Ky., on Oct. 17, 1781, to "Mammy Hnrvoy,"
n negro woman owned by Col. ltarvoy. For
thirteen years Jnno Hnrvoy, who, Ilka most
other negroes, took tho nnmo of her master,
lived nlxiut tho Kentucky plantation. Then
Col. Hnrvoy mndo tip his mind to lenvo Ken

his property reverted to his eldest son, Dr.
Henry Hnrvoy, whom "mnmmy" nffcctlon

Tho cllmnto of MIsKOuri seemed to ngrv
with Jnno Hnrvoy, for hor strength, ngtllty
nnd sturdlnorw lucroiiMl with each mralng

chopjiers In tho woods, baked tho hoo enke,
fetched tho ntcr, mlndetl tho children nnd

never n complaint. John Hnrvoy wns an
other slnve, and a good slnvo ho was, too,
If mnmmy Is to bo Mloved. Jnno was nhout
20 years old when John renllred the first
throbs of n now liorn lovo. Hn was nsslduous
In hU attentions, nnd tho llrst thing she know
John hnd ontcrod her young lifo so thorough
ly nnd completely that sho hnlled with joy
mnssn's jwrmlsslon for her to become John's
wife. Bo ono bright Mny morning sho took
her dusky lover's hand nnd mndo tho vows

in tho shnpo of divers and sovernl pickanin
nies, nnd when John hnd seen his Jnno le

Her widowhood wns of brief duration, for
as sho recalls it, In 1807 sho again lccamo n

seven sons nnd two dnughtots. Tho sons

men with progeny when tho war broko out.
Five of these sons entered tho Union nimy,
and two of them dlod on tho battle Held. Her

jenrs old, went down to visit her, nnd
brought her Uick hoi o to his homo, nt 2,013

years of her exlsteneo sho had nover ridden
on n railroad train, nnd, ns sho oxpressod It,
"I wnr skeereil nt fust, but likeil It tol'nhln

A 1'rccoclons Lover.
According to u Madrid correspondent, a
boy, only 12 yenrs old, found In tho streets of
Madrid a 100 iesuta bank note, and changed
It at a money changer's, dividing tho skj11s
with another loy, 11 yenrs of ngo. Ho then
bought n pistol nnd bullets, and tcgau a
quarrel with his plnymato about u little girl
of li! yenrs of ngo, tho daughter of a well-to-do
grocer, whom ho called his swoethenrt,
and whom ho accused of showing a prefer
ence for his companion. As they wero dis
cussing tho matter they happened to meet
tho girl with her female servant, and tho
older lioy deliberately aimed nt her anil shot
hor dead. Iioth lioys wore sent to Jail; but
despite his comrade's ami the maid servant's
testimony, the accused says tho pistol went
off accidentally. London 01olo.

In n letter to tho present writer In May,
IS75, Btnnloy says:
"Mlrambo has become a bugbear to nil this
land. Mothers still their infants' cries w 1th
hisdreud nnmo; young lnds umuliitohU gieat
deeds, and fan their courage with singing nt
night of his wars, and work themselves to a
delirious frenzy, while tho elders sit under
tho trees In tho village square, nnd converse
In wliUH.rs resectlng tho latest reports
heard of him. Indeed, I shall lx glad when
I have put some broad countries between
ni e:rup and his. Wo will then lo ablo to
travel in greater tmncu, for, wherever wo go,
we are taken for Mlrumho, until long and
tedious explanations ha vo dispelled tho alarm
of tho natives. " F. 0. do Fontaine.

Tho electrical ammunition hoist of Lieut.

paratus is called into play on nil general
quarters' calls, and hoUts projectiles weigh
ing AM) Hjimils from tho IkjUomi of the hutch
to the gun deck in ten seconds. In no In
stance, has the hoist lecu taken down or
given the slightest trouble. The Introduc
tion of tho apparatus was strongly opMsl
by several naval otllcers, but its elllclenoy
has now secured fur It unqualified com
mendation. The hoist is now used on the
