JUMBO AND The LAW.
A Deputy Sheriff Out After the Great
Elephant.

1t was eight or nine years ago, and
the cars containing the animals were
unloaded near the Canal street freight
house, says the Providence Journal.
The animals were guided across Tx
change place by attendants, and the
elephants went along very peaceably.
They hadn't gone great distance,
however, when Jumbo's back began
to itch. The big elephant tried to reach
the place with his trunk, but didn't
manage to. So he stepped from the
line and looked for some suitable place
against which to rub his back. There
were two objects in sight-a big flag
staff and Paddy Burns shanty, which
stood in the rear of the Three Ones
fire station. Jumbo picked out the
shanty, and by the time he had re-
lieved his feelings things inside We're
upside down, and the building had
nearly been removed from it's founda-
tons and showed into the water.
Paddy Burns looked for a lawyer,
and found the late Ambrose L. West.
The attorney issued a writ and gave
it to deputy sheriff, with instructions
to attach Jumbo. The officer present
ed the paper to the treasurer of the
circus and then took up position
near the elephant, but out Of the reach
Of the swing of his trunk.
The bill for damages was promptly
settled, but the otficer said afterward
that if the animal had decided to wall.
away he hadn't any idea how he could
have proceeded to enforce the law by
compelling him to remain.

FRENCH JOURNALISM.
The Fifty Daily Newspapers of Paris and
Their Renders.

Their Readers.
The Paris press comprises nearly so
daily newspapers, the aggregate not
having varied greatly during the last
ten years. Most of these are sold for
one sou. An extremely limited number
is sold for two sous, and two OF three
only for three sous, or little less than
three halfpence. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say, by way of preliminary
comment, that dozen really able jour
nails would be better supported and
better serve the interests OF the public.
The French people. taken as mass,
have little money, says the National Re-
view, to pay for the qualification of the
small amount of literary taste they pos
sess. The novelist, lola, declared in an
interview few months ago that re-
views and magazines like those of Eng
land and America would not find in
France q sufficient number of readers
to justify their publication.
The Revue DIES Deux Mondes is sup
ported by the professional literati, the
learned professions and an aristocracy
of birth and money. 1t is rarely seen
outside these circles. Even the hand
some and readable illustrated news
papers, such as the Illustration and
Monde lllustre, have only a small
circulation, confined principally to the
cafes, though the literary matter they
contain is generally of an elevated char
acter and especially adapted for family
