CARLO SEES THE ELEPHANT.
From the Springfield (O.) Republic. ]

EOEu tu0 CpiluSuClo VIZ iOpuDAlC.J
The elephant Conqueror, passing along in
the Great Eastern procession, in front of the
Republic building, attracted the attention Of a
ferocious, fair-sized dog, which in the heat Of
excitement and impulse and probably largely
from the force of habit, rushed towards his
majesty Started to rush-to tell the exact
truth The dog was very fierce. Evidently
he was about to take in the spiked caudal
appendage of the monster and draw
his attention to minor de-tail-so
to speak-in his rear. But, as
he was fairly on his way, the magnitude of the
most ponderous undertaking seemed to strike
him all at once and the growl and bark in his
hot throat were gulped down in an instant,
almost causing strangulation, and the animal
shot back into Primrose alley with the rapidity
of thought, and such an expression OF aston
ishment and fear upon his countenance as
never before sat on the facial features of a
dog. He was surprised and discounted
ouadruped, and he intimated as plainly as a
dog could, to our reporter, that he was only
about to cross the street to see another dog, or
something of that sort, when the elephant got
in his way. But the reporter was not deceived.
The pretence was too transparent

THE OPENING OF THE ST. JAMES
HOTEL.

This hotel, situated on Magazine, between
Gravier and Natchez streets, having been
lying idle for long period, has been leased
for term of years by that thrifty and ener
getic firm of r. E. Rivers & Co., proprietors
of the st. Charles Hotel. These gentlemen
have had experience in the hotel business for
number of years and by their courteous and
affable manners and strict attention to the
wants OF their guets have won for themselves
the entire confidence OF the strayeling and
local public.
The manager, James P. Lonely, an old
Texas ranger and we'll known to the Lone
Star State, will have exclusive charge OF the
working of the establishment.
He has been connected for several years
with the hotel business as manager, and has
won for himself host of friends who will
doubtless be glad to learn that he has now
charge of the st. James.
The clerks-AIr. James Leak, book-keeper,
and Mr.. Krogman, cashier = are both old
favorites, and by their politeness and
courtesies from behind the desk have gained
for themselves high regulations.
The hotel has been thoroughly renovated
and painted from top to bottom and furnished
with all the modern improvements, and the
floors are covered with rich carpets purchased
| from the mammoth store of A. L. Stewart u
Co., of New York.
| The bedrooms, which are large and airy,
are furnished with walnut sets of the latest
| STYLES, from the store of Messrs. Brewster Il
| McCracken, whose reputation stands second
| to none in their line OF business.
The parlor is well arranged and furnished
with Crossler's velvet and rosewood furniture,
also one of knabe's pianos and handsome
mirrors
The dining room is large and spacious, and
capable OF seating $50 persous : is in charge
of George Anewine, who has been a steward
for many years. He is assisted by corps Of
competent walters.
The kitchen, being one of the most import
ant parts of a hotel, has not been forgotten
1t is large and convenient, and everything per-
tanning to it is as bright as new pin, and
has the facilities for cooking for 1000 persons,
and is presided over by the renowned John
Henry, hotel cook for 20 years, assisted by
full corps.
Michael Powers the head porter, will han
die the baggage and check it to all parts of
the United States. His career in the hotel
business for many years has made him very
popular.
This cararansarie cannot help being in
viting to the travelling community, as there is
not one thing pertaining to tirst-class estab-
lishment that is not supplied in the ST. James,
! SO that the wishes of the most fastidious can
! be easily attended to. The house in all of its
appointments has been arranged and furnished
with exquisite taste, as only an experienced
head could direct.

