A correspondent, specializing upon
these different refreshment rooms,
says: 1.-THE Englishman will expect
to have his roast beef and ale; the
Yankee his pork and beans, buck
wheat cakes and green corn; the
Dutchman his sauerkrdut; the Span
lard his ola caldo and dulces; the
Italian bis maccaroni; the Esqui-
maux his blubber, and the China

TIE WoULD-BE ASSASSIN OF
BIsMARK.--It seems that the young
man who attempted the assasslna-
ton OF Count Bismark, and was
overpowered and secured by the
doughty old statesman, was the step
son Of one Karl Blind, a friend Of the
Karl Schurz who made the discovery,
when he was sent South to examine
the condition of the country, that
meddlesome people were not liked.
Well, the young Blind, so-called,
failed in his murderous design on
Bismark, but to be sure that a muir
der was committed killed himself.
IL is said that Bismark wore coat
of mail. A writer in the ST. Louis
Missouri Westliche Post, wishes a
German meeting called there to
resolve:
L. That we do not condemn the
course Of Ferdinand Blind:
2. That we offer our deepest sym
pathies to the unfortunate mother
and his honest step-father.
The elder Blind is the correspon-
dent, from London, of the Post, and
says, in communication to that
paper;
Among the different tokens of
sympathy offered by the English
press to the family of the deceased,
some words have filed the concerned
with the deepest grief, because they
seemed to make certain discrimina-
ton between the parents and their
son. The following protest addressed
to the London Times, was refused
insertion in spite of the most urgent
requests of the family, though it has
since appeared in some other Eng
lish papers:
TO The Editors Of the Times
With a bleeding heart and depressed
by grief, / lay the palm of martyr
dom on the grave Of one who was the
pride and happiness of his mother,
and whom l for once will regard as
my true son. 1t would be impossible
to imagine a more noble and affec.
tiouate character than his. The love
of his country and of liberty, carried
him off to sacrifice himself in order
to spare his country from an iniqui-
tous war. His heart abounded with
flial affection and the most mag.
unanimous enterprises. Others may
blame him, but nobody should ex.
pect of me, to whom he looked as tc
a father, that | should authorize him
to say that | allowed myself to cen
sure one whose inspirations were the
purest, and who-though to the
deepest grief Of my inconsolablt
wife and myself-has sacrificed his
promising life to the welfare Of his
country. KARL BLIND.

Dan Rice's Elephant on . Ben.

The bic elephant attached to Dan
Rice's circus, that exhibited at Utica last
Saturday, concluded to go on a raid last
night. His keeper had confined him in
the tent on the commons, back Of the
reservoir, for the night, and then, think.
eng his charge would behave, went to his
hotel. In the middle Of the night the
police at the station.house were aroused
BY a man rushing in SO excited that he
could hardly speak. He declared that
the wild beasts had broken loose, and that
headed by the elephant, they made an at.
tack on Corn Hill and that the citizens
of that locality were fleeing fer their lives,
and that he had barely escaped to tell the
tale
The driver Of his elephantship was
aroused, and on proceeding to the scene
Of action, the elephant was fond in a
garden, corner Of Steuben and Eagle
streets, quietly munching cabbages, tur-
nips, and other "garden sass" SOMEBODY
who watched his motions says fences we're
no protection at all, he would quietly
pick up a length Of fence and lay it one,
side, and then clay into the coveted cab
bages. In a short ifnt the contents Of
the gardens had been disposed Of, and he
was looking about for more provisions
when the Keeper arrived and relieved the
anxiety Of the Inhabitants of'that locality.

On the 10th of July, in Jeromeville, WILLIS,
son of John and Anna NJ. Hoffman, aged 10
years, Z months and 10 days,
The deceased was q child whose good quail.
ties were ,insurpass ed-none more beloved,
none merlted more esteem. lie bore with the
utmost composure and resignation the extreme
suffering which characterized the whole course
of his disease, which was Bone Cancer, and
when he would see his friends shedding tears of
sympathy, he would even in his last moments
camly address them thus "Why do you weep
for me-" While we deeply deploro the loss of
one SO amiable, we can but rejoice in view of
the consoling and inspiring thought that he has
gone to a brighter and better world. For many
months previous to his decease, he had given
evidence Of q hope beyond this vale of tears
He resigned his life in the f6II hope of immor-
tality and eternal life, in view of which great
prospect he expressed the JOY full, and glorious
hope that he was prepared to die, and low while
we have great reason to believe that his depart
cd spirit basks in the realms Of eternal bliss,
may we not forget that the tomb Is waiting
and that the door of death will soon open to
receive our bodies. {,
Pale and wan he grew, and weakly,
Bearing all his pains SO meekly,
That to us he still grew dearer,
AS the trial-hour drew nearer.

Strange Freak OF a Lunatic---A

~ i've

Strange Freak or q Lunatic---A
( Terrible Ride on q Locomo-
tive.
eentralia, Qn,3 correspondence Of Chicago
lt Times.
At 4 O'Clock this morning a yard mas
ter in the employ Of the Illinois Central
railroad at this place saw a man on an en-
CINE that had steam up standing on the
track ready to go out. The y~ard-master
accosted him and told him to get off the
engine. The man replied by knocking
down the %yard-master, running the en-
CINE out on the main track, and starting
northward at a terrific rate Of speed. 4
brakeman and fireman were lying asleep
on the engine when it started. They
woke to find themselves flying away with
all the speed of the wind, and a stranger
at the engine. On examination they
found him to be a drunken stone mason
Of this place, named Fitzpatrick, who has
been raving with delirium tremens recent
ly. The two men were at first appalled,
with terror. They appealed to the mad
man to atop, but he needed them not, and
drove the engine faster and faster. He
sounded the whistle at Central City, the
first station north, but did not for q mo-
ment decrease the velocity Of the engine.
AT the junction, just above Central City,
the whistle shrleked again, and the en-.
CINE sped like a ann ball toward San.
doval. The situation was now becoming
fearfully perilous, when the brakeman
seized a piece Of coal and hurled it at the
desperate maniac. He then left the en-
CINE and turned upon the brakeman and
fireman. One of them struck him with
a sledge hammer, and after a struggle he
was secured. The engine was speedily
reversed and brought back to this city.
