SINGULAR ATTACHMENT.

From the Baltimore 0SZette, sept. "a.
The drove of elephants on exhibition at
Bsruum's Great Show evince a remarkable
attachment, amounting even to fondness,
for a St. Bernard dog, who, by bis constant
presence among them. seems to reciprocate
and appreciate their attentions. Elephants
are known to possess wonderful sagacity
and remarkable intelligence, both of which
traits have an apt illustration in the present
case. The dog has taken up bis quarters
permanently among them, and when going
into the ring he follows the huge beasts
closely. Any attemps to remove him is
savagely resented by his gigantic cham
pions. Mr.. Thomas, the enterprising press
agent of the company, gave private
exhibition yesterday before several gem
tlemen, illustrating the friendship
shown by the elephants to their
shaggy pet. All of tie elephants had their
heads in the direction of the ing, the dog
being behind them, when one of the em-
ployes of the company twisted the collar
of the dog, causing him to yelp out with
pain. Instantly, and with more sgility than
the clumsy beasts are generally credited
with possessing, the elephants all turned
and, uttering their peculiar and startling
cries, rushed to the rescue OF their compan-
ion. The largest of the elephants, whose
chain prevented him from reaching the dog,
made an effort to break it, and uttered loud
cries of distress. The keeper tt en- loosened
the dog, who at once received the congratu-
lations of the kings of the forest, esch OF
whom patted the dog on the head with their
trunks, and caressed h,m as affectionately
as it is possible foc an elephant to do. The
dog, after receiving their coDgratulaticns,
curled himself up suugiy among them, and
the elephants, seemingly satisfied with their
triumphant rescue of their friend, resumed
their favorite psstime Of eating gingerb cad !,
peanuts ETC., from the hands Of the crowd.

THE SHEEP AS A RENOVATOR.

A correspondent of the Southern Farm
and Home Journal gives his experience
with the "animsl with the golden fleece"
which will be found interesting by the read
ers Of this paper:

home dead-broke, with nothing but a small
worn ont farm, my own labor, and the help
of half-grown son, determined TO buy a
few sheep with the first money l could
spare, and try what they would do for me.
l bought in the Fall of one year for $40,
ten two.year-old ewes that were in lamb.
l put them in 8 small field close TO my
house, that was full of briars and weeds
and that would have had TO be tickled
nightly TO make it produce eight bushels

COOKE AND OLEWES.


1t is significant that, after the failure of
Jay Cooke & Co., the United States Ma
tional Fund should be transferred to house
so poorly esteemed amongst substantial
bankers as Henry Clewes. The Naval Fund
In the first instance, was given to Jay
Cooke & Co. By an intrigue, in which two
women in public life were actresses. 1t is
the President himself who now deposits it
in a smaller hole with Clewes. 1t has been
greatly to the injury of Jay Cooke & Co.
that, in manipulating the-loans of the Gov
ernment, and securing funds such as the
above, they have shown a need of money
which must weaken them ct last, and q
steady necessity and willingness to make
the public treasury q place of accommoda-
ton. The Governments own financial
condition has been obscured by the activity
and frequency of syndicates, and Wall
street has danced upon that suspicion.
When the London Tines, therefore remarks
that the prosperity Of America would indi-
cate that the present failures are merely
efforts to shake off the dishonest element,
it points with directness TO this house, which
has bteu indicated in the Times by its Anne
ricsn correspondent-one who has relations
with the next house up the street.
There is some doubt whether Jay Cooke
ever accumulated any degree of wealth.
The size of bis partnership, which at one
time included fifteen people, would indicate
numbers to make out capital. He lived
plain life in big house, neither tasting
wine nor tobacco; he worked hard, for it
required his personal magnetism to push on
MS bonds, and they have been coming back
to his presence for good while, pressing
for redemption; he was in many respects
kind hearted and with sincere democrat
ic nature, aud he believed whatever be
was doing to be great work. But he is
the victim of belief that the war can
be fought over again indefinitely, with loans,
bonds, Pacific railways and all the profit
gaey of that period in which he was a hero.
he is the preacher and lesson of the hour.
They who would climb higher must 90

CLOVER ON OLD LANDS.

The Dyersburg Progress has q notable
item about the value of clover on old land.
1t says: "The following, which we take
from letter from DR.. A. harris, OF New
bern, in this county, viii show one reason
why our county is filing up with emigrsnts:
Il was shown large field of corn yester-
day, belonging to my neighbor, Mr.. 81. L.
Fowlkes, that he said to ne had never
been plowed but one time after planting,
and what will astonish the reader Is, this
field of corn will not make less than forty
or fifty bushels per acre on an average.
This field TO my knowledge has been
cleared and in cultivation not less than
thirty years. 1t has been well covered and
was well prepared for the crops before plant
ed, broke twice and well narrowed, which
Is the great secret in making corn. Guilt
vate your crop before planting. Can any
body's county or land beat this making
corn?'"

The Secretary of the Treasury did moi

his: Upon the subsistence of the present

have
First--A market glutted with gold and
legal-tenders.
Second--A treasury pouring both sold

powerless either to withdraw its coin or

The banks of this city are making gal

little assistance, while be has dore serious
injury to the great institution of which he

trives some plan for the relief of the help

THE STORY OF WALL STREET.


The situation, in so far as it relates to
Wall street, is sptly illustrated by familiar
story. A gentleman once owned a monkey
and parrot. The distinguishing trait of the
former was mischief; of the latter, profani-
ty. Both occupied the same apartment,
but, that there might be peace in the family
the qusdruped was usually tied. One night,
however he obtained his freedom, and on
the following morning, when the master en-
tered the room to look after his pets, the
scene which met his eyes reminded him of a
small battle field. Things were broken,
scattered and generally demorslized. The
bird cage was over turned and empty, and
crockery and feathers we're strewed on the
floor. The Mickey was sitting on top of the
wardrobe, with one eye dilsted, and bis gen.
eral-disconsolate appearance indicating that
he might have gone through first c'ass pu-
gilistic encounter. The parrot was not to
to be seen, but bis feathers were everywhere.
The owner took in the situation at glance,
and, calling for "Pol,"was astonished to see
q denuded bird, naked as the day be emery
ed from his shell, not even pin feather in
place, stalk out from dark corner and ex-
claim, in not very enthusiastic mann er,
"Oh, oh, oh! we've had ID of time, you
betl" The bulls and bears on Change have
been il similar row.

Yield from Il bushels seed per acre, sown

Sown with drill eight inches apart and
two inches deep. Land in 1912 broke
twice-all narrowed before drilling, and all
for ten years sown in September, and all
but twice before Sept. 25.
The above shows an average Of some
thing over six bushels per acre in favor of
the drill, or about So per acre. am firm
ly persuaded that, were two bushels sown
per acre, the average would still be better,
and would pay. l am going 10 t,y two
bushels this year on fifteen acres, along
with one and third bushels on thirty-two
acres, and mark the result, If farmers
could break their land twice, am sure 1t
would pay; indeed, I think the better order
land can be placed in, the better it win pay
American farmers desire to farm more land
than they can till well, because it is FASH
ionable ami looks grand. It is to be hoped
that as we grow older we will grow wiser.

gent readers give their experience In wheat
