We are glad to find space for the estimate and con-
iding Davie, his letter But as to that Teutonc ar
tcle-well we confess that suspicion has crossed
our mind that the lively Fritz poking fun all the
time at his Anglo-Saxon friends, and evolving an ar
tcle out of his inner consciousness We regret to
say that Davies presumption as to our education
having been neglected in the matter of German is
only too well founded, SO that refrain from ask
ing to see that slip, and merely give the suspicion
for what it is worth.-ED RUG.
EDITOR "RuGsEIAN: Hogs hogs, hogs; long
hogs short hogs large hogs, small hogs, lean hogs;
anything but fat hogs; against these, each and all,
invoke the powers Of The RUGBEIAN. Though their
varieties endless,yet they all have certain vile char
acterlstics. They are inquisitive to degree, and
omnvorous anything from venison hams to cast off
panaloons is eagerly devoured; they are disgustingy
familiar, walking into ones house without any in
vitation and roostng under the table or any where
handy, it's all the same. In appearance, they vary
from that of a pig in training for go-asyou-pease
race to that of piece of plank set on end. Their
colors are far as can be seen through Dirt black
whiteybrown, sandy, pebald some have bristes like
an old scrubbing brush have torn ears, with an
outline like the map of Greece others have lost their
tails during the war; all seem spend their time lying
around for something to devour, or qlarreling
sumptuous old rag or elegant bone. They root up
the city grounds and make holes, which, when filled
with rain, form puddles for the benghted Rugbeian
to fall into. Partycolored little porkers creep through
our fences, determined grunters break through, and
cunning old tuskers wriggle through somehow; even
barbed wire won't stop them; they like it. because it's
sign they are not wanted inside and this enchans
the porcine mind. When become U. S. Senator
I'll have bill passed to abolish hogs, except in the
form of ham and bacon. l admit that there are hogs
and hogs; there's the boated arstocrat of the show
yard too proud or fat to and look his admirers
and there's the nice little barrel from Berkshire who
grunts around, happily unconscious of the coming
days of sausages; but these mountain hogs! odds
piggkins, what an incarnation of porCne nightmare
Do, beg you, dear Rug try to induce our good
neghbors keep their hogs at home great will be
the trouble of our farmers in guarding their crops,
and much the disgust of our householders at their
selfinvted callers Werealy can't have pigs insisting
on being our friends without any introduction, and
reaping the benefits of the ''nucleus of refined
society," without any invitation. We don't mind
mich COW straying into our back yard of morning,
or goodlayng hen bunkng down with u.s. but we
must really draw the line at hogs Come to our aid,
l entreat you, and may your circulation meier grow
