Suffolk PIGS,
Among the small or middle races Of

Among the small OF middle races OF
English pigs breed occurs which is
close akin to the Essex-somewhat
larger in the body and shorter in the
leg. better haired and harder. A
standard authority thus describes them:
The Black Sufolks are short on tae
leg, long in the body. well coated with
long, silky hair, the forehead broad,
the nose short and slightly turned up;
ears rather short but broad, with ten
dency 10 droop forward; splendid
shoulders great jowlS. body wonder
fully symmetrical. The Suffolk more
nearly realizes the theory Of the paral-
telegram than any other animal we
know of The tail is set quite on a
level with his hi ps; the hams are deep
and wide" This is high praise. They
are also praised for the excellence of
their pork, freedom from skin diseases,
and general vigor of constitution. They
resemble the Essex in many points, and
are equally valuable for crossing upon
the larger breeds.
The really careful breeding of pigs,
and the preservation of pedigrees in
England, dates back but comparative
ly few years. Pigs took their names
from the counties in which they were
bred, and breeders or exhibitors at
shows called their pigs Suf1Olks or Nor
folks perhaps, SO it happened that
some white pigs that won prizes at the
shows, were imported to this country
under the name Of Sulolks. The pigs
were good and had quite a run. but
when we wanted more, we found that
Suflolks as recognized in England were
black, and that the high-brcd. small
white breed were the small Yorkshire.
which were. so to speak, Ike those we
were familiar with rs Sullolks, only
more SD. There have been occasional
importations of Black Suifolks, but we
know of no herd maintained and bred
pure. They probably have been cross
ed with the Essex, which they resem-
bic, and which have strong hold up
on the regard of our people. Ameri-

Conflicting Names of Battles.

Frequent allusion has been made to
this subject, and it has been prolific
cause of annoyance. For the benefit of
Chicago Ledgar readers we give Gem
eral ID. II. II lis version as found in
the Century:
The conflict of the I4th Of Septem-
Der, 1862, is called the battle of South
Mountain at the North, and the battle
of BoonsbOro' ut the South. So many
battletelds of the civil war bear double
names that We cannot believe the du-
plication has been accidental. Ii is the
Unusual which impresses. The troops
of the North came mainly from cities,
towns. and villages, and were. there
fore. impressed by some natural OBJ
lccts near the scene of conflict. and
named the battle from it, The soldiers
from the South were chiefly from the
country, and were, therefore. impressed
by some artificial object near the field
OF action. Ia one section the naming
has been after the handiwork of God;
in the other section it HIS been after
the handiwork of man. Thus the first
passage OF arms is called the battle of
Bull Run at the North-thc name of a
little stream. At the South il takes the
name of Manassas, from Il railroad sta
ton. The second battle on the same
ground is called the Second Bull Run
by the North. and the Second Manassas
by the South. Stones defeat is the
battle of Balls Bull W tn the Federals,
and the battle Of Leesburg with the
COnfederates. The battle called bv
General Grant Pittsburgh Landing, a
natural object, was named Shiloh. aft
er church. by his antagonists. Rose
Grams called his first great battle with
Bragg the battle of Stone River, while
Bragg named it after Murfreesboro', a
village. So McClellan's battle of Chick
ahominy, a little river. was with Lee
the battle of Cold Harbor. a tavern.
The Federals speak of the battle of Pea
Ridge rs the Ozark range of noun
tains. and the COnfederates call it after
Elk Horn, country inn. The Union
soldiers called the bloody battle three
lays after South Mountain from the lit
tie stream Antietam, and the Southern
'rOops named it after the village of
SharpSburg. Many instances might be
given of this double naming by the OPP
posing forces. - Chicago Lcdgcr.

Queen YictOria's Double.

Conversation a day or two since with Il
gentleman who has spent most OF his life
on the other side OF the Aelantic, and whose
opportunities OF seeing Queen Victoria have
been frequent and ample, elected some IN
expected information.N Answering some in
quiry in regard to her majesty, the gentle
man said: why, you have here in Hart
ford lady who looks almost exactly like
the queen-enough like her to be her twin
sister. The only notable difference is III
the color Of the hair. She is wonderfully
like the queen; the features, the expression
the form and pose OF the head, and the
general outline and actions are all like her
maiestys excepting the queen is trihe
shorter, little stouter, now, and perhaps
a little more flOrid; but the general resem-
blance is almost startling, and when this
Hartford lady smiles her expression is alb
solutely identical with the queens. The
queen, however, has what would, if left to
itself, be what we call red hair This
was a surprising piece of information
But" continued the gentleman, "the arts
OF her hair dresser have prevented this fact
from being apparent, and the queens hair
seems to be only what We would call
sandy"

Fancies OF Amateur Artists.

Young ladies are not painting plaques
and saucers as much MS they were. Like
almost everything that is the rage for
season or two and becomes familiar and
common, china painting "has had its
day" The amateur artistic fancy now
seems to incline III two directions-etching
and drawing on wood and linen and paint
ing on silk and other rich stuffs This
form OF decoration is greatly in vogue
Pen and ink and sepia sketches on little
wooden ornapents and on bits of linen
used for chair Tides and for toilet tables
are favorite subjects with ladies artistically
inclined. Painting on silk and satin has
almost entirely taken the place OF painting
on china, though tile painting continues to
engage the attention of expert amateurs.
good many people Of taste around Ger
mantown and elsewhere in the suburbs
have painted the tiles for their own fire.
places and mantels. Many tiles are also
painted and used as table ornaments and
bric-a-brac, and they are even framing
tiles. \ gentleman in West Philadelphia
