The Melancholy Life and Tragical Death OF
an Afflicted Hog.

On the farm of George Reems, near
Greenbrier, Tenn, porker now lies in
his grave, whose melancholy life and
tragical death have excited the curiosity
and wonder of all lovers of astonishing
stories. In February he began to quarrel
with all the other hogs on the place, re-
fusing to let them feed out Of the same
trough. He finally drove them out Of
the pen altogether. q. At about this time
he began to swell, and soon was of size
which may properly be called enormous.
On one occasion he chased a dog for
half an hour, and three or four negro
men aver that they have seen him fire.

and charming birds; on which, they say,
he has feasted ever since the season came
on. About two weeks ago he became
dangerously ferocious, bowling night and
day like bull, and wallowng constantly
in the water. On the 10th inst. he was
found dead near the farm spring A
Greenbrier doctor who had heard of the
strange freaks of the dead hog, cut him
open, and found-wonderful to relate-a
live snake, three feet long and as thick
as a mans wrist. The stomach appeared
to be terribly inaamed, and modification
ensued Immediately after the parts were
exposed. The snake has been preserved
in alcohol, and will be sent to the medi-
cal faculty at Nashville for examination.

Ladv Jersev and Lord BYRON.

She alone, with her husband constantly
by her side, could with propriety offer
an asylum TO Lord Byron when every
other door was closed against him. Dur
ing the years of l8l4-l5 he found hos
pitable shelter at Middleton Park, where
he passed the greater part of that dark
period in seclusion, brooding over his
wrongs, whether real or imaginary.
When the evil spirit domineered, he
hated the sight Of a human being
Avoiding all communication with the
family, he at those times remained shut
up in his room during the day, living on
hard biscuits and water. In the dead of
night, when every soul was asleep, he
would leave the house, and rush through
the adjoining wood until daylight and
the early lsborers appeared, when he
would creep back into his room, hag-
gard and wornout
Neither Lord nor Lady Jersey inter
fered with the unhappy man, whose state
of mind was at that time bordering on
insanity. They pitied him, and received
him with great kindness whenever he
chose to Join them at dinner This he
would do now and then, when less ex-
cited, especially when a certain neigh
boring lord, a reputed hari drinker, was
expected. Lord Byron, who had been
living like an anehorite for perhaps a
month past, or even longer, would then
lay a wager to drink Lord c. under
the table, a feat which he invariably
accomplished. CoOlly walking off to bed,
he then left to the servants the task Of
conveying the drunken man to bis room
no easy task, his ,Lordship getting, as
n rule, so hopelessly drunk as TO reel

bullets, tomahawks and scalping knives;
and hence they are practicing this cruel
deceit on the deluded, credulous negroes.
They get them to come to Memphis by
hundreds and thousands from Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee, and tell them
it is to- vote for their freedom, though
the lying knaves know that their prime
object is to entrap the negroes, first to
register, and then to vote. With this
evidence against them, there is no escape
for the poor, deluded "sons Of Ham, "
who, by tens of thousands, will find
graves on the Indian plains Of the West.
Should they deny their voting, it would
be useless, for the record is against them.
There stand their names given as voters I;
and the next thing are good fighters, too.
If Memphis can furnish six thousand
negro voters on the day OF election, at
least four thousand of them will be in
the United States army before Christmas,

much need their labor. When will they
