NO brothers named Gaf have established
mammoth hennery in Colorado. ten miles
,m Denver. 1t covers about four acres,
hich is laid out like village, with streets
md avenues, along which are built long rows
of houses of various designs. Regular fami-
lies of hens are assigned to these houses, and
It is found that they quickly domesticate
themselves without troubling their neighbors-
The population Of the village is about aOoo,
divided closely into social cliques Of Brahnas,
Cochins Shanghaes and Dorkings, and the
chief products are eggs and spring chickens.
SUNDAYS included, the Industrious niaTons Of
the village turn out daily from forty to fifty
dozens Of eggs, which are sold in Denver for
from thirty to fifty cents dozen. The
brothers Gaff express but single regret and
that is that they did not found their colony
fifteen years ago, when eggs brought s. q
dozen, and spring chicken was worth pen
uyweight Of gold dust.

Catching q Cannon Ball.

A verv singular exhibition was given yes
terlay at the Jardin Mabille. There has
been performing here at the Folies Bergere,
man named Holtum, an American, who has q
cannon fred at him and catches the ball IN
his hacds. This prodigious feat was wit
messed nightly, and although the actors pres
emit avowed that there was no trick. Pierre
Veron, of the Monde Wustre, would not believe
it. He said that >the cannon ball must be
thrown to Holtum from the stage. The latter
made bet of five thousand francs that he
would perform the feat under conditions
which left no room to doubt, and when the
bet was taken, Veron designated Mabllle as
the place for the trial. All the journalists OF
Paris were invited, and they found HOltum
there before his cannon.
It was examined with minute care, and the
heavy ball was passed from hand to hand.
am no longer in my own house, said Holtum;
"you are master here, and you must watch
over ali the arrangements. Having carefully
aimed and dashed its cannon, it was charged,
and Holtum took his place against plank
target some ten yards away. This was to
show that the ball was solid, and the force of
the powder great enough to send it through
the plank. Holtum got the aim Of his gun,
and placed his head in a certain position
against the plank, giving the command to
fire.
The ball just grazed the hair and broke
through the plank, rolling some twenty yards
further on The same ball was picked up by
the journalists, who fgain charged the cannon
and sent home the ball in his hands as neatly
as he does nightly upon the stage. He won
his bet, and no one seemed disposed to accept
his offer of three thousand francs to any one
who would perform the same astounding feat.
The physical force required must be enor-
NOUS but Holtum showed his strength by
tossing up cannon balls as if they were SO
many oranges.
The only precautions taken are very simple;
he wears very thick leather gloves and covers
his breast with many thicknesses of thin
paper to form sort Of cuirass. This looks
to me like very dangerous feat, and particu-
larly the first part Of it, where Holtum places
his head against the target half an inch below
where the ball will probably strike. If the
powder should chance to be defective. some
day there might be an accident. 1t is like
the fool-hardy trick Of outings ones head
into lions mouth. One day fancy that
ball will snap his head very neatly off.-Paris

Famous Kissing.
The Chicago Inter- Ocean says:

The Chicago Inter- Ocean says:
There have been some famous kisses in his
tory and some that have been important il
shaping political events. When Carolina
John Of Lorraine was presented to the Ouch
ess of Savoy, she gave him her hand to kiss
The great churchman was indignant. "I'll
not be treated in this manner" said he. 81
kiss the Queen, my mistress, and shall moi
kiss you. who are only Duchess 2" and de-
gese Princess he kissed her three times square.
" in the mouth. Voltaire was once publicly
kissed by the young and lovely Countess de
Villars, who was compelled to this salute by
the claquers in the pit, who were mad with
enthusiasm over the great writer.
Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, gave
Steele, butcher, a kiss for q vote, and
another lady, equally beautiful. Jane,
Duchess of Gordon, recruited q regiment in
Q similar manner. She was in the habit Of
putting shilling between her teeth, the sum
usually handed recruits to bind the bargain,
and inviting any man who filled the physical
requirements of soldier to take the silver
fiom its place and become one of the famous
Ninety-second.
Said Daniel O'Connell, in securing votes
for his favorite candidates, "Let no woman
salute the man who votes against them OF
course he carried the day. The portrait
painter, Gilbert Stuart, once met a lady in
boston who said to him, II have just seen
your likeness, Mr.. Stuart, and kissed it be-
cause it was so much like you" ''And did it
kiss You in return" said he. "No," replied
the lady. ''Then," returned the gallant
painter, lit was not like me"
Speaking Of kissing, the remarks of the
Sydney Smith on the subject are particularly
pertinent. "We are in favor, says he, ''of q
. certain amount Of shyness when q kiss is
proposed, but it should not be too long, and
when the fair one gives it, let it be admins
tered with warmth and energy; let there be
soul in it. If she close her eyes and sigh
after it, the effect is stronger.
She should be careful not to slobber kiss,
but give it as . humming bird runs his bill
into q honeysuckle-deep but delicate.
There is much virtue in Q kiss when we'll
delivered. We have the memory of one re-
ceived in our youth which lasted us forty
years, and we believe it shall be one of tho
last things We shall think cf when we die.
It will be seen from the above extracts that
kissing is no new-fangled luxury, but is
ancient AMI venerable, coming down from
he fatherA Any attempt therefore, to do
away with it, is plain assault upon our
Liberties and rsscally inRovation that should
not be tolerated,
