The large elephant Empress, which
died at the Geological Gardens, Phila-
delphia, recently, has been dissected.
The removal OF the skin disclosed a
diseased condition of the flesh, but the
muscles were found to be healthy and
immensely developed. AS compared
with the great size of the animal the
brain was found to be very small,
weighing only eight or ten pounds.
The stomach was found to be sac
about six feet in length, and the intes.
tines was more than sixty feet in
length, and from six to twelve feet in
diameter. The abdomen was found to
be diseased with tumors, which were
the cause of the death OF the animal.
The heart very much resembled that
of man.

During the large Grange demonstration at
Allegan Oh the 26th OF August ex-Speaker j.
!. Woodmar. IN the course of candid address
TO his fellow farmers upon what he deemed to
be the unjust features OF the national and
State legislation affecting the agricultural IN
terests OF the country, referred, as a single
instanc, OF the general in ustlce, to the remov-
nj or the tariff on wool, both raw and manu-
featured, and the subsequent restoration OF
the taiid OH The fabrics, but not, as he claimed,
on the wool, making discrimination in favor
of the manufactures and against the farmer.
Among his auditors was the Hon. VIM. b. Will
rams, Congressman from the Fifth District,
TO whom Mr.. Woodman made personal appear
for action that should remedy this matter. The
result was the publication in the last number of
the Allegan Journal OF the following letter
from MIR. Williams:
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
The Hon J. J. Woodman, in his address to
the Patrons OF Husbandry, to day, on the fair
ground, called my attention to the action of
Congress last winter upon the tariff and stated
chat while Congress then restored the tariff on
manufactured goods, 1t did not restore II upon
wool-thus legislating in the interest OF the
manufacturer and not OF the farmer.
regret that my friend. Mr.. Woodrnan,
should have been led into an error Of 80 seri-
GUS nature. as, il 1t were fact. 1t would
have shown a species OF legislation on the part
OF Congress indefensble, and that could only
be accounted for, as the speaker alleged, from
the activity OF the manufacturer in loosing after
his interest and the neglect OF the farmer -
But unfortunately for the argument the pre-
misses were not true. Congress did not except
wool from tue effect OF the restoration of the
ten per cent. reduction OF 1872, but squareIy
repealed the reduction. and restored the tariff
NJ 1T existed upon wool, as we'll as upon the
the manufacture OF wool. prior to the passage
OF that act The act OF 1872 can be found In
the United States Revised Statutes, section
2503, and the act Of 1872 is in chapter 12'
of the acts OF the second session OF the forty
third Congress Section four OF that act read
as follows:
SECTION 4. That 80 much of section 25O3 o
