Another party has risen in Melcna Del Sur. It has 300 men, and the third party is at Ybarra, the place where the rebellion hrst broke out, and where quiet was restored last February. In the last party there were lfiO men. The news of these rising havo caused great excite ment in Havana. It isalso reported that Maximo Gomez has left 2,500 men in Camagury and with 2,000 1- ?

F. A SEAOJNCT PORKER. Fed on Plum Puddinc Aorosa the Pacific Twice Be Grew Fat on Food That Would Have Killed Ordinary Infauts Ills Last Vojaco Did Not Trouiise to Uo So Intereatljiir. Some months ago Capt. Morse, of tbe Alameda, was charged by a stock-raising friend iu Sydney to bring him over an aristocratic pig to improve the blood of the plebeian Australian swine. The steamer eaptalu found the pig and brought him on board the Alameda two months ago. He was a dainty little thing, with a pink nose and a con tiding way that won the hearts of the passengers before the steamer had crossed the bar. He squealed so pathetically when the time for seasickness came that the captain yielded to his passengers' interces sion and took him out of his box on the deck. They tied a blue ribbon around his neck, and presently the curl came back to his dear little tail, and he warmed his cold pink lit tle nose iu the hand of the prettiest passenger in the cabin. There was baby on board, but the child did not get half the attention that was bestowed on the dainty little pig that squealed so delightfully when ever the rolling of the vessel tum bled him off his doubtful little legs. On the third day out they had plum duff fcr dinner on the steamer, and seven women and four men sur reptitiously slipped the pudding from their plates intq their napkins and stole away from the table. They met at the little pig's box and began to feed the sweetmeat to the infant porker. An alarmed cry checked the feeding. "You'll kill that poor little thing!'' shrieked a mother; ''plum pnddiug, and he only three weeks d!" She had some soft bread soaked in sweet milk, but that willful pit? hardly noticed it. After that there was a regular procession from the cabin table to the box on deck. No women and few men left that table without something for the little pig. The mother waited gloomily for the fulfillment of her dire prophecy, while the pig trot so fat that his lit tle leys bowed under him. On the tenth day out the door on the pig's box was enlarged, as he could no lonyer pass it. On the fif teenth day one end of the box was knocked out for the same reason. At Samoa they built a new and larger box. The daily pilgrimages with delicacies from tho cabin table continued and the foreordained sire of a noble line grew in popularity as well a size. There were jealousies among the passengers over the pig mid charges that he was getting things that were not good for him. 1 he blue ribbon had long ago be come too small and he ate it with soine blanc malign one afternoon. The ship's phv-doian said it would not hurt him. At last the Alameda reached Syd ney and the passengers fed their pet for the last time. Hut when it came to sending him ashore a stern man in uniform stood in t lie way. He did not dispute that this was the sweetest pig in the world, but the Australian law was strict and quarantine regulations could not be disregarded. The of ficer insulted everybody by speaking 3f the pig as ''pork ou the hoof." It would take a special act of parlia ment or an order of court, or some tiling of that sort, to get the pig through the regulations, and while the man who sent for the pig was trying to arrange matters the Ala meda sailed for home and the pig on her. Tho up trip was the same as the down trip for the pig, and on the nrrivui ..f 'ho Alameda here Capt. Murse received a cablegram advis ing Lim that the difficulties had been overcome and that there was no longer any bur to the pig's entry Into Australia. They opeced the door of the box to give the pig au outiniz on the 3ock, but he could hot cveTi get ETs Iiead through, and they had to knock the box to pieces to get him DUt. On Saturday the Alameda sailed for Australia, and in a lai-f,rc pen on' fleck was a huge hog. The cabin passengers snilTed disdainfully when $be wind blew their way and made remarks about a steamship company that permitted swine on 'Vok. -Saa Francisco Chronicle. CHANGED THEIR MINDS. 