For the Palladium.
THE REV. BEDOTT'S PIG.
BIZ J. HENDERSON

BIZ J. y. HENDERSON.
The Rev. Bedott is preacher Of note,
lronic'ly speaking, ! ought to have wrote,)
For as long IS the notes flow into his coat,
He'll preach and I'll blow till he's hoarse !;
On Sundays alone he reveals his phiz,
And as long as hickory pole is,
No smile ever troubled feature of his,
For grave he must be, of course.
Now, Rev. Bedott had pig, young and fat,
But pig that was blind-alas las bat,
With a narrative" long and crooked as that
Which his boss used to tell with Jest;
But piggy As forced to exist without corn
From Saturday eve till Monday morn,
For his master, so straight and pious born,
On the Day of our Lord must rest.
In the pulpit, one day, like sapling OF pine,
He stood in his long tailed blue SO fine.
! And he shouted for more to come forward AID
"jine,'
When the poor, hungry pig heard his voice; ;
And the piggy rushed toward it, visions the

And be entered the church, and he ran up the
aisle,
As if be had come to rejoice.
He grunted and squealed as he came for his
lot,
And he jumped up and down round Rev. Be.
dott,
But, With eyes closed devouuy, Bedott saw
him not,
And thought twas sinner converted
So together the master and pig leaped around
One shouting, one squealing, at every bound
While the people were shocked by the sigh
and the sound,
And all became quite disconcer ted.
The dsacons and elders then set up a yell,
As though in their midst had bursted shell
And loud were the laughter and screams tha
fell
From the lips OF the congregation
Then Betott saw it all, and his countenan C,
soured--
He rushed from tbs church, his piety o'erpow
cred
He killed the darned pig and its carcase de
voured,
Then lived for while on prob ,tinn.

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.

Bathing in the Dead Sea pro-
duces as novel sensation as il
you found yourself suddenly en-
dowed with wings, and emulating
the feats of a tumbler pigeon in
mid air. You become clumsy

cork, the instant you are in its
waters, and arms, legs and body
are apparently endowed with the
strangest qualities. 1t is as if
heavy weights were affixed to each
directly you attempt to move, and
experienced swimmers fail in their
best strokes, by means of the un
natural buoyancy with which they
have to contend. Your limbs are
on the surface, and you cleave the
air with your hands, the moment
you try to swim, and the man who
would be drowned as soon as he
was out of his death in any other
sheet of water in the world is the
one best fitted for bathing in the
Dead Sea. He eau not sink in it.

if he were encased in life belts,
or sprawiing on feather-bed. If
he lean back and throw his feet up,
it is exactly as if he were resting
in a peculiarly well stuffed easy
chair, with a leg-rest to match.
He may fold his arms, turn on one
side, lie fat upon his stomach OR
back, clasp his knees with both
hands, or draw toes and head to-
gether, in the shape the human
body would assume if crammed
hastily into jar with its extrem-
tiles left out. and all with no more
possibility of sinking than if he
were in so much soft sand. Woe

unusual facilities TO stay long IN

Fate OF a Nan who burnt up
Mountain LAX in Fifteen Minutes
A Remarkable Story.
In the Sacramento Daily Union
Of recent date appears the extra
ordinary statement of one Leonidas
Parker, written before his death,
and giving what purports to be the
true account OF his connection with
the murder Of George Summer
field The latter individual had
been known for many years as 'The
Man with u Secret and he met
with horrible death at the age of
seventy years, by being pushed
from the platform of train upon
the Union Pacific Railroad near
the north fork Of the American
river, at place called Cape Horn.
The unfortunate wretch was hurled
downward distance of over one
thousand feet upon the bristling
rocks at the foot of the declivity.
Parker, who was upon the platform
with Summertield at the time Of the
catastrophe, was twice arrested and
tried for the alleged murder, but
was on each occasion mysteriously
acquitted, once by a justice and
the second time by grand jury.
Parker was him self a distin-
guished lawyer of Sacramento, and
was widely respected. He always
remained silent concerning the cir.
cumslances of the imputed crime,
but shortly before his death he
placed in the hands of friend q

give below, the entire story taking

him as Democratic nominee for the Pre-.

elaborate eulogy upon the speech and its
author. A doubt is suggested, never

Possibly, Geneml Sherman might
not like to run against General Grant

The New York Herald, nominating
Gen. .Wm. Teoumseh- Sherman for the
Presidency, says: i +
s, The Southern policy of cancellation
and reconciliation, emaDatiDgs from
General Sherman, is better than the
policy OF the bayonet adopted by Gene
raj Grant. ''Universal amnesty is good,
and "universol amity," we believe, will
follow it. The victorious party in
foreign war can afford to be generous,
and the victorious party in domestic
war ought to be generous. How else,
looking to the South. can we heal the
wounds still left open from the war?
General Sherman, then, Is The proper
mon for the Democratic party. Put him
in the fold and in the front against
General Grant, and not only will the
Union supporters Of the war be divided
between them, but the courtesies OF
brother soldiers will prevail in the cam
palgn between the two parties. The
violent hostilities between the two pnr-
ties and two rnces will disappear in the
South, for, rs many of the bucks will
be drawn to. Sherman and the Demo
Gratis, the bitterness oT the whites
against them will change into better

On the Ku Klux question, Genoral
Sherman will ncutralize the popularity

issues Of the war tho two parties, with
