three times around the ring, and rested
before the piano. The audience held
Its breath. The elephant touched the
Keyboard with his trunk, and suddenly
was seen to tremble with excitement.
Irumpeting with rage, he rushed from,
the arena. The keeper retired after his

After the elephant had been caught
his owner reappeared. and made the

the Philadelphia Telegraph. The car
came from Jackson. Tenn, and was
consigned to G.. b. Cock, of Clifton,
Ohio, who, it was understood, intends
to make an exhibit somewhere and
establish museum.
One OF the features of the display is an
old buggy which is built out of the
famous ship Constitution. of the War of
1872, and which, if it ever wears out.
like the celebrated one-horse shay. will
give in every part at once, as it shows
no signs of weakening.
The furniture, which is taken directly
from the home OF the soldier and states
man, President Jackson, is of the
quaint pattern of that day and age,
and forms an unusual study of that
time. The high, old-fashioned bed
steads, with their arrangements for the
heavy, and in the present season, un-
comfortable curtains, the peculiar
carvings on the chairs, and general
mustiness of antiquity over the books
and eases, all add to the appearance of
genuineness of the collection.
The silverware has the same charac-
teristicS,and the entire outfit carries one
back to the historical day of the stern
old general who put down a rebellion
with single message. Hhere seems to
be an cir of mystery about the car, its
owner and where it came from that has
finally taught the clerks about the
office ana yards to refer to the heirlooms
in sort of whisper, as if they bore
some weird connection to the shadowy
owner in far-away spirit land.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 9.-The an
nual midsummer monkeyiHg convention
of the life underwriters of the United
States has been in session in Cleveland
this week. All the big producer"
were present, among them the urbane,
rotund and smiling l.. D. Wilkes, Min
nesota manager OF the Equitable Life
The sessions of the convention were
extremely harmonious, and the deliber-
ations will doubtless result in the usual
number of good resolutions. some OF
which will be lived up to. There
was a banquet at the Hollander,
on which occasion Mr.. Wilkes delivered
an address entitled Every Life Agent
Should Have the Courage OF His Con-
victiOns'' (atter being convicted). The
address bristied with numerous witt
cisms and more than the usual amount
of good advice.
The address was too long to admit of
its being reproduced in full. But your
correspondent ventures to hope thar
some of the salient features of the adj
dress will be found of interest to life
underwriters of the Northwest at this
time. He said that it was not true that

Abiding to the financial conditions
now existing, Mr.. Wilkes declared that
these conditions were but temporary;
that depression was always succeeded
by expansion, and then was the time to
strike. His field agents were to a man
very hopeful. He had received numer-
