A Wayne County Hog Survives Six Months
Imprisonment in Straw Stack
Good Example of Father Walsh
INDIANA.

A Hog Imprisoned in a Straw-Staclx Six
Months, and SHn Alive.
Special to the IndfanapoliS Journal
DUBLIN, Aug. &C. B. Hollinswoth, living
just west of town, missed hog about the last
of January. On the 9Th of this month Mr.. Hol-
linsworth was hauling manure from around a
strawstack, and, hearing a hog grunting, traced
the sound, and found it came from wi thin the
old stack. A search was made, and, after cut.
ting some four or five feet into the
stack, he found the hog which was yet
alive, with considerable vigoro of health. When
missed it would have weighed $50 or l60 pounds;
when taken from the stack it weighed not more
than eighty or ninety pounds. A visit to the
hogs prison showed an excavation some six or
eight feet square, and the animal evidently had
to subsist on straw and the moisture from the
ground and the little rain that oozed through
the stack The hog was bleached, and its skin
was tender and white. Since it was taken out
it has eaten little, but will probably survive
The animal fell through from the top into the
hole or excavation.

ButtermlIk with His soup

Gen Sheridan tells this story about Hor-

leans when Mr.. Greeley came there on his
tour when.a candidate for the Presidency.
The old Creole residents gave him a dinner,
and to make it as fine an affair as possible,
each of the many hosts was laid under contri-
button for some of the rarest wines in his
cellar. When dinner was announced and
the half shell oysters had disappeared, the
waiter appeared at Mr.. Greeley's seat with a
plate of beautiful shrimps You can take
them away, he said to the waiter and then
he added apologetically to the Mortified old
Creole gentleman who presided 4 never
eat insects of any kind Later on a soup
was served and at the same time glass Of
delicious white wine was placed at Mr. Gree
ley's right hand. He pushed it aside quietly,
but not unobserved by the chief host. DO
you not drink wine p he asked. No, an
swered Mr.. Greeley, Il never drink any liq-
uors' Is there any thing you would like to
drink with your soup?' the host asked, lit

CANELs AS LoooMoTIyEs-It is reported
that cars drawn by camels aro to be employ
ed upon the railway which Russis is now con-
structing across the Kara Koum, Black Sand,)
or Desert of Khiva, from the eastern coast of
the Caspian Sea toward Kizil Arvat and Ask
abad. This is certainly a novel employment
for the "ship of the desert, but on the por-
tion of the completed line which is still un-
traversed by locomotives the camel will un-
doubtedly be of considerable service. In sew
eral parts of the post trail which crosses the
northern end Of the Kara-Koum Desert, skirt
ing the Sea of Aral, camels are advantageous
ly substituted for horses. AS TO the harness
ing Of the camel to car, it is quite com
mon sight in some parts of India In the
streets of Allahabad one may frequently meet
large omnibuses with a kind of upper deck
in addi ion to the usual accommodation, and
drawn by two camels apiece. Even the post
chaises of western Bengal are sometimes
drawn by camels instead of horses, and as a
rule, these curious steeds are found to work
very well.

Herbert spencer. Fidelity TO PrIneI.

Whatever the final estimate of Herbert
Spencer's philosophy, it will never be denied
that he has guided his own life with rare f.
delity both to lofty purpose and to the prin-
cipes he proclaims. One of his cardinal eth
ical doctrines is that the sole Legitimate func-
tions of the state are the national defense, the
maintenance of the peace, and the enforce
ment of contracts. These functions and no
others arc absolutely essential to the preserva-
ton Of the social organization, and to compel
the citizen TO pay taxes for any other pur-
pose, however good in itself-as a state church
or a free library-is TO forcibly take his susie
nance for an object not imperatively necessa.
ry, and is therefore a violation Of moral law
Such doctrine, of course, brings Mr.. Spen-
Ger into immediate conflict with practical pol
iticians of every party, and he has made more
than one great personal sacrifice in defense Of
1t. Several years ago when influential friends,
headed by John Stuart Mill, endeavored to
secure him q government Office which would
yield a moderate income and enable him to go
on with his system of philosophy, their eff
forts were defeated by this strictness of his
views. Not many months ago he declined the
profered honor of a membership of the In
stitute of France, because that renowned
body is supported by the government and to
that extent immoral. And now he declines
to be Liberal candidate for parliament be-
cause he could not agree TO be a mere dele
gate, but should always act on his own judg-
ment, which would bring him into perpetual
conflict with his constituents. So he is likely
to die as he has lived, plain Herbert Spencer,
bearing no degree from any university, and
no political or honorary title, but in the judg-
ment of many leading thinkers the greatest
power in the intellectual world since Aristotle.
The papers on the political tendencies of the
times on which he is at present engaged prom
ises to be of the deepest interest. The next
OF the series will be entitled "The Coming
Slavery" and will undertake to show that the
European and American nations are drifting
rapidly into state socialism under which indi
vidual liberty will almost disappear, life be-
ing brought completely under official regula
tion. -SprinQtieH Union.

That bitter days shall cease

That winter yields to spriug:
