I believe I Khali die if I don't go aud ROC the darling monkeyH !\ Tho bo\H now came running; and al- though MIR, Pipkin warned them that dinner waa ready, ciirioaity proved atronger than appetite, aud away they Rped, following the mauagerie up the road. € * They've atopped ! ,f cried Jack. •* Hurry, and weahall KCO the elephants r^ief'Tafr ^^ffiftr^5«ficr't!rRl , the whole caratun had come to a halt at Wei by'a Brook* A few of the lighter wagona had crORRcd, but the bridge proving rutin r shaky, ita atrcngth WUH to be ttmted before tiu^ heavier wagons should attempt to go over. Tho boys were wondering what sort of test would be applied, when Jack exclaimed, \The elephant ! they are going to try the big elephant on it!\ There were two elephants ; one a huge, formidable, surly toiliihg old fel- low, with monstrous tusks, and a tre- mendous trunk, which he kept constant- ly in motion, now swinging to and fro over the ground, now {Hilling a tuft of grass ami stufling it into his mouth, or using it to brush away the flics from his shoulders and legs, and now casting lit- tle volleyR of Rand over his back. The other elephant was about two thirds grown, ami was without tusks. \ You'd better keep away !'* cried one of the keepers*to the boy*, as they were inclined to press near. \Accidents may happen.*' Wo they jumped over the roadside fenee, and viewed from behind that convenient barrier all that pasaed. The big elephant, was now led forward bv his keeper to the edge of the bridge, where he punned, and carefully placed one foot on the timbers. That was enough. Having felt the atructure shako beneath his weight, he drew back, and was then taken around through the bed of the stream belww the bridge. Preparations were then made to ROhd the heavy wagons across in the same way. AR the farther bank was ateep, the teams had to he doubled ; and so one after another the wagona naspod. \ I wonder what the animals in the cages think, going down and thou up, and shaking about in that way I\ said Moses. At last came the heaviest wagon of nil. Kight of the finest horses were at- tached to it, and it went reeling and plunging down the bank* It crossed the stieam safely, and was ascending tlir» l%wU*«»^ i»«nV t|ie (Mffhfc lioraea apringing with all their might, When ft uttuik iu the mud. ami ail tiieir efforts to start it forward once more were in vain.. Phin screamed with delight. \ They're attiek ! the rhinoceros wag- on IR stuck in the bank, and they never oan get him away!\ \It looks so, by George !** paid Moses. \There'a no chance for anv m*»re horses, as I see ; they'll break Homcthing, if any more are put on.\ \ <>, Pm glad I came!'* cried Phin, climbing up o:t the fence, \ Hay ! Ab, Jaso !\ he called out to the Wei by boys, who had just arrived, \we've got a rhinoceros iu the mud here, did ye know it ?\ \How doyou know it's a rhinoceros ?\ said Jack. \ It may be the lions, Y U wouldn't laugh quite so loud, if the wagon should tip over and they should break out.\ Phin changed countenance, and turn- ed to see if the way was clear behind him. \ Pm going to climb that tree !\ aaid he, starting for a little birch near tho fenee, \Lions can't climb, can they r \ Look f\ Raid Jack. \ See what they are going to do with the little ele- phant !\ The \little\ elephant would have been thought big enough if the enor- mous size of his companion had not made him anpear small by comparison. Viewed beanie the largest horses be- longing to the caravan, his bulk waa immense ; and now an opportunity had arrived to compare his atreugth with theirs. Hia keeper led him down into the bed of the stream, and placed him in the rear of the mired wagon, with IUR none againat it. Then he gave him a signal. The elephant began to push. He did not seem to put forth htR strength, and yet the wagon which tho eight horses could not move was lifted sWwIy and steadily forward up tho bank. The horses did net start until after the wagon did, and then they had little to do but to keep out of its way, until the elephant was withdrawn. The boys wore thrilled with wonder and admiration at this display of docil- ity and power, in the young animal. Jack declared he wouldn't have missed the sight \ for anything ; \ and that he would have •• given anything \ if the folks had all been there to see it. I really cannot omit the ride the M la- dies and \ gentlemen\ had on the young elephant's back, the day of the show. He had a saddle put upon him, surmounted by something which Mr. Pibkin called •• kind of a pew.