The Fate Of the Giraffe.
NelC York Tribune.

One morning before the Show opened,
the Ring Master laid before the Animals
a Letter from the Giraffe, who said that
in consequence of the Treatment he had
received he felt compelled to leave the
Show. Before the Excitement over this
Announcement had subsidized, the Ring
Master SAID he had Letter from one of
the Trick Mules, who also withdrew from
the Show. At this there was little
Squirming among the Snakes. and one,
Copperhead, spoke up: ''Looks as
though the Show was breaking up" and
Fellow who had been kicked out once
and crept in again under the Canvas, and
was wanting to be appointed Scene
Shifter, said: 'It's a Cold Day for this
Show when it gets left by that Noble
Animal the Giraffe. To say nothing of
the Trick Mule" The Show, however,
went on, and the Giraffe and the Trick
Mule went away and waited for the
Manager to send for them. After many
days, curiosity as to what would become
of the Circus gave way to solicitude for
the Giraffe and Trick Mule.
A Committee being sent out learned
that the Trick Mule had hired out on the
Tow Path, but that the Giraffe, having
never done Anything Useful, sought
Employment in Vain until Village En-
gine Company utilized him as Fire
Escape, in which position he was able to
do for Others what he never could do for
himself-let them down easy.
Moral-No one Animal, or even two,
can break up Whole Show.

of the whole South. The old South has

FRANCE AND TUNIS.


ROME, May 23.-Garibaldi has written an
other letter on the Tunisian question, in
which he says that the French treaty with
the Bey effaces his good opinion of the
French republic, which he has served. He
reminds France of the sacrifice that Italy
made in yielding Nice. He says the con-
duct of France may compel the Italians to
remind her that Nice aud Corsica are as
much French as the writer is Tartar.
Italy, he says, should demand the complete
independence of Tunis.
A dispatch from Constantinople states
that the Ministers had decided to depose
the Bey of Tunis, but on learning that
France had undertaken to protect him they
abandoned their intention.
TUNIs, May 23.-General Bakoush, the
Tunisian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
resigned.

LONDON, May 23.-The Constantinople
correspondent of the Times says he has re-
ceived from trustworthy source confrma-
tion of the report that Prince Alexander,
OF Bulgaria, intends conVoking a great
National Assembly probably for July 18th.

thinks the number of Deputies in
the ordinary Assembly should be
diminished by one-half, and that
all officials should be excluded from the
Assembly. He also desires the creation of a
Senate, the members of which shall be
partly nominated by himself, and that all
laws should pass through the Senate before
being submitted to the Chamber of Deputies.
The Prince has received addresses from all
parts of the principalitY promising support.

There has been another frightful scene
as the fruit of gambling at Monte Carlo.
Two young Italians, brothers, had lost
every penny they possessed at the tables
there, and they have just committed
suicide by throwing themselves under
an approaching train of cars at San
Reno, Italy. The association which has
been formed to suppress gambling at
Monte Carlo. and of WHICH the Lord
Mayor of London is President, will
now, it is hoped, make fresh exertions
to fulfill the object of its existence, and
this in spite of the contrary efforts of
Mr.. Labouchere of the London Truth,
who seem to think gambling a very
pretty form of relaxation, and one
that on no account should be interfered
with.

CONKLiNG'S COUP.

What is Thought of tho designations.
WASHINGTON, May 1G.-When the news
of the designations # Senators COnkling
and Platt reached the treasury de-
partmcnt to- day great excitement en-
sued, and officials and subordinates alike
were soon gathered in groups throughout
the building discussing the situation and
its probable effect. The theory which has
been advanced that the senators who re-
signed are quite confident of being re-
turned by the New York Legislature,
is very generally accepted, but in
some quarters it is maintained
that on account of the Legislature having
heretofore cndorsd the nomination of
Robertson to be collector Of the port of
New York, it cannot consistently endorse
the action of the two senators in opposing
it. This course, however, it is conceded
by prominent Republicans can easily be
brought about.
All sorts Of rumOrs arc aflOat regarding
other designations which are to follow,
Vice Vresident Arthur, Attorney General
MacVeagh and Postmaster General James
being among those mentioned in this coll
ncctiOn. There is, however, no apparent
foundation for the reports.
Secrt tary Window called at the execu-
tive mansion shortly after o'clock and has
been there since. President Garfield was
apprised Of the contemplated designations
this morning and remarked to q treasury
official shortly before 12 o'clock that lie
expected the news to arrive mOmentarily.
The resignation of the senators is til G
topic of conversation at the hotels an d
other public places, and large grOurs Of
men may he seen on the street corners d is
cussing the affair in an excited manner.

rested recently in Lima by the Chilian
military authorities and held 4 close pris-
oner for 25 hours. lie was released only
after energetic representations OH the
part of Mr.. st. John, the English minis
ter resident. The only crime alleged
against Mr.. Ford was that Picrola had
addressed him personal letter which was
intercepted and fell into Chilian hands.
