AmusInn Lawsuit.

The Baltimore Netos says ;: One Of the
most amusing cases ever brought before
magistrate has iust been tried by Justice
Flaherty, of East Baltimore The parties
to the suit were committee OF Monumen-
tai Lodge No. "a, l. o. M, VS.. Henry
Henning, saloon keeper. 1t appears from
the evidence that grand picnic, for the
benefit of the Southern relief fund, took
place at Hardwood on the 18th of Septem-
Der last. Among other amusements on
the grounds was the time.honored sport Of
catching or missing creased pig by the
tail.
After lively scrambliug, Mr.. James
Collins, of East Baltimore, carried off the
prize, amounting to 81 90, he having secur-
ed good hold on the narrative of the
souealer either with his hands or his teeth
In doing this he Collins) skinned his
forehead and right elbow besides having
the gable end of his nose slightly reduced.
The captor generously dropped the reward
of his labor iuto the charity box and
received the congratulations of his friends.
The pig was then let loose for another
race, but refused to run. again, and there
being no fre-craokers on the ground, the
second trip proved failure. After consid-
cradle talk his porkship was offered for
sale at public auction by Constable Kitz of
the Sixth ward. The bids ran up to SO rs,
and the pig was knocked down to Mr..
Henning. The purchaser who was clad
in q fine broadcloth suit, was handed his
bargain and requested to pay cash for it
and carry it away.
MIR. Heuning, who valued his clothing
more than the creased pig, declined taking
the animal under his arm, but gave the
committee his address, stating that whe n
the pig was delivered at his residence he
would pay 50 IS and any other expense.
After these arrangements were agreed to,
some one stole the pig and Henning was
sued for its value. Judgment was render
ed in favor of the plaintiffs, but the defen-
dant states that he will appeal the case to
a higher court before he pays for the
creased pig that he did not get.

ROMANCE OF srAHlEY's LIFE.
Rs,ro,hsd 60 y Jewesn aad lifted
while In Africa.

There arc few men In the world to
whom life should apparently be so
pleasant rs to Mr.. Henry Stanley ;
here are few, however to whom II seems
10 be so bitter. AL England Is ready to
do him honor (; he has been overwhelm-
ed with praise and congratulation !; the
Queen has received him ; Parliament
has thanked him ; the two great jour.
mails for which he has made his explora.
tons have amply rewarded him. But
he il sullen, morose, discontenied and
savage he seems TO enjoy nothing

tenssly disagrseable at a public dinner
or meeting where every n Is anxious to
do him honor. This IL strange ; MIR.
Stanley Is yet q young man, and life
should still contain much Joy for him.
What Is the explanation OF this mys'
terry? -.
Mr.. Stanley has had q romance; II
ended unhappily for him. and this has
soured him to tho heart. Before be
went upon his second expedition to
Africa, he met and fell madly In love
with a charming young lady, the daugh.
ter of q wealthy citizen Of Jewish o..
traction, whose name Is. perhaps. best
known in connection with the erection
OF an extensive but unfortunate opera
house. Mr.. Stanley's passion was deer
and violent, but he was told that. OF
least, he must wait, aud that an i'm.
mediate marriage was out OF the ques'
ton. lie was anxious to win even
greater fame aud fortune and lay then,
at the feet Of his beloved. II was ai
this moment that the second African Ok
petition was proposed TO him; in 1t be
saw the coveted opportunity for distino'
ton aud reward, aud ho eagerly EN-
braced the perilous task. Throughout
the whole OF thnt terrible journey
through the jungles OF Africa, amid oil
his tolls. dangers. sickness and disap'

thought OF his love. and by the conn
dent hope Of receiving the reward which
was dearer TO him than the applause oil

And the package was consigned to the

for thirteen years this incident Of the
assassination has been known only to
the men concerned in IL.
After this lapse Of time il is difficult
to form an impartial judgment OF the
