RIDING An ELEPHANT.

A menagere gave an exhibition recently at
the Indian village of Pottawatomie, in ansas
and during the night party of braves broke
into the tent and stole the elephant. They
undertook to ride the animal about town. In
a few minutes the air resounded with the
crash of demolished wigwams and the shrieks
of the terrified Indians.
The child of the forest iabbed knives and
arrows into the sides of Old Emperor-for so
the beast was known to showmen-wthout
doing him a bit of good. On he rushed, hall
mad with rage and fright, destroying every
thing within reach, and driving the people out
into the prairies. When he had trampled
large part of the village into ruins, and stripped
the roofs off the rest of the lodges, his keeper
came up, and "the father of all the animals
was secured.
The Southern Democrats have just been try
ing to ride an elephant, with similar results.
Their Old Emperor, Mr.. Jefferson Davis, was
picturesque and profitable feature in the Demo-
cratic menagerie 80 long as he was securely
hobbed and kept quiet in his corner Once
in while a cautious Snowman might walk
him around the tent, to the delight OF the
gaping rustics and small boys, and occasionally
he raised his trunk and emitted mild roar,
not at all alarming in itself, but suggestive OF
terrible possibilities. But his principal occu-
patton after all was to stand still, and be led
with cakes, and stared at as marvel, with
the strength of giant and the dOcility OF
child. In an evil hour some unauthorized
persons let the Old Emperor loose, and what
an uproar he has made! The new platforms
which the Vallandigham Democrats built with
so much pains have been knocked into
splinters. Organizations have been scattered,
and the Northern leaders run about screaming
in the darkness, and breaking their necks try
ing to get out of the animals way. HIS path
is strewn with ruins, and before his rampage
is over he will probably have done the Demo-
cracy more mischief than they can repair IN
another four years.

Mace and Coburn, the prize-fghters, have
been dispOrting themselves away off in Kansas.
The first has shown himself the ruffian that
all knew him, while COburn has fully con-
firmed the opinion of Judge Bowling that he
was 81 great cOwardly loafer" If they re-
turn to New-York, will the Superintendent
OF Police do his plain duty, and Judge
Bowling keep his promise to punish these
heavy weight ruffans" as he punished Ed
wards and Collins. The latter culprits have
charged since their committal that in such
oflenses as prize-fghting there are de-
gTees of crime as in stealing, the
" light weights and the small pifererS
suffering severer punishment than the heavy
" bruisers" and the thieves of thousands.
There is certainly an idea abroad analogous
to this, and the belief prevails that Mace and
Coburn will find some mysterious protection
if they return here and that neither Police
nor Justice will annoy them. We do not
share this suspicion, but it is certainly wide
spread among the people nervous over their
safety from such characters and their demon
allied followers. 1t is, therefore, all the more
incumbent on the Police to make New-YOrk
uncOmfortably warm for these rufiians. We
shall watch anxiously TO see that this duty is
done

1t was stated by Mr.. Vance Smith, in speech in
Birmingham, that the revision of the Bible by
the Canterbury COnvocation of which MIR. Smith is
the only Unitarian member, while it will result in a
greatly improved version-changes, in fact, having
been made in almost every verse-will not read un-
like the existing translation, the old style having
been adhered to closely possible. ANY one
hearing it read,' Mr.. Smith said, would hardly
know that if was new version" This will be CRATE
full news to those whO from literary point of view
have doubted the expediency even good taste of a
substantially new translation; for it naturally
apprehended that wide devations from the standard
text might result in confusion. and in imparing the
value of existing Biblical literature.

were thereby repeated formally. He went in
despair to the Department of Foreign Affairs,
delivered his fatal dispatches, and was In

volyed. The alliance with England was
concluded soon afterward.
It is scarcely possible that any constltu-
tionaI government could have drifted into
such disastrous complications rs resulted In
this case from the cringing meanness OF one
despot and the brutal arrogance OF another.

government whose diplomacy is governed by
public opinion, it would have been Impossible
for him TO grOvel so low at the 1eet

TO have driven France into hostility by 40
savage and puerile an exhibition Oh

exaggerated Inscriptions of praise to Russian
diplomacy. The Tartar blood has rarely pro-
duced a statesman. The leading Russians are
Germans in blood and brains But no govern
ment could well have been constructed out OF
n regiment of COssacks which could have COM
mitted a blunder at once so vulgar and 30 inept
as that by which the West of Europe was
forced into alliance against the Russian
schemes on the Euxine.

The villains who secretly directed the terri
bic deeds of the Paris Communists have found
safety in flight to England They are old,
confirmed revolutionists of the worst French
xype, and are not in any proper sense political
refugees. They were guilty of most inhuman
crimes during the insurrection, and well de-
serve the halter; but John Bull will, of course,
Indignantly demur to giving them up. Per
maps when he learns that they are said to be
planning to burn half the Capitals OF Europe
and may be tempted in their depravity to gave
London to the flames, he viii be more ready
to deliver them up, or order them away.

