"ROMEO,n the famous monster elephant
whose exploits have gone out through the
length and breadth Of the land, died in
Chicago recently. lie had been ailing for
several weeks, his disease being located in
the fore feet, which from some unknown
cause, had become affected with intlamma-
tion, resulting in acute pain and general
debiitation OF the system, the effect Of
which had been noticed by Il rapid waste
of flesh. An operation was performed upon
them few days previous, but the inhan-
nation continued to extend toward the
breast, resulting in his death, as stated.
His owner and trainer, Mr.. Forepaugh, to
whose mcnugeric he was attached, valued
him at fifty thousand dollars, and consider
ed him to DE the most intelligent elephant
in existence. "RomCon has an eventful
history, having killed five keepers since his
advent in America, besides destroying any
number OF fences, barns, garden patches,
cornlclds, orchards, &c. lie was purchas-
ed by an agent in CalcUtta, about twenty
five years ago, having been taken from
brick yard, where he was being used in
grinding clay. The price paid for him was
$4,000 in gold, and he was brought to
America along with nine others. His
weight when in full flesh, was 10, l53
pounds, and he stood II feet ,! inches
high. He was supposed, by competent
clephantinc chrOnolOgists to be about one
hundred years old. The body has been
donated by Mr.. F0rcpaugh to the Chicago
Medical College, where the mounted skelc-
ton and stuffed skin will be placed in the
anatomical museum.

NATURE OF PoyEEry.--We clip tho

In this connection, it is worth
while to look somewhat ut the ma
ture OF poverty, its origin, its relation,
to man and to society. 1t is usually
considered us II single outward cir
cumst;lnce the absence of worldly
goods !; but this want is mere inci-
dent in this condition-only one of
its manifestations. Poverty is an
inward principle, enrooted deeply
within the man, and running through
all his elements it reaches his BODY.
! his health, his intellect, and his NOR
al powers, as well as his estate. In
one OF other of these clements it NAV
predominant, and in that alone he
may seem to be poor /; but it usually
involves more than one of the ele-
ments, often the whole. Hence we
find that, among those whom the
world calls poor, there is less vital
force, lower tone of life, more i'll
health, more weakness, more early
death, a diminished longevity. There
are also less self-respect, ambition
and hope, more idiocy and insanity,
and more crime than among the in
dependent"

defect and disease among the poor, is
