The August* Chronicle and Constitutionalist of yesterday says that the moat intense cxeitcuicut prevailed at tho menagerie grounds about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, caused by tho cscapo of tho luigo African lion "Emperor" while being transferred from ono cage to onothor. A very large orowd of l&dios aud children had been admitted to see these ferocious beasta fed,1 which on Mondays are always more savago because they are never fed on Sundays.? But in tho afternoap there were no visitors present, and everything being ready {fie transfor began, and a number had changed quarters, when the cage for the lion was backed up to his temporary quarters for his turn. The door to tho temporary affair was raised, and tho lion very quietly walked into his quarters and the door closed; but as the men at the tongue drew the wagon off the door of the cago was noticed to gently open. Mr. L. M. Hedges was the first to discover this alarming state of things and instantly sprang forward to close it; but it was too lato. Before ho could reach it with his hands the lion's head appeared in the open door and out he sprang. Mr. Henry Barnum and Mr. Driscoe, tho lion feeder, both < met the lion and had narrow escapes. The lion did not go into the stroets, but sought ! that part of the enclosure farthest from the 1 gate, where a camel was looped. The lion i walked down to where the camel was lying, and, taking a squint at him, turned to his i right into a dark place where a string of < wild cat cages were arranged. But before 1 he could select tho daintiest cat, on his ini- I mediate right, he discovered a demure look- i mg lartar yak. No sooner had "J^mperor ' laid eyes on this yak than he bounded over 1 the enclosure, about eight feet high, and 1 alighted upon the back of the neck of the < yak, burying his huge fangs deep into the < flesh, crushing it to death. ] While this was transpiring, of course the * commotion among the fifty men on the 1 ground was very great. While the liou lay i frrtta ftiirgs deeply"bUTtcd lrr~ 1 his eyes glaring, his tail defiantly whipping ' the air, and uttering the most terrible growl, 1 a Mr. Baker, one of the circus employees, 1 rushed iu with a pitchfork, and, mounting ' the top of the enclosure, was preparing to 1 tackle the liou alone aud uuaided. lie had 1 one of his legs thrown over the inside.? The liou saw it and instantly made a spring, * aud sciziug it buried his front teeth iuto the ' calf. A' this juncture several men had ' followed Mr. Baker in, aud seoing his peril- ' ous condition, seized him by the arms, head 1 and shoulders, and by main force drew him ' from the lion's jaws. After Mr. Baker's rcleaso tho lion went back to a corner of the pen aud sat down. IIow to get at him now was the question. It was certain death to euter the pen, and there was uot a gun or pistol in the crowd. Quickly taking in the situatiou, Mr. W M Simpson, who has been with Mr. Barnum twenty years in the show business, procured a rope, and forming a "running noose," 1 climbed to the top of the partition,aud while the lion was in his sitting posture, head up and apparently contemplating tho damage he had just done, Mr. Simpson lowered tho ' rope and most dexterously got it around the lion's neck. Then throwing the other end 1 over a beam, began to tighten tho nooso around the brute's neck. Anothor rope was fixed around his neck, aud when all was ready, the men below tightened their rope, and about twenty of them began to <lhaul in," while tho lion lay breathless within.? Ho made but feeble resistance, and in a few moments was safely caged, more dead than alive. This animal is one of the largest of its kind in the United States, as well as tho most intractable. The yak was valued at ?2,000, and is oue of only four in tho United States. A number of ladies of the city have heretofore procured locks of its hair or wool, it being very fine and silky. The Wonderful Telephone.?New York, April 4.?Professor Bell made an experiment with his telephone over the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company' wires " between Boston and New York, last night. The professor was in this city communicating with his assistants in Boston. The experiment was a groat sueccs. Everything said by tho professor's assistants was plainly heard by those in attendance here, the conversation being carried ou at the ordinary rate of talkiug. Professor Bell told his assistant to "Go ahead and play ou the organ." The music catnc through plainly and distinctly, the operator sending a chord through at a time instead of having to send by the single note. The assistant then sang "Yankee Doodle," which was as plainly heard as if ho had been only a few yards off. While in speaking his voice was just as distinct as though it was through a tube from the bottom to the top of the building * It is probable that arrangements will bo made for utilizing the system iu sending ^ messages and press reports * V . hamctoi'b uii lpttkr xu Washington, 1).

