A MAN KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT

We learn by gentleman who came pas.
senger last evening on ihq steamer Prin-
cess, from Baton Rouge, that the MTs
male elephant Of Mcssrs. Hopkins & Cos
Menagerie, on Saturday morning killed the
person who had been for some length of
time employed to take charge of il. Ii
appears that the two elephants and camel
had been sent in advance Of the other ami.
mails, en- route for Clinton, the female ele.
plant and the camel chained together
When about four miles from Baton Rouge,
the male elephant refused 10 cross a 81 nall
brid 90, the keeper, who was on foot, pro.
cured horse, Tone which the elephant, was
not accustomed toy for the purpose of dri.
wing it over, and in attempting 10 mount,
the horse shyed, and threw the man in The
road. The elephant immediately rushed
on him, caught him upon his iusks, and
threw him forty or fifty fee, in the air,
which was repeated a great number of
times, the rusks frequently passing through
his body. |. then carried the body from
the road towards the woods, tossing il in
the air at intervals, until it fell between
two fallen trees, which saved il from fur.
Their violence. The in(uriated animal then
returned TO the road, where HE female
elephant and camel had been chained to a
tree by another keeper, and rushed upon
them, his tusks passing through the camel,
knocking down the female and breaking
the chain in two. The enraged animal
then made off towards the woods, carrying
the camel by its trunk, and throwing it at
i intervals in the air with its tusks. The
other portion Of the caravan now coming
to the bridge, the elephant returned and
made demonstrations of attack upon it,
when frs aims were brought into requisi-
ton. A number Of shots were fired upon
il but without any effect. Word was then
sent TO the o. S. garrison, and some thir-
ty or forty of the soldier, were sent 10 des.

THE MIDNIGHT CRY.

NJ c. DONALD MACLEOD.

High the soui Of luxury scared
Cleaned the red Wac in the chalice,
Flashed the torches round tho board
Al the cry. The feasters stared;
Died Tic Tevel midst the halt;
Der their heads tho rooftree parted,
And the Ilsi.aee. rent the wall.
"1.o. liz eoinc,li !" Mid the rattle
OF the warm drums rode the knight,
Mid The whirwind OF the battle,
Mid the rushing OF the fight;

Pale he shrunk amid the war;
While the foe his steel had eleycn

"Lo. lis eometh !" Like the thunder

From amid her fields disroring.

From her heart Of waters starting.

From the base OF mountains strong
From tile ice Of endless Winter,
Piled above their limbs SO long
From beneath the lava current.

From the dark graves whore the torrent

Came the sacrificed of Ind;
Came the Christian martyrs ashes,
Scattered ouca 10 every uipd

And the iasi created clay;
Came ths menafcAs OF old BABEL.
Came the kings Of yesterday.
All the Heaven was filed with Angels.
