[New York Sun, 8th.]
steal a locomotive and half a rail-
train is a mere trifle f<ft enterprising
now-a days, but to rob the maga-
of a fort is something new. On
nesday night a gang of burglars an-
d Fort Tompkins, on Staten Island,
made their way unnoticed to the
-gaziue. They smashed open the great
n door, whioh was fastened by a patent
-verument look, and carried off some
avy pipes and workmen’s tools, valued
t about $50. As the booty was very
envy and bulky, it is supposed they put
on board a boat, and as they had to take
through a considerable portion
the fort it is wondered how they
unged to do so without being detected,
ideally they expected to find something
great value in tha magazine—possibly
powder—as it is not likely they would
to so much trouble and run such a risk
$50 worth of leaden pipes and work-
' i implements. But they were deter-
ed to have something for their trouble,
so they took what they found,
he audacity of the thieves created
siderable astonishment among the sol-
, and some of them laugh at it as a
i joke. The officers are verv angry
ready to blame anybody and every.
, while some of the men express the
ion that if they were permitted to at-
" to their legitimate duties, instead of
ening and doing servants’ work for
officers, such a rokb ry would be itu
mble.
Hindoo Temple in the Jat Jahaoib.
correspondent of a Mofussil paper
ates Chat there is a temple to the God
! Elnmmt, about a mile distant from
e town of Jat, in Jabagir. An annual
air is held in honor of this idol, at which
bout 10,000 people assemble. It has been
eld there for the last fourteen or fifteen
Fifteen years ago a mail, or gar
dener, set up the idol and began to cheat
he people by stating that it had appeared
ere of its own accord. Both men
^d wome visit the temple and worship
e idol. Tho very strange fact regarding
worship is, says the writer, that the
orshippers before commencing the wor-
‘ ip, strip naked, apply powdered anti-
wood to their whole bodies, put on the
rnaments they may have, hold a small
rauoh of the nimb tree in their folded
~nds, and leave their plaoea of residence
visit tbe idol. After visiting the idol
ey go around the temple for a certain
umber of times. They tbeu leave the
‘tuple to batbe in a neighboring tank,
fter bathing they return to the temple,
orship the idol and then return home,
he writer wishes that this indecency
hould be put down. He states that when
he Hon. Mr. Chapman, the present Chief
'cretary to the government, was Collec-
r of B«ttara, he punished some of the
naked worshippers.
—The elephant, like the whale, is dying
out. In India he is becoming almost as
rare as is the red deer in England. The
hunters have driven him farther and far
ther inland. Unless something be done
to protect him he will before long become
upon the main continent, at any rate,
altogether extinct, and Sahib will have to
import his elephants from Birmah and
Ceylon, much as we in England import
our horses from Ireland and our foxes
from any country that will send them to
ns in sufficient number and of sufficient
size and strength.—London Tel.
—Time: Morning. Sister (home from
boarding school, to brother who never
gets up till delay becomes dangerous)—
“Willy, the orient fluues with golden
splendor. Arise! our morning refection
awaits your presence.” [William doesn’t
bear.] Mother (hbouts afterward, and
making a great clattering on the bannis
ters with the broomstick)—W-i-i-i-i-lliam,
got up this instant, you lazy dogskin, you,
and come down to breakfast!” [William
don’t hear.] Father (a few minutes later)
—“Bill?” William (apringiog out of
bed)—“Coming, sir.”

THE
COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN
Is the only thoroughly independent paper South. It believes
we are to win; not by complaining about the past, but
working for tho future. While it gives proper space and
notice to all political matters of State and National impor
tance, it aims to call the attention of emigrants and capital
ists to our great resources and to build up tho South on a
basis that has for its foundation industry and economy.
While disclaiming to be the organ of any creed, party or
society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEMPER
ANCE, MORALITY and RELIGION. Being doeply
interested in the success of tho farmers, and having implicit
faith in the grand destiny of tho GRANGES, tho EN
QUIRER-SUN will devote a large space, under a capable
editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chronicling the move
ments of the Patrons of Husbandry.
