The hog is subject to remarkable
changes of form and character, accord
ing to tho situation in which he is
placed. When the character assume a
certain degree of permanence a breed or
variety is formed; and there is lone of
the domesticatcd animals which more
easily receives the character we desire to
impress upon it. This arises from its
rapid powers of increase, and the con
stancy with which the character of the
parents arc reproduced in the progency.
There is no kind Of live stock that can
be SO easily improved by the breeder,
and so quickly suited to the purposes re-
quired. And the same character of ex-
ternal form indicates III the hog a dispo-
sition to arrive at early maturity OF
muscles and fairness, as in the OK and
sheep. The body is large in proportion
to the limbs, or, in other words, the
limbs are short in proportion to the
body; the cxtremities are free from
coarsness, the chest is broad, and the
trunk round. Possessing these charac.
teristics, the hog eve fails to arrive nj
earlier maturity, and with a smaller
consumption Of food, than when he
possesses n different conformation.

An lmporsan, Fact La Graps Culture.

We would mention a fact which has
come within our observation and expert
ence which, if generally true, is of some
Importance. 1t is this: That the fruit
bud from the base of the last years
cane throws out larger and better de-
veloped grapes than either the first or
second. The grapes from these buds
seem also better favored, and generally
superior to those on the first and sec
ond. In accordance with this hint, We
have adopted the rule Of cutting the
cane at such length rs to leave the third
bud generally, and sometimes the
fourth, when a good strong one, and
then rubbing off the first and second
buds, and leaving third and fourth for
fruit. If the vines are strong and Wig
orous at three years, from two TO three
punches of grapes may be allowed to
manure on each without injury.-Rurai

A dusty, sun-browned stranger stalked into

this yer carpet-bag, for supper, reckon"
The clerk smiled and the countryman and
his corpulent carpet-bag were shown to their
room. Country was somewhat dazed at its
magniAcehce. but he was hungry, and plac-
ing the sctchel on the centre table he drew
forth large chunk of boiled ham, numerous
pieces of cold chicken, several enormous
doughnuts, and halfa-dozen hard-boiled eggs.
He was about to absorb the meagre repast,
into his starving system, when his eve caught
sight of the ''rules for guests tackled upon

came to the last one, ,and read "meals in rooms

ABOUT ALLIGAToRs. All of our allioators.
as well as the crocodiles of the tropics, are
oviparous. They are gregaricus in their hab-
its, although they do not seap to act in con-
cert, in obtaining their prev. During the
winter the alligator remains in state of tor
por, buried generally in the mud of the
marshes and bayous. The first warm weather
restores their suspending vitality. and a few
may then be seen summing themselves on lops
and other floating debris.
They fish principally during the night and
lie in the sunshine half asleep on the snrface
of the water during the day. A splash in the
water, or any slight noise in fact. will instant
ly arouse their attention, and as their cu-iosi-
ty is great they will slowly swim here and
bance.
The whine of puppy seems to excite them
more than acght else; why, cannot tell. for
IL is equally etficacious where dogs have never
previously been and where it were impossible
to suppose the alliyators had ever heard them
The resemblance to the noise or bark of their
young is said TO be the cause; but such reas-
oning Is tliiaclous. as at seasons when their
young no lorSer Dark, they are equally at
trscted by whine. Their ferocity and other
dangerous qualities have been greatly exag-
Grated and overrated. That they are extreme
~ v'racinns is unquestonable; but they gen.
eially contine their ravages to fish and other
small prey. The narrowing tales of families
being devouerd by them are the ''yerfest coin
age OF the brain," and have in reality no ex-
ist,n hatsoever.-Galreston CsrsnGn.

For the iirst sixty years after the Democrstjc
party came into power, it had a great aud
victorious career. But the civil war undid A
great deal OF the past work of the party.
War is always unfavorable to Democraey.
The necessity of putting forth the whole
strength of the country, clothes the govern
msnt with vast prerogatives, and accustoms
the people to acquiescence. The enormous
growth of patronage ard expense, besides its
corrupting tendency, fosters the habit Of
looking up to government as an irresistible,
overshadowing influence against which ID Is
vain for the people to contend. Democracy
was put back whole generation by our four
years war.
1t concludes as follows:
Neither the Farmers Oranges nor the Lib
eral Republicans have been baptized into the
spirit of this high mission. They may prove
valuable nurseries of Democracy, but as vet
they are mere shoots and seedlings. If we
were to descend to their level, Democratic
principles would sool die out; but il the
Democratic party is faithful, the members
of these organizations will more and more
grow into its likeness. The more distinct
they are kept from the Democratic party, the
stronger will be their hold on the classes to
which they make their appeals. If they ara
not identified with us they will have power
full influence in weakening and disintegratlng
the Republican party; but the moment we
should all be melted together in one organi-
zation, every person who left the Republicans
would be forthwith accused, on plausible
grounds, of having gone over to the Demo-
Gratis. Such an amalgamation of the De-
mocracy with its allies would have two bad
effects lit would arrest the dissolution of the
Republican party, and it would let down the
| Democratic spirit of the level of the halfeman-
cipated Republicans. The true thing to do is to
encourage the other organizations. but reso-
| lutely maintain the Democratic standards of
political doctrine; for unless Democracy can
be again made living conviction in the pub
lie mind reforms of the government will new
| er be more than skin-deep.
