THE EMPRESS ELEPHANT.-The En-
press with French's circus and caravan,
here on Wednesday, is the largest and
noblest of the elephant species ever on
exhibition in this section. She weighs
over seven tons, and knowing her late
misfortunes, the audience had much SYM
patty for her, and were well pleased that
no extra performances were required of
her while here. At Salisbury she
fell through bridge some twelve
feet, and though apparently not hurt, was
doubtless made sore by the fall. A day
or two after while leaving and near Rut-
land, she slipped and fell in the high
way, in consequence of the clay soil be-
ing moist and slippery from the late
rain, and became completely cast and
unable to rise, and had to be raised with
levers and ropes. This made her still
more sore, but she kept her good temper
and kindness through it all. When she
found she was going over she made a
terrible wall followed with an equal one
by the little elephant. These circum-
stances have very naturally created much
sympathy for the noble Empress whose
patience has thus been SO severely tried

The NEW UNITED STATES ASSISTANT TREASURER.

The public were taken somewhat by surprise at
the announcement that Mr.. Charles Foger had been
appointed Assistant Treasurer OF the United States,
to I'LL the vacancy caused by the resignation OF
General Butterleld. Mr.. Folger is native OF this
State, we believe, ana has been for many years
prominent and active politician OF western New
York. He first appeared conspicuousy before
the people In 1862, when he entered
the State Senate, to which he had been
elected the year previous, beating Mr.. Hadey,
his democratic competitor In the district by ABA
majority. Upon the close Of his term he was re-
elected by 2,251 majority; in 1855 he was elected
third time by 21lo majority; IN 1867 he was
again returned by 1247 majority and at the recent
election was chosen Senator for the fifth time, and
by still smaller majority than at the last previous
election. In the Senate Mr.. Folger served on the
Judiciary Committee, and was always quite popular
with his party. He is lawyer by profession has q
large practice and is said to be rather conservative
in his views. AS debater, however he is very
sharp In his language towards political opponents.

A CooIie Casc-A Guy on the High Seas

A CooIie Cnse-A Guy on the High Sens.
The annals of maritime horror have not
many incidents to match the story that comes
to us from San Francisco of what happened
on the bark Margaret Camden. Often enough
we have heard Of the mutiny of coolies and
the subsequent murder Of captain and crew ;
but never before have we had presented q
close to the story 80 complete and dramatic as
that involved by the action of this very Guy
Fawkes of mate. We are informed that,
escaping to the hold after the murder of the
captain, the mate prepared small mine under
the main hatch with keg of gunpowder and
lighted it by slow match, and then called
the coolies to the place just in time to give
them the full benefit of the blow-up. Upon
examination there does not seem in this any
thing inconsistent with what is called general
truth" by those who treat on the poetic art
Every part of it might happen. We may
picture in our minds eye the enraged fellows
in search of the mate, rushing to the hatch
and tumbling down it as they hear his voice,
and again picture the fight of their limbs
through the air and the flight of the mate to q
safe distance. While we thus employ the
fancy on the telegraphic hints we may also
wait for fuller account before we determine
whether this story Of the high seas is not
rather highly seasoned.

The Scholarship Mercury.

We published yesterday an interesting ac-
count of the festivities aboard the schoolship
Mercury, which is lying off the Battery. The
exhibition Of naval manGuvres performed by
the boys, including the drill, the manning of
the yards, the piping to quarters, and the rest,
was highly satisfactory. These boys, it should
be remarked, represent the truant, but not
the vicious element of young New York.
Some of them bear old Knickerbocker names,
although the majority are of Celtic extraction.
Nearly all promise to prove that a superhuity
of animal life and spirit may be rem
dered available by proper training for
the most substantially useful purposes OF
such stuff are the best sailors made. The
Commissioners of Charities and Correction
merit great praise for having successfully
overcome all obstacles to the execution of
scheme that has already been practically real
lied in England and at Boston in New Eng
land. 1t is gratifying to record the Inaugural
ton at New York of system which cannot
fail to supply both our navy and our mercan-
tile marine with what there is crying need of
at present, namely, recruits thoroughly well
educated for the duties of one of the most
difficult, most fascinating and most noble pro-
fessions to which the citizen of free republic
and great maritime nation like our own can
devote his life.

A CHANGE OF BAsE.-The Irish radical agi-
tators in England advise their countrymen to
abstain from the use of tobacco all over Great
Britain, so as to embarrass the imperial trea-
sury and thus perhaps effect certain political
object. In the time of Charles the First the
'insolent pipemen" Of the Cromwellian party
pulled their tobacco smoke in the face of the
King, with the view of humiliating the unfor-
tunate monarch. The same agency and the
same object, but difference in the nsodals
operandi. Curious historical condolences or
repetitions come up almost daily

The Lecture Season.

