A correspondent of the Lucknow
Times writes: LAST Monday the city
Of Fyzabad had fine sport. A mad ele-
plant, u splendid old tusker, found his
way into Fyzabad. On his route he
destroyed large quantities Of grain,
which lay piled up on the sides Of the
road, overthrow several carts and ekkas
and is said to have killed several men.
l can only vouch for the death Of ole
man, n fakir, whose dead body l saw
carried away to be thrown into the riv-
er, who, although warned would not in
his foolhardiness get out of the excited
animals way. A blow from one of the
ponderous feet crushed the life out of
the poor man at once. Soon the news
Of his doings fled Though the station
like wildfre, and hundreds Of natives
sailed out to see him, with and without
old guns and bludgeons. Their yelling
made him raving mad and lie f~uriously

saved some Of them, but for his move

iron chain, which vas round one Of his
legs, and which constantly entangled It

the Kotwcl had sen for n few expert

commissariat, and for two jowaree cam

to capture him by driving him into a
bagh in which a network Of iron chains
and strong ropes had been prepared to
entrap and secure him. After a con-

The friends of Hancock have sought
to spread the impression that Gen.
Webb favored the democratic candidate
and that his SILENCE in the canvas
should be so construed. He now
breaks that silence to say that, while he
respects Hancock rs n soldier, he does
not think that he is fitted for the presi.
cency, and he also lays bare the demo-
cratic claim that Hancock deserves the
credit of the victory of Gettysburg; but
his chief objection to Hancock is that
he Is n straw candidate Of the ..solid
SOUTH" which hopes, with the aid OF n
puppet president and an enlarged SUI
preme court, to gain more than it lost
by the war and to reimburse itself for
the cost of the rebellion. ou. of the na-
tional treasury.

soils recent lecture, "What Shall I do

The naval demonstration hangs fire,
and Europe anxiOusly watches every
movement Of the parties struggling
over the cessiOn Of a wTetched Asiatic
village; but everyone knows It is not
the intrinsic value Of Duleigno that has
brought the power Of united Europe to
bear in the matter. What is now hap
pening at Duleigno is but a sample Of
what will take place on a larger scale
on the frontiers Of Greece, and Of what
may involve the most sanguinary CONT
mental war since Waterloo, should the
rebellious elements stirred up by the
Turks TO thwart the will Of Europe.

The result OF the Dulcigno struggle

Should the northern Albanians be COM
PEELED 10 yield, probably Greece may
obtain peaceful possession OF the slice
Of territory awarded her. II, on the
contrary, both Dulcigno and Janina
have to lie wrested by force, then 1t is a
measurable distance TO the time when
the two great Slavic powers, Russia
and Austria, must o their armies
down TO settle definitely the future Of
the Balkan peninsula.
