The Pork Question.-W make the
following extract from the Cincinnati
Price Current of 14th:
"The estimates of the future value
Of hogs and pork are being lowered rap
idly, and those who demanded 81, 90
gross for hogs in August are now will
ling to accept $500 gross; and at this
time there are more sellers than buyers.
Hogs are abundant, and there can he
Ii tie doubt that the number of fat hogs
now in the possession of farmers, rea-
dy for market, is much larger than it
has been for many years, so that as soon
as the weather becomes cool enough
the supply of fat hogs will be large
Dealers in pork have been so much ac-
customed TO extreme high prices, that
there is danger that what they may
deem low prices the coming season
will in reality prove high prices, so
that great caution is necessary to pre-
vent losses.u
We see also that in the neighbor-
hood of Knoxville the number of hogs
now fattening is fully double what l.;
was last year.

Several gentlemen iu Paris, whose wives

played their spouses the following little
trick.
A lawyer, whom they had engaged tor
this purpose, called at their houses i'll thoir

the visitor insisted on seeing her. So she
was obliged to meet the lawyer, who very
politely handed her stamped paper. The
lady read it in surprise and returned it very
pale. The lawyer left her. What did the
paper contain? An application for a d.
vorce on the part Of the husband, The Ia.

her husband came home from his Office.
My friend, what is the meaning of this

Two measures are rapidly passing through
the Louisiana Legislature, having for their
object ito consolidate and provide for the
government of the City of New-Orleans,"
and TO extend the limits and to change the
" bOundaries,r so as ito consolidate the
" cities of NcwOrleans and Jefferson The
near prospect of the end of the local
government of Jefferson City seems to
have prompted lis officials to make hay
"whe the sun Shines Their methods were
not exactly novel, though ingenious. The
Jefferson City Council held secret session
to authorize the issue of city warrants to
considerably larger extent than any known
necessity required. On the next Saturday they
proceeded to create the necessity by passing
ordinances for sundry street jobs This being
done, they directed the Controller of the State
to receive sealed proposals for those contracts
on the Monday following-that is, Sunday only
Intervening. Accordingly, at an early hour on
Monday, eth inst, the proposals were handed
to the Controller; but at the same moment a
dispatch came from Gov. Warmoth request
ing the favor of the Controllers company, and
that he would bring the proposals, unopened, with
him. That functonary answered the summons,
and the proposals were opened III the Govern
or's office, where, for that matter, they still re-
main open to inspection. Each envelope was
found to contain douceur of $500 for the
Controller" The rates Of the proposals were
left blank, or written in lead pencil. The style,
it will be noticed, was little crude. for want
of practice, but the performance itself was not
unworthy of the Tammany Ring. The news
papers of New Orleans are engaged in lively
dispute over the merits of the exposure which
is ascribed to Gov. Warmoth. 1t is alleged
that he assisted the appointment of these
Councilmen and has deserted his friends.
But the real point of interest is, how did he
know about this lthe job and the lined en-
yelopeS