Anti-Slavery Society, or the Union League
Club.
We say here no word against the Freema-
sons. The praise of their good deeds is in the
mouths of all men; if there are features OF
their organization to which some good citizens
have objected, the time is long past since these
were the topic of political dispute or any gen.
eral bitterness. But we are sure that the most
jealous Masons will agree with US in holding that
this ia an affair that can only be properly con-
Quoted by those fairly representing all the
people of the State. II is not work for any
benevolent organization, however venerable,
for any church, however holy, for any politi-
cal party, however pure, for any private asso-
citation whatsoever, however numerous and
honored. 1t is the work of the people OF the
State, through the officers holding the certifi-
cate and seal Of their election.

The good Mr. Emerson has met with something in
California which has made him mildly dubious of
one branch at least of his own philosophy. To a
friend who hoped that he was not disappointed by
the Yosemite Valley, he replied: No, no. it is the
only thing that quite comes up to the bragg Mr.
Emerson, we believe, once theoretically of the
opinion that man would not find anything abroad
which he might not have found at home, although
practically Mr.. f. has been given to what the old
lady in Dickens's novel called " meandering." But
the Yosemite we are obliged to believe is beautiful
enough to disturb any mild, stay-at-home conclu-
ionsis one of the few localities in the world worth
the trouble of journey to look upon.

When DIR. Livingstone gets home from-we do
not exactly know where-it is "25 days journey
south of Ujiji"he will find, we are told, not less
than seventeen decorations orders of nobility,
knighthood, &c. awaiting him-the honors awarded
by various European Governments to this plucky
and benevolent man. Whatever he may be author
lied to wear the outside of his coat he will carry
a stout heart within it worth all the rbands, red,
white, or blue, and all the jewels of whatever
water in the world. DIR. Livngstone's geographical
discoveries are brilliant enough to blind most OF us
to the moral purpose of enterprises having Tor their
main object the elevation of savage races.

sion for it is better to trust to the uncertain
charity of the world than to the still more
unc,rtain chances of the law. But this action
does rot wholly relieve the mineowners from

we shall conclude that the felony has indeed
been compounded.

The Bar-Iron Manufacturers of the Atlantic
States have acted judiciously in forming a
permanent association. The Iron and Steel
and Wooden trade organizations already eX-

fits on their respective industries. These
associations are also calculated to promote
harmony of action on the Tariff, and thus

The Coal Fields of Ohio.

A Straitsville, Perry county, Ohio, cor
respondent of the NA- York Tribune
writes
This trans6gured settlement, which Ian
guished for years as a country " -Four Cor
,,.-;-.- tha narfe- and ehiaf entrennt
Lpi q coal 1eeUat not aeeau productive aud
scarcely less extensive than thai of Penn
sylyania. The necessities Of the place have
been 50 great, and came upon US % sudden
ly, that new segment of our acres has be-
come prosperous as New Straitsville, ?
and the two towns are settling as fast as it
is possible to put planks together to pro-
tect the new eomers.
1t was vaguely known for years that coal
could be found in this vitinity, and, in fact,
through the entire section of country run
ming south and west for miles above and
below US. In laroe section the great coal
vein rises above the water level, and the
operation of mining is, of bOurse, less ex-
pensve and troublesome Since the fact of
the abundant richness of the coal vein has
been established, capital has been employed
lavishly, and railroads are building to con-
meet the mining region with Cleveland, To
ledo and the chief cities Of the state. 1t is
shown here by every new mine opened that
there is coal enough in the great vein TO
supply the entire Northwest for centuries.
New villages are laid out for the in-rushinp
thousands attracted here by the great dis
eovery, and soon we shall have mining
interest and iron product as great as any
other state in the Union The coal is re-
markably pure, and the best SO far discov-
cred for smelling purposes. Itproduces the
best gas az far as introduced, and for man.
ufacturing purposes equals any in the mar
ket. The mines produce not only coal, but,
in some districts, stratum of pure carbon
having the appearance of charcoal has been
unearthed.
The country has been formed, it would
seem, especially to facilitate coal mining.
Hills arise on every hand, and, Of course,
where the vein runs in a hill, the companies
are net at the expense of sinking dangerous
and costly shafts The coal lands are gen.
orally in the hands Of great companies
but so far the miners have gone to work
With entire satisfaction, untroubled by the
imbroglio in Pennsylvania. Wherever the
deposit has been tested, il is shown that
nowhere is the vein less than twenty one
inches in thickness. Coal can be mined
here, it is believed, cheaper and with less
exertion than anywhere else on the globe
not only on account Of the billy nature Of
the country, but of the favorable nature of
the soil and the ease of running roads to
the mines.
