Hog'ioide.
[Clinton Democrat Feb. 81

lClinton Democrat Feb. 8.
One day last week colored man
named Labarier living in the eastern
part Of the country, called in two or
three of his colored neighbors to as
sist him in killing hogs. The work
was finished late in the evening and
the porkers left hanging on a pole in
the yard overnight. In the morning
Labarier went out into the yard OH
arising to see about his meat, and
d scovered that he was one hog short,
some one having carried one away
during the night. Going to his yard
fence Labarier saw an object some
distance away that appeared to be a
man leaning against the fence, and
went there to see what it was. Cn
reaching the spot to his astonishment
and horror he discovered that the
object he had seen was indeed man,
leaning against the fence cold and stiff
i'll death. 1t seems that the dead
man was the party who stole Labari-
er's hog: that ON removing it from
the eud of the pole on which it was
left hanging, the thief left the gamb-
ling stick fastened in its feet, and in
getting over the fence, where found,
he had slipped and Iallen, the hog, in
falling from his shoulder, going to
the opposite side of tho fence, the
gambling stick catching his head
and forcing it down against the top
rail, hanging him OH one side with
the hog suspended on his neck OH the
other side. IH ?
We have heard of thieves beng
caught in the act of their crimes in
many ways, but never before heard
of one being hung by dead hog.

A youth living near Vance's Mill
informed us that he once had dog
which, when six months old, rushed
upon a gang Of partridges and not on
ly killing six of them but swallowed
five whole, bills, feet, feathers and all
before he could get to him; so his
owner, and partner on the hunting
expedition, got only one out of the

nephew of Mr.. Miller was taken i'll

fore his death, as is customary
among some, they turned the look

there was picture of all eagle Just

Painful Ulcers.

My mother, who is about seventy
five years old, and a resident of
Dooly county, had an liberated ankle
which gave her great pain and trouble.
1t became aggravated to fearful de-
gree, and every application of known
or suggested remedies failed to bring
relief. Physicians prescribed, but to
no avail. After six months suffering

producing perfect cure, and there
has been no return of the disease.

For the New Life.

Thousands of weary women are
longing for new life. They are worn
out and about halfdead. With hearty
interest let them read what Mrs.
Jenney writes from North Charles
town, N. H., "The fame of Browns
Iron Bitters has reached from Mary
land to our quiet little village, and
can recommend it for the new life it
imparts when feeling tired and worn
out. 1t gives me new strength and
energy" The records of good accom-.
plished in this direction by Browns
Iron Bitters would fill volumes.

on August l4th, twodays after Arab

and the rebellion was practically at
an end. The British ParIahen
rewarded Wolselcy with a grant of
E50,000 for his services, and by the
Queen he was created Baron W0lseley
of Cairo and of Wolseley in the
country Of Stafford. After receiving
these faltering honors he lived in
their quiet enjoyment, until the
rescue of General Gordon from
Khartoum was entrusted to him.
Opinions vary greatly as to Wolse-

and there can be no question as TO
his pre-eminent good-fortune.

Wednesday night with the startling
intelligence that the Arab rebels in
the service of El Mahdi captured
Khartoum, the capital of Soudan, as
long ago as last Monday week, Jan

filled Great Britain with apprehen-

of the English army under Stewart,
near Metemneh, under Earl at Britt,
on the great bend of the Nile, and
under Wolseley at Korti, nearly 800
miles north of Khartoum. Army Of
ficers are telegraphing applications
TO the London War Office for assign
ment TO the rescuing force, which,
it is supposed, the Government will
carry forward at once. But Wolseley

night there were good mnny strangers
in town as there was an entertainment
at the hall and the county congress was
in session. Consequently business was
unusually good at the wet goods estab-
ishments. As John Phillips was about
to close his place at 10 o'clock large
number of his patrons, just from the
show, presented themselves and John
did not like to turn them off. The CON
sequence was a fine and costs amounting

VIII the Canada Pacific Hallway
PAY?

