A strange man was tlio “Professor,” ns lie was known among his comrades in the mine. He had lieen for some months at Dead Man's Gully, and, and getting tired of tlie monotory of working a claim which only showed pay dirt—although he might stand a chance to “strike it rieli ’ on a lower level—he had one day left his partner to work the claim, and, taking his pan and shovel, had gone out on aprosjiect. One day he snt down by the side of a little creek, which came creeping over the sand of the foothills, and, tired with long Wandering, took off his moccasins and dip|>cd them in the water,-and hurled his feet in the shining sand at the bottom of tlie shallow stream to cool them. Something in the feeling of the sand gave him a strange thrill, and, stooping, he took up a little in his lia.id and look ed at it. A moment later ho hud a pan ful on the lunik and was was washing it- in the dextrous fashion which only the old miner knows, and when he had lln- ished, nearly half an ounce of gold dust lay at tlie laittom of the pan, anil he had “struck it rich." This singular man was strangely care less about his lucky ilnd, and had no thought of keeping it for himself. lie fore he went, he marked down sev eral claims, and stuck up notices, writ ten in his round clerkly hand, chuckling lieliintl his.long beard as he did so. He came Strolling j.ito Dead Man’s Gully before tlie cradles had ceased ts work next day, and went at once to his claim, where lie whispered a word to his partner, ami |iassed on. Jiin Moyd gave a long, low w histle, hut, with a miner’s instinct, continued his work, although lie had little interest in the pay dirt which hp was turning up around him. The Professor passed claim after claim Ix-foro he stopped again, and at last halt ed before one when- a young man was working a cradle, while a gray-haired Ilian, old and feeble, was slowly turning up the dirt at the bottom of his claim. The young man had a fair, delicate face, and looked up quickly as the Pro fessor stopped. “Hullo, Jenny!” he slid, with Ids jolly air. “How does it pan out?” "Not very rich," said the young man, with a weary air. “Pay dirt—that's all you .can say of it.” I lie nickname of “Jenny” had been bestowed upon tin* hovon account of his feminine ap|>e'arance. rhe two laid come to tlie Gulcli rather laic in the day, so that their claim was not a very good one, all the likely places having been marked down. “Pome totny c.»t!n to-night, after sup- |wt, Jenny,” said tlie Professor. “I want to tell you something. Bring the old man with you, and don’t forget.” “I’ll come," he said, quietly. “Ami to keep quiet about it?” “ V es. lie sure and come.” Ilcpassed v on,juid spoke to..several other parties, and then went home. By the time lie reached it, tlie sound of tlie cradles had ceased, and Jim Floyd came hurrying in. “Keep cool, Jim!” said the Professor. "Wo am all right; hut don't howl it to tlie four winds of heaven. Wait for the others.” lVad Man’s Gulcli was quietly at rest, when dark tlgures began to steal out of it, in the dead of night, and headed for a little knoll to the west. In a few moments the whole party were there, and at once set out on their midnight tramp for the new find. As the sun rose they reached the bor ders of the little creek and threw down their tools, when the Professor explain ed the situation to them, mid each party juuqs'd into his claim and commenced to work as if life depended on it, and among the first were “Jenny” and his father. "Kinder easy, partis,” said an old mi ner next to them. “It’s along, steady pull that does it. That Professor is a brick.” "1 would lay down my life for him,” saiil Jenny, “for he has saved my fath er’s life. J didn’t say anything at Dead Man's Gully, hut we didn’t makeenotigli to buy grub. Now we are all right.” “Should say we was,” replied the mi ner. as he litokcd into the till cup in which lie had just washed out a handful of tlie sand. “We ought to go down on knees and bless the Professor. ’'Piin’t many who would have taken the trouble to mark dow n claims and then come and tell his pards.” Two ot the younger men took their ri des and went out into the foothills to look for game, and had the lnck to strife a (young liear, which they brought ill, and the party had fond for several days. But before two dnye had passed the miners had begun to flock in from every direction, and Gold Bar sprang into be ing. With the rest came many darkbrowed men, w ho did little work in tlieir claims, and were looked at with suspicion by tlie honest miners. There was one man especially who was an object of suspicion—a tall, laiard- isl fellow, who went under the aobrie- quet of “Colordo Cass,” and who was a walking armory. He had como into the camp with four other men ns unprepos sessing as himself, and before many days his true business was developed. He was a “can! sharp” of the first quality ; and, putting tipu big slab shan ty. he ojiened it as ngainhlli.g place, and set out to beat the miners out of tlieir dust. One day, as lie was passing about aiming the claims, he met old Mr. Stan ford face to face, ami each started back in astonishment. Then Colorado Cass gave one quick loon at