Origin of "Seeing the Elephant." About thirty-years since, at one of the theatres, a pageant was in rehearsal, in which it was necessary to have an ele? phant. No elephant was to be had. The "wild beasts" were all traveling, and the property man, manager and stage di? rector almost had fits when they thought of it. Days passed in the hopeless task of trying to secure one, but at last in? genuity triumphed, and the elephant was made to order, of wood, skins, paints and varnish. Thus far the matter was very well, but as yet they found no means to make that combination travel. Here, again, tho manager, stage director and propertyman struck out, and two "broths'' were duly installed as legs. Ned Cox, one of the true genuine "b'hoys," held the responsible position of fore legs, and for several nights played that heavy part to the entire satisfaction of the managers and the delight of the audionce. The part, however, was a very tedious one, as the elephant was obliged to bo on the stage for about an hour, and Ned was rather too fond of the bottle to remain so long without "wetting his whistle," so he set his wits to work to find a way to carry a wee drop with him. The e}'es of the elephant being made of two porter bot? tles, with the neck in, Ned conceived the brilliant idea of filling them with good stuff. This he fully carried out, and elated with success, he willingly undertook to play four legs again. Night came on, the theatre was densely crowded, the music was played in the sweetest strains, the curtain rose and the play began. Ned and the "hind legs" marched upon the stage. The elephant was greeted with round after round of applause; the decorations and trappings were gorgeous. The elephant and the prince upon his back were loudly cheer? ed. The play proceeded?the elepnant was marched round and round upon tho stage. The four legs got dry, withdrew one of the corks and troated the hind legs, and then drank the health of tho audience in a bumper of genuine "ele? phant eye" whiskey, a brand, till then, unknown. The concluding march was to be made?the signal was given, and the four legs were staggoring to the front of the stage. The conductor pulled the ele? phant's ear to tho right?tho four legs staggered to the left. The footlights ob? structed the way, and ho raised his foot and stopped in tho orchestra! Down went the fore legs on the leader's fiddle ?over, of course, turned the elephant, sending the prince and the hind logs into the middle of tho pit. Tho managers stood horror-srruck?the prince and tho hind legs lay confounded, the boxes in convulsions, the actors choking with laughter, and poor Ned, casting ono look, a strange blending of drunkenness, grief and laughter at the scene, fled hastily out of the theatre, closely followed by the leader, with the wreck of his fiddle, per? forming various cut and thrust motions in the air. The curtain dropped on a scene behind the scenes. No more pa feant?no more fore legs?everybody eld their sides. Music, actors, pit, boxes and gallery rushed from the thoatcr, shrieking between every breath?"Have you seen the elephant ?" -* A Fbeedman's Organ on the Bureau. ?The colored people of Mobile have a paper called the Nationalist. A colored man writing to it from Now Orleans, says: "A thousand times better would it be lor the colored man were it abolished, for, instead of being a safeguard or pro? tection for thefreedmen,it is only a place in which freedmen's rights are bartered away; it serves only to engender bitter ' ness and hatred in the hearts of the very people with whom we expect to live, die and be buried. * * * The sooner it is out of the way tho better for all parties concerned." We always knew that the better class of the negro es objected to the Bureau as strongly as the whites, and we are glad to perceive that their opinions are getting into print in a way that can throw no doubt over their genuineness. -? ? The Internal Revenuo Bureau, act? ing under the general law, requires all i citizens of the South to render income returns for the year 1864 as well as for 1865. Some of the rebel officers residing in Alexandria, Va., aro startled by the calls of Assessors upon them to furnish the required statements, and are sur? prised that the rations received by them in the Confederate army are estimated at forty cents. One of them expressed his readiness to pay his tax in Confederate money, but this was, of course, declined. A Prediction Yerified.?In 1859 a gentleman by the name of Talbot Green, of Tennessee, afterwards an officer in the late rebel army, published a popular work entitled, "A Winter in the Federal City," in which he positively asserts that "An? drew Johnson, in spite of the fates, would be Chief Magistrate of the United States before the close of the year 1865," that "his administration would be stormy j that he would labor under extraordinary embarrassment, but would eventually make one of the most popular Presidents that ever ruled in America." ? A returning soldier was accosted by a boot-black with the usual salutation, "Black your boots-, sir, make 'em shine !" Looking at his unpolished "gunboats" in a contemplative way, the war-worn vete? ran replied: "Well, I don't care if you do; fall in promptly though." The ur? chin gazed a moment at the soldier, sur? veying him from his "leathors'' upwards, and then turning to a comrade near by, shouted out: "I say, Bill, lend us a hand, | won't yer ? I've got an army contract!" i ? A very respectable lady of Union City, Indiana, who has b een a very strong Republican in her feelings, came to the polls and offered to vote, which of course, was refused, when she replied very indig? nantly: "Just as I thought?niggers be foro women." ? A Washington letter writer tells a droll story of the President, by which it would appear that he was shaved theoth- j ?r day, when the barber aocidently tweak? ed the nose a little too hard. "Pardon me," said the barber, very naturally. "Put your-hand in- my coat pocket and pull"out one," rejoined the Chief Masis trate, "and I'll fill it out for you when j you've done." ? Some slandering bachelor says it is j much joy when you first get married, but' it is much more jawy after a year or so. j From Washington. "Washington, May 15. The President returned to the Senate, to-day, the bill for the admission of Colo? rado as a State, with his objections, which are merely on grounds of insufficient population The President remarks, in 1 the course of his message, that if the in? formation submitted in connection with this bill is reliable, Colorado, instead of increasing, has declined ii* population. In his concluding remarks, the Presi? dent says it is a common interest of all the States?as well those represented as those unrepresented?that tho integrity and harmony of the Union should be re? stored as completely as possible, so that all those who are expected to bear the burdens of the Federal Government shall bo consulted concerning the admission of the new States, and that in the meantime no new States shall be prematurely and unnecessarily admitted to a participation in the political power which the Federal Government wields?not for the benefit of any individual State or section, but for the common safety, welfare and happi? ness of the whole country. Washington, May 17. Tho Senate passed the West Point ap? propriation bill. It contains a provision prohibiting the appointment of any Ca? det who has served in tho ajrmy or navy of the late Confederate States. The Consular and Diplomatic appropri? ation bill was passed. The House resumed the consideration of the tax bill. A letter from General Grant was re? ceived recommending an incrcass of the regular army, for the purpose of supply? ing the place of those troops who are now going out of service. -? News in Brief. ?

Scraps, Facts and Fancies. ? In Jeffcrsonvillc, Indiana, on Sun? day last, ten negroes were arrested for insulting white people, exposing their per? sons, and other outrageous conduct.
