An Elephant Fight.

The first elephant fight during the
reign OF the present gackwur took
place at Baroda, India. A lurge
arena Of about 1900 yards by 1000
was Enclosed by pukka wall Of about
ten or fifteen fcet in height. The en-
frances were just enough to allow an
elephant to pass through, and were
blocked hy cross bars ,of considerable
thickness. At Il given signal two elc-
plants were let Loose. No sooner did
the animals catch sight Of each, other
than they roarcd and rushed fnrward
until they came within foot of one
another, when they ma,lca dead stop.
Alter one Or two attempts on both
sides, onc Of the animals gnt his trunk
well over the others tti>ks. The tusks
then mst, and the objcct Of the ami
mails was to get Il good grip anil push
on. This was done about twenty or
thirty times, and The smaller animal
pinned the other to tho earth. As The
animals separated md commenced
another attack, it was apparent that
the smaller one was getting the better
oft, and he brought his antagonist TO
buy in u few minutes afterwnr,l. The
signal was then given to remove the
elephants. Another couple VAS then
let loose, but The extreme weakness Of
the animals brought the encounter to
. very speedy termination. ai

MR.. McDONALD's NOMINATION.
THE NEW CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE.

THE NEW CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE.
The Chicago Tribune thus comments on
the nomination OF the Hon. Joseph L.
Mcdonald as a candidate for the United
States Senate: The democratic party of
Indiana are to be congratulated on the
nomination of joseph Il. Mcdonald as
their candidate for the United States
Senate as against such Bourbons as
VOORHEES, and Holman. The nomination is,
of course, equivalent to his election, and,
if we had been Obliged to select a DEM
ocratic candidate from among Indiana
politicians, we should have chosen between
him and Michael Q. Kerr. On the whole,
perhaps, Mr.. Mcdonald is better suited TO
the Senate chamber than Mr.. Kerr would
be. He is q self made man, now about 81
years of age, .corpulent and rotuud
as to body, with corresponding jol-
lily in disposition and manner. Born in
Ohio, he spent the earlier years of his life in
Lafayette, Ind, where he worked at the
shoemaker's bench; he was earning his liv-
ing in that way while he studied law. He
entered politics while he was yet young in
years, aud was elected 10 congress when
only t~enty-eight years old. Since that
time he has held many places OF public
trust, including the office of attorBev-gen-
e-al of the state from 1857 to 1859. He
was chairman of the democratic state CEN
trail committee during the last campaign,
and 1t was largely owing to his energetic
CohetuSt vi Suc CauPoiSh eHoS Sho uchO-

interest amounts to one-quarter OF one
per cent. / suggest this rate OF
interest because it would bring currency AT
par with gold at the date fixed By law Tor
hnel resumption, l suggest 10 per cent. as
the demand premium at the beginning, De-
cause / believe the rate would insure re-
tention of silver in the country for change.
The provisions OF the third section OF the
act viii prevent combinations being made
TO exhaust the treasury of coin. With
such a law it is presumable That
no gold would be called for not re-
quired for legitimate business Pur-
poses. When large amounts OF coin should
be drawn from thetreasury, correspondlngly
large amounts of currency would be with
drawn from circulation, thus causing SUI
fcient stringency in currency to stop the
outward flow of coin.
THE ADVANTAGES
Of a currency of fixed and known value
would be reached, in my opinion, by the en-
actment of such a law. Business and indus
tries would revive, and the beginning OF
prosperity on a firm basis would be reached.
Other means Of increasing the revenue than
hose suggested should be probably de-
vised. and also other legislation In fact.
to carry out the first section of the act
another mint becomes necessity. WIN
the present f,Cilitiees for cOinsgs II would
take a period probably beyond that fixed
by the law for the final specie resumption
to coin the silver necessary to transact the
business of the country. There ore now
smelling furnaces for extracting silver and
gold from ore brought from the mountain
territories in Chicago, ST. Louis end
Omaha, there being three in the
former city. AS much OF the change
required will be wanted in the Mississippi
valley states, and as the metals to be coined
come from the west OF chose states, and ss
understand the charges for transportation OF
bullion from either of the cities named totse
mint in Philadelphia or New York City
| amount to 81 for each 81 900 worth, with an
| equal expsnse for transportation back, II
would seem a fair argument in sfavor OF
adopting one or more of these cities as the
place or places for the establishments OF new
| coinage facilities. 1 have ventured upon
this subject with great difhdenct
because il j. so unusual to approve meas
