An Elephant Swimming in Ohio.

The people of CINCINNATI enjoyed rather
a novel scene few days ago in the cross
ing of the Ohio River by Dan Rice's tanned
elephant, ''Lalla Rookh." A crowd gath
cred to see the huge beast take the trip
from the Kentucky side, and the CONNER
cial says everything being in readiness the
elephant plunged into the water, but was
Immediately out of sight. The cooling
effects of the fluid were so agreeable that
her ladyship seemed disposed to neglect
the task assigned her, and regardless of the
assembled multitude, roll and splash
around at her ease. The exertions of her
keeper, who piloted her in skiff, soon
brought her TO sense of her duty, and
she struck out manfully into the stream
At times nothing but the end of her trunk
would be visible, then the top of her head,
and again she would dive entirely out of
sight, remaining under water until those
on shore began to think she was drowned,
when of sudden she would come to the
surface, with surge that would throw her
huge bulk halfway out the water.
Thus sine preceded, until opposite tbs
Covington ferry landing, when an amusing
incident occurred. The fleet of skiffs
which accompanied her upon her trip be-
came so numerous as to seriously incom-
mode her ladyship, when becoming indig-
nant, she turned about and gaze them
chase. The result was some rowing which
would have put even the famous Harvard
Boat Club to blush. One of the skiffs
she pursued to the bank. The consequence
was, that, allowing due calculating for
the force of the current, so as to make
landing at the required point, it became
necessary to take her ashore and let her
try fresh start. The second time she
started short distance below the mouth
of the Licking, and proceeded diagonally
across the river, diving with a 'blow" at
times, and landing safely at the foot OF
Race street, thus giving the whole line OF
spectators fall view Of her performances.
The sight was entirely novel to the greater
portion of those present, and all seemed
to enjoy the spectacle exceedly, notwitn-
standing the intense heat to which their
position exposed thsm."

TrOt him ont.

The Chicago Press in speaking of the
great inpouring to Springfield Qll.) at the
late mass meeting, says:
"When the Chicago delegates left
Springfield the Democrats were loudly
proclaiming that they would send for Dou-
glas in the course of the next thirty days,
and try their hands on another mass meet
ing at the capital. Let him come by all
means. We repeat, let Mr.. Douglas come!
Let us see whether his presence will in
duce five hundred men in Champaign
county to harness their teams and drive
hundred miles, camping out two nights in
the open air, and losing weeks time-as
they have just now done TO greet Abraham
Lincoln. Let us see whether his presence
will induce the Wide Awake company, or
anv other company, 10 march from Boards
town to Springfield on foot, forty miles,)
AS they have just now done to join
procession doing honor to Abraham Lin
coin. Let us see whether his presence will
induce another company from slave hol-
ding State to fight their a0ay to a ferry
boat for the purpose of coming nearly
hundred miles to join in the same process
son-as did the Wide Awakes of Hanni-
bal, Missouri, to wave their torches before
the next President of the United States.
Let us see whether his presence requires
the services of fifty-two cars from the city
of Chicago TO carry the multitude throng-
ing thither, nearly two hundred miles, to
salute his coming. Let us see whether the
procession of vehicles occupies three hours
in passing giving point where he stands
to answer the salutations of his friends
These are questions we would like to have
answered by Mr.. Douglas personal pres
ence in his own State. We invite his
friends to take him off the New. England
course and trot him out on an Illinois
prairie as soon as he can be spared from
other engagements"

Miseellaneons:
The Great Procession.


The correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
c;al, in writing about The great Springfield, ILL.,,
gathering says:
PASSING LINcoLN's HOUSE.
1t had been arranged that as many of the ar
rivals as choose, should Join in procession and
march through the principal streets past the
house of Mr.. Lincoln, who was to stand at the
front door, so as to give all the people good
look at him. We went eagerly TO the house, and
in few minutes Mr.. Lincoln arrived from the
State House, where he had been subjected to
the hand-shSking process for upwards of an
hour already. He was accomdanied by Gov.
Wood the acting Governor of the State. who
said to the crowd already gathered about MIR.
LIS house, "Mr Lincoln has just shaken hand
with .2OU people at the State House; perhaps
Won will be little merciful to him. We must
try and not kill him, as we did Gen. Harrison,
you knew" (Laughter.)
Mr.. Lincoln stepped to his front door-stone,
and said, in clear, good tone, 81 will
stand here all the time, while the procession
passes, so that all those who wish TO see me can
do SO, and all who want to shake hands can
come here and l shall be glad TO see you" A
general Misunderstanding followed, and lasted with
brief intermission, till the procession began to
pass, and long after.
Among those who pressed forward to shake
MIR. Lincoln's hand, was old John Hanks, OF
rail-splitting celebrity He is stout built hard
favored man, of about sixty. He was welcomed
by Mr.. Lincoln with great heartiness; "Why,
how are you, John?" and the reply of John
Hanks was, "How are you, Abel" Mr.. Lin
coin took his old comrade npon the door sill,

