Aside from the slight damage which has
resulted from the late rise in the Mississip-

In all those sections of country where
the Ieyee has been completed. the lands
have been perfectly secure from the high

that all the Mississippi bottom may and
will be reclaimed This fact will add from
one to FIVE hundred per cent to the value

Immediately came to a halt and some

pick up the man. Bat the elephant would
not allow any person to approach the life

with his trunk. softly he would place him
on his horse but finding that the man
was senseless, he laid him on the ground
and kept watch over him.
Many members of the Inenagerie tried
to sootho the faithful elephant, who had
now bacome furious at the supposed death
of his master. but to no purpose, and
there the mau lay, watched By the saga
cious animal After lyi ing in this condi'

been sent for, arrived and yet the elephant
would allow no one to approach. At
length thelkeeper became so far Conscious
as to command the elephant to let the

perfectly docile aud ooedient in mo-

for-the elephant all the while, express
