left'my loteh-Rey 'at *? home and had to
ring the old lady out of bed.
*I haled to' do it, of course,' said
Squills; 'but I could not roost out all
night on tho door mat, and when she
came down she looked the reverso of
rosy, I tali you.'
'It's extraordinary, Mr. Squills, you
can't think of your latch-key. Making
me come down night after night'?she
hadn't dono it for a year, said Squills,
?waking me out of my first sleep, and
catching my death of cold, and blowing
my nose half off with the rheumatism.'
fl tried to loot as' sorry as ifshe had
lost her latch-key,aud kuocked mc out
of bed instead.' said Squills.
'Never mind, Mr. Squills; only wait
till dear baby catches the consumption,
and then you'll wish you'd uc-vcr seen a
latch-key, perhaps.'
'Catches what, my .sweet love V
'Consumption, Mr. Sqnills. Latch
keys have brought more blessed babies
to their latter duds -than you dream of,
Mr- Squills, and I ouly hope my note
won't t-trikc into baby's lungs and curry
her off, that's all.'
'I hope she would not he abducted in
that way,' said Squills, '..ml then I saw
I was ui dor it. So, wheu 1 got upstairs,
I pulled .off iny coat and boots, put on
my dreeing'g'Aivn,.lighted my pipe, drew

Bursting of a Bog.
STRANGE 80ENE.S OF DEVASTATION iN
IRELAND.
.ii.tzok nan kmiwht
Mr. W. L. Trench, writing to tho
Lyndon Times to appeal to the charita
hie ioraid fur some uufortunnto fnaii 1 ics>
gives this account of the burstiug of an
Irish bog. Hosavs;*'
'T have just returned from inspecting
one of tho most pitiful scenes of the
sort it has been my fate to witness since
I saw the remains of the village of Visp,
in-tlie Rhone Yallcy, Switzerland, after
its destruction by flood some years
ago.
?The scene to which I refer is the
result of tho burst;og of r bo'j-, situated
about three miles east of the town of
Dunmore, in the northern part of Gal
way county. Heretofore this hog was
connected with the .Dunmore RWer, at
Du'.itnoro, by a small stream called tho
(Torrabel Hiver fit wing through aeon
tinuation of pasture and lillag.! lan Is in
its course. The le^cl of tho upper sur
faee of the bog was formerly liGO fe^t
above the sea, and that of the wator at
Dunmore 1-90 feet, showing a fall of 70
feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bog
presented the. tiMial-appearance, of tuost
of our undrain-d Dish bog;?, i. c., its
skirts, adjoining the arable land, consist
iug of high turf bauks, boiug exceeding
4y wet and spongy.
'On the first of October tho farmer
occupying a farm ou the Corrabafl strorun
nonr the bog wne "digging his potatoes,
when hosuldenly observed a brown mass
slowly approaching him. fie left his
spadeiu the ground, and wont for the
neighbors; on bis? return the m is (which
was the moving hog.) had half covered
his potato field, anfl completely hidden
Irotii stghrliU field <>f i-oi-i). with tlic cx
,.,.r.:.s ? te.vv .rt'rtbfc*' , nutated on a
kiioMfthcy sttil remain an island in th
middle of a score of desolation. This
wtts but'the cojnhVencoiucnt, since then
the bogdtas continued to advance, ia n
rolling nntt;j. conliiiuiii^ its eonr~e ri^ht
?down the valley to Dtiuuiotv. uu^yih * i
on its way fhre? farm hod*cs'. and o ?vor
ing at least one hundred and eighty
acres of pasture and arablo land to a
.depth iu some places of six fee.t. The j
unfortunate ocjnpiers of the three farms j
have beeu turned, by this visitation of
I'rovidenoa, faruiless aud homeless, with
tl;cir fumilics, on the world.
'At Duumore a small bridge has been
removed, near the junciioti ol* the Oor
rabel stream vv.'tth the Dunmore River
to afford relief to the lands up the val
ley, and a bog-laden torrent, is boing dis
charged into tho latter river. The
worst inny be said- to bo over, but the
discharging powers of that river will be
niuterially affected by this influx of sol
id matter. Thesouroe of this disaster
?'.??esenteTi a wonderful appearance. Tho
subsidence tit the discharging point can
not be less than about 35 feet. The
extent of the bog affected is most dual
ly defined by a series of bl ick 'ercv.is
Kes,' where the upper crust of the bog
has, by the subsidence below, been torn
asunder. Tho whole assumes (lie form
of a crator half a mile in diameter.
'With considerable difficulty wc pilot
ed our way to the o.mtrc. whore w s fonn 1
the brown liquid hog boiling out like a
stroam of lava aud feeding iItm moving
mass in the valley below. At the point
.where the bog burst, tho turf bauks
Were forced r'ght ov. r and romf! on
either side, and assumed somewhat the
appoarauco of'uioraines.'
'This and similar disasters to which
this country is liable must bo attributed
to the abse nce of a complete and good
system of arterial drainage*. A similar
catastrophe occurred two yoara ago, oo
cusioncd by tlio backwater of the River
Suckj npar C-asthrea.'

