His Skeleton Fastened Together and Set

A correspondent of the New York

Ward, the scientist who is preparing the
skeleton of the mammoth elephant
the animal. the largest work of the kind
ever attempted III this conntay. The
model will not be finished until next
spring. although it was at first caleula
ted to have it completed in two months.
At the present stage of the work Jumbo
looks like an elephant made of hath, al

limbs is remarkably perfect. The ami.
NAL stands on a frame of heavy oak tim
berS, bolted together, in a position as
natural as in metal. run through each
limb up into the body. where the frame
work of the great beast is constructed.
This framework is composed of more
iron rods and oak timbers. bolted to-
gether in the strongest possible manner.
The rods and framework extended into
the head and upper part of the trunk,
the iron really taking the place of bones.
Upon the framework is nailed inch
square strips of Eastwood. The general
shape of the animal depends largely upon
the manner in which these strips are
placed and the different lengths they are
cut to. Although at first glance the ele-
plant appears to be made Of lath, a close
examination reveals the really artistic
work which has been done in shaping it
and the wonderfully strange way in
which the parts have been made. The
hide is in two pieces, and it will require
much stretching to place it over the
model, although that is near Jumbo's
original size and shape 1t is possible to
make it. The tusks will be of ivory,
screwed on iron rods projecting from the
head. The eyes will be of glass blown
especially for the purpose They will
be the natural size and color.

THE Democrats are dreadfully afraid
that Honest John Logan may yet be
Vice President Of the United States.
His history of the "Great Conspiracy"
will be issued before long. Speaking
of his forthcoming book, his publishers
say that his long personal experience,
combined with his we'll known industry,
love of truth and fearlessness in ex-
pressing it peculiarly fits him for the
task of historian of the great Rebel
conspiracy. In his hands there will be
no suppression of truth for the sake of
shielding any man, living or dead and,
while there will be no exhibition of
gratuitous malice or uncharitableneS
in the history, yet the reader may ex-
pect to find cold facts, given without
mutilation or coloring, and without fear
or favor. In these days when the colors
OF the Union and Confederate uniforms
have become so strangely confused,
cold facts without mutilation or color
ing ought to be interesting reading to
everybody except an unregenerate

A correspondent of the n. Y. TI-
bnnc gives the following statement as
explanatory of the common expression
"Waving the Bloody Shirt :" Few per-
sons seem to be acquainted with the
original or real significance of the ex-
preston "wave the bloody shirt, !"
which certain Democrats seek every
opportunity to hurl at the Republicans
as a reproach. The writer had the
story in 1871 from Richard Williams,
an Old lawyer of Pekin, Illinois, for
merly president of Henry College, in
Kentucky, and lifelong Democrat.
The incident occurred just before the
war, but the date and the name
Of the criminal have both es-
capped me. A murder had been COM
mitted IN Pekin, and Abraham Lincoln
was employed to assist the Dlstrlct-At-
| torney OF IaZewell county IN the pros
ecution. In his address to the jury
Lincoln displayed the neither garment
of the murdered man profusely stained
with blood. The garment swayed back
and forth with his long arms, while
pleading in impassioned tones, made a
imposing and dramatic scene. The
murderer was convicted. After the
trial some of his brethren at the bar
rallied him on his taste in swinging
that bloody shirt about" The earnest
but characteristic response, The man

bers may, by adroit management, be
made to count as decisive factors in
States and cities where the old par
ties are almost equally divided in
strength.
The growth of this movement
since last November is surprising, as
exhibited in the elections in Ohio,
New York, and elsewhere The re-
cent contest in Atlanta is perhaps
the most remarkable that has occur
sed in the history of this orgaization.
The question presented was plainly
for or against local option in the
county of Fulton. The temperance
people carried the day by small
majority against the commercial in
tcrest of Atlanta, after most eXcit-
ing struggle, in which the clergy of
nearly all denominations, women,
and blacks and whites, engaged and
fraternized, without regard to race,
according to their sentiments for or
against the traffic in liquor.
More than two-thirds of the coun-
ties of Georgia have decided for To-
cal option, and the temperance re-
formers are bent on conquering the
remaining opposition.
Alabama is largely affected by
the movement, and it has extended
into South Carolina, and North
Carolina, and will be introduced into
the coming Legislature of Virginia
by bills for local option. 1t is ex-
tending through the West, and the
votes for St. John last year by no
means exhibit its strength in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Kansas.
The failure of extreme prohibition
in its supposed strongholds, like
Maine, Massachusetts,, Kansas, Iowa,
and other States, where the cause
of true temperance has suffered from
violent measures, will serve as a
check to movement and an incentive
to more moderate cOunsels.
Democrats and Republicans will
doubtless watch the progress of this
most interesting element in politics
with keen interest, because it threat
ems both parties with a dangerous
| intrusion.

but his entire family, consisting of a
wife and five children, have been broken

the patient, accompanied by scme

THE Presidency of the Senate still
forms topic of discussion in political
circles. In the absence of everything
definite relating to the candidacy of
Messrs. Logan, Edmunds and Sher-
man, it is all mere guess work. BY
common consent General Logan is re-
g,rdcd as being the coming man.
The only matter in dispute is how he
shall be elected. Opinion seems to
favor the plan proposed among others
by Senator Conger, viz, elect a Sena-
tor president pro TEN in order to
swear in General Logan, and on the
following day elect the latter to the
chair. 1t is conceded that the Senate
can change its president pro TEN as
often as it chooses. The question of
dignity involved in putting up a
dummy for the purpose simply of Sc
curing General Logan election will
be considered as such. A better way,
no doubt, would be to adopt the Ferry
precedent and offer a resolution de-
claring that the oath of office be adj
ministered by the senior Senator to
General Logan, and declared him
elected president pro tenn. There is
another analogous to the Ferry case to
be found in the XXXVth Congress. AT
the special session which assembled on
March 4, 1857, the Senate passed a
resolution directing the oath of office
to be administered to Mr.. Mason, and
that he declared president pro tenn.
Mr.. Mason had been chosen president
