Hoas.-Hogs are generally quadru0
ped.
The extreme length of their antiqui-
ty has never been fully discovered; they
existed long time before the food, and
hev existed some time since.
There is a great deal of internal rev.
enue in hog there amt mnch more
waste in them than in oyster.
Even their tails can be worked into
whistles.
Hogs are good, quiet borders, they
alwus eat what is set before 'em and
don't ask any foolish questions.
They never have any diseaze but the
measles, and they never have that but
once once seems to satisfy 'em.
There is a great many breeds amongst
them.
Some are a close corporashun breed,
and again some are built more apart
like hemlock slab.
They used to hav6a breed in New
England, few years ago, which they
called the striped hog breed; this breed
was in high repute with the landlords ;
almost every tavern keeper had one
which he used to show to travellers and
brag on him.
Some are full in the face like town
clock, and some are as long and as lean
as a eowcatcher, with a steel~pointed
nose on to them,
They kan all rute we'll hog which
can't rute well has been made in vain.
They are a short lived animal and
generally die as soon as they get fat.
The hog can be learned great many
cunning things, such as histing the front
gate OF from its hinges, tapping over
the swill barrel, and finding hole in
the fence to get into a cornfeld ; but
there is no length to their memory, it
is awful hard work for them to find the
same hole tew git out, especially if you
are ony ways anxious they should.
Hogs are very contrary, and seldom
drive we'll the way you are going; they
drive most the contrary way. This has
never been fully explained, but speaks
volumes for the hog, BWing,

ADDRESS OF THE Democrat TIC
STATE COMMITTEE.

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE Rooms, J
901 Arch Street,
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August "a, 1868.
To THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Radicals reproduce the stale
slanders of the past, and try to ignore
the grave questions of tie present.
They prate of their loyalty and make
it the excuse for their corruption, their
extravagances and their misrule.
They imagine that you have slept
during three years of their iniquitous
misgovernment, and that you will forget
that taxation oppresses you, that your
commerce languishes, and that your
business is broken up.
They have proven themselves powers
full to destroy and powerJess to restore.
Their only policy is hate, and upon
this they ask new lease of power, for
getful that thinking and a practical
people require them to answer: :
Why is the national debt greater now
than when Lee surrendered, and why
does it still increase !?
What has become of the fifteen hum
dred millions Of dollars they have wrung
from the comforts and necessities of the
people since June, 1865?
Why are more than one hundred
millions of dollars annually wasted on
the unrecons:ructed South, and why is
it not made to yield as much, to relieve
us from taxation, and aid in paying our
debt g?
Why is the white man made the in
ferior of the negro in every Southern
State ?
Why is one class of men totally ex-
empt from taxation whilst all others
groan beneath the load they should aid
in bearing
Why shall the $40 bonds be paid in
gold, when by the express terms of the
contract they were made payable in legal
tender notes
Why is the Constitution violated and
the Union not restored, and why are our
resources wasted, the people oppressed,
the cost of living trebled and our trade
destroyed !?

VANIA:

locality. Go into the strongholds of

head is broad, and moderately high,
and well marked in the perspective re-
gion over the brows the eyes are keen
in their glance though light in hue, and
not naturally keen the nose is good,
strong, straight sort of nose and has
been handsome Iaquiline with sensual
nostrils. The mouth can hardly retain
much of its original form and express
sion. Authority has remolded and
compressed it until it is more like a
seam than a mouth. When he speaks
the words seem to be calmly weighed
by the brain, clipped by the teeth, and
finally squeezed through the left half Of
the almost locked up lips. The jaw is
the one undisguised animal portion Of
the face. 1t is heavy, pupleish in its
fullness of blood, ,,and inclines to take on
the double chin. The throat is thick,
the chest deep, the shoulders broad,
the arms rather short, the legs yeoman'
like in stoutness, and the whole figure
that of a well proportioned large man
nearly six feet in height, who had pass
ed his prime, and commenced to de-
scend little. The predominant express

ness. A profound knowledge Of nature
combined with quick, solid intuitions,

city of intolligently dispatching impor

have placed Brigham Young where he
is, and made his little empire in the
desert one of the wonders of the world
For man of sixty eight he is we'll pre-
served. Hardly gray hair is perceptible
in his head. But when he walks across
the floor there is suggestion of old age,
with its coming fabbiness and want of
supple sinews. His step lacks elasticity
and his complexion tho freshness Of
vigor and ripe robustitude. The Proph-
ct is going down hill. He is no longer
young, nor middle aged. Though he
he has taken two new wives within the
last six months, he has not increased
the number of his offspring for three
years and better. Heber Kimball, who
died at the age Of sixty~eight, leaves a
platoon Of infants en- echelon, all the way
from three months old upward, but
Brigham's youngest is an urchin al
ready in pantaloons, and wise enough to
know its own mother, which for Nor
mon baby, argues no small endowment
of precocious reasoning powers. Three
years ago Bringham married "Amelia," ,"
the vivacious, willtul, and rather homely
daughter of a Salt Lake carpenter.
From the altar she has exerted strange
influence over her august lord, and
though she has born him no child, she
is still his favorite, is most frequently
seen with him in public, and is the OBJ
ject of attentions from him which few
Of his harem have ever known. Two
new wives have succeeded her-one Of
them a widow-but neither of them
have s1pplanted her as the Prophets
dearest.
