R&gie or Poland China Hogs. We give Mr. Magie's account of the origin | of the Magie or Poland China breed of hogs : “ When quite a young man I commenced operations in forming this breed of swine while living with rav father, who was a far mer and breeder of fine stock generally. The raising of fine horses, however, was his chief delight, and that branch of the stock busi ness received more of his attention than any other. He lived on his farm near Monroe, in Butler county, Ohio, but being more interest ed in hugs than any other stock, and not having seen any that came up to my idea of what they should be, I conceived the thought of how I might possibly improve them, and at once began operations ns follows : I de termine! to purchase a few of the best swine theu bred in our community, and I obtained the best specimens that I could find of the following four 6pecies, of which I will soon give a description, namely : the Poland, Irish Grazier, Big China and By field. Though these were the best swine of which T then had any knowledge, yet none of them exactly' filled my r ideal. I commenced the crossing in 1837, and in 1840 had so far realized my' ideal as to get an altogether new species of swine, which was called for a long time by own name, which name was also adopted by' the Illinois Swine Breeders’ Convention. Some of these swine I purchased of the following gentle men : Of the Irish Graziers, I obtained some of Air. A. Iveever, of Warren county, Ohio ; the Byfields I purchased of Mr. Vandyke, of Butler county, Ohio, and the Polands I got of ray father, Benjamin Magie, of Butler county-', Ohio, and Mr. Michael Brown, of Warren county, Ohio; and the China bogs I purchased of the Shakers, of Union Village, Warren county, Ohio. The following is a description of the four breeds used in the formation of this swine : The Poland was a spotted swine, with more black than white. His hair was pretty heavy, often curly, and of medium quality. He had a tolerably fine bead ; a long round body ; fine drooping ears, dished face ; good bowe ; Gne tapering limbs ; pretty square hams and shoulders, but was not so deep a swine as the China. He had good early' fattening quali ties, and was a fine grass hog ; had a good hardy constitution, and was a quiet, docile swine, and was the best of any of the four crosses which 1 used, ami yet it was my' de sire to improve on him. The By field was a coarse, lop-cared, deep sided hog, heavy limbed and a r,low fattener while young ; fiat in the hams and shoulders, short on the back ; grew very tall, and had rather ill-shaped limbs; he was a spotted swine, the color being what is commonly termed a muddy sandy, not a clear and dis tinct white or black ; he was not a very good grass hog; he would grow in time to be the largest hog of any of the four crosses. The Irish Grazier was a white, thin-haired swine, with a few dark colored spots on the skin ; had rather small and erect cars ; had a small head and dished face ; his neck was not very heavy, and his body was rather long and round, and his legs were not very short; his bone was light, bis shoulders and hams were good ; his temperament was rather nerv ous ; his constitution not the strongest when young, but ho fattened well when one yea? old and over ; was a good grass hog, and one of the best breeders we had. The Big China was mostly a white swine, with a blue skin and a few black and sandy spots; Tie bad a good constitution, was : large hog, and of the coarse order ; had a coarse head and ears, good neck and jowl ; was broad in the face and heavy in the muz zle ; had short legs ; not very deep sides ; he did not fatten very readily when young; in comparison to the Irish Graziers, he was more dociip, but not so good a grass hog. Now these are the foundation of the present popular and profitable swine in question. From these I undertook to got a hog that would fill my thought. I bred the Poland to the Irish Grazier, and the Byfield to the Big China, and consequently, as the result of the crosses, I had two new and distinct species ofswine. But I was not done; so then I bred the best specimen of the offspring of the two. and then I found what I had long beer, looking for—a fine hog, and much better than any which had vet come to rav knowledge. A Genuine Giant. ARRIVAL IN AMERICA OF CHANG. THE BIGGEST MAN IN TIIE WORLD. Chang has arrived. For years vague rumors have been circulated to the effect that Europe had a giant t hat the Tritons them selves might envy. If an American. Austra ban. or Canadian giant was produced, souk scoffing foreigner was always ready with “Call him a giant? Chang can swing his arm over this fellow's head and not touch him/’ When the City of Berlin reached her wharf in New York the cabmen fell back in dismay at the apparition which loomed up and picked his way carefully down the gang-plank. This was Chang. He walked up to a coach with majestic tread and. resting his hand lightly on the seat which was above an ordinary man’s head, looked down upon the driver and, smiling, said in