TENANTED BY WILD HOGS.
A Large Alabama Tract Where No HUI
man Being Dwells.

Large Alabama Tract where No HUI
man Being Dwells.
In the northern part of Limestone
county, Ala, is a tract of land con-
sisting of more than one thousand
acres, which is not on the map of the
state, nor can it be found in the reg
ister's Office of that county. No one
claims it and no taxes have ever been
paid on it. 1t is vast wilderness, in
habited by snakes, deer and razorback
hogs. 1t is free hunting ground, and
thousands of these hogs are killed
every year, more for sport than for
anything else. The hogs are wild and
cannot be domesticated. Their yield
is said 10 be enormous. Tom Booth, of
Pulaski, Tenn. secured male and fe-
male and did all in his power 10 tame
them, but failed. He kept them a
year. and at the end of that time they
were as wild as at first. The more he
fed them the thinner they became.
Within the year they consumed four
hundred bushels of corn and were as
lean as church mice During that time
the SOW had five litters of pigs, num-
bering two hundred and ten. Mr..
Booth could not tame any of these nor
get them fat enough 10 make even
soap grease. Finally he gave them to
negro, who now considers himself
under no obligations TO Mr.. Booth
The flesh of these hogs resembles
horsehesh. 1t is as tough as COON
skin, and a large-sized hog of this
species rendered would not make
grease enough TO fry a skillet of batter
cakes. They go through a garden like
capes them. They can crowd through
a crack that would hardly admit a
mouse, and their sharp noses act as
levers for garden gates. The Tennes-
scans make great fun of Alabama

There are always two sides to
every case, and Senator VOORHEES,
has presented half one. He claims
to desire the relief Of the people
from unjust taxation, and proposes
to relieve them to the extent of $40,
go, 900, or sl.l24 per head. AT the
same time he argues in support of a
bill that will provide a surplus of
revenue to the extent of S29,3s9, 245,
and says "there is no terror to me in
a surplus like this" Perhaps not.
Men who juggle with millions re-
gard millions with complacency.
But it seems hard upon the poor
laborer who is deprived Of his work
and not have the means wherewith
to support himself and family. 1t
will be small satisfaction for him,
without loaf of bread in his house,
to contemplate a surplus of s29,Ss9,
245 boarded up in the vaults of the
Treasury.

Russian Realty Regulations.

Princess Hohenlohe, the wife of the
governor general of Alsace- Lorraine,
inherited from her upcle, a Russian
general, estates in Russia worth So
0O0O or 1000, 00o rubles. Under the
Russian law foreign non-residents can
not hold property, and the princess
was compelled To sell her estates at
once. She asked the ear 10 grant her
little time, as the financial strin-
gency. which prevails in Russia as well
as in this country, has made real estate
hard to dispose of. The car. how
ever, for political reasons, refused TO
grant the extension and the poor wom-
IN was able 10 realize only beggarly
pittsnce Of Il, 200, ooo OF ~. 900, 900 rubles

Such a policy as is advocated by
Senator VOORHEES, and his Free
Trade associates will be regarded by
the mass of the people as ga gigantic
crime" 1t may lead to crime, and
who could blame a poor man with
out work if he were impelled to
crime at the sight of s29,389,245 in
gold boarded in the Treasury?
HThere is no terror" to Senator
Voorhees, Gin a surplus like this"
but all men are not made like Senator
Voorhees,, and some, even, are
thankful that they are not. To
quote his own words, he has ode
clared a policy SO flagitious in prin-
ciple, so rotten in morality, and SO
Iavenous in its exactions on the alb
solute wants in life, that its possible
duration is only question of time
when the next election by the people
should occur"

Stiles Kennedy of st. Louis was

If Tom Reid needed anything to
vindicate his sensible rulings as
speaker Of the 5lst congress, for
which the democratic press dubbed
him "Czar" during the past two
years, it was the action of the demo
cratic house Tuesday, in adopting
his odious rule to count quorum if
it was actually present, whether
voting or not. With s4 majority the
the democrats have been fooling
away weeks of time in the house be-
cause of the absense of their mem
bers, being unable to coax or
threaten enough members to secure
a quorum under their rules. We
can remember some of the remarks
made by some of our local demo
Gratis at the time of their adoption.

REFUSED a THRONE.
The Heir Presumptive of Austria Thrown
over for "A Young Lieutenant.


Some time ago, says Vienna Letter
in the London News, 1t was believed
that the heir presumptive TO the Aus
trian throne, Archdule Francis Ferdi-
nand, would marry his Bavarian cous-
iE's daughter, Princess Elizabeth. 1t
Is now heard that the idea existed, and
was much favored by the emperor, but
the young princess frustrated these
plans.
More than year ago she began to
look approvingly upon a handsome
young lieutenant, Baron S.. The
young officer began by riding past her
windows a couple of times a day, then
he obtained a room with windows
facing Prince Leopold's palace. In the
winter, at court balls, the lieutenant
danced oftener than any other with the
princess, and in the spring lawn tennis
brought them more together still.
All at once the young officer was
transferred to a regiment stationed in
Alsace: and this seemed the tame end
of romantic story. But in the sum-
mer, when Princess Elizabeth staid
with her emperor grandpa at Ischl, she
is supposed to have used her time so
well that the emperor promised TO
make the baron a prince, to give him
some landed property, and to allow the
happy couple to marry if their love
was proof against time.
The princess is nineteen, pretty, per-
fectly natural, and very sweet-tem-
pered. That she should have preferred
a union with the man she loves to the
certainty of an imperial throne will
not ALLEVIATE the sympathies of those

TWO ROYAL DIAMOND FlUSHES.
held at the Same Time In One Room and
Secured i'm the Same Way.


All the San Francisco men about
town who play cards are talking about
the two remarkable hands held a few
evenings ago at the Pacific-Union club
and the doctrine of chances is being
calculated 10 ascertain how soon such
n coincidence might be expected to
happen again. The general belief ac-
cording TO the Examiner, is that no
such hands were ever held simultan-
eously before since poker was first
played, and that no one now living
will ever see them so held again For
the benefit of the truly good it may be
stated that royal flush is the highest
hand in poker. 1t consists of Sc
quence of ace, king, queen. lxnave and
ten in any one suit. AS may be sup
posed, the appearances of this hand
are like the visits of angels and not
much more frequent than dentition in
hens. Considerable poker is played at
the Pacific-Union, but royal flush had
not beeD seen in months until the oc-
currence of the other night There are
four tables in a row in the poller-room
at the club. -Four men were sitting at
each of the two middle tables. At
identically the same time one of the
players at each of the two table held a
royal flush in diamonds. And as if this
coincidence were not sufficiently I'M
usual. each of the lucky two got his
hand in exactly the same way. getting
the ace, king. queen and lsnave on the
deal and the ten spot on the draw
One only won thirty-fve dollars on his
hand, but the winning of the other
was SO big that he has kept the exact
amount 10 himself, 20 as not to exotic