1 Supremo Court Justices Overrules by Their Wives. It was a matter of some surprise that Justice Shiras, of the United States supreme court, should havv changed his mind some time ag upon a matter of law, but it is 110s mauy months since the whole courk changed their mind on such a mat ter, and that in the course of a few days, says the New York Sun. The case before the court was ono arising out of a customs decision au this port, and the counsel arguing igainst the decision of the custom house was a New York lawyer, theti for the first time before the supreme court. The case turned mainly unon j the question whether au article ci j importation should or should not bij classed as a saiice. The custom j house had called It a sauce, and ' taxed it accordingly. The govern . ment maintained this contention, ! and, of course, the New York law. yer sought to show that the article 1 snouia not oe classed as a sauce. ! When the supreme court came to ' ftlincnlt. Itnnn tlia fl.n!. rooua opinion was favorable to the contention of the government, and one of the justices was instructed to prepare a decision in favor of the custom house. The justice, on re turning home, told his wife of the case, and indicated tbe ground of the decision; whereupon the lady told him iu plain words that the justices of the supreme court did not know what they were talking about, and had agreed upon an unjust decision The lady was entirely clear that the article in dispute could not properly be called a sauce and openly ridi culed the court. The perplexed justice, instead of preparing the decision in accordance with the instructions of bis breth ren, did nothing in the matter, but at the next opportunity unfolded to the other justices his (wife's view of the matter and asked them to seek domestic counsel on the case and report at the next consultation of the court. "When that consultation came round the justices, having taken feminin counsel, all reported against their original view that the article iu volved in the case should be classed as a sauce, and accordingly the ju9 tice originally charged with the task of Qreparinga decision in favor of the government was now instruct ed to prepare one in favor of 'he New York lawyer's client. It thus happened that the lawyer on his first case before the supreme court because the wives of the justices knew more than the court itself EASILY SWINDLED. The Stranger Was Too Ready to Help the Powerful. 4 I; was sitting Jn a railroad depot In Buffalo, says a writer in the De troit Fjee Press, waiting for a train when a stranger approached me and said: "It's kinder queer how hard up the best of us may get sometimes eh?" "How do you mean?" I asked. "Wall, I just met the governor of New York out here, Levi P. Mor toa, and he asked me for the loan of two dollars." "You don't say!" Ihats what s the matter. Had his pocket picked and wanted to use two dollars right away. He didn't know what to do about it till he saw me." "You know him, then?" "Never sat eyes on him afore to day. He je.st picked me outer tbe crowd fur a man who'd do him a favor. He only wanted two dollars but I made him take three. He'll rnd it back in a day or two. Ever meet the governor?" "I've seen him several times." Early Postage Rates.

Railroad for the Paris Fair. In preparing for the Paris exposi tion of 1930, the officials have not lost sight of the necessity of making adequate provision for the transpor tation of visitors. For their expe dience in the world's fair in 1889 they have realized that improve ment in the transport service is urgently demanded.

FIRST FLAG INTO RICHMOND. Massachusetts Cavalry Carried It Upon the Confederate Evacuation. Charles "Wheaton, retired captain United States army, referring to a flaw which was floated in Detroit on last Memorial day by Capt. Foster, tsays thpre is an error in crediting Capt. Foster's flag with being the first American flag carried into Richmond. Capt. Foster said the flag was floating from the steamer Commodore Perry, as she led the advance of the fleet up the James river and into Richmond on April 9. 18G5. Capt. Wheaton says the con federates evacuated Richmond on the night of April 2, 1S65, and that about, half-past seven on the morc ing of the 3d a part of the Army of the James, commanded by Maj. Gen. G. Weitzel, entered and occu pied Richmond, carrying American flags. This was nearly a week before Capt. Foster reached there on the Commodore Perry. According to Capt. Wheaton, the first American flag entering Richmond was t?ui colors of a squadron of the First Massachusetts cavalry, commanded by Maj. Atherton H. Stevens, pro vost marshal. A MONSTER FACTORY. Government Cigarette Works at Se ville, Spain. One of the sights of Seville, Spain which no tourist misses, is the cigar ette factory, in which tbe govern ment employs nearly two thousand women and girls, says tho Pitts burgh Dispatch. The showing about of visitors is accordingly looked upou as a regular source of income by the porter and matrons. After getting permission to enter, you are placed in charge of a matron, who shows you through her