Mala tmtt Ung,
Tho mulo tt bog bo been a ubject
of much comment and of a much
peculation and ha by many beon ro
gurded a a myth, but thut there i
auoh a distinct and peculiar brood of
wine i a fact, a bo been clearly
4onu;ustratMl by the well known and
progressive licrkshire bn-edcrs, Messrs.
IL 1), Nlchol 6c Hon of Tennessee, who
after diligent scurcb mntuml a pair, a
boar and sow, which they now have on
their farm. The bog are tt month old
and weigh 40 pound each. They re
semble in conformation the original ra
zorbock, being angular and built upon
speed line, which in tho lower south,
or wlmt 1 formed the black lclt, would
make thorn a desirable breed in one re
spect, since they can "outrun a nigger,"
and thi qualification counts for a good
deal, cspitcially when killing time
come around. Tho bend U long and
loan; oar long, standing forward, but
not dnxiping; shoulder thicker than
any other part of the body, which is
long and wedgn shuped; bock sharp and
slightly arched; hum very thin and
lean; leg long, smull, bony and sinewy;
eye are largo and very prominent, re
sembling somewhat those of the eagle;
hair course, long and borsh, and their
feet aro identical iu every respect to
those of a mulo. They breed particolor
ed. Iu diXMitiou they are not inclined
to bo WK'luhhi, but respond in a distant
or guarded munner to good, gentlo treat
ment They soom to prefer being let
alone, a wu evidenced by Nlchol'
pair, w blch were caught after an excit
ing chase by a party of five, ably assist
ed by nine dogs. They are an interest
ing jstlr of houH, and Mr. Nlchol, chief
of tha tw luo department of the Nash
ville Centennial eiKlt ion, placd them
on exhibition there. Fanner' Hoiua

A brother living at Ht. I'aol, Neb.,
wrote me a lew day ago: "The repub
licans are bowling now about wbat
good price they bare made on wheat.
Now I do not koow very much about
politics, but accordlngto aletter recoi ved
from mother, It seems to m that tbi
prosperity bo other mason than repub
licanism," llsrei a letter which I rewired from
the same mother, dated September J,
Denmark, Europe, and I believe my
brother's ba been a similar on:
"iJjciu Ciiii.oiiBN it I a long time
since 1 beard from you, but I boj you
are all well. I am getting along in the
sain old way a ul way. 1 have bad
good work during the summer in the
goverumsnt forent, and have made bO
kronnt, but it will oon be winter now,
and then I will have no work but spin
ning and tbi wilt not keep the bread In
the bouse, and there will be so other
work because the harvest is poor. We
have bad such a drouth a we have never
seen before, in the early summer, and a
large part of the grain waa nearly
burned up. Now a harvest is going on
we have bnd ruin for nearly a mouth,
and tli rain cume down like it was from
a water spout. . The ry"-what little
there was we bare got well iu the bouse,
but the barley and oats are rotting in
the field." Jiy 8, M. Houknskn,
The Two Tribes,
To the Editor of the Isiucvkhukhti
Nkmoii, Nib., Nov, 0, 1N7 And it
came to puss that there was a country
lying to 1he westward and bordering
unto the great and mighty river and the
sod thereof was rich and did yield abun
dantly, and thi country wa governed
by the tribe of Heel and verily they
became corrupt and they did select rulers
and set them up in the chief tem
ple and other high place uud these men
were inclined to do evil mid they did
steal all In sight and lived off from the
fat of the laud aud the tribe of Heels did
continue to do these things for many
years Iu so much that the treasury was
empty and the credit of the laud bad
sunk to ninety and four per cent end the
people begun to murmur and they apake
unto one end another saying; "1'erud
venture let us bund ourselves together
iu order that we may right these
wrongs," And theite things came to
puss us foretold und they did form a
new tribe, which became known as the
tribe of lleads and they grew nod mul
tiplied und waxed strong uod they chose
men from among the tillers of tho soil
and they sent them to the General As
sembly to make laws for the people
whercuiion the leading Journal of the
tribe of Heels declared that turning the
Hayseeds into the Icglalaturewa likened
uuto the turning of swine into a parlor
and it would take many weeks after
I heir departure from the Chief Temple to
clean out the filth. Hut the tribe of
Heads heeded not theae sayings, but did
moDV itood thiuir. but lo and behold,
the chief propouuder of the law were of
the tribe of Heels and tbey did grant
mandamuses and injunctions upon the
tribe of Heads to restrain them from
enforcing ths law that were iu favor of
the common people, whereupou the
tribe of Head did select one Hllns, who
wassuniamed iiolcomb, and they set
hirn up as chief ruler in the synagogue,
but be was likened unto a kernel of
wheat in a bushol of mice seed, for the
tribe of Heels heeded not his wisesayings
and doings, but continued in their evil
ways, for they were like A nautilus of old,
ana when the time came to choose new
ruler, they said: "iiehold your man
Kilo, he Is the guilty one," whereupon
Hila arose and explained his acts and
deeds aud the people believed him, for he
was an honest ana upright man,aud they
spake unto the tribe of Heel sayiuu:
"Depart from us for ye can no longer
deceive aud mislead as, Verity your
day are numbered for we shall hence
forth choose honest men from oir ser
vants end like linccheus of old ye shall
come down," and In 'he eleventh month
of the ninety-sixth year these thing
cams to pass a foretold, and the credit
of the country grew and multiplied and
waxed strong, for all the rulers were of
Hayseed persuasion, save the High
Court of tho land and there was one
Alfred the l'ost who was chief judge and
propouuder of the law and he was yet of
the tribe of Heels and he sustained the
wrong doing of hi tribe aud did many
things that did not meet with favor In
the eyes of the people and they spake
unto Alfred saying; "(Jet yo heuce" and
peradveuture they did cast him out aud
they placed In bis stead one John, who
wassuniamed Hullivun, from Mm tribe
of Heads, who was a muii of much
boncMty, learning and ability. And when
the tribe of Heels saw what had hicn
done they went forth and sat down in
sackcloth and ashes and wept loud and
bitterly and the tears rolled down their
cheeks, even to thesl,e of black walnuts,