\ This \how\ waa elegantly cushioned, and capable of seating several persons. ^' Now,\ said tho keeper, ,€ ahy ladies who would like to ride on the elephant cam have an opportrmitj^uali aaju*U not probably occur to them again in the course of their lives.\ Not a lady stirred. \The animal,\ he went on, \is as I ou aee, perfectly docile and harralcRs. lundreds of ladies—some of the first rank—have ridden on his back, both in this country and in Europe ; and no ac- cident has ever happened during thesn performances*\ Thereupon a lady stepped forward ; and, encouraged by her example, an- other, and then another, followed. \I am going 1 would you?\ said MrR. Pipkin, excitedly. \ I believe I will!\ \ Mis' Pipkin ! MiR f Pipkin !\ re- monstrated her husband ; \ its a terri- ble resk ! Don't you VCUtUr*! You'll git a broken neck ! \ \Mr. Pinkin!\ Raid MrR. Pipkin, severely, \ Pm ashamed of yon ! \ Other ladies were pressing forward, and she made haste to take her place with them, while her husband excited a pood deal of merriment by calling anx- iously after her, \ Mis' Pipkin 1 Mis* Pipkin ! you're crazy ! Heavens JIU airth I You're crazy, Mis' Pipkin !\ _ \s many as twenty ladies presented Mrs. P kin bring of the number* mounted the steps ana took seats in tho P- tie cushioned themselves, eight of whom d too box on the elephant's back. \She'ill gft killed! they'll all be spilt out when the elephant goes lo git up I\ said Mr. Pipkin, nervously. \ I declare, If nlio don't beat all tho women !\ The door of the box being closed, Napoleon, at a aign from his master, rose carefully to his feqt, carrying sad- dle and huUca up with him without smiling one. Then the spectators cheered, and the ladies on the elephant waved their handkerchiefs in triumph. . After a few tiirna about the area, the elephant was made to kneel again, and the ladies dismounted. Kight others then took their places, rode round the ring a few times, and afterward retired in like manner. \ Now,\ said the keeper, \ would any gentlemen like to ride ?\ A dozen sprang to their feet, and, strange to any, Mr. Pipkin waa one of them. \Mr. Pipkin! Mr. Pipkin!\ said Mrs. Pipkin, sarcastically, \you'll get a broken neck !\ \ Pm going to have my ride on the THfc Scientific American is indebted to a correspondent at Norristown, Pa,, for a communication in reply to com- meqtf upo^n the above subject. He statrS that further trials, from which mere feJtact data may be expected, will shortly be made; and it is therefore un- neooajiary to give his present letter in full. \ He informs us that the price of eon] at Lamokin, Pa., is $0.30 per ton, and tbe price of crude oil (5j cent* per J afloa in bulk; and, on an allowance of Us. of ooal per horse power per hour as a basis, he figures the relative costs of the two fuels at $5.4() for coal for ten hoars, and 84.37} for tho petroleum, la rcsuect toan allowance of 4 fhs. of coal per hour, he says: \That is, of oeurse, when the boiler And engine are mosl favorably constructed. But you are aware that, as a general thing, this will aot hold good,\ etc. We will here rom/hd our correspondent, and others who are studying on steam power, that a favorably constructed boiler and en- gitotef yftfreily ran, ahould oonsnme not over two pounds of coal per hour per horse power, and it is this ouautity of fuel that they must beat, if they expect to drive coal out of use. We allowed 1 lbs. for the particular engine referred to, elephant as Well as you, by hokey !\ j because more than half the fuel actually And Mr. Pipkin crowded forward into required to do the work is ordinarily the ring. wasted.