cut up some of them. And the feud now
exists in the Kissrowan and Jebail between
Christian and Metawali, who are burning
each others houses.
'Nothing now opposed the Druses save
Deir-el-Hamar, in which place there was
about 600 Turkish soldiers. The Druses
demanded the Christians to deliver up their
arms, but the Turkish authorities interpos-
ed, and told the Christians that if they
only trusted in the Sultsnend deliver up
their arms to the Pasha, Or Mutzillin, no
harm would befall them. The Christians
trusted the Turks and were basely betray-
ed. l believe it will yet be found out that
the Turkish soldiers slew more in cold
blood than the Druses did in their rage

A Heart-BrOken Elephant:

The elephants Victoria and Albert formerly
exhibited by Sands, Nathan d. Co., through the
country and in the Broadway Theatre, New
York, were taken 10 California about year and
a half ago by DR.. Bassett, and sold to a travel
ing company. In June last, in crossing n swift
little river some two hundred feet across it was
found impractieable to ferry the huge animals
over, and Albert took to the water followed by
Victoria. The current was so strong that it took
both elephants down the stream about one mile
and over the falls among the rocks. Victoria
fioated ashore, and got out among the rocks and
finding Albert missing. she commenced throw
her trunk up in inc air, believing SO loud that
she Was heard two miles off. She got SO wild
that the keeper WIS afraid she would do some
damage, consequently he stuck the spear into
her ear. The company came running to assist
in getting the elephants out; and when they all
got down where they were, Albert was Just get
ting out himself, and looking and acting very
wild. 1t made great scattering; some jumped
down rocks, others climbing up them. A mu-
sician jumping into the river, hid himself under
n bush for so long time that he lost the band
wagon, and was compelled to walk twelve miles
to Murpy's Camp. The keeper finally got both
elephants together, and drove them to town.
th' y performed rs well as ever, apparently, and
continued performing there up to the 2lst of
June. when Victoria commenced to fail and
looked very bad out of her eyes. However the
proprietors did not think that nything was the
matter, more than cold caught in the river,
until the company arrived in Iowa City, June
25th. There she fell 10 rise no more. Albert
was trying to raise her with his trunk, but In
vain-consequently she was left with her keep
er and mate ;and on June 2Sth. at O'Clock, she
died. Two physicians dissected her to ascertain
the cause of her death. She was perfectly
sound with the exception of her heart That
had been burst or broken the day she lost her
mate in the river. She was buried in the first
ring that was made in that town: Her loss to
her owner is supposed 10 be $4,000. Great
numbers of people assembled. at her last resting

THE MONEY AND PRESENTS BROUGHT By
THE JAPANEsE-The Embassy brings with
it some $50, 900 cash, for the purpose of
making purchases. There are two boxes of
$50, 900 each, one SI3, 400, one 50, 900, one
SIS, 900, aud some 81, 900 silver, supposed
to be that of their own money. Their
money was all brought from Japan in Mex
lean dollars and American half dollars,
stamped with the japanese MARIAN ar
rangement made by Commissioner Harris.
Foreign coin has never before been received
in Japan till lately, except at very depre-
ciated value.
At San Francisco they exchanged their
silver for American gold, which Purser
Doran, of the Roanoke, has in charge, for
safe keeping. This we understand will be
deposited in the Snb-Treasury at New York,
and drawn out as they want it.
They bring an immense amount of bag
gage-over eighty tons--which made four
full car loads over the Panama rAilroad.-
They have fifteen boxes containing valuable
presents for the President Of the United
States.
They have large quantity of beautiful
silks, brocatels, linen. Grape silk, pongees,
