correspondent Of the New York Spirit
Of the Times, says:
Mr.. James Anderson, the tragedian,
commences a farewell engagement in
London. (prior to his visit to the states)
at the National Standard, early next
month. | yesterday saw several new
dresses just completed for Mr.. Ander-
son, which were the most costly and
magnificent ever made. One alone, |
was told, was valued at $3.50, and
others we're equal in elegance. In
producing tragedy at the present time
with wonderful scenery and effects, it
is necessary to dress the character with
equal pomp, and Mr.. Anderson has
furnished himself with a wardrobe
unsurpassed even by Mr. Charles Kean.
During Mr.. Anderson's performance
at the National Standard, two or
three Shakspesrian works will be re-
vived, among which will be the !" Win

review of Mrs. Beecher Stoves new

following remarkable criticism: "The

much that a large section Of the Church
Of Christ is caricatured and misrep.

facts, as'that part has been sacrificed to
passion, and that preogative Of the

of the Gospel could deliberately assert
that a caricature" Of the Church Of

Seeing the Elephant.

a friend tells us Of rich incident that
occurred the other day in the courtroom at
Frankfort, i'll which the provcrbial at.rac-
tions of the elephant are very forcibly illus
trated 1t seems that, on the day in aues-
ton, menageric was expected in the city.
AMI the people were naturally on the qui
Oire for the approaching sight-an interest
which, as the sequel shows, his honor the
Judge skeenly participated. Notwthstand-
ing, the court was held on that day, though
not exactly as usual. In the progress of
the mornings business n case of continuance
arose, which the Judge was evidently not at
all inclined to favor. His countenance, in
decd, grew absolutely stern with disfavor.
The lawyer in charge, having urged his plea
with the ingenuity and ability at his com
manJ, was at length in the act Of yielding
the point i'll despair, when brother lawyer,
especially up to snuff, rose and wills
pcrcd into his ear that the mcnagerie had
arrived, and tie elephant acouM swin, the
ricer! The suggestion was big with relief.
Frightening with hope, the willy lawyer at
once drew himself up defercntially, and, ad-
dressing the court, said: "Alav it please
your honor, | have this moment learned
that the Great American Menagerie has
reached this city, and the elephant aciH I'M
mediately saoim the Kentucky rivcr! The
people / am informed, are already thronc-
ing upon tht banks to witness the cxtraordi-
nary fact" The hit WAS palpable. The
intelligence Of Buchanan's election could
hardly have brought Il more wonderful
change in the bearing of his honor. His
stern countenanance ut once relaxed into
the most genial complacency, and, in tone
of generous excitement, he remarked {:
"Gcntcmen, | grant this continuance, and
adjourn the court. I never hare seen au
elephant swim river and, as am an old
man, it inst likely that I'll ever have bet
ter opportunity. The courts adjourned ~
The last thing our friend saw Of the court,
it was making for the river at speed never
contemplated by the Life Insurance Com
company. Verify, there's no resisting the
clephant?-LouisviLe Journal.
