KEENE, N. H., July 20.-Barnum's
large Asiatic elephant Albert, which
killed keeper James Sweeney ut Nashua
on Saturday, was taken to ravine in the
suburbs of Keene this afternoon and
killed. He was chained to four large
trees and the location of his heart and
brain marked in chalk. Thirty-three
members of the Keene Light Guards were
then marshalled into line at Is PAGES, and
at the word sire" the same number of
bullets penetrated the vital parts. The
huge beast fell dead without struggle.
Albert was 30 years old and had been
used as performing elephant until the
last three months, when he had shown
such temper that he was withdrawn from
the trained herd. He was valued at about
$4,000. The remains have been donated

Topeka, KAN, July 30 Governor
Martin has issued proclamation for the
prevention of the importation of in
fectious cattle into the state. The gov
ernor recites the report that large herds
of Texas cattle from that portion
of Texas lying south of the
34th parallel north latitude, are
moving northwest through the Indian
Territory and the Cherokee neutral strip.
He next refers to the provisions of the
session laws of 1857 which forbid the
driving of such cattle through the
state between March and December. In
consequence whereof the governor directs
all sheritis and deputies TO promptly take
charge of and restrain any cattle sought
to be driven across any country
in violation of said act and report same
to the live stock secretary, sanitary COM
mittee. The governor also directs the
sanitary commission to adopt effective
regulations for the enforcement of the act.

Philadelphia Press special from
Lewes dated the 20 inst, says On Friday
the Delaware steamer Samuel Allen was
fishing off the coast of Jersey, near Two
mile Beach, about three miles from Cape
May, when suddenly u number of men
appeared Oh the Jersey shore and began
firing with reyolvers at the fishermen.
The weapons were not strong enough,
and shotguns were brought into play.
These did not have the desired effect The
Jerseymen next brought out rifles, and
sent volley after volley in pursuit of the
fishermen who had taken IN their boats
and nets and were leaving the coast.
The rifle balls struck the steamer in
many places, and the men sought pro.
lection behind the masts and smokestack
No one was injured, though there were
several narrow escapes.
The owners of the steamer and the fish
factories have sent for rtAes aud ammu-

Reader, you think you

us some notion as to the
colors you like. III. t''.'.
Seersuckers Nothing is
more in favor for hor-weather
dress among ladies' Of taste;
and the treble reason is they
are pretty and cool-they cost
not much to begin with
they are easily washed--they
are "ironed" by letting them
hang in the wind and sun
they are cooler than anything
smooth - the crinkles are
pretty as well as cool-the
roughness is part of the
beauty. In short they are
pretty, cool and inexpensive.
We might have added a
iourth--they are tough-as
George Eliot says, "stout
enough to last a lifetime"
These are reasons enough.
Now, lady, do you know
what these crinkles are. Let
us imagine you don't. We
are talking to you who don't.
You have a night-gown-yoke
of putting insertion-a stripe
of smooth and a stripe of
rough. That's crinkled seer
sucker. You have seen
rainbow after a summer
shower, the sun behind you.
That's crinkled seerstlcker-
its air is like the refreshing
air of seersucker. You have
seen the canary shaking his
feathers after his bath, each
feather on end, the penetrat-
ing air between-that's GRIN
killed. seersucker.
It's very odd; but almost
all the seersuckers are here,
almost all, are here. They're
very scarce. What is odder
yet. they are cheap, What is
oldest of all they are better
than ever before. and prettier,

A seersucker dress or two
why, do you know, one
seersucker isn't like another
seersucker. There's such
variety in seersuckers. Take
a two color seersucker, cream
and-ecru for instance, a puff
and a ribbon, a puff and a
ribbon, a puff and a ribbon,
and so on all over. Take a
three-color seersucker pink
and-ecru and-blue for instance
there's your rainbow. Are

How will the Mahoneitesruna campaign
without money and without patronage ?
is the conundrum propounded by the
Richmond State. The little renegade for
whom the party is named is believed to
be pretty well fixed financially, having
been President of the Atlantic, Mississippi
IL Ohio railroad and having made much
money within the. past three or four
years through his connection with
certain monopolies; but, if any of
his followers think he is going
down into his own pockets very heavily
for campaign funds, somebody is going TO
get left. Billy can read the signs of the
times well enough to know that there is
no money for him in such investments.
Mahoneism is too far gone for even the
son of Ex-Governor Wise to resuscitate it.
When there are no carcasses the buzzards
must starve or change their bill of fare.
