The Tropical Town OF st. Pierre.

We are ashore in st. Pierre, the
quainrest. queerest, and prettiest withal
among the West Indian cities ;all stone
tagged, with very narrow streets, wood
en- awnings, iron balconies. and peaked
roofs of red tile pierced by gabled dor
mers. Most of the buildings are painted
in clear pale yellow tone. which con-
trasts delightfully."- with the burning
blue ribbon OF tropical sky above and
no street is absolutely level. Near
ly all of them climb hills, descend into
hollows, curve, twist, describe sudden
and amazing angles. There is every
where continuous chant of running
water, pouring through the deep cutters
contrIved between the paved thorough
fare and the absurd little sidewalks
varying in width from one to three feet.

Panther and Locomotive.

A singular tragedy lately occurred in
Algeria, on the line of the railway be.
tween Bona und Constantine. At q
wild spot where the track passes
through the gorge of Nador female
panther had installed herself with hel
young ones right upon the track. The
train came up too swiftly to come to a
stop, but the panther might easily have
leaped from the track. She did not,
however, propose to do any thing of the
sort. She was playing with her young
ones at the time, and did not mean to
have her sport disturbed, at least with
out protest. She sprang upon the
swiftly approaching locomotive with all
her force. The blow was instant deatt.
to her. Her head and forelegs wore
cut of, and her lifeless body thrown to
the side Of tho track. The young pan
theirs, who, .less presumptuous than
their mother, had managed to got oil

Professional Honesty.

An Instance OF LlnCOln's Pr. 's"vOrthy
Professional Honesty.
Some time early in the years follow
ing 1850 the Hon. j. G. Gest, of this
county, was guardian Of some minors
who had title to some land in Illinois,
and, deeming it to be to the interest OF
one of his wards to sell the land, he
went to that State to make sale of it.
He went to the court through which he
would have to proceed, and upon a
conference with the judge of that court
he, for the first time, was made aware
that there was difficulty in his way.
Tho Judge told him it was the first
time an application had been made in
his court by a foreign guardian to sell
lands in Illinois, and that he doubted his
right to do so. Mr.. Gest was hims elf
good lawyer, and on careful exam
ination of the statutes of Illinois he had
as troublesome doubts as the Judge,
who advised him to take counsel, and
directed him to a lawyer named Lin
coin, who, he said, would give him safe
advice. He went to Mr.. Lincoln 8
Office aad found, he said in nurrating
the incident afterwar,l. tall. rather
bony man, with kindly expression of
face, and plainly dressed. He stated
his case to Mr.. Lincoln. and that he
wanted an opinion; also that he was
very anxious to get through with his
business speedily and return home.
Mr.. Lincoln examined the statutes then,
book after book. Finally he took down
a volume and remarked. "This is
Story on tho Conflict of Laws /
trust it may give me some light"
After examining through it carefully
he placed it back on its shelf and said:
''For the firsttime has the question of
the right of foreign guardian to come
into our courts to sell the lands of his
nonresident wards, situated in this
State, been presented to me. hoped
that Story would help me to solve it.
He does not, and can not give YOU
an opinion without further examina-
ton; you are in hurry to return home
and / will give you the best advice that
l can. Come here" He stepped to
the door and. pointing across the
street, said: "You see that lawyer sign?
That is the Office of ex-Judge Logan;
go to see him; if there is man in
Illinois who can give you an opinion at
once, he is the man; 1 am not"
'That," said Mr.. Gest, "was the first
and only lawyer l have ever met who
had the candor to admit that he was
not ready to give an opinion. 1t
was an instance Of professional hon
esty worthy of all praise, and referring
me to Judge Logan in the manner he
did was circumstance of magnanim.

IMPROVE THE HOG,
n Matter Which Deserves the Attention
of Progressive Farmers.

