Pooling With an Elephant.

An elephant constituted the great
attraction of a travelling menagerie
that arrived at Amsterdam a few
weeks ago, and was permitted to camp
out in one of the public gardens there.
An old gentleman, inspired by the
elephants amiable expression of
eountenance, with the conviction that
he would stand any amount of teas
ing, proceeded to offer tempting lump
of bread to the animal, deity with
drawing it, however, beyond the reach
of the elephants trunk each time that
receptacle was thrust forth to grasp it.
This jocular performance having been
repeated several times, the elephant
suddenly stepped forward close to his
side Of the railing, seized his torment.
or's body in his trunk, lifted him
clean over the barrier interposing be.
tween them, and hurled him to the
ground. Having got.his enemy down,
he trod upon him with such vindictive
vehemence that when the old gentle
mar was finally got outofthe enclosure
he was dead.

Meeting at Glendale with the Mobile

cient officer, is her chief clerk, and
has for his assistants Messrs. Platt
Rhodes, Arthur Brown and Mr.. Dal-
lam, all clever gentlemen and accom-
mOdating clerks.
The New Orleans Times, of Wed.
nesday, says: Last November one
Charles Smith, a roustabout on the
steamer Laura Lee, while rolling a
bale of cotton to the boat, through his
own carelessness allowed the bale to
run over him, and he was slightly
injured. Captain Lee did all he could
to mitigate the mans ~sutferings, had
him well attended to, brought him to
the city, paid him wages for full time,
as the other men, who had worked all
the time. The man left the boat SEEM
ingly satisfied. But bad advisers were
at work, and he demanded several
months wages from the boat, and also
damages, which Captain Lee declined
to pay, when Smith, through lawyer
Dibble. brought suit against the boat
in the United States District Court,
Judge Billings, for damages. A few
days ago it was tried, and a just YER
dict rendered in favor of the boat, the
plaintiff to pay all costs. Therefore
we say crow once more, for justice is
not blind"

FrOude on South Africa.

London correspondence Of G. W.
Smalley, to the New York Tribune (:
Mr.. Froude is lecturing in Edinburgh
to audiences Of 1000 people on South
Africa beginning with the pregnant
remark that the English have lately
killed about 10000 persons in that
part of the world who had done them
no harm, but who, it was feared, might
do some harm if not preventively
killed off out of the way. Mr.. Froude
is an advocate of an aristocratic sys-
tenn Of society, but he has never car
ried his theories to the extent of sup
porting the outrages for which Sir
Bartle Frere first and the Govern
ment afterward are responsible in
South Africa. He has been there,
has studied the questions on the spot
and has ever since been the determin-
ed opponent of English policy
as applied to the natives and to Beers.
Of the annexation of the Transvaal, a
country as large as France, he says
Nobody knows exactly why we did
it." The seizing of the Diamond
Fields, whether a crime or not, was a
blunder. England has q%uarreled
with two free republics, e~xasperated
the whole Dutch population of South
Africa at the moment when their
friendship was most important. en-
tangled herself in complications with
the natives beyond the Orange river,
broken the treaty to which her faith
was pledged, damaged her reputation
and gained not one compensating ad-
vantage. These views r expressed,
not for the first time, by Mr.. Proud,
with all the authority of his name and
knowledge. They are not Of a kind
complimentaryto his country. yet they
remain thus far without answer; or
with so much of an answer as consists
in saying that England has a mission;
that the Katirs are niggers, and that
the Beers are not much better,

In the local finances there is no fea-
ture Of an exciting nature, except the
interest naturally felt by all in the
recent extensive operations in railway
securities. There is no end to the
comments and surmises on this mo-
mentous subject, TWAS thought that
speculation in Louisville and MASKS
vile stock would dwindle, and that
prices would shrink after the big
boom Of Monday last, but on yester-
day, according to dispatches from
New York, the stock went up to S127
per share, S. higher than at any pre-
vious time. 1t dropped back to $126
at the close of the day. The stock of
the Nashville and Chattanooga road
vibrated between 764a80, opening at
the latter and shrinking to the former.
but closing at 78i. What it all means,
or how long the excitement will con-
tinue, is at present merely conjectural.
All classes Of railway securities are,
however, strong, and tend toward
higher prices. Mercantile paper offers
In this market in small volumes, the
bank and insurance discount rates
