Boston, Feb. 25. There was a

the arrival on the English steam
ship Huron, from Liverpool, of an
eloping couple, a young English
girl and a young Irish nobleman.
They were met on the wharf by a
Pinkerton detective and the British
consul, who then telegraphed the
girl's father. She refuses to leave
her lover, or to wait at the consul's
house for the arrival of her parent.

is in receipt of an interesting letter
from Everett v arnerof Baltimore re
specting th sword which Washing

bich is in the possession of Henry
Lewis, a grandson of Major George
L:ir, Washington's nephew. This
sword appears as part of Washing
ton's outfit in several portraits, among
them one of Gilbert Stuait's.
Washington Irving describes the
out6t at the inauguration as follows:
He waa clad in a full suit of dark-
brown cloth of American manufac
ture, with steel-hilted sword, white
stocking and ailver shoe buckles.
Arrangements will probably be
made to have the sword here daring

Every farmer who has had exper
ience in underaraining knows that
ous of its chief advantages consists
in the greater warmth imparted to
the SHbsoiL The presence of water
in the soil chills it, and all the more
if it he stagnant, because then little
or no outside air comes in contact
with it. . Farmers say, and truly,
that' uuderdrained soils are "cold.'
By the removal of the water the
warmer air of summer is admitted to
the subsoiL thus increasing its tern

freezes deeper in winter. This great

Mia Widaw Telia afthe Ball tlven la
Mia Har.
Mis. Polk, the venerable widow of
the former President, now tia years
of age, was interviewed by an Nash
ville American reporter. Mie said:
"I see there is doubt in some quar
ters whether President-elect Harri
son should have an Inaugural hal 1.
Well I should say that Mr. Harrison
sh'iuld go right along and do just as
his predecessors have done. 1 ape a k
r . r . .1 t , - .
oi tne iar-away past, mourn, auu t
may be that customs have changed
beyond my knowledge. I cannot
comprehend why or how it is that the
question of dauciug has been raised
in connection with Mr. Harrison's
inauguration. Now, tnere waa
dauciug at the ball tendered to M r.
Polk, it is true, but neither Mr. Polk
nor- myself was -expeced. todat.ee,
and indeed, while tbc President aud '
his suite were present the dancing
ceased.
The inaugural ball of the period
was oesignesl for the people to have
an opiiortunity of a presentation to
the President. The popular kali was
CarusiV. A committee of prominent
cit'zens took charge ef it, and in
ordef to exclude objectionable pei -sons
a id prevent too big a srowd tha
tickets were sold at $10 each. Car
ual's was a large assembly hall. On
this occasion I preceded Mr. Polk
with a party of my friends. As 1
entered the dancing ceased, and 1
proceeded to a raised platform at the
eud of the room here I and my es
cort awaited the President's arrival,
whicn followed shortly. He was ac
companied by a number of gentle
men, They came upon the platform,
the musicians playing the President's
inarch, aud there he held a general
teception. Every oue present who
cared to do so cams forward to be in
troduced. The Presideat then prom
enaded thj rtxim a little while, aud
very soon we left the hall and dancing
was resumed.
"I did not care to associate my re
ligious views upon the subject of
daucing with a gathering of the gen
eral public. I could see no discredit
n it. I did not permit dancing at
t e White House, it is true, because
1 regirded it undignified. But a
public ball and a ball at the White
House, whatever they may be to-ilay,
were at this period very different
affaire indeed. The inauguration bait
was meant for the public, (and the
President was expected to ahow him
self during the evening, as it gave
many persons who could not get near
i.iui at the Capitol ceremonies an op
portunity to shake his hand and et
a near view of the new chief magi
