Death Of the Elephant EROmeO."

Teh performing elephant "Romeo,' y
the largest and most valuable Of his
species ever brought to this country,
and more famous than any who have
gone before him, died IN Chicago Fri
| day, from a disease of the fore feet
which, from some unknown cause, had
become affected with inflammation. re.
sulting in acute pain and a general
debllitation of the system, the effect of
which had been noticed by rapid
wasting of flesh during the last four
weeks. An operation had been per-
formed without accomplishing any good,
and Friday, with few convulsive strug-
giles, life passed away, and great heap
of inanimate flesh was all that remained
OF Romeo. During his last moments
the employees of the menagere gath
cred in sorrowful groups around the i'm
mense bed-ridden invalid, and watched
his first diminishing struggles against
the enemy of all flesh, for though the
old fellow was IN the habit of getting
out of humer every once in a while,
and of sending his keeper to his ac-
count, still he was respected for his size
and admired for his intelligence.
Romeo was about 100 years old, and
was bought by an agent of J, Mabie in
Calcutta, about quarter of century
ago, for $4,000 in gold. At the time
he was bought he was engaged in
turning mill for the grinding of clay
He was bought at auction by Mr. Fore
paugh for the sum of $4,000 His
weight was 10000 pounds, and his
height fraction over IL feet.
Sincee he has been in this country
he he has killed five keepers, and has
at various times allowed his passions 10
get the better of his Judgment, when
his immense power enabled him to
break through all ordinary restraints,
such as fences, barns and houses, and
in the capacity of an enraged mammoth,
has walked the streets of Chicago and
Philadelphia, none daring to modest
him or ask him for his street tax.
Mr.. Forepaugh has given the body
to DIR. Boyd of Chicago Medical Col
lege, who will dissect him and mount
the skeleton and stuffed skin in that
institution.

Death Of Hrs. Horace Greeley.

The wife of Mr.. Horace Greeley
died in New York city Wednesday
morning, Oct. 80, at the residence OF
Mr.. Alvin J. johnson. The imme'
date cause of death was a very severe
attack of lung disease, a complaint
which had caused her much contin-
ued suffering for nearly twenty years.
Mrs. Greeley's maiden name was
Mary Young Cheney, and she was
born at Litchfield, Connecticut, in
the year 1914. Enjoying unusual
educational advantages, Miss Cheney
became a school teacher of rare abili-
ties. Becoming an ardent believer
in the hygienic teachings of DR.. Ora
ham, the famous dietist she frequent
ed the Graham House Hotel, in this
city, and there made the acquaintance
of her future husband. In the be-
ginning of 1886 she accepted an en-
gagement as teacher in Warrenton,
N. c., and married MI. Greeley at
that place in July of the same year.
During her last illness Mrs. Greeley
was attended by Mr.. Greeley and her
two daughters, Misses Ida and Ga
brielle. From the first il was feared
the attack would have q fatal tenden-
cy, and her death was anticipated this
week as inevitable, so that her friends
were fully resigned to the worst. The
funeral took place in DR.. Chapin's
Church yesterday, at the hour of
noon, and was quite private. The
body was conveyed TO Greenwood
and buried there in the modest vault
which belongs to the family.-NeW

Chinese Cheap Labor.

lowing example OF Chinese industry
and success: Two ears ago anumber
of Chinese arrived at our wharf, and
were objects of great curiosity. Some
of these men settled near here, and
among them a small colony foundhomes
and cotton-picking in the neighborhood
of Marion, Arkansas, some nine or ten
miles from this city. Among them was
All Maun, who proved to be a Chinese
of education, gathered up some knowl-
edge rapidly, became popular, and was
called by the country people John Or
mond. He set TO work at onee. The
first day his cotton picking amounted to
twenty = two pounds. The negroes
laughed at the small specimen with the
pig tail under his hat. In one year not
a negro on the plantation could bring as
much cotton TO the gin house as All
Maun. All Msun took his triumph qui-
city, and kept his popularity. Last
spring he and six of his fellow country
men rented a piece of ground near
Marion. Twenty acres they put in corn,
and forty in cotton. Seven times was
the ground plowed over, until it was
in complete order for q crop. Every bit
of grass was oblitered, every weed ex-
terminated, every fence corner made
clean. The five men had appointed All
Maun "boss," and All Maun allowed nc

such a word as fail, but they knew NJ