~ Attention
of Progressive Farmers.
If the margin between the price of
corn and pork remains rs great as it
has been during the past year, the in-
ference is that the demand for Il better
class of hogs will be greater than it
has been for a number of years. There
will be new herds built up, and ar
rangements made for breeding hogs on
farms where they have been abandoned
for years. Young farmers, casting
about for the most profitable product
of the farm, will not be long in decd-
ing on this branch, as promising the
greatest and quickest returns for the
money and labor invested. Our oh.
servations force the belief upon lis that
farmers for few years have not been
as careful about adding new blood to
their herds as they should have been,
and the consequence is their hogs are
not rs good as they should be. With
the combination of all breeds that is
convenient to use. they find themselves
possessed of Il class of mongrel swine
that are not profitable either for market
or breeding.
Every step removed from some pure
fountain head makes matters worse
But even with these things against the
quality of hogs they bring u good
profit. and should make the farmer feel
able to invest in better stock. And
taking all these things into considera-
tion. we can but think the demand for
pure bred stock will be better in tho
near future than for a number of years
past. The demand during the past
year has started the current that way,
making an ambition among farmers to
excel once more in the quality of the
porker. laudable desire that benefits
the farmer and improves the quality of
pork given to the consumer Years
ago it was the opinion among farmers
that all that was required to raise good
hogs was fine thrifty sire. no regard |
being taken as to the breed, for. as |
heard man once say: "A hog is
hog and that is enough" But this is
not enough. AS much attention should |
be given to the breeding of swine US of |
horses or cattle, and in the end they
will be jmst as profitable. Cor Western

In 1878 band of rowing Gypsies Wis
tied Hochc and pitched their tents near
the town. Among their number was
weird and venerable fortune-tellins
dame. Though the woman was a wild.
looking hag, she claimed to be sort Of
queen among her people. In Piocho,
whenever she appeared on the streets,
this red-mantled old witch was mocked
at and derided. She endured this for
time. but one day became enraged, and
in towering passion she raised her
staff in her withered hands and cursed
the people and the town. She cursed
them in the product Of their mines, in
their business of traffic. and in their
houses and lands for ten years. For
ten years she said they would wither
and decay until houses were abandoned
and streets deserted. then would come
q new people and new era, when the
old prosperity Of the place would return.
When she had thus cursed the town
and the people the old witch turned ON
her heel and strobe away. The camp
Of her people at once struck their tents
and MI departed, never again to return.
Ever since that time the blasting infiu-

VALUABLE RELICS.
Young Woman Who Is Making None
by Searching for Them.

"A Young Woman Who Is Making Mouoy
by Searching for Them.
A clever young woman is building
up business of somewhat novel
character in New York and Brooklyn.
Travelling agents have long made a
good thing out of antique furniture
picked up OH excursions in the wilds OF
rural New Hampshire and Connecticut,
inducing farmers wives to ransack their
attics and bring out mirrors that only
wanted regilding, or brass-handled
chests of drawers in want of nothing
but polish and varnish to fetch round
sums from modern worshipers of brio
a-brac gone by. The best hunting
ground for such things, curiously
enough, has been overlooked almost
entirely. New York and Brooklyn, as
things go in this country. are ancient
cities. There are low-browed Dutch
homesteads within the limits of the
former city. and old houses on Second
avenue, in the Washington square
region and on Fifth avenue itself, in
New York, which only need to yield
up their treasures to delight all the
lovers of last century carved oak,
mirrow-front wardrobes, rare spindle.
legged monssrositics and choice bits of
buhl. This young woman has begun u
series OF tours among the stately old
mansions sunk to sccond-class boarding
houses, or gone yet further on the. road
OF neglect and decay, and when she
finds relic of past grandeur, she re-
habilitates it and introduces it to an
art lover or a curio lover. or person
ambitious of the repute of an art or
curio loyer-with money. An old ebony
cabinet inlaid with mother Of pearl. an
old dressing table with a tray Of Sevres
lot into the top. an old chair covered
with French fowered satins OF the
early years Of the century, these are
grand dukes in banishment to be re-
stored to their lost estate. It Is pleas
ant business for young woman with
some knowledge, good eye and better
Judgment, and she makes 1t profitable.

In thoroughfares man should keep at
