Cosr OF ARnlNocERos.- IA rhinosceros
was lately added TO menagerie noWSn
Cincinnati. Itwas imported direct from
sumatra. The price paid for the animal
was $4,000 in gold, on board Of the
vessel, the purchaser assuming all risks
OF landing and OF transportation. TAX
ing twelve per cent. as the average value
OF gold, Il would bring the cost Of the
animal to s11, 200 in New York. Add to
this the cost Of transportation, feeding,
&C., 10 Cincinnati, say $3.50, and the
total cost Of the animal would be S11, $50.
This rhinoceros is the only one Of the
kind ever imported to America, II Is
called by the MalAys the +" Badak TApa,''
or Recluse Rhinoceros. So called be.
cause he is not gregarious, like his African
congeners, but is generally found alone.
II Is also sometimes termed the "Mud
Wallower,' - from the fact Of its wallowing
in marshy places, and covering its hide
with thick incrustahon Of mud. This
Is done to avoid the torture OF mosquitoes
and other mordant insects, which cluster
about the tender places, and drive the
animal, thick.skinned though II may be,
half mad with their constant and painful
bites.

CARELESS Amour Ir.-It is astonishing
how culpably careless people hre about
their wills, and what trouble they thus
entail upon survivors Some years ago
Lord Henry Seymour, brother Of the
late Marquis Of Hertford, died in Paris,
leaving his property, which amounted
TO 5000 year, to the iospiees Of
London and Paris. Lord Henry, al
though legally the sou OF an English
peer, and resident in Paris, had never
been in England, and thus, no doubt,
came to. employ n French expression in
making his will. The word led TO dis.
pute among various institutions in Eng
land, and much money was wasted at
law before satisfactory arrangement
was arrived at, Lately, n Mr. Briscoe,
who had, for about forty years, been a
Magistrate and member OF Parliament,
and might, therefore, be presumed 10
know something OF business, or Mt all
events to employ some one about his will
who did, left a legacy to "The Victoria
Hospital" No sooner did this fact come
to light than two claimants were prompt.
" in the field, viz: The city OF London
Hospital, in Victoria Park, Of which Mr..
Briscoe had for twenty years been a sup.
porter, and the Victoria Hospital for sick
children, to which he had not contri.
buted. The Court Of Chancery decided
in favor OF tile institution in which lie
had so long evinced m interest.

Elegant weddings.

There are elegant weddings transpirinp
every night in New York. The other
evening the most brilliant oi the season
was consumated. Ten thousand dollars
were expended for flowers alone.
A very large room in the house was sci
with tank, tho size of the apartment,
which wasfilled with water to represent &
lake. Shrubs and choice eIotics bOrdered
TITLES foated upon 1t, and tiny boats
fashioned Of flowers, were Adrif' upon the
tide. Every door was removed from the
interior of the house, and garlands oil
roses, with trailing vines supplied their
places. Even sets Of chairs and sofas
useless, Of course) were fashioned of ca.
melias, and the floor was deeply strewn
with choice floral carpeting. Within an
arbor, constructed Of orange blossoms, a
figure in white velvet gave her heart, OF
It's counterfeit to another figure in full
dress. Perhaps the two will find sufficient
bliss in the thought of their wedding ia
last them couple Of years. But I'm
thinking, people in these times who will
throw away so much for an hours tri.
umph of mere display, will find their boa,
wreck before life together Is half crossed,
There are not enough of the dear old
fashioned weddings now days. The
necessary aim of the young man Is first
rich, then marry. Is the word helpmeei

A CURIOUS ARTICLE or TRlDE.-There
Is actually considerable commerce in
toads between France and England. A
toad Of good size and in good condition
will fetch shilling twenty-five centsl
in the London market, and dozen Of
extra quality nre worth e1 .ls6). You
may see these imported tcads in all the
market gardens where the soil Is moist,
and the owners Of these gardens even
prepare shelter for them. They pay
their way by catching insects.

A SINGULAR CAsg.-Captain Elisha
Freeman wns granted divorce from his
wife, Charlotte A. Freeman, in San
francisco, on the ground Of fraud in pro-
curing the marriage. Freeman alleges
that previous to his marriage he was in
sane on the subject Of spiritualism and
believed that he nayigated his ship under
direction OF the spirit Of IN old Spanish
pirate. He visited the defendant, after
wards his wife, who claimed to be q
clairyoyant and medium, TO consult her
as to whether the spirits were genuine
ornot. She assured him they were gem

he would see at the foot Of his bed the
women he must marry. He saw at tile
time and place predicted, the medium
herself, and under the direction Of the
spirits, interpreted through her, they
wero married, much against his will. On
this showing n divorce was granted.

TLcuMsEH. --"wbo killed Tecumsel?"
This Is one Of those questions which
will probably never be satisfactorily an.
swered and perhaps IL is not Of much
consequence whether II Is answered or
mot. Gen. Sandenon, an ancient war.
rior, who died recently at Lancaster,
Ohio, and who participated in those old
wars, has left certain "reminiscences. He
was in the battle in which the celebra.
ted Indian was demolished, and he says
he doesn't know whether Col. johnson
killed Tecumseh or not, so great was the
smoke, noise and confusion. One thing,
however, he states decidedly-the troops
skinned Tecumseh II they didn't kill
him. He saw them III the very act OF
ilaying the defunct chief. His cuticle
came of in strips Of about half a
foot in length and an inch and half in
width the said akin stretching like
india.rubber, after II had been dried.
While the Aaying was going on, the In
dian prisoners stood by and howled in
affectionate anguish. The body, In the
opinion Of Gen. Sauderson, was eaten
by wolves What was done with the
dried strips Of skin the General did not
state-pefhaps they were converted into
belts or powder.pouches for the hunters.
