A ROMANTIC WEDDING.


The CINCINNATI Gazette thus tells
of how Kentucky hciress put on
boys clothes and ran away with her
sweetheart:
Love will laugh at guardians, as it
ever has at locksmiths. An instance
in proof came under our observation
yesterday. A young girl, between II
and IS years OF age, an orphan, was
sent from Louisville, or near that city.
to CINCINNATI, to be educated ut a
boarding school, and had remained in
the institution for some time. Previ.
Gus to leaving her former home, how.
ever, she had been wooed and won by
II plain young Kentuckian, neither
over-Stylish in personal appearance
or dress, nor yet heavily laden with
gold. stocks, or mortgages. The guar
dian Of the young lady. prominent
citizen of Louisville. was opposed to
the association, and forbade, not cx.
actly the bans. for he had no idea that
matters would reach that climax, but
the attentions Of the young gentle.
man, and posted his ward off TO her
lessons At school.
But "wherc there is q will there is
a way is n remarlSwhich the young
lovers proved the truth OF. The Ken.
tuckian visited the city, and managed
TO obtain communication with his al
.iaNccd, who was closely watched
and guarded, and plan was finally
arranged for eiopement. On Monday
afternoon the lover went 70 we'll
known clothing establishment and
procured q fall suit Of boys clothes,
from cap 10 boots, and sent the bun
die TO the lady's house. Posting him
self at u convenient corner, he soon
had the satisfaction OF seeing her
emerge from the building, unattended.
and admirably disguised in her new
suit. Forthwith, through ME aid OF
friends somewhere, the hearts, wishes
were graiiIied--ttc two made one.
About o'clock in the evening, two
young gentlemen inquired for rooms
1t tue Walnut Street House, and reg
istered their names as ~. W. and
A. X. Dewey, Dekaib, Ill.," were
shown to Il double bedded apart
ment. Mysterious circumstances in
the morning led to IN inquiry by
Judge Sweeney, the landlord, when
Irhc fact was exposed that, MIR. IN. K.
Dewey" was u woman! An expia,
nation followed, and the history OF
the affair WAS given about as we have
related it above, the gentleman giving
his own name. that o.! t he lady and
her guardian, and such references rs
satisfied mine host that it va, IN "o'cr
true tale" of love and elopem"nt
What adds Still greater interest to
the romantic runaway, is the fact that
the young lady is heir to Il large prop
ery in her own right, said to be 1t
least 100000, IS soon rs she arrives
at . legal age. The happy couple lett
hy river yesterday. on II honeymoon
trip, to remain beyond the reach OF
the guardian until the heress shall
arrive at the age Of eighteen, OF
which period she lacks some five OF
.iy months.

LIEUT.. MAuRY thus briefly, but for.


chilly, describes the Gulf Stream:
"There is u river in the ocean. In
the severest drought it meyer fails, and
in the mightiest flood it never over
flows. Its banks and its bottoms are
of cold water, while its current is Of
warm. The Gulf Of Mexico ia its
fountain md its mouth is in the Arc.
tic seas. 1t is the Gulf Stream. There
is in the world no other such majestic
flow Of water. Its current is more
rapid than the Mississippi or the ANA
zon, and its volume more than n thou.
sand times greater. Its waters, as
far out rs coasts Of Carolina, are ofan
Indigo blue. They are so distinctly
marked, that the line of junction with
the common sea water may be traced
by the eye. Often one half OF the
vessel may be perceived floating in
gulf stream water, while the other is
in the common water Of the sea, so
sharp is the line and the want of af.
fnity between these waters; and such,
too, the reluctance, so to speak, on the
part Of those OF the Gulf Stream to
mnglc with the common water Of the
sea"