Jenny and passed on, nod the boy staggered and seemed about to fail. • Cur-o him!” cried the old man, lay- log his blind upon his revolver. “He has made us trouble enough; I’ll what lead can do!” “No father!” cried Jenny. “You must not quarrel with the villinn, al though lie robbed you of all you hail. I will do this work myseir. You know that he will not bo satisfied with robbing the miners slowly, and if he takes the same course he did in Cinnabar, we have him. Leave It all to me.” That night, Colorado Cuss was sitting in a room at his Rambling place, and his four companions with him. Th ey had been engaged in earnest con venation for some time. “The thing amounts to this, pards: We may as well commence work now J've marked down the cabins where ths^ have th<‘ moMt. t night. The lVaoest-r is our be reidv at 1 o’clock.” At the appointed hour the party as sembled and began to gather about the cabin of the Professor. It was known his claim was financially rich, and that he had over twenty thousand ilollars in dust. But the camp had been so honestly conducted that no one thought of watch ing, and it is not surprising tint the par ty of villinns were able to make their wav into the cabin unseen Perhaps, they might have completed their work in silence and departed, but the man who led, in entering, stumbled over something in the doorway and fell. The Professor was on his feet in an In stant; but In-fore he could draw a weap on he went down under a crashing blow from tha butt of a revolver. A dark lantern, in the hands of Colo rado C’ass, Hashed, and the bunk of the Professor was torn to pieces, sliowin be low it n number of shot-bags, which no doubt contained tlie gold which the Professor had collected with such’ trouble* “All right!” hissed Colorado Cass. 1*a cry man take wluit he can carry!” Kadi rnttian picked up in bis arms a load of tlie lags, and started for tlie door. At this moment, a slight figure apjieared there, and a dear voice cried; “Trapped, Dick Manton ! Here they are, hoys! Down with them! Kobliers arc in the camp!” Without a moment’s hesitation, Colo rado Cass tired at the speaker, who was Jenny Stanford, mid he staggered. Before he fired again, the Professor bounded to his feet, with a bowie in his hand, while the companions of Colora do Cass sprang through the open door. •Colorado Cass found himself locked in the sinewy arms of the Professor, and a terrible struggle took place. The knife did silent but awful work, and tlie Pro fessor sprang up just as the aroused min ers began to pour in. Colorado Cass, badly wounded, was secured, and the Professor sprang to tlie side of the won mled boy. “If he is dead, 1 stvear that lianginc won’t lie the worst you sutler, you black villain!” he cried as he licgan to tear away tlit necktie from the bine hunting shirt which Jenny wore. “Where’s the doctor?” There was a doctor In the camp, ami lie came up quickly, and pushed the Professor away. “This is my work,” he said, as he opened the shirt to look at the wound. He bail scarcely done so. when he looked up in utter bewilderment at old Mr. Sanford, who was hurrying in. “You old fraud!” he said. “What is this game you liavc ( bcen playing on us? This is a woman!” “My daughter, gentlemen,” said the old man ; “and the liest and purest little woman In California. She said she’d give her life for the Professor some dav and I reckon it’s a near thing." “No it ain’t," said the doctor. “I’ll cure her. Carry her to your cabin.” VJfjou cure her, doe., yen -etur take my pile,” said the Professor. “You know me; and while we are about it, I reckon w e can’t do hotter than to ’tend to these critters. Have you got the others?” Kvery rip, ’ said one of the miners. “1 leave it to you, then,” said tin* Professor. “You know what to do. We can’t have this kind of animal loose.” It was enough to say that none of the men ever appeared again at Gold Bar. The story of Jenny Stanford was a simple one. liiclianl Manton, when she and her father hail lived at Cinnabar, had sought to marry her. but she refused him. Then they were robbed of every thing and driven out penniless. They had wandered from camp to camp to avoid him, and had thought lie had giv en un the pursuit, until lie arrived at Gobi Bar. The Professor never left her, night or day, until she had recovered, and one day the camp was wild with excitement at the news that the two were to lie mar ried, and a “Gospel sharp” was to be im ported from a distant camp. The Professor actually shaved for the occasion, and surprised every one by turning out to be a very good looking fellow, not more than thirty-five years old, and they had suspected him of l H -ing sixty at least. Jenny, now dressed in feminine at tire, was .voted a perfect beauty and the pride of the eainp. The Bar went wild for three days, and then tlie cradles reckon again, and everything went on as liefore. “I didn’t ask what you did with Col orado Cass,’ said the Protv-ssor, a week arter his marriage, as he met Jim Floyd Jim, by way of answer, put his hand under Ids left ear anil jerked an imagi nary eonl, ami the Professor asked no more questions. 