AN HEIREss IN DIsGUIsE.-The St.
Joseph (Mo) Gazette of a recent date re-
lates the following somewhat romantic story
Sometime last fall young lady came to St.
Joseph from the East to spend the winter
with relative. Unassuming, handsome,
graceful and intelligent, she created q most
favorable impression with those who enjoyed
the pleasure of her acquaintance, and formed
an agreeable addition to the social circle in
which she moved. She was remarkably re.
tired and quiet in her manners, and studious-
ly sought to avoid all ostentatious display 10
her apparel, but at the same time exhibited
in her dress the most exquisite taste, and in
her manners the most elegant refinement,
Shortly after the lady's arrival she was call.
ed upon by young gentleman "a resident
of this county,, who had formed her scqusins
lance in the East, and soon thereafter his
visits became frequent and his attentions
marked and devoted. II was noticed as the
friendship Of the two ripened into intimacy,
that the lady began to institute, in very
cautious manner, inquiries for the purpose Of
asceriaiuing whether the gentleman had the
least idea of her history AID condition, and
particularly Of her financial Gfairs. These
inquiries were prosecuted for some time, and
seem to have resulted satisfactorily, AtlsGst,
after courtship Of some months, she COM
mitted her happiness and fortunes to the care
of the gentleman alluded to, and the csls>
bration of the nur'!als were duly recorded in
the early part of the present spring. The
happy couple Immediately started for the
East, and are now residing st the former
home of the bride. And now comes the 50.
quel. The quiet and unassuming young lady
was in reality the pOssessor Of immense
wealth, and the uudOu6ted heiress Of an eS-
tate worth over 81 1000, ,OOO-a fact wholly
unknown at the time even to the gentleman
who had sought her hand and heart. She
had taken this method to test the sincerity
of her admirer, and finding bis heart the truO
gold, had committed unhesitatingly golden
treasure and pure warm heart to bis keep
ing. without even permitting the many gal
lant youths of St. Joseph, to catch the faint
est idea of the glitteriDg prize apparently
within their reach.

A NEW THEoRY-Considerab curiosity
has been excited in Germany by pamphlet
entitled "The Earth to Receive a Second
Moon, at less distance from it than the
present one." As the pamphlet has reached
second edition, we may give short extract
from it. Chapter VI. is headed: "Newest
assertion. The Zodical light is a ring of
gas surrounding the earth, and but few
thousand miles distant from it," while the
previous chapters treat of ge0eralities only.
The author asserts that the said gaseous ring
is no longer burning, but slowly cooling of,
invisible while the sun is below the horizon,
of different density, interrupted by the
shadow ofthe earth, and depending in height
and duration upon the suns distance from
it. Just as the rings of Saturn, as admitted
by all astronomers, having become cold, are
the precursors of moons, he claims the same
result for the so,called Zodiac. The new
moon being comparatively close to the earth,
will cause many partial and total eclipses.
The author thinks that the catastrophe OF
the bursting of the ring may be consum'
mated in our time or that Of our children.
He winds up with the assertion that no
doubt many thousands of years have elapsed
to bring about this approximation but, says
he, experience teaches US that the duration
of pregnancy is a thousand times longer than
the act Of parturition, and this fact he ap-
plies to the forthcoming of the new moon.

The SENSATION OF DRowNING.-A sailor
named George Forbes, who was lost over
board from a scow iu Lake Michigan and
nearly drowned before he was rescued, thus
describes the feelings Inexperienced on the
occasion. We quote from the Detroit Free
Express: l was feeling more courage and
striking out with a will, when sudden
cramp catched me all over, and | could not
do another stroke. l felt like a lump Of
lead. lily head began to spin around, a
great lump rose up in my throat and choked
me, and my eyes closed as if weight had
been hung on the lids. l began to drown
] felt it; then came feeling something like
a Eed-h rod being drawn through my brain.
My head felt like fire. A humming, roaring
noise went through my ears, and my body
felt as light as a feather. The waves car.
ried me about without an effort on my part,
and l leughed-it seemed so curious that
l actually laughed. didn't care to be
picked up-didn't care for Lizzie-only
wanted to float aud drift forever on the rOl>
lers. The water came into my face and
mouth, but ( never tried to keep my head
up. l wouldn't have moved to have been
aboard the scow. dt grew darker and dark
er the old fire feeling came through my
head again. Something clutched me by the
leg aud drew me down. 1 rocked to and
fro, felt a noise like the discharge of a can
non, and then dropped to sleep.
