TIE RA1nRoAD HoG.-Mr. George G.
Harding, in the Cincinnati Commercial,
draws the following nan nnrfraik.

dE RAlAhOAD aOG.-Nr. GEORGE u.
Harding, in the Cincinnati Commercial,
draws the following pen portrait:
"This seat is taken, SIR" All of the
Commercial readers who have travelled
to any considerable extent are familiar
with this formula. It tells the story of
the railroad hog b. the small. souled,
mean' selfish brute who pays grudgipgly
for one seat, and strains his small wit to
hold two. This particular hog wore a
plug hat, shiny shirt. and closely cropped
iron-grey beard. Iknow his kind. He
is an eminently respectable beast, who
always pays his debts promptly. takes
an interest in Sunday schools, admins
trates his deceased brothers children
out OF their patrimony, is the President
of joint stock companies, and has bio.
graphical eulogies published in the news
papers when he finally kicks the bucket
L knew the hog lied when he said sthis
seat is taken, sir" but T foundbne 'that
was not taken, SIR" and watched him to
see how many times he would reproduce
the falsehood. The coach was rather
full, and, would you believe it, that mi
serable hog told sixteen separate and
distinct lies, in order to crafty his mean
selfishness to have sunk a
healthier soul to perdition. He varied
the formula; one time it was wave of
the hand and a look to the rear of the
car, to indicate that the holder of the
seat had gone for drink Of water, and
would be back soon. Another time, to
the inquiry of o mild-mannered and
timid questioner, he replied by stolid
stare, and then, spreading himself lit.
tie wider, he resumed the perusal of his
newspaper. l was tempted to crawl up
behind him and hiss in his ear, "You're
an awful liar" But had my revenge.
big, red-faced 200-pounder, in dirty
linen coat, came in at O way station.
He was sweaty to fearful degree. His
feet smelt like valerianate of ammonia
and rotten fish. and his breath was q
hot, sinking sirocco, based on bad whis-
key and onions. This fiery and fragrant
behemoth preferred to settle himself in
the seat that was taken. ''This seat is"

take it till the other fellow comes" re-
turned the sweet.smelling heavy weight,
and down he pumped, partially crush
ing the hog in hts descent. The latter
frowned and began to bluster, but the
red-faced ruf1ian soon took that out of
him with threat to swallow him whole
Ito chaw him up and spit him QUITO
pitch him ont of the window-to go
through him like dose of salts-and to
make various other dispositions of him
in case he didn't simmer down. Our
porcine friend simmered, and then the
barbarian grew good humored. He told
funny anecdotes, and poked the hog in
the ribs. He wanted to know where he
came from and where he was going.
he spat quarts of tobacco juice across
him out of the window. spatting his
shirt-front. between his boots, on his
valise. and all around. He offered him
''chaw" every time be took ont his
plug OF navy. The hog perspired freely,
and shivered with disgust. Finally he
orawled out and stood up for forty miles,
until another seat was vacated.

ANOTHER PoIsoN ScANDAL-THE Ao-
TOR MCKEAN BUCHANAN SAID TO HAVE
BEEN MURDERED. The Jackson (Michi-
gan, Citizen gives an account of certain
suspicious circumstances attending the
death OF MoKean Buchanan. It ap-
pears that at the time of his death Mr..
Buchanan was employing as his business
agent man named Kendall, who was
recently in Jackson. The Citizen gives
an account Of an interview with this
man, and re-produces his story of the
death of Mr.. Buchanan. The person
whose name is linked with Mr.. Kendull's
story, in the most unenviable oonnec-
ton, is Miss Gabrielle Mexican, who.
having removed some time since from
Toledo, lived in Jackson with an uncle.
j. Babbitt Brown, where she remained
during one summer, and afterward
accepted an engagement with MIR. Bucha-
nan.
Mr.. Kendall says that short time be-
fore the death of the latter, he (KendnlI)
gave him $40, 900 in Government bonds;
that he died very suddenly, and upon his
death it was found that these bonds had
mysteriously disappeared with the ex-
ceptlon or S000-ieaving no trace be.
hind. Miss Mexican is described as q
very avaricious and ambitious person,
and it is reported of her that she had
said that no mans life should etand be-
tween her and her advancement in
wealth and position. In addition to the
strange disappearance of Mr.. Bucha-
mans money, there were other suspicious
circumstances connected with the affair.
These have been worked up by his
friends. and the result has been, it is
said, the establishment of firm belief
that Mr.. Buchanan was poisoned, and
by Miss Mexican. Mr.. Kendall says that
Buchanan's daughter has caused her
fathers remains to be taken up for the
purpose of subjecting them to chemical
analysis, to find out whether the suspi-
cions are we'll founded.

who walk between the row of plants. AS
it moves forward, the plants between the

the cars, and are caught by series of
metallic fingers which allow the stalk and
leaves to pass, but catch tho boil, break
it from the stalk, carry it to the interior

SINGULAR EATALITY
How an Employee of the Rail
Road Company WAS Killed.

On Sunday morning, last, singu-
lar and fatal accident occurred on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, about six miles west of Bris-
tol. Mr.. w. NJ. Combs, q section boss
in the employ of the Railroad Com
pany, started about o'clock in the
morning, from his residence, mile or
two above Union Depot, to that sta
ton, walking along Side the track
Mr.. Combs daughter was to be bap-
TIED at Union that morning, and he
was on his way TO be present at the
ceremnny. \ freight train which had
been DELAYED at Bristol from the pre-
vious night, started down the road,
and as il neared Mr.. Combs, he sig
nailed the engineer to know if the
train would stop at 4 water tank q few
rods distant. The engineer signalled
that it would and put on brakes Just
at this moment coupling broke and
the train parted. The cnginc anu two
fat cars Lacanlo separated from the re-
maiader of the train, and went rapid
ly ahead. Mr.. Combs evidently in
tended TO get on the train and ride to
Union, for as soon as the engine and
two cars passed by him, he went on
the track and commenced running af-
ter them, all unconscious of the eleven
cars which were rapidly following
Strange as it may appear, Mr. Combs,
though railroad man and familiar
with the customs of the Road, appears
not to have noticed the fact that the
two cars which had passed him could
not have formed the entire freight
train, and that something was wrong.
Nor did he appear lowing to the noise
of the cars ahead Of him. TO have
heard the noise of the approaching
eleven cars, which, ovcrtaking him,
bore him down, and falling under them
he was Immediately killed and the
body horribly Elangled.
The remains were taken to Union,
where an inquest was held and YER
diet of accidental death rendered.
Deceased was widOwcr with several
children, and was about 81 or 40 years
Of age. He was sober and industri-
Gus man and highly esteemed BY all
who knew him.-IreSS d; Herald.
