The Jardin d'AcciimaLation Of Paris
has narrowly escaped serious bereave-
ment. Toby, the young elephant, is its
spoiled child, and has been permitted to
wander almost at will. Three weeks
ago he took it into his head to visit the
dromedaries, but Mrs. d. having a
newly-born dromedary on her hands,
was in highly nervous condition, trem-
bled for her baby, and "went for" Toby,
who was subsequently found in a pool
of blood. The doctors were summoned,
and both the pugilists taken 10 hospital,
the lady being also considerably dam
aged.

bank Of the little lake, near the trunk of a
picturesque old tree, and these act as specta-

on their knees near the water, endeavoring to
guide two little boats with sticks in their

there has been some talk by 1.-THE Republ-
can stump speakers of late:-
ROCKS DEMOCRATIC STATE CoMNITMEE,
New YORK, Sept. 20, 1876.
An affidavit by one Daniel P. Jones
has been published, 10 which it is alleged
that in September, 1868. he waited upon
Samuel j. Tilden and solicited a con-
tribution for the United States Christian
Commission, which was engaged in furnish
ing supplies for the relief of sick and
wounded soldiers, aud that Mr.. Tilden re-
piled that he would rather see all the SOL
dlers starve to death than give them one
cent. The affidavit is an absolute and at
rocious falsehood. 1T is SO manifestly a
fabrication that 1t would be unworthy of
notice, but for the fact that, as is said, it
was procured for and read at the meeting
OF Republican partisans and placement.
with sprlnkling of actual soldiers, recent
ly held at Indianapolis as a Convention of
boys in blue Governor Tilden was so far
from having any such feeling as is falsely
attributed to him 10 the affidavit, that a
few months earlier, in 1868, he made a
contribution to the Sanitary Commission.
The person who has been induced by UNI
/
| affidavit is an old man in the western part
OF the city, but generally Stunned in con-
sequence of his squalid appearance and
uncleanly habits If not corrupted he has
been the easy victim of bad men, but his
intellect is SO feeble that he probably is
not sensible of the great wrong he hal
done. He says that he was promised "a
suit of clothes, which have not yet beer
given to him.
The warfare upon the Reform
candidate for president has never
been surpassed in falsehood and defama
ton, but the intelligence of the people will
perceive that it is waged by men who are
making a desperate effort not merely tc
retain offices and power, but to prevent
the further ext osure Of their past corrup
ton and frauds. A striking illustration
OF this truth is given by the conduct o.
James g. Blaine. No mau has greater
interest 10 defeating the Reform candidate
or is more INSCRIPTIONS in bis Efforts t.
accomplish that result. He is so desper
ate that he asser in one of his speeches
that Mr.. Wood writes, that he ha
heard Governor Tilden declare" that ever,
man in the United States army tina
marched across southern soil was a tres
passer and liable TO suit for damages 10 al
action for trespass. Governor TiIdel
never made any such declaration to an
person; he never expressed nor held suci
an opinion: nor has he ever made any ex
preston that could possibly bear such
construction. James G. Blaine, by utter
ing such falsehood. has only disgrace,
himself. d. MAGoNE, Jr., Chairman