own department and then passes you on to auother and so on, until your stock of pesetas and b-vlf pesetas, put aside for fees is exhausted. These matrons accompany the vis itors, not in order to prevent the girls from flirting with them (noth ing could do that), tut to see that no tobacco, picadura -or cigarettes may disappear. Before entering each room a bell is rung to warn the girls, who are in great deshabille on account of the sun, to put on their wrappers, and as the door opens scores of round arms and pretty shoulders are seen disappearing while several hundred pairs of coal black eyes are fastened on you. The passages are lined with cradles and tbe young girl-mothers to whom they belong implore you with eyes and hands for a penny for the Muril los of tbe future lying in them These girls are more frank than subtle in their flirtations. There is not one in the crowd who will not be immediately conscious of a man's gaze fixed on her, nor will she be the first to turn her eyes away. Some will wink and even throw a kiss from a distant corner at the rich Inglese (all foreigners are supposed to be wealthy Englishmen). They are a merry lot on the wholp. these poor girls, the quickest of whom make only two shillings a day for which they have to toil ten to twelve hours. They are allowed tc smoke if they wish and they make use of this privilege. They are re markably deft at rolling tbe cigar ettes, but not all seem eager to make as many as possible, for some are idling and others are asleep; but not one cares, as each one is paid accord ing to the number she twists up, aided only by a piece of specially made cartridge paper and a small tin affair on her little fingr. An Interesting ' Fad, TLe collecting of miniatures ia a fashion of tbe bour, and in some drawing-rooms these treasures are massed on one small table of the Em pire period, each one in a beautiful and costly frame of its own, that is, of French gilt alone, of French gilt combined with brilliants or enameled with colored flowers. One of the most popular frames is of gilt, with a festoon of flowers held bv a bowknot with floating ends. This design is used not only for little pictures, but for delicate water colors and engravings of medium size. In cheaper frames for pictures that are to be hung, there is a liking for a pale-olive frame combined with gilt or gold. Quaint-looking frames seen on some of the Braun photo graphs of Napoleon, of Lady Ham ilton, and of Mme. Recamier are of mahogany in square and massive shapes, and looking much like old fashioned mirror frames. These frames have a line of gilt next the picture. With the exception of this beading or other ornament, they are either perfectly plain, or have fes toons and bowknots of gilt. N. Y, Post. He Kissed Her. There was a little comedy enacted at the corner of Ninth and Wal nut streets shortly before eight o'clock the other evening, which was hugely enjoyed by a small but seleol audience. A pretty vounsr lady. with black hair and big brown eyes, had Just left an adjacent restaurant with a bashful young man. The latter seemed eager to get away from his fair companion, but didn't seem to know just how to go about it. Several people who were waiting for a car were startled to hear the young woman exclaim: 'Well, you can't go until you kiss me! Of course everybody turned to look. The bashful young man grew verv red in the face, but the dark-eved maiden put up a pair of tempting red lips and waited for the Dsculatory salute. "Ahl kiss her!" remarked one of the bystanders. The bashful youth seemed undeter mined whether to take the proffered advice or take to his heels. He final ly decided upon theformercourse.and tooped over the patient, upturned face. Then there was a sounding smack, a suppressed scream, and the young man disappeared hastily up Ninth street, while the young woman trolled leisurely out Walnut. Phil adelphia Record. A Photographing Bullet. A bullet provided with a tiuy photographic outfit of its own is the latest invention of a German named Ilerr Neesen. In carrying out this ingenious idea, Prof. Neesen has provided a bullet which carries a minature photographic plate. This plate, which is very sensitive, is slipped into a slit in the bullet so as t6 receive its light through a pin hole in the conic or forward end of I the missile. In this manner a gvrat I ing line is traced on the plate, which 1 is a complete record of the bullet's ; oscillations from the moment ii I leaves the muzzle of the gun until j the impact with the target. HE GOT A BRIDE. But Not the Ono for Which He Had Taken the License. Bernard Nicora, a farmer aged fifty-five years, had the misfortune to lose a prospective bride on his wedding day, says Deseret