Habits Of the Hog.

The .domesticated hog does not APP
pro3imate the habits Of his pioneer
ancestors in point of cleanliness. 1t is
the instructive habit of the animal to
battle in water and wallow in mud to
counteract heat and as protection
against flies; bat in state of nature,
when the mud has served it's purpose,
the animal cleanses himself by friction
with the nearest tree; the filthy bed
which the domestic animal becomes
satisfied to occupy in state of con-
tinen1ent is never occupied by animals
running in The forest and given oppor-
tunity to make and change their sleeping
places at will. In short, when allowed to
provide for his own existence he exercises
q more intelligent regard for his wants
than is ordinarily exercised for him by
his owner, who attempts to supersede
instiL CO by reason.

The FoOtman Who Wouldn't Announce
W. nj Bismarck. L1

They are telling good story in Ber-
lin of the visit paid by Bismarck to
Lord and Lady Dufferin, at the Kaiser
hof, when the newly-made Ambassad or
and his wife were passing through the
Kaiserstadt. The footman to whom
Bismarck gave his card returned, after
keeping the Prince waiting several min
utes, and, in reply to the Princes de-
mand whether he had announced him,
said, rather impertinently, "No!" New
Bismarck, as I suppose all the world
knows, is irritated in amoment, and the
funkey's imperturbability simply threw
him into white heat. In great rage
he burst out, "You old fool! why not?"
and was going away, when Lord Duff
ferin looked out of his room and pro-
ceeded to explain. It seems that Lady
Duferin was dressing, and that Chawles,
who thought the Prince wished to see
the Countess, had been told by the
Lady's maid that her mistress was not
at home. By the time that Lord Duff
ferin had explained the mistake to Bis
marck, Her Ladyship had finished
dressing and was able to receive the
Prince. Now just imagine what tre-
mendous consequences might have en-
sued from Chawles' absurd mistake

Two Democrats (Hill and vance, and two Re-

not enough of the case to put Mr.. Ingalls, again
on the defense, and, therefore, they would not
recommend an investigation by the Senate. The
remaining four Democratic members were of
the opinion that an investigation ought to be Or

A Horrible Story from Mexico.

In chihuahua, woman went into a
shoemaker's shop in front of his dwell
ing and was measured for pair OF
shoes. The son of Crispin said to the
woman: aYou have very pretty foot"
''Do you think sc?" she said. He re-
piled: eyes. That is the prettiest foot
in Mexico" The woman was to come
back next day and leave 81, when the
shoes were to be commenced. The
shoemaker's wife, hearing all, said moth
ing. The next day the shoemaker was
out when the woman with the pretty
foot called, according to agreement, and
the wife got her into the back room and
stabbed her to death. The wife then
cut steak out of the dead woman's leg
aad packed the body under the bed.

United States circuit court arrived
in Jackson Monday morning. He
and Judge Hill heard motion made
by counsel for the Kemper coun-
ty prisoners, charged with conspi-
racy, to quash the indictments on
the grounds that the law under
which they were found was uncon-
stitutional. An opinion on the mo-
ton was deferred, as it was sug-
gested that a case involving the
constitutionality of the same law
is already before the supreme
court at Washington, and that a
decision is likely to be rendered
soon. Hon. Jno. w. Jewell argued
for the motion, and the district at
torney represented the government.

, Speaking of the action of the
democrats upon their future policy,
a special to the New Orleans Dem,
ocrdt says there has been some
discussion among the democratic
leaders as to whether, after the
legislative bills shall have been
vetoed, the repeats of the test oath
and election laws shall be passed
and sent to Hayes in one bill or
separated into two distinct mea-
sures. This grows out of the fact
that if the two are presented separ-
ately Hayesis known to intend sign
ing the test oath bill aad vetoing
the other; and the question is
whether it would not look like a
partial surrender for congress to ar
range its action to suit the previous
ly advertised wishes of Hayes. Near
ly all the Southern democrats hold
that there is no logical conclusion
between the test oath and the cleo
ton laws, and the only proper way
to repeal them is by separate acts.
1t now appears probable that this
latter view will prevail, and the
test oath repealed as q separate
measure without serious opposi-
ton. If, however, it is joined in
the same bill with the repeal of the
election laws it will certainly be
vetoed. 90.
There is a growing disposition to
dispose of the legislative bill at