Ono of theso was Prttate life of Justice Phage, As the smallest details in the histo- ries of great men are of value, a few wordi about the daily routine of Mr. Chase's life may not be uninteresting. He waa always an early riser, and he took 4 short walk or spent a lew min- utes pver his books before breakfast. The ttorning prayers he read with so- lemnity, first gathering about him all the inmates of his house, down to the humblest domestic From the break- fast-table he went, when Secretary, di- rectly to the Treasury; when Chief Jus- tice there still remained an hour or mot* before it was necessary to leave for tha Court. This was spent in his libhrtV in the preparation of his opin- ions, M writing or dictating letters, in V^Mnra_zUP friends, or leisurely variably walked to the'capilol when tho weathar permitted. The stretch from Edgtwood to the capitol was one that would have discouraged many ayounger and tQfihtfi vigorous man; it was over two milei of rough road, exposed in winter to tbe full sweep of cutting winds; but tho toldest mornings, blowing fiercely at that} Hevet dismayed him. Leaving tho bench at three, ho getaeraUy re- turned in his modest one-horse car- riage The evening was passed in study, reading* conversation with friends; in tho season, he could hardly escai>o a party or a reception. His amusements wer# few and simple* At One time, chess icoupied a portion of almost every eVeniug. Croquet he was very fond of, and played with tho same zest when his hunil had lost much of its strength and precision. Thought of cards was in- tolerable to him; ho would not suffer their presence in his house* Backgam- mon waa one of his favorites, and he wonul often join ia some children's garqei With as much delight da thechihl- ren tbemselvea* For President and Vice-President* i Crude Petroleum for Fnol. These provisions to be applicable ic election of Vice President, Mr. Pipkin, who declared afterward that he \didn't exactly fancy the idee of straddlin' the critter bare-backed ;\ but, having committed himself to the enterprise, he \ wa'n't the sort o' man to back out.\ Mrs. Pipkin, however, seeing the sad- dle removed, was seized with genuine alarm ; and, rising iu her seat, she beckoned, and cried in a shrill voice, \ Mr. Pipkin ! Mr. Pipkin ! don't you ventar' I you will get a broken limb ! Mr. Pipkin, you arc insane !\ to the in- finite amusement of the spectators* The elephant rose, not quite so care- fully as when ho l>oro a fairer burden, but the nine men clung fast, each to the man before him, while the foremost kept his seat firmly on the animal's neck. Ho they were all carried safely up, aud afterwards borne in ludicrous state around the ring, Mr, Pipkin, aa he passed the bench where his friends were seated, waved his hand, and puck- ered his lips about his big front teeth with a droll smile. But his career of triumph was short. Napoleon sudden- ly stopped. His keeper stood facing him, with crossed arms, \ Gentlemen,\ said he, \this is a very docile and intelligent animal, as you observe, but he sometimes has the ague.

Pipkin screamed, \The ladder! quick! take me off! lo' me git down !\ He contin- ued to shake, harder and harder, like a small mountain swayed to and fro by a violent earthquake, and off went two gentlemen over his tail. He shook again, ami off went two more on one side and one on the other. The next man was Mr. Pipkin, He clung fast to the body of the man before him, who did the same to the next, who hugged as for dear life his fellow on the ele- phant's neck. But iho ague was too much for them, r.nd all went tumbling to the ground together. Boars of laughter greeted this final catastrophe, which was considered the greatest sport of the day. Nobody waf- seriously hurt, and the manner in which the men picked themselves up as they fell, and ran away from the elsphant's legs, seemed to amuse everybody ex- kept poor Mrs. Pipkiu. Fish as Food. Fish, aa an important article of diet, is becoming more and more apprecia- ted. It i s believed th*t the use of fish with one meal each day would contri- bute essentially to the activity of the in- tellect, and render one) more capable of brain labor without fatigue or exhaus- tion. By chemical anjalysis it is found that flsh contains a greater proportion of phosphorus than any other class of auimal food ; and this element gen- erallv varies according to the habits of the fish, those of most rapid movement containing tho greatest proportion of phosphorus. Hence it is that salmon and trout are most highly prized, and command the highest prices in our markets. Articles containing a large proportion of phosphorus are consider- ed the richest \ brain food,\ but in land animals this element is chiefly found in the bones, oombincd with lime. \ Th« Propoatd Amend ment of th« Ccm»l!- tittlon of the t ulted Htatea. The Committee on Privileges nlnd Elections of the United States Henate at the last session of Congress were in- structed during the recess to the meet- ing of tho next Congress to consider the subject of the constitutional amend- ment suggested, and to report their views and conclusions thereon to the Henate at their earliest convenience after the reassembling of that body. In obedience to these instructions tho eom- mittee have argued upon the following O ositions as expedient to be em- ed in a new amendment of the con- stitution :— 1.