another brother who bad been in the

bad been honorably discharged, for
this br ther. too. he was determined to
secure a.place iu the civil service. With
this i-bjee, he went ?from department to
department, bur always w ithout success.
Finally he determined to go directly to
the president himself, und to appeal to
him to iutevvcue iu boh j.If of the dis
charged soldier. LSI r. Lincoln, it would
seem, had heard of the case before the
Treasury clerk secured the audience
with him which he sought. When the
interview had terminated, the disappoiu
ted clerk rushed back to our depart
ment and into my office, and commenced
in the most*indiscreet and iutcmpurato
manner to express his disgust with the
1'restdeut. 1 drew from him tho story
of what had occurred between the
President aud himself, and it was some
thing like this: Mr. Lincoln received
him kindly and listened to his request.
'Why don't you go dir-clTy to the
Secretaries?' asked Mr Lincoln.
'I have been to them all,' was the
answer.
'Hasn't your brother sufficiently re
covered his boa 1th to enable htm to rq
turn to the army':' imtuired the Presi

'No, sir, T think not,' was the reply
'Let mc see,' continued Mr Lincoln,

ILow The Indians Climb Trees.
Tn South America even the weakest
woman may be, not uncommonly, seeu
plucking the fruit at * ho troo tops If
the back is so smooth and slippery tint
they cannot go climbing, they use other
means. They make a-h^op of wild
vines, and putting their feet inside they
lisc it as a support in .climbing The
negro of the west coast of Africa makes
a larger hoop round the tree, and gets
inside of it, and jerks it up tho trunk
with his hands, a little at a time, draw
ing his legs up alter it. The Tahitiuu
boys tie their feet together, faur or five
inches apart, with a piece of palm bark
aud with the aid of this fetters go up tho
cocoa plains to gtaher nuts, The native
women in Australia climb the guai
trees after opossums; where the bark is
rough they chop holes with a hatchet
then one throws about the tree a rope
twice tip long as will ?o round it, puts
her hatchet on bur cropped bead, and.
placing her feet agaiust the tree and
grasping the rope with her hands, she
hitches it up by jerks, pulls herself up
tho enormous trunk, ulln?st as fast as a
man c n climb a ladder

Shortly after he went, to the bar, laid

T]ie pig is au interesting aniinil j in
fact, there is none more,so ; view him
if - ' W l11 /vv> 1 * i
as a whole or in parts. Whether Squeal
ing under a gate or worked up into hams,
spare ribs and "sassengcra," he is an
immense sucews; nothing iu nature can
compare with him. Naturalists have
never done the pig justice unless at a
late dinner; thoir description of him
applying as well to a peck of potatoes.
Tim pig was first born in North t'aro
iiua, but I never beard of his being
raisod there, the wire grass of that State
only developing his length without re
gard to breadth or thickness; the con
sequence is the farmers have io tie knots
ou his tail to keep him from slipping
through the fence cracks; to this prac
lieu is attributed the curl iu his tail.
For developing the g-eatost amount of
ciiH.sedncSB iu the shortest given lime,
the pig has no equal'unless1 it is a mule
or au Irishman. If you want him to
go iu one direction alwnys drive hfiu in
an opposite, and you arc sure to get him
to tho right place. Again, obsorvo tho
sly doviltry that lurks in the corner of
his eye while he devours your neighbors
cabbagosj combs tdto mud off his sides
ugaiust t|io freshly paintod sign post of
mine host of tho "Cat and Whistle,"
and you would believe that piggy was
a veritable Sudducco, aud did not believe
