We were sitting IN front ofTaylor's
grocery on q summer day, when a big
black hog came nosing along the gutter
and started new train OF thought. In
the crowd Of loungers was man from
Gt. Louis, and, after watching the
porker for while, be remarked:
II wonder II that hog ever had real
rood time in the course OF all his life?"
osHors allus have good times, /
ouess.n remarked the village cooper,
who had knocked on work and come
over to hear some politics.
81 doubt It," said the other. he
must feel bis degraded position In life,
and so he cannot be happy. l wish /!
could do something to make him feel
that life is worth the living"
"Fust man | ever saw who pitied q
hoeli, grunted the blacksmith, who
ought to have been taeking a shoe on a
waiting mule.
"Yes. 7 do pity him. I've been down
myself and know Just how 1t feels. Tay-
lor, have you got any cherry whiskey
in the store there?n
GMighty little, ifany. More cherries
than whiskey there, guess" answered
Taylor, good-naturedly.
'iIf you've got two quarts Of cherries
which have been in liquor, bring 'em
out. and pll give you half dollar. I'm
going to try to make that hog happy
for two hours, and think can do it."
The grocer got the cherries, which
had been lying in liquor for couple OF
wears, and the st. Louis man poured
them out into the gutter for the hog.
They were devoured with astonishing
avidity, and the porker stood and
looked at us and hungered for more. II
was doubted by some If the liquor
would affect him, but after a few
minutes he began to frisk and play, and
was evidently under the influence:
"That does me good" said the donor
of the cherries. HE is becoming light
hearted, and life will now take on new
and wonderful charms to him. Hang
any darn man who won't give hog 9
shown
Just then the animal uttered 9
hoarse ''woof!'' and charged for the
crowd. We scattered and he entered
the grocery, took two or three turns anC
shot out and down the street. Esquire
Smith was coming up, and the hog
charged and upset him. He then headed
for a horse and buggy in front Of Sny
der's, crashed against the horses hind
legs. and in another moment there was
runaway. The widow Watkins wa
sailing along with can of kerosene II
her hand and the hog rolled her off the
walk as if she had been struck by {
locomotive. He then charged double
team and started them off, dove int
Gaylord's dry good store and out, ant
the old man Sabin turned in from Elm
Street Just in time to be lifted three fee
high and rolled by surprising force anC
rapidity into puddle.
Fifty men were out and after thu
porker by this time, but he started
another runaway, upset baby car
riage, and knocked the register of deed
Off his pins before we cornered him ant
got rope around hind leg. Then ev
erybody was mad and wanted ven
geance, but when they came to look 70
the st. Louis man he had skipped. He
however, left a message for the public
saving to a boy, who with presence o
mind had Skinned up an awning post T.
to be out of danger:

motto yet, let me throw out one 70

How He is Getting Along in Hayti and

How He is Getting Along in Hayii and
Among the Haytians.
Mr.. j. E. Rankin, president,elect of
Howard University, has received the
following congratulatorv letter from
Hon. Frederick Douglass, United
States minister to Hayti:
My Dear Rankin-I congratulate
you on your election to the presidency
of Howard University but have far
greater reason to congratulate the
University. You have taken upon
you great labor of love and have
made great sacrifice. Your talents
l might say your character and
genius-would open doors on golden
hinges before you; but you have
chosen a place, though high, yet
among the lowly. May heaven bless
you in and for the choice you have
made. Your heart Chow should l not
know it?) Is with my poor, prosecuted
and struggling people, and no man in
my range of acquaintance has larger
or more helpful powers. You can not
only teach the letter but the spirit of
Christianity so much needed in the
capital of our great republic. Never
have l become reconciled to your
absence from Washington. You had
fixed position among the moral and
and religious forces of the city and
were terror to evildoers. Your
trumpets gave no uncertain sound.
1t was never your misfortune to be
misunderstood. Your language was
never made to conceal your thought.
You said what you meant and meant
what you said. Trimmers took no
stock in you, hence the true friends
of temperance and of freedom deeply
regretted the day that saw you depart
and are glad that you have returned.
1 am quite satisfied with my posi-
ton in Hayti. There is chance of
being of some service here. 1t is the
black mans country, and though
there is much to regret III its condi-
ton there is also much to commend.
The people are called lazy, but they
do manage to export 81 100000 of pro
duce per aunum. No one who sees,
as do, the long professions of people
coming down from the mountains
loaded with coffee and other produc-
tions of this country and climate can
honestly call this people lazy. One
thing can be said of them, whatever
else is said-they are free and indie
pendent and are gradually working
themselves out of the barbarism in
which they were left by slavery. Mrs.
Douglass joins me in kind remem-
brances.
Very truly yours,
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

