THE MEN WITH THE PIG.
How a Beast May Weigh Slightly More in
the Morning than at Night.

Detroit Free Press
A few days ago two men, who were afterward
found to be Detroiters, arrived in a town about
fifty miles to the west of this, leading pig. 1t
was perhaps big enough and heavy enough to be
called hog but they termed it a pig, and as
they turned it over to the care Of the landlord at
whose inn they progressed to rest for the night,
one of the men exclaimed
'Be awful careful with that pig. He's daisy
"a new breed just from Scotland. We've sold
him to farmer out here for $50, and we don't
want anything to happen to him"
The landlord locked the pig up and then began
to think. and cogtate and suspect. When the
strangers had gone to bed he called in some Of
the boys and said:
1--WE twigged the racket; them two fellows are
sharpers and that's guessing pig. Tomorrow
weight at ten cents guess, and you'll be cleaned
out-only you WON'T AS the fellows sleep we
viii, weigh their pig and beat their game"
Nobody slept until the pig was taken over to
the scales and weighed, He weighed Ito pounds
to a hair and the villagers went home and
hunted up their nickels, and dreamed of pigs and
scales and sharpers through the remainder Of
the night
Next morning the pig was led around in front,
and before starting off on his journey one of
the owners remarked to the assembled crowd:
Gentlemen, I'm going to weigh this pig di
rectly. Maybe some of you would like to guess
on his weight I'll take all guesses at ten cents
each, and whoever hits it gets fifty cents"
winks and smiles, but no one walked up until the
pig man said that any one person could guess as
many times as he cared to, provided dime &C
companied each guess. Then rush set in.
Three or four merchants put up fifty guesses
each A justice of the peace took thirty. A
lawyer said about twenty would do for him.
Before there was any let up in the guessing,
about 600 had been registered and paid for
Every soul of EN- guessed at ITO pounds. 1t was
curious what unanimity there was in the guess
ing but the pig men didn't seem to notice it.
When all had been given chance, the pig was
led to the scales, and lo his weight was exactly
liza pounds!
'FYou see, gentlemen" explained the spokes
man. while this animal only weighs 10 pounds
along about II o'clock at night, we feed him
about five pounds Of corn meal in the morning
before weighing! You forgot to take this matter
into consideration
Then somebody kicked the landlord, and he
kicked the justice, and the justice kicked the mer
chant, and when the pig men looked back from
a distant hill, the whole town was out kicking
itself and throwing empty wallets into the river.

When "Lady," When "Woman."

Pail Mall Gazette.
What distinction should be made between the
terms 'Hady" and 'woman9" This question
arises not unfrequently in London, where in the
slums every costermonger's wife is described as
the lady next door, and in France it is at present
one of the veXed questions of the day. Parisians,
With them every member Of the other sex is
always woman, while the squires of the prov
inces offended if their wives are called women.
Where, then, should the line be drawn9 1t would
sound strange to say 'the women of the ballet"
would be equally unfamiliar to say "a virtuous
LADY, or "a pretty lady" If town and country
can not agree on the point, it would perhaps be
well that the French Academy should speak
decisive word and lay down rules for the correct
use of the disputed terms.

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

Again we call the attention of our readers to the fact that the biennial sessions amend ment is soon to be voted on by the people. There are many reasons why it should be adopted It will save the taxpayers great deal of money. It will result in less and bet ter legislation. It will relieve the people of some of the political burdens which they now carry. Thirty-two States have tried the plan and in none of them is there desire to re- turn to the old way
 So far as we see, there is no good argu- ment against biennial sessions. But some people in this State, ignoring the experience of other States, profess to believe that if Connecticut should try to get along without annual sessions the result of the experiment would be very disastrous They say that the people retain more of their power when the legislature meets annually, and profess to be really afraid that if we have biennial sessions the liberties of the people will be encroached upon. This idea has been well answered by writer in the New York Evening Post, who said: Legislatures in any popular government must meet at certain intervals, but the chief reasons for the introduction of frequent ses- slons-JealouSy and dread Of the Execu-- tive and confidence in the representative body a guardian of popular rights against it-have long ceased to exist. No body, for instance, in New York dreads the governor. Everybody dreads the legislature. In fact, so far from relying on Major flag gerty and MT. Husted and their like to pro tect us against Governor Cleveland, we rely on his veto to protect against their work, and we elected him with view to this, and give him good salary and fine house, and long term, in order that he may save us from as many of their laws as possible. Even the legislatures power over taxes in our State, once relied upon to save the pub lie from the encroachments of the Executive, now often becomes an instrument of oppres- sion and corruption, and nobody wants to see it in operation any oftener than possible.
 There is not as much reason to lose faith in the legislature in this State there is in New York, but still the remarks of the Post writer have their application here. There are few people in this State who would be sad if the legislature should meet only once in two years, and some could even endure to live with session once in five years.
