A PIG is n much abused animal. Every unthink-
ing boy worries-and every urchin throws brick
bats at them-but they go through the world and put
up with every thing with most commendable phil
osophy The gourmand, who boasts ofhis fine taste
and devours pdfeS, sauces, and thousand kinds of
meats, is not whit more luxurious than pig who
lies in the mud and water of a long summers day
and grunts at every one who goes by him. pig
is like politician. There is no hole so narrow or
so dirty that he will not creep through, squeang
Justify all the while, to get mouthfu of corn from
the public crib. They live in filth, and it is a Sec

resemblance. There is animal that makes so
much noise at a trivial mishap-and none that gets
over it and goes off quietly quickly as a pig
The whole business Of their lives is to get fat-and
therein they resemble an alderman They are more
obstinate than a Dutchman, more perverse than a
mulc-and yet there is a laconc brevity about them
in which they have the advantage of editors who
write long articles to let the people know that they

YOU did, you must have observed how the little

back with all his might-and if you had cord to his
neck, it was always about your legs
Almost every animal i'm the world goes out of it
more decently than a pig. He makes as much
noise about it as if his life worth something

Mr., painter. whose fine talents
and genius had gained for him high reputation
was called upon by wealthy but miserly individual
who had just finished splendid building for his
own residence, to execute some fancy piece of pain
ting on the wall of the hall. One side he fancied
he would have the burning of ship Boston, and to
correspond, he would have the capture of the Java
or some battle on the other. The painter sugges-

captain ola vessel himself The scene being fixed
upon the price was the next question-and he
couldn think of paying twenty five dollars for
the job, which the artist reluctantly consented to
take provided it paid in advance as he was then
much in want of money. This was paid on the spot
and the work commenced the next day morning.

NOTES UPON THE FRENCH QUESTION In fhe HnnSe of RenreSenkniipeS.

The House of Representatives sat. on Mon- day night (NIarch ad) till midnight, having commenced it's sitting at 10 o'clock in the morning. Tho whole time was occupied in artuons debate 0n the question of our For. | eign Relations, in which number of Mem. bers engaged. We have only time and means. 1 at this moment. to make the following state.
 ment of the results of the whole prOcredings. The first question taken was upon motion made by Mr. Camhreleng to discharge the Committee of the Whole On the state of the Union from the further consideration of the whole subject, in order to bring it directly nn' der the action of the House: on which the Yeas were l04, the Nays eg.
 The subject being tfus before the House, the question rpcurred on the following Rrso. lutions, moved 0n the 27th February, by Mir. J. 0. Adams. yia:
 Rssctved, That the rights of ciiixens ofhe U. States to indemnity from the Government or France, :iipu: lated hv the treaty. concluded Nt ParR, on tho 4th 0 July, 1881, ought a no event to he sacrificed, nnnn doHe, or impaired hy my consent or acqaesceHce o the Government ot the U. States.

 B. Resolved Tha, no legislative of hostile cNNrncet Or tonueNcv toWNtuN tue eteucu hutiOUs l necessary expedeM at this time.
 NIr. Archer moved to amend these Resolu- tions by striking out the hole of the ResO- lutions. after the word Resolved" and in- sorting in lieu thereof the following:
 Thas in the iusi expectation iha, the Government oi Fsamse will have made, will make, provision ioV carryag ia,o full etec, the Treaty with that Govern menl of the 4h of Jaly 1881, sipalaag inemaiiy Ur claims of our citizens, which this Nation is bound io require; therefore this House deems n~xpedient to adope any measure in relation to that subject. Mr. Waimongh, at this stage of the rro- ceedings, moved to lay the whole subject on the table; which motion was negat'.ed. by Yeas and Nays: Yeas 4s, Nays ie7. The question was then takenon agreeing to the amendment moved by Mir. Archer las be- foral and decided hy n Yeas. t4S Nays. Mr. Adams then modified his first ResoIu- tian s0 as to read as f6llOws:

WOODBURY., IN. ~ July 7.

