GIANT JUMBO RESTORED.
A Substantial Framework OF Wood and
Iron Covered by the Old Elephants
From the Mem York World.

Iron Covered by the Cd Elephants
Hide.
From the Mem York World.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Feb. 25.-Siuce last
fall Prof. Wards workmen have been pre-
pairing and stufing the skin OF Jumbo,
and tomorrow it win be inspected by a
party Of newspaper men from Boston.
New York and other places; James
Hutchinson, representing the owners,
and Charles Stone, Barnum's press
agent. Prof. Ward will make an address,
giving history OF the famous animal.
Jumbo was "a years of age when he died,
and Prof. Ward says he was merely a
baby elephant, and would probably have
grown much larger. The articulated re-
mains stand on a pedestal II feet long,
supported by eight twO-inch bolts, the
whole weighing 10000 pounds. The AMI
NAL is to be harnessed with strong
leather and chains about 100 feet in
length to avoid accidents while being
conveyed from place TO place. The
weight OF the elephant is three tons and
that Of the wagon about two tons.
In the interior OF the great beast is a
framework Of oak timbers bolted together.
In place OF big bones two-inch rods OF
wrought iron are used, which run up to
the frame in the body. The tusks are
screwed on iron rods projecting from the
head, and the glass eyes are of natural
size and color. After making the frame
work Of the elephant the body was formed
by process similar to that of lathing a
house, strips of oak two feet long and an
inch in width and thickness being used.
A layer OF hair or tow was placed over
the wOokw and the hide stretched over
it, The model OF Jumbo Is the largest
piece OF work OF the kind ever attempted
probably in the world, and Jumbo is really
as good as new.

suffered more from cold down here during
the cold spell in January than they ever
did in Vermont. This is accounted for
from the fact that we have such sudden
bhanges in the weather IN the South,
while in the North it remains cold during

CHINESE VINDICTIvFNEss.

John Chinaman is a vindictive little
scamp and as full of the spirit of revenge
as a wasp. The inhOspitabe reception
that is being extended to the subjects of his
Celestial majesty who are sOiOumng i'm this
Western world has stirred up the bile of
the imperial ruler Of the Flowery Kingdom.
and he is not only going TO recall his SUD-
jects. but he is going TO turn his high lord
eXecutiOner loose. with instructions TO STAY
the Mclean man wherever found in his
empire. This seems rather a barbarOus
sort of retaliation for the slight in
suits which have been given to the Celestial
sojourners in this country, and yet we are
not sure but that it is the proper thing TO
do. We have no use for the Chinese in
this country and we can't see any particular
use for Americans in China. If the Chi
nese government will drive all Americans
out of the empire and close its ports against
American trade we will not suffer extern
sively. We can get along without their tea
and opium, and as for washing we can go
back to the customs of our ancestors and
do our own laundry work. The fact that
the Chinese i'll this country are seeking to
suppress the imperial order recalling them to
their own country is pretty fair evidence
that they need us more than we need them.
1t may be fortunate thing after all that
the emperor of China is in the pouts. II
Will hasten a solution of the Chinese prob
lem in America, and will forever put an
end TO a disturbing element in our social
and industrial system. No more Cinnamon,
no more mobs. If the Chinese must go it
is better that they go at the call of their
own government than that they be forced
out at the point of the bayonet. Upon the
whole, we are disposed to thank you, Mr..
Tycoon, for your offices in this matter. and
hope that you will not let the sun go down
upon your wrath until every almond-eyed
alien is safe back in his own country.
