IGNORANCE AND THE BALLOT

IGNORANCE AND THE BALLOT.
A nation cannot make = grsver
mistake or take greater risks than
suddenly 10 enfrsnchise donse mass
of ignorant humanity snd put the bal
lot in their hands. Long enslaved,
taught to believe in the superiority
and power and infallibility of their
masters, the new voters, with no moro
conception Of governments or economic
or political questions than hogs, be-
come the poor dupes either OF their
old masters or designing and oily dom
agoguos, and place in power, perhaps,
the most undesirable and hurtful ole
ments Of the State. In the South the
negro became the dupe OF tho carpet
Dagger and only rendered tho robbery
Of tue State an easier matter by igno-
rantly sustaining the worst set OF
plunderers and sdventurers any coun-
try ever had, and now the newly en-
franehissd MASSES OF Engliahmsn are
likely to cresto great trouble
to the State by making 1t possible for
the most dealgning men to gain power
and prominence through the support
OF these rccently-emancipsted olssssR
The reports that are being published
from mon who have been mixing with
tho new voters, with view OF discov.
ering their intelligence, or purposes,
or appreciation Of the vast power &C
lately conferred upon Thorn, AKA calou
lated to Greats astonishmont. They
fine tho densost Ignorance, the great
majority OF tho enfranchlsed hardly
knowing what tho ballot means, aud
scarcely any OF them having the least
idoa of the difference in the policies oil
the present political parties OF Gros
Britain. Most OF Thorn are
afraid of tho landlords, and
II they vote a. all, will
be controlled by thelr own masters II
the exercise of the franchise, al they
have been in all other matters, while
othors--ss our negroes, after the war
listen tn any stories that arc told them
By scheming politicians aud dema-
gogueE.
Under such circumstances, it may
be safely sNrmised that money will do
termine elections in England for somt
time to come. The poor, ignoran
masses can appreciate the "jinglo o
the guinea" II they do not know any,
thing about parties or principles, ant
the ballot will be valued by them only
as means of procuring, at intervals
some littlo extra change. Corruption
for time will run riot, and no mar
can tell what tho final outcome tt
England, English laws and English
institutions will be, but that it will
work wonderful revolution car
scarcely be questioned. 1t was q
bold stop by Mr.. GLAD
STONE, and, coupled with nls
recent declaration in favor OF free
land aud tho abolition of the law oi
pnmogeniture, indicates his radical
democracy and perhaps Interior pur-
poso OF destroying royalty and arls-
tOcracy in England, and throws now
light upon his deolination of q patent
OF nobility.
All mon ought to enjoy tho right of
suffrage, and have somc voice In pub
lie affairs, but such reforms ss this
franchise bill accomplished should
proceed gradually aud cautiously,
first educating the man to the use OF
the ballot before placing 40 poworiuI 4
weapon, for good or evil, in his hands
This bold move will be watched with
interest aud profit by political psilos-
ophers overywhere.

DissectIug an Elephant.

1t will be remembered that week or
ten days ago an elephant named Albert
developed an ugly and pugnacious dis
position at Keene, n. H., where the
menagerie with which he was travelling
was located, and killed his keeper. He
had been ugly and treacherous on pre-
vious occasions, ahd it was not consid-
cred safe to permit him to live longer.
BY order of Mr.. Barnum the authori-
ties of the Smithsonian Institute were
notified that the execution was to take
place, and that they could have the car
cass if they desired it. Accordingly
Messrs. Houidan and Lucas, of the
National Museum, were dispatched to
Keene, where they arrived last Tues
day afternoon. Through the aid of City
Marshal z. r. Locke and Chief Engi-
neer George Wheelock they secured the
services of Mr.. J. F. Kerwin, we'll
known local knight of the butcher
knife and cleaver, and two other ex-
perts, and on Wednesday morning, began
the work of disseeting the enormous
pachyderm. The head and trunk was
first removed, and then the hide was
taken off in two pieces, being split on
the back and belly. The hide was in
many place an inch and a quarter thick,
and the work required nearly three
hours. In the afternoon the skeleton
was dissected, and every bone was saved
intact. The firing party consisted of
90 men, u of whom fired at the heart
and II at the head. During the au-
topsy, 80 to speak, six bullets we're found
in the heart, and they all had been
flattened
In the evening those of epicurean
tastes dined on elephant steak at the
Cheshire House, and it is reported that
many who did not know what they
were eating pronounced the steak un-
usually fine in flavor, but little bit
tough. The hide weighed 1, ,043 pounds,
and the skeleton 1,455 pounds. The
beast alive weighed about 1900 pounds,
was supposed to be 80 years old, and
was valued at $4,000. The preserved
portion was safely shipped to Washing
ton on Thursday, and Messrs. Houidan
and Lucas consider that they have Sc
cured an unusually perfect specimen for
the National Museum. About SOC

TORNADO WIsDoM.-A Western man
who has lived among tOTnadoes all his
life. who WAS raised among them. as it
were, says that it IS aasy to distinguish
a tornado from Az ordinary blow. A
cyclene or tornado north of the equator
always comes from the southwest. 1t
first appearances Is that of local cloud
1t IS nothing more than an electric
storm. The earth refuses to receive the
electricity that is constantly generated,
and it accumulates in a mass. When
the cloud extends from one side of the
horizon to the other, there is no danger
of a cyclone.
