A ReaidsAos Built Entirely Of Iron.

Owensboro can boast the only iron
residence IN the State Of Kentucky.
1t is neither Jail nor prison house, as
might be inferred, but a veritable
habitation, constructed by MASTER
workmen, and built-waIls, floor,
roof, chimney and doors-entirely of
iron and steel. This curious abode
stands, grim and gaunt, on the vacant
lot fronting the levee, where the
stables and warehouses Of Tripplett,
Bacon & Co., stood before they were
destroyed by fire. 1t was formerly
q aportable steam threshcr, minus the
woodwork, and occupies now the
the same position as when 1t stood in
the warehouse. A nomadic steam-
boat rouster, knowa by euphon.
ious name OF Pete," has moved his
bed and wardrobe into the "fire box
Of the boiler and though his dolnicile
boasts no Administer carpets and
folding doors, yet he manages to rest
in his curious quarters with as much
complacency as any lord who dwells
in marble halls. Pete acknowledges
that coat of paint would vastly i'm
prove the exterior Of his castle, but Il
willing to gamble on It that in poin,
of fdurability it cannot be surpassed
The sweet sense of security in lying
down to rest in flre-proof bed, the
proud consciousness OF dreaming
sweet dreams under mis- own vine
and fig tree doubtless compensate:
for all architectural defects of hi'
rust residence, --OtcensJ0r0 M. Il.

yum-yum.


Kissing and being kissed are the ac-
cented words in the screen Of human
life. They are the oasis in the de-
sert, the coral islands in the waste of
waters, strawberries and cream in De-
cember. They are in short the es-
sence of all that is sweet, rapturous
and thrilling. and their effect cannot
be articulated in words, but only
stated in the murmur, "yum-yum."
AS a general proposition it may bead
vanced that everybody has kissed
everybody and rather enjoyed the
thing; but much Of this osculation has
been done in Difference to custom OF
duty rather than to the spontaneous
outpouring ofa peDt up emotion, so to
speak. just imagine divine girl
with real warm blood glowing in
every vein Of her body, and flush oI
health on her beautiful upturned face,
her red lips protruding in the slightest
possible pout, and her whole attitude
meaning expectancy and waiting, and
then fancy how that ripe, tender
mouth would taste when you began to
feed on it, young man, and you will
feel for once that language will
fail you, and you will try to coo.
