An Elephants Hsevenges
fCincinnati Enquirer.

The account of the death of poor
John King, the trainer OF the animals
in John Robinson's circus, appeared in
our dispatches day or two since. The
, sad affair happened ut Charlotte, N. g.
King was experimenting the unloading
aof the beasts, and stood alongside the
heavy foot-bridge which leads from the
car to. the ground, when Chief, the
vicious elephant which has caused SO
much trouble stepped upon the bridge,
and, as he came alongside King, struck
him with his trunk, hurting him
against the side of the car.
Poor King had only time to cal ont

elephant, and the animal that has
acted as sort Of police officer for the
show, when Chief was again on him,
sjamming his head against the car,
crushing his skull as easily as man

thumb and finger And now ensued a
scene which, when tie motive is con-
sidered, was probably never equaled in
this country, If in any other
An eyewitness related to Uncle John
Robinson last night, that SO soon as
Mary heard her beloved keeper call
her name, she started on run toward
him, and arrived iustas the Chief was
abont to tramp upon all that was left
OF the hapless King. Then. with the
frenzy OF a mother ct the sight of her
slain child, the infnriated female as
sailed her yicious companion. She
rolled her ponderons trunk under her
lower jaw, making the upper part of it
form projectile as formidable as an
old Roman battering ram, and then
approaching within o few yards of
Chief, reared slightly on her hind legs
and plunged forward, striking the
vicious brute with such terrific force as
to send him rolling on the ground.

There is one species OF sscrccy-t that
relating TO the careful supervision OF
confidential public documents. books
printed for secret societies, and the au-
thorship Of articles or pamphlets, as III
ready referred to, which has been most
honorably maintained. When treaties
nre prematnrely published IN newspa-
pers the copy is obtained from some
ieaky or venai official, and not from any
Of the printers who set mp Or work off
the original. i a case of this kind oc-
curred q year or two ago, wherein con-
vention between this country and an
other power was revealed to une of the
evening newspapers. In the Foreign
ONCE, at Whitehall, there is % regular
staff Of printers always at work, and If
these men liked they might let ont Sc
crets of the most momentous kind, any
one Of which would, perhaps, in these
days of journalistic competition, be
worth a few hundred pounds. But such
4 dereliction OF duty has never yet oc-
! CURED; 1t was clerk. and not com
positor, who betrayed his trust.
Most honorable to the profession is
the story of Harding, the printer, who
l,ravefy bore imprisonment rather than
reveal the authorship OF the celebrated
sDrapier7 letters. The printer sat in
his cell calmly refusing the entreaties
of his friends to divulge the name OF the
writer, Dean Swift, a church magnate,
and q great wit. who dressed himself in
the disguise OF a low Irish peasant, and
sat by, listening to the noble refnsalaEd
the tender opportunities, only anxious
that no word or glance from the unfor
tunate printer should reveal the secret.
Swift was bent solely upon securing his
own safety at the expense Of the printer:
he covered before the legal danger
which Harding boldly confronted. The
world has nneqnally allotted the need
of fame TO the two combatants. The
wit and the printer both fought the bat
tie for the liberty Of the press, until the
sense of an outraged community re-
leased the typographer from the peril
so nobly encountered.
There is also the allegiance which
printers pay to their chief, in not d.
vuIging important intelligence. Insome
cases compositor is necessarily in
trusted with an item of news which
WOulu DC SuS3OtihbI5 filuuAcHiatSiy, anu
worth pounds to him. Seldom or ever
is there betrayal OF trust in this way.
Tho examination papers, printed SO ex
tensively in London, are OF the most
tremendous importance to certain
classes, who would pay almost any sum
to obtain the toughest proof the night
before An instance of this kind oc-
CURED qnite recently. A printer was
'sgot at, and promised considerable
amount OF money for rough proof,
What was his course of action? He
simply informed the authorities, and
the tempter was punished. 1t was an
other and creditable example of how
well and honorably kept are the secrets
OF the printing Office.

Mrs. Partington was indeed in the assemblage.
There was momentary lull in the buzz of
conversation, and the party gathered around
the newcomer, eager to shake her by the hand.