Evening News. Healsohad the good fort unp to win another bride the next day. In looking over the field, he seems to ! think ho did well by having a quarrel just as be was about to be ! married. He lost an old bride and ! won a young one. One morning the j farmer went to Oakland in order to 1 . . rr 11 -i ... get married, no caned at tlie omee of the county clerk and announced that he was going to be wedded and wanted a license in a hurry. H got it, and again two days later stepped up to the marriage license counter. "I want to pay for another marriage license." said he. "You mean that you want to get a divorce," replied Deputy Spaulding. "Ob, no," said the farmer; "you see, I have not got my bride yet. I have made a new deal." The man from Lincoln then explained the situation, and told how lie bud missed an old bride for a young one. lie had made ail his arrangements to wed Miss Daleho. but thoy had a row just before the ceremony. The lady desired to im pose certain conditions on her pros pective husband aud wanted five hundred dollars, and he would not submit, and there was a quarrel. The wedding was declared off. Farmer Nicora was sad for a time, but he had come to Oakland to get a bride, aud he was not going homo empty handed. While he was rust ling around town he was introduced to Miss Ernestine Merchandic, a young lady of twenty-two years. He told her of his predicament and pros pects, and proposed marriagd to her on the spot. To his surprise and gratification he was accepted, and the wedding was arranged for at once. The young lady had no con ditions to impose and this suited the farmer all right. It was agreed that the nuptial knot should be tied in a few hours. Attitude of Press Toward Religion. It is frequently claimed t! at the daily newspapers do not devote the space they should to matters of re ligion. It is abo said that the newspaper is essentially an echo, not an originator; that it must cater to public demands. Well, some person has attempted to find out tho attitude of tho secular press wwaius rcugion. une result is rather surprising. Chioago is be lieved. to be preeminently a wicked irreligious city. Yet more space is devoted by her dailies to relhnous news than by the press of any other city. Ihe Monday papers in the Windy city give up many column to reporting sermons and addresses of that character. It is true that the greater part of these represent the independents and free lances But it shows that there is more of a religious spirit there than ono would suppose, even though it teud toward liberalism. Explanations of the Ocean's Salt. The Pythagqreans held that V sea was salt by reason of tears she. by Kronos, father of Zeus. Accord ing to the old Hebraic tradition the ocean was originally a great body of fresh water, but which was made salt by the abundant "tears of the fallen angels. One sectof Uuddhi believe that Lot's wife (that is t il li. 'M 1.11 ii bay lug pniar or sail which was once the wife of the humble gentle man named above) lies at the bottom of the ocean in a certain narrow biruii, ana tnat once each year the waters of all oceans flowthroug that narrow channel. Tbe Talmudic writers say that it was never sa! until Moses wept repentance atci breaking the tables of stone, THE OLDEST BOOK. A Papyrus Roll That Dates Back Five Thousand Years. Probably the oldest book in tl world is the Papyrus Prisse, one ol the treasured possessions of the great national library in Paris This document was found by Prisse 10, a tomb in Thebes, which con tained also a mummy of the first Theban dynasty. This eireum stance alone shows that the boo). certainly dates back twenty-five ccn turies before Christ, and un exami nation shows that it really belongs to a much earlier age, namely, the time of King Assa. The title reads "Injunctions of the Prajfect Ptah Hotep, who lived in the time of Assa, the King of the North aud th South." Chronology places this Assa a.t about 3350 Ii. C . and to this age it would then seem that thi book belongs. It is divided into forty-four chapters, and is written in hieratic rhythmic language. It directs it words to the higher classes, ai.o contains for tnese a series of maxims and savings. It advises those in authority to show in all their doings the characteristics of a perfect man. The ideal of the high official should be wN-dom and science, and these guides he should heed. He is further not to abuse his power, is to be modest and moderate, for only in this way can he secure the good opinion of future generations. The author tells us that he had grown to be one hundred and ten years of age, and had attained to all the honors and favors which Egyptian royalty could bestow. "Saved My Life" A VETERAN'S STORY.
