Howe. Klsphsnt. a storm.

Howe's circus was showing at Indisnols
when the storm of the fourth came on, and
because Of injury to 'he railroads was COM
PEELED to remain there until the track was
temporarily repaired Friday evening. Then
the circus started for their next place of
exhibition. When about eight miles out
one corner of the bridge gave way, and
three cars containing animals ran off the
track and turned over into the mud very
gently. The first Car contained horses, the
second an elk and q camel and the other
the five elephants. The small animals were
easily liberated, but the elephants were all
IN heap. To.remove them the car was cut
away, exposi ng the tops of the unwieldy
animals backs. Then was exhibited the in

was not scratch upon them, and no school
boy ever gave more emphatic expression Of
relief from confinement as did those five ele-
plants. They trumpeted, swayed back and
forth, and did everything but talk. The
remaining distance to the city was made
on than were those animals. The cool,
breezy atmosphere, aud the bright moon
light were all inspiring. As the bridges
were gone at each stream, the elephants
took fresh enjoyment Of their liberty. Al
no time were they obstinate and disobedi-
eat, but seemed to realize the situation.
On arriving at Des Moines railroad cars had
to be procured which was not easily done,
as ordinary cars are too low. Some were
finally fouRd. which were about one inch

An indian ROmauee--A Leader OF rha
sioux q White Renegade from Mis-

In the early days of Pike county, Mis-
souri, when the cat-like panther roamed the
hills, and the deet-footed deer bounded
through the forest, there lived near Bowl
ing Green, q man named Noah Adkins.
Realizing the truGh Of the sdage tbat at is
not good for man to be alone, he took unto
himself wife. This lady was named Ali
son, who had q son William by former
husband. This SOD, William, was fine
physical man, and not inferior in intellect.
In 'f946 he Joined Col. Rails regiment, in
Sterling Prices brigade, and marched to
the wars in California, where he took part
in the conflict ut Santa Cruz and other bat
ties Alter his return he got into quarrel
with his stepfather. They adjourned to
Cranes lanyard to fight it out, and by
singular fatality each shot the others arm
off. This affair brought on a separation
between Noah and his wife, and the latter
went with her son William and her son-in-
law, James r ,bbins, (once candidate for
sheriff of Pike county, to Independence,
Missouri. Some time previous to this son
of John had been born to Mrs. Adkins. and
he concluded to follow the fortunes or mis-
fortunes Of his mother. After living in In
dependence some time, William Allison got
the contract for carrying the United States
mails between Independence and old Santa
Fe. While acting in this capacity he was
killed by the Indians. The boy (John)
wandered away and was captured by the
Sioux Indians. 1t is rarely that ever a
prisoner escapes torture and death at the
hands Of the -savages, but Adkins seemed
reserved by some unaccountable stroke of
fate for another destiny. He became ac-
quainted with the ways of the redskins,
settled down to live among them, and final
ly became one of their chiefs, and was in
command OF one Of the detachments at the
Little Big Horn massacre, where the gallant
Custer and his heroic little army rode into
the jaws OF death. These facts were related
by an old scout named Cook, who told them
in Bowling Green. .e NOS

THE MonRIsTowN AsYLUM.-We stated
last week on the authority of an exchange,
that the Morristown Lunatic Asylum CON-
pleted will cost three and half millions of
dollars. Since then we have come into pos
session of the official reports, which show
that statement to be incorrect. This year
the Commissioners asked for an appropriation
of $3.50, 0O0 and in their report say
ssThis latter sum, added to the amount of
all previous appropriations, viii make the
total cost of the Asylum buildings, the
bakery, the heating, ventilating, and cooking
apparatus, engines, boilers, machinery, furni-
ture, &C., &C., with four hundred and thirty
(430) acres of land, two and one-quarter (2D
miles of railroad, gas works, water works,
&C., &C., two million two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, ($2, ESQ., 00). Embraced in
this sum is also the cost of the construction
of one and hree-quarters Il ID miles of new
carriage road, to take the place of the old
road which was taken up, and which passed
over part of the present site of the Asylum
buildings"
This is much smaller amount than the
figures named in our last ISSUE How the i'm
preston has gotten abroad we do not know,
but it is general that the buildings have
cost much more than the sum named in the
Commissioners report. We are glad to be
able to make the correction. Not word
can be said against the disbursements Of the
moneys entrusted to the Commissioners, SO
far as the least "jobbery " is concerned