I shall uso all of my authority to repress the use or tho exhibition of force in tho settlement of all disputed questions, and this authority shall bo exercised in such a manner that the peace shall be preserved.

No ono can be more deeply impressed than myself with the imperative necessity of establishing cordial relations between all classes aud both races in South Carolina; for it is only by these means that tho true and enduring wclfaro of tho Stato can be secured. With the recognition of the perfect equality of every citizen before the law, with a just and impartial administration of the laws, with a practical aud secure exercise of the right ofsuffrago, with a system of phblic education which will open the sources of knowledge to all classes, we may hope to >ce our State soou take the position to which ihc is entitled.

It was through tho coufilcncc of the people of that State, that I would honestly and faithfully carry out all these purposes, that I was elected their Chief Magistrate, and I feel profoundly th^pcace can bo surely preserved therfe and prosperity restored by our people, that the right of local self-government, so prominently brought forward in your inaugural aud so favorably received by the whole country, is to be promptly carried out as tho rulo of your Administration.

All Fools Day in Ohio.?Cincinati, April 1.?An unusal number of ingcnius and successful hoaxes were perpetrated here to-day. Free excursions of various kinds were advertised, and drew hundreds of unsuspecting people from their homes, who could with difficulty bo uiade to bclievo that they were "sold." Nearly the entire Board of Aldermen assembled at the Grand Hotel in the morning, in response to a printed invitation to join an excursion over the New Southern Railroad, including free luuch at Lexington, Ky., and general inspection of the line of the road. They waittcd a long time before they caught the idea. Two or three hundred people were hoaxed by a bogus free excursion train to look at suburban property. A hundred or two more assembled at a certain rendezvous to take a trip upon a steamer, which was found to lirvo no wheel. Nearly all the undertakers in the oitv wcrfl victimized hv tclcrrruma direetinir them to meet and take charge of a corpse which would arrivo nt the Little Miami depot, on a certain train. Sc^en hearses and the undertakers' wagons astonished each other by arriving on the ground about the same time. ? There arc ten printers in the United States Senate. This alarming state of things should have a tendency to keep boys from learning the printing trade, but we fear they will not heed the warning. When a young lady begins to look at the clock and keep up a steady fusilade of yawns it is time for the young man either to put on his hut or quit talking about the weather and couio right down to business. f * THE SLEOTSOSCOPS. 18 THIS MAHVKL ' 'fb BE TIJE NEXT ACHIEVEMENT Q# MODERN BCrE^C^ f . l?o The Editor or The Sun?Sir': An eminent scientist of this city, whoso nauio is iwithhehl for the present ] is said to be on tpe point of publishing rf kcrics of important discoveries, and exhibiting an instrument'invented % him; by means of which objects or persons stabding or haoving in any part of the world may be instahtanoously seen anywhere and by anybody. The utility of the electroscope is undeniable, audi if the invention proves successful it will supersede in a very short time tho ordinary methods of telegraphic and telephonic oomniunication^JBy^ertbs or samples of them, to any custoinor supplied with the sauto instrument, whether in Liverpool, London, Paris, Berlin, Calcutta, Pekin, San Francisco, or New Orleans.? Fugitive criminals plSced iu the cloctroscopo can be instantly identiGed by the polico authorities iu any part of the globe. Mothers, husbands, and lovers will bo enabled tor glauco at any tiuio at tho very pcrsous of ' their absent children, wives, or beloved ones. Painters may rotaiu their paintings in-their studio, and yet exhibit them siin- 1 ultancously in all the gullorics of Europe ! and America provided with the invention. ' Scholars are thus enabled to consult in their own rooms any rare and valuable work or manuscript in the British Museum, Louvre. ' or Vatican, by simply requesting the libra- 1 riaus to plflce tho book, opened at the dc- ' sired pago, into this marvellous apparatus. ' The electroscope will undoubtedly supersede 1 the ordinary methods of telegiM^hjy-oa k- f matters very little how long or how short 1 may be tho message transmitted by it; not 1 to speak of the advantage of being nblo to * read when desired, the original despatch in c the handwriting of tho sender. Aud further, in ease the telephone, the new instrument for carrying musical sounds, should succeed aiso in transmitting ordinary ? conversations, a combination of t'ac okctroscopc and telephone will be mado which will f permit pcoplo, not only actually to converse ^ with caeh other, no matter how fur tlicy arc F apart, but also to look into each other's eyes, t and watch their every mien,expression, ges- t turo and motion, while in tho electroscope. 8 Both telephone and electroscope applied ou s a large scale would render it possible to rep- 1 resent at one time on a'hundrcd stages in 1 various parts of the world the opera or play 3ueg or acted in any given theatre. The actors and singers will prcsentt of courso, ever, will not aiwwys prove realty unpwasawt to the audience. The iuvenrton is based, as far as knowu, ou the priuciple of transmitting the waves of light given out by objects, iu a manner similar to the transmission of sound waves by the telephone. Everybody knows tliat the sensations of color which we perceive are due to the varying strength and rapidity of the undulations of light emanating from the objects we look upon. Now, the electroscope consists, to all outward nppca% ancc, of two empty boxes, or rooms, accord* ing to the Bizc required. Ouc of the compartments is the transmitter, the other the receiver. In both compartments one side or wall presents the ends of a multitude of quasi-elcctiic wires of a peculiar make and consistency. Each of these innumerable wires transmits with the utmost accuracy the faintest and strongest undulations of every delicate or heavy wave of color that strikes it horizontally from some object or person opposite to it. Thus many thousands of wires of the thickness of a line . carry conjointly the undulations of color emanating from a painting less than a foot square. The wires arc twisted outside of tho instrument into a cable, which may be extended to its destination above or below ground, or through the water. On entering the rfcccivcr the cable is untwisted, nud each tiny wire is made to occupy agaiu its proper position in the sido or wall of the com partment. Tho box, or room, acting as the receiver, differs from the transmitter in being' constantly kept filled with a newly ! discovered gas, a sort of magnetic-electric j ether, in which the currents of light or color become resplendent again, and by means , of which the objects or persons present at the time in the transmitter are reflected as \ accurately as in a mirror.?Electrician, in N~. Y. Sun. Til f. Ellention Cases.? A number of letters have been received at this office, asking what disposition is to be made of tho Ellcnton cases?parties indicted being anxious to know when to come to the city. In answer tn these inquiries, Acting District Attorney Wm. Stone, states that the Ellcnton riot cases will not come up for trial at the present term of tho court, but will be postponed until the May term of the court, wheo Chief Justico Waite will hold court in this city, lie states further that all the cases will uot be prosecuted, only thoso considered the most flagrant in the opinion of the District Attorney. It is very probable, however, (and this docs not come from Mr. Stone,) that the whole prosecution which was, of course, intended for political effect, will be quietly dropped.?Journal of Commerce. A Popular Delusion.?Tt is an error to suppose that n man belongs tc- himself. No man does. He belongs to bis wife, or bis relations; or bis creditors, or to society in some form or other.? It is for their their especial good and behalf that he lives and works; and they kindly allow him to retain a percentage of bis gains to administer to his own pleasure or wants. He has his body, and that is all ; and even for that ho is answerable to society. In short, society in the master, and man is the servant; audit is entirely as society.proves a good or a bad master, whether the man turns out a good or bad servant.