11c is one of the shining lights of the Pacific slope now, and there is talk of sending him to Congress, a position which he might have, but he says he is too honest.—Saturday Xight. AFRICA’S DEADLY, MALARIA. _ Only an Isolated Siolloa HI Jta White BaMta- -Vnr York Star. Until within a comparatively recent period the greater portion ol th e continent of Africa has been a sealed book to the world. Thousands ol years after Asia and Europe were seats of great empires tlie vast interior of Africa had never .been explored. It was only cn a nar row strip of this vast continent that civ ilization obtained a foothold. The northern and eastern coasts were the homes of the civilized people from the earliest times, but east of them, for 3,000 miles, the country was an unknown world, save to the native tribes who in habited it. The main reason for this was tlie fact that tile .deadly malaria claimed as Its victim every white man who endeavored to penetrate into the in terior. That certain portions of Africa are suitable for the white man, however, has during the present century been fully demonstrated, although the gener al. Irmit Pott-Dupa&A.

Dr. Strieby. of the American Mission Socie ty, to a Star reporter yesterday, “ii that the whole continent is unhealthy That is a great mistake.” “What portions of Africa are suitable for white men to dwell in ?” asked the reporter. “All of South Africa, as far upas Madagascar, is a fine country, and white men as comfortable as anywhere else in the world. Tlie climate is as healthy and salubrious as that of America. "Do yo recall one single instance in your experienca in which a white man has ever lived for any length of time r” Yes. Rev. Sir. Tyler, a missionary, was atxjiit to go there. His wife was a very delicate woman, and his friends told him he was taking her there to die. That is twenty years ago. I saw Mr. Tyler a year ago, when he visited this country. His wife is a strong, healthy woman, and six healthy children fill the house.” * Key. W. F. Paddock, of St. Andrew’s Protestant Episcopal Chnreh, Philadel phia, said: “What Africa needs is men constitutionally suited to the climate, who possess tlie intelligence, skill and energy of the white man, but do not, like him, fall easy victims to the malari al iiithiciircg and burning • equatorial heats.” “What inducement lias Africa to offer to emigrants?" “It lias immense quantities of salt and vast beds of eoal and iron; rich mines of copper and gold, which lavishly repay all who who work them. The yield of the South Africa diamond fields for 1879 aggregated *18,000,000. Soudan alone, which is more than ten times as large as Great Britain, possesses soil productive enough to supply staple articles of food for all Europe.” “Has the country any internal im provements?” ' “It has six partially completed rail roads iu South Africa, and five other TJWJtcteJf lines across theSahara TJerertT Telegraphic communication is complete from each colony to tlie mother country, and there are several steamship compa nies abroad established, with more in prospect. Thirty English steamers reg ularly trade along the western coast.” “ You speak of a railroad across Sahara; is not that impracticable?” “The Desert of Sahara discloses rich oases hundreds of miles in extent, and fertile mountain regions dotted with towns containing from 10,000 to 30,000 inhabitants.” Rev. Dr. Nicholson, of the Reformed Episcopal Church at Philadelphia, said: \ work of civilization is waiting to be done for Africa, but only colored men can do that work. The white man can not live there. Roman Catholic mis sionaries have tried it for two hundred and fifty years. The Moravians tried it for thirty-four years, making five at tempts, commencing in 1738, and did nothing. Englishmen tried it in 1702, for two years, at Bulama Island, with the loss of one hundred lives. The Lon don, Edinburgh and Glascow societies tried it in 1797; but their missionaries died. Many other attempts were made- before Liberia was settled, all of which tailed. Missions have been established in Liberia, but at cost of many lives. The white man ennnot live and labor there, and it is a remarkable fact that only infinitesimal portion* of the mighty continent are owned by white men.” Rev. Dr. Henry M. Scuddnr, of Brook lyn. was at one time a missionary to Africa. In alluding to the physical fea tures ol the country he said to the re^ porter : “Africa is one of the most fer tile, productive and beautiful countries In the world. There are great deserts, but there are also great lakes, mighty rivers, fertile plains, beautiful forests and lofty mountains. There are water falls which, though not as great as Ni agara, surpasses it in beauty.” “What can bo produced there by the lalxir of tlie emigrants?” “Everything that is necessary to sup ply the wants of man. Tlie soil can produce wheat, rice, cotton, sugar, cof fee, tobacco, dates, yams, plums, pome- granites. grapes and figs. It is an infi nitely producing land, with great capac ities and resources.” When questioned in regard to the set tlement of Africa by white men, Rev. G. D. Pike, of this city,said: “Tropical Africa is a negro land, spanned with a malaria which is deadly to the white man. Of seventeen