PASSING OF THE ELEPHANT.
II II Said That the Circus Favorite IL BE-

II II Said That the Circus Favorite Il BE-
coming Scarce.
There is a wall in the New York
Ledger that there is every reason to
believe that elephants, like the Ameri>
can bison, are fast disappearing. In
1886 a worker in ivory in Sheffield, Eng
land. endeavored. in all seriousness, to
figure out how long the elephant would
last. His own house, he said, had in
the one year used 1880 pairs of tusks,
which meant the killing of more than
that many animals, for not every ele-
plant yields two tusss of ivory to the
ivory hunter. That the African species
is fast disappearing there is little doubt.
There are many elephants in Ceylon,
and from that island most of those that
are displayed in travelling menageries
and geological gardens come. The
Snowman has very little use for the
African elephant, because he is less in
telligent than his Indian cousin and
much meaner in disposition. The AZ
rican elephant is the longer-legged and
slnaller-bodied animal. Jumbo, who
was half-breed, had the long legs of
the African and the body of the Indian
elephant. Jumbo was undoubtedly the
largest of all elephants, standing IL feet
eight inches in height. The largest
elephant remembered in India was one
ridden by the viceroy in 1880. which
stood ten feet four inches. Col. Pollock
records that the king of Burmah had a
sacred white elephant which was two
inches taller.

CARRIES DEATH TO MAN.

Awful Power of illuminate of Mercury
Used m Anarchist Bombs.
illuminate of mercury, which is used
by European anarchists in the manu-
facture of their bombs, is one of the
most treacherous and powerful explo-
sives known to science. Heretofore,
says the New York World, it has been
employed in percussion caps and
as detonator for nitroglycerin
preparations. 1t explodes when SUBJ
jected TO a slight shock or to heat, and
not few expert chemists since its
English inventor, Howard, have been
seriously injured or killed while pre-
Earing or experimenting with it.
In France some years ago the cele-
brated chemist, Barruel, was manipu-
lating this dangerous product in a
heavy agate mortar when his attention
was ST ldenly distracted, and he let
the pestle down with a little less care
than ordinary. The explosion which
followed almost literally blew the NOR
tar to dust, and it tore Barruel's hand
from his wrist. Another distinguished
chemist, Bellot, was blinded and had
both hands torn off while experiment.
ing with illuminate of mercury. Justin
Leroy, French expert in the manufac-
ture of explosives, was one day en-
gagged in experimenting with this COM
pound in damp state, in which con-
dition it was supposed to be harmless.
It exploded with such force, however,
that nothing of M, LEROY, that was
recognizable could afterward be found.

Here 10 what John Sherman said in

1.-The utter ruin that would come to

tons, by the entire demonstration Of
silver cannot be estimated by US. Take
one half of the solid money OF the world
out of existence, take the sole standard
Of more than two.thrds OF the human
race, reduce il to a base metal, and the
effect upon the commerce OF the world
would be incalculable. II cannot be
done--It will not be done. These two
metals have travelled side by side from
the beginning of time. The records Of
human history do not go back to the
time when they dill not move together.
They have varied in value, sometimes
one and sometimes the other being the
higher, but they have gone on, gold the
money OF the rich, and silver the money
OF the poor, the Que TO measure acquired
wealth, the other to measure the daily
necessities OF life, and, sir, 10 act OF con-

ment the relations OF these two metals to
each other, nothing but the act Of God
can destroy the use OF them by man

LAWYERS WE'RE HARD FIGHTERS
Distinguished Attorneys Who Battied

Distinguished Attorneys Who Battied
Bravely for Their Clients
Clients love hard fighter. and the
onlookers are impressed with his zeal.
In my own experience, says writer in
the Southern Magazine, have had
cases where advised my clients not to
sue because l was sure they had no
chance, and although they followed
my advice, instead of employing other
counsel, they refused to pay reason
able fee, and in one case left me to pay
the court costs. And have seldom adj.
vised client to compromise or submit
to arbitration that i did not displease
him. 1t requires moral courage to adj
wise one against his inclinations, but IL
IL sometimes lawyers sacred duty.
Whatever may be said as to its moral
gard this aggressive and partisan spirit
more conducive to modern success than
profound Judgment, for / have seen
lawyers succeed chiefly by reason of
IL in whom the logical faculty was not
at all conspicuous. In speaking of
success, it will be observed that do
not mean the eminence of such men as
Erskine, Writ, Webster, William Pinck-
ney, Rufus Choate and Charles O'Conor,
but such success as is attained by the
leading members of the bar in every
town or city of the United States, who
have a good practice, sometimes very
lucrative, though they are unknown to
fame and forgotten outside their
neighborhood when they are gone.
