The Adventures of two Elephants.

ISL Jamess Gazette.1
Two circus elephants had lively tramp
around the environs of Toulon the other
night. The colossal pachyderms were liter
ally ''out on the loose" for they had man
aged to burst their bonds of captivity after
the circus was over. and, while their keepers
were soundly asleep they wobbled out on
the main road OF La Seyne. Finding them
selves free, they began to flourish their
trunks about vigorously and to skirmish for
provender. They first made an incursion
Into number of market gardens, where
they battered down walls and palings with
the greatest alacrity, and proceeded promptly
to root up and to stow away down their
capaclous mouths various specimens of yege-
table produce. They next wandered along
by trim villa, the grounds of which they
entered and demolished conservatory there
In. After this they shifted around bakers
shop at the entrance to the suburb of La
Seyne, being thereunto attracted by the
pleasant odor of new bread. The head baker
OF the establishment was at his door and saw
the aim colossal forms approaching him in
the darkness. He thought the end Of the
world was at hand, and retired inside with
ITepidation, having well barred the door.
Inc pachyderms came on and halted before
the doors, which they began to batter with
their trunks, and to crush with their bodies.
Luckily for the baker his door was good
stout one, so he was able to await possible
catastrophe with comparative calmness.
elephants broke few windows in the bakery
and took to the road again. Spying gypsy
encampment on their way, they rec0nnoitred
1t; knocked down a few of the huts. and
caused terrible uproar in the nomadic set
tlement. The women and children shrieked.
and the men turned out with ,,itchforks too
DO battle with the strange foes. BY this
time, however, the pachyderms were missed
by their keepers, and the hue-and-cry had
been raised Before the gypsy encampment
was completely demolished the circus people
plants were secured, and were duly marched
back to their enclosure.

1t was Senator Morgan, we believe, who
expressed the opinion that the South would
be better off If the negroes were removed
from 1t and settled on the coast of Africa or
some other for-away place. The white peo-
pie Of North Carolina, however, do not seem
to agree with him. So great is the opposi-
ton to negro emigration from that State that
railroad agents have teea driven from the
State and the militia summoned to help de-
tain the colored men.

1t is now that the active and intensely
American small boy taketh his hand-sled in
the early morning and hieth him throughout
the town to gather combustibles for his an
nual tar-bucket. de visiteth his friend the
carpenter, and imploreth few chips and
shavings as starter. Next the paint-shop
cometh in his way, andhe extorteth some
old kegs and dried paint, which causeth him
greatly to- rejoice Then, perchance. he
stoppeth at the sign of the striped pole and
striketh the proprietor for little spare hair,
or some cast-off whiskers, to make 1t siz-
zle," but which he faileth to receive. On his
journey he pickett up any old boot of hide
or rubber, and exc any piece of clothing
which he seeth lying around loose; for the
small boy is not fastidious as TO the compo-
nent materials of his tar-bucket, and any
thing that will create big smoke and bad
smell serveth his purpose as admirably as
would the frankincense of the ancients. His
collections being made, he turneth towards
home, when, mayhap, another fuel-huuting
boy of piratical predictions, intercepteth
his passage and essayeth to deprive him of
his treasure. This maketh his blood to boil.
and his eye to flash, and his fist to fiy out