missionaries sent there by Germany—to the west coast— toil died In a single year. Out of eleven men taken by Lieutenant Gordon to de fend a fort in Liberia, eight died in four weeks. Mungo Park took forty white soldiers with him, but thirty perished liefore he reached the Niger.” “Can you mention a particular in stance where the distinction was mark ed?” “The famous Niger expedition was fit ted out with all conveniences. It was manned by 150 white men and 108 ne groes. They proceeded a few hundred miles up the river and selected a beauti ful site for a model farm. Speedily all the whites were stricken with fever, and the only one was sufficiently strong to navigate the boats to the ocean. Nearly one-third died in two months, while of the 108 blacks, not one suffered from the climate.” This testimony, from persons who are conversant with the country, makes it evident that Africa, in the tropical por tion, can never fall under the sway r ,j the white man, and thatonly the nort' a . em and southern, portion are fitted fo lds reception. 1 ahead.

Now, when I want to teach a setter or pointer ‘steady,’ I just tie a long string to the collar I showed you and attach the string to my wrist.

A few of the bolder Georgia dailies have openly and fearlessly charged home this state of affairs upon the inflamma tory precepts and disreputable practices of tlie Independent party as led by Hon.

There is no questiou but that these and similar —- its i'-s-.j. 1 * -maoeew. _ u€n< to politu They are not confined to Athens or Geor gia. Ill our own State and city these race antagonisms are frequently made manifest, amidmost frequently in the ag gressive conduct of negro children to ward white children, frequently forcing the latter to leave the sidewalk and oth- wisc treating them with rude ness and indignity. If tlie negro were not e voter this tiling would not be so. Certain political par ties flourish and exist only by encourag ing and keeping alive the unnatural an tipathies between the two Rices. It is rapidly becoming with the negro a thing of education, instilled into him by polit ical teachers and taught under bis paren tal shelter. Tlie evil must be remedied at its source. Teachers and parents must be made to see the terrible future conse quences of this unchecked feeling, and must instill other and better lessons into the minds and hearts of the next gener ation. This state of affairs must stop and stop soon. Tlie forbearance of-the impe tuous and hot-blooded Southrons to ward this inferior and but lately servile race, lias never had its parallel in the history of the world. Every day, all over this Southern country, chivalrous Southerners submit to indignities and insults from negroes that they would not tolerate tor an instant from a white man. Their toleration and moderation have beensupefb. But this forbearance, like all things else, has a limit. .The fate of poor Mrs. Watson and her child has at last been defflnitely jnedl Our may readers remem- the description which we gave a weeks ago of the attack of the taught* survivors had been drowned while making, in a leaky little punt, for the mainland. The final of the sad trage dy is told bv the last mail delivery. Mrs. WatSn and her child had es caped murder and outrage from the savages, but were fated to -a linger ing death on a distant desert island. The master of a trading schooner found three skeletons on No. 5 Island oftheHorwich group, and these are proved to be the remains of Mrs-Wat- son, her baby, and her faithtal China man, Ah 8am. A revolver, . tall pocked and loaded, was lying by the toother and child. The- dead China man was found under a tree a few yards off with a loaded rifle at* his aide. There was no water on tlie is land, and the unfortunate castaways had no doubt died from the most ter rible affliction of thirst. Ah Sam had beeti speared in seven places, and the bandages showed that Mrs. Watson, in the midst of her woes, had not neglected to dress the wounds. The presence of mind and heroism dis played by the courageous woman are soen to be even greater than was at first supposed. The flight from Liz ard Island was made, not in a boat, but in half of an iron tank used for boiling brrhe uV inn. The woman, child and Chinaman set forth on their perilous voyage on tlie 3d of October, landed next day on a reef and remained there till the 8th. Then they went from islet to islet In search of water, of which they could not have had a drop for at least five days. During this horrible period of suffering and suspense Mrs.’ Watson kept her diary and never lost sight ot her husband’s papers and account books. The extracts from the heroine’s diary tell us much of the touching end of the harrowing story as will ever be known, but imagination will but too vividly indicate the closing scenes of this brave woman’s life. The supply of water on hand had evidently lasted the fugitives during their earlier wan derings, but prior to the date of the first entry it liad altogether failed. The pencilings iu the diary speak with pathetic force for themselves: Oct. 9—Drought the tank ashore, as far as possible witli this morning’s tide; made camp all day utider th<* trees.

