Terrific Scene with an Elephant*
The Philadelphia papers of last week, give the parti
culars o* a most terrific scene w rich occurred in that ci
ty with the gieat Elephant Columbus. The KeejM*r,
Mr Kelly, named, hat since died of his wounds:
As his keeper, William Kelly, was preparing hint for
the afternoon performances, and in consequence ofhis
bem,” struck, he seized Mr. K. with his trunk,and rais
i ighiin into the air, dashed him twice to the ground
with the utmost violence, breaking his right leg ml
thigh in a most shocking manner, and causing many
other very serious injuries. The peculiar cry of the cn
ianged animal, as he seized Mr. Kelly, warned those
m the other part of the building ol what was going on,
and rushing to tis quarter where the elephant wus kept,
they succeeded in snatching the wounded man out of
the way as he was about being seized a third time.—
He then commenced a general demolition of every thing
within his reach, tearing a number of cages lo atoms,
and hurling their fragments in every direction.
At thiu tune the utmost terror and excitement prevail
ed. lue furious annual, on first coining from his quar
ters* P r ‘ ceeded round the room, as if in search of some
one, and then returning, seized with his trunk a large
cage containing two hyenas, a wolf,a jackall, and some
twmtv monkeys, and carrying it into the room, after
whirling it a moment in the air, dashed it into a thou
sand fragments upon the floor, scattering the animals,
and killing some ot the smaller ones. Sonic ran away
utidlnd themselves, w i le others, terror-stricken and
furious, ran about t w . w hideously. Two
elephant do -vv im p'ocinc.l ams thrown into t!;e
ring I beau dogs arc used in India to hunt the de
-land arc there i aim and to avoid his feet and trunk
while they actively fly about, nttackmg him in the most
vulnerable parts, and holding him until he can be secu
red. But on this occusion they were Iroth struck by
die elephant, and so maimed us to be cntiicly useless.
They were accordingly removed, and preparations
made for shooting the animal, by order of Mayor Swift,
who having been sent for shortly alter the accident to
the keeper, proceeded immediately to the scene with a
large body of police. A gieat crowd had by this time
ntsembled around the door both on Walnut street and
George, and the large police force v , hardly sufficient,
to keep back the crowd, v jo, dtip u tne ig
seemed anxious to rush iu and um as the terrible actne
of havoc.
In th- in*-aiitime the elephant was doing great dam
age P ii the fixtures of the establishment within ins
reach, tearing down railings, demolishing the arena,
and shivering every thing like wood work to atoms
Herr Driesbach, who was present, used every effort to
intimidate nnd subdue the animal by his well known
voice, but in vain. A grappling hook, with a strong
rope attached, was thrown into the ring, with a view
to catch it in the animal's hide, the thickness of which,
however, proved impervious to the assault. Thirty or
forty muskets had also been procured from the armory
of the Washington Grays, in Franklin Hall, and these
were loaded and kt pt in readiness tor use, in the city
watchbouse, in Geoigegneet, adjoining the back of the
managerie, in the event of the animal s es. aping, as
Ins viciouscharacter was well known. Loaded mus
kets a ere also placed in the saloon of the building lor
the use of those who were in the sid* boxes endeavor
ing to catch the elephant.
At length n plan was suggested by Mr J J Nathans
■ of Welch s Nation al ircus, which proved sue e a.ui,be
’ ing similar to that used in Charleston, a few year ago.
, A siiong rope w*as tied in a tuun.ug noose in such a
position that the elephant, in ruumg at those who pla
j ced it in its position, must tread in the noose. Tins he
did, and immediately the persons who had hold of the
rope pulled, and succeeded in catching him by one of
the fore legs, when a strong f* rce was at once mustered,
and efforts made to pull him to the recess at the south
west corner of the building; but the animal, now more
furious than ever, ran towards the boxes which de
scend from the front gallery to the arena, and in endea
voring to ascend, crushed the steps Alc, to atoms
with his immense weight, tearing up the benches on
either side of him as far up as one fourth i>f the ascent,
hurling the pieces at the same time in every direction,
and leaving die place a perfect wreck. Finding that it
would not sustain his weight, he retreated into the are
na, where, after some trouble, a number of large hooka
attached to ropes, were very adroitly fastened into his
ears, and he was then hauled up into the recess before
mentioned, where, by the sell poaa*tio:i and courage
. ol Herr Driesbach, he was completely subdued.
During the enactment of these exciting ami alarming
scenes, the Mayor, acconqmmed by a number of the
police, made hi* ap{K*arance, and guve such orders as
the circumstances of the case called for, and the police
were station* .1 in the front and m the rear ol the build
in on George street. Two a x pounders were placed,
one in front and the other at llic back of the Alanag
erie, with a vi**w to shoot the animal should he attempt
to make his exit at either point. A number of small
arms were also brought, to be used iu the event of die
smaller animals escaping from their cag-’s Fortunate
ly, however, there was no necessity for uring them
Not l’ ss than two lh<>usand persons were assembled out
si.:e die building, and about fifty in the interior of it;
aud die crowd did not disperse dll about six o'clock in
the evening.”
The i*rt>s
The art is perhaps the mightiest instrumentality ever
contrived by man, for the exertion of moral influence.
The Rev. Dr. Adams, in his late aidreas at Yale Col
lege. remarked

