AS the published offer (n the Union news
paper) to bribe members of Congress has not
been denied nor explained, now take il for
granted that it is admitted, and it sickens the
heart to think that an American President
would pursue such course, and that Ameri-
can Representatives. would thus be Jough.
Should find leisure for any further num-
bers, and you, Mr.. Editor, indulge me
with your columns, will endeavor to notice
some of the consequences that may be ex-
pected to result from this buying and selling
Of the Peoples Representatives. 1t may ap.

| While the keepers were engaged in secur.
ing the smaller elephant, ,-who had not, how
ever, manifested any signs Of insubordinaton
the larger one got off from them, and went on
through Barneyvile, when Mr.. Mason Barney
and another man, mounted their horses and
kept on his track as near to him as was pru.
dent, giving warning of the danger TO the
passengers whom they met on the way. The
elephant would occasionally turn 10 look al
( them, but did not attempt to molest them
The next man in the path was Mr. Peorce
who was riding with his little son in one.
horse wagon. He was coming towards the
elephant, and being warned by Mr.. Barney
turned round and put his horse to speed, but
the elephant overlook him, and seiz:ng the
wagon. threw it in to the air, dasbing it to
pieces, and breaking the collar bone and arm
of Mr.. Pearce. The horse, disengaged from
the wagon, escapeds with the fore-whees,
and the elephant gave chase for eight miles
but did not catch him. The elephant came
back from his unsuccessful pursuit, and took
up his march again on the main road, where
he next encountered Mr.. Jabez Eddy, with a
horse and wagon. He threw up the whole
establishment in the same way as before,
smashed the wagon, killed the horse, and
wounded Mr.. Eddy. He threw the horse
twenty feet over fence into the adjoining
lot, then broke down the fence, went over
and picked up the dead horse, and deposited
him in the road where he had first met him.
lie Killed one other horse and pursued
another, who fed to barn. The elephant
followed. but at the door was met by fierce
bull dog, which bit his leg and drove him o f.
Once on the route, the keeper, being ahead
of him, saw him plunge over wall and make
for house. The keeper got into the house
first, hurried the frightened people within to
the upper story, and providing himself with
an axe, succeeded in driving off the furious
beast.
The elephant finally exhausted his strength
and laid himself down in the bushes, about
two miles from Slade's Ferry. Here he was
secured with chains and carried over the
ferry to Fall River. A part of the time he
ran at the rate of mile III three minutes.

EXTRAORDINARY PRocEEDIaGs OF AN ELE-
pHANT.-The Providence Journal gives the
following details of spree INDUCED in by an
Elephant:
The large Elephant attached to the Broad
way menagerie got loose from his keeper on
the way from Pawtucket to Fall River, early
yesterday morning. Before starting his keep
er made him lift the hind part of a wagon,
loaded with $500 pounds, for the purpose of
getting it into line. 1t is supposed that this,
although not unusual, might have suggested
to him the mode of attack which he adopted
afterwards. When about seven miles from
Pawtucket, he got free from the control of
his keeper, and meeting horse and wagon,
belonging to Mr.. Stafford Short, he thrust
his tusk into the horse, and lifted horse, wagon
aud rider into The air. He mangled the horse
terribly and carried him about fifty feet, and
threw the dead body into pond. The wag-
on was broken to pieces, and Mr.. Short con-
siderably hurt. The elephant broke one of
his enormous tusks in this encounter. A
mile further the elephant, now grown more
furious, attacked in the same manner, horse
and wagon, with Mr.. Thomas Peck and his
son. He broke the wagon and wounded the
horse, which ran away. Mr. Peck was pretty
badly hurt in tho hip.

POETRY.
From the Wheeling lntelligencer.
IT'S SUCH A NIGHT.

'Tis such night if angels were
To wander from their home,
They would forget the glory there,
And linger here TO roam!
1t is night when to the earth
Such loveliness is given,
We deem it not Of mortal birth
But like our dreams of Ileaven
Beneath the trosses of this grove
The throbbing moonbeams rest,
As if they'd found what most they love,
And slumber'd on its breast;
And to the landscapes dimpliug laco
The skies are bending fondly down,
Asif they sought one sweet embrace
From all they gaze upon!
On such o night, the throbbing soul
With loves pure vow accords,
And yields 10 dreams beyond control,
And thoughts that have no Words
No words, lovd one! save what thine eye,
Thy soft and moon lit cheek,
Our heart TO hearts responsive sigh
None save what these may speak!
Oh, could deem, in such an hour,
That Heaven is not so far
AS some have taught ME. And power
That's not beyond each star,
eau free us from corruption's thrull
Een in world like this,
And crowd within one moment, all
The soul can know of bliss!

A CATHoLIc EDITOR ON THE School
QUEsTIoN.-T amiable editor of the Vest
ern TABLET a Catholic paper of this city, as
relief from his arduous editorial labors has
been visiting the city of Joliet, and enlighten-
ing the inhabitants thereof with the peculiar
views of his Church upon the Common
School question. The True Democrat Of that
place gives an analysis Of his remarks, which
it appears, went TO prove that our Common
School system was highly obnoxious to Cath
olcs-was athestical, Goddess: and per-
ncous-proliic hot-b beds of prostitution, in
decency, blasphemy, knavery and crime. He
insisted that Catholics were justly entitled
to their pro rata share of the school fund, to
be disposed of as Catholics saw fiji. The
bible was objected to as school book, not
because it taught immortality and heresy, but
because it was an unsafe book to be placed
in tho hands of the young and Illiterate, as
it was intended to be read only by the few,
the Priests, sc. He maintained that religion
should be taught in our compon schools; and
he stated that Catholics should send their
children to none but Catholics should send
their children to none but Catholic schools
He cited the schools of Italy under the
auspices of the Pope as being far superior to
the common schools of any nation on the
globe and 50 he went ON, in highialhtn
style, from absurdites to the quintescence of
nonsensicalities.-Ch Chicago Trib.