hopes the people of Austin and trans

interest in this important matter and
send in such articles as they think
worthy of exhibition, especially plants.
shrubs and flowers of all kinds, any
and everything.which would tend to
make Austin's exhibit complete and
attractive. Other cities will have ex-

uty United States Marshal Winder
charged with criminal assault on Miss
Emma Schneider in the hospital at Fort

for the purpose of having tooth pulled,
when he advised her TO take chloroforni,
which she did reluctantly. Before
Monroe making preparations to carry
out his purpose, but was powerless to even
call for aid. As soon as she recovered con-
seriousness she jumped from the chair and
ran to the door. which she says was locked.
Opening it she went home at once and told
her people Of the outrage, and the arrest
followed. In person Miss Schneider is a
delicate girl of IA years. The preliminary
examination was opened before United

REPORT OF OCULIST.
There were an average of twenty
four cases under daily treatment
fourteen girls and ten boys. The
greater number of the cases treated
were of a chronic inhammatory char
acter, and the treatment in nearly
every instance being directed to the
!elief of suffering rather than to the
restoration of vision, owing to their
hopeless character. In one case how
ever, the patient, Laura Kemp Cher
first SESSION., was blind when admit
ted, having n severe trachoma and
opacity of cornea, now has vision
which enables her to read, and as the
improvement will very likely continue
owing to the disease having been
cured. she will probably not return.
Two cases, Wesley Long and Lycur-
gus Gee, their eyes having been re-
fracted and vision corrected, were sent
home able to pursue their studies by
sight.
There were eight plastic operations
on the eyelids-entropia 6, canthe-
plasty 2. Three needle operations for
cataract which gave: Charley Hewitt,
ITO vision Made Richey, Ito vision ;
Francis Flowers, 100 vision. The
vision can be further improved by sub
sequent operations.
Two operations for the extraction Of
cataract were performed. Both cases
were totally blind at birth, which is
indeed rare. Maggie Loughmiller 16,
and Adele Cordes 8, both gained use
full vision which will continue to i'm
prove, as the eye will have to learn
what it sees.
Each pupil had been examined but
no exact record kept except of those
requiring treatment, until the latter
part of this session, when l examined
each one, and have now on record,
name, age, sex, character, and history
of case, and the amount of vision pos
sessed by each. Respectfully,

DIFFICULT WORK.
Dynamite Used to Remove the Iron Pier at
the MOntopOlis Bridge.

Dynamite Used to Remove the Iron Pier at
the MOntopOlis Bridge.
Flume & Rex, the contractors to
erect the stone pier at the Montopolis
bridge, have force of men getting
out the stone on Onion creek and they
hope to go to work on the pier soon.
FRUlTLEss WORK OF DYNAMITE.
The stone pier is to be erected on
the spot where four of the iron tubes
now stand, if the iron tubes are ever
removed out of the way. They have
tried to pull them over and to push
them over, but all without avail, and
yesterday they loaded twelve sticks of
dynamite into the tubes for the pur.
pose of blowing it from the face OF the
earth.
The explosion occurred with terrific
force, but to the infinite disgust of Mr..
Flume it only tore and rent and de-
stroyed two sections of the tube, leav-
ing twenty-five feet of it still standing.
The work of destruction of the two
sections, however, was complete and
the iron was torn into shreds, and
rivets and concrete sent flying into the
air.
The experiment shows that the
tubes were put there to stay, and it is
doubtful if the stone pier to take their
place will be as strong and be able to
stand dynamite test such as the one
mentioned.
Mr.. Flume says he will put 100
sticks of dynamite into the tube to-
day, and he hopes to blow it 20 the
four corners of the earth.
If you see scraps Of iron, pieces of
concrete and bits of Mr.. Flume and
Rex flying through the air t, day you
needn't be surprised. 1t will be the
result of dynamite.
