a Curious Australian Pig.

A Mr.. Le Mortemore, living at Seriana
creek, Queensland, has lately shot an ani.
NAL which he describes as n sort of tree
climbing pig For a number of years wild
pigs have been numerous in that locality.
and his theory is that the original or com
mon pig has been changed, partly by the
necessities of his'wild life, into the variety
he has discovered.
The captured animal weighs about n
hundredweight and is pretty fat, with
bristly brown fur, small black spots, snout
and ears like pig, but the jaw is fur
hished with front teeth like rodent, and
has also large CANNES and powerful back
grinders.
The fore feet are furnished with hook
like claws, but the hind ones with only
two hooks upon each hoof. The tail is
thick, about foot long, and highly pre-
fhensilc, and in state of rest it is usually
carried by the animal in what is known us
Flemish coil" A Flemish coil some
whit resembles the figure s.
This last item about the new Australian
pig is impressive 1t shows that this pigs
ideas about the proper management for Il
tail are novel and striking, and that he
subject.
This Australian animal has other pecu-
liaritics. 1t is furnished with n pouch,
which it appears to use for carrying n sup
ply of food while travelling or migrating
to fresh pastures. In drought the animal
climbs trees and hangs by it's tail while
it gathers its food by it's hook claws

Grief.

There are despaire which seem to blast and
kill,
Ehat darkcn day and rob the stars of light,
Ghat mako the manifest weep as women
might,
That bend tho valor Of tho human will
still
Love can transngure while it seems to blight;
Strong hearts feed nobly on their grief, despite
A world where hearts can ever thrive but ill.
Sweet love and laughter arc the dreafh OF
youth,
And soft contentment is golden bar
Which shuts u life within It's commonplace;
But the old world grows wiser in tho truth
That sorrows fashion us to what we arc
And rouse the invincible genius of our race.

- Average People.
The genius scars far to the fountain
That feeds the snowcap in tho sky;
But though our wings break in the flying
And though our souls faint in the trying
Our flight cannot follow so high;
And the eagle swoops not from the mountain
TO answer the ground birds low cry.
The world has gay guerdon ready
To hail the fleet foot In the race;
But on the duh highway of duty,
Aloof from the pomp and the beauty,
The stir and the chance of the chase,
Are toilers, with steps true and steady.
Pursuing their wearisome pace
False proves and noisy insistence
May capture the garrulous throng,
But the average" father and brother,
The home keeping sister and mother,
Grown gentle and patient and strong,
Shall learn in the fast nearing distance
Wherein life's awards have been wrong.
Then here's TO the average" people,
The makers Of home and its rest;
To them the world turns for n blessing
When life its hard burdens is pressing,
For stay-at-home hearts are the best;
Birds build If they will in tho steeple,
But safer tho caves for nest.

GOV. MCKINLEY.

BY his actions during the Republic
an convention Gov Mckinley has de-
veloped into one of the most popular
of the great Republican leaders. His
position, under the circumstances,
was most trying one. Those who
thought that because Of the compli-
Gated situation the convention would
finally turn to third man, at once
picked out Gov. Mckinley as that
man. He had the confidence of all,
and as the great champion of protec-
tion it was most natural, in that the
continuance of the tariff law which
bears his name will be the leading
question in the great struggle, that
if the convention should fail to agree
upon either of the great names be-
fore it, it should turn to him, and
here was where the greatness of the
man showed itself. 1t was no easy
thing to turn away from prize which
all men covet, and to obtain which
many great man has staked his re-
putation-and lost.
But Gov. Mckinley went to Mime
apolis for purpose, and that purpose
was to secure the denomination of
President Harrison. AS he proved
true to Senator Sherman at Chicago
in 1888, so did he honor the trust
which he imposed upon himself at
this time, and declined to listen to
the sweet-voiced siren which tempted
him on. AS long as there was any
possible chance of nominating Presi-
dent Harrison, he said no thought
must be entertained by the delegates
of turning to him. This was the ut
terance of manly man, Of great
man who looked only to the duty to
be performed.
But the Republicans will remember
that man that could prove true to
himself and his friends upon such an
occasion will prove true to the obliga-
tions that it may at any time impose
upon him. He has well earned the
popularity which he enjoys. Some
one has said of him that he is too
manly man to be politician, but
| if there were more men like him in
the political world, we should hear
less of the "dirty pool of politics."

NUMBER L

REPUBLICAN conventions say what
they mean and mean what they say
They declare principles and policies
and purposes, and when intrusted
with power they execute and enforce
them. The first national convention
of the Republican party, thirty-six
years ago, met in the city of Philadel-
phia. The platform of that conven-
tion reads to-day more like an inspir-
alton then the affirmation of politi-
cal party. Every provision of that
great instrument made by the fathers
of our party is on the statutes of our
country to-day. Every one of them
has been embodied into public law,
and that cannot be said of the plat
form of any other political organiza-
tion in this or any other country in
the world.-Gor. Mckinley an National
Republican Convention.

TIN PLATE MANUFACTURE.

The free trade Democrats insist
that tin plate cannot be made in this
country. They do not utter a hope
that whatever difficulties stand in the
way of it's manufacture may be re-
moved and great industry built up
in our midst, but it is ever the old
refrain that it can't be done, or if it
is, the cost will be greatly increased.
1t would seem that pride would cause
them to take an interest in our fu-
ture industrial welfare; that it would
spur them on to that point where
they would put a shoulder to the
wheel and help push the matter, but
as Josh Billings said of the mule,
they seem, in the industrial line, to
have neither pride of ancestry nor
hope of posterity." The following
letter from The n. G. Taylor Co.,
manufacturers of tin and terne plates,
entirely disposes of the cry that tin
plate cannot be manufactured in this
country, and manufactured cheaply:
We are at a loss to understand how
it is possible for any American to
claim that tinplate cannot be made
here. If you we're to ask him if Amer
lea could produce Watches, Mathe-
NAUTICAL Instruments, Electrical APP
pliances, Firearms, Silk, Satin, Car
pets, Locomotives, Sheet Steel, Sheet
Iron, Etc, he would proudly say
Eyes" Now take the position that
America can produce sheet iron or
sheet steel, and it will be proven that
she can produce it fully equal in every
respect to every country in the world.
Does she produce pig lead, pig tin?
Does she contain labor with the aver
in the world? To every one of these
questions the reply would be Eyes, "
excepting In regard to pig tin the re-
ply may be that at the present time
the quantity produced is limited.
There are two ways of making lin
plate, the Pure Palm Oil Process and
the Acid FfuX Process The former
process is slow but it is the best and
the only way by which really fine and
durable plates can be made. The
Acid Flux process is quick, cheap and
easy.
That we may give you clear illus
tration of the latter we had better
take box of &c 14x20 cheap roofing
tin, which is composed of los lbs. OF
speet iron or sheet steel, an article OF
American manufacture which no one
will deny who has any knowledge OF
the output of our rolling mills. Now
