The Washington Post has an interesting
article on the American Song Writer" and
we are compelled to say that II omits the COM
positions Of the Philadelphia poet. our dis
tinguished friend. q. WASHINGTON CHILDs, A.
NJ We dare say this omission may have oc-
Cured because OF the prevailing sadness Of Mr..
CHLDss poems The editor Of the Post prefers.
ms he has right to prefer. the gay and the spark
ling in lteraturo and yet we submit that It
would be more just not altogether TO overlook
the productions OF n man Of genius because
they relate to solemn and even to mourniul
themes. especially when they all breathe the
spirit Of sincere hope. Indeed. It Is not too
much to declare that the lyric bard who most
touches the heart Of the people is. beyond
doubt. the accomplished editor and rich and
philanthropic proprietor Of tho Philadelphia
Ledger.
Let the T0si make a note OF this fact and not
ignore it in the future.

Congress makes haste slowly. Tho lead

whether there shall be- general legislation. and
business is consequently at q standstill. The

When the victorious Zuus had pursued
some fugitiycs from the conquered camp at
lsandua 10 the river which divides Zululand
from Natal and were about to cross the stream.
the Zulu General shouted with great voice:
" He tthe KING has not said that you are to
cross. Ho is not invading; he is defending the
land Of his own people only. Don't cross. Como
back" Tho soldiers obeyod their leader. and
tho fugitives wero saved. This statement is
from u trustworthy narrative of the battle and
pursuit given by native allies OF tho British.
and shows that the Zulus while resisting for
eign aggression, restrain themselves from re-
taliatlng upon the aggressors. How few civil
ized commanders would have stopped like the
so-callod savage Zulu at the boundary of
hostile land

Whether 1t is necessary or desirable that
elephants should be brought to this country is
n question which we do not now caro- TO argue.
But 50 long as they are brought here. every
necessary precaution must be taken to prevent
them from killing people. II experience has
shown that the only effectual way Of subduing
these huge beasts when the wearisomeness Of
captivity makes them ugly and crazy is to
scorch their trunks with a red hot iron, then
their trunks must be scorched. The life Of
man is. after all. Of more importance than the
personal comfort Of n beast no matter how big
he may be- Even Mr.. BERGH. upon considera-
ton. will admit that,
Still the punishment is revolving one. and
should never be inflicted when milder means
will avail.
