morrow Thursday evening which. though primarily
intended as complimentary, We presume may also do
something to smooth the rugged pathway OF life TO

last twenty years 70 make life less wearisorue for the
Toilag Millions everywhere. Many Of Mr.. Eyanss
opinions are quite adverse 20 and those in which
we coincide not always urged with due respect for
the equally honest convictions Of opponents but his
earnesness and fidelity through long years OF obscury

, - The leading picture in Yaakes Doodle this
week has more truth, and that Of pretty sad kind
than poetry It Is called Seeing the Elephant and is
described as follows
Yankee Doodle has the pleasure Of presenting scene
from life of number OF his valiant and patriotic fellow
citizens getting somewhat satisfactory view OF the
. Elephant in MexicO-the most wonderful and charac
terstc variety of that extraordinary animal known to
naturalists Il viii be that he il delicate and
sportive creature and del GIFTED with the
nnent afforded him by his indug gent keeper. The pro
prieior of the National Menagere, Mr.. j. n Caude oil
pense of several millions of dollars-ndeed the fur
price 10 be given for him is not yet known and will
probably not be ascertained for time Ia come -
The variety of this noble animal known as the Yellow
or VomitO Elephant has not yet been very closely ex
ahmed yet confident expectations entertained that
some very eligible views will be got Of him as our army
OF nAurslists advance toward the coast and by the
time they reach the great den of this interesting animal
at Vera Cruz, they will probably be completely salts
fed with their reception by this yellow King of the
tropics that very few OF them will ever come away

dispatched many forward designs Of this
