DEATH OF MILES O'llElLLY.—General Charles
G. Halpin., the American journalist, better known as
Miles O'lteilly, died on Sunday, the 2nd, at the Astor-
house, New York, after a few hours' illness, of co on
of the brain. The deceased was in his 39th year.
the war he served on the staff of General Hunter, and i
was while in that position, says the New York Times,
that he wrote to one of the New York papers an amusing
correspondence signed "Miles O'Reilly, private of the
Forty-seventh Regiment N. Y. V. Infantry, Tenth
Army Corps." Miles gave a ludicrous account of the
trouble he had got into by writing some poetry compli-
mentary to Admiral Dahlgren, of bow he bad been
thrown into prison and maltreated in various ways. For
some time the correspondence was supposed by the public
to be genuine, and much commiseration was expressed for
the poetic but unfortunate Miles. The truth, however,
came out at last, and from that period to the day of his
death General Hatpins was better known by the name of
Miles O'Reilly than by his own.
AN ELEPHANT AT LARGE.—The elephant of the
American menagerie, Myers and Bell, lately sold by auc-
tion at Havre, was placed provisionally in a stable in the
Rue SOT. A few nights back the huge animal was sud-
denly seared with a desire to take a little exercise, so it
broke its chain, forced open the door of the place, and
went to the Place Louis-Philippe, whore it walked about
for u time. In the course of its perambulation, meeting
with a gas pillar, it broke it down like a rod. The keeper,
however, being warned of what was going on, hurried to
the sa et, end had uo difficulty in replacing his charge in
its former reeling plaoe.
