The pig was thus written up by Georgia
boy: 1.-THE pig is about as big as sheep,
only pigs wool isn't good for making stock
ines Of Why is pig like tree? Because
he roots. That is q 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
rains, also when you pull its tail. A pig has
got first-rate voice for squealing, and he
erunts when he feels good. You can't make
q whistle of a pigs tail, COS it is crooked.
Why is pig ike Tommy Grant? Cos he's
got his nose in everybody's business. This
IS another conundrum, which is all know
about the pig"

Southern Prosperity.

The Southern cotton crop this year will
be at least four and half million bales
the largest ever produced in the South. We
need not point out how fully this justifes all
that the aboltionists urged for the cxtnc-
ton OF slavery ON purely economical grounds.
The Shareholders of the South and the dem
ocracy of the North built their case upon the
premise that the negro would not work I'M
less compelled TO, and that no white man
could endure the climate and work. The re-
suit shows the utter fallacy Of this reasoning.
In spite of every interference made by law
less whites, in spite of the natural royulsion
to idleness which would come over a people
accustomed to work upon compulsion only,
the crops of the South have steadily increased
from year to year, until now there is more
cotton, rice, sugar, and general agricultural
products raised than at any previous time.
If the statistics of manufacturing were at
tainable, like increase would probably be
visible there also.
1t is certain that it is either the whites or
the negroes that have done this. The emf
grafton to the South has been very limited,
and whatever reouperation has taken place
in her condition is nearly all due to the en-
terprise of her own inhabitants, white and
black. 1t is perfectly fair to ascribe much
Of it to the negroes, who have in all in
stances shown laudabe desire to acquire
property and advance themselves in the
world. The work of the Republican party
in freeing them, and comforting the franchise
upon them, is already abundantly justified,

llIDE-BouND.-Kentucky is unable TO bring
herself to allow negroes to testify in cases
where white men are involved This makes
II practically impossible to convict white
men of oilenses against negroes, where the
only witnesses TO such offenses are blacks.
This has been illustrated recently in the ac-
quittal of John Blyew and George Kennard,
whites, who brutally murdered Lucy Arm
strong, colored. There was no doubt that
they committed the deed as charged, but as
there We're none but colored witnesses
against them, the state courts discharged
them They were re-arrested under the
civil rights law, tried in United States
Circuit Court and found guilty. An appeal
was made to the Supreme Court, which re-
versed the judgment Of the Circuit Court,
on the ground that there was no warrant for
the transfer Of the case from the state court,
since the witnesses in the cases were not to
be considered as persons affected by the
murder within the meaning of the Civil
Rights law.

Cheaper Railroads Demanded.

AT o recent meeting Of the New York
Cheap Transportation Association, j. X.
Ilornish, Esq, president Of the Forty-first
Parallel road-whch is looking to our pro
jected Green Mountain road as an Eastern
link In the grand chain--delivered an adj
dress on narrow gauge roads. lie said that
capital was demanding increased rates for
transportation and the public a reduction,
and, as the case stands, commerce must have
reduction and capital an advance in rates.
The struggle has been going on for two
years, and both contestants are actually
on the same side, and both would suffer
should either gain victory The entire
trouble grew out Of the nature Of our roads.
Alter iouy-iiye years OF experience and
development, the lowest average net cost
on our frst-class trunk roads, (the New
York Central Erie, Pennsylvania Central,
aud Baltimore & Ohio) is eight mills per
ton per mile, and the lowest average gross
tariff is twelve mills per ton, and that is
eight mills for expenses and four mills for
interest and dividend on investment First
class single track roads exceed this average
from nine TO twelve mills being the net cost
and from fourteen to sixteen mills the aver
age gross tariff. At the average twelve mills
gross tarih and eight mills net cost the prof
Its viii fairly cover the interest on the cost
of a double track road, with iirstclass equip
ments and appointments, while at the average
OF eight mills the entire investment becomes
worthless. 1t IS therefore, evident that II
our standard roads were given to the public
for nothing, they could not make the tariff
rates required. II the rates on bulk
freight were made at less than the average
cost, the rate on all other freight would have
TO be advanced beyond an equitable pro rata.
In the case of narrow gauge road the
average tariff OF eight miles gives an inter-
est on the cost OF a double track road, and
also a large contingent fund, aud the capital
is not impaired until the average comes be
low six mills. At the rate OF eight mills the
standard road becomes bankrupt while the
narrow guage earns ten per cent. on the cost
of double track. On roads where the av-
crage train load is two hundred tons, the av-
erage train mile must cost one dollar, aud
this is equal to five mills per ton mile
Should the average train load he less than

TIM DIfFgRENcE.-People who read the
platform of the Republican party of Massa-
chusetts, adopted by its recent convention
in Worcester, and, turning from it to that of
its antagonist, adopted by the democrats in
state convention, at the same place, will find
points Of resemblance but 1t should be
born in mind that the Republican platform
is perfectly consistent with the action Of the
party, while that OF the democrats was
forced upon them by circumstances they
could not resist. Senator Wilson put the
case with the utmost force, in his address at

Our Fashion Makers.

In her last letter from Paris, Lucy Hooper
notes it as an odd fact that the two chief
drcssmakers of Paris-Wortl and Pingot-
should both be men, The iirst-that king

is rather interesting to sit quietly waiting in
one of the show rooms, and to note how every
detail in this vast establishment owes its
completeness and finish to his hand. Here,
there, aud everywhere, attending to one Gus
toner, answering the questions of second,
giving advice to a third, sitting in judg
ment on the toilette of a fourth showing one
girl how to put in a sleeve, and second
how to trim skirt, fastening on n waist
trimming for one dress and disposing lace
in graceful curves for another. 1t is easy to
see how he has won his reputation and made
his fortune. There is no doubt but that in
his own line he is a real genius, and when to
that qualification is added untiring industry
and ineXhaustible energy it is no wonder
der that his creations in dress have attained
to such worldwide celebrity. One thing
about him that is very astonishing is his
memory. Show him piece of lace, for in
stance, and he will pensively remark, "Ah,
yes you bought that lace of me in 1865.
1t was then in pale blue silk, the skirt of
which was cut so-and-so, and trimmed in
such a way, and it was looped at the side
with cluster Of blush roses, three roses and
five buds to the cluster" Absurd as the
above may sound, it is not one whit exag-
gerated, and yet the number of dresses that
are annually sent out from his renowned
ateler amount to several thousand. From
the queen to the cocotte, all classes of female
society confess his power aud bow beneath
his sceptre. For there is nobody like him
in all the wide range Of Partisan dress
making.
