SAG&cITY AND FERociTY OF AN ELE-

a native of the Barber tribe, unfortunate-
ly lost his life by provoking the elephant

would appear that this sagacious animal,
from circumstances that happened TO
him as far back as two years ago, took
q decided aversion to all Mussulmans, or
any ono approaching in their costume.
We were informed that II was customary
with the keeper To attend with his ele-
plant during the celebration of the ma
tive festivals at Saint Thome. lie would

pie ianams aud pice, which the elephan,
would pick up aud give TO him. Some
cholorlc Moorman, wishing to enlOy a
little fun with the animal, held out his
hand as If he had something TO give, aud
the elephant, having felt with his probes
els and found il was only II deception,
grew enraged, and attempted to chastise
the individual for his temerity, who, on
his part, found his cholar rising, and
fang his slipper at the beast, which hit
him on his head. The animal became
furious, chased his prosecutor, who was
glad to save his life by taking shelter in u
house. From this circumstances, the elc-
phant could not bear Moorman in his
presence, aud always eyed one with abb
horrencc.
The unfortunate man who was killed,
by blind fatality, or something like it,
having dressed himsclfin Moorish garb,
appeared before tho elephant. 1t was
the festival night at Triplicane. The
elephant, "a usual, when before images,

spectators. This ill-lated man also ex-
tended his hand, and two or three times,

though the keeper repeatedly entreated
him TO desist. The elephant got annoy
ed, and knocked the man down with his
trunk. But one ofthe keepers alongside
pushed him away, upon which the ami
NAL turned round with fury not To be
described, bore down all opposition, and
killed him on the spot. The work of
death being completed, he set off to his
stall in full trot, tho nll'righicd people

MATERNAL TRAITS OF TEEL-
ING.


The characteristics of individuals arc
most truly developed on occasions tha
call forth the gush ofspontaneous feeling
That all have a ruling passion has beer
finely rhymed, but il is false reasoning
vast majority Of the human race live
through their span of life, without any
defined or particular object of pursuit,
which would awaken and strengthen any
one passion as sufficiently predominant
to mark their character. But feeling,
when it is the instinct of nature, never
errs---it gives it mt once the key to the
human heart and we have rarely seen n
more touching or true picture of the dis
similarity in the affection which the two
sexes entertain for tlTeir offspring, than
was displayed in many instances during
the terrible Earthquake of 1888, in Ca
labria and Sicily. A fathers love for his
children, If as intense as the mothers, is
never SO uncalculating. This may be
owing to his superior strength of mind,
but then 1t must be confessed she has SUI
perior strength Of heart-ho struggles to
save his children from death--she dies
Wltnout struggle Tor theD.
When sauntoring among the ruins, al-
ter the violence of the earthquake had
abated, 1t was remarked that The position
of the men, killed by the crush of the de-
stroying, indicated that every nerve had
been strained in resistance, while the
features and attitude Of the females cx-
hibited the extremity Of despair and in
many instances the latter were found with
their hands clnsped above their heads.
Wherever children were found near their
parents, the attitudes of the mothers in-
dicaied entire sclf-abandonment, while
fathers were often discovered folding n
child with one arm, and endeavorng with
the other to stem the superintendent ru-
ins.
can affecting instance ofmaternal love
and sclfdevotion was discovered in the
ruins of Polistena. The mother of two
cmldren--a boy aged three years, and
an infant of seven months--was sucking
her babe, when the house fell and des-
troycd all three. The position in which
the bodies were found, afforded the
clenresi evidence that the mother delib-
erately exposed her life to save her Off
spring. She wns lying on the grotInd
with her face downward, the infant close
to her bosom, whIlo with her body sho
protected also the older child--thus of
fering her back to the falling timbcrs.
Her arms were claspcd round both, and
in this affecting position tho half-dc-
caycd bodies were discovered, when tho
rubbish was cleared away"

ment, as suggested by the President, are to be
subject to the ratification or rejection Of Con-
gress, it would be only increasing their business;
for it is certain, that in the District some persons
would be found who would petition Congress on
the subject OF almost every Law which the local
legislature might propose; which petitions, with
the laws to which they relate, must be referred
to the Committee on the District, before whom
both parties would appear and lay their views.
In this way, Congress would have double as much
of the concerns Of the District TO act upon as
they now have; and would be less inclined to at
tend to them than they now are.
Having submitted these few remarks on the in
expediency Of local legislature, | will, in some
subsequent remarks, endeavor to show that Con.
gress cannot constifaionaly transfer to sub
