Emperor and Boy.

One OF the commissioners from Bra
iii to the Philadelphia exposition, told
pleasant story of the emperor. A lad
of good family, in Rio Janeiro, found
himself left, 10y the death Of his father,
friendlcss and penniless. One day he
saw middle-aged gentleman plainly
dressed, and with a singularly candid,
kind countenance, walking alone in the
street. The lads companion told him
it was the emperor, adding, "He chooses
to he unnoticed, to go up aud down as
the father Of his people"
"If he is the father of his people, "
said the boy, " he will take some inter,

peror, though trembling with fright, he
tolG hi, story in few direct words.
Dom Pedro listened attentivcly.
"What is it that yon want, then, my
boJ?"
An education. your majesty. If l
had that could be Of some use to my
self and others. Now / am of none
g For what business did your father
design you?'
"That Of civil engineer, SIR"
Come to me at noon to morrow
The emperor inquired concerning the
lad, and then took upon himself the
whole expense of his support and edu-
cation, sending him to this country to
receive the latter. The fact which gives
more significance to the story is that
he emperor is comparatively II poor
man, his income beng much less than
that Of many wealthy Brazilian gentle
men. Even the education of this one
boy involved certain amount of self
sacrifice on his part.
Dom Pedro cares nothing for luxury,
pomp, or even the honors of the world
his whole aim is the elevation and i'm
provement OF his subjects. For this
purpose he has visited almost every
civilized country, carrying home the
best in theory aud practice, to expert
ment in Brazil. He was accustomed on
his tours Of investigation at the expo
sition, to go about incognito, in shabby
coat and trousers, to the great disap
pointment of the crowd. They did not
recognize the fact that no insignia OF
royalty could add dignity to such real
majesty of character.

A Believing Elephant.

During recent high wind the large
lantern on the top of the elephant
house in the Geological Garden of
Philadelphia was demolished. Pieces
of the thick glass fell into the cage &C.
cupied by the elephants, and the fe-
male, treading on one of the fragments,
received a painful wound.
Instead Of displaying the heroic pa
tience under suffering that might have
been looked for in creature of her d.
mansions, she set up howl that made
the roar of the storm seem the signing
of zephyr by contrast.
The keeper, attracted by the din,
fastened to the scene, and found her
rolling about the cage believing the
while necessarily.
Her companion was found to be com.
forting her as we'll as he could by try
ing to roar louder than she did, and by
letting a half-pint tear of sympathy now
and then roll down his trunk, which
was wound tenderly about the wounded
leg of the PROSTATE beast.
Mr.. Henry G. Chapman, surgeon to
the Geological Society, was summoned.
He directed that the sufferer should be
made fast, so that she could not inter-
fere in his operation with her agita-
ton.
She was secured by ropes and thrown
on her side on bed of straw, treat
ment which evoked from her some ex-
tra efforts in the roaring line.
When DIR. Chapman began to probe
softly around the wound with lancet,
however, she showed an elephants in
stinctive respect for friend by ceasing
her believing, and holding the injured
foot perfectly still.
The operation occupied but few
minutes in it's performance. DR.. Chap
man successfully removed the fragment
of glass. stopped the flow of blood
from the wound, and in few minutes
the huge beast was again on her feet,
looking as amiable as lamb.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

SILVER CERTIFICATES IN CIRCULATION
Washington, September 15.-The silver GER
titicate bids fair TO take the place OF the
standard dollar to very great extent. In
paying out 10 per cent. OF checks in silver
deIlars the Treasurer is generally faced with
the demand for certificates in their stead.
This Is especially the case with the banks.
The banks then pay them out over their
counters the same as greenbacks. In
this way large amount OF silver certitl-
Gates have got into circulation in this city.
The silver certificate is about the same size
as the grecnback and just as convenient. 1t
passes readily in all quarters where it is
known. The experience with the silver
dollar will doubtless be the same elsewhere
as it is in this cty-the substitution for it to
a great extent of the certificate. In this way
a new form Of currency will rapidly come
into general circulation.

A NEW PROHIBITION DEVICE Columbus,
o., September 15.-The Corbin Hotel, occu-
pied by HenIy Corbin, OF Westerville, in
this county, was blown up last night by
gunpowder, and although the building was
occupied by number OF people no one but
Corbn was injured, and he not fatally. 1t
is not known who placed the powder in the
building, but Corbin asserts that it was
done by some of the villagers, and is the
outcome of his refusal to cease selling liquor
in the village. -Four years ago building
he occupied as saloon Was demolished by
gunpowder, and Corbin left the town, only
returning a short time ago, but all attempts
to arrest the guilty parties proved failures.
The damage to the hotel and numerous ad-
Joining buildings will be about 5000. The
citizens of Westerville insist that while
they favored resortinS to stringent mea-
surcs TO prevent liquor-sellins in their town
they never favored such measures as those
resorted TO last night.
