ZEE VILE soc o. INDIA.

Those who have formed their conception
of pig exclusively upon the tame pig Of the
civilized sty, have no adequate idea Of the
free wild pig OF the Indian jungle. Like
the North American Indian the pig is de-
based by contact with civilization He
becomes cowardly, weak, dirty, and a prey
TO an inordipate thirst for swin. The dis
lance between the tame Indian of Saratoga,
who steals chickens and wallows drunken in
the gutter and the fierce warrior of the
Western plains Is not greater than that
which separates the despised pig Of civ
ilizstion from the wild an6 fearless
quarry of the East Indian plg-stieker.
The latter pig, whose spirit has
never been broken with pig yokes, and
whose moral nature has never been poi
soaed with swill, Is one Of the bravest IN.
habitants of she jungle, and has been
known TO attack and put to rout the ma
jestic elephant and the feToclous tiger.
The full name OF the East Indian pig is SIS
i9dicUs. though no one except & punctihous
scientific person ever calls him By it.
Among beginners in the art of pigsticRing
he Is sometimes magmloquently described
as wild boar-thou.h he is very often
wild SOW; but pig sUickers of reputation
uniformly call him pig or hog. SIS in
deus often crows to the length of four feet
eight or ten inches, and reaches the
hight of three feet or even forty
inches at the shoulder. When full
grown his strength Is really enormous,
and in speed he viii sometimes
rival the fastest Arabian horse. He
enters upon existence in a striped state;
subsequently he becomes brown when In
the prime OF life, he affects dipgy black
color; and when old, be is gray and griE-
zied. AT no period can he be honestly
called handsome or a graceful animal,
but his courage and tenacity Of life demand
our respect. In point of teeth the tame
pig has sadly deteriorated. The wild
boar of India, which is the type of the
barbarac pig of all ages, is armed
with long semicircular tusks. Those III the
lower jaw sometimes attain the length
OF eight or nine inches They curve out-
ward and upward, aud the edges are
kept sharp by the pigs constant habit
OF occurring them against the tusks
of the upper jaw. The manner
and power with which he uses those tpsks
to carve an enemy are almost incredible.
A hunting dog is frequently cut nearly in
two by single stroke of boar's tusks,
and horses and men are occasionally He'd
by boars which have become tired Of being
hunted, and which try to iniuse little
variety into the affair by hunting their
enemies. When wounded he is an exceed
ingly dangerous beast to face on foot, unless
the hunter is a lawless rutfian who is cap.

THE FRENCH SUTLEREss.-It is pity,
observes late essayist, to destroy ro-
mantle Illusion, but am sorry to say that
pretty cantiniere, or French sutleress, "
has never been known in military history.
She does not even march with the regi-
ment, cracking jokes and singing songs.
She is, on the contrary, solid motherly
old lady, who travels in one-horse cart,
with sharp eye on her own liquor. She
has often beard as strong as that of the
Colonel, and she is proud of it. She
makes comfortable thing of her canteen,
but no cantiniere ever grew rich. The
board of the under officers, which it comes
under her province to provide, is supplied
at price fixed by the Colonel, and it does
not leave large margin of profit, as it is
strictly proportional to their pay. How
ever, her trade is chiefly conducted on
ready money principles, and she does make
something out of the officers messes, es-
pecially on strangers and festival days.

The Fruit Fxhibition at Los Angeles

From al accounts the fruit exhibition at
the Southern CaIiforsia Fair, at Los Angeles,
was one of the finest exhibits of fruit ever
made in the State. Il included all the
harder fruits as the apple, pear, peach,
plum, etc. as well as all the usual citrus
fruits in great varsity. One very Interesting
feature OF this exhibition was found in the
fact that different localities as well as differ
ent individuals competed for the honors of
the exhibition. A very spirited rivalry was
excited betweea the different settlements. as

As CHEF or POLICE.

