Dr. Tanner,s Opinion Of HOGS.

From a Letter to the Cleveland Herald.
1t is my firm belief that pork eaters have las
rule) no part nor lot in that inheritance that
is incorruDtible and undeiled, and that fadeth
not away" Why? Because they are continual
~ pandering to the animal, and the animal
hounds out the seraph. We are told in the
Scriptures that "the legion of DEVILS when
cast out of the Gadarene, asked permission to
enter into herd of swine. They were per
mitted to do SO, and finding the hogs congenial
companions, and finding withal that they were
left in peaceable possession, they have I'M
doubleday remained with them to this day,
finding them very convenient vehicle by
which to find ingress into other animals of
the biped species. An habitual pork eater, 1
fear, can never comprehend the significance of
the words 'The kingdom of heaven is within
you" for there can be no heaven where pork
devils hold riot and high carnival continually,
and the appetite calls three times day for
pork, more pork, which when interpreted sim
ply means reinforcements. All such would bet
Ter comprehend the great twin truth, the
kingdom OF hell is within you. The Jews have
ever held pork as an article of food in the low
est possible esteem: On this question they are
this reason, and this only, that the Jews were
called chosen people" and were SO much
richer in Spiritual gifts'' than the Gentle
world. Now there are protesting Christians
! Wno WIN get up from breakfast table with
their stomachs filled to repletion with .hog
and hominy,' and go at once to the family
altar, and on Bonded knees cry: Lord, Lord!
Now shall not assume that God does not an
swer the prayers OF pork eater. There is no
doubt little of the "grace of Cod in their
hearts, but if they have INDUCED Ia pork diet
every day for number of years it will,
think, be safe to assume that they have at
least seven devils secretly intrenched in their
lives. The house is thus divided against itself.
The spirit of God in the mans or womans
heart prompts him or her to cry, Lord, Lord
The seven devils in liver prompt continually
to an indulgence of their swinish propensities
"Of such is the kingdom of Heaven" has no
reference to those who transform the earthly
tybernacle designed for temple of the living
God) into hog pen.

Mr.. Blaine's Book.

The announcement that Mr.. Blaine is en-
gagged in writing the history of Congress
from 1851 to 1881, the history of our politics
from the accession of Lincoln to the access
sion of Garfield, is received with lively inter-
est The ability Of the author and his init
mate acquaintance with the events he un-
dertakes to describe are unauestioned, and
his experience as journalist will stand him
In good stead in the arrangement of his ma
terial. The book, it is said, will make two
octave volumes. There will be an elaborate
introduction, reviewing the causes which led
to the political revolution of 1860. The
main work will probably be divided into two
parts: First, the eight years of Lincoln's
and Johnson's administration, dealing with
the war, emancipation and reconstruction;
second, the twelve years Of. Grants aud
Hayes's administrations, dealing with the
Southern State Governments, the wrongs
upon the ballot box, the Enforcement acts,
currency and railroad questions, the Alaba-
ma Claims, annexation, Civil Service Re-
form, ETC., etc. This main portion of the
book will, of course, have the aid of Mr..

OF. This will make its appearance an event
Of National Importance, especially as it is
understood that the history is to be COM

any particular side or phase of the anti-slay-

the ease with most of the histories written
thus far.

ers say, be an inside view of ma
tional legislation and policy during the
civil war and the period of recovery
from its immediate effects; and will deal
with secession, the conduct of the war,
emancipation, reconstruction, amnesty
civil rights, the tariff, internal revenue, cur
rency and banking systems, viii CHI enabled
the government to bear the financial bur
dens of the war, resumption and refunding,
Impeachment, Alabama claims, the electoral
commission, silver coinage, civil service re-
form, and host of other important topics
which came up in Congress during that mo-
mentous period. The work will be inter
spersed with "reminiscences of the men who
were intimately identified with the policy of
the times, and with whom Mr.. Blaine was
intimately associated. And there will be
long and elaborate introduction, already
completed, treating of the remote and i'm
mediate causes of the war. The plan is to
divide the work into two volumes: the first
containing its introduction, and also cover
ing Lincoln's and Johnson's administra-
tions; and the other embracing Grant s two

touch the administration side of the govern
ment as well as the congressional: and in
stead of dealing with isolated typographical,

like Sherman's, Badeau's, writ
ings, 1t will be general and comprehensive.

THE secret service men complain that the
new five cent coin is nuisance because in
the hands Of counterfeiters it can be made
to resemble half-eagle. 1t certainly is en-.
tirely unnecessary. No general complaint
has been made Of the nickel, and the money
used in the design, material and manufac-
ture of the new coin is money wasted.
Whoever suggested the change did an abb

Pennsylvania papers tell about young
woman Of Bradford county, who went be-
fore justice of the peace with the man of
her choice and several witnesses, and made
herself a wife, satisfactorily to herself, by
ingle promise of fidelity, claiming nothing
from her spouse as legal right, and insisting
upon no ceremony. There were no VOWS
given under the form of the law, and no
pledges. The justice took no part in the
marriage, but sat in the room only as wit
ness. As for the young woman of Bradford
County, she showed great deal of conf
denoe in her man, and great deal of fool
ishness in herself.

IT is said that the Count de Chambord has
prepared another manifesto, which will
presently be published, and in which we may
assume that the French people will be ex.
horted to rally round the white flag and the
feur de lis. AS the Count seems to be pos
sessed of the idea that he can win the throne
of his ancestors through the agency of a
manifesto and without the use of any more
practical means, even NJ. Floquet will
scarcely be alarmed at the intended demon
stration. The Count de Chambord is a
harmless and somewhat picturesque anach
ronism, who is only noteworthy as politi
cal curiosity.

HOWARD AND HAMPSTEAD
RIOTERS.

Next Monday has been set
apart by the court in Howard
county to try the forty~two col
ored men held in prison there.
under an indictment by the grand
jury of that county for murder in
the second degree, thing unpre
cedented in any free or Christian
country. Our advice to every one
of those men is to take a change
of venue to some county where
the color prejudice is not so
strong. A the law allows every
man u trial by an impartial jury,
we hope their friends will see to
it that every case is changed. It
was nothing more nor less than a
riot, in which one white man and
three blacks were killed. Why
should the blacks be charged
with murder and the whites 60
scott free. Not a single white
| man has been arrested. A great
many persons are clamoring at
the governor; they think that be
has the power to have them re-
leased, but we see it in a little diff
ferent light from most of the
colored people. We think if he
had any such power 1t has passed
out of his reach now, until the
courts have det ided according to
the indictments. Then ifeXecutive
clemency could be invoked it is
in the prerogative Of the COVER
nor to pardon them, rs we think
our governor is too good n man
to allow color prejudice to govern
his motives. If those people are
thus convicted, it will make a
black spot in the history of Ar
kansas that cannot be eradicated.

of that little commonwealth, and
setting forth the considerations
which influenced his people in re-
stricting the exercise of the elec-
toral prerogative. DIR Norvin
Greene President of the western
union company, in an article en-
titled "TEe Government and Tel
egraph," cites the provisions OF
the federal constitution and the
determinations Of the supreme
court which appear to debar the
general government from assum-
ing the management OF the tele-
graph lines; and presents statis-
tics designed to prove that the
service in this country Is both
cheaper and more efficient than in
any of the countries of Europe
where the government own the
lines. The Rev. David N Utter
brings out from oblivion the rec
ord of certain alleged attrocious
crimes OF 81 ohm Brown of Osawa-
