An elephant passed over the new
bridge at st. Louis the other day About
fifty boys, loaded with cakes and other
elephant tempters. walked backward
ahead of him and did the coaxing, while
a crowd OF men, with pixies and crow
bars, urged him from behind. A st.
Louis paper describes him as A." the meek
old mountain, apparently deaf to the
applause which greeted him."

Of tl,o prominent characters Of the day, aud ie