Our city fathers met in regular session
last night, with his honor, Mayor Thistle
wood, in the chair. Aldermen Howley,
Smith, Blake, Hinkle, Petit, SwobOda and
Saup graced the chamber with their pres
ence but Linegar Halliday and Paticr
were absent.
The report of Squire Osborn was read,
which divulged the fact that during the
past month he had assessed fines to the
amour, of fifteen dollars, and that no COL
lections had been made. The report was
on motion, accepted and ordered filed, after
which Clerk Foley read number of bills
which had at former meeting been re-
ferred to the finance committee. The COM
mlttee havia@-rsported favorably upon
them, and having recommended their pay
ment, the report was, on motion, concurrcd
in and payment of the bills was allowed in
full.
The committee on streets, etc, reported
favorably upon the petition of Dennis
stapeton, praying for fifteen dollars
damages for the broken arm Of his little
daughter, Nellie. The accident was at
tributable to the bad condition Of the side
walk aud since Dr.. Parker, who set the
arm, had charged fifteen dollars for his
services, the council generously allowed
Mr.. Stapeton that amount.
Alderman Saup stated that the various
fire companies of the city had presented
petitions to the committee on police, Jail
aud fire department, asking for number OF
new hose, but since the procurement Of the
hose asked for would involve an expendi-
ture of between one thousand and eighteen
hundred dollars, he asked for additional
time before presenting the petitions, which
was granted.
A petition, signed by sixty. seven citizens
praying that the drive OF st. Msry's park
be put in good condition, was read, and on
motion Of Alderman Bake, referred to the
committee on streets, with the instruction
| that said committee make such expendi
lures as are necessary to put new tree boxes
about the trees, have the grass moved
down aud have such other work done as
will put the park in generally good con
| dtlon.
The petition Of the Hibcrniln Fire com
pany was next read, which asked for the
exclusive right to use the park on the days
Of the 9Th and 9Th proximo. On motion Of
Alderman Saup it was agreed that the com
pany be permitted the use Of the park I'm

the purpose Of antagonizing the city coun-

the law, and what YOU think is right an

At the conclusion Of the reading Of the
communication, II was, on motion Of Alder
man Saup received and filed. The result
of the vote bad hardly been declared, when
Alderman Blake moved that John Il. Rob.
insons bond which had been placed upon
the table at the last meeting be taken from
the table and approved. Major Hinklc lost
no time in seconding the motion,
but before il could be put to the house,
Alderman Saup made motion to adjourn
which was seconded. He said he made the
motion to adjourn because several aldermen
were absent and he desired that every
member of the council should be heard on
the question. TIE mayor then put the
motion TO the house, but the
ayes ana nays being too evenly
divided to decide with certainty which
side was in the majority, the clerk was re-
quested TO call the roll which, after having
done 50. showed that Aldermen Blake,
Hiukle aud Petit had voted nay, and Al
men Howley, Smith, Saup and Swoboda

mayor announced that the council was ad

The Alexander county convention act
ed wisely in not trammeling the senatorial
delegates with instructions. The fact that
the party is decidedly in the majority in
this senatorial district, and has so many
good men who could bring out its full
strength, leaves no doubt that who ever
the convention may place before the people
of this district, will be elected state senator.
Nomination in this case, as in the case OF
Lincoln in 1864, means election. Hon.
VIM. A. Lemma has, so far, been the most
prominent probable candidate for the office,
and has received the instruc
tons Of his own, Jackson county.
Alexander county not having instructed
for Judge Lemma, it can, without treach-
cry, advocate the claims Of some one of her
numerous good men in the senatorial con-
vention. And while we believe that Mr..
Lemma has at present the inside track as a
candidate for the state senate, yet the Alex
snder county delegation should not fail to
advocate the claims OF Judge Green or
Hon. D. T. I.inegar. Alexander county is
entitled either 10 the senator or representa-
tive in the legislature of the state and
should. and no doubt will, make the neces-
sary effort to secure either one or the other.
Judge Lemma is, 50 far as we know, very
good man and, should he receive the NOM
nation, we would not withhold our sup
port. But we can not help saying that we
would p,efer an Alexander county man for
the senate. However, if our preference in
this regard can not be satisfied, We will
content ourselt with the member of the
lower house.
P. S.-Since tie above has been placed
in type, we have learned that Union county
has instructed for Judge Lemms. This, of
course, iusures his nomination, and since
this senatorial district is Democratic, his
election is likewise insured