perfect English : FOR THE PEOPLE. Can you drive my secretary and myself !to the Spanish Hotel at No. 23 Great Jones street ?” “Can—can you get in tho carriage?” stammered the Hackman. “Oh, yes, easily,” and the giant crouched down until his knees nearly reached the ground, an 1 half-slid, half-crammed himself into the vehicle. A S>m reporter called at the Spanish Hotel in the afternoon and saw sitting on an im provised scat of twochairs, with heavy boards Laid across, a presence which seemed to fill the whole room. Chang is unquestionably the largest man in the world. He is gigantic. As he sat there smiling and nodding, his thoroughly Chinese face looked fully as broad as an ordinary man's shoulders, and as long, if not longer than a flour barrel. His cheek bones bulge out, and are as large as a full sized orange. He is thirty-three years old, is the son of a wealthy silk and tea merchant of Pekin, where'be was born, is well educated, speaks, reads and writes English, German, French, Italian and Spanish, and is thorough ly courteous and gentlemanly. With Chang is his “ secretary,” a bustling, busy’, earnest little Frenchman named Noaud, who looks upon the giant with admiration and delight. “What kind of a trip did you make?” asked the reporter. “Extremely’ rough. The majority of the passengers were quite ill ” “ Oh, but Monsieur Chang was not one little bit sick. Oh ! no, no. no,” interrupted the little secretary. “We bad to have two staterooms made into one, and a berth eleven feet loug built expressly for him. He wasn’t sea siek a bit. He sang a Chinese song, for the passengers in a concert on the steamer last Monday with immense success. Oh, he's a great fellow !” “ What is your exact height, Chang ?” “ I have never been measured, monsieur. With our people it is a superstition which takes the form of a religious creed, that no man roust be measured until dead. I would rather die than allow myself to be measured. In fact, if I vrere measured I would die at once, I fear. I am, however, somewhere in the neighborhood of nine feel. I will stand up and you can eland beside me and judge for yourself.” Chang rose, and rising, it seemed as though he would never stop. The Sun reporter stands six feet three inches in height. He, at Chang’s suggestion, put on a high silk hat and walked under the giant's outstretched arm. neai'the shoulder, without coming within two inches of his sleeve. Then, fixing the height of his head about half way between the giant’s waist and neek, the reporter check ed off three feet at a guess and found that the crown of the Chinaman's head was surely nine feet from the floor. His hands and feet are comparatively small and. very well formed. He has exhibited before all the crowned heads of Europe and Australia, and lias been the pet of aeveral sovereigns. lie wears a solitaire diamond riug given him by the Emperor of Russia, which is valued at $1,400. Attached to Ins chain is a gold medal given him by the Berlin exhibition, which asserts that he is the largest roan of recent times, lie also has half a dozen immense diamond rings given him by* rajahs in India, mayors in Australia, and potentates from all quarters of the globe. While talking to the reporter lie suddenly dived into his vest pocket, which wa* large enough to hold an ordinary man’s head, and brought forth a ring with the official seal and monogram of Francis Joseph inscribed to “ Chang.” He also had a watch, given him by Queen Victoria, which weighs ■wo pounds and a half and lias a chain nine eet long which barely reaches around his neck and down to Ids vest pocket. [From the Athens Daily Banner. New Year's Day. BY REV. DR. ,J. GLUCK. If there is any day in the year which ought to be the day of reflection, the day of reason ing, the day when noble resolutions are formed, it should be the New Year’s Dav. Merchants who have balanced their books showing no headway, ought to reflect, reason, and resolve, how to stop the leaks ; else their frail ship will sink—sink when they are old and feeble and unable to swim against the current and swift tide. Young men who are to fortunate as to have steady employment and have saved nothing from their last year’s earnings, ought to resolve on that day to live less extravagantly, to wear not so fine clothes and to have, in some good and reliable saviug institution, something laid by for the rainy days of life, when sickness, unforeseen misfortune, or ohi age render them unable to work. What a blessing to have then a source to draw upon, and to be* thus saved from being dependent on relatives, or even become a person of public charity. Every young man, be he rich nr poor, ought to be careful of his means and reraemberthatfoolssquan lertheir raonev, but the wise husband it ar.d use it for benefi cent and noble purposes. Young men ought to be the staff and shield of their old parents, their sisters, their younger brothers, and to become useful members of society. What a ; blessing to all, when a father or a mother can proudly and conscientiously say our sons are useful