JTDGE MACKEY ON THE HOG.

The following is the conclusion of the re-
port of the Committee on Swine, submitted
by Judge Mackey at the recent Fair Of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical Society :
While your committee recognize with sat.
isfaction the commendable effort displayed
in the introduction end culture of thorough.
bred and high grade swine and the most
improved breeds, yielding the largest weight
of meat and lard in proportion to the amount
of food, which is the true economical prlncl.
pie in raising edible stock, they profoundly
regret that no specimen Of our native stock
was placed on exhibition.
We hold it important for chronological rea-
sons, that the native hog of South Carolina
should be widely cultivated. He is to our
people the monumental hog, and around him
cluster the traditions of two eventful centu-
ries. Older than the constitution of the
United States, he alone seems unaffected Be-
riously by it's amendments" Roaming at
will through our far reaching swamps and
over our homestead hills in the days Of 1776,
the bold infantry of stout Cornwalis grew
faint while following the fleet creature of this
extraordinary pachyderma, and he distanced
with triumphant grunt even the enterprising
cavalry of the fiery Tarleton. He is absolute
ly unchanged and uuchangeable He can
neither be starved nor fattened, and is real.
ly the only one of our domesticated animals
which has always worked for his living.
For him "eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" and he cannot be taken BY surprise,
while the predatory rover who essays to pur-
sue him, soon learns in disgust that the race
is to the swift in the case of this marvellous
hog
"with his long galop which can ire.
The hounds deep hate, the hunters SIRE"
For his owner, he is light weight, it is true,
but then he is sure meat. The fat hog,
on the contrary, is perpetual hazard and a
constant provocative of larceny. He is un-
able to deal with the only recognized race is-
sue in this State, of which he is the frequent,
because the easy victim. On the other hand,
the native self preserving hog appreciates

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY.-From
Vermont comes the following story of the mis-
haps of a baby: Last Thursday, Mrs. W. j.
Boyce, of Woodstock, placed her baby, nine
months old, in baby cab standing on the
partico, to wheel it in the street. She left it
for moment, and stepped into the house,
when the cab started, rolled down four steps
to the driveway, across that and piece of
ground some twelve rods in width, to the bank
Of o the Queohee river, thence down o bank
some fifteen feet high into the river. The
mother had started after, but was unable to
catch up. She dashed into the river and
canght the child, but being in deep water, was
oblig to let go Of the babe to save herself:
The housemaid had followed after her, and
reached the river in time to save the mother.
The baby was carried, by the current, about
twenty-five rods, when gentleman who had
witnessed the affair, reached the stream and
secured the child"

ness he would prefer. The places are ready
in every kind of occupation. Many Of them
are already filled by boys who lack some inn
pporrtant points, but they will soon be vacant.
Some situations will soon be vacant, because
the boys have been poisoned by reading bad
books. such as they would not dare show their
fathers, and would be ashamed to have their
mothers see, The impure thoughts suggested
by these books will lead to vicious acts, the
boys will be ruined, and their places must be
filled. Who will be ready for one Of these
vacanciesi Distinguished lawyers, useful
ministers, skillful physicians, successful mer-
chants, must all soon leave their places for
some one else to ell. One BY one, they are
removed by death. Mind your ten points,

A NOVEL FEAT IN DENTIsTRY.-Scalp-
grating has become quite common perfor-
nance, but it will be news to many that teeth
may be similarly transplanted and made to
grow in other mouths than the original own
er. Dr. Thomas, of Detroit, details in the
Deatal Cosmos case in which he successfully
performed this operation, inserting in the
mouth Of gentleman, who had lost . right
superior cuspidate, solid and healthy tooth
that he had removed from lady's mouth
four weeks previously. He opened into the
canal and pulp chamber of the tooth, from
the apex of the tooth only cut the end off
one eighth of an inch Git being that much too
long), reduced the size somewhat in the cen.
tire Of the root Git being triAe larger than
the root extracted), illed and placed in
position. He states that the occlusion, shape
and color were perfect, so much so that sever
al dentists who saw the case were not able to
distinguish the transplanted tooth from the
others. The two features in the case that he
calls particular attention to are: First, that
although the tooth had been in his office four
weeks, there is to-day no perceptible change
in color; and, second, that the reattachment is
as perfect as thoug b it had been transplanted
or replanted the same day of extraction

A SWIM ON HORSEBACK.

Anovefswim took place onthe Thames, the
performer being young officer in the Hun.
garian army, Lieutenant Won Zubovits. This
gentleman has invented saddle by means of
which wide and rapid rivers can be easily
crossed on horseback. The rider remains dry
above the waist.
Considerable interest seemed to be taken
in the trial trip, saloon steamer, which had
been chartered to accompany the swim, being
crowded with visitors. Lieutenant Won .Zu-
bovits rode gray horse, the property Of Mr.
Henderson the ship owner, this horse having
had previously only three trials in the water |;
but the Lieutenant states that when he com:
manded Circassian regiment in the late war,
he had no difficulty in easily persuading hor.
ses to take to the water, and on one occasion,
in the Danube, he swan one horse for eighteen
hours.
The start was fixed to take place at Eve

was crowded with spectators. A cheer soon

carrying water or fodder, when not required
for the purpose of enabling cavalries to cross
rivers. Westminster bridge was passed at
twenty minutes past five O'Clock, the steamer
starting at the same time, considerable inter-
est being evidently taken in the proceedings

SECRET OF HApP1NEss.-Men and women
wed each other to be happy. And why not,
if they marry wisely? The man should be
little bigger than his wife, and little
older, q little braver, q little more in love
with her than she is with him. The woman
should always be a little younger, little
prettier, and little more considerate than
her husband. He should bestow upon her
all his worldly goods, and she should take
good care Of them He may owe her every
care and affection that tenderness can prompt;
but pecunisfy Indebtedness to her will become
burden. Better live On q crust he earns
than on fortune she has brought him.
Neither must be jealous, nor give the other
cause of Jealousy. Neither must encourage
sentimental friendship for the opposite sex.
They must have perfect confidence in each
other; and reticence concerning their mutual
affairs, even to members of their own families,
is at first necessary. s8tsiiS
u A wife should dress herself becomingly
whenever she expects to meet her husbands
eye. The man should not grow slovenly, even
at home. Faultfnding, long arguments, or
seedlings, end the happiness that begins in
kisses and love-making. Sisters and brothers
may quarrel and make up" Lovers are
lovers mo longer after such disturbances oc.
cur; and married people who are not lovers,
are bound by red.hot chains. Ifaman ad.
mires his wife most in prints, she is silly not
to wear them. IF she likes him best in black
cloth, he is a: fool if be nsglects to indulge in
it. They should contrive to please each other,
even if they please nobody else-for their
mutual happiness can only be the result of
their mutual love, and that love will never
fail to exalt its object. ..t ae..3,..s
