Catching an Heiress in Kentucky.

About two months since, says the Cincinnati
Commercial, a novel circumstance took place a
few miles back Of Covington, in tho State OF hen-
lucky, the parties having numerous wealthy &C
auaintances in Cincinnati. 1t appears that very
rich old widow lady by the name of NJ
had an only daughter, who was a most beautiful
creature, and could havo commanded the hand OF
the proudost Of kcntucky's sons. but sho strange
to say, loved little gentleman tailor by the name
of p, who had been so fortunate as to WOO
her without her mothers knowledge. AT length
the fact came to tho parents oars. and she for
babe young P her house. fow weeks
after the old lady had occasion to DO absent ono
evening till lato hour; of course tho lovers old
not let such opportunity pass Of spending the
evening together, and when they hoard Mrs.
NJ returning. tho ovcr, not bong able to
escape was put safely into q largo closet On
the entrance Of Mrs. NJ, she having had a
hint from q faithful servant, mado bold to ques-
ton her daughter about the presence OF her low
err, and declaring that no had just Como out OF the
house, This the damsel stoutly denied, but her
mamma would not believe her, and as terrible
punishment, ordered her to DO locked up in the
da rk closet, there TO remain till broad daylight!
On her opening tho closet door next morning.
Mrs. Nj was thunderstruck to behold hcr
daughter asleep in the young taor's arms! 1t
is needless to add that tho mother no longer OPP
posed their union, and that very day the blush
ing girl was united to her honorable lovor. and
thoy arc now enjoying all tho blisses and kisses Of
their romantic honey moon.

Colts Sub-NIarine Battery.

The Secretaries of War and the Navy, to whom
tho subject was referred by the last House OF
Representatives, have arrived at the conclusion
that Colts submarine battery is nothing now;
that he is entitled to neither praise nor reward;
and that he has only availed himself Of Fu,on's
stationary torpedocs and Professor Hare's gal
vanic current. 1t appears from the communica-
ton of the Secretary of the Navy, however, that
all Mr.. Colts labors have not been for nought.
He has received from that department over fif-
teen thousand dollars on his own account, and
over two thousand dollars for experiments-a-
mounting. in all. to upwards of seventeen thou
sand dollars.

Daughters of Liberty.

Tho ladies always cxer, their influence for the
advancement of public happiness; and wo thore-
fore re, olcc when wo find them associatiny for
any public purpose. In New York an assoca-
ton Of ladies has been formed, bearing tho appro-
pirate tito of tho '.Daughtcrs of Liberty.''-
Their object is declared by the American Repub-
ican to be, 'to show that high toned morality and
politics should go together and that our political
s,rifes should bo carried with more fairness
and honesty than they havo been hcretoforc.''-
There is certainly great room for improvement, in
tho mode of conducting political contests, and we
surprised that ladies should desire to hav o
n reform. There is nothing incompatible in
Enlightened morality and politics." though they
are too sci dom found united; but this arises from
the fact. that in appointments to Office morality
is not considered an indispensable qualification.
If tho ladies succeed in changing tho policy
in this respect thcy will accomplish good work,
and we shall have none but moral men placed in
authority.

Cheap Mode of Rearing Hogs.

The Maine Farmer contains account of the
mode in which Mr.. True Remick raised six hogs.
which is worthy of attention. 1t is stated that
tho pigs farrowed in May or Juno, 1913.
Four Of them belonged to litter, and the others
to two other tters. The first summer thew were
kept in n close pom, and fed with skinned milk
and boiled potatoes. In the fall ,hev had run
Of an aero of pasture ground. and through the
succeeding winter they wero kept entirely on
boiled potatoes. On the first Of May last they
were turned into the cow-pasture, with rings in
their noses. While running in the pasture thoy
had forty bushels of potatoes given them. but
had other food till put up to fat,en. Two of
the sows raised pigs-eleven in all. The las.
of September they we're put up.and fed with boiled
potatoes and little milk, but nothing more. The
long, red potatoes were tho kind used, and it is
we'll known that swine are much moro fond of
these than any others. The hogs killed
from the 9th to the 2S.h of January last, and
their averagc weight, dressed. was threo hundred
and ninety-eight pounds-the largest weighed
five hundred & nine,y-eight pounds-the next lar
gest weighed five hundred & thirteen pounds. The
account states that the whole six never ate so
much as three bushels of meal of any kind.

of the French chemists and Psychologists what
would they afterwards say about there being none