members of the family and society. They are pillars on which the welfare of the family and of the State may safely rest. To be such a son, one cannot be a spendthrift or dreamer; but he must turn his quarter twice before lie decides to spend it—one who dreams not with his eves open, but who works with a fixed purpose. The New Tear's Day should be the very day on which bachelors should decide to give up single blessedness and become double blessed, by entering the holy shrine of mat rimony ; for no man is complete unless he marries, and when he is married and happily mated, his best qualities are drawn out to his own great benefit and to that of humanity. If men wish to prosper, live happy, make their mark in the world, and not pass away like a shadow on the wall, let them seriously look around to And the right person and marry, and thus fulfill the wise precept: ” Marry and multiply.” A married life is the only true life to live. New \ ear’s day should be the day to make a last will and testament, especially if the estate is large, and when making our will it would not be amiss to remember these wise words : “It is not ray intention to leave to my children too much of an inheritance, for too much money only spoils them.” Let ns leave them less money but more of a good example, and above all a good name ; a good name is a fortune in itself. Remember also the public institutions liberally, and your name as benefactor will go down to posterity. The New Year's day should also be the day on which the more favored, tho more fortunate, should remember the less favored of his family, not to give them money, for that would degrade them ; but to assist them, directly' and indirectly, so that they, too, might get along better in this world ; and if they have 6o decided upon, let them remain firm to carry out their noble resolution, even if they receive no thanks but ingratitu lo in return, they will have one great satisfaction —that of having done their duly toward lbos *> who possess a claim on them through family ties. New T ear’s day should bo the day on which the poor at large should be remembered and appropriations be made for the coming years, and as the year advances, not to decrease, but rather increase the benevolent gifts, thanking God that we are able to give—that we are the givers, and not the suppliants. New Year's day should be the day for heads of families to review calmly the past year; to see where and when mistakes were made, and to make & note of it, in order to avoid them in the future, If they know, after ma ture reflection, that their children do not as sociate with the right company, to reason with them in time, ere it is too late, and re member that n kind word goes farther than a harsh one. New Year's day should also be the day to examine ourselves in a religious point of view. The beast, which pastures on the field, or is fed by the hand of man, is not endowed with tliat blessed intellect to think of the great hereafter, it is man only who is so blessed ; and therefore, shall we not reason and reflect on that which concerns us the most —the life beyond the grave ? Can sins be forgiven? We have our serious doubt. Sins can be re moved only, and atoned for by sincere re pentance and a multitude of good deeds. T hen it is within the power of every one to be purified of their sins, through siucere re pentance and through a multitude of good deeds, and every one. be he ever so poorly educated, or so poor in means, has it within his power to repent, to do good, and thus the soul will return pure to the great Spirit, the giver of all that is good— The love of mankind is thine. Of which none will rob thee And Ood will love thee. How Watches are Wade •lt will be apparent to any one, who will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the necessary thickness for en graving and polishing, a large proportion of the precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually need !ess so far as utility and beauty are con cerned. IX JAMES BOSS’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of pre cious metal is overcome, and the same so lidity and STRENGTH produced at from ono third to oue-haif of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows : a plate of niokle compo sition metal, especially adapted to the pur pose, Ims two plates of solid gold soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the re sult is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bevels. &c.. are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sulli ciently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASE M.IDI WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER TIFICATE. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus trated Catalogues, and to see warrant.

