A WHITE ELEPHANT IN AMERICA
Sir Boyle Roach, if living, would say,
that rara auis, white elephant, has
arrived in this country. These elephants
are more probably Albinoes, and are
very seldom seen, even in the East. In
Siam, where white elephant is m
Object OF worship, it can with difficulty
be procured. Upon the death Of the
last one. at Bangkok. after long search,
q beautiful cream colored Albino was
found for his successor. He was cap.
tured. Ona certain day he was brought
from the forest to be installed in his
palace with the customary white monkey,
to ward off evil spirits. There he was to
be worshipped as possessing the form
associated with the appearance on earth
OF Buddha. The people went out to
meet him with shouts and rejoicing, and
such waving of national banners. en-
blazoned with O white elephant on q
crimson ground, that was enough to
frighten Buddha himself. No sooner
was the honored beast within sight of the
town of Bangkok, and the motley and
noisy array of people, than he incon-
tinently turned around, broke easily from
his keepers, and made for his native
Jungle. Whether the distressed Siamcse
sH ever oanght him again we never heard.
Ihe white elephant, now at Chattanooga.
tennessee, is. we believe, the only one
that has ever arrived in this country.

DISSATISFACTION IN GER

While France is being drained Of
It's millions and is nevertheless set
thing down quietly to the arts Of
peace, matters in Germany do not
look promising. The country, over
gorged with the money extorted at
the point ofthe bayonet, seems likely
to profit none but the royal treasury,
the creatures of the court and the
harpies of the army and the vultures
OF speculation. The extreme pros
perlty which the influx of so much
money would seem to confer on all
classes is in reality limited to favor

men do not suffice to pay the increas-
ed cost OF the necessaries Of life, and
the small shop-keepers are unable
to pay the increased rent demanded
OF them. All the German newspa-
pers which are not suborned to stife
the truth concur in saying that
large proportion Of the inhabitants
of Berlin are in danger Of becoming
houseless, and the evil is daily grow
ing worse and worse. The proprie-
tors have insmany cases doubled or
even tripled their rent, and their I'M
fortunate tenants have no option but
to go into the streets, for pay they
cannot. It would be curious if the
Commune in another form were to
show its head in Berlin so soon after
being stiAed in Paris. Be this as il
may, the constantly recurring and
increasing number Of strikes among
the working classes proves the exist
ence of an unrest and dissatisfaction
at the present state of things, of
which statesmen will do well to take
notice. Berlin Letter.

AN EDUCATIONAL Access
SION.

The friends ofLawrence Universe
ty will be glad to learn that that In
stitution has secured the valuable
services of Prof. James H. Norman,
the learned German author and edu-
Gator. Prof. Norman, though yet
young man, is well known to the
learned world, as the author of the
series of standard French and Ger
man text books bearing his name,
and as the author Of several import
ant works now in press. He was
formerly connected with Drew Theo-
logical Seminary, and is now the
principal Editor, we believe, of Nc
Clintock & Strong's Cyclopedia of
Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesias
cal Literature, to which work he has
made valuable contributions. In
Lawrence University Mr.. NORMAN
will at present fill the position Of
nonresident Professor of Modern
History and Language. He will be
at the University during the Spring
term Of the Collegiate year. The
friends Of the higher education in
Wisconsin have reason to congratu-
late themselves upon this accession
to their ranks, and, in their behalf,
we venture to heartily welcome Prof.
Norman to the warm Inequalities of
the community into which he will en-

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
HAVEDONE.

