BAGGAGE TRAIN,

The Entire Porcine. Mr. L. P. Simmonds, in the Quarterly Journal of Agriculture gives an entertaining' account of how they "go the whole hog" out West. fsays: . What crocodiles were in Egypt, wlmr cows are in Bengal, or storks in Holland, pigs are in Cincinnati, with this trifling difltrence, their sacredness of character lasts but as long as their mortal coil; and this is abbreviated without ceremony, and from the most worldly motives. In life, the pier, if free, is honored; he ranges the streets, he reposes in thoroughfares, he walks beneath your horse's legs, or your own; lie is every where respected: but let the thread of his existence be severed, '. find, shade of Mahomet, what a chance! They think in Cincinnati of nothing but making the most of rum. tlow many of his kind ptnsh annually to cement (he vast prosperity of the city of hogs can scarcely be told. About 20 years ago Cincinnati contained only one fifth of its existing population. A few bold speculators began the trade. Selecting the hams and sides of the animals, they made up pickled pork; of the rest they took small account. Soon, however, the idea occured to one more acute than his fellows, that the head and the feet nay, even the spine and the vertebrae might be turned to account; trotters and cheeks had their partisans, and these parts looked up in the market. About this time the makers of sausages caught the inspiration. They found these luxuries saleable, and so many pigs were to be slaughtered that the butchers were willing to do it for nothing; that is to say, for the perquisite of the entrails and offal alone. The next step was due to the genius of France. A PYenchman established a brush manufactory, and created a market for the bristles, but his ingenuity was outdone by one of his countrymen, who soon after arrived. This man was determined, it seems, to share the ' spoil; and, thinking nothing else left, collected the fine hair or wool, washed, dried, and combed it, and stuffed matresses with it. But he was mistaken in thinking nothing else left. As but little was done with the lard, they invented machines, and squeezed oil of it; the refuse they threw away. Mistaken men again. This refuse was the substance of stearine candles, and made a fortune to the discoverer of the secret. Lastly came one who could press cliemistery to the service of mamon; lie saw the blood of countless swine flow through the gutters of the city; it was all that was left of them, but it went to his heart, to see it thrown away; he pondered long, and then, collecting the stream into reservoirs, made prussiate of potash from it by the ton. . The pig was' thus used up, and nothing else was left to turn to profitable account. A large trade is carried on in sausage skins; the ntrails and bladders fetch a good price. Tlie congealed grease, forming the lard of commerce, is in extensive use for culinary purposes, for perfumery, ointment, salves, fec. The oil expressed from lard is chiefly used for burning, for lubricating machinery, and generally as a substitute for olive and other oils i A Cat Fight. The following account of how Mike Maloncy caught a cat, narrated by "The Old Patriarch," will be read with interest. Mike hated cats, and when Biddy told him there was one "behind the big chist in the corner," he resolved to kill her, but to do so it was necessary to catch her first, and; for want of a better trap, lie made a bag of one of Biddy's petticoats. Holding this close against the edge of the chist, lie took a look behind and saw a pair of bright eyes glaring at him. "An' is it there ye are, ye divil? Be out o' that now; bad luck to all yer kin, ye thavin'" vagabond ye. Bedad, an' ye won't leave me house thin at at all wid perlite axin? Yer self-will bates a pig's, entirely. Biddy, have yez lany hot wather in the house?" "Yes, Pve a plinty, Mat.; the tay kittle's full of it." "Be afther castin'. the, matther of a quart thin behint the chist, till I say how the shay divil likes it." '"Hould 'im close, Mat.; here goes the wather." " Dash went the water, and out jumped the animal into Mat.'s trap. "Arrah, be the howly poker, I have 'im in, Biddy," says Mat., drawing close the folds of the garment; "now, bad 'cess to yez, ye thafe,' it's nine lives ye have, is it? Be afther axin' me forgiveness for the thavin' ye have been doin' in me house, for I'm thinking the nine lives ye have won't save ye now, any way. Biddy, seize lioult uv the poker, an' whin I'll shoulder the hatheri you'll bate the daylight out ov 'im." Mat threw the bundle over his shoulder, and told Biddy to play "St. Patrick's day in the morning" on it. Biddy struck about three notes of that popular Irish air and suddendly stopped, exclaiming : " What smells so quare, Mat? It's a takin' me breath away wid the power uv it. Och, murther, Mat., sure an' ye have the divil in the sack." "Bate the ould hathen, thin'; yez "ill niver have a better chance. .Bate the horns off 'im ; lather 'im like blazes, me darlint!" "Augh!" says Biddy, "I'm faintin' with the power uv 'im. Cast 'im off yez, Mat." "Howly St. Pather!" says Mat., throwing down the sack ; "Biddy, the baste is a pole cat! Lave the house or yez 'ill be kilt intirely. Murther an' turf, how the haythen smills. Och, Biddy Maloney, a purty kittle o' fish yez made uv it, to be sure, to be mistakin' that little divil for a harrumless cat." "Mat., for the love o' God, if yez convanient to the door, be afther openin' it, for I'm narely choked wid 'im. Och, Biddy Maloney, bad luck to yez for lavin' ould Ireland, to be murthered in this way. ' Howly Mary, pertict me! Mat., I'm clane kilt intirely take me out o' this!" Mat. drew her out doors and then broko for the pump like a quarter-horse, closely followed by Biddy. "Sure, that little vil-'; lain bates the divil intirely; he's ruined me house, . an' kilt Biddy, an' put me out o' consate wid mi-' self for a month to come. Och, the dessavin'vagabone, bad luck to 'im," and Mat. plunged his head into the horse-trough up to his shoulders. "Get out o' that, Mat., I'm narely blind," and Biddy went under water. "Och, the murtherin' baste," says Biddy, sputtering the water out of her mouth, "me best petticoat is spoilt intirely. , Mat. Maloney, divil a trap will I iver help yez : sit for a cat igain." . "Don't trouble yerself, Misthress Maloney, you've played the divil as it ' is. Niver fear me axin' a hap'orth o' yer assistance. It's a nath'ral fool ye are, to be takin a baste uv a pole-cat fur a house cat." Mat. and Biddy went cautiously back to the cabin, from which the offensive quadruped bad taken his departure. Things were turned out of doors, Biddy's petticoat burried, the bed, which fortunately escaped, moved to a near neighbor's, the stove

