- TRAGIC HUMoRs OF AN ELEPHANT.-The
August number of Bldekpood, in a paper
upon the pursuit ofone of the principal rebel
chiefs in India, incidentally alludes to the
manner in which an elephant belonging to
the pursuing force, vented his rage during a
fit of madness, to which these animals are
sometimes subject. The brute first attacked
a Highlander, and trampled him to death.
He then charged a bakers cart; the fright
tumbled cart and all into ditch. The
elephant did not hurt the bullocks, but ate
up 200 loaves in about five minutes. After
this feat, he made luxurious dessert in a
sugar-cane field, and liquored up to the ex-
tent of twenty or thirty gallons at muddy
tank. In three weeks time during which
he wandered at large,) this disgraceful fit
passed of, and the driver, who had followed
him about, retook possession.

CAPTURE OF ANOTHER SLAYER WITH EIGHT
HUNDRED NEGRoEs-Her Seizure on the Coast
Of Cabd.-Saturday's New York EDeniag
Post says: ...... p. -.4.., So
By the arrival of the steamship De Soto at
this port last evening, from Havana, we re-
ceive intelligence of the capture of still
another American SLAYER.
On the morning of October l, Spanish
man-ofwar steamer discovered q vessel
ashore near Sierra Morena which proved to
be the American screw-steamer City of
Norfolk. She had landed on the night pre-
vious 800 negroes from the coast of Africa.
After one cargo and crew had landed, full
steam was put on, the valves were opened,
her feed-pipes were cut and the City of Nor
foLk was headed seaward, and abandoned.
1t was the expectation of her captain that
she would founder, but the current, it ap-
pears, carried her ashore, which led to her
discovery, and the capture of 400 negroes,
together with the crew. The balance of the
cargo had been disposed of
The American officer and crew were sent
to Havana and confined for few days in
the Navy-yard Barracks, and finally sent by
the American Consul to Key West, on the
United States steamer Crusader, which sailed
on the eve of the 7th inst.

THE BANK OF NORTH CAROLINA ALARMED
FOR THE UNIoN.--The Raleigh IN. c. Reg
lister states, on "undoubted authority that
the State Bank of North Carolina, in view
of the alarming condition of the country,
have determined to suspend discounting
until further results shall be developed. It
adds: "That great pecuniary distress will
result from this step, can not be doubted.
The Bank of North Carolina has inst gone
into operation with large capital. The
fact that it would be to its interest to lend
ont its money freely, doubtless induced many
to make contracts and engagements, on the
faith of being able to fulfil them by accom-
modations at that institution, All such men
will, Of course, come up short, and those to
turn, be reduced to great pecuniary incon-
venience. In word, it is hard, if not inn
possible, to foretell the end of this begin

MAD FREAKS OF CoLLEGE-sTUDRETs IN

CURED at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn,
en- Thursday, which created some excite
ment. The Times gives this history of the
affair: ...g I'D. I.a..l tlIT "a"
Trinity, of late years, has had the ''in-
itiatOry" proceedings in full force. The class
was put through at 0ddfellows' Hall some
days since. But three students declined the
honor of being 'done for" Subsequently
one of them was taken to lions Hill Gem
etery, and lsshed to a grave-stone. He rep
resented Patience on Monument till late at
night, when one of his class appeared and
cut him loose. Another was forced into q
carriage and taken two or three miles away,
and slung, with a rope under his arms,
into an old well, and there left sus-
pended. One more remained - Preston
Davis Sill, of South Carolinar-a quiet, peace
able young man, who would disturb no one,
and who himself preferred not to be dis.
turbed or personally abused. Last evening
a carriage was provided, and Sill was seized
in the College yard by two students, others
being near to assist, and they attempted to
force him into the carriage. Sill, fully
conscious that he had harmed no one, and
being waylaid thus, with old wells and
tomb-stones in prospect, drew an Aliens re-
volver and fired on his assailants. In the
tussle the shot missed. The Faculty were
aroused, the assailants disappeared, and Mr.
Sill was conducted into the College.

