The Rel History Of Jumbo.

Jumbo, the famous monster elephant,
has now been Just one year in America,
and whether owing to climatic infiu-
ences or better care and attention, has
thrived in his new nome immensely. II
is a fact, however, not generally known,
that animal trainers in this country are
better acquainted with the habits and
peculiarities of elephants than the peo-
pie of any other portion of the world,
not even excepting the East,where these
big animals have been kept in captivity
for many hundreds OF years. Jumbo,
according to the testimony Of Sir Sam
uel Baker, was captured when very
young by band of Hamean Arabs. who
brought him from the Settle river, in
Abyssinia, and disposed Of him to a
Bagarian collector named Johann
Schmidt. Jumbo was then less than
four feet high, and travelled with an
other elephant of his own tender age,
which has since died. He was purchas-
ed by the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris,
in 1861. and after seven years of rapid
growth was transferred to the London
Zoo" From this garden Barnum,
Bailey and Hutchinson procured him.
When he arrived here he was lean, lank
and tall. He has since improved from,

Quite a New View Of Talmage.

Could Talnage have held his own fol-
fifteen years by monkey tricks alone'
Clearly not. That he INDUCES in monkey
tricks no man who has ever seen him
will deny. | regard his performances
on the platform as grotesque in the eX.
IRENE, but careful reading of his at
terances from the platform will insure
his placing upon the plane Of sober
minded, discreet, sensible, instructive
and entertaining teachers. Personally,
Talmage is genial fellow. Get him in
a corner with his war paint off and talk
with him on any subject except that OF
shop and YOU will find him as genial
and pleasant companion as you may
wish. He is in the pulpit what Butler
is in politics 1t is his profession, and
he is bound to make a hit every time,
He is reckless, careless, and not always
reliable, but get him down to hard pan
and he is worth hundred cents on the
dollar every time. Talmage is very
bald Personally in my eyes that is not
an objection. He seems to think the
public regard is otherwise. Consequent
" he lets the hair grow on the side OF
his head very, very long, aud then
brushes it up over his scalp and fancies
that, because he looks like hairy man
to himself in the glass, nobody can see
the little bald spot behind. Youremem-
Der the ostrich? This is another case.
On the street Talmage appears to think
that everybody is looking at him, That
is where his head is not level. He
should think that everybody is looking
at him because everybody is, but he
should not appear so. See the point?

There Is n remarkable salt lake. situ-
ated 80 miles west and south OF Albu-
querque, IN New Mexico, and about 80

was one specimen inclosing the stem Of

ious feature Of Ills lake is tall circu-
lar column, of monument-shaped fOrma-
ton, which rose up near the center Of
the lake to the hight Of 100 feet, and
which appeared to be composed OF
white lava thrown up by some convul-
sion during some ancient geological
period. The outside of the singular
column sloped from the base toward the
top, and was rough enough to enable it
to be assembled On reaching the top
of the cone the interior was found to be
hollow like tube, and at the bottom
there was seen a circular pond of water
with bright emerald green color in
appearance, probably to be attributed
TO the sparse rays Of light which pene-
trated this huge tube, aud were reflect
ed from the smooth, mirror-lke surface
of the water. A party with some diff
Guilty descended the projecting sides OF
the interior Of this bowl, and they found
no incrustations of salt on the surface

drawing it, the hand came out perfect

The society prigs Of the New York pa
pers are shocked because Gov. Butler ap-
peared at MONDAY in a swallow-tailed
Goa and full evening dress. 1t is melan.
oholy that the swarm OF new.rich which
set the fashions OF New York have OBJ
liberated the memory of the fact that the
full dress is the proper apparel for all
high public occasions and duties. It is
only in recent years that Conkling has
presumed to appear before the Supreme
Court Of the United States in a bob.
tailed sack Of pepper and salt color. In
Massachusetts, most Of the Sheritfs still
wear a navy blue swallow-tail and buff
vest, both with brass buttons, bearing the
emblem Of Massachusetts. Before the
Supreme Court Of New York it is still
customary for lawyers Of the old school
to appear in full dress, the same in which
Webster always appeared in the Senate
OF the United States. Gov. Butler fol-
lowed the custom OF his predecessors in
being i~naugurated in a swallow.tail.

= FORGOTTEN FORMULATION

Prot. Francis Bowen Of Harvard
brings to notice an almost forgotten
translation of the Bible by Charles
Thomson, who was Secretary Of the
Continental Congress, and published his
work in 1908. Thomson was a distin-
guished teacher of Latin and Greek in
Philadelphia, and he spent the better
part Of rs years on his version Of the
Scriptures. Prof. Bowen has been ex-
aiming the book, and it is his deliberate
judgment that, in many respects, it is
better than the revision of 1881. Thorn
son anticipated some Of the changes re-
Gently made. He printed the texts in
paragraphs, and the songs and p~oetical
citations as poetry in lines of unequal
length. He also omita the passage in the
first epistle OF John. concerning the
''three that bear record in heaven, - and
he prints in brackets the d~oxology at the
close Of the Lords Prayer, mentioning
in a foot note that in ''many ancient
manuscripts it is not found

Portland EnteIsi@ence.


