An Elephant Patronizing the Bar.

From, the San Francisco 4 TIA Californian.
Kiralfg Brothers trained elephant. FL
Mahd left the California Theatre about 9
O'Clock last evening by the single entrance,
after his little part had heen PLAYED. The
keeper was temporarily absent; at the time,
and El Mahdi was at full liberty to wander
about a. his own free will. Attracted by the
lights and snowy windows, the elephant
crossed the street and forced his way through
the half opened door of the Brewers EX-
change saloon. The few customers present,
together with the bartender. were frightened
out Of their wits by the sudden apparitIon of
the unexpected New Years guest and imme-
diately stampeded toward the backyard.
Once safely OUTSIDE, one or two Of the more
curious returned ana gazed through a
chink in the door in order TO observe the
actions of the little elephant,
which looked as big as a mountain
to the excited and scared men. After smiling
suspicously about for moment FL Mandi

menced tickling his big palate with the many
dehcacies thereon. When all of the edlbles
were demolished the sagaciOus animal reached
his trunk over the bar and took bottle of
corked. but a little deXterOus manipulation of
the trunk overcame that trifling difficulty and
the entire contents of the bottle were disposed
OF with the apparent gusto and relish of an
old topper. Having satisfied his appetite and
thirst, the elephant numbered over to the pool
lable ana amused himself with knocking the
balls about with his trunk. While engaged
in this innocent play the keeper rushed In,
GREATNESS from excitement and fear, and led
the animal away. much to the relief anu sat

Our Mtnister to Persia.

From the Nel5 York Tribune.
Frederick II Winston, the Minister to
Persia, who started for his post on the Aura
ma Saturday, took small arsenal of small
arms with him. Among other things he had
an elegant gold mounted Winchester rifle,
and a similarly decorated Remington carbine
There was also an ivory handled gold
mounted revolver. These weapons, Mr.
winston explained to me. had been offered to
him. but he had refused to accept them for
himself. He intends to present them to some
of the members of the Shahs family. possibly
to his two sons, in the hope of inducing them
TO examine the merits of American arms and
become purchasers. I'VE make better fire.
Farms than any nation on the globe" said Mr.
Winston. The war developed the utmost
inventive genius of which any nation has any
record, and in the matter of arms it left us
ahead of the world. We ought to have a large
trade with Persia IN the matter OF small arms
The Calling gun people offered TO present me
with Calling gun if l would take 1t out
with me. The freight would have been more
than could carry. The guns cost 81, 800 each
An agent OF the Winchester people, who Is
going to Persia next month, will probably
bring 1t out with his samples of small arms,
[ expect to work mp brisk trade in such
articles -

Secretary Whitney has seldom been more
startled than he was one day last week. He
received summons by messenger to call on
eX-Secretary Chandler at his residence. MIR.
Whitney pinched himself and tried all the
other approved me hodR to convince himself
that he as not dreaming, Yet there stood
the sable messenger, who repeated with in
creased emphasis the request to the Secretary
that Mr.. Chandler would like to see you at
his residence" Secretary whitney was GER

however, Mr.. Chandler might desire to throw
has criticisms into the teeth of the reorganlzer
of the navy, and thereto decided to send his
private secretary to his predecessor for fur
Their information
Mr.. Chandler explained that a mistake had
been made. He did not wish to order his sue
cessor about like a subordinate. He had sent
his messenger to Mr.. Stick "ey, the disbursing
clerk OF the Navy Department, with polite
message asking that gentleman to call on MIN
for the purpose of settling up the vouchers for
his picture which is to be hung in the Secre-
tary's office. The messenger had mistaken
ssuckney for Whitney, hence the amusing
blunder,

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Jesse Wood tells Il good story of a farmer
whom he saw al the breakfast table one MORN
Ing IN the leading hotel at Nashville.
When the waiter hanred the rustic the bill
Of fare, he glanced over it and remarked:
johnny, just bring 'em all in. I'm gosh
burned hungry, and just got in Nashville"
The waiter grinned, and after being gone
for few minutes, returned with dishes that
made great semi circle around the strangers
plate. He counted them all oyer, and then,
with doubtful look, remarked:
''LOoky here, waiter, don't see any pie
and IN mighty fond of pie. too"
say, mister, we don't set no pie for break
fast at this hotel. Only have pie for dinner.
The country gentleman. with a look Of dis
gust, turned to Mr. Wood and SAID
'Neghbor this is a - of a HOTEL
"Why:"
Two dollars daY and no PIE"
Doc BamfOrd, clerk at the Burnet House,
tells a similar story of man who once
stopped at the fremont House in Chicago.

The Maritime Association OF New York
indorses the bill introduced into Congress
providing that a telegraph line be con-
structed, operated and maintained, IN
connection with a Signal Station, at Point
Jupiter, Fla. In its petition the associa-
ton says: "Great advantage, in our
opinion, will result from its establish
ment. All vessels from the Cult OF Mex
leo to ports ON the east coast Of North
America or Europe, and nearly all steam
ers from those ports TO the Gulf OF Mexico,
pass within signaling distance of that
point. The successful work already ac-
complished In warning masters OF vessels
of the approach OF severe storms At other
points, resulting IN the safety and protec-
ton OF life and property exposed to the
dangers of the eea, strongly influences us
in making this request IL is to be
hoped the line will be constructed. with
AZ little delay as possible.

The handsome monument recently
erected by the United States government
over the last resting place of Thomas JEFF
ferson, on Monticello mountain near his
old home, is being chipped aud otherwise
abused by relic hunters who think it their
duty to carry away a portion OF it as a
testimonial of regard and loving affection.
The monument, which is surrounded by
the graves of many of Jefferson's rela-
tives, is enclosed by a substantial iron
fence, but the distance between the per-
pendicular bars is sufficient to admit a
medium sized person. The care, there
fore, taken to keep the gate securely
locked avails nothing. The Waterman,
who is supposed to be employed looking
after this sacred property, is conveniently
absent whenever his services are most
needed. In few years the government
Will be called upon to erect another mon
ument to JefiersOn's memory if the carry
ing of of the present monument by piece
meal continues.

Not long ago the English government
refused to consent to the building Of the
proposed tunnel under the Channel lest
France might take advantage of it to in
wade the island kingdom. Now a Paris
paper expresses fear that England is
making preparations for the invasion OF
France. Everybody knows, it appears,
that the English are constructing very
important Notifications in the islands
which they possess on the coast of Nor
mandy. About a year ago the COnserva-
tive press called attention to the fact, but
the Cabinet had other cares, and the
warning was not needed. The Notifications
referred TO are for the purposes OF attack,
and, says the traRcdiS, can have no other
object than the Decentralization OF an Eng
lish army on the coasts Of France. A
government which has some regard for It's
duties would have asked for an explana-
ton Of the purpose Of such important
works, and at the same time would have
constructed batteries commanding, or at
least multiplying, them; but our Republi-
cans, adds the Francois in conclusion,
have something better TO do than to think
of the defense Of the country.
