The Hog Crop.

1t is the opinion of many that we
will have a large hog crop this year.
In these days, when half of the hogs
raised are marketed ut or under one
year of age, it does not take long to
make good shortage. 1t is true
that shortage of corn will very
soon make itself apparent In the
weight and general development of
stock, but it does not necessarily IN
terfere with the increase ia numbers.
and though the spring of 1881 was
generally very unfavorable, for pigs,
everything since has been in favor
of the breeder. The feeder, howev-
er, has been compelled to work on a
more economical basis, than usual,
and many a lot of hogs that should
have been kept gaining by full feed
ing. has been allowed, or rather
compelled, to root hog or die" sure
enough. At the present time we
are getting liberal runs of good hogs.
from 10000 to $4,000 per day at
this point, and the indications do
not point very strongly to amy very
serious falling off in the crop of
marketable hogs for the spring and
summer. A fact to be borne in
mind, however, il that prices have
recently advanced to tempting fig
ures-as high as 81 for extra heavy
hogs-well calculated to draw strong
ly on the available hog erop.-Dro-
rer's Journal.

Who Are Your Friends.

If you want to find out how
many friends you have, just get u
good long spell of serious illness
not an accurate disease that rouses
a transient sympathy, but a spell OF
weeks or months in bed, when you
have nothing to say to amuse peo-
pie, and need rather to absorb vi
tality than to give it. That is the
time when your friends are all over
whelmed with affairs of their own.
While you are well and strong, can
entertain and make your home
pleasant, your friends all think SO
much Of you that they can't stay
away, but when you are sick, Is
wonderful how their engagements
increase. They really have not an
hour they can call their own, if that
hour is to be devoted to diversifying
the tedium of a sick room. Occa-
sionally, however, some unseltsh
soul will remember that it is hard,
when sickness lays you low, to feel
those to whose pleasure you have
ministered while in health have to-
tally forgotten you, and makes an
effort to write note of sympathy,
or leave card. Even this is better
than nothing, and here and there
one NAV be found who will remem-
Der past pleasant associations, and
endeavor by present kindness and
friendly attention to keep that mem-
ory warm.

Sandwich Islanders i'm Swimming.

Our guide had arranged for an ex-
hibition of the swimming powers OF
the natives, and upon our arrival
we found several men on the side OF
the fall where we took our stand,
while upon the other bank stood six
or seven dusky maidens. The wa
ter tumbles over series of natural
bridges commencing high up in the
mountain range. The main fall is a
sheet about twenty yards wide, and
with other smaller streams falls into
a circular basin beneath at a depth
of at least 100 feet. A series ofrude
declivities have been cut by the ma
tives to a depth of sixty or seventy
feet. to enable visitors to witness
their watery gambols. Our party
were perfectly astonished at the way
in which these Kankas disported
themselves in the water. Divested
of all clothing, both men and wom-
en- would dive into the basin or pool
to depth of thirty or forty feet. A
coin thrown into the water would
be brought up with the greatest ra-
pidity. Some of the girls look up a
position on a rock which, to judge
bv eve measurement, was at least
sixty feet high, and jumped into the
basin with their bodies in rigid po.
sition. Others again assembled to
the top of the fall and came down
with the water in its descent. Nc
small wonder, indeed that the Kama
kas are able to conquer the sharks
which they do by getting under
their belly and ripping it open.

A Guiteau smypathizer Punished

DEraoIr. Jan. 26.-Quite an ex-
citement was stirred up il, the Op-
era House last night. where Mr..
Lennon, a magician, was exhibit
ing. Between performances the re-
suit of Guiteau's trial was announc-
ed, when the audience atonce broke
into loud applause, in the midst of
which the noise of hiss from the
gallery was heard. As soon as the
signs Of appreciation subsidized Il lit
tie the hiss became more audible
aad there were cries of condemna-
ton. A special officer Instantly dis.
covered the man who was kissing,
and stepping dcwn the aisle advised
him to desist. This attracted atten-
ton to him. and before the officer
could get him out of the theatre a
crowd of men and boys near by
pitched upon the offender. The
fellow was badly cut and bruised By
his patriotic assailants, and was re-
moved with great difficulty. He
managed to help himself as soon as
put out side of the building.

Ingersoll's Tribute To the Peaceful
Rest OF the Grave.

Mr.. and Mrs. George O. Miller bur-
led babe IN the Washington Con-
y,es sional Cemetery few days ago,
And before the little white coffin
was lowered into the grave, Robert
G.. lngersoll delivered the following
address
My FRIENDS IL know how vain
it is to gid a grief with words, and
yet / wish to take from every grave
its fear. Here in this world. where
life and death are equal kings, all
should be brave enough to meet
what all the dead have met. The
future has been filed with fear,
stained and polluted by the heart
less past. From the wondrous tree
of life the buds and blossoms fall
with ripened fruit, and in the com.
mon bed of earth the patriarchs and
babes sleep side by side.
Why should we fear that which
will come to all that is ? We cannot
tell, we do not know which is the
greatest blessing-life or death. We
cannot say that death is not a good.
We 40 not know whether the grave
! j. the end of this life or the door o1
another, or whether the night here
| is not somewhere else a dawn
Neither can we tell which is the
more fortunate child dying in
| its mothers arms before its lips have
learned to form a word, or he who
journeys all the length of lite's un-
even road, painfully taking the last
slow steps with staff and crutch.
Every cradle asks us whence p
and every coffin "Wither ?" The
poor barbarian, weeping above its
dead, can answer these questions as
intelligently and satisfactorily as
the robed priest of the most authent.
ic creed. The fearful ignorance OF
the one is just as consoling as the
learned and unmeaning words OF
the other. No man, standing where
the horizon of life has touched a
grave, has any right to prophesy a
| future filed with tears and pain. II
may be that death gives all there Is
of worth to life. If those we pres:
and strain against our hearts could
never die perhaps that love would
wither from the earth. May be this
common fate treads from out oul
hearts the weeds Of selfishness and
hate. and had rather live and love
where death is king than have eter'
nal life where love is not. Another
life is naught, unless we know and
love again the ones who know us
here.
They who stand with breaking
hearts around this grave need have
no fear. The larger and nobler faith
! in all that is and is to be tells US
that death, even at its worst, IS only
perfect rest. We know that through
the common wants of life-the needs
and duties of each hour-their grie1
will lessen every day until at last
this grave will be to them place OF
rest and peace-almost of joy. There
is for them this consolation. The
dead do not suffer. If they live
again their lives will surely be as
good as ours. We have no fear
We are all children of the same
mother and the same fate awaits us
all. We. too, have our religion. ano

Snail We Join the Ladies.

Brave would be the man Of posi-
ton who would dare to return TO
the grand old days of simplicity
and sincerity-days of plain roast
and boiled without a dozen wines
to disorganize the stomach, or 20
dishes TO distract the attention !;
DAYS when men an women met to
Interchange ideas, as at Holland

not always sigh with relief when

present fashion of Immediately join

frs, place scarcely see the necessi-
tv for the ladies leaving the dinner
table so early. 1t is a relic of bar
barous ,hree-bottle age, when men

municative, nextargumentative, next
altogethery, and then drunk" But
row the case is altered /; and if the
ladies must press the fingers OF
their gloves after the first round OF
the decanters and withdraw why
must the gentlemen at once rush af-

not want us. They are busy about
their neighbors, or may be quizzlng
