Solid Sense.
Cirelnralf Times Star. Ind.


General Joe Johnston is not retiring with
much grace from the controversy, which
was really a one-sided controversy as far as
Jefferson DaVls was concerned, regarding
the Confederate funds. II General John
stOn never said that Davis appropriated the
coin Il has taken him a long time 10 deny
it, and In the denial he makes a statement
which borders on the ridiculous. "What
did say,n he writes, "Wss that the President
should have accounted for that money"
The fact is, which General Johnston knows
as well as any body, that the President
OF the COnfederscY at that time had
about all be could do to account for
hipself With a force OF Union cavalry
hot at his heels It was hsFdly fair 10 ask MIN
to deliberately pause in his fl ght and make
ont a report OF the state of the Treasury.
TBere was no time for formalities, either
then or for soGne period thereafter. Besides
TO whom was he to secountg The collapse
OF the ConfederaeY was complete. There
was no government, no Cabinet, no Treas
ury: and the general understanding was
that everything was lost ia tue wreck Jef-
ferson Davis went one way, the Cabinet
another, and the Treasury was scattered to
the four winds.

ANIMALS FROZEN TO DEATH.
Animals Recently Imported by MIR.
FOrepaugh Succumb TO the Cold.
PhiIndelnhin Timea

Several thousand dollars worth of wild
animals recently bought of Hagenbeck, the
great animal dealer of Hamburg, Germany,
for Forepaugh's menagerie, arrived In New
York by the steamship Mosel on Tuesday.
Two white camels, q qusgga, and a sable
antelope were lost during the voyage; but
five elephants, eight double bumped brown
camels, one white camel, one white llama,
a zebra, a white yak, an ant bear, a noun
tain antelope, twenty small monkeys, a ba-
boon five feet four inches high, an ostrich,
an emu, q hOrnbill, and fifteen large
snakes, including three boa-constrictors,
each measuring over twenty feet In length,
making IN all q cargo of seventy eight val
liable specimens, arrived safely. One of
the elephants is nine feet high, and was
once the property of the late King Victor
Emanuel, of Italy. Her disposition was so
ugly, however, that she was sold to Hagen
heck, who on the same account could not
lind anyone willing to buv her until Adam
Forepaugh, 'Jr., visited Europe last summer.
The next North German Lloyd from Europe
will bring Mr.. Forepaugh ten elephants,
eight girstfes, a hippopotamus seven feet
long and five feet high, and a large saddle
back tapfr. The animals that arrived on
the Mosel were placed on a special train of
the Pennsylvania Railroad on Wednesday,
and arrived at the winter quarters of the
Forepaugh show, Richmond and Lehigh
avenues, on Wednesday night. The severe
cold experienced during the Journey killed
two Of the most valuable camels, several
monkeys, and half dozen of the largest
snakes.