But we did not suppose the De-
mocracy could be won into love by
calling them gamblers, lewd, drunk
en- and debauched wretches nor that
they had so much Of the spaniel as to
lap the hand that smote them.
Yet they have done it. The
thorn tree has produced it's crop of
cotton balls, the thistle is loaded
down with figs. The Democrats
have taken a nettle for a nosegay,
and sprig Of the ''stink weed'' for
a boquet. The men whom he calls
in so many words "lewd, rufianly,
criminal and dangerous classes, ''now
come to him and ask him to be their
representative. And Horace quietly
acquiesces, saying in effect, "Well,
[ know you are scurvy set whom I
have for thirty years been telling the
truth about. denouncing you as all
that is vile and detestabIe in politics;
and [ am no less Republican than I
ever have been, and you are no less
Democrats, and all [ have said about
you and against you is true. But
you want to get into power, you can
not elect Democrat, you want office
and SO do [, and seeing that you can
not vote yourselves into power with
out trick, and [ can never get the
endorsem ent of my party, why elect
me, and we will divide the spoils
and the honor. Alta Californian.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM A
TERRIBLE DEATH.

MI. Alya Crofoot, who resides in
the town of Fond du Lac, had mar
now escape from terrible death a
few evenings since. While sitting
in his room he noticed that a bull
had found its way to the door yard.
Mr.. 6. went out to drive the animal
away. When near him the bull
suddenly lunged at Mr.. Crofoot and
threw him to the ground. The ami
NAL then made dive for the helpless
man, but fortunately horn struck
on each side Of him. Even this was
very painful, having resulted in
breaking Mr.. Crofoot's shoulder
blade. While In this helpless con-
dition, the man yelled at the animal
in the hopes of soaring him away,
but instead Of having the desired eff
feet. the infatuated beast loosed his
first hold and made second lunge !;
this time the horn struck Mr.. C.'s
watch, causing it to glance off AMI
strike the ground. The watch, with
out doubt, saved the mans life. The
next move of the animal was to toss
its victim into the air. Crofoot
struck on his feet and coolly walked
away. The next day that animal
took up his line Of march to the
bone yard. Fond du Lac Common

The Philadelphia North American
has something to say about this ''mil-
itary despotism'' the Greeleyites are
talking about. It reminds us that
our army consists Of a force Of 35, 900
men, about the number Of an ordina-
ry corps in active service, scattered
over an area Of 100000 square
miles, about one man to every thou
sand square miles. Now these troops
are not the only force of armed men
in the country. There is the armed
and disciplined militia of the states,
which are under the sole command
Of the Governors of their respective
states. The Governor of Masschu-
setts to-day has larger force at his
command than any officer of the
United States army, having now
about 5000 men and twenty guns
under his orders. If it is true, IN
spite of the facts, that the country is
groaning under the iron heel of mil
itary despotism, what a heel that one
soldier must have to cover thous-
and square miles, and how big is his
body?

A writer in the O0nStitatiOneZ,

A writer in the Constitutional, in
discussing the public health Of Eu-
rope, draws attention to ''the dangers
of pure water" His theory is that
the purest water-or what appears
so-frequently contains thousands
of germs Of all sorts, only visible
through the microscope, and proba-
bly, germs or eggs still more minute,
which develop themselves in the hui
man body, producing morbid affec-
tons, isolated maladies, and even ep-
idemics. The mode of overcoming
these dangers, he says, is by boiling
the water, by which all perniciou3
germs are destroyed. He therefore
recommends the use of tea and cof-
fee, although he says that wine and
even stronger liquors are good as
alcohol destroys those germ Ut 'swa-
er so dangerous to health.

Prince Bismarck has paper mill
on his estate at Varzin, which is SO
successful that it is impossible to
meet the large orders which come
from England. This paper is made
of chips of fr-that, at least, is the
chief elements-and the annual
consumption Of fir trees is at the rate
Of 600 klafter to keep the manufactu-
~ supplied. A new workshop is
now being erected which will require
no fewer than 1900 klafter Of wood
q year. The fir forests in the vlcin-
ity, which it has been found necessa-
rY to acquire, will furnish ample
supplies for several years Of the raw
material for Prince Bismarck's paper
mill. A klafter is pile of wood six
rheinfuss long, three wide, and six
high, making 108 cubic rheinfuss,
or something less than an American
cord.

