Elephant Borson's Rage.

Gilmore's Garden N. ", was in an up
roar on the morning Of the 10th inst, and
a curious throng gathered in the streets
near by. A big elephant named Borsen,
which arrived from Liverpool on Saturday
for Barnum's menagerie, was assigned TO a
place where three other elephants were
chained and, being unaccustomedtos stand
otherwise than alone, he became very
belligerent. He walked in front of his
companions as far as his chain would per-
init, struck them on their heads with his
trunk, and seemed determined that they
should acknowledge his superiority. AL
ways when several elephants are together
one masters the rest, before peace is
established. Mr.. Hale, the keeper Of
Borsen, gave him blows with stout stick,
and aided by several other men, watched
the beasts throughout the night. Borsen
entertained n consequent grudge against
his keeper, and as the latter,r about seven
in the morning, was giving him water, hit
him blow with his trunk on the side that
knocked him twenty feet away. Hale ran
mt Borsen with his stick, but was seized
and thrown over the railing. On returning
TO the charge, he was again seized, and
this time the beast was on the point of
plunging his tusks into him, when Mr.
Charles McLain, the boss canyassman,
went to his rescue and dragged him out of
.seach. Borsen then became furious. He
broke his chain, and started through the
Apremises with his trunk elevated and his
tail standing stiff1y in a horizontal position.
die tore down the wooden railing as if it
were thread, and went to the lions cage,
which he knocked over. There was then
q pandemonium of roars from all the
beasts, including the seals and sea lions.
Over twenty fled, but soon rallieds, and
.under the leadership of Messrs, McLain
and Mcdonald, prodded the elephant with
pitchforks and tore his ears with hooks
until he was secured. This was done by
first lassoing one of his legs as he stepped,
and then twining the rope around his
other legs, which caused him to fall
heavily. Then, being helpless, his fore
and hind legs and his tusks were chained.
In this condition, after tremendous beat
ings, he was allowed to rise, and was led
to one of his posts of the garden, to which
he was attached. His ears were badly
lacerated, and blood streamed from wounds
on his sides and belly.
An elephant, after being conquered,
rarely, attemps second rebellion, and
Borsen was quiet last evening, obeying
the commands of the attendants. 1t took
six hours to subdue him, and men were
afterward occupied for hours washing
away the constant flow of blood. Mr..
fIale was badly, but not dangerously hurt
Charles Rivers had very narrow escape,
for the elephant at one time held him with
his trunk, and was on the point of driving
his tusks into him when violent blow of
club caused the trunk to loosen. Borsen
is now SO we'll chained that he cannot
break loose.

KNOWLEDGE is POWER.

This is nation of enlightened freeman.
Education is the cornerstone and founda-
tion ofour government. The people are
free to think and act for themselves, and
that they may act wisely it is necessary
that they be well informed. Every indi-
vidual gain increases public gain. Upon
the health of the people is based the pros
perity of a nation, by it every value is in
creased, every joy enhanced. Health is es-
sential to the accomplishment of every
purpose while sickness thwarts the best
intentions and loftiest aims. Unto us are
com mitted important health trusts which
we hold not merely in our own behalf but
for the benefit of others. In order that
we may be able to discharge the obligation
of our trusteeship and thus prove worthy
of our generous commission, it is necessary
that we study the art of preserving health
and prolonging life. 1t is of paramount
Importance to every person not only to
understand the means for the preservation
of health, but also to know what remedies
should be employed for the alleviation of
the common ailments of life. Not that we
would advise every man under all circum-
stances to attempt to be his own physician,
but we entreat him to acquire sufficient
knowledge of his system and the laws
that govern it, that he may be prepared to
take care of himself properly, and thereby
prevent sickness and prolong life. In no
text book will the people find the subjects
of physiology and hygiene, or the science
Of life and the art of preserving health,
more scientifically discussed or more plainly
taught than in "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" by r, V. Pierce,
NJ. D., of Buffalo, N. Y 1t is volume
OF over nine hundred large pages, illustrat-
ed by over two hundred and eghty-two
engravings and colored plates, is elegantly
bound in cloth and gilt, and is sent, post
paid, to any address by the author at the
low price one dollar and fifty cents copy.
Nearly one hundred thousand copies have
already been sold, and the present edition,
which is revised and enlarged and more
especially adapted to the wants of the
family, is selling very rapidly. 1t treats OF
all the common diseases and their remedies,
as well as of anatomy, physiology, hygiene,
human tempeTaments, and many other
topics of great interest to all people, and is

A Plea for White Men.

