Bishop Thorburn, the great Metho-
dist Episcopalian, on the Sunday even
ing after the steamer Caledonia left
Bombay on her last voyage, preached
on sin. In showing that sin was SIM
ply the generic term for many evils, he
pointed out that charcoal and diamond
were composed of the same elements
differently combined, and said that if
you were to place chunk of charcoal
on the deck and leave it there till the
ship reached Suez IL would be found to
have deprecated 25 per cent, whereas
a diamond similarly treated would be
found as pure, as bright, and as valua-
bic as when first deposited in its posi-
tion- The promulgation of this theory
had the effect of raising an excited
controversy on board, and Mr.. Archer,
described as a great Yankee authority
on books" offered the bishop TO place
n piece of charcoal on the deck on con-
dition that his opponent supplied the
diamond, and he would bet 5000 rupees
that when the boat reached Suez there
would be more charcoal and less dia-
mond visible. The Bishop shirked the
ordeal Gazette.

THE PIG RETURNED HOME.
Eeating the Record of the Cat that Cam
Back. or the Hnming Pigeon.


Back, or the Homing Pigeon.
The late Joseph Millward, father OF
the present Joseph U. Millward, told
the following story of pig TO Col.
William A. Gum, who is oar author
ity. 1t is little incredible, but it is
so well authenticated that we believe
it, for no man in his day in Lexington
stood higher for veracity and integ-
rity than did ''Oid Joe" Millward, as
he was known to his acquaintances:
Many years ago he was at a farmers
house to dinner, and while they were
eating a little pig camo into the din
ing-room, and the good woman of the
house remarked to her husband that
she couldn't keep it out, and she
wished that he would kill it" Mr..
Millward said:
Don't do that, bat send it to town
to me-"
The farmer replied that lie would.
1t was in the DAYS when wool WIS
burned in Lexington for fuel, and in a
day or two the farmer sent in 4 load of
wood and put the pig in basket and
hung it on the coupling pole of the
wagon. and in this way brought it to
town to Mr.. Millward. 1t was 4 very
rainy time, and the roads were muddy
and wet In night or two the pig
disappeared, and Mr. Millwari sup
posed some negro had stolen it. A few
days afterward he met his farmer
friend and told him that some one had
stolen his pig. The latter remarked
that the pig had come back home, and
that he intended to keep it. The pig
had crossed over town, took the New
ton road and got to Elkhorn creek,
which was very high. The miller at
the creek told him that he had seen a
little muddy pig come to the creek and
take a peep at the high water, and at
last he plunged in, and the swift cur
rent swept him down and over the
dam, and the miller thought he was
drowned; but after little time he saw
he pig coming up the opposite bank,
and when he came to the road he took
mp the hill and disappeared toward
home.-Lexington Gazette.
