Weston started at five P. NJ. on Friday,
prior TO which he had slept ten hours,

Scene mt an English Menagerie

An exciting accident took place re-
Gently at Mrs. Wombelrs menagerie,
which has been located on, Glasgow
Green. Itwould appear that the head
k, eper had been going round the differ
ent wagons giving description of the
animals, and was about to enter the one
in which the collection of leOpards is
inclosed, for the purpose of putting
them through their performances, when
the Dyl ghu, u fine specimen of the an
telepe, alarmed, it is supposed, by the
noise caused by the rush of the people
toward the lcopards' wagon, became
very restive, ran round its contine sew
eral times, aud then sprang right
through an aperture in the front frame
work of the wagon on to the ground
among the audience, a depth of about
nine feet.
The frame work in front of the wages
is so constructed as TO leave an open
ing of about eighteen inches wide, at a
liuht of about four feet from the bot
tom, in order that the animal may dis
play its head to the visitors. On alight-
ing it carried round the place in DIES.
perate manner, creating the utmost con-
stcrnatior and alarm among those pres
ent, and an immediate rush was made
to the door, many of the women scream
ing and fainting; others, however, per-
haps better acquainted with the harm
lesSneSs of the animal, remained to sec
the movements of the beautiful Crea-
ture which had thus obtained its liberty.
With the tleetness which is character
istic of its species, it bounded toward
the camels, which were stationed at the
upper end OF the interior, sTrang right
over two or three of the largest of them,
down the sides Of the caravans
into the elephants apartment, and
first jumped over the heads of nearl y a
dozen of the people, over two or more of
the camels, and over another man. Here
il was endeavured to be arrested by an
other man who placed himself in front
of it, but it reared itself on its hind legs
and by an easy and graceful leap went
over his head aud again into tho ole
pbant's wagon. The elephant, not
liking the intrusion, ran out, and was
secnred by the proprietor, who had ar
rived at the scene of the cOmmotiOu
That gentleman. fearing that the ele-
phant might prove obstreporous, gave
orders for its safe custody, and also
ordered the keepers, who were at their
POSTS at the time, to secure the nyl ghu
in the elephants wagon, which was i'm
lncdiately done, and his exciting adj
venture terminated. The animal is one
of the largest and most magnificent au-
telopes ever exhibited, is about five feet
high at the shoulders, and very power
ful and resOlute.

The Real Reactiou.

from tne new 1OTk hoIluJ
Who any longer doubts the setting of
the tides Let him look at Connecticut!
When one short month ago the wave
first broke in angry thunder on the
granite Iedges of New Hampshire, the
Radical office holders and contractors
and impeachers affected to mistake its
voice of doom for casual surge of the
political sea- This in their public
prints they, did. Bnt in the private
haunts of those who shape their party
end another and very different spirit
ruled. There were dismay, anxiety,
and a frantic desperation prompting
to any measure by which the
rising tide might haply be stayed
ere its ayenging billows should
sweep over aud sweep away
the fabric of moral despotism and po-
litical corruption called Government of
the Union by the Rump of arCongress.
By universal consent it was felt that
the elections of April in Connecticut
would be the crucial test of the power
of this despotism and this corruption
to check the Real Reaction OF the
American People to American Princl-
pies. On those elections all the re-
sources of the most opulent party this
country has ever seen were lavished.
Money was. poured into Connecticut
from all the great centres of Radical
Power. The High Court of Impeach-
ment sat in Judgment upon every office
holder in the sturdy little State, bidding
him tremble for his head, for the eye Of
Wade, the coming man, was upon
him. And as if this were not enough,
the General of the Armies" as the 1ri-
bune with an ihsolent parade of militia
ry power pOmpously describes him, was
leashed and then let loose upon the
field to threaten with the terrors of the
sword and to palsy with the prestige of
the great name Won for him by the sac
ritice of thousands of heroic lives. All
that Radicalism could do-more than
all that Americans bred in the tradi-
tions of American freedom had ever
dreamed an American party would dare
to attempt-was done. And now, the
answer coNes.i
The wave that rose on New Hampshire,
sweeps in victory over Connecticut.
The voice of the People that daunted
these bioated tyrants Of an hour in
March, damns them in April. The CO.
horts that came down to the battle
cleaning in purple and gold, in the pur-
pie of place aud the gold of corruption,
where are they today
"The~m might of the GENTLE, unsmOte by the
sword
Hath melted, like snow in the glance of the
Lord" ..
To Connecticut, which speaks to-day,
the West will answer with Wisconsin
TO- morrow. The Real Reaction" has
set in; and in its triumphant and aveng-
ing progress neither banded wealth,
nor the glamour of great names prosti-
tuted to petty ends, nor any living thing
shall avail to stay the coming of the
People once more to enjoy their OWE.

