message of cur worthy Chef Magistrate are
SO eminently wise and benefcent as to en-
title their author to some fitting and lasting
monument to perpetuate an act which can
not otherwise than reflect honor and glory
upon his name throughout all eternity;
Therefore be it @ .a
Resolved, That the sum of eleven mills
on the dollar be appropriated cut of the
funds in the hands of the City Treasurer,
for which the city has no other possible use,
for the purpose CT purchasing suitable
grounds, and erecting suitable buildings
thereon, for the education and promotion
of the habits and industries of that most
useful and refined Of all domestic animals,
the hog.
Resolved, That corps of suitable pro-
fessors be engaged, profoundly learned in
the arts ofroOtiag, gsUltirg, wallowing and
other hoggish accomplishments, whose duty
it shall be to instruct the entire hog popula-
ton of the city Ia the finer and more diff
cult branches Of these arts.
Resolved, That it would be unwise and
injudisious TO attempt to instruct these an
finals in any of the brsnches connected with
their self-imposed duties as scaEengers, as it
would be an unjust r. Election upon their
natural powers and capacities in this re-
spect, and might possibly lead the more ig-
norant portion of our people to believe that
they were inferior as scsveDgers to the hui
man race. Such injustice might cause the
hogs to lose their self-reSpect.
Resolved, That suitable hospital accoGl-
modations be provided in said buildings
for the comfort and convenience of such
hogs as may become sick or disabled, and
that sll aged and infrm hogs be provided
with liberal accommodations as to food and
lodging, as a fitting reward for their past
services. - .ss-s
Resolved, That field days be appointed
during cholera and watermelon seasons,
when hogs shall oe allowed to skirmish at
random throughout the city, and that all
good and loyal citizens be required to open
their kitchen doors and back yards that the
intentions of this resolution may be the
more satisfactorily and thoroughly complied
with.

THE Baltimore Gazette relates the follow.
ing incident which Occurrei during one of
the recent Children's Excursion in that
city; Whils the ladies were washing up the
dishes after one of the m .als, a woman,
poorly but deeently clad, was observed
watching them intently and sOnlewh t visit
fully. Her manner led one Of the ladies' to
speak 20 her kindly, and inquire if she
wished anything, "Msdam," she replied,
81 have beeu standing here watching you,
and have been nearly crying. have
never had kind word spoken to me before
by any of you. never believed you cared
for such as me. never passed you but
cursed you in my heart. But can't stand

Some of the Northern railroad C lmpanles
lave adopted an arrangement which has
proven to be great convenience to the pas
sengers. A box containing the rame OF tie
next station is placed at the end of the car.
1t is the duty of the brakemen to change
this as it leaves each station. 1t also states
where they connect with other roads. As
the change is made, bell strikes twice,
which attracts the attention of the passen-
gers, SO that the box always exhibits the
lame of the next station. Thus passen-
gers know the name of the stopping place,
and also if it connects with any other rail-
road.

Tha PreYailing Topic. !

Councilman Snowden, from the second
ward, remarked at the meeting OF the
Board of Common Council yesterday, that
when man stoops so low or becomes SO
indolent that he has to depend upon hogs to
do his scavengering he ought to enclose him
self in pen, get down on al-fours anu do
his own scavengering. This remark pro-
daced considerable laughter. 70.

TIE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONFERENCE.-The
Southern Baptist Convention, which assembled
last Thursday at Mobile, Alabama, was largely
attended by delegates from different Baptist
churches in the South. The Rev. DIR. J. P. Boyce,
of South Carolina, presided over the body. On
Friday the convention discussed the subject of
the renewal of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary from GreenVille, South Carolina, to
Louisville, Kentucky, and resolutions were adopt
ed approving the action Of the Board Of Trustees
in locating the seminary in Louisville when
sufficient endowment of at least $4,000 should
he raised, $500 900 of that amount to be raised In
the State Of Kentucky and the balance in other
States, coupled with another condition, that the
convention recommend the board to raise 500, 900
outside of Kentucky, TO be used for the location
aad endowment of the seminary elsewhere, II
Kentucky did not raise $500, 900.
The report on domestic missions showed that
the board had employed last year fiftynine do
mestics and twenty-seVeu Indian missionaries,
and that the several States which do their own
work, but report through the board, have sixty
five additional missionaries, making one hundred
and ifty-OnS In all. And 10 this number the
missionaries of the State Boards of Virginia,
Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina aud South
CarOllna-none of whom have reported their
work to tho general board although they each
have moro missionaries than the States they have
reported 10. g., Virginia has nearly fifty State

lists of the South sustained last year three hun,

The information we receive from New Mex
leo indicates that the military service in that
region Is in q sadly demOralized condition.
Last year q court martial was in session there
for over Eve months, occupied solely with the
trial Of officers Of the army. Among the cases
tried was one ofa captain charged with crimes
OF fraud, perjury, and rape, and coavicted Of
them all. The first and second lieutenants serv.
ing under this ornament TO the service were
likewise convicted ofperjury and fraud. The
convicts were cashieFed, and that was the end Of
il!
One lieutenant Of cavalry, stationed at one Of
the extreme Southern posts, was accused Of rob-
bing brothe officers hen roost The charge
was not sustained, however, owing, il is said, 10
the fact that the post commander issued instruc
tions TO the enlisted men forbidding them to
give any information on the subject. Another
ottcer at the same post was accused Of having
tempted private soldiers to swear falsely for him
and Of having been guilty Of petty frauds on the
Government Of the most contemplate charac
ter.
One way in which some Of The army officers
stationed on the frontier manage to sWindle the
Government is illustrated by a transaction at
post in New Mexico. The contract price Of
beef at that post was eight cents pound. An
officer who occupied the double place Of acting
commissaFy Of subsistence and acting assistant
post commander and post trader. a partner
ship for a speculation in beef, The way they
managed the thing was very simple. Tbs COM
missary rejected the beefofsred by the contractor
as unfit for use, aud the post commander approx
ed his action. Consequently the whole herd
was condemned after being examined on the
hOoG But the troops could not do without
their ratiOns, and the post trader, who had been
taken into the ring at this point stepped forward
and offered TO supply all the beef required at
twenty-five cents a pound. This liberal offer
was accepted, whereupon the shrcwd trader
bought the herd which had been rejected al
eight cents and sold il to his coniederates for this
Government at twenty-five cents pound.
The same officers are represented as exceed
ingy tyrannical toward the private soldiers
inhicting excessive punishment for triflinl
infractions Of discipline. In such circumstance
it is not strange that desertons are very frequent
And il The truth were known, we fear ihat
would be found that decentralization and tyrann,
on the part Of officers are one Of the chief cause
for the enormous number Of desertions from III
army which are reported every year.-N. Y
