Pigs with Solid Hoofs and Pigs that are not
Pigs.

In Texas there are pigs whose hoofs are
not divided like those Of ordinary pigs, but
are each in one solid piece.
If this is true it is strange thing but
here's something that seems even stranger
still
The Guinea-pig is not pig, and there are
no Guinea-pigs in Guinea. However,
there are plenty in Guiana, and. as the
names of these places are very much alike,
perhaps people got mixed in calling them.
The places are far enough apart, though /;
but this you can see by your maps.
At any rate the Guinea-pig is a sort of
cousin of the squirrel and rabbit, and is
fond of potato and apple peelings, carrot
tops, parsley, and cabbage but he likes best
the leaves from the ea-pot.-Jaek an the

ATTACKING THE NEGROES.
The fever having attacked nearly all
the white people in the infected dis
trlcts, it Is now taking hold of the ne
groes. This class Of citizens have
generally escaped the contagion, and the
Impression that they will not take it has
been So general that many OF them
have Come in from the country with the
hope OF getting food without working for
1t. To-morrow's papers announcing new
cases among negroes will cause mauy of
them to leave town.
Henry Harder, a Main street shoe deal
er, was probably the best known of those
who died to-day. Drs. Frazer and por-
ter and General Winfield Smith are i'm
proving. Fred Brennan Is still alive. but
Is not likely to recover.
Father Walsh, of st. Bridget's, and
rather McGarvey, of st. Peters, are
dead. w. 9. Woodruff is reported in

w. Sharp was elected chairman, and n.
X. johnson, secretary.
MIR. Mitchell moved that the room bs
cleared Of all but members of the Con-
We tntlon and representatives of the press.
Mr.. Pennington moved to exclude all
but members OF the Convention.
Mr. Pt nnington supported his motion
ny a speech in which he stated that IL
was the custom of conventions twenty
years or so ago to exclude reporters, ana
mat the present convention should do so.
Mr.. John &. Gooden denounced the ef-
Tort TO exclude the reporters rs an attempt
TO gag the press, but the majority Of the
Convention agreed with Mr.. Pennington
IN his view OF the matter, and your re-
porter with number of representatives
OF other papers made their best bow to

nominate the candidate for Sheriff.
Frank NJ. Dunn, of West Dover
Hundred, James NJ. Kerbin, of East
Dover Hundred and John 5. Harring-
ton, Of Milford Hundred, were put in

all their strength on the first ballot. The
result Of the struggle showed that the
hloaing ones Were not mistaken, Frank
NJ Dunn, of West Dover Hundred, re-
celving thirty-tour votes on the first bal
lot, John ). Harrington receiving four
