At the celebrated Eastern Circus
Orozi, recently performing at Pesth,
the attendant was started from sleep
by the elephants rising to their feet
and trumpeting in a shrill tone, sig
nifcant of great mental agitation.
Looking around in the dark to see if
some stray dog or cat had got admit
tance, he discovered a stranger with a
dark lantern attempting 10 enter the
property room adjoining. Without a
moments hesitation, he loosed the big
gest of the three elephants, who
marched solemnly out upon the would
be burglar, seized him by one arm
with his potent trunk, and held him
fast until the police, whom the atten>
dant had promptly fetched from a
neighboring station, came up and took
the elephants prisoner, who had in
the meantime swooned with fright, in
to custody. Having consigned him to
the authorities, "Kiraly," like vir-
tuOus citizen, returned to sleep, con-
scious of having done his duty.

A susceptible young man was Tilted

A susceptible young man was Tilted
at Charlotte, n. c. He went to a
house where the girl was spending
the evening with a party of her own
sex, and asked to see her. She re-
fused him an interview, and he could
not even get into the house. He de-
clared that he did not desire to live
longer, and Mas going to kill himself,
then and there. The girls came out
on the doorsteps and said they were
ready to witness the suicide. Then
he drew a knife, made a feint of stab
bing himself, fell on the grass, writhed
as though in death agony, and scream
ed at the top af his voice. By thus
frightening the girls he might have
gone away with flying colors had they
not, as a restorative, drenched him
with pals of ice water.

RAILWAY RACKET,

The ON ensborossand Nashville road,
it is thought will be finished by the
1st of January.
Efforts are beiugssmade to extend
the McMinnville and Manchester road
from McMinnville to Caney Fork
river, thirteen miles.
The Railroad Gazette says that
1,476 miles of railroad have been made
in the United States thus far this year,
against GA in 1875.
We are informed the lumber is now
being sawed to erect a new depot on
the lot recently purchased by the rail-
road company in the east end of town.
The building is to be 30x100 feet,
with platform of S0x200 feet, and two
waiting rooms for passengers. The
house will be finished this fall.-Hun-

Superintendent James Geddes, of
the Louisville Il Nashville d Great
Southern railroad, has issued the fol-
lowing order, which will be endorsed
by all railroad men and people alike ::
"Any one reported using intoxicating
liquors while on duty, or carrying it
on the trains or engines. will be dis
charged from the service of the COM
pany. Any one not wishing to work
under this order will please send in
his resignation, as the rule will be en-
forced in every case"
Brownsville States: Mr.. George
Mcfarland, the section boss who was
thrown from a hand-car on the L. d
n. Railroad last Friday, died Tuesday
from injuries received from the fall.
As stated.last week the car was thrown
off by a brick which some one had
carefully placed on the track. The
name of the party, who has thus taken
the life of an innocent and honest old
man, is yet unknown. We trust the
investigation will be continued, and
that the perpetrator of so he.nous a
deed may not excape the penalty of
the law.

Worth Remembering.

Some very interesting experiments
were conducted at the New Hamp-
shire Agricultural College during the
winter of 1878 and 1879, the result
of which may be of some value to
western farmers. The experiments,
very carefully and accurately carried
on, were ten in number, hut we will
here only take time to mention few
of them. Three methods of curing
corn were investigated. Weights at
harvesting and in the spring were
taken, and the milk product from
stocked, topped, and corn matured on
the hill, noted. The result was IA
vorable to stocked corn; the poorest
results being obtained from topped
corn.
Of the feeding experiments, cotton
seed meal gave better results than
corn meal, when fed with corn fodder.
When corn meal was fed in compari-
son with bran, the results of a long
series of experiments showed that
corn meal makes slightly more milk
and from fifteen to twenty per cent.
more butter, and of better quality
than that made from bran, the
amount of bran and meal fed having
the same money value. Swedish
turnips proved to have a value of
little over six cents a bushel when fed
to steers. Eastern cob meal was not
found equal to Western clear meal as
food, but Eastern clear meal was found
superior to Western clear meal. East
ern cob meal, seven and a half pounds
daily per COW, was found to give more
milk than Eastern clear meal, six
pounds daily per COW, but less butter.
Middlings were found more valuable
than corn or corn meal for growing
pigs. One hundred pounds of mil
dlings gave 29.2 pounds growth; 100
pounds of corn meal gave only 4.S
pounds growth.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
The Boom in the Iron Trade
and its Meaning.
Special to the Courier-Journal.

