sage Of a joint resolution, passed by the Board
Of Aldermen Of the last Council, providing for
the taking Of the census Of the city Of wash

BY u.s.
Mr.. Moore said Congress only had authority
10 order tho taking Of the census Of this city;
the city was entirely poweress in the matter; Its
charter did mot provide for II. The act Of Con-
gress provided for the taking Of census Of the
children Of the city between the ages of and
IL years, and that only by Its own officers, that
body not even making an appropriation for that
purpose. We have had now to lay out from
800, 900 to $125, 900 for our own schools, and
some $22, 900 to children, some Of whom are
comparative strangers 1t would be still worse
hereafter. Why should we take q census that
would be the means Of Wrestling from us thou
sands and Thousands Of dollars for colored
schools. We must pay an astounding price for
the privilege Of educating our own children.
And yet these educators Of colored children
are not required to report the use to which this
money Is put. The time Of education was IN
creased two years for the benefit Of these new
comers, while our children, heretofore, only
were granted the advantages Of education until
they arrived at the age Of sixteen years. All
this Is to be done at the expense Of the corpora
tion. And this census Is to be taken, by the
bill, by the Metropolitan police.
Mr.. Noyes said that Notwithstanding the
gloomy picture drawn by the gentleman, (Mr.
Moore,) he was satisfied that Dr.. Barnard had
done this in friendship to all. He believed that
the bill was drawn up in good fsith to all con-
osrned. ....
Mr. Moore replied that he was satisfied all
this was we'll intended, but that We had no au-

An EIenhant Story.

An elephant dealer, by name Buxoo. was
travelling from Sylbet, to Northern India
with a string of elephants for sale. When
he arrived at Hurdwar, where the Ganges
flows down from the mountains into the
plains of Hindostan, it was the time of the
great naela, or annual fair, when the Hin
docs come in myriads to bathe in their sa-
cred stream. This is the time when ele-
phant merchants from the South. horse
dealers from Cabool, Clutch and Katywar,
the sellers of camels from Central India and
bullock-drivers from Hissar and Delhi
bring their animals; for SALE.
aBnxoo soon found customers for five out.
of six of his animals. The sixth for some
reason best known to Buxoo and others
skilled in elephants, remained unsold. The
last and greatest day OF the fair came, and
our merchant was in a state of the utmost
anxiety lest he should have this one ele-
phant left upon his hands. At the moment
when the fair became busy. up came a viii
lager who began close examination of the
elephant. Buxoo became more than ever
uneasy. ,Tzr.i c.1- .'-l-
"SoOne Bhai," said he-that is. 'slisten,
my brother"-''I can see you are a judge OF
elephants. Now, say-nothing to hinder
the sale of mine mean to ask only 800
rupees, and you shall have fifty tor your
self"
| The villager assented. Presently pur-
chaser was found, and the fifty rupees hon
estly paid over to this Judge OF ele-
phants." AS he was quietly putting the
fifty rupees in the folds of his GUNNER

lowing question::

out, that there, was anything amiss with
my elephant? thought. l had got him up
well for SALE" ~, .....-.......-.. .7r

Horrible hatchery of n Little
Girl.


The atrocity of the Coriell murder In
New Jersey has been surpassed by hor-
rible affair at the market town of Alton, in
HAMPSHIRE, England. On the afternoon of
the Nth of August, some children were
playing in meadow just outside the town.
when strange man beckoned to one of
them, a child of eight years, named Fanny
Adams, and coaxed her, byTa, preseHt Of a
alEpenny, to go with him into a neigh
boring hop garden. She was never seen
again alive. The same evening laborer
going home from work found in the hop
garden discovered head resting upon tN o
hop-poles at the loot OF a hedge He ran,
with it to the cottage of the Adams fami-
ly, and it was Immediately recognized as
the head of the missing girl. The whole
population now turned out to search the
neighboring fields. A leg and foot
were found in q one place, forearm
in another; a hand, severed from
the wrist. q foot cut off at the ankle,
the mutilated trunk, full OF stabs and gashes,
a part of an arm, the heart and intestines.
and the tattered remnants of the clothes
were picked up scattered over long dis
tances. The eyes had been gouged out, the
ears cut off, and the flesh of the legs and
thighs ripped open to the bone.s a young
man named Baker-a fellow of Indifferent
character-was arrested on suspicion and
trates of blood were found ON his clothes,
while In his diary was this entry, in bold
and unfaltering hand: Saturday, August
"a, killed a young girl; fine and hot.n A
corener's jury found him guilty, and he
was held tor trial. So the case rests. Mo-
tives for the crime can only be conjectured,
and the shockingly mutilated state of the
remains makes it impossible to ascertain
what degree of violence may have preced-
ed the murder. The circumstantiaI evil
dence against the prisoner seems strong.
The chief point in his favor is the difficulty
OF imagining how any body but raving
maniac-and he is certainly not that
could commit such a frightful butchery.