moved outside, and for a week 'they kept house out of doors, by which time, by dint of scrubbing, washing and airing, the house was rendered once more, habitable, but neither Mat. or Biddy have forgotten the "strange cat." i 'i j Snaix. 'Please to 'phanzy the pheelinks' of a timid young man within the 'twenty to fifty yards inspiring distance of a snake iwclev feet in diameter and one hundred and twenty in length! , :, 'The' 'Sea' Serpent' isn't worth mentioning, and it altogether beats the wonderful Joint Snake I heard of in one of the Western States, said to have the power of separating itself into several parts, and afterward uniting again at its pleasure. About that joint-snake, 'thereby hangs a tale': 'A 'stranger' was describing the wonderful powers of this 'pizing sarpient' to a knot of individuals congregated 'somewhere out West.' They listened with open eyes and mouth agape with astonishment at the startling account. But the assurance that it could separate itself 'clean

apart in five or six places,' and 'come together agin as slick a "jint as ever you see, was a little too much to believe all at once. As a public speaker once remarked, they 'doubted the fact,' and intimated as much. , "That's so, I've seun it,' quietly remarked a very honest and innocent-looking hoosier, who stood by. , " : , , "Shol ye don't say so! Tell us about it, won't ye?' exclaimad two or three in a breath. "Wall, I don't mind tellin,' said the hoosier. 'Yer see, I was comin' 'lonsr the edje of the perayre one mornin,' down in Indyanner, when lust I know, 1 come across one of these ere j intsnnkes, as they call 'em, a great nice feller, stretched out in the sun as pooty as ever you see. I didn't scare him, but jest stepped back a little ways, and cut a saplm about four feet and a half long, and trimed it out slick with my jackknife. Thinks I, old feller, I'll find out pooty quick how many j'ints you got in yer. So I stepped up kinder softly, and hit him a right smart lick across his back, and by thunder !' "Did he come apart.' What did he do then" asked the listeners, very much excited. "Why, lie new into more n forty pieces! and 4 It be doggoned if every darned one of em. didn t tale right after me!" Knickerbocker Magazine Baby Show in Boston. Barnum and Col. Wood save a Baby Show in Boston on Tuesday last. The Courier says: "Ihe strangest looking people ever seen to gether are met at this exposition ; and it may be said, figuratively, if not truly, that baby shows make strange bed fellows. Here is a tall fellow, with a most laughable quirk in his nose with' a short wife leaning heavily on his arm ; he all wonder; she grinning, and handsome only' in repose ; there is the brilliant essayist, trying to be alone ; there goes but it won't do to name him. The giantess walking the hall and her gait terrific a three legged elephant would be more gracetul. ihe tat maiden runs against a nervous man ; and Col. Wood directs a man with the very curious hair to play the piano. Every thing is disjointed ; the show is unusual a theme for a farce with two rogues in it and wearied with the want of refinement; tired of the bowlings of restive babes, whose little eyes are ready to jump from their sockets from the effects of the glaring gas,' the visitor retires more in sorrow than in anger."."'. An opposition "nigger" baby show was gotten up, and perfectly eclipsed the white show. First place, the colored babies were the prettiest; and in the next place, fathers, mothers, and babies behaved themselves the best at the darky show.. i .The Courier says that the drollest thing of these baby shows was a white woman with a black infant. At last accounts, a lady lec.turer was endeavoring to account for such an anomaly. Cost of Keeping up a Fashionable Church. One hundred dollars a Sunday is about the expense of a fashionable church in Boston, we learn from a recent paragraph in the Boston Transcript. In New York the expense is not far from five times that sum. We will figure up the expenditures of one church in this city, the affairs of which we happen to be somewhat acquainted with. The church, parsonage, library, etc., cost, in round numbers, $500,000; the annual interest of which sum at 7 per cent., is $14,000. The pastor's salary is $4,000, that of his assistant is $500. - The presents annually given to the pastor we believe, do hot average less than $500; presents to his assistant, say five dollars. The singing, with the salary of the organist, repairs of the organ, and wages of the blower, costs very nearly $1,600. .. , -; The cost of cleaning, including the salary of the sexton, will average about $900 a year. ' i The annual depreciation in value of the build ing and its contents, by use and time, may be computed at as l.uuo. ' ,. . , The cost, therefore, of maintaining the church for one year is $22,505, which is equal to $432,78 per Sunday. forty smart mechanics, working steadily all the year earn about so much as it costs to support this church. .... tor $22,505 a year, two thousand children could be kept under instruction in good schools.' It would maintain a college of five hundred students in the highest efficiency. 1 it would support twenty-two country church es, or eight city churches in a liberal manner. However, we must add,' that there , are not more than ten churches in the city conducted upon anything like the scale of the one to which we refer; though there are three which probably exceed it. X.
