Our esteemed Contemporary, the At- unta Constitution, is noted for its enter i prise. And on its staff there i« n reporter w ho earns his salary besides lending a I glow to the local page < very morning, which makes it look like a hill board just before the advent of a circus. This reporter is a genius; and when lie sits down to write, imaginary and impossible events cluster around his pencil point like blue- bottle Hies around a horse’s ears in July and August. When u fight between two half-grown roosters has gone through the mill between his pencil and paper, it as sumes such nil infinite* colossulnes* that it would make the Charleston earthquake want to go behind the house and kii;k itself half to death. The Constitution man woke up the other day and greased his shoes and started out nosing for items. lie found one. lie must tell it ill his own language. Gentle reader, just lean your car to the cage and hear him twitter: A wild hog created an intense excitement among the ladies and children on Hunter street yesterdoy afternoon. The hog escaped from Tye’s slaughter house. Soon after noon yesterday the hog, 4 large, vfoinu, looking creature, made his escape from the slaughter pen by lighting through the men who went in to slaughter. After getting out of the pen the hog made a dead break towards the city, and with case outran everybody who undertook to head him off. About 4 o’clock he made his appearance on Hunter street, near the cemetery. Flakes of foam were hanging from his wide open mouth, and snapping at every one who came near him, created an intense ex citement. Ladies, children and negroes were badly frightened and leaving their yards went into their houses. , Two or three negro men, in compliance with the request, of ladies, attempted to drive the hog away, but the quadruped made a dash at them and quickly scattered them. The ’phone was used toatk help from the police department, and Patrolman Holland was sent out. When the patrolman rcuched the locality he found that the hog hod taken refuge under a house. The patrolman at- tempted to drive the hog out, and in doing so, induced a young man to crawl under the house, butthohog made a dash at him, and he was compelled to get out, just barely escaping the hog’s teeth. Patrolman Holland opened fire upon the hog. The first shot struck him in the shoulder. It maddened tho hog, and with open mouth he dashed at the patrolman, who was compelled to climb a fence to save himself, but from his place of safety he fired again at the hog, killing him. With nil his capers, this hog had his faculties about him, and when a crowd of sudi looking men as they generally keep on duty around an Atlanta slaughter house came toward him with axes and knives and sinister looks, and lips (irmly set, the hog, dumb brute as he was, took in the situation at a glance. He reas oned that their intentions were not hon orable, and that they had designs upon his person. [Hero the curtain falls to the sound of slow music.] The next scene represents the hog as ‘‘lighting his way through the men who went in to slaught er him, and after getting out of the pen he makes a dead break for Atlanta.” The hog hud evidently caught on by this time, but the men hadn’t. In the meantime, if we gather the full meaning of the reporter, the city of Atlanta sat serenely on the ridge, as unconscious as Pompeii on tho verge of her destruction; men catne and went in the marts of trade and laughed and jested as they had done aforetime. Children played on the green. Women gossiped til rough- the eraeks of the buekyifnt fences. The poei- wniting, polishcddntUoned policeman walked heavily on hip beat. Inal! the city there was hustle and business and laughteranr) song. Not a muscle quiver ed nor a cheek blanched. They didn’t know the hog was coming. Hut lie was. The reporter, with a grave respect for the narration of historical events, tells us that lb ■ hog performed the wonderful feat of‘‘outrunning everybody who tried to head him off.” A hog that can outrun people who are trying to catch him and people who are. trying to head him off at the same time, desei ves his liberty and a medal instead of dying and returning to dust and sausage in a slaughter house. But we cannot stop to moralize. The plot thickens. Tim reporter now tight ens His shoe-strings and spits on His hands and humps himself into this paralyzing statement, “Flakes of foam were hanging from his wide open mouth, and snapping at every one who came near him,” It was bad enough to have a mad hog around, but when the “(lakes of foam began to snap at everybody who came near,” any man except the (Constitution reporter of a performance of the would h(ive hLred 11 h “‘ ,k und told the Girl,” a Wilmington paper driver to take him to the highest steeple Ai.k Tayi/iii is going to play tho fiddle at the inaugural ball given to his brother. He is going to play second fiddle, so to spent. Alf’s opening tune should be, “Way Down in Tennessee.” Tiikuk is not so very much difference between a New York alderman und a tramp. One walks the street wondering where he will find hail, and the other where he can get something to eat. I)n.

Mil Tiiobiik, Carlisle's opponent, 1ms given the. latter notice that he will con test his seat in congress.