LOCAL OPTIoN.--The defeat of Local OPP
tion in the House of Assembly the other
day was to have been expected. Nobody is
SO slow as the average legislator to learn that
intelligent and honest legislation may be Of
service to the State. He cannot, OF does not,
at all events, bring his courage up to the
point of looking the raw-head voters in the
face, and saying them nay. 1t is true of many
legislatures that the gin element has held the
balance of power, and the treatment by past
Assemblies of q modest request from that
class Of the public which does not patronize
the whiskey trade has SO strengthened the
liquor element as to make 1t impudent and
oyerbearing at the present session of the
House. Ignorant and unreasonable it al
ways has been and will continue to be, and
the man who stands by gin in the Legislature
naturally supposes that his prospective legis-
lative or higher honors will have the influence
of the bottle to strengthen them. The Mon
mouth Democrat handles this matter vigor-
ously and earnestly. Wequote:
1.-THE Local Option bill was killed in the
Assembly last week, and from the report in
the daily papers the members enjoyed the
killing Of it very much. They thrust at it
with gusto that indicated unlimited free
drinks in prospective. They sneered at its
advocates, they argued its impracticability,
and talked wisely of constitutional law in con
They showed there's millions in the traffic
in the shape of government revenue, but they
omitted 10 refer to the millions that it costs
the Taxpayers for courts, and juries, and
judges, and jails, and poor houses, nor did
they refer to the government officials who
gobbled the revenue. 1t was grave obiec-
tion that the bill was introduced by ssrespec-
table but radical minded people, '-if it had
been presented by disreputable people, with
minds muddled with whiskey, the legislature
might have treated the application with some
consideration, "but no law should be passed
to please the within of any radical minded per-
son or persons"
How could legislature which had Just voted
to perpetuate the Legislative commissions of
Jersey City, vote for any measure allowing
the people a voice in their own local affairs !?
Whatever else they may do, they are not go
ing back on themselves after that fashion.
One gentleman had an idea "--(he was still
alive at the close of the session)--that every
man who desired to take his whiskey straight
had right to do SO, and he was opposed to
the bill. AS If the question of any gentle
mans drinking was involved in the question
Of Of any other gentlemen's opening tipping
One gentleman was honest enough to say
/" Let us have less temperance societies and
more beer Saloons" quoting it as the opinion
of celebrated physician. That physician
bad an eye to business, and might have had
an interest in brewery, as well as in broken
heads and coroncrs inquests but we can
hardly see reason In that why the people
should not be allowed to say how many dram
shops they will have and who shall run them,
or whether they will have any or not What's
physician or two TO tho yindicstion of
great principle?

FOR The RECORD.
Mr. EDITOR What has become of Gus
to- One would think that if he meant any
thing by his stupendous efforts to increase the
business of Lambertville, he would, just now,
under the circumstances, redouble his efforts in
that direction ? But instead of this he sud-
of his enemy. This is, to say the least Of it,
bad generalship. Why does he not attempt
to prove that business - is the only desira-
BILE object to live forp That building houses,
running railroads, managing mills, factories,
and merchandise in general, is the great end
and aim of man ? And that this cannot be
accomplished without license to sell rum p
1t seems to me that what have just said, is
the exact position which "Gustoo and his
disciples are forced to occupy. Let them have
full sway and we shall see brawling and dis
turbances in all our streets, and the law and
order loving citizens will have no power to
prevent it. Because it will be done according
to law, and a safe retreat behind paper bar
rier will DO provided for the miscreant who is
the author of this mischief.
Come Gusto, please say something that will
at least seem like an argument in favor of
your side of the question. 1t is hard work
to set up your man of straw and then go to
work and knock it down. Say something
about setting, traps on the corners of the
Streets established by law for our sons and
brothers, creating place of deposit for the
hard earned wages which ought to be used for
bread for the young at home, SO that when
winter comes, the taxpayers of the city shall
have the pleasure of supporting them. Can
you not say something in defense of system
which brings about this state of affairs?
And again, Gusto, what about our little
public discussion The time is drawing to
close in which you can influence voters for
the coming election, yet we will contrive to
have that little debate on any TERMS almost,
which you may see fit to impose. think we
might have good time If you will consent.
There is much more which might be said in
this strain, but will await your action with
impotence. OTsUa.