The Detroit Post says with en-
phasis that Jimmy Doolittle never
had much of a reputation for strict
veracity-at least not within the
last six years. He will not, perhaps,
himself invent lies for Jimmy never
was an inventive genius, and he isn't
smart enough to get up anything
new. But he will retail more unc-
tuously than any other dsmagogue
we know of, the dirtiest, nastiest,
meanest little ISLANDERS and falsehoods,
invented by somebody else.''

The charges Of mismanagement

The charges of mismanagement
against physicians and attendants
connected with BIoomingdale Asy-
lum have caused thorough investiga-
ton to be made by the Board of Gov-
errors Of New York Hospital. They
state that the charges made are with
out foundation. Drs. Brown, Porter
and Burrill being considered consci-
entious and faithful men. On the
other hand, the charges are repeated
byseveral persons, who claim to have
been unjustly detained there and for
hidden to communicate with their
friends. Application will probably
be made to Governor Hoffman to or
der full investigation, and compel
the managers to allow the visits Of
citizens.

The German manufacturers do
things handsomely when they set

persons to build houses, 10000 for

10000 forms as capital and $500
annual addition for establishing a
manufacturing school, and 10000
to pay for the tuition Of working
mems children for the next ten years.
AS though this were not enough to
remember the jubilee, he gave each
operative ,twenty-mark gold piece,
and they went home rejoicing.

RAILRoAD CELEBRATION The people
Of West Union are in ecstacics over the
long hoped for and well nigh despaired of
advent of the iron horse to their bcauti-
full and flourshing city. The event is
thus described by the Union.
The track layers reached the depot
foundation at O'clock f. NJ, on Mon
day last, and Il half an hour later, train
of cars rolled up to the depot, and was
welcomed by the joyous shouts of hun
dreds Of our citizens, young and old, male
and female, whe during the day, had been
watching it's slow but sure progress to
the north end of Vine street. An mex
pressiblc joy lit up the countenances Of
some of our Oldest citizens as they wit
messed the realization oftheir many years
of earnest toll and deferred hope.
To give further vent to their jubilant
feelings, the citizens of West Union have
made arrangements for grand railroad
celebration, to come off to-mor-
row, including free ride to everybody
and the rest of mankind over the new
road, to Clermont We congratulate the
West Unionists upon this suspicious oc-
casion and especially our friend McClin-
took of the Union, on the opportunity to
bring out his big gun, which in the alb
sence of Democratic victories to celebrate
this fall, would otherwise have rusted in
idleness

GREELEYIsM IN HAZLEToN-We are
informed by one of our Hazleton friends
that couple of legal gentlemen of this
city, a Liberal and Democrat, went to
Hazleton a few evenings since to hold a
Greeley meeting. BY aid of Republicans
they had fair audience, and spoke their
pieces, the Democrat certainly to his own
satifaction and the Liberal, judging from
indications, with no great amount of
comfort to himself or the audience. So
far good, but they went on to commit the
objectionable blunder of attempting to
organize Greeley Club, when it was
found that there was not enough of the
proper material present to fill the offices.
and they desisted. The Republicans
present were intensely ticklcd and were
all ready to raise the roof with their
cheers for GIANT, but in pity they desist-
ed, also. Horace and his little Ratchet
are at discount in that precinct.

How THEY ARE WoRKING.-A truthful
and reliable citizen Of Winneshiek coun.
ty, in a private letter to friend in this
city, says:
"The most desperate men I ever saw
are the Stoneman men. He has been
here all the week. They plead, they
beg, they whine for votes. Everything
else is put aside; they are willing to sac
riiice everything, Greeley and all, for
Stoneman."
This but talies with former reports
concerning the confederate canvass in
this district The Congressman is all
that the Democracy care fig about, and
to secure the success of Stoneman, they
will scruple at nothing In his own
county, Republicans are appealed to, to
support him on the local issue, and in
other portions of the district every fair
and unfair means are being reserted to-
Among the latter, wholesale depreciation
Of the character and ability of his COM
petitor. and bargaining Of all kinds. are
prominent.
