely the source from whence growing plants procure this part of their lood. We have learned, too, that the roots are the feeding Organs of plants, and thee must be supplied from the soil. We begin now to perceive how necessary it is that the soil should not only be made actively absorptive, but tenaciously re tentive of the carbonic acid and the nitrates from which plants derive their subsistence. This, however, cau only be done by making the soil ex tremely porous. A porous body is an active chemical agent; we know thus far; but precisely how much further it may act than our present knowledge indicates we can not telL Porous bodies are such active oxidizing asrent t hat they not only maintain a slow combustion, but actually produce it in manv rases, and Herrera mt tit Fat B rrJ m I'elltlral rriaeaaw. When an accused Nihilist is sentenced to Siberia, his friends "congratulate each other and say that their beloved prisoner was born under a lucky star." And well they may. hard as is the f..te of exiles to "the land of cold and mis ery, of brutal task-masters, ami cruftl punishments," when they think of ! Central Prison where in 1S7S the po litical prisoners enforced a demand to be treated as well as murdereri by re fusing to eat anything whatever until their claim was given retention, a reso lution they maintained for eight days and nights or. worse still, of the famous fortress of Peter and PauL From "Peter and Paul" three letters written in the prisoners' blood have reached the outside world, and Stepniak has held them in his hand. After read ing, one does not wonder that exile and death are eagerly .sought m preference to this imprisonment. The extracts we make tell but little of the story. There are details of outrage, and of enforced life in rells reekiug with corruption, al- llere is a picture of the condemned cells, "real underground vaults, dark at noonday, and infested with loathsomu vermin." ""Jibe small windows are on a level with the river, which overflows them when the Neva rises. Tho thick iron bars of the grating, covered with dirt, shut out mo-t of the little light that else might filter through these holes. If the rays of the sun never enter the cells of the upper t'oor. it may easily be imag ined what darkness reigns below. The walls are molderiug. and dirty water continually drops Irom them. But most terrible are the rats. lu the brick floors large holes have lecn left ojk'U for the rats to pass through. I express myself thus intentiouallv. Nothing would bo easier than to bfock up these holes, anil yet the reiterated demands of the prisoners have always been passed by unnoticed, so that the rats enter by scores, try to climb upon the beds and to bite the prisoners. It is in these hideous dungeons that the con demned to death spend their bust hours. Kvatkovky. PrcsuiakofT and Soukanotr passed their last nights here. At the present moment, amoug others, there is a woman with a little child at her breast This is Jakimova. Night and day she watches over her balm lest ho should bo devoured by the rats."

Then, when we make the sod porous by frequent culti vation and stirring of the surface, we produce a constant circulation of air in it, which effects such changes iu the exist ing organic matter as to make available large quantities of plant food: it also sets free a large quantity of nitrogee which may form combinations as we know it does with mineral matter, and so produces food for plants; it also lilv cratcs large quantities of carbonic acid, of which plants need such a large quan tity. All these facts go to s.iow that were there not a weed in existence we should nevertheless cultivate our crops, and that this process is as requisite for the good of every crop as it is good for a single one.

The patents of the present day com prise almost every conceivable material of which paper can be made, some of them being rather unexpected and not a few being novel to even well-informed persons. The patents cover pajwr made from aloe-fiber, asbestos, which make; an indestructible paper, not to be con sumed by lire; bagging or sacking which makes a coarse wrapping paper. The libers of the banana are also em ployed, which would sngget that per sons who throw the peelings of this - 9 fruit on the pavement might put them to a better use, while over fifty different kinds of bark are employee, bean stalks arc ucd, together with the fibers of the sugar-cane after the juice has been expressed.

Irieil clover has been made use" of in the ?amc direction, making a wrapping pa per, while cotton has been a source of paper for many generations. Paper is made from both linen and flax, as well as from fresh water weeds, for and more than a hnndrVd different kinds of gras-es. Gutta-percha papers have a; teaat the merit of novelty, but piper from tho hair of men and animal would be a still greater curiosity.
