Elephants from CeyIOn.

N. Y. Herald
An elephantine trade on a heavy
scale is announced as Just springing up
between New York and the distant
island of Ceylon-that most lovely
gem of the Indian ocean. This is the
importation of the elephas Indicus,
three splendid specimens of which
are now in Boston awaiting transpor-
tation to this city. These elephants,
which are claimed to be the largest of
their species that have ever been
brought either to Europe or America,
reached Boston on the steamer Hansa,
consigned to Messrs. Charles Reiche
& Brother, of New York, who brought
them from their home in the queen Of
the spice islands. They were shipped
from Ceylon to Hamburg, and thence
to London, where the Hansa received
them. They are reported to be all
very large; but the largest of the three
is magnificent fellow, ten feet in
height at the shoulders and twelve
feet over all. The gigantic brutes are
quite tame, having long undergone
the repressive influences of a strict
training in CeylOn. So docile are
they that at the word of command
they will lie down and raise huge
foot for the keeper to mount. Mr..
Frederick Ditzel, who is charged with
the task of bringing these monster
qualrupeds from Boston here, says
that he may have to march them all
the way, as the railroad freight cars
could not carry them. Besides this,
some of the bridges are not sufficient
ly lofty to allow the imposing strangers
to pass under them. Mr.. Diizel will
try to get some steamer to find stand
ing room for them on her deck. In
this case the beasts would have to
make the difficult ocean passage out
side of Cape Cod. Each Of the
strangers is valued at SIS, 900, but it is
to be understood that they are not
white elephants.

What the Cotton Exposition Will
Atlanta Constitutional

Atlanta Constitutional
Few Of our citizens have the slight
est conception OF what this exposition
is going to be, and without details we
will give some of the points that will
ioreshado S what the exposition will
be.
To begin with over $1,000 feet of
space in the exposition hall have al
ready been actually taken. and appli-
cation for as much more space arc al.
ready in. Besides this, new applica-
tons are coming daily, and Mr.. Kim
ball is assured that every ffooott 81 avail avail
able space in every building will be
taken and filled
Mr.. Kimball laughed at the sur
prise expressed that seventy five or
one hundred girls were coming here
with one exhibitor. Said he: Il try
to keep careful account of the mum
Der Of persons to be brought here as
employees by exhibitors, and there are
enough in sight now to Justify me in
saying that there will be over 5000
persons brought here in the services of
the exhibitors"
As to the exhibition Mr.. Kimball
said in frabics, machinery. and all
that the exposition proposes to cover,
it will be vastly superior to the Cen
tennial. Mr.. Howard Atkinson has
in charge the getting together of hand
made frabics, and he says that he
will have the finest collections of such
things ever made on earth. 1t will
cover frabics from every part Of the
globe"
One of the most enterprising exhib-
its will be made by the Atchison, To
peka and Kansas Railroad. The off
GERS ofthis company were here yester-
day, and they say that they will sur
pass the exhibit they made at the
Centennial.
The Willamette Company, which
will exhibit in connection with the
Lowell machine shops company. will
show the process Of making spool cot
ton from the seed cotton up. In all
they will have 200 employees here.
The Clark Company paid 800 for its
floor space alone and as this has been
returned to it. it will be put in their
exhibit. A leading tea house of Bal
timore is having China papoda
built in China at a cost of several
thousand dollars and will make a fine
display.

IS IT POssIBLEI

The Memphis LEDGER olemnly an
nounces that it will never favor a set.
Element of the State debt on a basis
higher than 500. The LEDGER. we
believe, has opposed every settlement
yet ST rested. To be consistent, it
should, like an old friend of ours
once, who was asked whom he favored
for the United States Senate vice An
drew Johnson deceased, replied to
the small party of inquirers. Just
name your man, gentleman, and | am
against him" To be consistent. the
LEDGER should set back strong upon
its reserved right to oppose everything
proposed. Such has been, and there
is reason to believe will be, the policy
OF Its faction so long as there remains
a hope Of obstruction and consequent
Aviation. This is about all the cap
Nj the crowd the LEDGER helps to
lead have ever invested il the question
opposition oppOsition opposition!
that's all. No straightforward policy
no bold declaration of purpose, no
plain assertion Of a proposition has
ever characterized the obstructionists
Hence the conclusion is inevitable
that reputation, plain and simple is
the real object behind all the froth and
wind Of their defamation. But the
LEDGER weakens the position Of its
faction, and exposes itself to cross
lire by prOclalming that it will never
favor any settlement higher than
Bob. The strength Of the game with
the obstructionists and regulators is
indehniteness, in being non commit
tai as TO basis Of settlement, in vap:e-
ness and glittering generalities. Bv
this means they hold the actual re-
pudiator fast, and keep we'll I'D in the
line Of that class who are too consei-
entious TO swallow repud ion straight
but are ready to drain the cup If a
little water and sweetening is added in
the shape Of the so-called State
debt proper. 1t is true that the
LEDGER S proposition savors strongly
Of the usual characteristics of its co.
leaders in obstruction when edgine
upon the ragged edge of a declaration
of policy, it is not absolutely definite.
The LEDGER says it will never favor
a higher basis of settlement than 80 3
but it does not exactly commit itsel
to that figure. Still the fair inferenct
is that the LEDGER does now. that it /,
too late, actually favor a settlement o.
the State debt at 50-3. Hence The
LEDGER has weakened its faction anc
exposed itself to the criticism and sus
pieion Of its supporters. For doe
not our esteemed contemporary know
that 50-3 two years hence will be 4
less favorable settlement for the peo
pie than 80 4 would have been two
years ago. The growth Of the deb
since opportunities TO settle at So
were offered-which opportunities the
LEDGER helped to defeat-has been
such as would make a settlement al
SO by the next Legislature more
burdensome than the 50-4 would have
been had the LEDGER and its faction
not defeated that figure during Gov
Perters administration and again
since. The LEDGER is not ingenious.
Like all the leaders in its faction, il
IS either without well defined policy
