A CONSEQUENTIAL PIG.
How 1t Caused the Engiish-American
War of 1912.

1t all happened in this wise: Two citi-
zens of Providence, r. l., fell into a most
unSeemly discussion on account of the law
less trespassings OF a pig owned by one of
them. The aggrieved party possessed
very fine garden, in which it was his Gus
tom to spend his hours of leisure, wedding,
grating and transplanting the flow ers and
vegetables in which he delighted. But
often, as he entered his garden in the
evening, his ears would be saluted with a
grunt and rustic, and the fat form of his
neighbours pig might be seen making a
hasty flight from the garden in which it
had been placidly roofing all day.
In high dudgeon the gardener sought
his neighbor and complained of the pigs
spent in repairing the pigsty would re-
strain the animals rowing propensities.
But to this the owner of the pig responded
that if his neighbor would keep his rickety
fences in proper repair, the pig might take
its daily airing without temptation, and
the garden would not be endangered.
Repea' ed misdeeds on the part of the
pig famed the smoldering fires of OLSEN
sion into the flames of open hostility. At
last the crisis came. The owner of the
garden, rising unusually early one morn
ing, discovered the pig contentedly MUNICH
ing the last of fine bed of iulip-bulbs.
Flesh and blood could stand it no longer.
Selling pitchfork which lay near at
hand, the outraged gardener plunged its
sharp tines into the hapless pig, and bore
the body, thus fatally impaled, TO the sty,
where it met the gaze of its owner an hour
or two later. Thereafter it was war to the
knife between the two neighbors.
Now, what had all this to do with the
war of 1872? The answer is simple. The
two neighbors belonged to the political
party known as the Federalists.
Through all the outrages that Great
Britain inflicted upon the United States :;
while seamen were being impressed, Amer
lean vessels stopped on the high seas, and
while every possible indignity was being
committed against the Tag of the United
States, the Federalists remained friendly
to Great Britain, and contested every
proposition for he de laraiion Of war
| But the Democratic party was eaeer for
war, and British opp -~ssion became
more unbearable the strength of the Dem
Gratis increased. 1t so happened that the
election district in which the two neigh

Packing Butter.

The following is given by one of the
most successful butter factories in this
State as the best mode of preparing the
packages for packing summer butter
When packing in spruce barrels, first scald
the barrels thoroughly with a strong brine
of salt and soda, letting the brine remain
in the barrels twenty -four hours. Then
empty, and seal again with hot water, 10
take out the soda. The barrel is then
ready for the butter which should be
worked clear of milk and water.

WASHINGTON. October 10.-The total
offerings OF bonds to-day amounted to
sl4.237. 800, of which S9,9l7. 800 were +
DER cents and S4,3l9, 800 were As. All
the AS were accepted at 1851. and all
the As were rejected Notwithstanding
tho fact that more than uine tenths Of
them were offered at l29-the rate Of
which about four million OF 4 = were nc
cepted Yesterday. There Is considerable
comment over this apparent change in
the policy of the department, and many
theories are advanced TO account for It.
he most plausible one according 10 the
Treasury officials is that other things
being equal, the department pre-
.ers 10 apply surplus to the
redemption of the loan which natures
inside OF the three years rather than ex-
haust it 10 the purchase OF bonds which
nave SO much longer to run. The same
official said that having met the require
monts of the sinking fund for the pres
ent ear the department can now afford
to act with greater independence IN the
purchase OF bonds, and in applying the
surplus 80 that purpose would naturally
desire to secure the bonds nearest ma
turitY. Acting-Socretary Thompson de-
cined 70 say anything for publication IN
regard TO his rclcctirn Of the IS, except
10 remark that be had bought fifteen
millions in bonds during the last three
days and regarded that as doing very
well.
At the close Of business yesterday it
was found that the total deposits OF law
ful money for the reduction OF the ma
tional bank circulation since September
30th aggregated S2,SOs. 100 As the act
Of 1882 provided that not more than
%, 600. coo OF lawful money shall be de-
posted in any one month for The
reduction of the circulation and with
drawal Of bonds, the balance receiya-
bic during the remainder Of tins
month was at the beginning OF business
this morning only Sl9l, $50. These large
deposits are connected with the puf-
chase OF bonds by the Government,
and as the magnitude OF the offerings
Yesterday indicated that there would
be probably to-day further deposits
rendered. the Comptroller OF the Cur
rency appointed a committee 10 receive
the registered mail and record the order
in which various packages might come
to hand. This committee received this
morning nine packages, of which six
we're found TO relate to deposits of law
ful money for the Withdrawal OF bonds
amounting 10 $500, 500. The $1,000
was made up from these offerings in the
order OF their record and the banks
were notified. AS soon as the three-mll-
lion limit was reached the Treasurer tele-
graphed to the various Assistant Irea-
surers to receive no more deposits this