A Supposed Corpse Revivifed after Lying Ice

A Supposed Corpse Reviyifed after Lying ON Ice
for Three Days.
New York Herald, Nov. III
A most remarkable instance of a supposed
corpse having been found to possess signs of
animation, and really being restored to life
after lying on ice tor three days, has just
transpirei at Yonkers Westchester county,
N. Y. 1t appears that seven-year-old child
of a machinist named Miller, living on River
dale avenue, in the city above mentioned,
having been in delicate health almost from the
time of its birth, was attacked by an unusually
severe fit of illness last Thursday morning.
A physician was called in, and he, after APP
parently satisfying himself as to the course of
treatment to be adopted, prescribed tor the
little one, and on leaving intimated that he
would call again in the afternoon. 1t is un-
derstood that the medicine prescribed was a
powerful opiate; but, whether this was the case
or not, it is asserted that when the medical
man was called in the afternoon glance at
his late patient induced him to pronounce the
child dead. The services of an undertaken
were, of course, at once procured, and by him
the supposed corpse was tenderly prepared
for the last rites, and then placed in an ice
coffin until the usual time for interment should
have elapsed.
A wake was accordingly held, and mourn
ING relatives and friends 'ssat up with the
body day and night until Saturday afternoon,
the time announced for the funeral. Friends
of the family had gathered in considerable
numbers to assist in paying their tribute OF
respect to the sorrowing parents, and, almost
everything being in readiness for the commit
tai of 'dust to DUST" the undertaken and his
assistant, ON transferring the body from the
ice coffin to the casket in which it was about
to be inferred, were struck with establishment
at the peculiar appearance OF the remains. 1t
was noticed that there was a marked absence
of riqor morris, or that stiffness which is an in
separable concom tant of departed life.
This discovery produced an indescriba-
bly, painful state of anxiety to the
parents, while the halffrightened guests
crowded around the ambiguous corpse, sug-
costing various means of testing whether the
child was really alive or dead. Three or four
physicians were sent for, ard they at once
commenced a thorough search tor any linger-
ing evidence of vitality that might remain in
the subject, resorting, among other means, to
that Of tying a cord tightly on the fingers,
whereby it was seen that the nails changed
color plainly indicating that the heart had
not ceased to perform its all-important func-
tons. When it became apparent that there
was life in the child, the most approved man
ner of applying restoratives was resorted to,
and accordingly a more palpable degree OF
vitality was produced. although it is doubtful
| if the little one, who was so provldentially
rescued from living tomb can long survive
the protracted freezing ordeal through which
it has passed. The child was still alive last
evening.

LONDON.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Dispatches from Berlin
say Prince Gortschakoff has directed the
Russian representative at Madrid to report
without delay on the progress of Marshal Ser
ramos government towards the consolidation
OF its power with the view to formal recognl-
ton.
The Standard states there is reason to be-
ieve the recent interviews between Bismarck
and Gortschakoff resulted in the removal of
their personal difficulties; also in the adoption
OF a common policy by Russia and Germany,
in consequence of which the former will
speedily recognize the present government of
Spain, Russia's previous refusal to do SO
having been owing to Gortschakoff personal
influence.

nent part. He said Gadstone's position
was only assumed in order to secure to him
self return to power and had there been q
more general knowledge Of the tenets of the
Roman Catholic Church such controversy
would have been impossible.
Allusion was also made to the extreme pre-
JUDGE against the church in the far West,
which prevented the establishment of Roman
missions among the Indians, even whether
the churches had missions; and to the fact
that the Government would not allow priests
of the Roman Catholic Church to officiate as
chaplains in the army and navy, though that
privilege had been accorded in England.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Meeting Last Night Related to
Finances.

The delegates to the Firemen's Charitable
Association assembled last evening to receive
the report Of committee which was appoint
ed at the last called meeting. and delegated to
confer with the Board of Underwriters, rela-
tive to the securing of funds nov necessary to
continued operation Of the Fire Department.
Before the committee offered their report,
member of the board suggested that it would
be meet and proper to defer all business
transactions before the meeting, in respect to
the memory of VIM. +. Lucas, a member of
the Board of Delegates, whose sad fate was
related at length in the BULLETIN Of Thursday
morning.
The suggestion was Immediately concurred
in by all present. but Mr.. NJ .rks, the Presi-
dent put forward the proposition that the
report be read, and laid over until Monday
evening, at which time the delegates again as
semble to take it under consideration.
Mr.. Markss proposition was sustained, and
the report was read.
It set forth that the Board of Underwriters
first proposed to furnish funds for the main
tenance of a certain number of companies, a
proposition which the committee refused to
entertain, for the reason that they were dele
legated to negotiate for funds to be applied to
the relief of the Firemen's Charitable Associa-
ton, and not part of the Fire Department.
At second conference the Board of Under
writer's desired the committee to state what
sum was necessary to etisfy the most press
ing needs of the association, intimating that
the money would possibly be advanced, if
the sum required was not too large.
This money, it must be understood, will be
advanced on city certificates of Indebtedness,
which the association win give to the insur-
ance companies for equal amounts in cur
rency.
| The committee was unable to estimate OF
name the sum necessary to run the depart
ment economically, and thus informed the Un-
derwriters, proposing, however, to submit a
report to the Board of Delegates, and allow
their action. Monday evening, therefore, the
matter will come up for discussion, and will
be Of much interest. Before adjourning, a
committee of three was appointed, on motion,
to draft appropriate resolutions on the death
of the late William Lucas.
