EN. JAMESs COZNNER has made a final
settlement of his busines as Receiver
.f the GreexvileaLd Coluiblia ]Rail
road Company., and bas retired from
is position. During his control of
the road, General Conner managed its
affairs with a fidelity and skill which
proved of great benefit to all the par

THE Senate In executive session, .on
Wednesday afternoon, voted down a
motion to reconsider the vote by
Which, on the previous day, the ap
poi utinent of Judge Wm. B. Woods.as
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States was con-,
ramed. The confirmation therefore
stands.
TnE Oolumbia l6/listei' maintains
that the Legislature had no right to fill
the vacancy occasloned -by Mr. Colt's
resignation-holding the statute under
which the election was had to be un
constitutional. Our contemporary's
reasoning seems neither clear nor
strong. The arguments would at all
events have had more weight if pub
lished before the election of a succes
sor to the late incumbent.
EDOGUAPIY Is the nalime given to a
liew method of decorating silks and
other fabrics, and it is expected to
supersede embroidery. The cidograph
ist. uses hollow pencils which are
charged with a fluid metallic com
po11und. On exposure to air the metal
hardens instantly. Every known color
can be produce(. Designs traced with
the pencils become indelible, Jastlng
as long as the materials on which they
are traced. Glass can be stained, and
wooden-ware and pottery decorated in
the same m'anner.

Mr. Hutchinson, one of Barnum's
partners.
BEUIND TIE SCENES.
"The sing barn," said Mr. Ifitebin.
son, opening the door of the long
building at which the company had
alighted. The ring barn is a cormpart,
mont eighty feet square, with stalls for
thirte-s1 x horses ou' thIree sides of it.
In the corners of the other side are two
dressing rooms. In the centre there
is a rint fo'rty-tour feet in diameter, of
the ordinarv circus pattern. The floor
of the ring is of' earth, ind tihe woodlen
rin around it is carefully padded to
prevent iijury to the practising riders.
Mr. It. Dockrill, equestriian director of
the combined shows, had completed I
his morning work of trail)ing the new
er-formning horses for next season, but
e Illustrated the manner In which the
rides practised. Fron the contre of
the ring rose a structure someting like
a derrick. It consisted of an upright
beam, with a horizontal timber ex
tending out from the top. The hori
k.ontalt iece revolved oil a pivot. From
the emd f'rthest * 'oms the centre pole a
rope depended. At the cnd of the
rope was a strap made into a loop.
T'he rope worked on a pulley and was
raised or lowered by a ina standing
[t the centre Of the r-in1g, whens the
Dandidate for equestrian honors mount
3d his barebacked stoed (no pad riders
are allowed in the show), the strap
was fastened around his body. Tie I
mlan.at the contre pushed the horizon
tal piece around as fast as the man
rode, and thus kept the rope continu
ally attached to himl. If the horse
stuiibled oi' the rider lost his balance
lhe man at the centre pulled quickly
)n the end of hie rope, and in an i nI
itant the rider was dan-flintr in -nid
ir, like a spider, w hileItheTiorse went
falloping onl.
Madai Elise Dockrill's six trainsed
iorses, whsose rlousy coats give evi
lesnce of carefil 11esdanee, stand inI
hc stalls. They are exercised almost,
'very day in the arena to keep them
roms1 forgetting their education. M r.
Dockrill has them in charge. The imad
msn is spending the winster in lier beauti
1ul iome in Fordhsani, where she en

THMi~ ELEPHIANT RO .
The room is eighty feet sqr are, and
has a diiCUs ini the centre like the
korse-strirninre barn. A usan stodnas
the eontre of the ring holding the end
of a rope, At the other end of ttiq
tQpo Was a small elephant rehietatly
s 0Ming around the rng undoi the
5 ' ing of a-keopor, - who puuhed at
his head, and thesprobig of tjo oier
keepers at his flange, Bia"ged' ro
the roonit iyere seventeen otilik &
phants in that peculiar attitude of olI
phantine listlessnes that show visitors
are fanjiliar with. One of them had
evidently beon at roboarsal a short
time betgre, for he was.experljWentilig
all by himself with his fore tbet o1 oVe
of those .tubs on ,whioh perfornming
elephants stand. It is a peoullarit' of
these sagacious beasts that they e)
practising, outside of busluss hours,
whatever tricks their keepers are trv
ing to teach them. Against the wili
stood a movable framework resent
bling a horso's stall. Beside it stood
several tubs, such as elephants stand
on.
"We are getting up a new way of
forming a pyramild of elephants," a
keeper said, $;Tho old way was to Jet
the elephants stand with their hind
feet on the small tubs and put their
fore feet ou a high tub in the centre.
Next season we are goiig to put- one
of the elephants inl place of the centre
tub, and let the others put their feet
on his back. In breaking in the mid
dlie elephant we put him In that frame
work where he can't move. When he
gets used to it we will take away the
frane."
TiE BABY ELEPIIANT.
"Now, Mr. ArAtingstall, show us
the baby," said Mr. Hutchinson to the
head kee per. The keeper stepped to a
fonced-off portion of the room, and let
down two of the four bars. Before
he could drop the other two a big eg
was thrust over the top, tlion another.
Then a short, chunky body followed
half way and stuck fast. ''hero seem
ed to be another heavy pair of logs
dlangling the other side of the bars.
T'Jhero was a short season of w1riggling;
then the rear portion of the body went
ill) and the fore part went down.
There wias a flinal plunge, and there
stood revealed "America" the only
baby elephant ever born in captlvlly;
nine months old, three and a halt' feet
high, 900 pounds in weight, frisky as
spring calf, and clumsier than a
Newfoundland pup. lIebo, the proud
ind only elephant mother, started to
rollow in order to keel) her eve on
her babe, but the keeper ordered her
Jack. Tne baby thought she would
4o back, too, and over she went with
t reckless tumble. That was so easy
that she decided to get over again
eight away, and she floundered out
jideways. She repeated this great
ent with keen relish at least a dozen
times in as manVbiinutes. Next she
mounted the rit of the circus ring,
ind fell off before she had walked ler
ength. Then she spied a tub, and
itepped up on its bottom as she inrd
;een tle otlier elephants do. She
uimped off as soon as she got on to
7ollow a 1111111 who was earin'iiig a pail
)f water. When the man shut tle door
nl her she eani back and dodged
tround under the other elephants who
vere watchiig her antics, and finally
die got spanked with a )ig )board to
nake her hasten her return to the pen
lgail.
America still nurses, and her mother
lever lets her go out loie i f she can
)elp it, though the other finale ele
>iants caress and fondle her, and
vould not see her hurt for the world.
Bly the time she is weaned Hebo's
