SAFETY OF THE BONDS.
There is no railroad bond offered upon the New

Exnc.lIent. Of punIIs,..

In the days of Peter the Great, duelling
in Russia went very much out of fashion,
by reason Of that mOnarch's passing an
edict that any man who challenged another
should be hanged, whether the meeting
took place or not. Gen. Zass and Prince
DolgorOucki, nevertheless discovered q
means of repairing their wounded honor.
ave may not fight, Prince" SAID the
General, ''but let us both stand in yonder
embrasure, against which the enemy are
directing their fire, and remain there till
one of Us Is struck"
This sagacious proposal being accepted,
both accordingly repaired to the spot in
dictated, and, in the presence of their own
army, as well as that of Sweden, ''stood
erect with one hand on the hip, and look
ing fiercely at each other until the Prince
was cut in two by cannon ball" If this
proceeding was not very sensible, it was
At least q fair enc, and the same may be
said of that professional proposal of the
physician who suggested that himself and
rival should select at random from cou-
pie OF pills, the one poisonous and the
other innocuous. A duel between bar
Der and a grocer, with razors, resulted, on
the contrary, (as might have been expect
ed,) in the victory of the former, who
had, of course, precisely the same advan-
tage as is enjoyed with pistols by the bet
ter shot

A story is told Of man who came up

Freaks Of an Elephant.

'.Jenny Lind, the elephant of menag-
erie now wintering in an Indiana town,
created terrible stir in her immediate
viciniip not long ago. The keeper being
away, she made an attempt To escape frhm
bondage. First she tried TO upset the
building in which she was living, but find
ing herself unable 10 push the solid mason
~ from It's foundation, she seized the Ze-
bra, which stood in close proximity, de-
liberately lifted the frightened beast out of
his stall with her trunk, hell him poised in
mid air, and then dashed him violently. to
the ground. One of the sacred cattle
shared the same fate. Everything was in
the widest confusion lions, tigers, and
all the wild beasts, terrified by her unusual
fury, made the building echo with ruars,
trying to burst their bars and escape. MIR.
Winner, the lion tanner, tried-bOth by
coaXIng and threatening, 10 pacify her
majesty until the return of her keeper, but
without success, aud at one time she made
her chains ring like harp-string. II she
had succeeded in escaping she would have
instantly demolished the dens containing
the animals, and the consequences would
not have been pleasant 10 contemplate.
Word was instantly sent to her keeper, Mr..
Nash, and he arrived on the scene just in
time Her royal highness was so blinded
by her RAGE that she did not recognize him
as usual by his footsiep; but the moment
she heard LIS voice and saw his terrible
spear, she irembled and begged for mercy
most piiiably.

Aarnntars. Of Crying.

A FIench physician is out in long dis
sertation on the advantages of groaning
and crying in general, and especially dur
ing surgical operations. He contends that
groaning and crying are two grand opera
tions by which Nature allays anguish, that
those patients who give way to their naih-
raj feelings more speedily recover from
accidents and operations than those who
suppose II unworthy man to betray such
symptoms Of cowardice as either TO groan
OF 20 cry. He tells of q man who reduced
his pulse from one hundred and twenty
SIX 10 sixty, in the course of few hours,
by giving full vent To his emotions. II
people are at all unhappy about anything,
let them so into their rooms and comfort
themselves with loud boo hoo, and they
viii feel a hundred per cent better after
ward.
In accordance with the above, the cry
ing of children should not be too greatly
discouraged. II II u syslemically repres
sed, the result may he St. VituS' dance,
epileptic fits, or some other disease of the
nervous system. what is natural is nearly
always useful, and nothing can be more
natural than the crying of children when
anything occurs TO give them either phys
ical or mental Fain.

That music has charm on the animal
creation has long been known. The sense
of hearing in many animals is very acute.
They love TO hear gentle voices, and are
grateful for kind words. The mouse char

his covert to listen TO his song. In an
cient times the grazing herds were charm
ed in listening 10 the flute of the shepherd.
The bell COW is proud of her bell, and
shows it in her gait, as she leads off the
herd, and shows grief when it is taken
from her, and cattle have been known to
pine away and die when deprived of their
harmonious ornament. The horse is par
ticularly charmed with music, for, Gas
the shrill trumpet sounds he pricks his
ears" Many will remember the account
of the Libyan mares, who would only be
handled when soothed with soft music,
and of the horses of the Sybarites, that
had been taught 10 dance to pleasing melo-
dies, and when bearing their masters to
battle, suddenly heard, in the enemy's
ranks, the well remembered sounds, and
instantly set 10 dancing instead of hghtingl
The same love of music in the horse has
been noted in more modern times. The
eccentric Lord Holland, of the reign of
William the III. used to give weekly con-
cert in covered gallery especially erected
for the purpose. He maintained that il
cheered their temper, and an eye witness
says that they seemed to be greatly de-
lighted Herewith.
Music Is appreciated by the elephant in
a remarkable degree. Sweet, gentle strains
delight him, while loud, harsh notes
arouse his passions to uncomfortable fury.
