AN ELEPHANT AS NURsE.-A large
elephant showed, by constant fagella-
ton of his body, that he was much an
noyed by his tina prosecutors, the mos
quitoes, and just at that time the keeper
brought little naked black thing, as
round as ball, which in India 1 believe
they call child, laid it down before the
animal with two words in Hindoostanee,
"Watch it, and then walked away into
the town. The elephant Immediately
broke off the larger part of a bough so
as to make a smaller and more conven-
lent whisk, and directed its whole atten-
ton to the child. gently tanning the
little lump of India-ink, ard driving
away every mosquito which came near
it this he continued for upward of two
hours, regardless of himself, until the
keeper returned. It was really beau
tiful sight, causing much reflection.
He was monster, whose weight exceed
ed that of the infant by at least ten
thousand times, acknowledging that the
image OF his Maker, even in the lowest
degree of perfection, was divine silently
proving the truth of the sacred an
nouncement that God hath '.given to
man domain over the beast of the field. y

an example Of devotion and self denial

PRINTING OEr1cE SEcRErs.-

PRINTING OFFICE SECRETs.-A prop
erly conducted printing Office is as much
a secret society as is q masonic lodge.
The printers are not under an oath of
secrecy, but always feel themselves as
truly in honor bound to keep secrets as
though they had been put through triple
oaths. An employee in a printing office
who willingly disregards this rule in
regard to printing Office secrets would
not only be scorned by his brethren of
the craft, but would lose his position in
the Office at once. We make this state
ment because it sometimes happens that
q communication appears in a newspaper
under an assumed signature which ex-
cites comment, and various parties try
to find out who is the author. Let all
be saved the trouble of questioning the
employees or attaches of the printing
Office. They are "know nothings" on
such points as these. On such matters
they 'shave eyes and ears, but no mouth"
and if they fail to observe this rule, let

OUR VISITOR.
The Man Who is on the Way to the Gen.
tennial---And His Wife.
[From the New York world,1

lFrom the New York world,l
The typical Centennial visitor made
his debut at q prominent Broadway ho-
tel yesterday morning, accompanied by
his blushing bride. While he rang the
night bell cautiously she moistened her
spit-curl with the tips of her fingers and
otherwise freshened her toilet. A benev-
olent person suggesting that they had
better step in and inquire at the Office
for the landlord, they forthwith locked
elbows and marched with much cere-
mony into the reading room, bar-room,
barber-shop and furnishing goods store
next door before discovering the proper
goal Of newly arrived guests. Declining
the pen proffered by the clerk, with the
remark that he guessed he wouldn't
write to the folks till they got to Phila-
delphla, the stranger expressed desire
for a nice room with carpet and an
extra quilt, intimating in an undertone
that expenses was no object. Being ini-
tiated by the clerk into the mysteries of
ter" the typical visitor wrote his name
in it with much effort and elaboration,
adding the maiden name of his bride
and minutely specifying the village,
county and township from which they
came. Then recovering from the hori-
zontal attitude rendered necessary By
I,n 1aE> Of Jo :,
boiled egg from his coat-tail pocket, and
cracking the shell gently on the ink
stand, he proceeded to pick off the piec-
es, casually announcing that he and Sal
merely wanted to be lodged, being amply
provided with the necessary comestibles
for fortnight's visit. Late last even
ing the Interesting couple were seen
taking ice-cream in neighboring res
laurent. A single dish and two tea
spoons served them both, and in the
course Of the subsequent conversation
they bit the spoons to test the genuine
ness of the metal, looked through the
saucer at the light, smelled all the bot
ties in the caster, and, being instructed
by the waiter where to settle the bill,
pocketed the napkins and walked up to
the desk. In the course of the ensuing
debate upon the un-easonableness of the
charge, the stranger assumed seat on
the counter, but happening to light on
fresh custard pie, the discussion was
abruptly terminated, the frugal victim
being obliged to pay for both ice-cream
and pie i'll order to obtain the loan of
knife to scrape the custard from his
trousers legs. This morning they went
to Philadelphia.

THE emancipation of the serfs in Rus
sia has resulted in great poverty among
their former owners. In the Tran
caucasin Government of Kutais the last
census gives 105 mobiles to every 1 600 Of
the population, or in all 1000 members
of the nobility, of whom q, 900 are with
out any means of support, emancipation
having deprived them of the greater
part of their estates as well as the own
ership of the laborers.

How He SAVED HIS TREASURES
There is a story told of French artist
and collector who was more fortunate in
bagging the spoiis of Eastern explora-
tions than was Mr.. George Smith. He
had got number ofsculptures and orna-
ments, and in accordance with the terms
of fireman, he offered half OF these to the
representatives of Turkey, and tried to
take the rest home to France But the
Pacha, or Cadi, or whatever he may have
been, uttered his form of non possumus
and the artist went, shedding tears, of
course, to consult an English friend
who knew the Turks. The Englishman
by no means despaired, asked the
Frenchman to leave the matter to him,
and observed that it was merely an affair
of gold watch and rife. The COL
lector would have given wilderness of
and the English merchant saw the Cadi-
the official candidly allowed that his Gov
ernment cared no moro for sculpture
than George IL. did for ''poetry and
painting" and admitted that gold
watch and rifle were the dearest wishes
of his heart. $50 tell your friend. !"
said he, ''to make two heaps of his rub
bish, his own heap to be obviously big
ger than that intended for US. [ will
come down with my scribe, will accuse
him of Frankish dishonesty, and retire
in q rage. The Faerch1nan may then
once, and to be off with them" All
these things were done as the Cadi
had appointed, and a European gallery
is the richer in the art of Greece.

At Cairo, after having riser
within four feet eight inches of the
highest point reached this veal
april 7th), the river is declining
again. The Cumberland, Tennes-
see and, in fact, the Ohio Except
an eight-inch rise at LOUISVILLE and
all of its tributaries, are falling rap
idly. The Mississippi is falling at
all points above from which there
are any signal reports. The Mis-
souri, is also falling at all points ex-
cept Leavenworth and st. Joseph,
where there is a rise of seven inches
at the former and eight inches at
the latter. That there will be a
decline here within a day or two is
now conceded by all. The rise
here since the late decline has
scarcely been perceptible, though
some of our friends, during the
early part of last week, insisted
that there would be arise here of at
least twelve inches. The LEDGER
was, as usual, more correct
in its estimates. AS the
White and Arkansas are falling
fast, we feel assured that within a
few days we can report a rapid de-
cline in the river from here to
Vicksburg, which will insure the
lower valley being sufficiently dry
for planting a full crop in time for
its maturity. We hope, however,
that the greater portion of the
lands yet implanted will be planted
in corn instead of cotton, as many
upland planters are as usual plant
ing too much cotton, they being
under the impression hat the over
flow will prevent a full crop of cot
ton on the river bottom landslide
result Of which (if there should be
a dry summer, as is more than
probable after so much rainy, will
be a scarcity of corn next fall and
a low price for cotton, a state of
affairs equally as disastrous to the
river planters as a late general over
flow. We advise our planting
friends to reflect on this before
planting more cotton.