The white lsborers every where in
Nevada, at the present juncture,
should firmly. but quietly and
pesceably demspd the discharge Of
all Cinnamon whose places can be
filled by Caucasians. There are.
perhaps. Q few occupations I'M.
sought by white persons. at prac-
ticable cost, but we believe the
number is very limited. The all
vantage Of Chinese cheap labor, So
called. is less than most employers
imagine. When the real and per-
mnnent gain TO any community. or
even to the individual employer. is
taken into account the difference is
not material. Take. for instance.
the section hands on the railroads;
the increased consumption in food.
clothing and other expenditures by
white men and their families, would
go far toward compensating 10
freiRhts the difference in the cost OF
the labor paid for Tho same rea-
soning holds good in most OF the
other departments Of labor in which
Chinese are employed The same
number Of whites employed in
whatever capacity. wouli give by
the daily expenditure Of the in
creased population u fnll compen-
sation for the difference in apparent
cost, and stimulus would thereby
be given to all branches of business.
At present none but Chinese are
employed in repairing the tracks
on the roads Of the Central Pacific
and Virginia & Truckee Companies.
Chinese are also exclusively used
in roundhonses and 10 unloading
coal. ore. wood, lumber and other
freiohrs outside OF Virginia and
Gold Hill. This state of affairs is
the cause OF much unfavorable
comment, and the fact that the
charges on these roads, anywhere
in Nevada. are excessively high
only serves to aggravate the canse
Of complaint. The earnings on both
roals are very great. enormous on
he freight and passenger traffic III
Nevada. and the people of this
State should insist that some degree
IT justice should he shown them
in the class Of employees engaged
IN these roads.

During this season OF strikes ana
complaint of hard times and no en-
ploymeut, there is one subject to
which we think the attention of our
people should be directed. It has
grown to besa common practice for
many Of our citizens, especially Of
the weslthier class, to 20 away from
Silver City to do their trading. Men
VIII" are we'll fixed, and made it all in
Silver City, buy groceries, dry goods,
boots and furnishing goods in Gold
Hill or Virginia.
1t may appear q great deal more
dignified for Mr.. O. K. to buy $50
suit Of clothes (worth t20) or a pair
of boots for $40 worth t6) in vir-
GINA City, but it would be q good
deal more like business, as we'll rs a
good deal more credit to our own
town, il Air. o. K. could say, ~
bought this $50 suit for $40 aud this
SO pair Of boots for So right here
10 Silver City"
There are two reasons given for
this desertion Of hume merchants
which come within tho province Of
this article, and which deserve no.
ticc. The first and most worthy is
tina: our home merchants do not keep
the quality of goods wanted. The
answer to this il that if our citizens
would insist upon making their pur-
chases ut home, dealers would very
soon keep stocks {, suit the most fas-
tidious. Dry goods mer chants, fur
nishing goods dealers and boot and
shoe dealers cannot be expected to
keep u San Francisco wholesale stock
SO long as 1t appears So much more
becoming to trade abroad than at
home.
The second reas0n-nOt so worthy,
yet sometimes given is that god.
can be purchased cheaper abroad
THIS is sll imagination; in nineteen
cases In twenty, we know that it is
purely imaginary. But let US admit
once, for argument sake, that such is
the fact, and IL affords no valid reas-
On then for going abroad to make
purchases. We are all dealing ami
living with each other, aud ii the
physician pays $50 for his livery, the
livery stable keeper is then enabled
to pay the $50 due on his unpaid
grocery bill,and the grocer is then eu-
abled to pay his clothing account,
and the clothing dealer is then Ell
sbled to pay the $50 due the physi
clan for medical attendance. Oh
such is trade. II man sells at a
profit he will have some hing to buy
with.
II he don't sell at all he can. buy
At all. II all merchants and busl.
ness men were selling at y good
profit. all would begin buying o,
once. This would be the Case now,
il there were not 80 many DUNG
their purchasing abroad, and in
this way making times so much
harder for business men at home.
1t il this practice that makes high
prices here. il they are higher than
else W here; and then we submit that
il is not Just for the man who ex.
poets to make ell his money here IN
Silver City to 60 abroad to MAKE
his purchases. The way to make
merchants and dealers keep the
largest stocks and sell at the lowest
figures ia to trade with them. When
oil consent to do this. oil will See
better times than we now have.
