Senator Jones, of Florida, has not been
in his seat during the present session of the
Senate, and his absence is attributed to
crazy infatuation for Western widow
who utterly detests him. His constilu-
ents have recently heen growing about
his absence, and have urged Governor
Perry, of that State. to declare his seat
vacant, and appoint new Senator. This
the Governor has declined to do, as he
has no power in the premises, and on
this action the Times Union, of Jackson.
vile, pithily remarks: "The clause in
the Constitution is very comprehensive
that the Senate has the power to- decide
whether vacancy exists, aud that by
appointing new man to fill an apparent
vacancy the Senate may be induced to
settle the question whether the State has
any power to enforce its right to the con-
stitutioual representation of two in the
Senate. Popular feeling in Florida is
strongly aroused over the prolonged and
unexplained absence of Senator Jones
from bis post of duty" 1t would pro
duce reform in National legislation if
absence without leave from seat in Con-
gress vacated the seat. The members
would be more punctual if not more dill
igent.

such rapidity as to show its practicabiity

Ancient Writing Material.

When the Prophet Ezekiel was COM
handed to write about the city of Jeru-
salem, he was compelled to write his
account on smooth tiles, and we find
fragments of such tiles to this day.
The heaps of broken pots and crockery
of all sorts, which are so abundant in
all Eastern towns, prove that bits of
smooth stone or tiles were constantly
used for this purpose. The Island of
Elephantine, on the Nile, is said to have
furnished more than n hundred such
specimens. One Of these is a soldiers
leave of absence, scrubbed on frag-
ment of an, old vase. How little those
scribes andaeeountants imagined the in
terest with which their descendants
would ono day treasure their rough
notes Still quainter were the writing
materials of those ancient Arabs who,
befoi the time of Mohammed, used to
carve their annals on the shoulder
blades Off sheep. The "sheep-chroni-
cles" were strung together, and thus
preserved After awhile sleeps bones
were replaced by sleeps skin, and the
manufacture of parchment was brought
to such perfection as to place it among
the refinements of art. We hear OF
vellums that were tinted yellow, others
white. Others were dyed of rich
purple; and the writing thereon was
in golden ink, with gold borders and
many-eoiored decorations. These pre-
cious manuscripts we're anointed with
the.on of cedar to preserve them from
moths. We hear of one such in which
the name of Mohammed is adorned
with garlands of tulips and carnations
painted in vivid colors. Still more
precious was the silky paper of the
Persians. powdered with COLA and
silver dust, whereon were painted

Some Elephant Stories.

The stories of elephant sagacity
might, indeed, fill volume, for all
their actions are marked, though in
various degrees, by clear signs of this
quality. In the year 1868, an elephant
was employed at station in India to
pile up heavy logs-a work which these
animals will perform with great neatness
and speed. The superintendent of the
labor suspected the keeper of stealing
the rice apportioned for the animals
food. The man of course protested
with all the vehemenoe of native
against the charge, and bemoaned his
hard fate in being exposed to such q
cruel suspicion. 1t so happened that
the elephant was standing by during
the loud discussion, and though no one
supposed the creature understood the
words uttered. the result was remark
able. The animal suddenly laid hold
of large wrapper which the man
wore round his waist, and, tearing it
open let out several quarts of rice
which the fellow had slowed away under
the voluminous wrapper. Further evil
dence was needless, either of the mans
guilt or the elephants sagacity. The
animal had probaly seen the roguish
attendant place its food in his cloth, and
had simply taken the opportunity of re-
covering its rights. So closely do ele-
plants remember the Specification of the
signs which have been taught them,
that they will instantly obey the gentlest
signal, such as the lifting up Of
finger or the slightest touch on their
ears.
Bishop Heber tells of malicious man
who induced his elephant to kill wom-
an, by giving the sign of attack to the
animal he was riding Some natives had,
however, witnessed the proceeding and
SO clear was their testimony that the
man was hanged for murder. The Mo-
hammedan soldiers in the Mogul's army
trained their elephants to destroy the
numerous small images Of the Hindu
divinities. OF course the soldiers pre-
tended that the wise and theological
animals had an innate hatred of idolatry,
which could not be restrained. The
Hindus knew better, and OWNED that
secret sign was given to the we'll
taught beasts Indeed, there is scarce
ly an act, from the killing of man to the
uncorking of wine-bottle, which these
clever quadrupeds cannot perform;
perhaps to thread lady's fine sewing
needle might be beyond their power,
but we are not certain. The Exeter
Change elephant showed his reasoning
powers in the following device, witness
ed by Mr.. Jesse. This gentleman was
giving some potatoes to his huge pet,
when one fell on the floor just beyond
the sweep of the creatures trunk. A
few inches behind the potato was
wall. The animal blew strongly against
the vegetable. OF course this sent it
further off still from the trunk against
the wall, but the recoil brought the po-
tato back nearer than before to the ele-
plant, which then secured its prize.
1t seems absurd to suppose that the
animal knew anything about action and
reaction. but the deed performed and
the result obta ned, wene just what
reason might have suggested to q clever

wealthy German banker, is the most

carries a couple of chronometers about
with him. Thanks to this habit, he is
a frequent victim to pickpockets, as not
q week passes without his losing one of
his watches. At first he had recourse to
all kinds of safety chains; then one
fine morning he took no precaution
whatever, and quietly allowed himself
to be robbed. At night, on returning
from business, he took mp the evening
paper, when he uttered an exclamation
of delight, and at once started off for
the police station. This is what he had
read: To-day at two o'clock p. M, a
violent explosion took place in house
IN B street, occupied by Mr.. s.,
wealthy townsman. The hands of the
victim are shattered, and the left eye
