Another Baby.

The New York Sunday Times says
| They have got new "baby elephant" up
town, the product We believe, of one of
the elephants belonging to Barnum's trav-
cling menagerie. Being too unwell to go
upon her usual summer tour, she was
left at home, We believe, to recuperate
for season. The result is this addition
to the elephantine domestic circle. Both
Button and Goldsmith tell us as a scien-
tifo fact, that elephants never gestate in
captivity. However prolific in their nat
ural state, they never give birth in the
domestic condition, those authorities as
sure US, to other captives-and such US
ed to be the case. But few years ago,
one of the female elephants in the Zoolog-
ical Garden, at Regents Park, London,
set the example. An elephant in the Jar
din des Plantes, at Paris, followed in
twelve months after. A year after an ell
ephant in this city gave US an imitation,
and now, as flour country must still keep
ahead of all competition, behold we have
another.
These baby elephants are very interest
ing objects. They are perfectly formed
though and differ from their parent only
in size-but that difference is so amazing
that it becomes ridiculous; and when you
see the baby walking to and fro under its
mother, you cannot resist the impulse to
laugh at the oddity of the COMPARISON
And then the bulky mothers care of her
hahv Ia so human-lika apd affaotionatp
Give the baby an apple for instance
The mother elephant first takes it in her
trunk, examines it closely, and then re-
turns it to her infant to eat, having ap-
parently satisfied herself of its innocuous-
ness. And so with every thing else. The
watcbful care, the jealous fondness, the
assiduous and untiring attention of the
parent t-monster, is eninently worthy of
imitation by many beings who make pro-
fession of a much greater share of intel
ligence.

Shocking Story.

The following account of the murder Of
a slave by her mistress, which we copy
from the New York Times, seems too
monstrous for belief:
FRANKLIN, Tenn, Thursday, Sept 20.
I655.-A most sickening tragedy occur
red three miles from this place on Mon
day aud Tuesday last, which throws the
fctious performances in Uncle Toms
Cabin entirely in the shade. A notori-
Gus woman named Ellen Borden, had her
jealousy aroused on Sunday last by the
conduct of her husband towards negro
woman employed in the house, began on
Monday to whip and torture the woman,
and perservered in her cruely until some
time the next day, when the negro died.
When the fact of her death became known
Coroner's inquest was held, and war
rant issued for the arrest of the MUIR
deress. The preliminary trial is now GO
ing on, and from testimony elicited upon
it, there seems to be DO doubt but the ne
gro was made to enSere the most awful
torments for nearly two days before she
was killed outright.
She was first tied and whipped, then
boiling water was poured over the abdo-
men and legs, until the skin was all scald-
ed off and the fatty tissue cooked, leaving
the muscles bare; she was then taken into
a smoke house and locked up, and prob
ably on the next day the remaining in
juries were inflicted which put an end to
her misery. These last injuries were the
hanging of the negro by rope attached
to joist in the smoke house, and Sc
we're blow on the temple with some point
ed instrument, which pierced and frac-
turcd the skull. On a post mortem ex-
animation the neck was found to be brok-
en-, the back part of the head badly
bruised and two other gashes with the
same sharp instrument on the head. The
back was also found to be considerably
scalded. though not 50 badly as the front
part of the body.
The woman, Borden, made no attempt
to escape, and exhibits perfect indiffer-
ence about the affair. The excitement
in town is very great.

A Valuable Paint.

A. B., in the Country Gentleman, says:
'For the information of all wishing to OBJ,
tain cheap and valuable paint for build
ings, | would say take common clay, (the
same that our common bricks are made
of,) dry, pulverize, aud run it through a
sieve, and mix with linseed oil. You
then have 6rst-rate fre-proof paint of
delicate drab color. Put it on as thick
as practicable
If any one has doubts with regard to
the above, just try it small scale-paint
a shingle, for Instance, and let it dry
Recollect that it must be mixed thicker
than common paints.
The clay, when first dug, will be wet
or damp, but will soon dry, spread in the
air under shelter, or, if wanted immedi-
ately, itmsy be dried in kettle over fire.
When dry it will be in Jumps, &C., aud
can be pulverized by placing an iron ket-
tie few inches in the ground, containing
the clay, and pounding it with the end Of
a billet of hard wood, inches in diane
ter, 3 feet long, the lower end to be lit
tie rounded, &c. Then sift it. ANY clay
will make paint, but the colors may diff
fer, which can easily be astertaised by
trying them on small scale as above in
dicated. BY burning the clay slightly
you will get light red, and the greater
the heat you subject it to the brighter OF
deeper the red.

Love Song.

BY ANSoN G. CHESTER.
She who sleeps upon my heart
Was the first to win it:
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns within it;
She who kisses oft my lips
Wakes my warmest blessing;
She who rests within mine arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other hours than these shall come,
Hours that may be weary;
Other days shall greet US yet,
Days that may be dreary;
Still that heart shall be thy home,
Still that breast thy pillow;
Still those lips meet thine, as Oft
Billow meeteth billow.
Sleep. thea, on my happy heart,
Since thy love hath won it;
Dream, then, on my loyal breast
None but thou hast done 1t;
And when age cur bloom shall change,
With its wintry weather,
May we. in the self-same grave,
Sleep and dream together!

The Departed.

All, where arc those who love us!
Meetings. they should be here;
Alas! they are above us,
Within yon sky SO clear.
The hearts | once so cherished,
Are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.;
Alas! how soon they perlshed.
And left US here-alone.

What Ncxtp

This is the question which the English papers arc
busily discussing. Having taken the south side O
Sebastopol-what nexts Shall we hold on or le
goa We have heard of man holding bear by
the paws, with only tree between who debated
in his own mind precisely similar question. W.
never heard the sequel Shall we hold on or let go
most important inquiry.
Having taken Sebastopol the Allies are at los.
what to do with it. Should they take the whole
Russian army prisoners, they would be equally Al
a loss what to do with them They cannot FEED
Thorn. Civilization forbids that they should xii
them. They must let them go, again to turn up a
another Sebastopol. In the meantime the expenses
of the war continue and increase, and on top OF
them must come an immense additional expendi
ture for bread, caused by short crops
We dare say that England and Franco, notwith
standing the success at Sebastopol would be willing
TO make peace with the Russians on reasonable
terms. But it may be doubted whether Russia is
in as plant mood. The bear, robbed of its whelps
is not the most amable of animals
