AN ELEPHANT Farm.
Circus Men Will Raise wfs Animals In
California.

A well known circus company owns GOO
acres in Merccd, CAL, and the firm is try
ing TO obtain 500 acres more To add to
them. Instead Of raising fruit, they will
raise animals. Thoy have come TO the con-
clusion that the climate of California is
advantageous for that purpose, and in view
Of that fact are cndcavor!ng TO get animals
properly mated The firm has man in
England engaged In securing animals He
has been an extensive traveller in South
Africa, East India and throughout tho
world, having made AZ trips between
America and Europe. His whole time Is
devoted to securing animals. The firm al
ready has big stock.
First there Is pair of hippopotamuses,
the only pair any circus has There are two
or three pairs of lions of tho African and
> static varieties; there are IA elephants;
ere nre one pair OF llamas, seven camels,
all sorts Of antolopes, leopards, pair of
tigers (Royal Bengal), one pair zebras, one
eland, one pair of nylghaus, seven kanga-
roos and specimens of all kinds of wild
animals.
The elephants will be placed in a retreat
representing as near rs possible an African
jungle They are the most secretivc of all
the animals and will not propagate in pub
lie. There will bo large cages built for tho
lions and tigers, the floors of which will be
the ground, and in these cages there will
be compartments made Of trees and tropi-
cal plants so that aside from the confnc.
ment Of the grated cages the conditions
will be almost identical with their native
lairs.
In q field ipclosed bya 16 foot high fence
will be tho places for the Glands, nylghaus,
Niger and other antelopes, and In another
the zebras, llamas and camels will be raised
where they will be broken TO work in har-
ness and 10 bear packs similar 10 the work
done by these animals in their native coun-
tries.
1t Is expected that the camel ranch will
be most profitable part of the enterprise.
Camcls breed in captivity even better than
in their wild state, and will be invaluable
for use in sections Of the country where
water Is scarce and where it is impossible
TO drive mules, or where railroad cannot
be built. San Francisco Chronicle,

international Trading in
Our Favor.
Excess of Exports for August
Was $19J94,342.
Early Cancellation Of the Farmers
Debts Is Probable.

Today's weather, following the alter
mating muggy days and tempestuous days
of last week is suggestive of the business
outlook at the opening OF the new week.
Confidence is increasing and there is bet
ter business reported throughout the
country on the assumption that Republic
can success is an assured thing.
In the last issue OF the Commercial
Bulletin of Boston there were three
columns of short paragraphs, each ore
telling Of this or that industry being re-
vived, and OF mill, going back to full
time. Three.quarters OF a column in the
same issue was sufficient space In which
to record the other side of the story.
The gold imports continue to arrive
and engagements up to Saturday aggre-
gate about ;37, ,oS0. The net gold
treasury balance at the present rate OF in
cresse Will this week exceed s!20, 900, 600.
The excess of export for the month of
August was si9, l9s, 3i2 as against an ex-
cess OF imports of sl5, 13I, ,324 last year.
The engagement of ocean freight room
IL unprecedented, owing to the early
crop movement. Grain is still going out
and the exports of cotton for the month
of September so far, lave amounted to
about 130, 600 bales, as Against 35, 900 bales
for the same period a year ago This
shows why gold is flowing to America.
1t means an early cancellation of debts by
farmers and consequent improve msnt in
all lines OF business.
Railroad earnings have not shown as
satisfactory an increase lately as had been
hoped. the westbound shipments being
very light.

To- Rejected stone. Sturgeon has put into
the following paragraph tradition which has
como down from the ages-very beautiful-rich
in moral lessons:
When Solomon's Temple WINS building,
among the stones n very curious one !;
it appeared unfit for any portion Of tho build
ing. They tried it at this wall, but it would
not fit they tried it at another, but it would
not be accommodated; So vexed and angry,
they threw il away. The temple was so many
years building that this stone became covered
with moss. and grass grew around it. Every
body passing by laughed at the stone. Tho
eventful day came when the Temple was to be
finished and opened, and the multitude was
assembled to the grand sight. The builders
said, Where is the topstone? Where is the
pinnacle?' They little thought where the
GROWING marble was, until some one said.
Perhaps that stone which the builders refused
is mean to be the top-stone.' They then took
it, and hosted il TO the top of the house; and
as it reached the summit they found 1t well
adapted TO its place"
1G. On whomsoevcr it shall fall it will grind
him to powder. Gilpin has given a description
of the old method of st0DiDs TO death:
The witness stood OH place about IL or
ii feet high; tue criminal was laid in
proper situation below. The first witness en-
dcavored to crush him with large stone but
if that had not the effect, they threw upon
his heart stone as heavy as two men could
lift"

Another Veteran Goes to the Grand Review.
Cumberland Courier, PineriHe. Kyl

One OF the old and familiar figures seen
on our streets for many years will be seen
no more for ever. Williams Sizemore, who
lived on Straight Creek, not far from Asher's
Mill, died on last Friday, and we have it
from good men who wore the gray that our
great Government starved the old man to
death; that he died from hunger in this en-
lightened age and country of plenty. He
was old, diseased ard unable to work, and
his old wife aud family are in not much
better shape. Mr.. SIzemore enlisted in the
Federal army, and served we'll and faith
fully, as we are informed. In the year 1879,
nearly 20 years ago, he filed application for
q pension. and from that time until the day
of his death he had worked and looked for
that which would have made comfortable
his declining years. but the authorities put
him off from day to day until the days grew
into months, the months into years; until
he grew feeble, old and gray, and at last,
despairiug of any relief, he lay down and died
of broken heart, weary, thin in body, aud
hungry.
We are Informed by Capt. John W. Culton
that only few weeks ago Pension Ex-
aminer was here, and after looking into Mr..
Sizemore's claim, said his proof was as good
as was ever made, and that there had been
ing him pension.
Capt. Culton further says it was procrasti-
mated in the hope that he would withdraw
the application lie had on file under the law
OF 1890, which would not have allowed him
any back pay.
Well, it is too late to do him any good
now, but we desire to say that such action
is not in accord with our views of what the
country should do for the soldier, and fur
ther. it is directly the opposite to what the
great emancipation, the immortal Lincoln,
said should he the policy of the country
with reference to the soldier, his widow and
his orphans.
On Friday night, when the soul of Size
more met up with that of Lincoln and Grant
on the eternal camping-ground, we imagine
they were ashamed and vexed to know that
one of the boys who wore the blue, and
whom they said should never suffer, had
persisted from hunger and without raiment
to protect him from the Winters blast.

God established the Jewish Church and tried
to gather men into n great organization for
rel igious purposes. He sent prophet after
prophet to stir up the people, but many such
messengers were abused and largo numbers of
them slain. Their number was rcplenished,
but treatment became oven more cruel. At
length Jesus came in person. Amnesty ragged
against him and he was put to death. He
went into far country" Heaven; assembled.
Ho appointed ministry with power to con-
tinGo their number and build up the Church.
Tho invitation for membership was broadened
and Gentiles were welcome. But the ministry
was treated sharnefully; many of them became
martyrs. When Christ comes again how will
he treat those who have actually murdered his
Representatives? Longfellow's lines may APP
ply:
Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they
grind exceeding small;
Though with patiei @ he stands waiting, with ex-
ac,ncss grinds he ALL"
And George Eliot had the idea: "That is
the bitterest yoke of ALTO wear the yoke of
our own wrong doing"
