Disseciing an Elephant.

Professors and students of the Column
bia veterinary college in New York,
dragged the carcass Of the baby ele-
plant that died the day before in Gen.
trail park into their courtyard. Then
they prepared to hoist it to their dis
secting room. At nightfall they had
fitted up an incline plane, placed the
animal upon it, and adjourned for the
morrow's work.
There gathered the next day about
the body Prof. Edward @. Spitzka, DR..
Finlay, and score OF students. Before
fixing the ropes and tackling. they
stripped the monster of its skin, thereby
saving the hosting of a hundred
pounds. Singing the body upon the
table, the students prepared for the
autopsy. Two seniors, with a junior,
went with sharpened knives at the alb
domen, while Professors Spitzka and
Finlay cut and carved about the head.
When the examination was finished,
Prof. Spitzka gave an explanation of the
autopsy:
This animal was about years
old, and had not, of course, attained its
full growth. It's weight was about 800
pounds. That spongy, honeycombed-
looking bone contains the air chambers.
You notice that there are two skulls. In
the skull of the elephant that went mad
in the Royal college, Of London, 400
bullets were embedded, yet only one of
that number caused death. The only
way TO death, in my opinion, when
firing at the head, is through the eye.
"This is the brain. Its weight is
five pounds, the professor said. Plac-
ing human brain beside it, he con-
tinued: "The intellectual portion is
we'll developed. The convolutions are
more intricate than those of the human
brain. The spinal cord is not as large as
that of the horse. The trunk is rich
with nerves and muscles. The eye is
smaller than the horses. The heart,
you will notice, has two points; in that
it differs from all other animals. This
shape is seen in a marine monster,
whose shape is somewhat like to that of
the porpoise. The complex mass of
muscle on the neck, which supports the
head, is most interesting. The direct
cause of death was pulmonary conges
ton. The lungs were so congested that
they sank in water"
The hide was exhibited. The cover
ing OF the feet looked like large rub
Der shoes. The hide at this part is
more than three-quarters of an inch in
thickness.

woraA wisdom.

Truth is an immortal flower.
Tears are due to human misery.
As the heart is, so is love to the heart.
Conversation is the ventilation of the
heart.
A man may be a great scholar, and
yet great sinner.
Age respects love, but, unlike youth,
it respects little the signs of love.
The measure of choosing well is
whether man likes what he has chosen.
Hide not the truth when ye know it,
and clothe not the truth with falsehood.
Our greatest glory consists not in
never falling, but nsrisjng seyery time q
we fall.
The way to gain good reputation is
to endeavor to be what you desire to
appear.
There is no man SO great as not to
have some littleness mereppredominant
than all his greatness.
Every event that man would master
must be mounted on the run, and no
man ever caught the reins of Thought,
except as it galloped by him.
There is no vice or folly that requires
so much nicely and skill to manage as
vanity; nor any which, by ill-manage-
ment, makes so contemplate figure.
Restrain thy choler, hearken much
and speak little; for the tongue is the
instrument OF the greatest good and the
greatest evil that is done in the world.
Brave heart, arise BE free from
every Shaln, though IL lie 8htterinG
with gold !! Be nobly courageous Fol,
low the true bride of thy life, even il
her name be Sorrow. Let the shell per.
ish, that the pearl may appear.

HYDE PARK w. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1879

"My luck has changed" said Mat,
with smile. al can be spared now

Miss Bellue heard the news the same
hour. A housemaid 70 whom she had
done some little kindness ran off TO the
rectory to tell her. Miss Bellue gave
an order or two and went straight to her
fathers study.
"Pspa, Mat is stricken down."
"Bless my soul |" said the rector, in
great excitement. "Poor lad-poor

"Eh ?" and the old gentleman looked
very bewildered.
"And you must fetch Mat, explained
Miss Bellue, calmly.
BIt-but -
"He shall not be left to the nursing
of those Ignorant servants" she insist
ed, resolutely. HE shall be brought
here or 1 will assuredly go to him."
The rector had yielded to her all her
life He shook his head in perplexity.
Are you not afraid, dear?"
A peculiar smile lighted her pale,
beautiful countenance.
:" Not now"
A similar question was almost the
first one put by Mat in a convalescent
state.
"Were you not afraid, darling?"
Perfect love casteth out fear" she
reioined, softly.