The Brooklyn Eagle is astonished that
Ned Stokes, whose notoriety as the slayer
of Fisk was supplemented more recently
in this State by his shrewd mining trans
actions. particularly in the case OF the
Nlctorine mine, should be so popular with
men, and that merchants, bankers,
brokers, m~illionaires," etc., stretch out
their hands to salute him. Whereupon
the San Francisco Daily Report says:
1--WE shall not be astonished until we know
what sort Of merchants, m%illionaires, etc.,
are hand in glove with Ned Stokes. If we
find that they are men Of a character far
superior to thar OF Ned Stokes, we shall
be astonished. II not, why should we be
astonished? They may be men of lower
character than he and anxious to cultivate
his acquaintance, in order to raise them
selves q peg or two. Some Of the most des-
picable b~lackguards we know of are mer-
chants, milliOnaires, etc. We don't be-
lieve that they and Ned Stokes would
speak, unless he thought he could make
something out Of them or they thought
they could make something out of him.
There is a good deal in this sometimes.
Stokes has money and is extrayagant, and
a man who has nothing to commend him
but money and extravaganza will always
have greeting hands stretched out to him;

GOOD ADVICE.

The Democrats should not trouble
themselves just at present, says the New
York Sun, with picking out a candidate
for President in 1884.
What they need to do is to so use the
power which the people conferred upon
them last Fall as to satisfy the country
that they can be trusted with the Pres..
denoy.
Gen. Buffers advice 10 the Democrats
at the jackson anniversary in Boston was
sound. Let the Democrats take care to
so conduct themselves as to hold the
States they captured in November, and
then they will stand a good chance for
carrying them in the Presidential contest.
When the Democrats have done all
this they will have no difficulty in find
ing a suitable man to run for President.

THE sCRGOI. LAW.

The last thing that the Nevada Legis-
lature is likely to consider patiently and
thoroughly is a proposition to amend the
School law OF this State. The discus
sion of a school bill is almost sure to
peeessitate a call of the House. Nor is
this the worst feature OF obstruction IN
the way of efforts to secure legislation on
this important subject. In order to
change the School law in any manner
radically to have it conform to the needs
of the Institution and the advancement
in the science of teaching since the pres
emit statutes were copied from the code
of California, or some other State Differ
ing vastly from Nevada, it Is necessary
to overcome not only the apathy OF leg
i~slators. but also to combat inch by inch
preiudices that exist IN their minds
against any change whatever, never
mind how wholesome and proper 1t may
seem to those who are familiar with the
situation. During the present session a
bill has been introduced in the Assembly
by Mr.. Morris, the object Of which is to
confer some authority upon the State
Board of Examination looking towards
the correction of evils or mistakes &C.
curing at the hands of local Boards Of
Examiners or school trustees. A cry
has been raised against this proposition
already. The Territorial Enterprise
Jumps into the breach and sounds the
alarm. 1t breads the giving of arbi-
trary power, and thinks 1t would be dis
astrous to allow anybody to interfere
with the school government Of the local
Boards. This is just the sort Of inter
ference that is needed, that is, in fact, I'M
peratively demanded. More than this,
the State Superintendent should not be
held in Office as a mere man of straw. II
the statutes are examined it will be dlti-
cult to point out any important duty that
the law empowers or authorizes hin to
perform. He ought to be able to cor
rect abuses wherever he finds them. In
making his rounds through the State he
ought to be able to say to Boards Of
Trustees, This man, or this woman, Is
unfit to teach. 1t is a public calamity to
have him or her in charge Of the eduea-
ton Of children. He or she must be
removed, and you must ill the vacancy
with some competent aud proper person.
Let the law require him to back up his
official assertions and demands thus
made by sufficient proof to a properly
constituted authority. Hem him in in
this way, if the objection TO the ''one
man power" is so grave and 50 delicate.
Or, if this sort Of legislation is abhorent,
let our legislators devise a plan by which
the SchooImaste General may do some
thing definite and valuable in the dis
charge of his functions which ought to
be, but are now only Of nominal sig
nifcance. The present incumbent is a
practical, successful teacher, an intelli-
gent, conscientious gentleman, and if the
Legislature is disposed to do anything to
improve the condition of our public
schools, it can do nothing more con-
ducive to that end than to ~vitalize his
office.