Mexican Population and Resources.
I he Ann York Herald gives us the following statis
tics .
I he population and wealth of Mexico are now grea
ter than at the close ol the 18th century. According to
the best authorities, the inhabitants were classed as tol
lows: *
1793. 1812
Liiropeons, 7.9ui \ 1,000,000
v\ hite Creoles 677,458 \
i and other castes.... 1,478,426
Total, 4,483,529 7,015,509
I he last estimate was that made by the government.
Ol the sev n millions, ocoOpying Mexico, only nliout
•io.doo o{ ail classes, except whites, can read and write;
j dthe 1 .000,0000 whites ne-halfare males,and these, the
I highest estimates make only one-fifth able to read and
write ; of a population ol 7,000,000, there are only 100,000
who are in any r • p.*ct fitted to take part in public affairs,

It will be perceived thsi the tobacco duty had not bee,,
levied 1746. In Ibo 2lt revenue from that tax a
mounted to 4,5M),000 piastres This revenue, it will be
seen , independent of any income from customs • it is
merely from a syslem of internal or direci luxation -
We can form some id-a from this of the revenue which
ecu he ,1. nved from that country under a more econo-

Item Iy Against Moths.
It is an old custom with housewives to throw into their
draw IS every year, a number of fir cones, under the
.de i tint their strong resinous sine!l might keep awsy
the moth. Mow, ns the odor of these cones is due to
turpemms, it occurred 10 Reaumur to try the efli ot o*’
j Ibis volatile liquid He rubbed one side of a prece of
doth wnil turpentine, und put some grubs ou the other
Hie next morning they were all dead, and si ange to
“ay, they had all voluntarily abandoned their sheaths.
On smearing some paper slightly with the oil, and put
ting Hus into s bottle wuli some of the grubs, the weak
est were immediately killed ; the most vigorous strug
gled viorntly lor two or three hours, quilled their
sheaths, mid died in couvulaknis. it was soon abund
ant y evident that the vspur of oil or apuita of turpen
tine acts as u terrible poison to the grubs. Perhaps it
may be tajd that even tint remedy is worse titan the
disease, but as Reamur justly observes, we keep away
horn a newly (.aimed room, or leave offlhr a lew days
0 coat from which stains have been removed by turueu -
tine, why llieu call we not once a year keep away a day
or two, trom rooms dial have been fum.igated with tur
pentine I
It is, however, surprising, how arnall a quantity of
turpentine in . ured, a small piaat ol papei or linen
just moistened therewith, and put into the wardrobe or
1 es, -ingle ('■/, two or *!iree times a yaar, ia a suf
.l. *, iu (a -eri. lion . gum,>t ni-tlts A small quantity
of luipeiitiue dissolve 1 in a liltle spirits of w.ne uhe

remove the 1 ensive odor, und yet be a sufficient pre
ervotivs. The lume* of burning paper, wool, linen,
feather., and ol leather are ui-o elleetual, for the insects
p risti in a very thick smoke, but the moat e.reetuaj is
liiatol tohaeoo. A Coat am riling of tobacco is sufli
cienl to preserve n whole drawer We tiust our lair
readers will not scold us for thus oflbrdmg their Hus
bands or lovers another addiiionnl excus. tor perpetu
ating a laid habit. The vapor of turpentine and the
smoke of tobacco are also elkctu.l in driving away
spiders, silts, earwigs, bugs and liras Tlie Inner lor-
UH Ulers are ao übuudatit on tlie continent, as frequently
to deprive the weary traveller of hia bight’s rest If he
