The Biggest Hog in New York.
From tue New York Sun of Jan. Sd.l


 The porter of leading ship chandler in the routine of his duties, one day last week, calle d at ths tradesmen's National bank, at Reade and Broadway. As he passed out he noticed a piece of yellow paper in the half melting snow, which had been trampled by many feet. He picked it up, and seeing that it was a cheek of some short, slipped into his overcoat pocket, to be examined at leisure. It turned out to be gold check for $230, with the in- dorsement of. The next day when he visited the Bank he showed the paper to the receiving clerk, who at once identified it as the property of. That's the owner" said he, pointing to gentleman who was just pas- sing through the swinging doors run after him and give it to him. :"
 Before the finder could reach the loser, the latter had entered his own office. The porter told his story and handed over the check, expecting perhaps reward, but cer" tainly at the least to be thanked. Mr.-, regarded him with heavy frown, and s;Orm- ed oUs:
 "Uhst do yo1 mean, sir, by retaining this check for twenty four hours; you ought to have returned it to me at once"
 sT did not know what it was; sir" replied the u,an, until cleaned it and as uy masters plscs of business is in Front street and 1 was busy all day, didn't get chance to return it til I came to the bank this morn ing"
 '1ou ought to have left it with the bank, sir. Yop had no business to come to me fishing for reward"
 "Why the bank clerk told me to bring it to you personally" expostulated the porter.
 "Then he's d--d fool, don't want any more words about it. John (tkis was to his clerk), show that man the way out
 'I can fnd it without showing from either him or yoc; snd let me tell you, Mir. -, that you are the biggest hog in New York State fit is Christmas"

Drunken Birds.

The mocking bird ofFIorda is described as a rather dissipate2 character. He forages a bout, singing in his neighbors vineyard wbile he rcbs him, until the berries of the Pride-of- China tree are ripe, and then he proceeds to have regular frolc, acquires habit of in- toxtcation, and gets as drunk as lord. It is curious to see flock of these birds at this tine They become perfectly tipsy, and fly round in the nest comical manner, hiccoughing and staggering just like men mixing up all sorts of songs and interrupting each other in the most impudent manner, without any regard to the politeness, and decorum that usually mark the intercourse of all we'll bred society, whether of birds or men. They will fly about promiscuous!y intrude on domestic
 elation, forget the way home, and get into
 ach others nests and families, just like the lords Of creation, Alter the berries are all gone, and the yearly frolic is over, they look very penitent, make many good resolutions, join the temperance society, and never in- dulga again until the nextseason comes round, and the berries are rip once more.

The difficulty between Secretary Boutwell, and
Commissioner PleaSOntln does not seem to ap-
preach settlement, and those who should know,
confidently predict the withdrawal O Gen. Pleas
Onton from the Revenue Department within the
coming two weeks. Undoubtedly the President
would Prefer that the Secretary and the Com
missioner should arrange the matter between
item, but it would appear that each has taken a
position from which he declines to recede. The
Secretary is naturally indispOSed to bear the re-
spOnsibiities of the different branches of his de-
partment without having some control over them,
and in this he is sustained by the Cabinet
Gen. Pleafqnton, on the other hand, contends
that unless y bureau is independent of the Sec
rotary, he is reduced to the infra dig position Of
clerk TO Mr. Boutwell-a position he declines to
hold. Hence his resignation is looked for speed
i.y. 1t IS noted in this connection that his late
chief clerk, Clifford Thompson, who resigned
under comPulsion lately, continues to occupy
his old desk at the Revenue Department, indi-
eating that he still retains the confidence of the
Commissioner.

Reference was made in the description in Sat
urday's STAR OF the new route to Pittsburgh,
rid Connellsville, to the impetus given to BUSH
ness at Cumberland by the opening of this road
in addition TO its other railroad and canal ia
cilities.
The Cumberland Nslos states that on wednes-
day last there passed through that city on the
Baltimore and Ohio road CO trains, numbering
LAS cars! Over the Pittsburgh and Councils
vile railroad, for the same time, II cars. De-
Hvered to the canal by the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad $50 cars Cloaded with
coal.l Cars delivered in the city by Baltimore
and Ohio railroad 50, making grand total of
2,0S5 cars in one day. The Ners estimates that
when the Pittsburgh and Connellsville road is in
full operation the average number Of cars pass
ing through Cumberland every twenty-four
hours viii be at least three thousand.
Let Us hope that our city will share in these
railroad activities when the Metropolitan road
and the Baltimore and Potomac road are fin
ished.

The grand spontaneous mass meeting of citi-
zens that was to have been held on Capitol Hill
Monday night to protest against the improve
ment bill did not come of. Somebody had been
at the pains to erect a large stand, with ample
accommodations for a crowd larger than could
be accommodated within walls, but at the time
appointed for the meeting less than a dozen were
present, including the knights of the pencil.
Col. Philip did not come forward, but "Gen."
A. Grant appeared, and went through the char
acteristic performance Of calling the meeting to
OTder, nominating chairman, vice presidents
and secretaries, and appointing committees,
after the Bentonan and Philipian style of setting
the ball il motion, :" solitary and alone"
AS stated by US on Monday, the lire men of
that part of the city who signed the call did so
upon the representation TO them that the meet
ing was &c be held TO secure a fajr share of i'm
provements for tina. part of the city, but when
they found that the demonstration was to be
EseG as capital by the opponents Of the District
government, and against the improvement bill'
they concluded to let it alone severely.

The anniYersaryof our National Independence
was never more generally or more decorously
Observed in this District than it was yesterday,
and from the kilograms received here we infer
tat the day was strictly observed throughout
the country. In some of the northern cities
they seem to have made the most of it, by keep
ing holiday ON three days-Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday. In the south too, Independence Day
seems TO be recovering its old standing, previous
to the war, and the celebration this year in
southern cities was not confined to the colored
people. Patriotic Americans abroad were i'm
bued with the spirit OF the day, and there were
baEquets in honor Of the day in London and
Liverpool, at which John Bull and Brother
Jonathan frsternized, the Treaty Of Washington
afOrding a theme for numerous friendly
speeches.

if he continues to live husband with his latest

undertakes to pass Off Mrs. b. No. or as his

ManifestIy he can have no peace in his peculiar
marital relations except by supplying himself
with pocket fun OF bigamy pardons; unless,
indeed, he hies away to Salt Lake City or the

An impression seems to prevail that the
schedule presented by the Board Of Public
Works, in connection with the plan Of improve
ments recommended by them, is part of the
improvement bill. This is a mistake. The
schedule illustrates in general way, as we
understand il, the views of the Board, but forms
10 part Of the bill, and Is capable Of modification
or amendment where shown to be necessary.
The general plan seems to meet universal ap-
Iroval, but there are no doubt points in it sus-
ecPtible Of Improvement, as in all plans Of hu-
nan origin.
