ELEPHANTINE SAGACITY.-An ele-
phant was chained to a tree in the
compound opposite Mr. Townsend's
house. Its driver made an oven at a
short distance. in which he put his
rice.cakes to bake, and then covered
them with stones aud grass and went
away. When he was gone the ele-
phant, with his trunk, unfastened the
cham round his foot went to the oven
and uncovered it, took out and ate the
cakes, re- covered the oven with the
stones aud grass as before. and went
back to his place. He could not fas-
ten the chain again round his own loot
so he twisted It round and round it, in
order 10 look the same, and when the
driver returned the elephant was stand
inc with his back to the oven. The
driver went to his cakes, discovered
the thelt. and, looking round, caught
the elephants eye as he looked
back over bis shoulder out Of the cor
ner of it. Instantly he caught the cul-
pril, aud condgn punishment followed.
The whole occurrence was witnessed
from the window by the family.

life; how he came from long struggle

State like himself wrecked; how he
went from one war into another how
he found his Commonwealth assailed
by devastating horde preying upon
her, despoiling her possession, urging
her degradation, urging the corruption
of her Government; how he became
her bulwark; how, when be held her
in his hands, riches and great political
preferment were ready to reward bis
desertion; how he cast them in the

ted. That record heard, we see the
great throng rise TO do honor to mab;
we hear the wild cheering, the plau-
dts of those to whom be has been and
ia still found true. He has been judged.
He has been laureled. He has been
honored by the army OF the dead, and
so, with that martial benediction, the
figure of the soldier passes on.
As the last acclaim fades away the
trumpet precedes the audit OF one other
before that solemn tribunal, and from
the arched holows of that encircling
court, from beneath the draped pima.
cles of promontory Of rock, from the
sLelved slopes which make up that
area q Confederate host such as never
before assembled looks down once
mere IN judgment upon the living.
Yet, the reverberation Of the herald's
blast is not so soon followed by fear
less appearance at that martial bar.
We see him as he moves coweringly
there, broken form. In that presence
William Mahone's life is unfurled, and
like bad banner above a forbidden
craft, it Is the insignia Of what Is worse
within.
We hear that he had been hOnored by
many of those dead batfalions that
they had fought under him and given
his name to legion who bore 1t on the
bayonet point. They, too, had been Of
the number OF Lee and Jackson and
Albert Sidney Johnston. We hear The
telling of how he has deserted that
cause, of how he has sold bis State, Of
how he has stopped and picked up the
political sheaf spurned by Hampton.
And then we see that skeleton army
leap forward.
We see a bristlng array Of gaunt fin
gers levelled at him we hear Kisses OF
execIation and neIveless arms feel for
swords ready 10 avenge sudden iu-
suit. Aud as William Malone crouch
es we see the wherefore of this mighty
wrath, for he bears with him his paper
from which every eye reads:
albert Sidney Johnston was a re-
bel, ana a dangerous one-a traitor,
aud a bad one. To venerate his men,
ory is to prolong his treason down to
date, aud criminate with him all those
who DO it.
He caunot speak. This is the paper
he has named to the southern people
as their guide, whose sentiments be
would have them endorse. We have
the judgment that he Is a traitor to the
living and dead; that he should be
buried in hired ground, as he himself Is
hired; that his ashes should never pol.
lutte the southern soil which holds its
defenders, ana that the land which
he has desecrated should spurn
his bones and never suffer attaint from
them..
1t is the judgment Of the Living by
the Dead.