A steam derrick was to have been in readiness to trans fer the monster to a lighter, so that he oould be brought at once to this city and lodged safely in his temporary home In Madison Square Garden.

It was just twenty-five minutes to six o’clock when the order, “Hoist away!” was given, and, with clatter ing of chains, straining, of ropes, creaking of pulleys and puffing of the engine, the box rose very slowly into the air. A slight rocking motion at tended its upward movement, th* cause of which was soon apparent. The box, studded with wooden beams, clasped about with, many bands of iron and dotted wifflii bolts and rings, was closed on every sidebutone. This front was open except for five heavy lateral bars of timber, and as the cage rose above the combings of the hatch a huge, dark, swaying mass was visi ble through these openings. It was head and trunk- of Jumbo, and a . used to enter bis cage at tlie last too* ment, although lio was docile enough at all other times. In addition to the > freight charge of $l,u00 the steamship company expected pay for fifty tons of freight displaced and for two hun dred emigrants, at $30 per head, because tha. emigration, authorities would not permit passengers to be carried in the same part of the ship with Jumbo. ■ ' ' • jcMho’s wiiAky. ; .^eoageinwh 1 ich Jumbo was con- flnetF during tli&yoyqge law feetfv? Inches wide and,I3,feet high, inside measurement. It -is hnade of* seven ineh Umbers of yellow pine, with double lining of three inch oak planks. Heavy bands of three-quarter iuch angle iron, with five incli flanges, pass around the cage in all di rections, and the receptacle is ns strong as stout timbers and iron can make it. It weighs six tons—within half a ton as much as Jumbo. It rested on the flooring of the main deck of the steamer, under one of the framed hatchets, and extended through the shelter deck to the hatchway of the spar deck. The ship had a rough pas sage, experiencing a series of severe gales, but Jumbo bore the journey well. He was frightened and restless at first, and was sen-sick on the sec ond day, but he soon recovered Ids appetite, and was In fine condition when he reached here. His dally al lowance of food was about as follows: Two hundred pounds of hay, two bushels of oats, one bushel of biscuit, ten or fifteen large loaves of bread, two or three quarts of onions, five buckets of water, and apples, oranges, figs, nuts, cakes, candies and dainties of that sort in unlimited quantities. The Baroness Burdctt-Coutts, and other distinguished personages in, London who visited the steamer to say good by to Jumbo just before tlie Assyrian Monarch sailed, left iioxes of candy and buns, of whieli Jumbo is very fond, for Ills use during the voy age. He was a great pot of officers, crew and passengers, and was liberal ly fed with good tilings. He has de veloped a great liking for strong drink and he swallows the contents of a whisky liottle at one gulp, without winking, and then holds out his trunk and pleads for more. Beer he likes, also, and drank dozens of liottlcs dur ing the voyage. He is very fond of the society of his keepers, and one of the two had to re main with him him constantly, espe cially nt night. If they wandered out of his sight lie would arouse the ship with his deep trumpeting* of com plaint. The two keepers were assisted by eleven men In caring for him. The question of duty has not yet been decided, but the Custom House authorities have permitted Jumbo to lie landed under bond. Mr. Barnum claims,that Jumlio is to be used for breeding purposes, and as such should be allowed to enter free. He lias twenty-two other elephants and paid duty on them cheerfully, he says, but Jumbo was originally purchased for breeding rather than for show.

As he watched the results liis countenance suddenly changed—his color and command both left him and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made painful discovery; I have Bright’s eiseaseof the kidneys' and in lesstliau a year lie was dead" “You believe then that it has no symptoms of its own and is trequently unknown even by the person who is afflicted with it?” “It has no symptoms of its own and very often none at all.

