Barnum's White Elephant a Fraud

Mr.. Ssnderson, the superintendent Of
the English Government elephant-catching
operation in Bengal, who speaks with more
authority and larger experience than any
other European, states that "there is not,
nor ever was, such a creature as a white
elephant. in the ordinary acceptation of
the term" The so-cslled sacred white
elephants Of the kings Of Burmah and
Siam are ordinary elephants, possessed of
''marks" analogous to those which may be
seen on the specimens now in the gardens.
In that n the pinkish color extends all
over the trunk half way up the forehead,
and the same marks are found on the tips
of the ears.

Retired From Journalism.

George O. Gorham, so our dispatches
say. has resigned the editorship of the
Washington National Republican and gone
into the telephone business in New York.
Gorham is first of all a politician. With
him, never mind how he may be nomi-
nally employed, politics is uppermost.
He has only retired from the field for an
interval. When the next campaign opens
In New York he will be as ready with his
bloody shirt as always before.

Dangerous Mesmeric Experiment..
A new and dangerous development Of
mesmerism was displayed the other day al
Paris to an admiring and sympathizing
public by a ~well-known mesmerist, who,
at the same time, is a lion-keeper in a GER
tain m~enagerie. A beautiful young girl,
on whom the spiritualist generally prac-
tices, was brought into a cage Of lions. and
after being thrown into q cataleptic sleep,
was submitted to the . most frightful
ordeals. In one Of these the head and arm
Of the girl were put into the mouth Of a
lion. which had previously been infuriated
by lashes from its masters whip. But the
apparently dead body did not excite the
animals appetite. At the end Of the
scene the girl was released, and went smil-
ing away, while the mesmerist earned rich
laurels.

Yesterday the following attachment suits
were started against the Enterprise Mining
Company, Diamond City. in the order in
which they are named: P. N. Hansen,
S3,07l "a; w. D. Stewart, S2,403 AZ; +.
W. Clute. 81, 1872 80; besides three suits in
the Justices Court aggregating about
$3.50. These attachments, it appears, were
precipitated when several checks, pre-
sented at Paxton & Co.'S Bank, were not
honored for lack of funds on deposit to
meet the draft. 1t is presumed that these
debts will be met directly, and the COM
pany be allowed to continue work. 1t Is
to be hoped 80, as fattering reports are
received from the mine and furnaces.
The gentlemen interested in the property
have their own money in the project. are
mining legitimately, and deserve success.
Since writing the above, we have learned
from q gentleman seemingly informed In
the premises that it is his opinion that the
break was caused by the failure to have
money on hand to meet demands, which
money might have been put ON deposit If
the company had watched its accounts
closely and had attended strictly to its
banking. Our informant, thinks. also,
that the company can command all the
money it needs, and that ii will pull out
ali right after the temporary embarrass-
ment entailed by yesterdays attachments.

RIDING WITH A CORPSE.
Chinese Anxiety to Keep Death Out
Of the Camp.

NhAnoSc Ahxaety 10 heep ASeatu Out
of the Camp.
Harvey Carpenter relates an incident
which shows q peculiar superstition among
Cinnamon. Mr.. Carpenter. OIL his return
from Eureka to Secret Canyon Sunday
afternoon late, was called on by q crowd OF
Chinese laborers, who besought him to
take a sick one Of their number and bring
him to town in his sleigh. He told them
he couldn't do 1t; that he was nearly
frozen already; that his horses were tired
out; and that il he started he would have
to travel in tn night. which was too
risky for him to try in this weather. He
told them, besides, il he should try to
make the trip the patient, who was very
sick, would die of cold on the road. They
insisted, however, and he, at last, got from
them the intimation that they expected the
sick man would die anyway, and that the
only anxiety they had about him was that
he should not die in Secret Canyon. Mr..
Carpenter told them, finally. that he would
| start with the sick Chinaman on the next
Monday morning and bring him as far
as Pinto and into town, il he could, and
this was the best he could do.
They offered him any sum OF money he
might name II he would accommodate
them but, at last, finding him immovable
n his refusal, they accepted his offer. The
next morning they we're around by times
to keep him to his engagement. He says
when he got up and looked out he could
not see across the gulch. The wind was
blowing q hurricane and the air was q
mass OF whizzing snow. He wanted to
back nj Of his bargain. but the China
men hung about him and there was no
way OF shaking them off. He waited IN
til II o'clock, when the storm having
| moderated, he got his team out and the
| dying Celestial was packed away In the
sleigh. Mr.. Carpenter says his companion
| talked at the outset and he heard him
kicking once or twice afterwards on the
robes. The trip to Pinto was made, and
the weather looking more favorable, Mr..
Carpenter did not stop there but drove on
in. The last time he took a look at
the Chinaman was as the sleigh passed
over the railroad track at the edge OF town.
at which moment the Celcstial's spirit was
still confined to its earthly tenement. He
came on in and arrived at Chinatown
about 6 O'Clock in the evening. The Chi
namen who came out TO receive their sick
countryman started to take him from the
sleigh, but dropped the body and ran
away. 1t was dead and stiff. and Mr..
Carpenter had to fool around in China
town for an hour before he got rid OF his
freight. The anxiety OF the Chinese to get
the aick man out Of Secrst Canyon is
based on the fact that no Chinaman has
ever yet died there. and they think as
long az they can say this their fight against
Death and the Devil out there will not be
| half so hard.
