A Hancock Boom Desired.


There is not a man who has been men
toned in connection with the Presidency
who carries more weight, in the way of
personal character, capacity and fitness,
than General Hancock. He is honest,
incorruptible, and, though reared in the
army, has some conception of the Con-
stitution, and if elected would make
that sacred instrument the rule of his
action. Just after the war, when the
country was in state bordering on chaos,
and when the best of our public men
held loose views in regard to the Govern
ment, General Hancock had the oppor-
tunity offered him of becoming the cham
pion of the Constitution, and he en-
braced it in way that endeared him to
the people of the South. His whole
career, during as well as since the war,
marks him as man who can be safely
intrusted with any Office to which he
may aspire. An Administration at this
time with such man at the head of it
would restore confidence to the country,
would obliterate the last remaining YES
tige of civil strife, and would make the
Union what it was designed to be by its
founders-a Union of equal States. If it
is possible to get up Hancock boom, we
would be glad to see the thing accom-
plished. The nomination of Hancock
would create more enthusiasm, especially
in the South, than that of any man in
the United States.

A New Tribute to American Greatne,

Those faint-hearted people, if such
there be, who have ever doubted the re-
sources of this great country of oRrs
which happened in Philadelphia this
week; while those foreigners who have
sneered at Mr.. Gladstone's hopeful
prophecies about the capabilities of this
nation viii be discomfhd d by the an
nouncement OF the appearance, in the
city mentioned, of queer-looking, little
Newfoundland dog, with a trunk 80
of being called valise, running at
about in very absurd manner. 1t is
fed with funnel and rubber tube.
The mothers name is Hebe, and she is
black Asiatic elephant % years of age
Her contribution to the elephant census
of the United States is to be made the
subject of scientific investigation; for
it is the greatest compliment an ele-
phant ever paid to a civilized COM
munity. 1t has been an axiom of natu-
lalists and the circus business that such
an event was wholly impossible; that
elephants in captivity decline to take
the responsibility of bringing offspring
into world of sawdust, canvas tents
and gigantic whitewash tubs on which
they are required to stand in painful
positions. But even the elephants have
learned that in this land of liberty and
equal rights birth-right.is is privilege
and that captivity in a republic is s
very different thing from captivity un
der an efete despotism; that there is NJ
reason why a well-behaved and indus
; trious elephant should not grow up will
ths country, get aclimatized and accus
toned to free institutions, and swim,
himself in the brick stables of civiliza
ton. as well as he used to in the junglel
of his barbaric origin.
The birth of baby elephant Oh
, American soil, the first ever known Oh
, any soil foreign to its habitat, prove
, beyond all question the superiority o
| this country over the nations of Europ
| in the inducements it offers, and the in
t fuence it exerts, in respect to those re
/ sponsibilities which elephants have u
, to this time always refused to take.

The Awful Famine In Persia.

Ireland and China are not the only
countries where human beings are
perishing for food and where pestilence
stalks on the heels of starvation. From
beautiful Persia, whose very name sug-
gests images of luxury and beauty,
gardens of roses and ropes of pearls,
there come accounts of the most harrow
ing distress. Mr.. Cochran, an American
Missionary who has lived for thirty
years in Spain, writes to Rev. A. 81.
Plumb, of Boston, that the throngs of
wasted and famishing beings that daily
besiege the missonaries' doors are ap-
palling. No help is afforded by the
government. The starving 60 to the
slaughter-houses and catch and drink
the blood. Many have sold all they had
for bread, parting with valuables for a
mere song. A bushel of coarse wheat
meal sold for 500, January 7, while in
the former famine it never went above
50. Barefooted multitudes tread the
frozen streets, having parted with all
but few rags, which offer an apology
for clothing. Parents are selling their
children for slaves: many men have
fed, no one knows whittier to avoid see-
