An Anecdote of Jum bo.

King, the keeper who has had charge OF
Jumbo for many years, accompanied him to
this country, and remains with him con-
ftantly, even sleeping In his car. As a
rule, elephants, like all other wild beasts,
are governed more through fear than atfec-
ton, but with Jumbo the case is different,
and he Is devotedly attached to King,
and exhibits much uneasiness when he is
temporarily absent. This affection was
touchingly illustrated recently. The
shrek of passing locomotives whistle
frightened Jumbo, and in whirlLng around
he accidentally crushed his keeper against
the side of the car, with such force as to
infiict quite serious injuries. Mr.. King
was laid up for over q week, and Jumbo
mourned constantly and refused to be COM
forted, seeming to realize that he had been
the cause of his friends misfortune and
absence. Jumbo was standing i'm his usual
place, In the menagerie tent when King
made his reappearance. In his frantic joy,
the gigantic brute tore up the stake to
which he was tethered, and rushing to meet
his keeper, he folded him in his immense
trunk and pressed him repeatedly to his
breast as tenderly as mother, At the same
time uttering indescribable sounds which
might fairly be taken for sobs pf gladness.
The scene was enough to move the most
Indifferent heart, and caused many brave
eye to grow dim.

A Trick to Get BIont BY.
Baltimore Day.

Take the result, for instance, on Tuesday
In the thoroughly Democratic county of
Kent, where most of the Republican gains
were made. In seven out of nine hundreds
in that county the Democrats were so abso-
lutely sure of winning that there does not
appear to have been any serious contest
made, and their candidates were chosen
with scarcely show of opposition neces-
sarlly In those hundreds the vote was light.
In two hundreds, containing large towns
with considerable negro vote, the
Republicans saw chance to win
and bestirred themselves to bring out all
their voters, the result being that they did
win and secured very large vote for such
an election, which swelled the aggregate
vote so as to show great gain in the county
as a whole whereas had there been any con-
test IN the other seven -ninths OF the county
the aggregate vote would have shown how
ridiculous their claims to strength are. The
whole business Is mere trick, not intended
to affect the result In Delaware, where every
body understands it, but to delude outsiders
into furnishing money under thu belief that
there is fair chance that the Republicans
under Harrington's management can carry
the State In November.

rTo-day's Herald bulletin. J

The barometer continues highest over the
Atlantic States. In the Rocky Mountain
regions It is falling steadily owing to the ad-
vance Of disturbance over Colorado and
Wyoming. Light rains art reported from
the lake regions and some sections of the
New England States, and heavy rains from
the West and Southwest. Elsewhere fair or
hazy weather prevailed. The temperature
rose except in the extreme northern dis
tricts, where slight fall occurred. Fresh
to light winds prevailed In all the districts
except the Missouri Valley, where they in
creased to brisk. The approaching disturb
ance, although not yet well defined, Ia
likely to prove severe In the central valleys
as 1t moves toward the Atlantic coast line.
The weather In New York and its vicinity
to-day will be warm and partly haxy or
partly cloudy, possibly with showers in the
afternoon. Tomorrow promises to be
slightly cooler, partly cloudy and showery.

A Treatise on Hats.
fCleyCland Leader.

Who ever saw negro minstrel, or a
travelling doctor, or boss canvasman,
whose head was not crowned by the con-
yentional "plug." Clergymen professc s
and men noted for their benevolent deeds
usually wear the same style Of hats, but
this rule is not infallible. A Quaker or a
Dunkard carries with him always the in
sigma of his religious creed In the shape of
a broadbrim, and the Western cowboy,
although of a somewhat different nature, is
also noted for the ample protection he
furnishes his head and shoulders. Within
the pale of civilization, however, excepting
the classes named, people do npt, as rule,
cling to any particular style of hat.
