CF-The Pacific City Herald, says it was
tho energy and enlightened hberality Of the
property holders Of Council Bluffs, which
induced Mr.. ilESpRiE to locate his foundry
u, this place. A truth well stated. II
farther says, that this foundry "will prove
quit. an acquisition to that city. 1t will
furnish constant employment to one hun
dred msh. This will add, probably, four
hundred persons to the population, and
cause the building Of at least fifty new
houses. 1t will also n,trac, the trade Of
smigrants and others, in need Of castings,
to Council Bluffs, and thus injure the trade
Of other points"

HE Saw THE ELEPHANT. "A rather
curious scene occurred in the
northern part of England during
the performance in the mcnagcrie.
A young man, who had for some
time been carefully observing the
monster elephant, determined To-
try the strength of the hugh bulk
of flesh with his own. There is
at the end of the elephants tusks,
which are of large size, an iron
rod, binding one tusk TO the 9TH
er. Our hero seized hold of this,
and began TO lean his.whole weight
upon it. The elephant, not alto
gether liking this sort of treat.
ment, determined for his part to
punish his audacious antagonist -
lie raised his great head aloft, and
the young fellow was swung from
the ground until he almost touch
ed the canvas covering, and was:
no doubt, much higher than his
most wild ambition ever carried
him. The animal repeated this,
and a second time he decended to
the ground, when the elephant,
wrapped his trunk round the hap
less thoroughly humbled youth,
and very uhceremoniously laid bin
in the mud that overspread the
floor. The wrestle was ended, the
elephant coming of the victor,
while his combatant picked himself
mp, and amidst the hearty Taught

Horse SESsE.-It is said that
the steam carriages for highways
now coming into use will not gem
orally frighten horses, if there is a
horse in front Of them appearing
to draw them, while, in fact, the
propulsion is all done by steam -
Smoke and steam, and the noise Of
the blast, may frighten country
horses that are not use to the COM
motion of city streets, but these
features should not be allowed in
the streets. The mere fact of self
propulsion is above the apprecia-
tion of horse, and all that is re-
quired is to deceive him by a show
of animal power,

4" UNioNs AT ANY PpicE !-Will
somebody please tell us what is
meant by this term, which is some
times applied by the disunionists
to those patriots who are in favor
of preserving in their purity the in
stitutions handed down to us by
our fathersY II is considered high
praise 20 say ola man that he is u
Christian at any price, or he is n
patriot aud friend of his country at
any price, and il those gentlemen
who are so glib in applying the
above term intend il as n derisive
appellation, they have chosen the
wrong theme. The Union can be
preserved without dishonor, and the
man who raises bis traitorous hand
against his country is the dishor-
ored, Let the mark of disgrace
rest upon him.
"our country's welfare Is our best concern,
Andwho promotes ihA, hest,bes proves his duty"
