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.

long and Woody struggle, in which the principles
of tree govern men t have becu overridden and the*
Constitution trampled under foot?in which-ull the"
angry passions of frail and erring human nature
have been excited and exercised?the Angel ef

sections of our country, and once ugaiu to gather,
around her the goodness, the strength and the'
magnitude of the American Union. At sneh 4

and integrity of the one, and the firmness, the pa?
triotism and the statesmanship of the other.
To the people of Smnter District he confidently*
appeals for their sympathy and patronage.
Identified as ho has ever been with them and*
their interest in the past, he asks to be allowed)
the same privilege in tho futore. He expects to
build up for them a District paper, the course of
which will be consistent, prudent and patriotic,
and one which be hopes will not be wanting in its
influence on the education and training of the*
rising generation. ;
The services of an able nmd talented editor bare
been secured, who will devote his time nnd abili?
ties to the entertainment and instruction of his
patrons, and who will take pleasure in seconding
