w. Mattieu Williams says that he
once witnessed a display of drunken
ness among 800 pigs which had been
given a barrel of spelled elderberry
wine all at once with their swill.
Their conduct was intensely human,
exhibiting all the Sual manifestations
of jolly good-fellowship including that
advanced stage where a group were
rolling over each other and granting
affectionately in tones that were dis
tinctively expressive of swearing good
fellowship all around. Their reeling
and staggering and the expression of
their features all indicated that alco-
hol had the same effect on pigs as on
men; that under its influence they both
stood upon the same geological level. !"
He quotes also MN. BujardinBeaumetz
and Auderidge's account to the French
Academy of Sciences of their expert
ments during three years on the effect
of alcoholic diet on pigs. Eighteen
of these animals were treated sumptu-
ously according to old-fashioned no.
tons of hospitality, by mixing various
alcohols with their food, in proportions
of about modest half pint of wine at
dinner. The alcohols that we drink in
wine, malt liquors, whisky, Hollands,
brandy, ETC., invariably produced sleep,
prostration, and general lassitude,
while absinthe Included as another
form of alcohoD produced an excita-
ton resembling epilepsy. Some of the
animals died from the effects of alco-
holic poison. The others were killed
and subjected TO a post mortem exami-
nation. All were found TO be injured,
but the mischief was greater where
crude spirits were used, less where it
was carefully redistilled and purified. "

A Washington Shylock.

As Mr.. Hardup Erasor is not pos
sessed of any real estate, whereupon
he can put an improvement in the
shape of a mortgage in time of finan-
cial need, he is compelled to have re-
course to brokers. Last week Mr..
Hardup needed some money, and after
persuading friendly Cresus to
scratch his name on the back of note,
Mr.. Hardup made his way to a broker s
office.

said Atf. Hardup.

''whr 4 your indorSer?"
MIR. Hardup showed the note. The
broker took it and counted him out

count"

wonderfully kind; but will you tell me
what l would nave gotten if I had

Gotten said the broker: "why,
you wouldn't have received ANYTHING.
You would have had to pay me forty
dollars"
Mr.. Hardup took his note back, and
as he went out to find another lender
the broker went into the next room to
see if the earth was still there with q
string tied to it.

The Theory Of Animal Evolution.

Until after the death of the late Mr..
Cha es Darwin l had never paid much
attention to the theory of man S descent
with which his name is so prominently
connected. The honors paid to his
name and due to his indefatigable re-
search and extensive knowledge, far
more than to soundness of his reason
ing, led me to examine his principal
works, the Descent of Man" and the
Origin of Species" Having studied
them with great care, and, as trust,
with candor. was induced to examine
in the same spirit the writings of MIR.
Herbert Spencer on the subject of evo-
luton, with which / had also been pre-
viously unacquainted, excepting in a

good deal surprised at the extent and
character of Mr.. Spencer's reputation
as thinker and BY the currency which
his peculiar philosophy has reached in
this country, where it has led, among
the young and inexperienced as well as
among older persons, TO very incorrect
habits OF reasoning on some subjects of
the highest importance. The result of
nv studies of these writers, extending
through two pretty long summer vaca-
tons from professional labors, was q

implies demonstration. and there has
rarely been a physical theory pro-
nounced which has been accepted on
so little of what can be regarded as
demonstration as this theory of animal
evolution. George Iichnor Curtis in

Group. A Mothers Tribute.

"While in the country last winter my little
boy. three years old, was taken ill with Group;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
TO our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the CHERRY PICTORIAL had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. EMMA GEDNEY."

OConnell's Duel.

An account of the famous duel, in
which the celebrated Irish orator and
lawyer shot his antagonist dead, is
given to the new Boston paper, Every
Other Saturday. 1t will be remem-
bered that O'Connen, although in
dulging often in the most severe at
tacks on others, declined dueling, and
publicly avowed this determination.
This gave rise to charge of coward
ice-in Ireland very rare and detri-
mental accusation. He was in fact a
man of great personal courage, and
showed it on the occasion referred to.
A gentleman named D'Esterre endeav-
ored to fasten quarrel on him, and he
vainly endeavored to avoid an encoun-
ter. The unfortunate D'Esterre paid
for his perverseness with his life, and
the still more unfortunate O'Connen
expiated his moral timidity, in not re-
fusihg the duel. with much mental an
guish to his death. There is no doubt
that he most reluctantly engaged in
the combat. He was the father of
seven children. and it was an alterna-
tive of life or death with him. DIES
terre being reputed an unerring marks
man. An account of the duel was
given by Charles Phillips, the celebrated
Irish orator who recently died.
Being one of those who accompan-
led O'Connell, he beckoned me aside to
a distant portion of very large field.
which had slight covering of snow.

not personal but political affair.

adopt false pretense to cut me off,

oned without their host, Ipromise you.
| am one of the best shots in Ireland at
a mark, having, as a public man, con-
sidered it duty to prepare, for my
own protection, against such unpro-
voked aggression as the present. Now,
remember what | say to you. | may
be struck myself, and then skill is Out
of the question, but if | am not my
antagonist may have cause to regret
his having forced me into this con-
fict.' The parties were then very soon
placed on the ground, at, think,
twelve PAGES distance, each having a
case of pistols, with directions to fire
when they chose after a given signal.
D'Esterre rather agitated himself by
making short speech, disclaiming all
hostility to his Roman Catholic coun-
trymen, and took his ground, some
what Electrically crossing his pistols
upon his bosom. They fired almost to.
gether, and instantly on the signal.
D'Esterre fell, mortally wounded.
There was the greatest self-possession
displayed by both. 1t seemed to me
a duty to narrate these details in
O'Connell's lifetime whenever / heard
his courage questioned, and justice &c
his memory now prompts me to record
them here"

He Thought Resurrection Day Had
Come.

1t was at White Sulphur Springs in
1861 think it was '68-but any way.
General Robert E. Lee and General
Rosecrans and other distinguished men
were there at the time, consulting as to
the best method of reconciling the
North and South, and bringing about
much needed peace and harmony in
the nation. One day the stage-coach
drove up in front of the hotel, and out
of one door of it stepped a newspaper
man named Hanna. He was long,
and so thin in body that he offered nc
particular obstruction to the passage
of light. The thickest thing about
him was shock of red hair that hung
down on each side of his face, cover
ing his ears and framing his cadaver-
Gus countenance. He wore long linen
buster about as large around as an
umbrella case. AS he climbed out on
one side of the stage Aleck Stephens
climbed out of the other, and the two
started up toward the hotel together.
One of the boys at the hotel pointed at
them and called out: Look here!
Here comes the vanguard of the resur-
rectiOn.'

Chess is often mentioned as the ia
vorite game of the great generals, di-
plomats and scholars; but the simpler,
though perhaps not less pleasing, game
of checkers must have its innings ON
that score too. Not only did Plato use
it for philosophical illustration, and
Cicero turn to it for mental diversion,
and Frederick the Great spend hours
over it, but liz later days such leaders
of men as Lincoln and Garibaldi priced
it highly; and it is said that, as his
namesake's place in Ithaca was the
scene of many checker-contests, so
General Grant used to "clean out the
boys" at West Point at it. and indeed
ascribes much of his military success
to the trimming of the sixty-four squares.
