The GreenyilIe m.,) Locomotive
says: I've learn from . reliable source
that MIR. John Calhoun, living short
distance from town, recently killed q
hog, which weighed when alive not far
from $50 pounds, but on cutting his
throat he began 10 bleed, and continued
bleeding until nearly the whele substance
OF his body ran away, insomuch that
there was no mere than, forty pounds
left. And Mr. Calhoun took up what
remained of the carcass with his hands,

TIE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.


Rev. John Hall thas wisely speaks to
young people: There are two ways of
setting up in this life. One is to hegin
where your parents are euding--mag
nificent mansion, splendid furniture, and
an elegant turnout The other is to be-
gina little nearer the point where father
and mother--of blessed memory began.
Yon see. my friend, You can go up SO
easily aud gracefully, il events show it
Would be safe; but it woull be irving
and awkward to come down. And it
costs much now 10 live. And business
fuctuates and health is uncertain ana
temptations from the side of pride are
strong. and many young man who did
not mean to lie extravagant, has been
led along and rather than lace the po
sition and descend manfiliiy. has tried
to keep mp by emhezz!ement and been
called a "swindler.

HDr. J. C. Morris, of Philadelphia,
makes some singular statements respect
ing the use of tobacco. He denies that
it leads to alcoholic excess, and says
that it has always seemed to him 'sto be
in some measure an antidote both to the
effects of alcohol and to the craving for
it in old dipsomapiacs." He also re-
CARDS it as an error TO rank tobacco as
cerebral stimulant, conducting to long
continued mental activity, and afiirms
that sit rather cbtunds general and spe-
cial sensibility, and lowers muscular
power, indisposing for active exertion
