remarkable animal, we know of. We
have often studied long and laborously
the character of the hog, but after care
ful research we have come to the con
elusion that he does not. possess any
There Is not a quad-ruped on earth that
has as little idea of decency or a more
perfect disregard for the good opinion
of mankind. It puzzles us seriously
to account for the manner in which a
hog occupies his time or to under
stand what he is always thinking of.
As a beast of burden he is utterly
worthless and good-for nothing. He
is as lazy as the day is long, and never
exhibits any enterprise except when
hungry, and that is pretty much all the
time. You never see him in his werk-
ing moments unless he is nosing
around and grunting disapprovingly
that times are so hard and provisions
so scarce. But one thing can be said
to his'credit, he is not a grumbling
boarder and will eat with avidity and
delight whatever is laid before him
anything so there is plenty of it; but
abundance is absolutely necessary for
his happiness and contentment. He
is good for nothing except to eat and
be eaten. He is a slave to his appetite
but is far from being devoid of reason
or sense, especially when catering to
obtain his daily bread. He is a most
vigilant sentinel of a fence, especially
if it surrounds a roasting-ear patch.
He patrols that fence every day and is
al ways.first to discover a broken rail in it
But there is one curious feature about it,
he can never find the crack in which
he entered your field. He can always
find the way in, but never the way out
Some people call this animal instinct,
but we call it a shrewd deviltry and
cunning sense. The first law of his
nature is to look out for number one,
and right faithfully too he does obey
that law. Financial ability is rierbt
strongly developed in his character,
and he can always manage to pick up
a living where any other animal can
People rarely ever make pets of them ;
they are untidy in appearance, ill-
mannered in every respect, and never
bathe in clean water when a muddy
pool can be found- Besides he has no
fondness for keeping your company,
his principal loafing place is around
the kitcken door. He is neither play
ful, nor frisky in his habits and his
musical powers ,at best are only indif
ferent and poor. He is too lazv to
work, and too dirty to pet, and the
only thing to do with him is to kill
him and eat him. If you are a farmer
with pig tight fences and good corn
land, keep plenty of the breed, but if
you Uve in town and have to buy your
groceries, have nothing to do with the
hog avoid him as you would tbe

WENDELL PHILLIPS TH43JKS
GOD FOR THE SAN DOMINGO
MASSACRE. rT. v; 'V;'
And Wants the South also Disciplin-
. ed.
From a speech made at Philadelphia,
Friday.
Mr. Phillips denounced the South in
unmeasured terms. He - said the
spirit existed to-day which if left to
itself would again rise against the
government. The only charge is from
1861 the want of the power. As long
as cruelty controls the South it can
never gain the civilization of the nine
tee nth century. Behind is a bloody
spectacle, a hideous ghost. The -hor
rors OF ban Domingo were not the re
sistance of slaves to a master, but of
freedom to be again enslaved. They
killed every white man, woman and
child, and they deserve credit for it.
If this civilization of the South con
tinues as it now is, its history may yet
be checkered with a Christopher or a
Touissant L'Overtuer. Mr. Philips.
after continuing for a while in this
same strain spoke of the reconstruc
tion of tbe boutb, and said : in tnis
much of concession, this gush of senti
ment, we can do nothing. Ihe JNorth
should do something. It should pro
claim to the world, 'I have inconsider
ately relieved that unhappy traitor
and pardoned that insolent rebel, and
who shall remedy it l we must reap
where we have sown. The next thing
is San Domingo and national bank
ruptcy. The North should put its
foot down in a manner that could not
be misunderstood, and that was to
show the world that the North is as
color-blind as God himself- You can
nominate for President who you
please. Puplic opinion should name
him ; such a man as should mako
every white man's knees in New Or
leans tremble The only man who
ever showed he understood this is the
President of the United States, U. S.
Grant, and 1 have no turnine at a
third term. The man to preside over
the Senate must be a negro, Fred
Douglass. Mr. Phillips continued at
great leangth his denunciation of the
South in terms fiercer and more bit
ter than in his best anti-slavery days.
He continued eloquent to the la3t
but with the most astonished Phila
delnhia audience that ever listened to
him.
ONE MOMENT.
In a popular down-town restaurant
there was a waiter who had an un
pleasant habit of saying, "One mo
ment." Otherwise he was a good-natured,
affable man, who did hip work
well, but he was unable to break him
self of his one failing. If, while he
was wipinc a knife or a spoon, a custo
mer asked him for the salt, he would
say, "One moment," finish the knife,
and then hand the salt.
If he was polishing glasses and a
gentleman who had cup of conee be
side him asked for the sugr, the wai
ter would not set the glass down, serve
the guest, and then resume his labor,
but ''One moment, and the sugar af
terward. If the customer failed to see
it in that light and repeated his re
quest, the waiter would give his nap
kin a deprecatory flourish and impart
to his reply a slight accent of re
proach, ' O-one moment, sir."
Last week the waiter went over to
Jersey to visit some friends, and after
a day of innocent hilarity he returned
to the railroad station from which he
was to embark for home. While wait
ng for the train he strolled out on the
track and stood looking down the long
perspective of the road. He did not
observe an express train that was
booming down from the opposite di
rectiou, but he heard the warnine
voice of a man on the platform shout
ing:
'Gett off the track! Get off the
track!
' One moment, sir" was the involun
tary reply, and he tarried for an in
stant to straighten a kink in his watch
cnain; but tne express train was in a
hurry, and in one moment he had
gone woere moments are as years.