But let the reporter tel! it again: "When Patrolman Holland reached the locali ty he found that the hog had taken refuge un der a house. Tho patrolman attempted to drive the hog out, and in doing so Induced a young man to cratvl under the house. Hut the hog made a dash at him nBd he was compelled to gut out. Just barely escaping the hog’s teeth." AAur this the reporter tells us that the hog got lie patrolman up a fence, and we suppose was preparing to pull down the fence when the patrolman shot him. Atlanta's park troubles are laying (Jhii’hiigo's in thesliadi’,strikoor no strike. The Knight- of Labor h-ivo never vet raised such a racket as this in Chicago. Charleston has had her earthquake, Lisbon her tidal wave, ai d Pompeii her volcanic eruptions, but Atlanta tins I had her hog fight, before which all the j others turn pale and. tremble ami melt ! away- ________ A jaw over four feet long and a petri fied heart have recently been found in the west. They doubtless belonged to the same individual. A man or woman with cheek enough to wield a four-foot jaw would naturally have a heart of stone. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. LAWYERS. ^JIMRLEfl R.

I T affords me pleasure to give you this report of the cure of our little grandchild by your Cuti cura Remedies. When six months old his left- hand began to swell and had every appearance of a large boil. Wc poulticed it, but all to no pur pose. About five months after it became a run ning sore. Soon other sores formed. He then had two of them on each hand, und as his blood became more and more tmoured it took less time for them to break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the under lip, which wits very offensive. His head was one solid scab, discharging a great deal. This was his condition at twenty-two months old, when I undertook the care of him, his mother having died when he was a li< tie more than a year old, of consumption t,scrofula of course). He could walk a little, but could not get up if he fell down, and could not move when in bed, having no use of his hands. I immediately commenced wilh the Cu icura Remedies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap freely, alia when he had taken one bottle of the Cuticura Resolv ent, his head was completely cureo, and he was improved in every way. We were very much en couraged, and continued the use of the remedies lor a year and a half. One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming in each one of these five deep Ones jnst before healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out: then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taking a doz en and a half bottles he was completely cured, and is now. at the age of six years, a strong and healthy child. The scars on his hands must, al ways remain; his hands are strong, though wc once feared he would never be able to use them. All that physicians did for him did him no good. Ail who saw the child before using the Cuticura Remedies and see the child now consider it a wonderful cure. If the above facts arc of any use to you, you are at liberty to use them. MRS. E. S.

CARGILL, Agent, oclO d&w3m I an Amazing Business We Did Sl’UA kim; “Biiltvni::ii Bays: "When Miss liandilll sang ‘The Silver Line,’ the house was carried away.” This was bad for the owner of the house. Miss Randall should try something in the greenback line, and let the house stay where it is. “TtiBCvil that men do lives after them." To none in the world’s history are these words more applicable than to Captain Kidd and his pirates bold. Beneath the sands of New Jersey lies part of the stolen treasure of these marauders of the seas. Men are still digging for and dreaming about this blood-covered gold. Thursday a man at Long Branch found two English pennies where for several months fools have been diligently dig ging for Kid I’s hidden wealth. Poor man! He lias bee seized with the same fever which has possessed more than one wretched r. orlal on these Kidd-haunted shores and is now using spade and pick axe with frantic enthusiasm. But the English pennies were doubtless dropped on the Long Branch sands by some light-hearted anglomaniac during tlie past summer, and are nothing more nor less than suggestive mementoes of a very jlioderote ki4. in the city. Scene third opens with an encounter between tho hog and the Atlanta police, with pools selling in favor of the hog. Tho motto of the Gate City police is said to be, ‘‘Get there, Eli.” But the force had forgotten to wear their mottoe out with them that day, or else they de cided that it was not exactly an fait to seek the bubble repu tation at the mouth of a hog which had just wiped the iloor with a whole slaugh ter house full of butchers, and was at that time besieging the city. Or perhaps they had heard that the whole human race has its choice between “whole hog or none,” and they chose the hitter. But the time for decisive action had arrived. The ling had thrown out ids picket line in front, Fent couriers to the rear with orders to double-quick, and was march ing up Hunter street with nuisie playing and flags flying in all the pomp and cir cumstance of war. But every occasion lias its hero. At this juncture, an At lanta man, as if realizing that the city was in danger, smothered every thought of wife and babes and rushed recklessly into a house and tcleph"'nsd for a policeman.
