New York the other day, upon the
charge of publishing an obscene news

Francis will probably adhere more

we have not been able to get the " or

the work satisfactory. Hence we have
remodcled the ma gazine in accordance
with our original plan, and shall
henceforth avail ourself of selections
from foreign books and periodicals.,
and present the cream Of the best
thought concerning the subjects treat

Elephantine and Tigerine.

H
Forepaugh's Menagerie is now exhibit
ing in Philadelphia, and from accounts
they have some i'll beasts to contend with.
Everybody has heard of that famous ele-
phant Romeo, the largest elephant in the
country, and who is continually keeping
himself before the public by his occasion
al i'll freaks He was on a rampage last
week again, and on "Wednesday he seized
his keeper, George Forepaugh, in an un-
specting moment, and flung him into the
air. The keeper fell senseless on rile
of blankets. Just as the elephant was
about to finish him, another man plung
ed pitchford into his side and diverted
his attention, 50 that Forcpaugh at length
got place of safety. Romeo has killed
five keepers at different times.
On the same day the beast trainer en-
tered the cage in which the lions and IT,
gers arc confined, and discovered that the
animals were not in a humor to undergo
the usual training, quickly drew a parti-
ton which separated him from all the
beasts buta youngtiger The keepers back
was at their time towards the animal, and
it made a spring and fastened upon him.
He called for help, but the persons about
the place were too much terrified to rem
der any assistance. Mr.. Forcpaugh at
that critical moment entered, aud by
catching hold of one the animals legs,
drew its attention from the trainer, and
he escaped, having received only few
bad scratches. In the excitement Great
cd among the animals by this scene, the
horned horse attacked the zebra, valued
at SO 600, and gored it in such manner
| that it died soon after.

The Inland Sea.

In the Great West, there is no more
interesting and faciuating locality than
that of Slat Lake, in Utah. 1ail
At the first glance, it seems to strange
to find sea, whose waters are even more
salt than the waters of the Atlantic or
Pacific, away up there, at an elevation of
nearly fve thousand feet, and eight hum
dred miles from the nearest sea coast pro-
per. But, when we know its history
which we now only suspect-it may not
seem unnatural, though still wonderful.
There is every indication that Lalt Lake
is mere remnant of what was once
mighty sea a .gsat aFi
1t appears to be gradually drying up.
We will not see the process completed in
our day, however, as it is a considerable
body of water, having length of one
hundred aud twenty miles, and an aver
age breadth of about forty miles. At
some points its depth is very great.
/ have stated that Salt Lake contains
greater proportion Of salt than the two
great oceans, which is an evidence that
evaporation has been one agent in reduc
ing a great ocean to the more modest di-
mensions of lake. Evaporation, crup-
tions and drainage have accomplished the
vast work. This amounts to little more
than speculation, at present, but in time,
science will prove it as clearly as the
boundaries of seas and continents are
marked as they exist to-day. -
Salt Lake bears all the marks of body
of water that is shrinking and drying up.
1t has great, smooth margin, at some
points many miles in width, that is one
vast plain of alkili, white as snow, and
baked aud crackey like the muddy bot
tom of the pond that has been licked dry
by the burning sun during summer
drought 4 rH'aii r". b,
Around Salt Lake, where the land rises
little higher, is one of the most fertile
regions on the continent. 1t is perfect
oasis, indeed for on the west stretch Out
barren plains hundreds of miles, and on
the east loom up rugged mountains, cap
ped with snow, and so rocky as to Offer
| but poor encouragement to tree or brush
! But the level lands, between the noun
tains and the lakes margin, are the para
disc Of the husbandmau, and Salt Lake
City is the nucleus of perfect garder
spot. The soil is wealth itself, and 1T
vegetation fairly rivals that of the tropics
in its richness and luxurianee. -s--g
Whatever may be its political destiny
the Salt Lake region has bright futur
before it as farming country; and witt
its beauty, its wild surroundings, 1T
facinating history, it is one of Heaven
richest gifts to man.

Gods Greetings.

God grects many one who never OBJ
serves it, and many more who never thank
him for it. When, for instance, his sun
wakes to the enjoyment OF another day OF
life and health, and when, at eyentide,
thine eyes close in peaceful slumber, it is
because God has bid thee "Good, night"
and when thou sittest down to a we'll
spread board with a good appetite, it is
Gods gift for thy good. When, again,
thou art enabled timely to discover some
threatened danger, what is it, but
God saying to thee, "Take heed my
child, and turn back before it is too late?'
When, on some early summer morning,
thou walkest about amid the blossoming
flowers and the singing birds, and thy
heart feels light aud joyful, is not God
saying to thee, Welcome, heartily wei
come, to my palace garden?' And when,
all of suddn, perhaps without thy know
ledge, or why, the heart is moved to good

row for having done wrong, and a desire
to do better, is not thy heaving father
aaying to thee, 80, grieve not my Holy
Spirit, which now stirs within thee p
Or when thou passest bya new-made
grave, aud sudden shuddcr of anxious
foreboding runs cold through thy frame,
is not God greeting thee with the iather-
| ly admonition, Remember now thy Grea'
tor in the days of thy youth, while the
evil DAYS come not, nor the years draw
NIGH in which thou shalt say L have nc
pleasure in them T; FOR there is neither
wisdom nor device in the grave, whittier

The Decatur (Ill.,) Magnet contains
On Tuesday evening, about dark, a
bright eyed girl of Is, handsome and ap-
pareutly intelligent, stopped at one of our
second. class hotels. She told the land
lord that she had but little money and
wished to stop with him a few days. The
good natured landlord told her that was
all right, that he would hold her trunk
as security for all deficiency in his regular
charges for his board
! Nothing more was said until this morn

wished to go to St. Louis, and asked,
with tears in her eyes, for her trunk and
the loan of So This the landlord re-
fused at the time to comply with, but
demanded about four dollars due him on

that her trunk contained vaiuables that
she could not dispose of in Decatur, and
promised him quick remittance as soon
as she arrived at St. Louis Everything
was arranged for her departure the $40
furnished her, but, as she was getting
upon the ST. Louis train, an officer from
Cairo, with documents in his pocket, laid
his hand upon her shoulder and said.
"You are arrested-my prisoner /" Be-
fore she could make things satisfactory to
the officer, the train left the depot with
the young lady in charge of the Cairo
officer.
She was broubht before one Of the
justices of the peace, her trunk broken