New YORK, Sept. 8.-That the
business boom in the iron trade is not
a fiction is attested by the fact that
circulars sent to the chief IRON working
firms of this vicinity, asking them to
bid on the work done for the new War,
State and Navy Department build
ings, elected answers to the effect
that the firms have on hand more
work than they can now conveniently
do, and that it will be impossible to
perform the service asked by the Gov
ernment in the allotted time. Inquiry
at the Cornell and the Delamater Iron
Works here, the two largest in the
city, elected the reply that they are
running all the employees that can
work with facility, and most of them
are working extra hours. In other
places the answer was practically the
same-that the iron-working industry
is again in its best, and has all it can
do to fill orders. The Hon. A. S.
Hewitt said that the revival in this
branch was not to be doubted. He
regarded it as a most hopeful sign of
the times; for iron becomes brisk, not
before, but after general increase in
business in other industries. 1t was
a sort of pulse of commerce. He ad-
ded that there had been no fear of
difficulty in getting supplies. Last
year, 100000 tons of pig iron were
produced. If all the mills of the
country were put in operation, 1000,
900 tons might be turned out. The
low price of iron and steel in England
holds prices somewhat in check, Mr..
Hewitt was positive that the business
boom had begun in teal earnest, and
had come to stay. He detected its
approach year ago, and it had been
increasing ever since.

The Mammoth Cave Sold.

From the Lexington Press we learn
that company of Eastern capitalists
purchased the Mammoth Cave on
Saturday, and will proceed at once to
put it in the best possible condition to
make.its great wonders accessible, and
to be seen under the best conditions.
The railroad from Glasgow junction
will be completed to the cave, the
hotel and surroundings put in the f.
nest order, the entrance to the cave
made convenient, the routes made easy
and secure, and such other facilities
for thorough exploration as will make
a trip through it matter of pleasure
instead of a pilgrimage of penance as
heretofore. The price paid was 5000,
600; much less than its value to the
purchasers and much more than its
value under the old management.

H enphis' Trade.

1t is now generally conceded that
this second visitation of yellow fever
will ruin Memphis prospects for the
cotton trade, at least that part of it
which comes from West Tennessee.
In view of this fact, Louisville and St
Louis are sparing no pains to induce
such trade to 90 them, and we wonder
at the apathy of the usually live busi-
ness men of Nashville upon this SUBJ
iect. The amount of cotton heretofore
shipped to Memphis from the western
portion of West Tennessee is almost
as much as all that goes to Nashville
from any source, and now that it is
bound to seek another market it is
strange that Nashville does not offer
some inducements for it to come there.
The best plan for her to pursue would
be at once to lend substantial aid to
the construction of the Tennessee
Central Railroad, thus offering di-
rect and convenient route to a good
market. As it is, the millions of dol
lars worth of the staple now raised
here will find a market elsewhere, and
of course enrich the towns where it is
sold. The most Insignificant trades
man in Nashville would be benefited
by the completion of this road,-Hun-
tiIagdon Vihdicator.

A COunterfeiter Arrested.

For over two years past it has been
known in this county that some per-
sons we're circulating counterfeit mon
ey in the southern part of the county.
Suspicion has rested on one Chas. H.
Patrick for some months oast, but
until lately no evidence could be found
sufficient to cause his arrest. Messrs
Galbraith Il Bro, of Center Point
have spent considerable money in en>
deavoring TO ferret out the law-break-
ers. They had a man employed as a
detective for over two months. This
man has shadowed Patrick and has
found out beyond doubt that he is
the guilty person. On Tuesday last
Mr.. |. n. Galbraith with the help of
Deputy Sheriff Robt. Criner, and 9th.
ers, arrested G. II. Patrick, at his
homenear Center Point. They brought
him to Lexington. On Wednesday
morning Patrick waived examination
and his trial was continued until Sat-
urday. Patrick employed Mr.. Levi
S. Woods as his counsel. Mr.. John
M. Taylor has been employed by the
prosecutors. Patrick has been circu-
lating a great many halves and quar-
ters in this county. The most expe-
rienced persons have failed to detect a
flaw in the money of this gentleman's
make. 1t is as perfect half dollar
as the New Orleans mint turns out
and it Is very hard matter to dis
tinguish them apart. 1t is thought
that some very interesting de7elope-
ments will be made before the close
of the trial We await future devel-
opements.-Lerinqton Neaus.
