A CARGO OF ELEPHANTS We are Glad TO
learn that Mr.. S. b. June, whom we formerly
announced as having come to Gale in vessel
from America, for a cargo of elephants has sue
ceeded in obtaining the object of his search.
On his arrival in Colombo he was informed that
government had elephants for sale but we hap
pened to meet him one day in search of what
was here called government" With his Yam
kee go-ahead business notions he supposed that.
if party had anything for sale, that party ought
to know what price to ask for it. Governments
has elephants for sale, said every person but
nobody, individual or collective, could be found
to fix a price at which they would be sold so
that he declared there was really no government
in Ceylon. Failing in the direction, Mr.. June.
perfect stranger to the country, and assured
by many residents that he could not, in any rea-
sonabe time, obtain the number of elephants he
required, went into the interior, and, notwith-
standing the unsual wetness of the season, sue
ceeded in picking up between 30 and 30 ele-
plants, which are now in their way to Gallo, to.
be shipped on board the American barqus Re-
gaito, now lying there on waiting for him. We
wish Mr.. June and his boys and girls "a he
calls them, quick and safe passage to Yankee

The latter officer sprsne % otsy ~ uAandata,
and immediately scene OF confusion ensued
that no pen could describe. The bravoes and
myrmidon friends of Gen. Sm0ot gathered
round to obstruct the sheriff, while many Of the
citizens lent their aid to sustain the authority Of
the court. Menaces, screams and horrid curses,
the ring of impinging and crossing steel, alter
nate cries of rage and pain, all eominQled with
the awful explosion of fire arms blended TO-
gether vivid idea of Pandemonium. But
throughout all the tempestuous strife, two ipdi-
viduals might be observed as leaders in the
whirwind and riders Of the storm. The new
Judge used his little iron cane with terrible eff
cheney, crppng limbs yet sparing life. Bill
Buffum, initiating the clemency of his honored
friend disdaining the employment Of either
knife or pistol, actually tramped and crushed
down all opposition, roaring ut every furious
blow-"this is the way to preserve order in
court pa sentiment which he accompanied with
wild peals Of laughter. In less than two min
utes the party of the Judge triumphed, the CLIQUE
of General Smoot suffered disastrous defeat
and the bully himself was borne away to the
prison.
Such was the debut of Archibald Yell in Ar
kansas; and from that day his popularity ms
man, as Judge, as a hero, and as politician,
went on rapidly and brilliantly increasing, till it
ecpsed all the oldest and most powerful names
Within the first year Of his emigration, he be-
came a candidate for the Governors chair and
notwithstanding the bitterest opposition, he was
elected by nine-tenths of the number Of votes
polled. At the end of his term, he canvassed
for Congress, and again swept the State like
hurricane. He continued to serve with success
in the supreme councils of the nation until the
period Of the war with Mexico. He then re-
signed, hurried home to Arkansas, and raised a
regiment of volunteer cavalry, with which he
made all possible despatch to the scene of action.
The writer of the present sketch saw him on
his line of march to coaesce with the grand
army of occupation, and never will he forget the
evening passed by the light of his hospable
camp fire, on Red river, within the limits of
Texas. The prophecy of his farewell words
rings on my ears with mournfu distnctness.
Il CO." said he, with look of fire, and in
tones of thrilling emphasis, ito make fame that
shall be co-extensive with the length and
breadth of the Union, or to extinguish life itself
in blaze of glory"
He kept his word-he did both. He arrived
on the CORY nrena in time to witness the magnifi-
cent storm of Buena Vista; and where is the true
child Of American birth that cannot name the
three transcendant stars of chivary, who fell
quenched in blood that day! Aye, who fell, but
as they fell such parting sun-burst of everlast-
ing sunlight over the field of glory and of
graves! Harden Clay! Yell

DISCOVERIES OF THE LAST HALF CENTuRy-
There has been no period since the commence
ment Of he world in which so many import
ant discoveries, tending to the benefit of man.
kind, were made rs in the last half century.
Some OF the most wonderful results of human
intellect have been witnessed in the last fiftv
years. Some of the grandest conceptions of ge-
MUS have been perfected. 1t is remarkable how
the mind Of the world has run into scientific in
vestigation, and what achievements it has Of
fected in that short period. Before the year
1900 there was not single steamboat in exist
ence, and the application of steam to machinery
was unknown. Fulton launched the first steam
boat in 1907 Now there are three thousand
steamboats, traversing the waters of America.
and the time saved in travel is equal to 10 per
cent. The rivers Of every country in the world,
nearly, are traversed by steamboats,. In 1900
there was not single railroad in the world. In
the United States alone there are now 8,797
miles of railroad, costing $286,OOO,OOO to build,
and about $4,000 miles of railroad in England
and America. The locomotive will now travel
in as many hours, distance which in 1900 re-
qured as many days to accomplish
In 1900 it took weeks to convey intelligence
between Philadelphia and New Orleans; now it
can be accomplished in minutes through the
S'eeNiN 'SieSiePi, WHICH OliJ lldu us beginning
in lS43. Volatism was discovered in March
1900. The electro magnet in 1921. Electro
typng was discovered only few years ago.
Hoes printing press, capable of printing 900
copies an hour is very recent discovery, but of
a most important character. Gas light was I'M
known in 1900; now every city and town of anv
pretence are lighted with it, and we have the
announcement of a still greater discovery by
which light, heat and motive power, may be ali
produced from water, with scarcely any cost.
Daguerre communicated to the world his bean.
tiful invention in 1889. Gun cotton and chloro.
form are discoveries but few years old. As
troDomy has added number of new planets tn
the solar system. Agricultural chemistry has
enlarged the domain of knowledge in that i'm
portant branch of scientific research and me-
chancs have increased the facilities for produc-
ton, and the means of accomplishing an amount
OF labor which far transcends the ability Of
united manual effort to accomplish
The trlumphs achieved in this last branch of
discovery and invention are enough to mark
the last half century as that which has most
contributed to augment personal comforts, en-
large the enjoyments and add to the BLESSINGS
of man. What will the next half century ac-
compish? We may look for still greater dis
coveries; for the intellect of man is awake, ex
poring every mine of knowledge and searching
for useful information in every department Of
art and industry. Philadelphia Ledger.
