the capture of trenches in the Perthes
region yesterday:
"To the north of Perthes. despite
three counter attacks, we have held the
trenches captured yesterday, which are
of greater Importance than the preced-
ing communication indicated. In fact,
we have gained possession of the mill
tary crest on the west of Hill 1876, on
q length of 800 metres, and some
ground to the south 400 metres in
depth.
"This advance gives US not only the
height but the command OF all IL over
looks on the northern side of the ridge,
which extends from Fertnes 10 MaIsons.
The enemy has felt the importance of
this, because this morning he attempt
ed TO recapture the lost ground. A
most violent counter attack was led by
a regiment of the Landsturm, support
ed by the guard. The Germans we're
literally mown down by our mitrail-
leuses. The few survivors regained
their trenches, pursued by our fire.
ITO sum up, all these fruitless at
tempts caused the enemy considerable
losses"

Barnum's Frankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an
elephant engaged in blowing on the
sloping hill where it could plainly be
seen by the passengers on the New
Haven and Hartford railroad, an agri.
cultural innovation that he knew
would get notice of some sort in every
newspaper in the country.
1t was even said that he received
letters from farmers far and wide
asking how much hay one elephant
ate, and if it were more profitable to
plow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen.
His replies were invariably frank,
and were of this purport:
IF you have large museum in
New York, and a great railway com
pany sends trains full of passengers
within eyeshot of the performance. II
will pay, and pay we'll; but if you
have no such institution, then horses