George NJ. Grant contributes an in
teresting paper on the Canada Pacific
Railway to The Century for October.
From it we quote the following: but
what will u railway get to do in this
great sea of mountains? For along
those five hundred miles of road on the
mainland, constructed at so enormous
cost, the population, not counting
Indians and Cinnamon, is less than ten
thousand. The British Columbia claim
that portion of the Asiatic trade will
come their way, especially as the COM
pany that is building the road has an
nounced its intention of putting on
steamers to connect the Pacific termi-
nus with the ports of Japan and China;
and they also point to their fish, their
mines of silver and gold, and their for
ests. as the complement of the prai-
ries OF the Northwest. All their hopes
and dreams cluster around the railway,
and those whom it does not enrich will
feel that they have right to be disap-
pointed. They ignore the fact that the
people of the Northwest or any other
country can afford to pay only GER
tain price for fish or flesh. galena, gold,
or anything else, and that if it cannot
be supplied at said price it must be for
them all the same as if it were non-ex-
istent. They fancy that the difficulty
the province has to contend with is not
the comparatively small amount of
arabic land. or the necessity for irriga-
ton in districts otherwise good, or the
intervening mountains, or the canons
that prevent river navigation, or the
cost OF transportation, or the great dis
tances, but simply the presence of some
thousands of industrious Cinnamon. If
Cinnamon could only be kept out white
people would come, and wages would
go up and keep up. Good prices would
then be obtained for everything. and
every one could live comfortable

"A Lost Characteristic.

At one time of day most children
been taught this as tradition of the
race, and, carrying our memories back
half century, we can bear corrobora-
tive testimony to the fact. We can re-
member feeling very. shy ourselves,
even at the age of seven. We should
never have thought of speaking till we
were spoken to, or coming without be-
ing called, or of assaulting the central
plum cake, or of asking the lady on
whose knee we sat how old she was
and how much money she had, There
were many pauses in the conversation
when we went into society at that age,
and met other shy little people. The
overtures of acquaintanceship between
children used to be very slow and ten
tative; we remember particularly ex-
changing sweets with 4-year old in a
blue sash, long before we dared ask
her what her name was, and long be-
fore she dared tell us our hair was
rough. Children then required en-
couraging and bringing forward.
But nowl The shy child has disap-
peared. We have boisterous masters
and misses, and we have quiet, self
possessed ones; some are very unruly,
and some are very iractable; but none
are shy. Some Pied Piper of Hamelin
has been round and played all the shy
ones away. Similarly, at more adj
vanced age it used to be serious ex-
hortation to young men and maidens
to overcome shyness. 1t was preached
to them that bashfulness was a bar to
social intercourse ard TO mental inn
provement, and they were instructed
how to acquire an easy manner; but ali
these exhortations which we find re-
peated constantly in old manuals for
the modelling Of conduct read like so
much sarcasm now You may look
round where YOU will among youths,
but that black swan, the shy youth,
has migrated for good. You lind

clent youths; many aggressive youths.

COM NJ ERCIAL.
OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO. November II. 1885.

CHICAGO, November n 1856
The receipts of wheat here to-day
were 30,579 bushels; stocks of wheat
in the United States and destined for
Great Britain and the continent on
Nov. 9th aggregated 66,384,0O0 bush
els an increase of 594, 900 bushels more
than the same time last year. Stocks Of
corn were 5,710,000 bushels, a decrease
of $4,000 bushels from last week, and
6lS,0 bushels for the same time last
year. Wheat to-day was very exciting,
going first up and then down, on ac-
count of the war reports from Europe.
This market was the center Of attraction
and it finally closed weak, and the offer
ings more than kept pace with the re-
quirements. Trading was Of specula-
tive character and there was good deal
of realizing.
Corn is moderately active but devoid
Of any striking feature. The late ad-
vance is more than lost. Larger re-
ceipts are expected as the weather is
clear and cold.
Oats are quiet, and the sales too mea-
ger to establish any change in the rates.
Rye is dull, bat frmer Barley is ac-
tive and in fair request for mailing,
brewing and shipping purposes.
Trade in the cattle market is rather
slow. Buyers complain about the poor
quality of the arrivals, which were COM
posed mostly of the poorer classes of
Texans. Dealers, however, anticipate a
good trade for the coming week, but
prices are rather easy on the ordinary
run of fat cattle.
In the face of the immense run for
the day and prospect Of large run
for ali the week, the market opened
steady but closed easier Some of the
large shipping firms were not operating
so extensively to-day as heretofore, and
prices were inclined to be weak.
Trade in the sheep market is dull,
and the pens are oyerstocked with poor
and low-grade stock.

REPUBLICAN GAINs.-A few weeks
