Intelligence 81 IN Elephant.

The attachment betwccnya man and an
elephant was 50 great that whenever the
former went to'his dinner be always left
a little ugly black infant under the care
Of the latter, who watched the child with
the greatest tenderness, and prevented il
crawling out Of sight. One day the Gle.
plant was experimenting his charge in 4
spot where some young trees tempted
him to browse, and while doing SO The
swarthy young imp rolled into 4 puddle
Of muddy clay. The elephant heard a
scream, and saw the scrapc he had got
into by ncglecting his trust; hc therefore
Immediately took measures not to be
found out by his master. Goingf down
to a stream, he charged his mouth with
clear water, and taking up the squalling
blackey with his trunk on u level with
his eyes, he turned it at one side and
sluiced his dirty skin al over with d del
uge Of water, Then turning the child
round, he performed q similar operation
on the other side, cleansing every speck
Of mud. When the parents returned, the
elephant had just placed the infant in the
sun to dry, and looked as attentive over
his charge as If nothing had happened:

| Numerous quotations Of kindred char
acter could be brought forward, but these
are sufficient to establish the points con-
templated in this article, besides the con-
sidertion Of the pcrpituity Of the instit'i-
Ltion, will require some Of the residue and
il cannot be received as in bad taste, to
study variety ms well as strength. This
may be proper place in the subject to
remark, that the best lingaists qssare az
that the term serrant, as employed in the
scriptures, has all the force Of the term
Stare, rs employed in the English lam
guage, especially when used in connec-'
ton with the foregoing quotations. j
T We have fixed upon the PRONUNCIATION
Of the law, which was four hundred years
after tile call Of Abraham, as the proper
data from which we draw the conclusion
that slavery is Of Divine appointment and
that It was not contingent in its original
introduction, SO far as the Legislative acts
regulating the institution are concerned,
for we are Of the opinion that no man who,
is believer in the truths Of Divine reve-
lation, and entertains correct views in re-
gard to the Divine character, will argue
that God would give the human family a
system Of Legislation regulating an insti-
tuition which was against his will, II such
institution was morally evil, and evil only;
therefore, fAbolitionists are forced 70 yield
their claims to the Bible in support Of
their dogmas, or make God the author Of
what they call "Me sam ofaR pillaiaies,'i
or give up their fanatieal doctrines.-I
Which win they do?

The Late "State" and ''IniOn'i Fairs.

II Our contemporary ofthe Norfolk 1rgus,
in a long editorial on Fairs" makes the
following illusions 70 the great Fairs held
at Petersburg and Richmond:
In addition TO the other attractions
there will be h convention Of the Editors.
What happy results viii follow! No doubt

kindred papers, will shed their bright halo
over the scene. tl

Democrats, TO the Rescue.

We are compelled to call upon the Dem.
ocratic party of Putnam and the adjoining
counties, if they wish Democratic pa
per to be permanently established in the
Kanawha valley, to use their exertions in
increasing the list of our subscribers
cash paying subse ribers. We are will
ling to deyote our entire time and what
little ability we may possess in behalf Of
States Rights, and to advocate fearlessly
and independently the principles Of the
Democratic party. But we must have
material aid. Let the Democracy of Put
nam and adjoining counties, as they value
their cherished principles, rally to the
support of the Star, and we promise to
make it tell in every political battle TO be
fought hereafter in Central Western Vir-
ginia. Shall we look in vain for an in
creased list Of subscribers? Will not the
noble Democrats who have SO literally
contributed to re-sstablish the Star Of
flee use their influence in increasing its
circulation? Shall not our subscription
list, by the Spring election, number at
least two thousand? Let the Democrat
ic party in the valley Of the Kanawha and
adjoining counties use their influence, and
il will fully comeup to that number
Assuredly every Democrat will do his
duty. -.-I. ~ - \
