the capital, but Of the State, and forget
ting alike their prejudices and their per-
sonal preferences, declare for the public
good, we feel that the present contest
will end in final settlement of the only
basis upon which the railroad system in
Virginia can be truly successful and inure
to the benefit of the State and people
and that will be unrestricted lines North
and South, as well as East and West.
Grant to the nine gentlemen headed by
Mr. Ellyson, whose Virginiahsm is "with-
out guile" the privilege they seek of buy
ing the State stock, and the finishing
stroke to this grand system will have been
given. With the control Of the Richmond
and Petersburg read in their hands, we
shall have free and unrestricted thorough
fares to and from our city in every direc-
tion, and thus blessed we shall deserve
failure if our own industry and energy do
not achieve success.

A Asubterranean Pond Containing Eye
less Fish In Pennsylvania.

1t is we'll known that great trouble and
expense have been caused by the sinking
of portion of the track of the new JEFF
ierson railroad where it crosses swamp in
Ararat township, in Montrose county. 1t
has been found that under the swamp is a
subterranean pond, of several acres in ex-
tent and Of considerable depth. This pond
is covered by about six feet in depth of
black earth, which supports heavy growth
Of woods. The trees are mostly soft maple,
pine, hemlock and birch. many of them
ranging from six inches to three feet in dia-
meter. Last fall it was discovered that
this subterranean pond contains many fish,
of the kind usually found in pounds in
this part of the country-pickerel and
"shiners" among others-but all without
eyesl la the darkness of their subter-
ranean abode, they have no use for the or
gan of vision. The Ball Pond, about mile
and half distant, is now ''growing over"
A considerable part of it has become sub
terranean within the last twenty years, and,
probably, before many years it will be en-
tirely covered like the other. This pond
is about twenty acres in extent. For some
distance from the shore it is filled with a
dense growth Of water-lilies, and these, no
doabt, furnish the foundation on which the
superstructure of earth is commenced.

Parisian Pistures-The Geological
Gardens.

A Paris correspondent Of the New York
Times in recent letter, gives the follow
ing account of the condition of the animals
in the Geological Gardens, after going
through the siege:
According to M. Theophile Gautier the
lions and tigers, especially the bears, in the
Garden des Plantes, show little signs of
having greatly suffered. The lions when
first offered the refuse meat for their repast,
showed great disgust, but grew gradually
accustomed to it and took it philosophi-
cally. A lioness aud jaguar died of con-
sumption, doubtless from cold and too
dainty palate.
The monkeys suffered more than any
other of the animals-large numbers of
them died OF galloping consumption
while the birds and serpents are still -four
ishing, and unconscious of the dangers
they have escaped from-famine and bonn
bardment. The elephants have had their
easy tempers quite soured by adversely,
and M. Gautier says that while he was
making his tour he was attracted toward
them by the resistance of the largest to his
carnac, who wanted to make him go in,
while the two others he found offered the
most singular aspect. They are greatly
diminished, and their skeletons seemed to
float about in skin much too large for
them. This skin ,grisly and cracked like dry
clay, formed deep folds at the joints like an
ill-fitting garment. Long wrinkles fur
rowed their thighs, and their thick mem
braneous ears fell on either side of their
bald craniums like blackened, ragged flags.
Their trunks, like gigantic leeches, and
their tails, reminding me of the queues of
the old hussars and postillions, they kept
in continued movement. They had vainly
stretched out their flexible probosces to the
public, and disappointed, they turned their
backs with an air of irritation. These
manifestations did not even suffice them /;
they began to howl with fury.
Nothing can be imagined more strange,
more lugubrious, more formidable than
this cry of the elephant. When it is heard
for the first time, it fills the bravest hearts
with stupor. At first it is impossible to
imagine whether it comes from heaven or
hell, thunder or subterraneous growing.
On this occasion their fierce, hoarse music
terrified the rhinoceros, who turned tail
and fled in dismay to the inner recesses of
his abode. And all that for few mouthfuls
of bread, more or less ! The poor brutes
could not appreciate with US, that we were
starving for the honor of France
