from the road heard sounds which indicated
extreme despair. The cabin itself was what

broken window pancs were REINFORCED by old
hats and multi, colored rags which served To

opened and stout old coorrd woman came out.
She had an air Of importance and she carried n
dlngy tin pail being on her way to the spring,
The opening OF tho door not only brought
the sounds OF grief still more plainly 10 my ears
but IL also gave me glimpse OF an interior crowded
with colored people Of all ages, all wearing that
same air OF solemn Importance by this time
my curiosity had quite got the better OF me, and
said Good afternoon, auntic. Is anything

why the n.nt XIII. Hogs.

Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa ex.
pertinent station, explains why the
hog succumbs so INTERESTINGLY when
overheated. The man or horse when
overheated soon has his body covered
with perspiration, and the evapora-
ton of this at once begins to reduce
his temperature. Nature has made no
such provision for the relief Of the
hog when heated by exposure to the
sun or by excessive exercise. This is
reason enough why it should have an
abundant and convenient bathing or
wallowing place, whether on summer
pasturage ,or confined lot, and have
plenty of Green food that is laxative
ana cooling.

Washington, Dec. 12.--lhe an
nounced intention of Senator Mason,
of Illinois, to address the senate on his
resolution expressing sympathy with
the South African republics in their
war with Great Britain drew Il large
audience to the galleries.
Senator Hoar presented resolutions
of the Massachusetts legislature in ia
vor of Il constitutional amendment for
uniform hours of labor i'm manufac-
tories in the United States.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, called
the attention of the pension committee
to the bill for the payment of pensions
to freedmen.

committee said such bill should no6
have been presented and he believed
the committee would not indorse it.
Its promoters We're deluding thou

two years Imprisonment. He gave no.
tice he would address the senate on
the subject.
Senator Mason, of Illinois, then adj
dressed the senate on his pro-Boer
resolution. His speech was long and
vehement. He maintained that under
the Monroe doctrine and presidents
the United States had the same right
to extend sympathy to the Beers as
it had to interfere with Spain in the
conduct of affairs in Cuba. He de-
clared the Boer war appealed to us be-
cause it was struggle between the
divine rights of kings and the divine
rights of men. Mason denounced the
British authorities for bringing on the
war and dwelt at length on the
causes which led up to it.
