ANIMAL SAGACITY.

In indianapolis, a few days ago, a
rare exhibition of animal sagacity was
exhibited by the elephants of Baily Il
Co.'S great combination. There are
two elephants-mother and baby with
the caravan. When the elephants ar
rived at the bridge the large one refns-
ed to enter the long dark covered
way and the little one of course clung
to its dam. The latter however, SEEM
ed to explain the matter to it with n
few touches of the trunk, and the little
one came over the bridge alone. The
monster eiepaantess backed and took
water, but iastead Of going above the
bridge where the bank is most slo-
ping on the side of the river, it went
below. to the astonishment of all.
here the bank is almost perpindic-
ular. Instead ofcoming directly across,
it obliqued to about 100 yards below,
where the exvation for the foundation
of building had been almost to the
waters edge. Although the way of
egress was not visible from the bridge
as the cut strikes, the river at an angle
down stream, the sagacious animal
doubtless saw the track made by the
horses and wagons and argued that
there must be way out, and acted ac-
cOrding!y.

A Murderer and Bigamist Arrested after
Thirty Years COneeaInenf.

The Dubuque Times has the follow
ing For tHgfast fifteen or twenty years
there has lived, about dozen of miles
south of this city. farmer named Cos
tello, who, in his own community, and
among those with whom he was ac-
quainted, has enjoyed the reputation of
being an upright, honorable, and fair
dealing man. Matters prospered well
on his farm he was all attention to his
duties, and was considered good hus-
band and father.
Costello was born in Ireland, and liv-
ed there until manhood. He had set
tied down, and rejoiced in the posses
sion of wife and several children. But
an uulucky day came, when, in dis
pute, which we will hope was caused
by temper or liquor, and not in cold
blood, he struck the blow which made
him fratricide-a brother murderer,
an outlaw, and fugitive from justice.
Escaping the officers of the law, he fed
the country, embark d on an emigrant
ship, and came 10 America.
After many years of rambling thro'
this country, he came to Dubuque,
| where, by industry and economy, he
succeeded in securing good farm
Meantime, his wife and children still
remained in the old country. entirely
/ Ignorant of his whereabouts. He could
not write to have them come out to
! America, for that would only lead to
his discovery, and bring him surely to
the galIows. So he adds another, the
crime of bigamy, to that of fratricide,
by taking wife, and, unhappiIy, has
brought others into the world to share
his shame.
But his terrible secret has at last
crept out. Last week his nephew, the
son of the murdered brother, arrived
! boro, and, offnr securing the necessary
legai papers, proceeded TO the farm of
Costello and had him arrested for the
murder committed thirty years ago.
He is now on the way to Ireland to be
tried, and if no circumstances can be
adduced to justify the fratricide, 10 suf-
fer for it to the full extent.

quick to avail themselves Of every profered facil

in California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone To-day great numbers of feet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the transmission of
early Intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seep0rts, were now in
