The mother of the baby elephant at
Bridgeport is sick, and the only elephant
doctor in The country has been ummoned
from New York to dose her. 1t requires
good deal of strategy AS well as medi
cal skill to doctor elephants. When an
elephant is well it will take almost any
thing; but when unwell it is obstinate
The method employed to get oil down
Hebe's throat was to suspend the bottle
above her with a long rubber tube inser
ted in her mouth. She kept her teeth
firmly closed upon the hose until the
operation Of breathing caused her TO re
lax her grip, and then little of the liquid
would run down. This performance was
repeated at nearly regular intervals until
the whole bottle was emptied The entire
operation consumed about an hour and a
half.

If the door be shut, God will open
another; if the peas do not yield we'll the
beans may. if one hen leaves her eggs,
another will bring all the brood there's a

dry spot for contentment to get its foot on

The death of Lieut.. Archibald Gibson at
st: Louis, recently from Inflammation of
the brain, was traceable to "A singular
cause. One day while on parade at West
Point, spider got into one of his ears.
BY the rule he was not allowed to raise
his hand, and stood in the ranks more than
an hour. When dismissed his ear was full
of blood, and the insect could not be re-
moved for two days.

vanity has prompted him to give
very full accounts Of his life. He
keeps his health very well, though
showing signs Of continued i'm
prlsonment. His treatment has not
been altered from the first. He is
confined in a cell, so placed that
communication with the world is
entirely shut off, and the keepers
are under strict orders to say nothing
to him beyond what is necessary.
He is not anxious to have greater
liberty. He seems to be afraid his
person is III danger, and could hardly
be induced to 60 down to the
warden's Office the other day, to get
bcSter facilities for dietation, lest it
mighb be ruse to get him into the
hands Of the populace.

England and the Beers.

London, 26.-In the debate in the
Commons, yesterday, on the govern
ment's policy in Transvaal, Glad
stone showed that peace overtures
began before the disasters to the
British occurred. To have with
drawn the terms of peace which
were offered before the disasters oc-
CURED, on point or military honor,
and to insist on a certain number of
victims being slaughtered, and not
to expect British defeats, would
have been wicked, cruel and mean.
Government did everything possible
to Vindicate the Queens authority
except shedding blood. The foreign
secretary has notified all British
representatives abroad that govern
ment will, in future, ransom no
British subjects who are captured
by brigands.

could bear half a dozen or more

Old Assassination Tall.

Chicago, ga correspondent of
the Cleveland Leader gives currency
to a story, alleged to be well authen-
ticated, that Garfield was once be-
fore in peril Of his life from assassi-
nation. When a member Of the
electoral commission in 1876, a plot
to kill him or Hoar was unearthed,
and body guard escorted them to
and from their houses through the
hostile-looking set of roughs, who
once made a break for them, but
were deferred by the ready presen-
tation of clubs and revolvers. Chas.
S. Draper, who, after eighteen years
service was discharged from the po-
sition of deputy sergeant-at-arms Of
the Senate, had charge of the guard,
and can verify the facts, as can sew
eral other gentlemen. The idea of
these rufians and of their promptOrs
was that, with Garfield or Hoar out
of the way, the democratic House
would reverse the 7 to s character OF
the commission.

unless his wife, who was custodian

Honor at the threshold of this case am, in

with "maliciously and wickedy numbering one
James A. Garfield" Nothing can be more alb
surd, because General Garfield died from NAL

weeks after be was shot his physicians held a
careful examination and officially decided he
would recover. Two months after this official
announcement he died. Therefore, according to
his own physicians be was not fatally slot The
doctors who mistreated him ought to bear the

ought Ia be indicted for numbering James A.
Garfield and not me- But / have been indicted
and must stand my trial for the alleged homi-
eide. General Garfield was President of the
United States, and am one OF the men that
made him President. His nomination was an
accident; his election the result of greatest
activity on the part of the Stalwarts, and his
removal special Precedence. General Garfield
was good man, but weak politician. Being
President he was in e position to do vast harm
to the Republic, and he was doing it by the
unwise use of patronage, and the Lord and
took the responsibility Of removing him. / Ger
tainly never should have sought to remove him
on my own account. Why should shoot him ?
He never harmed me. From him / expected
an important office. I considered him nv DO
litical and personal friend; but my duty to the
Lord and to the American people overcame my
personal feeling, and ] sought to remove him
Not being marksman, he was not fatally shot,
but incompetent physicians finished the work,
and they, and not me, are responsible for his
death. Nothing but the political situation last
spring justified General Garfield's removal The
break in the Republican party last spring was
widening week by week, and feared {. civil
war. My inspiration was to remove the late
President at once, and thereby close the breach

A GERMAN physician has started
pleasant theory with regard to
insanity. 1t ls, he thinks, Il mis-
take to look upon 1t as an unmiti-
gated evil. 1t Is in many cases u
boon rather than the reverse to the
person Immediately affected. The
loss Of reason lands the sufferer
from sea OF trouble into one of
comparative calm-often into one
Of decided happiness; and attempts
to restore such person to sanity
would be cruel rathsr than kind.
Moreover, he insists that without a
certain amount of insanity success
In life. in the ordinary acceptation
OF the term, is quite impossible.
All "eminent men," he contends,
are decidedly more or less mad.
Many Of them are dangerous mono
maniacs, whom it would be desira-
ble on public grounds to shut up,
but who nevertheless achieve grand
careers and who are credited with
doing q vast amount of gooj. This
false notion he attributes to the
fact that the greater mass of man.
kind are alec insane and quite un-
able 10 distinguish between good
and evil. Whole nations are, he
says, occasionally seized, like indi-
vidual persons, with attacks of
madness, and led by eminent mad
men either destroy themselves or
their neighbors. These paroxysms
are, he admits, undoubtedly dan
gerous, but when madness is blend.
