Al Illinois correspondent of the Chicago
Times says For some time the hog cholera
has been quite severe ia this viciliiy--almost
reaching an epidemic in some localities
Many farmers have lost heavily, while others
have lost moro OF less. Some Of the heaviest
stock-raisers here have bore their loss and
kept their hogs ct home, and sold the dead
ones to the soap factories for what they |
could get; bat others, who care neither for
God, devil nor man, or who eats the disc sed |
meat, as soon rs the trouble breaks out, and |
they lose some of their porkors and the rest
become sick, have brought them to this city |
and shipped them to Chicago. Quite mum
Der have done this, and one man in pauicu-
lar who makes hog raising nearly his whole |
business, so much so, in fact, that he begins |
to resemble a "stag" himself, |
brought his animals to this
city few days sgo and shipped them TO
Chicago, some twelve or fifteen diving Of |
cholera on the way from his farm to town.
Some also died while leading them on the
cars, and others were found dead after arriv-
ing ut Chicago. And this is not tao only |
case that has happened here. Thsrs are
others almost equal to it. These hogs, sick |
and dying OF cholera, bringing disease and |
death to those who eat them, are being |
shipped from here and other places by car
loads to Chicsgo, there slaughtered ard
packed, and the hams cured aad the lard |
put up and sent back again for home con-
sumption. This sort Of traffic has become
so common that numbers Of the families who |
have used pork and lard for years have bo-
GENE afraid to buy it, and refuse 10 use it
under any circumstances.

An anacdote is related Of Mr.. Gladstone

not only sngularly characteristic of the man,
but it is capable Of being used as tho text
for many a profitable political sermon.
When tho present premier was in Italy, he

guest no was. 1t is hardly necessary to ssy
that his owu spaech was given in tho Italian
language, Of which no is notably o master;