The modern newspaper has not SO much
diminished as it has intensified and widened
the influence Of the speaker. 1t has infinitely
multiplied the audience addressed by the
orator, whether he speaks in the pulpit, in
Parliament, in Congress-, at the dinner table,
on the stump" or in the lecture room. The
HERALD on Monday morning repeats to hum
dreds OF thousands the Sunday sermons which
only few thousands could personally hear.
On any day it may send to the uttermost parts
OF the earth the echoes of the eloquence which
secular orators anywhere utter. But tho

swiftly and far as they fly, will never lesSNn
the power which, according to high authority,
the foolishness of preaching" exerts, or the
magnetism of the ringing voice, the flashing
eye, the impressive gesture-in fine, the living
presence of the speaker. The age of elo-
quence has not passed. This is one reason
why "lectures" are still popular. During the
lecture season which has just opened they
promise to be more numerous than ever. No
less than seven delivered in this city and In
Brooklyn on Tuesday night were reported yes
terday by the HERALD. The variety oftopics Of
which they treated is particularly noteworthy
Miss Kate Field, at Steinway Hall, recounted IA
her peculiarly forcible and sprightly style che
adventures of the ''Black Fly Club" ard told
how ladies rough it in the Adirondack. Pro-
lessor Frederic L. Ritter, at Webers Hall, on
the Fifth avenue, delivered the first of series
OF lectures on the ''History Of husc." Mr..
George William Curtis, at Trenor Lyric Hall,
made scholarly and eloquent discourse on
american Literature" Mr.. John B. Cough,
the well known apostle of total abstinence,
gave lecture on Temperance" at the Cooper
Institute. Rev. DR.. Altman, at the Spring
street Presbyterian church, leetured on
developing Manliness," sensibly indicating
as one of the most effectual means for that
purpose the useful education to be derived
from regularly reading s'some ably edited
newspaper" Rev. Charles Il. Payson, at the
Fortieth street Presbyterian church, near Lex
ington avenue, gave an Interesting description
of IA Walk and Talk About the Tyrolese
Alps" and at the Episcopal Church of the
Reformation, in Brooklyn, Rev. T. d. Talmage
lectured on the various instructions to material
success in life, or, ''The Rocks on which Peo-
pie Split" The clergymen who have thus
entered the lecturing field show commendable
disposition to enlarge the sphere of their influ-
ence by imparting practical as we'll as doc
trinal instruction to their congregations. IF
lecturing committees in our cities and rural
districts be careful to secure the services Of
the best talent, and If lecturers be more studi-
GUS to instruct as well as to entertain, we shall
anticipate fruitful results from the lecturing
season which has so auspiciously opened

The New Assistant United States Treasurer
ut New York.


A despatch from Washington states that the
place of Assistant United States Treasurer
in New York, to fill the vacancy created by
General Butterfeld's resignation, has been
rendered by the President to Mr.. Charles j.
Folger, State Senator from the Twenty ixth
district in the last Legislature and reelected
for the coming session, and that he will accept
the place. AS partisan leader in the State
Senate Mr.. Folger did very well for the party of
which he was the acknowledged head in the
Senate Chamber. Pertinacious in debate, but
violent in temper to degree that made his
orations an amusing features to the listeners, he
has shown none Of those solid qualities of char
acter which are not only desirable, but abso-
lutey requisite, in financial officer. His
honesty may be unimpeachable indeed, in his
Senatorial career no breath of suspicion rested
upon him. Among the few incorruptibles of
his republican colleagues in the last Senate

BELKNAP Is SECRETARY OF WARM the
choice of Mr.. Belknap for the Office he
holds we have another instance of the sa-
gacity of General Grant in choosing men of
positive qualities to perform positive duties,
and we are not sure but the country will
finally have to acknowledge, in regard to
many improper appointments and some noto-
riously bad ones, that they were all made
by the President in spirit of complaisance
to advice and always to the detriment of
some better man upon whom the President
had fixed his thoughts. Mr.. Belknap is, we
believe, Grants own choice, and he promises
to be Secretary who will render no feeble
assistance to the Executive in the admins
tration of his office. 1t is an excellent thing
to have harmony between the Secretary Of
War and the General Of the Armies; but
it is better thing for the country to know
exactly who is Secretary and that no places
Of such Importance are held by dummies.
This is government in which it is necessary
to fix the responsibility.

A Little Job in Books.

The Brooklyn Board of Education are very
busy about the contracts for furnishing books to
the public schools. number of proposals
were presented on Tuesday evening by book
publishers and Others which were referred to
an appropriate committee. The furnishing Of
books to the common schools Of Kings county
has always been fat job for somebody.
Under the old system, which has been only
recently abolished, the pupils had to pay for
their own books while the scholars in the
schools of New York were supplied with books
gratis. But lately the pupils in Brooklyn have
been supplied with books without pay on condi-
ton that they return them to the school when
they are done with them. While this arrange
ment insures the pupil the use of the books
used in the different classes, 1t does not deprive
the committee of chance to make good thing
out of the job There is fat and juicy nut in
this shell which the committee and the pub
fishers and the outside contractors will no doubt
pick between them. Meantime the citizens of
Brooklyn are very disconnected with the way
the public schools are managed. They com
plain that all the teaching has to be done at
home by the parents, while the principals and
teachers simply give out the lessons to be
studied by the children. The duty which.
under the school law, properly belongs to the
paid teachers, is thus transferred to the homes
and fresides Of the parents, who are taxed for
the maintenance Of the public schools. Brook
Ign is in rebellion against this state Of things:
but what does that matter as long as the Board
OF Education can make its little jobs?