Ingenious Device of Partisan WIfe-A
DislOyal Husband Cured of an Illicit
Love. .r-t u.t
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Express relates this story: n.
The gossips of the drawing-room are Just
now occupied with bit of general Partisan
malice and eSpiegleTie, on the part of Madame
D., wife of wealthy broker, who accident
ally discovered that the hours which her
husband pretended to while away at "The
Club" were, in reality, spent in the charm
ing society Of an actress, who bears the
reputation of very Dalila, in the cleverness
with which she subdues the Simpsons of
Partisan finance, and shears them of their
billets de bdnque.
Not at all daunted by finding herself sac
rified to so formidable a rival, Madame d.
lost no time in uselessly bewailing her sad
fate and attempting by menaces to bring the
strayed sheep back to the fold. On the con-
trary, she studiously concealed from her
guilty lord the discovery she had made, and
quietly set to work to invent some plan to
recover his fidelity, and, at the same time,
punish his treachery. Partisan wives are
vastly clever women, and Madame D. soon
arranged the programme of her campaign.
She attended the theaters at which the OBJ
noxious actress was engaged, in order to
study her manner, dress, voice, &c.
The next move was to obtain view Of the
actress's apartments, which was easily ac.
complisbed by means of an ingenious pre-.
text, put into practice during Dallas alb.
sence. After this, Madame D. made careful
| inquiries, and succeeded in obtaining the
names of the modistes, dressmakers, coifeur
perfumer, and other tradespeople employed
| by her rival. H- -
AT the end of fortnight, her plans were
completed. The suite of furniture ordered
from the actresses upholsterer was finished
and put in place while Monsieur D. was a
the Bourse. Upon returning home to din
ner, the broker was stupefed to find himsel
welcomed in boudoir, which he could havt
sworn was the boudoir Of Mademoiselle v.
by lady dressed in exact imitation of thu
aforesaid Mademoiselle ", and whom HI
might have mistaken for her, had it not beer
perfectly evident that be stood in the pres
ence of his own wife. Report further de
clares that Monsieur D., despite his occa
sional indiscretions, is a sensible fellow a
heart, and was not slow in finding key II
the seeming enigma. He was so amused a
the stratagem as to forget his usual appoint
ment at 'the Club and did, not make NOR
than amoderate number Of grimaces whel
the bills for the weapons with which his wifi
had carried on the war were presented +
| him for payment. - -

A SoMNAMBULIsT LOSES WATCH AND
FINDS 1T WHILE SLERP-WALKIRG.-As sickly
girl in Plymouth, Wis, a somnambulist,
with strong propensity to walk off with
things and hide them where they could not
be found, nor she herself remember, so that
at last it was necessary to lock her in Sc
curely at night, made off, a few weeks since,
with valuable watch. Then the family
gave her liberty and watched her move
ments, in hopes that the somnambulism that
carried it OFF would again ind it. The other
night she started out followed by her
brother. She walked over places that he
dare not follow, but the moonlight helped to
show her course, and he kept along. Finally
she walked up the trunk of an old tree that
hung at an angle of forty-fYee degrees over a
swayed beneath her, and STOPPING down,
brought out the watch. Returning to terra
.frmG, the brother awoke her, took the prop
erty and hurried home.

