LIASION BETWEEN A TRAIN AND AN
ELEPHANT.
The latest anecdote from India, though sensational
enough, is thoroughly credible. It resembles closely an
incident which is well known to have occurred several
years ago when the railway from Madras to Shoranere,
ion the lalabar coast, was first opened out for regular
traffic. This time, however, the scene is laid on a railway
in India. An a train w 44 proceeding at a fair speed the
engine-driver noticed a herd of elephants advancing
tovrards him along the line. He immediately sounded
the whistle and hin assistant put on the brake. In an
instant, however, they were into the herd. The leading
elephant, a huge tusker, was apparently only enraged by
the whistle, and charged the advancing train. There was
a tremendous concussion, the elephant was knocked off
to one side, mutilated and writhing and the train, after
• scrim of violent jolts which nearly threw it off the line,
came to a standstill against the bodies of two other
animals of the herd. There was not a great deal of
damage done, but the passengers were much frightened,
and the engine was considerably battered about in front.
The tanker was despatched by an English gentlemen who
was travelling in the train, and his tusks secured, after
which the train proceeded on itajounney. The remainder
of the herd scampered away, and turning when about a
niile off on • knoll, looked in &dazed, stupid kind of way
at the train as it moved off.

A MOODY AND SANKEY SQUABBLE.
A New York friend writes to me (says "Atlas," in the
World) that the profane in that city are exceedingly
amused, and the religious world as much scandalised, by
the news that a quarrel has broken out between the
evengelists, Messrs. Moody and Sankey. It seems that
they have very steadily and persistently given out that
they are of that apostolic type of preachers who take
nothing for their services beyond their hotel and travell-
ing expenses. Whether this Is true or not, I, of course,
cannot say only I should like to have had an answer to
the question which I asked some months ago about the
Manchester school-treat, for which Mr. Moody collected
so much money, and which has not, I believe, been given
yet. I should like, too, know what became of those
splendid gins of £l,OOO and similar slims which were
always being announced OR having just been presented to
the 'evangelists pious ladies. On these subjects me
natural curiosity is perhaps unlikely to be gratified, hot
lily correspondent tells me enough of what is going on in
New York to make sic "smile 81111i1CA." as Mr. Moody
would say, when the evengelists are mentioned. It
appears that the pair have been holding a " mission " or a
"revival," or something of that kind, in Now York, and
at the end of the performances it was discovered that they
had appropriated to themselves 6,300 dela besides 300 dols.
under the head of "consequential expenses." Mr.
Moody's explanation is that the 6,300 dolls were the thank-
offerings of converted sinners, and that, in all equity,
they were the private property of the converters. So far
so good. Only it unfortunately happens that Mr. Moody
thinks himself entitled to the lion's share, and considers
his companion is mere paid servant. Accordingly Mr.
Moody presented the "singing pilgrim " with I,ouo dots,
and kept the rest himself. Poor Mr. Sankey objected. It
had always hitherto been share and share alike, and he
did not appreciate Mr. Moody's running of with 000
dots, and leaving him with only _a beggarly 1,000 dole.
High words arose, and in the end Mr Moody informed his
"friend and fellow-worker" that if be did not like his
share of the plunder he was quite welcome to leave it,
since it would be easy to get a vocalist who could do all
that Mr. Sankey did for 60 dots, a month, and find his
own American organ into the bargain. The "sluicing
pilgrim" does not like this style of treatment, and
threatens an appeal to the Courts. If the Chicago com-
mittee summed in hushing the matter up, it is possible
that there may be a very arousing if not wholly edifying
exposure. My correspondent adds another little story
about Mr. Moody and a young lady, "moving in most
fashionable religious circles," which is comical, but I hope
not true.

THE BRAVO MURDER.
The solicitors of Mrs. Charles Bravo, Bfessrs. Brooks,
Jenkins, and Co., of Doctor'scommoons, have issued a
public notice, in which they say —"We: have been
roviested to state. ofil lahalf of Mrs. C. Bravo, that sloe is
quote unable to reply to the many hundreds of lettem o
oyolopathy she has received since the dose of this (the
Hallam) inquiry." The documents adds, "She and her
fricuols dimply feel the expressions of kinoltima which
have been conveyed to her, forming, as they do, a great
muitiolation in the severe trials she has gone through."
"Mrs. C. Bravo desire, by this statement to express her
sincere gratitude to the writers of the letters she has
reoiived."

