THE FREMONT AND BLAIR
AFFAIR.".

New YORK, Sept. 10th.
A dispatch to the Herald from Washing
ton says:
The difficulty relative to Gen. Fremont,
is interference of the Blair family-the
Postmaster General and Co. Frank T. Blair,
jr. 1t is from them the charges have ema-
mated. I understand the real secret of the
hostihties of the Blairs is that Fremont
would not lend himself to combination
of contractors from New York, Philadel-
phia. Cincinnati, and elsewhere, who had
the patronage of the Postmaster General.
( am assured that some ten days ago Frank
p. Blair, jr., demanded that s3:OoC,oO0
worth of contracts should be given to the
combination.
Gen. Fremonts response was that 1t was
his duty to oppose all enemies Of the gov
eminent. whether Southern traitors OF
Northern schemers.
By our latest mail We learn tina Govern
ment has decided not to interfere with Gen
Fremont.

Twelve elephants were taught to march into
theater to an harmonious measure, sometimes In
circle, and sometimes divided into parties scatter
ing flowers around them all the while Pre-
serving their proper order, they would beat time
to the music during the intervals of the dance.
Being provided with splendid eouches, adorned
with paintings and tapestry, and banquet spread
before them upon tables of cedar and ivory, the
elephants, in the costume of male and female per-
sonages of distinction, would dine decorously not
one of them voraciousy taking an undue share of
the delicacies, and all drinking moderately out of
cups of gold and silver.
Germanius, according to Pliny, exhibited
elephants hurting and catching javelins fighting
with each other, and executing the Pyrrhie dance.
And it was through their love of music that
elephants were trained to dance upon ropes. Four
of them walked along rope or ropes, carrying a
litter, containing fifth, which feigning sick
ness. Many writer's confirm the testimony of Pliny
to the fact that the elephants walked backwards
and forwards upon the rope with equal precision.
Seneca in his Epistles, describes elephant who.
at the command of his keeper. would not merely
walk, but would kneel down upon a rope.
Suetonius describes elephant who, in the
presence of the Emperor Galba, climbed up an
inclined rope 70 the roof Of theater and descended
in the saRe way, bearing a sitter upon his back.
Arrian medtions elephant who performed as u
musician 20 his dancing comrades. With cymbal
fastend to each of his knees, and third to his
trunk, he would beat measure with astonishing
precision and accuracy, while the other elephants
danced in circle round him.--licEen's "AH tho
