Our GESEnMa-Itis a remarkable fact that We have
deyeoped more generals OF 6rstcass military talent IN
our four wear war than Europe has produced in any
twenty wears Of her military history This faet.is the
more Extraordinary when consider that most these
men were taken from the civil walks of life Many Of
them Il ia trus had been educated at our military aead
emv AZ West Point and held commissions in the regular
army but large number Of these had retired trCths
service long before the broke out and adopted uoe
profitable occupations The regular army four yesm
ago was q very small nucleus-amounting ia al
branches of the service to average number OF four
teen thousand nen-out Of which to form the brilliant
catalogue of great soldiers which occupies the mus

TIE STORY Oh In ELEPHANT,

THE famous elephant Hannibal is dead
He died May s, at Centreville, Penn, Of
lung fever, after a sickness lasting six
days. EIephantsaro popularity supposed
to live two or three hundred years, and
as Hannibal had only reached the age of
sixty-fve or seventy, it may be said that
he was cut off in the flower Of his youth,
although he had been so long known to
the public from having been attached to
the menagerie Of his late owners, Messrs.
Van Amburgh & Co., for over forty
years, that he was universally spoken Of
as cold" Hannibal. But breaking
through bridges, swimming icy cold
rivers, and the straininglabor of climbing
steep banks, are not conducive to longe-
vity in elephants and as all elephants
have a good deal of such work to 90
through in the course Of their travels in
this country, it IS doubtful if we shall
see another one attain an equal lease of
existence on this continent. At all
events, 1 don't expect to sec It.
Hannibal was brought to this country,
from the East Indies, in 1924, and was
supposed to be about twenty-five years Of
age on his arrival. He was purchased by
a butcher with taste for natural history
and speculation, and placed on exhibition
in a stable in the Bowery. Thence he
was taken to the menagerie Of his late
proprietOrs, and he remained in possession |
of Van Amburgh & Co., at the time of
his death. All who have visited the
building on Broadway during
he past two winters will doubtless retain
/ vivid recollection of the appearance of
he monster as he stood rocking himself
lnceasingly in the rear of the performing
ages on the lower floor, or shambled
nto the ring with his keeper, to give
-isitors better view of his huge proper
ions. He stood about eleven feet IN
