John c. Bennett, the man who got up
the first hen show in Boston, is now fan
cy soricuIturist in Iowa, and relates the fol-
lowing incident connected with his first eff
fort to introduce an improved breed Of hogs:
The first lot Of improved hogs which |
brought to Iowa, were Of the famous Mac
kay hogs of Daniel Webster, " ere the best
Of that breed ever imported into America;
and Mr. Webster wrote me at Plymouth,
from Washington, to go to Marshfieid and
select from his best samples to Introduce
into this State, and promptly availed my
self Of his offer With this stock passed
through Van Buren, county on the day OF
the election, and some Of the 'soveregns'
were rather tight and they, as well as the
sober ones, were attracted TO our wagon on
seeing hogs, fowls, ducks, geese, Maltese
cats, &c., all Gagged in the same convey
ance, and as the pigs were rather extra,
one of the tight ones pointed to the cage
of the Mackays, and asked: Where is that
pig fromr.That Pig said l.. 'is from Mr.
Webster's Mars Shield farm WELL said
he, that's about as near as | ever expect to
come tolold Dan, so I'll have kiss and
suting The action to the words, he took the
Mackay pig by the ears, drew it to the front
Stats oi the cage and kissed it -

Items for the Ladies'.

Lady readers, the following hints may
be useful:
Britannia should be first rubbed gently
with woolen cloth and sweet oil, then
washed in warm suds, and rubbed with
soft leather and whiting. Thus treated,
it will retain its beauty to the last.
New Iron should be gradually heated at
first; after it has become Injured with the
heat it is not likely to crack 1t is good
plan to put new earthenware into water and
let it heat gradually until it boils-then
cool again. Brown earthenware, particu-
larly, may be toughened in this way. A
handful of wheat or rye bran, thrown in
while burning, will preserve the glazing,
so that it will not be destroyed by acid or
salt.
Clean brass kettle before using it for
cooking, with salt and vinegar
The oftener carpets are shaken the long
er they will wear. The dirt that collects
under them grinds out the threads.
If you wish to preserve fine teeth always
clean them thoroughly after you have eat
en- your last meal at night.
Woolens should be washed in very hot
suds, and not rinsed. Lukewarm water
shrinks woolen goods.
Never allow ashes to be taken up in
wood, or put into wood.
Always have your matches and lamp
ready for use in case of sudden alarm.
Have important papers all together, where
you can lay your hands on them at once in
case of fire.
Do not wrap knives and forks in wool
ems. Wrap them up in good strong paper
Steel is injured by laying in woolens.
Old bread may be made almost as good
as new by dipping the loaf in cold water,
then putting it in the oven after the bread
is drawn, or in a stove, and let it heat
through.
Tsinglass is a most delicious starch for
fine muslins. When boiling common starch
sprinkle in little fine salt, it will prevent
its sticking,-some use sugar

PRIDE AND FoLLY.-We were once ac-
quainted with a married lady not thous-
and miles from the Mohawk valley, who
was very respectfully connected but in in
dignent circumstances, who was in the con
slant practice of making large pretcnsions
to the gentility other extraction and boast
ing of the intimacy of many of the most
distinguished men of the country with the
family. 1t was her pride to speak Of those
things, and many were the tales she boast
ingly told to the friends and neighbors of
the scenes in high life which she had be-
held and in which she had been a partici-
pant in earlier years.-One day at neigh
borhood party her old theme was again
broached Among other things she spoke
exultingly Of the intimacy that had always
existedbctween her fathers family and the
late Henry Clay, and said that the distin-
guished statesman had frequently dined
with them, at her fathers table. But
while just in the depth of her exultant pride
the company were not little taken aback
and her starched pride "wiltcd," by her
father, an aged and honest old gentleman;
who happened to be present on a visit to
his daughter, and having overheard her
boasting, saying loud enough for all present
to hear, eyes. yes, daughter, but it never
was on my invitation! Mr.. Clay dined
with the gentleman who boarded at our
house." Keeping boarding house was
altogether beneath her ideas Of gcntility.-

LOUIS NApoLEoN.-The Paris cores
pondeut Of the N. o. Picayuno remarks
that although the slow gait of the Emperor
Louis Napoleon, in the Champs Elysees,
is supposed by strangers to be designed
simply to show his subjects how secure he
feels in the midst of them, it is in reality
to allow the select COrsican police who fol-
low him upon both sides of the avenue,
from the Tuilleries to the barrier, to keep
up with him. He also sends notice of his
EQUESTRIAN excursions to the Chief of Pol
ice some hours before they take place, and
probably as manv as hundred policeman,
in plain clothes or blouses, are on the aven-
ue every evening when he rides. The
force who watch over him has been greatly
increased since the rocent.'attcmpt upon his