The Phrenological Journal has re- ceived and wisely answered the follow- ing question from a farmer's son: \ I am 21 years old, and am learning telegraphing. My father offers to give mo a hundred acres of good land (ftO acres improved), and a team, if I will go to farming. What would you advise me to do V\ Answer.'—You have been brought up fo farming, and understand it, and will be at home in it. If you have a good body and strength to work, take the land ami the horses and wagon, and re- solve to bo one of the best farmers in your county. If vou engage in telegraphing, you will have irregular hours, temptations | to fast living, and various excitements, a liability to bo broken up in local, home arrangements, and when you be- ? ;in to want salary enough to support a amily, a boy 1H yt*ars old, or a young woman, who will work for small pay, will take your place, and yon will be left without a business. Take the farm, and become a settled, permanent and influential citizen, Take the farm, and let those learn telegraphy who have no farm offered to them, and to whom such an opportunity will be a blessing. We ' want a million more farmers—good | ones—more than we want anything else ! in this country. There is sucn ill- j advised eagerness on the part of multi- j tildes to rush to cities and railway lines • to become merchants, artisans, rail- j roaders, operators, speculators, «vc., that the lands are left uncultivated, or siirrendere 1 to shiftlcsH Americans, to foreigners, many of whom arc ignorant of American ideas, uncultured in all things, and calculated to make very in- different farmers and not the best of citizens. But they are becoming mas- ters of the soil, aud Americans are be- coming the floating, landless popula- tion in their own country. Take the farm* Sponges, The collection of sponge in the Levant is dignified by the title of fish- ing, and partakes very much of the na- ture of the process practiced to obtain pearls ; inasmuch as divers go down in some eight or ten fathoms of water, ta- king with them a triangular-shuped piece of stone to conquer the buoyancy. A rope is attached to this stone, and held by companions in the boat. Once down, the diver's object is to wadv rapidly to the pieces of rock bearing tho growing sponge ; this he rapidly tears off, till he has as much as he can conveniently carry, or li li his power of remaining below is exhausted, when he pulls his rope, and is rapidly kauled up into the boat. In somo parts ef the Kast, though, the diving is not prac- ticed, but the sjK>ngcs are collected from shallower water by means of a fork at the end of a long pole. In this way the pieces are forced or dragged from the rock, but very often at the expense of the sponge, which is thiiR made ragged and unsalable, A similar process is followed out in the West In- dies, a long fork being used in place of the (living.

About 60,000 bales, which, with the old hops on hand fit to use, will leave a deficit of say *15,0(H) bales, which must be supplied by importation. The quality will not on the average compare favorably with last year's crop, when there were scarcely any really poor hops. With a tight money market, and brewers not inclined to purchase except for present use, and dealers buy only to fill orders ; and they are offering from forty to forty-five cents for good to prime hops* There is no present de mand for poor hops, though those of fair quality may fiud purchasers at thirty-five cents. New York df alera are offering to de- liver good Continental hops, later in the season, at forty-two and one-half cents. Most brewers would prefer prime American at forty-five cents. The Dry floods Trade* A reporter visited a large number of the leading dry goods merchants of N»w Vo*k to Uuuru iim effect produced on the trade by the Wall street dis- turbances, tho present state of the trade, and its prospects. Among all the firms called upon a most cheerful and hopeful state of affairs seemed to exist. The panic created a stato of distrust, and there was in most instances a large falling off in trade for a month past, compared with the same time last year. This seemed more particularly to be the case with commission dealers, but the trade was on a firm and not an inflated basis, hence not so extensively affected by the panic as some other branches of business ; the manufacture and demand were nearly equal, and but for the dis- trust created by stock gamblers, the fall business would have been better than that of any previous year. Tho latest panic had no perceptible effect, and orders and collections have been steadily on the increase. What Transportation Does. A writer in a monthly magazine in discussing the transportation question, says that tho effect upon value of land per acre of a change of one cent per ono hundred pounds in value of crop ranges from 7f> cents in Kentucky, the lowest, to 81.08 in Nebraska. Thus, from a farm nine hundred miles from New York a change in freight rates of one nine-hundredth of one cent per one | victims of a terrible scourge. 8he was hundred pounds, or one forty-fifth of Agnes, the daughter of a United States one cent per ton, per mile, will affect j naval officer deceased, and was adopted | the value of wheat land in Illinois one dollar an acre- The t 'former peddler of Vermont fell out with Vanderbilt, and their quarrel was worth, dunng the year 1870, one-fifth of a cent per ton per mile to the farm- ers; $9,000,000 on the crop of wheat alone, if it had all been shipped at the reduced rate.

The death of pensioners does not cause any decrease in the amount of pensions paid. Whenever a pensioner dies his pension goes to his dependants, so that now the dependant roll of pen- sioners is two-thirds of the whole; that is, one-third of the amount of money paid as pensions is received by pension- ers, and two-thirds by dependants.

General Custer kissed the largest num- ber of \little girls\ and \ladies 43 of the former and 07 of the latter, but was not partial to the babiea.