killed in duel, was disposed Of under
a will which was proven to be forgery
concocted after his death in New York,
aAd so pronounced by yone of our dis
trict judges, before whom the case was

mat the forgery was not proven until
The will Lad been duly admitted to

District Court decided that the admis.
sion of the will to probate was final

taken to Set it aside as fraudulent. As
said, under this decision, the whole
estate, now worth millions of dollars,

other case can be found Oh the record

Kappa" telegraphs the Boston
Transcript that the difficulty between
General Butler and General Grant has
been at last amicably arranged. The
friends of both parties have been en-
gagged for some time past in a sort of
diplomatic correspondence with n view
of bringing them together. The chief
actor in this business has been George
Wilkes, who has been here for some
weeks ostensibly as spectator of the
impeachment trial, but really as nego-
tiator between Grant and Butler. The
latter's resentment against Grant has
secn very bitter. He could not well
forget the pungent criticism on his mil
itary services when alluded to as being
'corked up at Bermuda Hundred. After
this had been satisfactorily explained
away by the diplomatic Wilkes, Butler
said Grant had insulted him by sending
him an invitation to his supper after
having stated to the country in his re-
port that he was 'corked np.' This also
was explained, and Butler has consent
ed at last to smoke the pipe of peace"

RnItimore and Rremen.

The Philadelphia North .ImeriedH
makes the following interesting obser.
vations relative to the establishment OF
line of steamships between Baltimore
and Bremen. 1t is believed in Balti-
more that correspondence with Germa-
ny will be more. remunerative than di-
rect trade with either England or
France: u rrfr. 'rrg '1-tl
In 1867, the shipment of tobacco
thither was ~, 100 hogshead, or only TO-
t0OO less than N 1861, and greater than
in apy but two of the last thirteen
years. The cotton shipment thither
was but seventy three bales in 1851, and
has been 2l54 bales already this year.
Navah stores aud Rio coffee. asslst IN
completing the outward cargoes. The
imports and experts Of Bremen were
S45. 900 900 in 1857, and ten years later
the Baltimore imports from there were
Sl2, zoo, 900, and the exports $4,000, ,OeO.
More immigrants leave that port for
this country than any other on the con-
tinent, and 10000 reached Baltimore
from there last year.
These are the general facts under
which the North German Lloyds have
stated q line of steamships to Balti-
more. The vessels are new and adapt
cd to the route, and great hopes are en-
tertaincd that they will bring up the
commerce Of BaltiRorc 10 the point II
should and may occupy. The city has
western, connections by the Baltimore
and 0hiO Railroad. 1t has cemmunica
ton with the S,uth as well as with the
North, and line of coastwise steamers
ply to Charleston, Havana and the Gulf
ports.
In order to injure this undertaking,
New York has begun to work. Appli-
cation was made to Congress for sub
vention to New York line to Bremen
so soon as it was found that Baltimore
was really at work in the matter. On
Friday the House Committee on Post
offices agreed to report a bill guaran-
teeing bonds to the amount ofS3, 500, 900
to u line carrying the United States
mails. The bill was before the Senate
some time ago, and was rejected as q
swindle. 1t will be strenuously opposed
by the House now, and cannot pass the
Senate. Its failure will deserve no
great sorrow, since its great aim is to
injure the Baltimore undertaking,
which we all have good, reason. to hope
may succeed Fit does, there will be q
new and more potential argument for
our merchants attempting direct steam
with Europe: and SOON
or or later, but at no remote period, we
arc confident that the attempt will be
made. II It
