The PIG.-The pig was thus written
up up by Georgia boy, whose compo-
sition was published in his local paper,
the Griffin Ne,Us, and was as follows
''The pig is about as big as a sheep,
only a pigs wool isn't good for making
stockings of. Why is pig like tree
Because he roots. That is conundrum.
A pig washes himself in the mud. A
pig has four legs, one under each
corner of his body. They pickle pigs
feet, but not until after the pig is done
using 'em. A pig squeals awful whenit
rains also when you pull his tail. A pig
has got a first rate voice for squealing,
and he grunts when he feels good. Can t
make whistle out of a pigs tail, COS it
is crooked. Why is pig like Tommy
Grant Cos he's got his nose in every
body's business. This is another con-
undrum, which is ali I know about a

THE KING OF HAWAII
Kalakaua the Great of the Sandwich Is
lands.

The following description of the latest
lion is from the San Francisco Chron1-
Gle:
Seated at ease in comfortable arm
chairs and stretched upon lounges were
half dozen gentlemen, two of them Of
darker hue than the rest. A stout, por-
tly gentlemen, dressed in blue coat
with gold buttons. pair Of slippers on
his feet, leaned back in his chair smok
ing cigar and looking the picture of
comfort. His vest was thro kn open, and
he had resented the confinement of a
collar. This was King Kalakaua. He
arose as the reporter entered, offered his
hand, and courteously presented the
various gentlemen. A marble-top table,
covered with glasses and decanters, and
the near neighborhood Of the well-sup-
piled sideboard, gave their own hint.
A graceful young Kanaka cut the wires
and popped the corks. Capt. Hopkins
proposed the health Of the King. In a
few minutes the cordial and somewhat
playful manner of Kalakaua soon put all
at their ease. His Majesty is evidently
not carried away by the dignity of his
station. He has the easy, self-possessed
air of man of the world, and seems
trife impatient of the ceremonious way
in which he is addressed. His complec-
ton is dark, and his -whiskers and
hair are dark and curly. His Excellency
J. M. Kapeno is handsome young Haw-
allan, with bright, Intelligent brown eyes
black moustache, and of ready, refined
manner. Governor Dominis is in bold
contrast to The rest of the royal party.
He is tall, hearty gentlemen, why of
figure, and glowing in a full beard of.
tinge vereing on red. Captain Hopkins
and Paymaster Putnam completed the
party. The apartment was tastefully
decorated with evergreens and pictures,
and deliciously redolent Of cigar smoke.
Kalakaua was not disposed to talk re
specting his proposed mission. He said
however, that he thought San Francisco
should, and easily could, secure mon
opoly of the trade Of the Sandwich
Islands, and alluded to the way in which
the Australian and China and Japan
steamship lines had avoided the island.

THE East Anglican Times announces the
discovery by Mr.. J. E. Taylor. f. G. S.,
OF buried forest in the Orwell. The
forest is represented by layer of peat,
containing trunks, leaves, and the fruit

mammoth. 4 bed Of fresh-water shells,
containing species not now living in the