The Story OF q Murder.

The case of Abe Rothschild, convicted
in Texas Of murder in the first degree,
is interesting. The story, as told in the
evidence, begins with the arrival of
Bessie Moore in Cincinnati two years
ago. She was about twenty years old
and had considerable money, but her
most noteworthy property was a large
number OF diamonds, for which she had
remarkable liking. She came to be
known as Diamond Bess. Abe Roths-
child was noted Western gambler. He
fell in love with Diamond Bess, or her
diamonds, or both, and proposed to
marry her. She several times pawned
some of her diamonds to get money for
him, but always managed to redeem
them. The pair were married about a
year ago, in Chicago. They went to
Texas on honeymoon trip, she carry
ing the diamonds carefully in her pock-
ct. They arrived at the Brooks house,
Marshall, on Jan. II, and stayed two
days. Quarreling in their room was
overheard, and Bess appeared to be de-
Tending her diamonds against seizure
by her husband. They next went to
Jefferson, where Abe registered at the
hotel under an assumed name. They
quarreled in loud and angry tones
nearly all night. On the following day
they hired a horse and wagon, filed
basket with luncheon, and started off as
though for pleasure trip into the
country. Bess acted as though afraid
of her companion. She had the dia
monds still III her pocket. Abe return
ed to the hotel at night alone, saying
that the woman had gone to visit
friends. He packed his baggage, burn
ed some papers, and returned to Oincin-
natl, where he spent most of his time
for two weeks in gambling, according to
his habit. His demeanor was erratic,
however, and he told his friends that
somebody was following him. At
length he shot himself in the head, but
not fatally. About the same time the
body of Bess was found in the Texas
woods, with bullet hole in her head.
The fragments of the luncheon were
scattered about, but the diamonds have
never been found, and it is supposed
that, being turned into money, they
were used in the long and stubborn de-
Tense of the prisoner.

MATS LUCK.

at is just my luck p said Mat.
"Confound it r.
He walked gloomily to the window
and looked out-on the vivid green of
the croquet lawn, on white and red
roses clustering about the porch on the
old rector, tending his favorite gerani-
ums in the distance, amid blaze of
sunshine and glow of color. Mat longed
to be with him-the somber room seem
ed as oppressive as a cage.
He threw open the French windows,
drew long breath, and thrust his fin
gers into the pockets of his shooting
coat, falling naturally into a careless,
lounging attitude, peculiar to him. The
fingers came in contact with note, and
idly brought it to light. 1t was ad-
dressed in a woman's handwriting, to
"Matthew Curtis, Esq, M. D." A
grim smile played about that gentle
mans lips as he reflected how unsuited
was that formal superscription to the
,ovial, reckless good-for- naught, known
to rich and poor for miles around as
young Mat Curtis.
With listless air he drew forth the
brief Enclosure. His face darkened as
he perused it.
"LMiss Agnes Bellue would be glad ia
have few minutes conversation with
Mr.. Curtis. "

with sarcastic emphasis.

dark look hardening the while, until the

How He Got Away from "a Mob.

How IS, 900 was Found In a Tree.

A treasure up tree was seen in the
watches of the night by peddler, who
was sleeping in farmhouse in the
Shenandoah valley. He told his dream
to the farmer next morning, and on
three successive nights he had the same
vision. Then he prevailed on the farmer
to accompany him to the forest, where
be pointed out large oak tree as the
one he had seen in his dream. It was
apparently sound at the butt, but about
twenty feet up a limb had been broken
off, The farmer did not feel like humor-
ing what he supposed to be supersti-
tious whim, but the old fellow seemed
to have confidence in his vision, and
offered him one-half the spoils if he
would help him cut down the tree.
When the tree fell, there was a rattle of
coin near where the limb had been
broken off, and small hollow was found
there. By little chopping larger
cavity was found, and within was mass
of silver. Both seemed wild with de-
light, and on counting up found that the
pile amounted to $4,000. The peddler
expressed his unwillingness to carry
around SO much silver in his pockets,
and inquired where he would be likely
to get greenbaoks for his share, The
farmer, having considerable money in
his house, Immediately transferred to
the peddler 80, 500 in paper money and
took charge of the entire lot Of silver.
The peddler disappeared, and when his
partner attempted to pass some of the
silver, lol it was counterfeit. He wat