Mr. Mix awoke in the morning ruf
fled in disposition. He showed it
when he crawled under the bed after
his slippers- He showed it when
after drenching his face with soapsuds,
he found the towel missing. He
showed it by stamping his feet while
making a remark about a "gone but

shoved the , cold, biscuits aside. and
tipped over the Worcestershire sauce
he showed it. In every move and
look and word Mix showed that he
was 'wroth about something, and his
wife ' noticed it. She tried to : pacify
him. She said, "Come John, cheer
up and let's sing something," and in
stantly i he j rattled fortti "The Glrl

coffee had stopped sizzling in his hair,

No Use For Wood.
The other afternoon a sharp-featured
woman, nearly: six.'" feet high, ' came
into the city on the Grand. River road
with about three-eights of a cord of
red. oak stove-wood piled on a one
horse wagon. The wood was so green
that the sap exuded and froze to ice,
and those in search of wood gave her
load looks of contempt and scorn.
She baited near the . Cass Market and
waited there more than an hour. She
seemed to be getting discouraged
when along came a little resident of
the Cass farm and .asked her tbe price
of the wood. She said she'd take
three dollars.
"Three dollars for leas'n half a cord
of green oak-wood !" he exclaimed. '
"Is this green wood ?" she asked as
she threw the blanket on her feet.
"Green as water," he replied.
"It is your opinion that I lie about
this wood, is it?" she asked as she let
herself down to the ground.
'I don't Bay that," he answered, as
he looked up at her, "but I do -ay ."
"You do say that this is green wood,
do you ?" she interrupted, letting the
old bed qui It drop from her shoulders.
I say, madam, that that -.
'You say what?"
She was a head the tallest. She
didn't look harmonious out of her
eyes. Fifty years of battling with the
world might have rendered her des
perate. Tbe little man thought of all
these things as a crowd began to
gather, and he softly replied : , .
"Madam,! am no judge oi wood.

The Serpent and the Slanderer.
The serpent was once asked: "Pray,
what profit hast thou in depriving
other beings of their life? The lion
kills and eats: tbe wolf strangles and
devours; other savage beasts destroy
to testify their ravenous appetite. But
thou alone strikest the innocent vic
tim, and infuseth thy bodly venom
without any other gratification than
the fiend-like pleasure of destroying."
And why do you ask me? replied
the serpent. "Rather ask the slander
er what pleasure he has in scattering
his poison, and morally wounding
those who never injured him? Be
sides. 1 kill only tnose woo are near
me. He destroys at a distance. He
scatters his deadly venom here, and &

A
New Invention. A Success.
A Novel-
ty. A
Necessity. A Great Difficulty
Overcome. It produces a good fire from the
most inferior wood. It blows the fire equal
to a bellows. It ventilates the fire from out
side the room. It prevents the cold air current-through
the room.. It increases 'the
warmth and equalizes the temperature. It
collects the as-hes in a box convenient for
removing. The fire being freedfroaa ashes,
ventilation is more eflectually applfecl. It
greatly improves the looks or appearance of
the fire place by keeping it free from ashes.
It prevents the downward air current in the
chimney which gushes the smoke into the
room. Oi 1 in starting the fire is rendered al
most useless. It can be so arranged as to
draw the impure air from the basement.
This device is self operating. The air being
let on or shut off at pleasure. It is quite an
ornament to the fire-place. Will last a life
time, and can never get out of order.
Now on exhibition and for sale atSprings'
new building, second storv, room No 4, op
posite E J Allen's Jewelry Store, Trade
Street.
Call and examine its construction and
operation and be surprised.
