awaited with his prisoner. On seeing the
boat land, the fellow struggled so despe-
rately, that OF 4 men were required to
hold him. He was dragged on board by
the hair, flung on the deck and bound se>
curely. At Port Byron our reinforcements
were landed. The boat touched at
Hampton, and half dozen men went up
town and captured one Of the murderers,
as he stood in the street watching the boat.
His companion had escaped. After at
tempting to land the boat on the island,
where thorough search might be made,
without being impeded by the crowd, and
after being refused permission by General
Rodman, the exhibition landed safely at
Rock Island, where vast concourse of
people had assembled. The whole affair
was complete success, and reflects great
credit on the leaders of the exhibition,
and the public spirited men who composed
it. The ringleaders were at once mached
to Jail. Among the principal rioters is a
man who killed the mate on the Minnesota
several years ago.
On Friday morning the prisoners pre-
sented a gloomy appearance. After being
incarcerated in Jail, they began to realize
the situation. The fumes of liquor having
departed, the terrors Of their condition
fully dawned upon their minds. We Wis.
tied the Jail, and had ample opportunity
for observation. They are wild looking

"SEElN6 THE ELEPHANT"

"SEEiNG THE ELEPHANT"
A couple of lads in Portage City climb
ed tree outside the tent to get a "dead
head' view of the Ferepaugh circus.
What came of it, the Register tells as
follows:
''As soon as the elephant was through
with, in the ring, the managers brought
him out and hitched him to the identical
tree, from the limbs of which the lads
were viewing the circus. To ga boy up
tree" this thing looked little out of
order, but they kept as quiet as death,
fearing that they would either lose the
closing views Of the performance, or be
the subjects Of the displeasure of the cir
Gus man, if he should discover them '.dead
heading" it to his show. In due time the
performance closed, the crowd dispersed,
and, horror upon horrors, the keeper OF
the animals now added to the perils of
their situation by hitching two smaller
elephants and camel to the same tree.
Our lads now discovered that'they were in
for night of it, as all hands had left, ex-
cepting only themselves and the animals
on guard below. All hope Of escape was
now cut of. About this time Romeo
concluded to investigate matters above
him, and with his trunk commenced trim
ming out the smaller branches. Our boy
commenced climbing also, until they had
got above his reach and now the camel
took up the investigation, and poking his
Ugly mug up among the limbs, he drove
the boys to the very uppermost branches
of the tree, where they were discovered, at
day break. by their anxious parents. who
had been searching for them in vain all
night, lettering and tossed about like
blackbirds on the top Of rice>stalk in a
windy day. The boys saw more Of these
animals than all the rest Of the boys in
town, and "for nothin," too: and if they
dom remember the time for the balance
of their natural days when they ''sat up"
with Romeo, then we miss our guess.
The phrase, ''seeing the elephant was to
them practical application, which they
will always remember.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON. YIN. Rowell

few days ago. while on ioute to Memphis
from his place Of residence. Out of more
sport, when newsboy came around and
offered him paper, he feigned to be

of his misfortune, he got off the train,
bound for Memphis, at Mason's Depot,
and took the first return train. On The
Cars he INDUCED in loud lamentations and
cries, as if soYeld distressed On his
arrival home, so soon as he stepped
out on the platform, he seized pencil and
bit oJpaper from citizen, and wrote
"struck dumb on account Of my folly,''
and continued weeping in most piteous
tones.

county was on the verge Of ruin. These
Democratic estimates we're circulated lar
aud wide, and tho credit Of our govern

in Europe. wher, large amouatof our
honls were held. The authors Of these
circulars were leading men Of the same

1864 voted tho way a failure, and nom,

an anxiety they manifested 10 bring their
country to financial ruin, il by so doing
they coull regain lheir lost political

rlish their ends; and yet they failed, and
what does Tie scqncl show? Instead Of
our revenue being inaieQraIe 10 pay the
interest on the national debt, under the
present administration the debt is grad.

The management OF the finances ofthe

proving eminonily successful. And
what 10 more delightful to tax payers, it
is semi, oulhortativeIy stated that there
will be no more deficiency bills presented

the johnson administration. The cut

lions TO supply deficiencies. Last month,
Secretary Boutwell, reduced the pub lie
debt over sixteen millions Of dollars. -
But q few days before, Democr &c spec
ials from Washington averred that the
reduction would be only Eve millions, =
The statement was short Of The actual
truth by two thirds. Sioco the lst day
Of March, 1869, the time when the pres
cnt administration went into office the
public debt has been reduced over thirty
six millions of dollars. At this rate the
public debt will be reduced over one
hundred millions at the end OF the pres.

there will be no public debt, but the
whole Of it will be wiped out,