Important Arrest in New YOrIs-CaPrure

Important Arrest in New YOrls-Cnpture
of an Extensive Forger-The villain
Swindles the Bankers Of 100000.
Saturdays New York Times gives the
particulars of an arrest, mentioned by tel
egraph in Sundays Press XXI
At a late hour last evening, Detective Of
fcer Smith arrested German named Henry
Lowe, who is charged with having, about
three years since, swindled l.. Van Hoffman
& Co., Bankers, Of Noe HanOver-street, and
Others out Of over 100000, by means of
forged bills Of exchange on the Colonial
Bank of Demersra, S. A. The accused
managed his operations with such shrewd-
ness and tact that the victims did not sus-
pect him until some time after the alleged
forgeries, but Lowe had fed, and no trace of
his whereabouts could be ascertained, until
a few months since, when detectives got on
his track. Let evening Officer Smith, who
was watching q house on the corner of
Eighty-fourth-street and Third-avenue
where it was suspected Lowe was stopping,
had the good fortune to catch him Just as
he was leaving the house.
The prisoner, on being made acquainted
with the nature of the charge made against
him, said that he would never have been ar
rested alive, if he had been prepared, as he
usually was, and the key to this expression
was found in the shape Of a terrible-looking
Spanish knife, which was afterward found
in his trunk. .......
The officer conveyed his prisoner to the
police headquarters, and locked him up to
await an investigation. The prisoners bag
gage, which consisted of four well-filled
trunks, was found in a well-known lager
beer saloon in Grand street, where they were
stored preparatory to being removed to a
vessel to-day, as Lowe had made arrange
ments to leave for Europe. ii ~.
1t appears Lowe, about three years ago,
hired an office in Beaver-street pretending
to be merchant, doing West India bust
ness. He then commenced doing business
with Van Hoffman & Co., and other bankers,
and sold them numberless genuine bills oi
exchange on banks in the West Indies.
Things went along smoothly for several
months, until Lowe gained the confidence of
all with whom he had dealings; and then it
is alleged he obtained the 100000 by means
Of forged bills, and deposited the proceeds in
the st. Nicholas Bank of this city. He al
lowed the money to remain three days in
the bank, and he then withdrew it all in
gold, and left for parts unknown. So well
| did he cover up his tracks, that his con6den-
| tial clerk was deceived, and would hardly
| credit the fact when all was ascertained. A
| few months since the detectives arrested
certain Captain Petros, who disgorged about
| $4,000 of the ill-gotten money. II is sup
posed by the police that Lowe was assisted
by a gang of confederates. .5r

Severity of the Duke of Neweastle-HIs
Antique semblnnce.

Severity of the DulSe of NeweastIe-HIs
Antique semblance. .t
The New York Tribune thus speaks of the
Duke of Newcastle:
The Duke never dances. You would know
that wherever you should see him. A single
glance would settle that point, at least. Not
that he is by any means too old, or that he
seems at all inactive, but there is that about
him which tells you frivolities and levities
have nothing to expect from him but tolera-
tion, at the best. He might have danced at
one time, but it must have been in some in
definitely remote age-probably before the
coming of that stern and implacable beard.
1t is not easy to understand the secret of the
Dukes remarkable influence over all who
approach him--an influence which his ap-
pearance alone is always sufficient to create.
Without fairly seeing him, it is hard to COM
prehend that gentleman of ordinary hight,
hair and beard of a style and color by no
means unusual, with eyes which, though
very penetrating, are not keener than some
which continually encounter his own; with
manner rather less gracious than that of
many of his immediate companions, can
stamp, as he certainly does, upon all persons,
an impression of such sturdy dignity and
indomitable force of character.
The Dukes countenance and head do not
seem to belong to this era. If you should
see his bust in marble, you would pronounce
it an antique. lists SO square and firm upon
the solid shoulders that at first you doubt il
it can ever bend and nod in affable commu-
MON with other men who have no such heads
and no such carriage. When it does bend,
as you find it some times will, it is with no
trihing gesture; and if a smile is ever meant,
the thick beard interposes and forbids its
issuing. He stands very erect, and seems
taller than he really is; and what is more
although he gazss straight before him, you
can not evade the idea that he is looking far
away above the heads of all within the
neighborhood. His head is little large
The hair is red, pricked with gray, and is
not profuse. The beard is heavier, and, as
iustnow intimated, quite conceals the mouth
His eye is not so large as iii luminous, but
its play is like lightning, and perhaps quite
as whitening.