It referred, however, to some eighty ncu who had been teamsters in the army, cut to Utah under Col. Albert Sidney Johnton to escort the new Governor, who reduced Brigham Young in 1857.

A gentleman who was then among he Mormons in Echo canyon und now reading in this city saw a small division of sight or ten of these teamsters under Mornou escort on their way westward. The Mormon military authorities thought it prulent to divide tho teamsters into small iqunds, no doubt thinking their purpose sould bo easier accomplished than if they lad beeu kept together in such a body.? rho Mcrmons deny that such a massacre ?ver occurred or that such an order was 5vervgivrtfn;Stft"tho8c wj,0 ha<j given the sub: ect attention have no doubt the order was ssucd and the work accomplished. . Tiik Horns of tiik Dilemma.?If Mr. Hayes can read the following well-told sto*y without understanding his duty as to Louisiana and South Carolina, he uiay be jet down as incorigiblc : Does Mr. Hayes recollect how Henry Clay, when he was in Washington, once had ?ome fun with a goat ? No? Then we will tell him : Mr. Clay observed a knot of street Arabs, 011 pleasurable thoughts intent, gathering around a goat that was dozing in the sun and rolling an old boot like a sweet morsel under his tongue. 'What's up, boys?' he said, affably. "We're a-going to have some l'un with the goat," replied the urchins. The great Whig statesman looked up and down the street; no 011c was in sight. He lovcdTun, but he had never enjoyed it in connection with a goat, "Roys," said ho, ' I believe I will have a little fun with the goat too. How do you get it out of him?" "Grab him by the horns," explained a boy; and with tho divine confidence of Robinson Crusocor a Mason of the thirty-third degree, Mr. Clay seized the goat. It was a powerful goat, with an abiding love of liberty, and it was pretty doubtful for a while whether the goat's horn's would come off or Mr. Clay*8 arms bo torn out of their sockets.? "Roys,"panted Mr. Clay, "boys?what?do I?do next ?" "Do next ?" replied the boys, taking refuge behind lamp posts, ash-barrcls and similar fortresses, "why, let go of them horns nnd run like blazes?" Mr. Hayes' dilemma has got two horns, like the goat. He had better let go of thcui both and "run like blazes." IffcATfWjfisil.-Sogc tea is one of the very beat washings nnd dressings for the hair.?

