The Hog Ate Dynamite.

A gentleman remarked: Talk about
dynamite: I can tell you true story of
what nitro-glycerine once did in our
State. It was out near Prairie du
Chem, where they were blasting a cut
on the Prairie du Chem division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul Road.
The contractor had several kegs of the
stuff in an underground place. One
day workman went to get some and
left the place open; by and by some
hogs came along, and one Of them slip
ped into this place where the combusti-
BILE itself was kept. The hog found a
keg open, and as glycerine is as sweet
almost as honey the animal filled HIM
self. He came out by and by and soon
wandered into stable near by belong
ing to the contractor. The hog got
fooling around among the horses hind
legs, when one of them drew off
and gave Mr.. Hog good one. The
conclusion started the business, and
not vestige was ever discovered Of the
hog, or single horse, or the stable.
And where the stable once stood there
was hole in the earth fifty feet deep
and not more than 200 feet in circum-
ference" There is q gentleman in this
city knowing to these facts.-1Iadison

A. Y,
Teaching q Prince.

During the war, 1t Will be remember
ed, Prince Potomac, OF France, came
over to assist the Confederacy. He
arrived at time when whisky mad be-
come scarce article, fact especially
lamented by the Arkansas troops. ane
night at al entertainment III Garden
Potomac was present, DIRE sad i'll his royl
gew-Gaws. IL drew 14asl1 attention,
and Gen. Shaver, app oaeiine Col.
Crockett, said:
Bob, is ,here an whisky III tie

"les, there's :. Jug full, down IN the
cellar"
Suppose We take tAe Prince below
and show him how We drink il Arkan-
sas?
"All right and approaching P Polonac,
he asked: How would s1ifter strike
you?"
"Snifter, I do not re honor OF his ac-
quaintance. tie no strike me, by gar!"
| Il mean how would drink of good
whisky strike?"
"Aw 2at, he strike me tine."
"Well, if you will consent to drink
Arkansas fashion, we will take you
down ana instruct You.
"LeaGs re way, Co'nel. follow him. !"
They conducted him to the cellar
! Crockett pulled the long corn-cob from
the Jug, took up the vessel and said j:
Pay strict attention" Then giving it
toss with one land and catching it
| with the other, he brought it down to
his mouth, counting three rs he did SO.
This performance was twice enacted,
| after which tie Prince was informed he
had received sufficient instruction. He
had paid close attention, believing that
| he was being introduced to rule Of
national politeness. He tossed the Jug,
/ precisely as Crockett aal done, counted
three and caught the neck of the earth
enware III his mouth. Removing his
/ lips, and while the water stood in his
ayes-for the whisky was awful-le,
said:
"Aw, how nice was him."
Again tossing the Jug and drinking,
he said:
saw, how do lof re ways of re Arkan-
saw" 80
He kept on tossing the Jug. Crockett
and Shaver looked at each other.
"Awp continued the Prince, "how
YER nice is zis."
@You've had enough, d it." said
Crockett; but the Prince, declaring that
he liked to practice the politeness of a
country, continued to toss the Jug. Then
they began to reason with him, but he
declared that politeness, like love, was
not founded upon reason. Then they
tried to take it away from him, but turn
ing away with the jug, he continued to
study the rules Of Arkansas etiquette.
Gen. Shaver swears that the student
drank at least quart; nor does it seem
that he limited the engagement to one
time only, for later ct night when Crock.
ett when down to get drink, the jug
was gone.-Arkansaw 7raveler.

THE room in the tower of London in
which Sir Walter Raleigh was SO long
imprisoned is ska tect in size, and so
low that it was impossible for Raleigh
to stand erect in it. The walls of the
room are eighteen feet in thickness,
and there is only one window, all open
ing 10x2O inches, from which the only
thing that can be seen is the blank wall
of an adjoining building. Here Raleigh
lived for fourteen years, never being
once out Of the room until the day on
which he Was taken to Great Tower
Hill to be beheaded.
IT is wonderful how times change.
Whittier was made editor Of the Hart
ford Rerieac because the retiring editor,
George D. Prentice. had received few
poems from him and was pleased with
them. Prentice recommended the then
unknown poet as his successor, and
Whittier secured the place. In this
agesof prose and pork and market re-
ports, a young man can't get an edi-
torial position, or, in fact, any position,
simply by sending in few spring
poems. Everybody has found this out
except the poets. They keep on trying.

IN False Teeth.

There is noting new under the sun,
repeats TIE al Nal Gazette, and not
even the modern inventor OF artificial
teeth can lay claim to the honor OF
having been the first to s9pp.y gap
toothed humanity with the >:lbttest Of
mastication knives. This has recently
been proved by italian antisiuarians,
who have discovered false teeth in a
skull which has been exeavated i'll an
ancient Etruscan cemetery with many
other curios t.es at present safely
slowed away At the Museum of AntiqHi-
ties at Corneto, i'll Tuscany. The
sepulcher out of which the skull was
taken dates. according to experts, from
the fifth or sixth century, 3. c., and
the false teeth are nothing but animal
teeth attached to the human teeth by
means of small gold plates.

Roast Pig.

The Senator from Kansas has read
that eloquent description Of Lamb in
which ho explained to the world the
discovery OF the exquisite flavor and
the inefable attraction of roast pig;
how on the vast steppes of Tartary
and in the borders Of China, where the
pig end the family resided in the same
bamboo house, when the FIRE came and
destroyed the house the family es-
capped, but the pig perished in the ru-
ms; and when this Chinese man, orlt this
Tartar man, whichever it may have
been, came to s"orch among the ruins
to find if anything was left, and, re-
moving the ashes, stuck his finger
accidentally into the body of the young
sucking roast pig. and cooling it in his
mouth; lie found how delicious the ac-
QUESTION was. He called his family,
lis wife and his children. or, as the Sen
ator from Kansas would SO delightfully."-
express it, his whole family circle, to
partake with him of the roast pig. After
that was consumed, and new bamboo
house builded, and new pigs acquired,
an increase of stock, inevitable fate, in
exorable destiny, compelled that China
man, when the pig had attained a suit
able size for roasting, to remove his
family and set fire to his building so as
to roast the pig. All over those vast
plains there was, on every still night,
the burning bamboo house of China
man who had learned how to acquire
roast pig by consuming his dwelling to
roast it.-Speech of Hon. George e..
Vest, L. S. Senate.