I know what I inn talking about fori have been through all the stages of kidney dis ease.” “Yon know of Dr. Henion’s ease?” “Yes, I have both read and heard of it.” “It is very wonderful is it not?" “A very prominent case but no more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means.” “You believe then that Bright's dis ease can be cured." I know it can- I know it from the experience of hundreds of prominent >ersons who were given up to die by 10th their physicians nnd friends.” “Ybu speak of your own experience, what was it?" A fearful one. I had felt languid and ungttrd for business for years But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. I have sinrejearned that one of the physi- cians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, sav ing: ‘there goes'a man who will be dead within a year.’ I believe his words would have proven true if I liad not fortunately secured nnd used the remedy now known as Waruer’s Safe Kidney and Li\-er Cure.” “And this caused you to manutic ture it?” “No, it caused me to investigate. 1 went to the principal cities with Dr. Craig the discover, and saw the phy sicians prescribing and using it and saw that Dr. Craig was unable with his facilities, to supply the medicine to thousands who wanted it. I there fore determined, as a duty I owed hu manity and the sofferitat, to bring it within theirreach and now it is known in every part of America, iS sold in every drug store and has become a household necessity.” * The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with the earnestness and Alncerlty of his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. S.

The great brute rolled uneasily and restlessly from side to side in his nar row quarters and pushed his trunk be tween the bars with quick aud nervous motions, causing his cage to rock very perceptibly in spite of guy ropes aud cables. MettheW Scott, who has been Jumbo’s keeper since the elephant was imported from Africa seventeen year* ago, stood on the ledge of the cage just outside the bars as it rose int o the air. He talked to the animal as ii' it were a human being, quieting and s’oothlug him. Jumbo seemed to understand, for as the cage rose high er in the air he swayed less violently and gradually quited down, so that by the time he was lowered upon the deck of the lighter be had ceased to manifest sign* of uneasiness or fright. At six o’clock the cage was safely sto'wed upon the lighter’s dV'cl £ > and with three rousing cheers and a tigt r for Jumbo/three more for the Assy rian Monarch and three more for Cap tain John Harrison, "her hardy com mander, the assembled multitude saw the lighter, in tow of a tugboat, move out into the North River in the derec- tion of pier No. 1 at the Battery. Up to this time Jumbo had uttered no sound; but when, fora moment, Scott, the keeper, descended from the front of the cage and moved off to speak to Mr. Hutchinson, one of the managers of the show, the animal uttered a hoarse bellow and butted his head against the bars as though he wanted to follow him. As soon as the keeper returned to his side he was quiet agnin, and from that time on either Scott or William Newman, the American keeper who went to England to fetch the elephant to this country, had to remain in his sight. If they showed any indication of leaving him he manifested his displeasure by bellow ing. When the lighter reached the battery pier at seven o’clock the whole of the First ward seemed to have turned out to welcome Jumbo. Near ly two hours were spent in landing the cage and adjusting to it the low broad wheel truck which was to be the means of conveying Jumbo through the streets to Madison Square- Garden. A team of sixteen horses was in waiting, and these, after much delay, were finally harnessed to the cage and it was started on it way to the Garden, where it arrived without nccident. Jumbo Is a monster. Mr. Barnum, Mr. Baiiy, Mr. Hutchison and Mr. A ratings tall, the elephant trainer, agree in pronouncing him the largest elephant ever imported. He stands over eleven feet six inches in height, weighs six and a half tons and' meas ures fifteen feet across the head from the extreme tip of each of his enor mous ears. He is twelve feet long and hla trunk is seven feet in length. Mr. Barnum and his partners paid $10,000 for him, and his entire cost, landed in New York, Mr. Hutchison states, will be nearly $30,000. There have r been many unforeseen expenses in getting blip here. In the first place the opposition in London to hip sale to Mr. Barnum was so strong that several lawsuits had to be contested, entailing a cost of $2,000 for legal ex penses alone. Then the experiments in making a cage in which to trans port him were costly, and the expense of bringing him across the Atlantic was very heavy. Passage was engaged for him twice, and two steamers were fitted up for him and provisioned A Serious Charge. Colored Pastor* Accuaed of 8*lllnff Communion Wine to Their Flock* end of Being Drunkards.

Stearns, the corresponding secretary of the society who, it is stated, has been la tlie South a great deal during the last seven years, and therefore “knew what he was talking about." Tills speaker asserted that the great curse of tlie colored population of the South was alcohol, and unfortunately in this, we regret to say, he is a great degree cor rect. But Mr. Stearns went further, and declared with emphasis that “in Savannah there were twenty-eight col ored churches and each paetor mat a con- firmed irhieky drinker. In a Florida church he had known tlie minuter to peddle out what was left of tlie wine after communion to the congregation at five cents a glass.” A Negro Shot by Mistake.
