retained permanently upon the centen-
NAL grounds, as was projected by the
Philadelphians, who were in affair way
to raise half million dollars to purchase

WHEN Seth got home from mackerel-
ing he sought his Sarah Ann, and found
that she, the heartless one, had found
another man. And then most awful
tight he got, and so he went away, and
bound himself to cut live oak all down
in Flerida. He pined upon the live oak
land, he murmured in the shades; his
AK grew heavy in his hand, all in the
wildwood gladcs. Mosquitoes bit him
everywhere, no comfort did he get, and
how terribly he'd swear whenever he
got bit. At last, despairing of relief,
and wishing himself dead, he went into
the woods piece and chopped off his
own head.
DowN in the southeastern part Of Vir-
pinia fourishes breed of semi-wild hogs,
called in the country vernacular " wind
splitters," or "razor-backs." They greatly
resemble greyhound in shape, and in
speed would successfully compete with
one. At one of the county fairs, sever
al years ago, an enterprising Pennsylva-
nan placed on exhibition pen OF sleek
fat Berkshires, which presented marked
contrast to the leaner native specimens
by which they were surrounded. Their
owner one day encountered one of his
competitors in swine culture, and ven-
tured comparison between his own and
the silent occupants of the neighboring
pens. "Wa'al, stranger" replied the
rurslist, "thcy may be right smart for you
uns, but down in this var country you
couldn't give em way Why not ="
asked the astonished Pcnnsylvaniaii.
"Why, ye see stranger, down var hog
that can't outrun a niger ain't wuth
cuss." This anecdote was told by sena-
tor Withers, of Virginia, in stump
speech delivered in Chesterfield county.
When he descended from the platform he
was accosted By venerable darky, who
had been an attentive listener, with the
query ~ say, Mars Withers, whar can