M . % QBAST DICUBIKG LEE'S 8W0BD A MYTH Editor* Richmond Dispatch:?i eg sorry that you allowed to pass unehallcngo< the item io your paper from the Bango (Mc.) Whig about Grant's magnanimity ii decliuiug to rocoivo Lee's sword, &c. Several years ago you published a lottei from your correspondent "Viator," giving Gen. J^ee's own aooount of the surrender, ir which ho denied most emphatically that h< ever tendered his sword to General Grant, 01 hftdiftuy idea of doing so. In "Personal Rouiinisccnces of Leo" thor? . is also a fVill statement of General Lee's own account-of the surrender, the following oxtract fVom which settles tho question : "General Lee said that when ho mot General , Grant they exobauged polite salutations, and he stated to him at once that hedesirod . I ? - - .? vuhiciuucu 111 roiTcnco 10 me subject-mattcr of their correspondence. 'General Grant returned you your sword, did he not, General 1" ono of the company asked. The old hero, straightening himself up, replied iu most emphatic tortcs : 'No, sir! ho did not.? lie had jo opportunity of doing so. I was deteruiiucd that the side-arms of officers should bo exempt by the terms of the surrender, and of* course I did uot offor him mine. All that was said about swords was that General Grant apologized to mo for not wcariug his own sword, saying that it had gone off in his baggngo, and ho had bceu uuable to get it in time." This spoils a great deal of rhetoric about'Grant's magnanimity in returning Lee's sword, and rendors as absurd as it is false the attempt of Northoru artists to put the scene on canvas or into VWWft tnfhrtnaltcff-TiTst^c scone' will not save it when the world knows that It. E. Leo said that nothing of tho sort occuri red." (Ttemiuisccnses of Lee, pp. 303-304] The sword scene, tho "historic apple tree," &c., are more inventions of army correspondents, which so please tho fancy of the "saviors of the Union" that ilicy aro being constantly repeated. Grant's terms to Leo wore magnanimous; but he knew full well that they were the on I v terms which Lee would have accepted. J J. W. J.

This section is well adapted to the growth of the grasses and nothing has been iu the way of this culture, but the everlasting cotton.? Southern Home.. Dkath of Rill Aki\?From the Fort Worth (Texas) Daily Democrat we clip the following item : "Rill Arp, late of Georgia, the man who furnished the witticisms uud odd sayings, which Charles II. Smith prepared and published some years ago, was accidentally killed ucar this place (Decatur, Texas), Monday, March 5th lie fell from a wa^on loaded with corn, the wheels passing over his nock, killing hiui instantly.? When he left home in the morning lie told his family he would never again be permitted to enter the house alive ; and, strange to say, he was within lifty yards of the house, on his return, when the sad accident occurred, which terminated so fatally. He was a remarkable man ; perfectly illiterate, but replete with original ideas aud witty sayings. He rarely ever spoke without saying something pithy. - ? The Southern Christian Advocate of a recent date devotes a portion of its editorial space to the indoccncicsof the secular press. Tho'moving cause of the Christian Advo catc'a remarks was the appearance of two head-lines, "Jerked to Jesus" and "Jlcmpcd to Heaven"?the former in a Western paper and the latter in the Atlanta Constitution, both being over descriptions of executions. It is one of the functions of the press to be an exponent and guardian of public morals, and it is ccrtniuly a criminal misuse of a great power to thus set examples of gron blasphemy and irreverence. The sacrifice of decency and morality to attempts at wit is u growing evil of- the press. Onlj persons of deba cd minds can enjoy sucli gross breaches of good morals and goot1 taste.
