AN E~LEpnANT's DOIEGs-Wc learn by
a gentleman Of this city, who was ut
Lockport on Saturday, that at noon Of that
day, an elephant belonging to a menage-
rie exhibiting there, walked out Of his tent
towards a spanof horses some twenty rods
Of. The h0r-es took fright as the huge
beast approached them, broke loose and
ran a few rods to the angie Of a fence, and
the elephant followed, capsizcd the wagon
and threw the horses some two rods over
the fence. One Of the horses rose with
several broken ribs, and managed to es-
cape his assailant, who fell upon the 9TH
er with his tusks, tore out his ~entrailg and
continued to toss him along the fence some
ten rods or more. At this time the keep
er, who was at dinner when the elephant
escaped from the tent, came up and called
the animal by name. The elephant i'm
mediately obeyed the word, and followed
the keeper to an orchard about a hundred
rods of, where he was secured by strong
chains made fast to the trunk RI a fdi.
grown tree. Just as our infarraant left in
the afternoon, he heard that the elephant
had uProoted the tree to which be was
fastened, and had injured a man but
learned no particulars. The elephant
rage, it is said, was caused by some to-
bacco concealed in the food that some Of
the bystanders offered him. People can

Spoken Against.

What if people do speak against you. Ls
them feel that you are able to bear it. What
is there gained by stopping to correct every
word that is whispered to your dlscredit!-
Lies will die if let alone; but if you repeat
them to this one and another, because your
enemies had the impudence 10 make them
you but keep the fire burning and open the
way for q dozen ISLANDERS. Keep on your
course and 60 straightforward and trouble not
your head about what is repeated, and feel all
the better and wear a less frightful face
Slandcr never killed sterling character and
it never will. Her coat will not sit upon him,
without pull here, jerk there, and twist
below, and while this work is going on, the
false words are forgotten by the multitude
Let us-you and reader-repeat what anoth-
CIR has said in rhyme, and if we; have been
talked about or slandered, it will do us as
much as fry at Diamond Cove:
"Not all they say or do can make
NY head or tooth, or finger ache;
Nor mar my shape, nor scar my face,
Nor put one feature out Of place;
Nor will ten thousand lies,
Make me less virtuous, learned or wise;
The most effectual way to baulk,
Their malice is, to let them talk"

origin Of the Cap of Liberty.

In former ages, old age was honorable; caps
became emblems of honor. By degrees It
became the badge of freedom, for none were
deemed honorable who were not free,--and
when slave was made free man, he had a
cap given to him, which he was permitted to
wear in public. The Pslius or cap of liberty,
was simple in its form, in the shape of a su-
gar loaf, broad at the base and ending in a
cove. This prefigures that freedom stands on
the broad basis of humanity, and runs up to
a pyramid, the emblem of eternity, to show it
ought to last forever. 1t was simple, for lib
erty is in itself the most shining ornament Of
man. 1t has none of the gilded trappings
that make the livery of despotisui. The cap
of liberty was white, the native color of the
undyed, showing that it should be untainted
by faction or tyranny.

Doubtful Story.

1t is said that the skeleton of a man,
eighteen feet high, has been recently dug
up 10 Tennessee. The bones of the thigh
aud leg meas ire SIX feet six inches. The
skull is described as being about two
thirds the size Of -four barrel, and ca
pable Of holding in its cavities near two
bushels; coffee cup of good size could be
put into the eye sockets-and the Jaw
teeth, which are all perfect, even to the
enamel, would weigh from three and a
half to six pounds. Some Of the smaller
ones which were loose have been eighed
the front teeth are missing. The teeth
bear the evidences Of extrsme age, from
their cavities and apparent diminution
from use aud wearing away. The stor!
reads like a hoax, but human skeleton
or what was supposed to be one, nearly a
large, was dug up in the south of France
about two centuries ago. "And ther
were giants in those days.-U S. Post.

after fashion she had learned from the
white maidens of an adjoining settlement,

grew near her wigwam. Her sleep was
light as the fawn's and her fond old father
said, "her eye was brighter than the stars