WA;g Charlottesville are much
gratifed with the indications, in vari.
Gus parts Of the county, Of disposition
in the Wing party to couple the names
of Henry Clay and General Scott as
candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. This would be an
admirable ticket. If there be two men
in the United States who may with
propriety be said to have claims upon
their fellow citizens for support Henry
Clay and General Scott are the men.
Henry Clay, independently of his
acknowledged pre.eminent services 10
Congress in 1912; as diplomatist
in 1914 as Secretary OF State and as
member of the ate-independent
Of all these services, he deserves some
thing for the reproaches, the ISLANDERS
and the unceasing prosecutions with
which he has been assailed. Ibis
friends, indeed, are virtually pledged
to give him another trial for the Pre-.
sidency, after bringing him into the
field to contend against the overwhel-
ming popularity Of Gen Jackson, in
1889.
Of General Scott il may with truth
be said that 40 one Of our Generals
fought more bravely or served his
country more faithfully. His position
did not allow of the use of cotton bags
10 screen himself from danger. He
shared in the danger with his men,
and was severely wounded in battle.
Honor and praise may be bestowed
upon these who have concluded sue
cessful military enterprises, but surely
the wounded are entitled TO the rewards
of,he brave. Besides, the military abil-
tiles of General Scott are not his only
qualifications. His requirements as a
scholar and civilian, render him com.
petent TO Gil the Office Of Vice Presi-
dent with honor and credit to himself
and his country.
With Henry Clay, in the west, as
our candidate for President, and Gem
eral Winfield Scott in the east, for
Vice President, can we not rally the
entire strength Of the Wing party to
rescue the Constitution and Laws;

Funeral Honors to Gen. MarshaN.-
As soon as the intelligence of Gen.
MARsHALL's death was received yes
terday, and that his remains would
leave PHILADELPHIA on Wednesday morn
ing, and reach this city by the Steam
boat, on yesterday evening, the Com
mon Hall met and adopted those
steps for rendering honor to the Corps
of the Illussrious deceased, which may
be seen in another place, and the
General Court Of Virginia, now in ses-
sion, adjourned. Business generally
was suspended.
The remains of the Chief Justice
arrived between three and four O'Clock
attended by distinguished Committee,
consisting Of Judge BALDWIN, Of the
Supreme Court, Messrs. JOHN SER.
GIANT, lNGERsoLL, and PETERS, Of
the Philadelphia disappointed by
,ha Court and Bar of Philadelphia.
They were met at the Union Hotel,
by great and imposing procession Of
Officers of Government, the Clergy,
Citizens, the Military, the Masonic
Brethren, the Corporate Authorities,
&c. and escorted TO the residence of
the deceased. There the service for
the dead, according to the ritual Of the
Episcopal Church, was performed by
the Right Reverend Bishop MOORE, in
O most feeling and fervent manner !;
which concluded, the mortal part Of
JOHN MARSHALL was consigned to the
grave in the New Burying ground. All
men feel the sense Of great national
loss, and all turn their. eyes with solici-
tude to him who is to be called to ill
the place Of the American Hale.-

FOREIGN NEWS.
By the ship Rhone, Capt. Rocket, the
N. Y. Journalof Commerce has received
Paris papers tc the slst Of May inclusive
and Havre to the LIST of June.
Capt. Rocket says that the Report
on the Indemnity Bill was to be made
in the chamber Of Peers on the 4th Of
July, Gan suspicious day, just four
years from the signing Of the Treaty,)
and that the debate would commence
on the Monday following. The general
impression, was that the bill would
pass as it came from the Chamber Of
Deputies, though some supposed that
the conditional clause inserted on
motion of Gen. VaIaze; would be
stricken out.
The question of complying with the
demand ofthe Queen of Spain for an arm
ed Intervention on the part of France,
was still undecided.

B The editors of the National Tntelli-
gencer, in their paper of 18th inst. say
ave consider it fortunate for the
country, under these circumstances,
that Judge White has been brought
forward in the South as an opponent to
the candidate Of the Legitimates, upon
such grounds as will secure him the
votes Of respectable portion of the
original Jackson party, whilst they
will permit the Wings in that portion
ofthe country to vote for him, without
an abandonment Of principle, where
their votes would otherwise count for
nothing against Mr.. VAN BUREN,.
1t must have been well known to Gen. q
Jackson--to Van Buren-to the Kitchen
Cabinet, and to all the managers of THE
PARTY, that there was, and is PARTY in
the south, who would not vote for Mars
tin Van Buren, under any circumstances
but there was, and still is PROBABILITY,
that were Henry Clay candidate. that
this very party would vote for him.
hence we have from the beginning doubt
ed the genuineness of the agency which
gave the first impulse to the act ofbring
ing Judge White into the field. We,
have seen nothing yet, sufficient to do
away the suspicion, that Judge White
has been artfully converted into mere
instrument for the purpose Of drawing off
the vote Of this party from Mr.. Clay if be
should be the national candidate.
