Tho Fate Of the Transatlantic Dory

From the Cape Ann Advertiser.
The attempt of Charles Madison to
cross the ocean alone in dory has
probably resulted fatally, since moth
ing has been heard of him for six or
eight weeks, and the perils of such an
undertaking are well.nigh insurmount-
vble, even under the most favorable
conditions, as was shown by the exper-
ience of Capt. johnson. of the Centcn-
nial, who declares that hc would not at
tempt the feat again for million of
dollars. Madison sailed from New
York about the Sth of July.
The cases so far tried at the present
term Of the Supreme court are not of general
importance.

sAeACIrY OF CIRCUS ELEPHANTS.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, describing the experience of
Howe's circus and managerie after the
late storm in Iowa, speaks as follows OF
the sagaeity Of the trained elephants;
Assistant Superintendent Royce sent
large force to repair damages and relieve
the circus train. and the task was great
every bridge gone and miles of track undeT
the road was put in temporary repair, anu
the train started in three sections. When
about ten miles out trestle sank, and 1--we
cars of the third section capsized in the
soft mud. The first car contained horses,
the second an elk and camel, the other
three the five performing elephants. The
roofs were cut away and the first two cars
easily emplied, but the elephants were all
in a heap and giving emphatic expression
of their discontinue. To get them out
was not SO easy, yet with The intelligence

human brute, it was accomplished ana they
received not scratch They obeyed ev-
cry instruction, kneeling down, putting
out one leg then another, turning anu
twisting with all the intelligence OF a
child, eclipsing in marvellousness anything
performed in the ring. When relieved
from their perilous situations they gave
expressions of joy which were emphatic
and unmistakable. They fairly laughed
all over
The remainder Of the trip was made
overland, and this the animals enjoyed
hugely, as the night was cool and the
moon bright. The missing bridges on the
route gave the elephants repeated oppor-
tunity for indulgng in sport. They ar
rived here before the train cars had to be
provided forthem. but ordinary cars were
too low. Finally two were found which
were about an inch higher than the largest
elephants back. The elephants were
brought. alonside, and Jack the largest
was called first to mount the platform.
He noticed the strange car, and gave
careful scrutiny, seized the doorpost with |

decided to remove the roof ribs, which

Jack was again invited to take ride.
He promptly assented, entered the car.

his back. Finding it all right, he trumpet

At Koptz and Sierck there is still observed
a curious usage that dates back to immemo-
rial antiquity On the eve of ST. Johns day,
June o. the villagers roll burning wheel
from the heights of the Stromberg, that rises
behind the village, down the steep hillside to
the Mosel. The beginning Of the festivities
is announced by the firing of guns from the
Marie of Sierck at ten O'Clock. Then go
numbcrless troops up the Stromberg, on the
top of which a bonfire is lighted. A straw
hound wheel in full blaze is rolled down,
guided at first by the mountain boys with
sticks. The others make torches OF the re-
naming straw, which they swing with joy
GUS cries. The women and girls stand by the
mountain brook well; the men and boys are
keeping the fire on the height or guiding the
rolling of the wheel. If this runs beyond the
well, Kontz gets from Sierck a cask of white
wine; if |, stops short of that point, Sierck
gets from Kontz basket Of cherries; il II
