Moving an Elepha n

On Thanksgiving day the manager

recently built for its accommodation
at a cost OF S.. 600. It requires both
tact and experience to move sn ele.
Dhant with any degree of satisfaction,
and those not acquainted with the
peculiarities of the animal would
make Dungling job of it were they
to undertake the task. An elephant
has one popularity which all old
trainers understand perfectly, and
thatis he will invariably attempt TO
leave a shed, stable, tent or house
from the same opening or door
through which be entered. Rather
than leave from any other opening
than that through which they have
entered, although given an opportu.
nifty to obtain egress through other
passages, elephants have been known
in many instances to break their
cages, and tear down doors; and even
their own sheds. The Fair Associa.
ton managers removed the bars at
the rear OF their elephants house, led
him into the place through the open
ing thus created rather than take him
through the front door. After doing
this they replaced the bars and
watched the animal to see " hat course
he would pursue under the sggravat
ing circumstances. He surveyed the
situation, and then wrapped bis trunk
about each bar alternately and made
a desperate attempt to remove them.
Alter satisfying himself that this
plan was not likely to succeed, he
knelt duwn and placed his head
under the bottom bar of the house,
which was located about three fee:
from the ground, and endesvo!ed to
break it i'll twain. He failed in this
attempt also, and finally gave up
and became resigned to his fate. The
managers then left him to entertain

ly lrascible. Husband and wife gradu-

much of her time in Europe; and, at
last, it was arranged by mutual friends
that divorce should be effected with as
little noise as possible. It was not con-
summated until the year before his
death, although the two had been twain

She was not his equal in. mental

tastes seemed very different, and socially
she was almost the opposite of Mrs.
Sumner, being retiring and quite averse
to society, while Mr.. Dickens, though a
hard literary worker, went much in com

had grown to full age and scattered, the
separation between husband and wife

The Luck of a Historic Knife.

Everybody knows under what circum.
stances Henry ~. was assassinated by
Ravaillac. The assassin, passing his
arm through the window of the coach,
struck the monarch two blows with a
knife, the latter of which pierced his
heart. While still brandishing the knife.
he was arrested by the orders of the DUO
d'Epernon, the knife being wrenched
from his hand by Pietro de Malaghino,
an italian attached to his suit, who
afterward declared he had dropped the
weapon In the crowd. It would appear.
however, that Malaghino, who was
great amateur OF curiosities, kept his
historical relic until his death, when he
left it to his descendants. It is difficult
to say how it came IN possession of
Maurice de SAKE afterward but certain
it is that month before his death the
Marshal made it present to his
physician, Senac. Senac bequeathed it
to his son, M. Senac de Meilhan, who
presented it to the Marquise de Crequi,
at whose death it became the property
OF the Baron de Blachefort, her cousin,
when againit was lost sight OF for nearly
sixty years, until it turned up the other
day in the bureau of the Commissary of
Police in the Quarter Latin, being then
owned by student whose father had
been steward to the Raimboval family.
This student had been for some time in
the greatest poverty, and had been heard
to say that Life was becoming a burden
to him. The other morning he found
himself absolutely penniless, a prev to
the hallucination that the knife had
brought him il-luck. Determined to
put an end to his existence, he plunged
it into his breast. Fortunately, it was
too rusty, blunt and hacked about to do
much harm, and the unhappy youth only
succeeded in infiicting wound from the
effects of which he will be cured in
fortnight. Ever since the story became
known the bureau of the Commissary
has been visited by number Of
collectors, each of whom has been until
now under the impression that he was the
sole possessor of the actual knife with
which Henry Nv. was slain. James
