Victor Emmanuel is hunting

Victor Emmanuel is hunting
the wild boar in the Alpine val
leys. He generally starts at three
in the morning, mounted on one
of the little Sandman horses, so
surefooted and 80 ardent, and does
net return until nightfall. Some
times he loses his companions and
hunts alone. If siezed with hun
GER, after long excursion, he en-.
tiers the house of the first peasant
he meets, asks for an omelet and
a pot of light wine, and while eat
ing, cOnverses with the host and
the family around him about the
neighbors, the crops, and the pet
ty incidents of the village. His
quality is only known by the price
which he pays for his breakfast.

HOW HE PROVED TT.

1t is the custom in Mexico for
the clergy to require foreigner,
wishing to marry anative, to bring
proof that he is not already a mar
ried man. An American, about
to marry a senorita Of very good
family, was required to furnish
the proof of his being bachelor.
Not finding any of his country
men who knew him sufficiently
well to testify to this fact, he de-
termined TO supply the deficiency
with the oath Of native.
Meeting Mexican in the street
whom he had never seen before,
our countryman proposed to him
that he should swear to his being
unmarried for the consideration or
five dollars. The senior, after a
moments study, said TO the YAM
kee--
"Get down on your hands and
knees and creep about"
Not exactly understanding what
he was at, our friend obeyed, much
to the detriment Of his unmention-
ables. The other parry then told
him that he was all right; that he
would swear that the American
had not married since the time he
! crawled.

A MAD HeG.-About half after

A MAD HeG.-About half after
5 O'Clock yesterday evening a large
hog, weighing $50 pounds. and ev-
identity suffering from hydropho-
bia, made its appearance in Free
mont street, near Townsend, and
created great excitement by is at
tempts to bite number of persons
that were walking on the streets at
that time. The brute attacked four
ladies, and although it tore their
Ore .es and knocked two of tbeil
down, they 81 escaped being Bit
ten. A man named Pierson ives
chased nearly three sqr res by the
hog, and was finally compelled to
take refuge in a dwelling house.
The hog was followed by Officers
Stack, Mcfarland and VESSEL,
and large crowd of people wao
kept in the rear of the officers. Ten
bullets were lodged in the body of
the animal before it fell. The
officers bounced upon the PROSTATE
hog, and before it could regain its
feet Officer Mcfarland cut its
throat with butcher knife. Near
ly one thousand people assembled
around the body, and discus ed
the particulars of the affair with
gusto. The body of the hog was
removed to the Northwestern Po-
lice Station for identification

Pig Pens.

OF the greatest importance is a good
and well constructed pig pen, something
which is often neglected, or not thought
of; for almost every one seems to think
that porker is ever a " hog," and may
wallow ed with
impunity to frost and heat, to snow and
storm, to the burning rays of the sun
and to rain, to foul air, and the infu-
ence of mud, dirt and every kind of
nastness. 1t is a true pig, as such,
has very good and robust constitution,
and can stand many injurious infuen ces
apparently with impunity, to which any
other animal would succumb; but, not
withstanding, pig, although only a
pig, is just as thankful as any other ar :
imal, and in some respects more SC, for
a good. comfortable. clean, dry, warm,
weli-ventilated, and well-littered stable;
and should have it.

Two letters were recently put in
evidence in a breach of promise
casein London, which bear a strong
resemblance to the "chops and to-

and being absent on one occasion,
he wrote her and tenderly advised
her ito take some beer every day,
also that he left her his tooth
brush, which she could use until

lection induced the jury to return
a verdict for the lady; damages

A short time ago at a medical temper
ance meeting in London, DIR. George
Lamb, in the course of q speech, men,
toned the following curious incideat in
hospital practice: "You have not long
to be dressr or house surgeon in any
hospital before you become prac-
tically acquainted with the results OF
drinking upon the persons of the patti
ents who collect there, Yoy will very
soon have brought under your care bro
ken limbs, fractured skulls and disfigured
faces. | remem Der, when it happened,

dresser, woman came into the casualty
ward, carrying her left hand and part
of the fore arm in her right hand. She
had deliberately cut the flesh to the bone
and finding she was unable to gel
through the bone with carving-knife
she was using, finished the business by
chopping it off with blunt axe. The
tagging Of the wound by this instrumen'
in a measure some OF the bleeding
that would otherwise have occurred. She
was at once placed in bed, and the arm
had to be amputated higher up, more
in accordance with surgical art. The
only explanation she could give of her
conduct was that the devil was ON her
clock, and had told her to do it. | need
.licely tell you that the devil, in this
use as in many others, had entered in
the form of strong drink"

The people of Texas are suffering Sc
verely from drought. A correspond snt
writing from Jacksboro says that in
that region no rains have fallen since
the 10th Of May, except few very
light showers in the latter part of June.
Fires have been raging in the grass and
timber, so that the whole country is
darkened by the smoke. The crops
have been dried up, and Gu many farms
there will be nothing left worth harvest

pearing, and in frequent instanc set
Tiers have been obliged to go five miles
to procure water. 1t is feared that I'M

NOT ENOUGH TROOPS.

This afternoon a dispatch was
received from Gen. Emory, at the
War department, stating that the
situation was quite critical, and
that the presence of U. S. Troops
in the city had lost the moral
force which usually attaches to
the garrison of a city in time of
peace; also that if conflict with
the United States forces became
necessary, he had not half enough
troops to meet the emergency.
1t is understood that General
Mcdowell has been Gi Iected to
notify Gen. Emory that he will
only use the troops uuder his COM
mand in case an actual disturbance
of the peace is threatened, or when
in his judgment the efforts of his
command are essential 10 protect
