CATCHING A CREASED PIG The Rhode
Island boys, at Camp Sprague, near Wash
ington, 60 the whole hog" on out door
sports, when off duty, the last event being a
Pig race, an account of which we append:
The poor porker, closely shaved and thor
oughly fabricated from snout to tail, was
conveyed to the arena in a covered box
Piteous indeed was the expression of his in
nocent face when, uncaged, he was turned
adrift. Unknowing his destiny, he slowly
stepped from his prison, grunting satisfaction
at release. But with a whoop, ten incarnate
fends rushed madly forward and endeavored
to clutch his prehensile tail. Piggy,::of a
sudden, awoke to realizing sense Of his 20
sition, and darted off, uncertain where to 90,
and emitting the most doleful squeals. He
rushed here, and secuted there, having no
respect for the legs of any one, and routing
people in every direction. The men perspir-
ing, hot and eager, were desperate in the
shase. They grabbed and caught only to
find their efforts futile. No sooner would
the prize appear to be won than it was lost
The difficulty of the capture was enhanced
by its being allowed only to hold the animal
by his unctuous appendage-any other
method being ruled out. The feat appeared
impossible, but one man sublimely rose whose
intellect was adequate to the performance
of the feat. He showed himself to be the
very Napoleon of pig chasers. He scared
supreme at the arduousness of the task, and
watching for an opportunity threw himself
bodily on the victim, and seized the tail be-
tween his teeth. The speaking was terrific,
but was drowned in the shrieks of laughter
that were undoubtedly heard in Washington.
Who got the pig? Why, Marine, of
course.

storm. The water dashed against the side
of the boat crowning her fair head with gilt
tering drops; yet still she stood unheeding,
while not an eye in all that group but gazed
in mingled awe and confidence upon that
delicate form. Once again the spoke of the
wheel slipped from the grasp of him who
held it, but fair jeweled hand arrested its
progress, and stayed the destruction which
otherwise would have followed its swerve
from duty. Onward sped the noble barque,
and when daI Ikness shut the last rock from
our sight, one deafening shout rose high
above the storm for her who had so bravely
guided us through the shadow of death.
Size would receive no thanks for herself,
but bidding us "give thanks to Him whose
voice ever ruleth the Storm" she retired to
her state-room and was lost to view.
Around the cabin-tab that night, about
an hour before we entered the harbor of Mon
treal, we learned her history. She was the
daughter of the merchant who owned the line
of boats, one of which she had just saved
from ruin. Her mother died when she was
a child, and her father had yielded to her
wishes, and allowed her to accompany him
in the boat of which he was captain. By de-
grees she became acquainted with every bend
in that beautiful river, while calm and storm

She was now ON her way to visit some friend
in Quebec, where her father proposed join
ing her to spend the winter.
A gentleman artist sketched her likeness
on leaf of his portforlio as she stood at the
wheel, wrapped in the pilots coat, with the
glass in her hand and her full length por
trait still graces the gallery of fine arts in
Montrael. Many a rough hand grasped the
snowy fingers at parting, and many blessing
crowned that noble head.
A magnificent diamond bracelet, bearing
upon an inside plate the name of the vessel
and date of the occurrence, was presented to
her about week after her arrival in Quebec,
by the passengers who were on board at the
time; while loud and triumphant were the
praises borne to the ears of fond parent of
the noble conduct of that frail but fearless
one who had braved the danger before which
stout hearts and strong forms had quailed
with deadly sickening fear."
And what became of her afterwards ?" /
inquired.
"She married an officer in Quebec. and
her children still live there. One is noble
boy, or rather man now, and ploughs the
ocean in one of the noble battle ships of
England"