AN EARTHQUAKE IN MIssoURI.--The De
Soto (Mo.l Herald says that that town was
visited by real, unmistakable earthquake,
the other morning, about six o'clock. Those
early-risers who were eating their breakfast
at the time, were startled by seeing the
dishes upon the table commence an i'm
promptu dance, and shaking of things gem
orally, while those who were in the arms Of
Morpheus were suddenly aroused from their
slumbers by the phenomena. We hear of no
damage being done, with the exception OF
the breaking of few panes Of glass in win
doWs. It's course seemed to be from the
southwest to the northeast, and was ae-
companied by a rumbling noise, as some de-
scribe it, like the rolling ofaheayy substance
over the floor.

The Troubles of PIO NonO-His Protest
Against the Invasion of the PiedmOntese.

Against the Invasion of the PiedmOntese.
On the subject of the recent entrance of
the PiedmOntese into the States of the Holy
See, the Cardinal Secretary of the State has
addressed a note, dated at the Vatican, Sep
tember l9, to all the members of the diplomatic
corps residing in Rome, from which we make
this extract:
t'The Holy Father has seen nearly all the
States which are the patrimony of the Church
and of Catholics torn away from him, bit by
bit notwithstanding that the Emperor of
the French has declared to Piedmont that he
should have opposed the recent invasion,
and would have broken off all relations with
that government, if the latter had not given
him the assurance that the noted intimation
made to the Holy See would not be. carried
out, and that the Sardinians would not at
tack the Pontifcal troops. .l
"In this state of things the undersigned
Cardinal complains and protests, in the name
of His Holiness, against acts so destructive
of all laws, human and divine, and as assail-
ing the independence of the Supreme Head
of the Church, and the integrity OF the tenn
poral domain, with which he has been in
vested by the dispensations Of Providence,
for the good of religion and Of the ChuCch,
and which the Church has lawfully possessed
for so many centuries past. 8
"I therefore request your Excelleney to
communicate to your august Sovereign this
complaint and protest. The principles OF
justice, order and morality, which all princes
are bound to maintain and defend for the
safety of their thrones, give assurance that
they will oppose barrier to this spirit Of
usurpation; which, treading all law under
foot, spreads disorder by armed force, in
other States, in order to consummate spolia-
tions to the injury of the lawful sovereign
What also gives no less confidence to the
| Holy Father is the thought that attention
| will be paid to the prayers Of so many mill
| ions of Catholics scattered through all king
doms, who earnestly implore that termin.
alton may be put to the anguish and calami
| ties in which the common father of all ha
been plunged. .t
"The undersigned assures your E1cellenc.
| of his high consideration, &c.
t'ANTONELLI."

An AdOnisian WarriOF-A Soldier Danger
GUS 20 Female Hearts.

Gus TO fem0te Hearts.
A New York journal thus describes one of
the Prince of Wales suite:
A young gentleman of especially attract
i've exterior, of whom it is whispered that he
is veritable heTo-no hero of society or
fashionable Achilles, famed mostly with the
fair, but hero of sieges and battles and long
endurance and many woes and sufferings.
Is that he there, promenading as if his whole
mind were in his feet and ambitious of no
other resting-place7 That should rather be
Adonis than Mars. Bright, curling, haxen
hair and delicate beard and a womans COM
plexien, these are hardly the attributes of
heroes. But look closer, aAd you may see
the iron under the gold. This fair young
man has something besides fondness for gay
diversions in his face. The square, wide
forehead, and the frm-set mouth bespeak a
resolute spirit equal to more daring emer-
gencies than even the vanquishing of a
bashful partner in a dance.
They indicate, to degree, the qualities
which gave him renown at Kars, where,
with Sir Fenwick Williams, he sustained the
rare courage and fortitude. There are some
who say he might claim title TO higher
fame than he enjoys, lofty as that already is
But his exaltation is quite enough for this
merry crowd tonight; and perhaps nc
amount of valorous reputation could elevate
him to more eminent appreciation than
that which seems to be accorded to him
especially by those who are, have been, and
would be, beside him, and tripping gentle
toes accordant to his own. This is Major
/ Teesdale, an equerry Of the Prinee-ap-
| pointed, no doubt TO that station In recog-
! milton of his Eastern exploits.
