Pennsylvania, his elephant Minerva, one
of his six performing elephants, who is
fifty years of age, gave birth to a bouno-
ing baby elephant, wbioh was thirty-seven
inches bigb and weighed over one bnu -
dred pounds. Not only is this the first
instance of any elephant having in cap
tivity become a mother, bat this is the
first oase known Binoe the glsoial era of
an elephant being born outside the trop-
ios. A native born Amerioan elephant is
a wondoriul animal. In Siberia immense
numbers of tbe tnsks of fossil elephants
are found, but sinoe tbe beginning of the
Ohristain era, elephants have only had
their habitation in tbe hottest regions of
the earth.
This little stranger has settled contrary
to the diota of all eminent zoologists the
manner in which the baby elephant
nnrses. Bnffon, Peirault, Howell and
other distinguished writers on natnral
history have asserted that tbe young ele
phant nurses with its trank. Forepsngh's
"baby" proves the incorrectness of this
statement. This “little onss" nurses with
its month. Tbe mother elophant's bosom
is between its forelegs, and the “baby"
elephant stands in front of its mammoth
mamma nnd takes the nipple iu its month.
Then it nBes its Irnnk to press the milk
from the breast, just as women often
use their hauda when nursing
to press their bosoms nnd fa
cilitate the flow of milk. The idea of a
mother weighing seven thousnnd and two
hundred pounds is alone sufficient to ex-
oite intense interest. 8ho was only a fow
hours in ber confinement, but previously
had oooupied herself for days in making
arrangements for the comfort of the ex
peoted stranger. She gathered all tbe
straw aDd other soft material that was ac
ceptable for the oouob, even appropriat
ing a coat belonging to one of tbe show
men, and showing displeasure when an
attempt was made to take it away. When
the baby arrived she was unceasing in her
attentions to it and care for its oomfort.
She lavished osressea on it, patting it
with her trunk and rubbing her great
head againet it. When it responded *o
her manifestations of regard, bUo was
overjoyed.
She evidently thought it very small, but
no mother oonld have more lovingly ad
mired tbe beanty of her infant. When
the showmen handled it she watched care
fully that they did not hurt it. To have
done so would have brought ou a rago
that would have made things extremely
lively; hut she seemed gratified when oven
strangers oame about to look at and pat
the baby. Tbe mother is still devotedly
attached to it, taking oaro that it is clean
ed and fed, and petted and humored,
even in its wilful, babyish pranks.

Crucifixion iu Colorado.
It is hardly credible that iu thin conn-'
try and in thin ago religions fuuttiiiciani
would or could carry uuybody of nowi-
uallv Chrintian men bo fur uu to oruoify
another and leave hitu expoaed to the ele
ments and tho wild aniuiuls and birds of
the air to waste his life away. And yet
ueh a fact is vouched for by a missionary
correspondent of the Church Journal and
the Churchman as having taken plaoe
recently iu Wostern Colorado. There is
uot m that region a mile of railroad or
river navigation; tho arm of the
law is woak there; the naturo of the
country renders tho pursuit of farm
ing, manufacturing or grazing interests
next to impossible; and yet there is a
magnet iu those hills and streams whioh
is drawing and will draw thousands of
good, bad und indifferent persons to that
part of the 8tato. Travel is, therefore,
almost, if not altogether, on foot or on
horseback. The missionary writes ask
ing for money to buy a horse and light
wagon with whioh to reach his appoint
ments, one of which is at Dei Norte, an
other at Saguache (thirty-five miles dis
tant), a third at ilook Cliff (thirteen
miles farther on) and others ut Silver*
ton und Ovray, and iu other directions
tho people are clamorous for his presence.
Of the degenerated descendants of the
Fizarros, the lordly Spaniards and tho
proud native princes of Mexico who in
habit that part of Colorado and whose
Catholic Iraiuiug he says has only eua-
bled them to cling to the dry husk of
their religion, he writes: “Out in the
country we have tho Mexican ‘■penitent•
' whose nominal Christianity has only
served to dotermino the time and manner
of their penances. Last week, returning
from ttaguache (“a wizard”) I tried a
short cut, and, riding over a little hill,
came suddenly upon a band of four.
Naked, except for a pair of drawers;
thoy were walking barefooted
through the snow, chanting some
melancholy strain, and lashing their bare
bodies with whips of soapweed leuves. It
is no poetical exaggeration, but tho literal
fact, that the blood waH ilowing rapidly
down them. Their bodies looked like
raw steaks, ond the heavy sound of the
lashes told of the reality of the flagella
tions. Home little distance from them
stood a largo wooden cross, which, I was
told, had been carried in procession by
one last year. Its weight must bavo
nearly broken his back. Upon it they
crucified one of their number last spring,
binding him fust with ropes and leaving
him so long that he died.
“My narrow limits forbid me to say
more. If any one wishes fuller informa
tion on the subject I will be most happy
to write him with a minuteness which is
here impossible. I will only say to any
who may think of going out as mission
aries:—You will find a field more than
unusually promising, kind people to wel
come you, and a salubrious climate, where
many of tho ills of life—consumption,
bronchitis, asthma and kindred diseases
—are almost literally unknown.” No
wonder that the missionaries asks the
prayers of tho church for snoh
benigned region of our country,
and where is needed, he -says, at least a
score of ably fitted men who can fight
atheism, deism, scepticism and vice un
der all its shapes; where money is want
ed to build churches, to establish mis
sion*, to buy iiibles and books, to scat
ter church and Sunday sohool papers
among peoplo too poor to get them oth
erv/ise, to maintain a living connection
between this “ultramontano” mission and
tbe Mother Church.

cers say thoy wore mostly cut ou public
lauds. The unusually delayed rise of the
creeks had caused groat destitution and
suffering to the logmen and their famil
ies by the failure to get tho logs to mar
kot. The seizure has intensified the suf
fering, because enough logs have reaohod
the west fork to give present relief if it
wore not for tho seizure and blockade.
The fact that thousands of theHc logs
were notoriously cut on private land
causes great indignation at tho arbitrary
action of tho authorities, but no violence
bus been attempted and nono threatened
except by persons who protested against
tho unjust seizure of their private proper
ty. No one there dreams of any except
legal resistance. 8ovoral conferences
have occurred between tho logmen and
tbe Government agonts, and it is now
confidently expected tho matter will be
amicably adjusted, and the blockade ruis*
ed in a few duys.

New Orleans, May Iff, 1877.
Judge D. J. lleid and others, Lake
Charles, Calcasieu 'parish ;
It is reported in public prints that arm
ed United States Marshal’s posse is pre
paring to go to your parish iu connection
with the lumber question. If thoy go
thoy must not be molested or resisted. I
rely on you and good citizens using your
utmost efforts to prevent trouble.
Tho rights cf your peoplo must bo pro
tected before the courts bore, and there
must be no resistance to process of United
States courts. Communicate this to your
District Attorney pro tem. and Sheriff
for their guidance, and inform mo fully
in relation to troubles by telegrum imme
diately.
Francis T. Nicholls, Govoruor.
Lake Charles, La., May Iff, 1877.
Gov. b*. T. Nicholls, N. O.:
We know of no resistance to the United
States officers here. Tho duputjr marshal
has been seizing logs promiscuously, in
cluding to our knowledge timber cut on
patented lands. It is causing a great deal
of suffering. No one contemplates resist
ance to logal authority and nono will bo
countenanced by our people. You will
be fully informed of tho matter by
mail.
