4 a HUNaRY ELEPHANT have heard great deal
of late about seeing the elephant, and the expense
incurred on seeing Mr.. Leatherlngs but believe
few Of your Gosspers y have been placed in such
IN awkward fix as yonr humble servant in beholding
this mammoth of living quadrupeds. But as you
declare that brevity is the soul Of w.t. will proceed
At once to unfold an elephant tao )(e) (or rather
trunk which cost me new hat. Like many others,
had longing desire to see the elephant not in its
metaphorical sense, for I was always too straight
haired youth for that sort of gamebut the actual
animal with two tails. So took the first opportu.
nifty of Visiting menagere Of wild beasts (saye the
mark the poor, hafstarved creatures seemed tanner
than many of the beasts who went to and torment
them) After having visited the performing lions and
tigers, and those incarnate imps Of mischief, the
monkeys, came up to Mr.. Elephant. There he
stood Ia all his brawny proportions Tor rather i'm
ing crowd, many OF whom were feeding him with
sweet cakes. 1 followed their example, and invested
few cents In cakes for the behoof Of my new beaver
hat from which fed my pet with the flexible pro-
b0scis. But mark the ingratitude of the clumsy
scoNndrel. suppose he thought was not quick
enough in my movement, or perhaps thinking /
wished TO appropriate some Of the sweet morses for
my own use at all events, quick as thought, he
stretched forth his india rubber bludgeon. seized my
hat, cakes and all, and rolled them up into neat
little ball. and pumped it right into his great ugly
mouth. You may guess how foolish Hooked when
the great monster rolled my hat about between his
teeth and old and young were like to burst their sides
with laughter. saw there was nothing for it but to
enjoy the joke well as the rest but inwardly re-
solved to beware how served such able bodied beg
gAxs for the time to come.

that they were not responsible, they had used due
care the plaintiff answered that they had acknowl.
edged the responsibility by paying sum of money
The defendants replied that the money was not paid
but given by way Of charity. The plaintiffs answer
70 this was, that when the money was paid the
DESCENDANTS required and receiveda receipt. When
he plaintiff counsel addressed the jury, he put this
point somewhat ingenonsly before them, saying,
We read, gentlemen, that charity suHereth long and
y kind; charity enveth not; charity vaunteth not

N seeketh neither own, is not easily provoked think
eth no evil reoiceth not in inquty but rejoiceth in
the truth, feareth all things believeth all things
hopeth all things, endureth oil things All these
things, gentlemen you have often read Of charity
but where, gentlemen, where did you ever read that
charity took receipt y The jury gave the plaintiff

vi. Bashineton Union attempts to justify the
course of the bogus LecOmpton Convention in
placing the election in reference to that Constitu
ton pder the entire control Of Mr.. Calhoun, and
it cites for that purpose certain alleged precs
dents from the Constitutions Of Ohio, Indiana,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama and Mich
igsn. Not one Of these pretended precedents
however, has the slightest bearing on the present
case. All that was done in either of those cases
vss TO authorize the President of the Cow entiOn
10 issue writs for holding the first election under
the State ConstitutiOn. Beyond this nero Issue
Of the writs, he had 10 authority at all. 1t was
made bis business to give the signal for holding the
election, but he had no power over the result. He
was not authorized to appoint the officers BY whom
the election was to be held and the votes counted
nor had be anything to do with giving certificates
of election. The election was to be held like any
Territorial election, the President OF the Conven.
hon having no power to influence the result The
j, totally different from what the bogus Kansas
Convention have done. They have put everything
under the control and in the power Of their own