A writer in the nityraidt in a most ably argued
letter says : Let me turn to the positive evidence.
Mr. Bravo was a young man with all the freshness of
youth still about him. He WAS 111S0 a man of the
world, knowing his rights andcapable of insisting upon
them. He was also a man in good health, with a keen
aPPreciation of those enjoymenta which make existence
tolerable. To say nothing of other things, he liked a
good dinner, was a judge of burgunsly, enjoyed a ride,
and generally had a very notion of taking care of
himself. Such a man is the lost man in the world to
commit suicide. We are :raked to believe that he wan
" ungenerous,- " welfish," " brutal." and so fcrth. An
ungenerous' selfish, brutal nia.n married to a rich wife
is far more likely to poison his wife than poison him-
self. We are further asked to believe that Mr. Bravo
took either tartar emetic or else laudanum
first, and tartar emetic afterwards. Now not only
did he know a very great deal about medicine—as the
evidence of Mr. Reyes Bell conclusively shows - but he
also, AS a barrister, must have had easy act-vex --even if
he did not possess a copy himself to Tavlon
'Medical Jurtsprudenoc." Now in Taylor's "June.
prudence "—a b.s,k which ought to have been as
familiar to Mr. Bravo as "Chitty on Contracts "-I
flied that tartar emetic produces "great heat and con-
striction of the throat, with difficulty of awallowing,
violent burning paiu in the region of the stomach,
followed by incessant vomiting, profuse purging, faint-
nese, and extreme depression. Should the case prove
fatal, death may be preceded by giddiness, insensibility,
great prostration of strength, and sometimes violent
spasms of the muscles of the extremities, which may
assume either a chronic or tetanic character." Mr.
Bravo if he had not actually read these words, yet, at
any rite, knew where to look for the law on a cane of
charter-party or bailment. Is it likely than that,
Intending to commit suicide, he deliberately chose the
most painful method of carrying such a purpose into
effect? Again, If he really poisoned himself with
either antimony or laudamun, one would at least
expect some sort .4 evidence as to where the poison
was procured, and how it was taken. There is no
proof whatever that Mr. Bravo ever purchased any
tartar emetic, although a reward of i.:500 was offered to
any who would be sufficiently obliging to swear that
he had done so. Where is the bottle from which he
took the deadly dose, or where is the paper in which
the drug was wrapped, or where is there any proof that
he was ever possessed of any poisonous drug whatever
beyond a little chloroform, which undoubtedly he had
not taken, and a little laudanum, which was certainly
not what killed him?
Lastly, 118 against this hypothesis of suicide, we
have the whole character of the man. If one thing
is more clear than another, it is that he was A most
unlikely man to court a v iolent death in a moment of
pique. I will not dwell on little details such as the
order he gave with reference to his Mktg, or the fact
that he had asked a friend down to play lawn'
tennis with him the next day. I prefer to put the
matter on the broader ground, that if Mr. Bravo had
been, as we are asked to believe, thoroughly
miserable and unhappy in his domestic relations, he
yet must have known perfectly well how to free him.
self from his troubles, and was a man of sufficient
strength of character to take, if necessary, very bold
steps. He could have obtained a judicial separation
from his wife, or have taken proceedings for doing so ;
or he could have forced upon her a 'separation by
mutual consent; or he could simply have left her,
gone back to his own parents, and thrown upon her
the responeibility of taking her own course. What
we are asked to believe is that, being wretchedly
unhappy in his married life, he preferred to Hem'
himself rather than to go his way and leave his wife
to go here ; that, being a barrister and having some
assmaintame with medicine, he deliberately chose
about the most painful of all possible methods of
committing enicide ; and that, being a thoroughly
selfish man, who had never cared for has wife, and had
only married her for her money, he yet WAS capable
of deliberately annmitting suicide because her
affections were not sufficiently set upon him. People
who can deal with hissmsistencies of this kind can
deal with anything, and are welcome, if they please, to
believe everything that Mrs. Cox has at any time
sworn or stated during the amuse of the inquiry.

TEETOTAL DuzerivEs.

Charles froward, a teetotaler, amused himself on the
night of the 7th inst, by watching the Clarence, Church.
greet, Stoke Newington, and, according to his testimony,
he saw between eleven and half-past twelve four police
exnudables on duty take something to drink outside the
house. One or more of them drank from a pewter pot,
and accordingly the informer lumped to the conclusion
that the Leverage with which the constables slaked their
thirst was "intoxicating" lie took out summonses
against them "for
.being found drinking intoxicating
liquors during the time they were on duty." The sum-
monses were returnable before Mr. Barstow, at the
rlerkettwell Polk. Court, on Wednesday. and the corn-
plainantand another teetotaler preferred their complaint,
lint not being in a Position to prove that the constables
did not drink water or ginger-beer instead of intoxicants,
the magistrate dismissed the case, and mulcted the
informer in one guinea costs, which is to go to the con-
stables.