Thfl Cincinnati Tim**, hi answering tbd question, Fs it wrong for a lady to *'m a gentleman when parting, after he has eacurt c.l her home in the evening ?" says this is a question not devoid of difficulties. and we therefore approach it with some degree of hesitancy. Kissing was originally a mode of salutation only, and in some countries, we believe, it is now restricted to that nse. As such it expresses rereranco or worship. El is common. nl9o. in this country and else where to kiss the hand in salutation. To ex press adoration, various parts of the body were and are fd*e<l to distinguish the charac ter of the adoration paid. Thus, to kiss the lips is to adore the bring breath of the per son saluted ; to kiss the feet, or ground, is to humble oneself in adoration ; to kiss the gar ments. is to express veneration to whatever belongs to or touches the perrou who wears them. There are, nowadays, various kinds of kisses, having various meanings: ••The kiss snatched hasty from the sidelong maid.” (Thompson); kisses “ like grains of gold or silver found upon the ground, of no value themselves, but precious ns showing that a mine is near” (Villiers); •• the kiss of wel come and of parting—the long. Angering, loving present one—the stolen or the mutual the kiss of love, of joy and of sorrow—■ the seal of promise and the receipt of fulfill ment (11aliburton); tho " loug, long kiss, a kiss of youth and love” (Byron). The kiss *’of parting,” spoken of by Haliburton, is the one under consideration. Is it proper for a young lady to indulgo in it? On genera! principles we should say that, if you have reason to admire the gentleman who escorts you home, and really feel like kissing him, do so ; if not, refrain. If you loro anothor, refrain. It might be advisable, also, to ro. iruui if the old folks are in hearing distance* Lost by Net Advertising. A gentleman sold his house in this placft at private sale. Shortly afterwards he came into our office and said : “ I have loat S2OO by not advertising my place for sale in your paper.” ” How is that ?” ” Why, a citisen said he had been wnntiug that place for a iong time, and if he had known it had been for sale, he would have given me S2OO more for it than I received.” So much for not ad vertising.—Marietta Journal. We car see that and go a little bettor. A gentleman of our town sold a place for $1,200, without advertising it, immediately afterward a gentleman came and told him he wanted the place, but had no idea it wan for sale, and would give $1,500 for it, and $25 to the gen tleman to secure it for that price. The new owner of the place, however, wanted $2,000 for it. So at least $250 was lost by not ad vertising to the amount of three or four dol lars.—Griffin Sun, The fanners during the past year have sent out of the country $700,000,000 worth of stuffs digged out of the ground or raised on top of it. ihej' have kept the balance of trade in our favor, and have kept all the wheels of manufacturing industry turning around. At the same time they have paid tho bulk of tho taxes on imported commodities. Our whole commercial fabric stands on this basis. '* Yet.” remarks an exchange, “ the yelping protectionfsts who are fed from the bounty abstracted from the farmers’ earnings, ascribe our prosperity to themselves. They stand so much in the sunshine that they think they light the world.” An Exodus Scheme Exploded. New York, December 19.—T0-day’s Tri bune publishes an interesting interview with Geo. \\ . V\ iiliatns. a colored member of the Ohio Legislature, who recently returned from New Mexico, where ho went to investigate the proposed scheme to promote an exodus of Southern blacks to the Sebastian Martin grant in the territory, under the auspices of the New \ ork Land League. Williams’warns his race against the scheme and presents let ters from Governor Lew Wallace and Brad ford Prince, Chief Justice of New Mexico, in support of iiis evident conviction that it i simply a selfish speculation, which must re sult in disaster to those who trust it, at Icaafc in its present shape. Hamilton Journal: “Conductor Hinee Holt has discovered the youngest deadbeat, perhaps, in this Yankee nation, and one whoso genius i as remarkable as his precocious de velopment. This young scion of Africa is only eight years old and has succeeded twice in stoaling a ride from Columbus to Hood. Last summer he hid himsef in a freightcar that was boing loaded for Hood, where he was landed iu tiie course of the afternoon. Ho was found by the rad road men who unloaded the car, and it was with difficulty that he was resuscitated. Last week he sought to make the samotrip, but this time he sonct a cooler berth, and ensconced himself in the closet of the baggage car, and with a firm hold upon the door knob he suc ceeded in eluding the conductor until the train had nearly reached its destinations. How will lie make the next ?” The CalhouT Timex reports the narrow es* cape of a Mr. Wooddy and his family, of (Jor don county, one day last week. He was crossing a river in a ferrv boat, his family being in a wagon, when the boat sank and the wagon body floated down the river about a mile, carrying Mrs. Woo ldv and her thrift children, who were seated therein, with it. Fortunately all escaped, and the only life that was lost was that of one of the horses. NUMBER 31.
