On Thursday of next week occurs the
anniversary of the extinction of Slavery
in Maryland. The colored people Of that
State disire to celebrate the event, and
some of them who have been regularly
organized as military companies have re-
spectfully asked from the State authorizes
the privilege of joining in this celebration
under tie perfection of the regular State
police. The Commissioners of Police
have promptly and emphatically refused
such premission. Maryland, therefore,
presents to an admiring world the spec
tacle of State that has by its own laws
emancipated a fourth of its citizens, and
yet denies them the poor privilege OF
commemorating the day of there deliver
ance. There is but one step further for
these audacious negroes to the sEare-pen
whence they came; and who doubts that
this woald be done if the ability to per-
form were equal to the desire to do?

Sisns and Wonders.

1. To walk along the street at mid
night and find pin pointing towards
you signifies good luck. TO turn cor
ner suddenly at the same hour and find
n pistol pointing toward you signifies
the necessity that you should ''get up
and get'' behind some thing. A big
tree is preferable. '.f 5
2. To buy tripe OH Friday is bad luck.
To buy it on Monday, Tuesday or any
other day in the week, on credit, is
worse.
8. Ifyou leave home in the morning
and forget something you wanted to
take down town with you, it Is bad luck
to turn back without making an \ mark
and splitting in the center of 1t. But 1t
is worse If your wife got up mad that
morning, because she might throw a
breakfast plate at you for coming bnck
when her mad steam Is up. Wait ill
next morning. a 5E
4. If you see n spark in the candle
wick at night, it is a sign you arc going
to get letter. For fear the letter might
be a dun for your last bill, 1t Is best to
sleep In d room where they use gas
Candles are good in the country, but gas
is the best in the city, if you pay the gas
bill regularly.
5. When black cat comes into your
room it is q sign of death. In order to
make it certainty we would advise the
killing of the cat. This will probably
avert catastrophe in the family that
might might cause grief and won't
hurt the cat much-only one-ninth.
6. If lady puts on her stockings
wrong side outward, it is sign of good
luck-if she does it unintentionally. Ii
she does it on purpose, it is a sign the
stockings are not as white as snow. In
view of the fact that ladies do not wear
stockings unless they are as white as
snow, this fact applies only to "blue
stockings"
:. IT. you dream that you are dining at
a first class restaurant on the choicest
viands, it is sign you went to bed hum
cry. 1t is supposed that the patrons of
lunch houses only have such dreams.

A Three Hours Combat with an
Elephant

Mr.. Hyatt Frost. of Van Amhurgh's
menagerie, gave us, yesterday, the par
ticulars of terrible fight with Tippoo
Sahib, the well known elephant, which
occurred at Conncrsvillc, Indiana, last
Tuesday. The menagerie has gone into
winter quarters at that place, and the
colossal animal il chained i'm n small
building. where he will be kept until
the show season opens next year
Tippoo Sahib, by the way, is now the
largest elephant in America. He is
thirty-siX years old, and weighs ten
thousand pounds.
The battle with Tippoo resulted from
a change in his keepers. Frank Nash,
his keeper for ten years, was recently
supplanted by Chas. johnson, formerly
of Barnum's menageric. The elephant
will not accept new master without a
battle, and Mr.. johnson fully prepared
himself for an exciting encounter. The
elephant was in particularly bad bnmor
with all mankind. He would allow no
body in his quarters, striking at every
intruder with his trunk and tusks most
viciously.
On Tuesday morning last, at ten
o'clock, the combat opened. The new
keeper, with nine assistants, and fully
equipped himself with chains and cables
for tying, and spears and pitchforks for
subduing Tippoo. The first thing done
was to fasten brckbat to the end of
rope and throw it over the end Of tho
tusk-chatn, which latter is fastened to

He has always been noted for a vigorous

any companion who has rashly ventured
to start on q walking expedition with
him. But the companion of the ''daily

match. A friend driving through Long,

such velocity that he stood one side un-

A young man named Joseph Bouns,
who has been employed in feeding a
nail machine at the Belmont Works,
has for several weeks been growing In
sane on the subject of politics and re-
ligion. He imagines himself an angel
sent to reform the world in its politics
and religion. His insanity so untitled
him for work that on Thursday he was
discharged from employment. Yester-
day morning he caused considerable ex-
element upon the streets by his insane
haraugues, and was arrested by the po-
lice and confined in the Jail until he
could be examined by the authorities
and legal measures be taken for his case.
Bouns was born and raised in this city,
and he has many friends who mourn
ever the sad calamity that has over
taken him. 1t is supposed his insanity
was caused by hearing political har-
argues from the pulpit, as his speeches
are of the same character of those
preached by some men whom it would he
charitable to call insane.

which we noticed yesterday:
An unknown man was killed last
night by the $50 train from Pittsburg
on the c. & p. K. R., in what is known
as the "cut," three miles above this
city. The engineer did not see the
man, who was lying on the track, until
the engine was almost on him. The
train was running at such speed il
could not be checked mp until the man
was struck, and cars, three in number
had passed entirely over him. The
train backed and took up the body,
which was 80 horribly mangled that
recognition was impossible. Half the
face was torn off and mashed, the body
cut ana limbs broken and stripped OF
their flesh. The remains were brought
to this city. The deceased was about
thirty-three years old, five feet sever
inches high, and had Oh dark pants and
black sacque coat, and soft black hat
There was nothing on the body to iden,
