LEAF SOC.ALS THE THING,
New Variation on the Old Methods OF
PAIRING Off at a Sociable.

A very attractive entertainment
called the "leaf social" was given by
the young people of a little country
town as means of raising money for
new books for their library, says the
Philadelphia Press.
Leaves were cut from green cambria
to resemble those of different forest
trees and garden plants. There were
two Of each kind. One was given by
the door-keeper TO each lady on enter
ing the room, and its mate was put in
to large box. When the company
had arrived the leaves in the box were
shaken and sold to the gentlemen, who
paid 25 cents, then drew a leaf from
the box without being allowed to see
it until he had it in his possession.
That entitled him to supper for him.
self and lady. He could know her
only by the leaf which she wore pinned
to her dress, which must resemble ex-
actly that purchased by him, even to
the color of the thread used in VEIN
ing. Much amusement was found in
the attempt to match the leaves, and
the stiffness so noticeable in many So
ciables was entirely overcome.
The table was decorated with leaves,
and at each plate was leaf cut from
white paper, on which the one who sat
at that place must write a rhyme, con-
tanning the name of the leaf, and SIGN
his name to it. All who failed to
write the rhyme were required to pay
a fine of 10 cents.
A lady gathered up the paper leaves
no ,n OF Ho ! I
read the rhymes aloud without men,
tioning the names signed. Then
vote was taken to decide upon the two
best rhymes, and the authors of them
each received 4 beautiful house plant.
There was table also presided over
by two young girls dressed in white
with garlands of green leaves. On
this table there were exposed for sale
penwipers, watch pockets and other
articles which could be made in the
form of leaf
After tea black board was fastened
to the wall, and lady and gentleman.
both blindfolded, were led up to it and
two pieces of chalk, one white and one
colored, given to each. Their duty
was to draw the outlines of n leaf with
tIc Willie tudlh anu vein II with the
colored chalk, then write their names
and the name of the leaf below their
work.
The veining often came far from the
leaf drawn, and the names were often
written across the work. but it was
very amusing 10 the spectators.
When the couple at the board had
finished another couple was blindfolded
and put to work. All the work was
left on the board, and when the COM
pany tired of the play the board looked
more like a Chinese puzzle than ANY,
thing else. An appropriate prize was
awarded for the best drawing and a
BOBBY prize for the most comical, and
the small sum of 5 cents charged for
he privilege of striving for the prize
land at the same time amusing the
help"d to swell the library
'und.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 15.-At 1880 o'clock
tins morning the fourth span of the ILL
fated Louisville and Jefferson bridge fell
into the river. This proved to be the
most frlghtful of the many disasters
which has wrecked lives and swept away
fortunes IN manner almost inconceiva-
ble
At IL o'clock 1t was known TWENTY-FIVE
men had been killed, as that many dead
todles had been recovered from the water.
The bodies were most horribly mangled.
The loss of life may go TO fifty. The
shocking accident was witnessed by men
employed along the river front and by
the boats plying up and down the river.
lhe ferry company at once sent two
boats to assist IN securing tie bodies of
the dead and dying and rescuinp the
workmen still alive.
About sixty men were at work on the
span when 1t gave way End plunged them
into the river. Both banks of the river
were soon crowded with people. Many
women were IN the throngs and it was
apparent there were present the wives
and children OF those who had gone down
to death. Three patrol wagons were kept
busy and the guards were assisted by the
fire department in carrying off the dead
and the injured. The wagons could not
go TO and from the hospital fast enough
to receive those taken from the river.

The Kindly Elephant.

Talking of elephants, the book
store habitue said to Louisville CO1lY-
ier-JourpaL man, there is an elephant
story that has been told in our family
ever since | was a boy which illus
trates the sagacity of the beast, as we'll
as his remarkable loyalty to friendship.
The incident happened over in New
Albany in the early '30's or there
abouts. At that time the circuses
were rather small alrairs-one ele-
phant, few animals, and some horses
generally constituting the entire outfit
and when they came TO town the
men were always entertained at an inn
which was on Main street, where the
old DePauw house now stands, while
the elephant, cages and horses were
housed in the livery stable in the rear
in the allev. The hostler of the stable,
Cooper by name, though an intemper-
ate fellow, was a genial host TO the
circus animals. and a great friendship
existed between himself and My Lord,
the elephant. He was kind to the
beast, which, in its clumsy way, man
ifested a great regard for the hoStier.
"On the occasion, which lives in To-
cal history. HE circus bad arrived and
was winding its way through the mar
row allev into the stable when prone
on the ground in the middle of the al
ley WAS discovered Cooper, the hostler,
in drunken sleep. The horses passed
around him, but as the elephant came
shuflling along every body who wit
messed the episode expected to see the
hostler stepped upon and crushed.
When the big beast reached the limp
form he stopped short, inspected the
obstacle, and then wound his trunk
around it. The crowd shuddered;
surely now he would throw the man
and dash him to pieces on the stones.
Cheers went up, however, when the
elephant placed the Cooper
carefully on his back, with the evident
intention of taking care of a friend in
distress. He bore him safely into the
livery stable and tenderly deposited
him in q safe place among ,hc nay"
