preseut but they were long and loud It is pronounced by those who saw it as the richest thing that has ever taken place in the county People say it was worth from five to ten dollars to have seen such confusion of men and W013 Ben Carelock col was the principal orator and on every occasion he bemeaned the white Republicans of the county for everything he could tbluk of and told some of them they

party Bis arraignmenz of the Third party aud the white Republicans was simply awful Old men who have been seeing polities all their lives stayed and missed their dinners to see the performances go on and it is generally agreed that there was never such a genuine circus here before While all this was going on in Monroe the Third party was being routed at Moore's school house The Weaverites were to have a meeting and speaking there and the Democrats invited Messrs It Redwine and McIver to go there and meet the Weaver orators When they got there they found two Third party orators there one of whom was Peter Phillips of Mecklenburg The would not give anything like a fair division of time They offered one half hour to one of the speakers or fifteen minutes to each of them without any reply The proposition was not accepted of course and the Democrats waited outside while the Weaver club went in and held a most quiet meeting to themselves which meeting Peter Phillips (lid not attend as he 'was not feeling well Win the Third party gang came out they seemed to be unwilling to see the light turned on the issues and left the hall in a hurry the Democrats halloing "green goods" as they drove off Redwine and McIver then made Democratic speeches to the large crowd of Democrats that were there and the Third party men who had remained said they were not sure they would vote the ticket A Weaver crowd went to a Democratic speaking at Davis mine last week and though offered a fair division of time refused to accept it and (lid all in their power to interrupt the speakers The conduct of this party on these two occasions has weakened their strength among the people who went to hear the truth of the issues made known and fairly and honestly discussed The Wormwood and Gall or mitts

taken with cramps Charlie Malloy the boss animal man sent for a gallon of whiskey and according to thu instruc tious of Dr Alexander the veterinary surgeon of the show told Ryan the elephant keeper to give Babe a tablespoon ful of peppermint in a pint of the whiskey every half hour Ryan did as told but carelessly left the jug containing nearly a gallon of the liquor on the ground within reach of the animal while be went elsewhere On his return a few minutes later he was horrified to find the cork of the jug gone and the jug empty During his absence the elephant had evidently pull ed the cork out and drank the whiskey Such is the story and the conjecture Ryan fearing that he wtuld be diacharged for his carelessness did not report the matter at once but took the jug and hurried away to the nearest saloon to have it refilled hoping in this way to cover up his mistake In the meantime the whiskey was getting in its work and Babe began to develop some of the symptoms of an elephantine drunk his loud trumpeting attracted the attention of the other animal keepers who however were unable to understand the cause of the elephant's queer antics The huge brute rocked front side to side swung his trunk and rolled his little eyes as If in a very paroxysm of delight at the same time giving vent to a series of noises such as the oldest elephant keepers had never heard before The unusual actions of the elephant had by this time caused a crowd 1)t thirty or forty employes to gather around it James Dillon took an elephant hook and by prodding tried to subdue the animal His foolhardiness however nearly cost him his life for the elephant became terribly enraged Quicker than a flash he had his trunk wound about Dillon and raising him above his head held him there for fully a minute The bystanders were horrorstricken expecting every moment to see Dillon dashed to the ground and trampled upon Waving him in the air as a child would wave a penny flag the powerful animal threw him fully twenty feet through the air against the side of the tent had Dillon been thrown a foot further to the right he would have struck against a pole and undoubtedly been Instantly killed but as it was the yielding canvas greatly lessened the force of the shock and thus saved his life After hurling Dillon through the air the elephant gave one mighty wrench broke his chains and began a staggering rampage through the menagerie The other elephants were thrown into a panic and it required all the skill and presence of mind of their attendants to keep them under control The cage animals also became frantic and the lions and tigers made terrific attempts to break their cages had the audience in the main tent known what was going on a panic would have ensued Babe reeled over to the large tank of the hippopotamus and was pounding against the side of it with his trunk In the meantime several hundred feet of rope had been secured and tying a slipknot in one end of itJohn Snellerthe boss canvas man slipped the under one of Babe's bind feet and in another instant had slipped it upon her leg By a number of quick and skillful movements the big beast was entanglad within many coils of the rope and thus secured to strong stakes Up to this time every one had supposed that the elephant had been seized with a sudden vicious inclination but at this juncture Ryan who had refilled the jug quietly slid under the canvas and deposited it on the ground When he heard what had happened during his absence he be-ame greatly agitated and confessed hi carelessness The elephant was kept bound for about

at theApril convention assailed Ilarris aud denounced him for saying the negroes smelled like guano Henderson said be did this as the representative of the 113- 000 negroes in North Carolina Harris who has no manner of love for the negro coolly told Henderson he was a "damned liar" That was to him the next best thing to cursing Eaves himself which to be sure Mr Harris is quite ready to do This morning the streets were astir with Radicals white and black Inside of the Yarboro were most of the 50 Republicans registered there Outside were a few white men and many negroes very nearly three-fifths of the delegates being of the latter race One fact WaF plauly observable and that was that the negroes stood separate and did not palaver much with their white associates A negro said to me: "I see through this business here to-day and through a good deal of previous work of the white Republicans They are trying to sell out the negroes and get rid of them They want the negro vote split They want to have a white Republican party thinking they can convert Democrats and get Third party men in line after a while But when the negro vote divides the Republicans in North Carolina are gone past redemption Plenty of us will vote the Democratic State and county ticket I will vote it in this county Our people will vote it in Durham we will help elect it there by an overwhelming majority" Moving about in the hotel was Furches of Iredell carefully dressed and suave He was the man talked about for Governor since midnight News then came that James Boyd was too busy to be a

campaign all we want to know is what the Democrats want and then we will do exactly the opposite thing" Mr Dockery is evidently a sort of a philosopher He had a lot of planks in the platform which he had prepared in hopes they would get in Their language was bitter enough to suit At Metropolitan Hall at 12:15 Chairman Eaves called the convention to order There were a aood many empty seats in the portion of the hall assigned to the 210 delegates Chairman Eaves had Secretary Walser rem' the call for the convention and said he had the utmost confide nee in the Republican party A one-armed negro

could and predicted success The outlook he predicted was favorable for Harrison and Reid James Ii Young and James O'Hara were made semitaries The roll of counties was called Some were missing Then there was a little discussion and then the temporary chairman showed that the programme was cut and dried In fact he stated as much openly and very coolly 0J Spears and a negro delegate who presumed

English military looking gentleman who is now on a visit to St'jiouis He has recently obtained some notoriety from his connection with the Gladys-Evelyn case lie was right in the midst of all the frenzied excitement Of the Indian cholera scourge of 1877 an1 maddening suffering of the epidemic and refers to them with a shudder Dm said recently to a Globe-Democrat repqrter: "Perhaps the strangest and most inexplicable peculiarity of the ravages of Asiatic cholera is its marked capnciousness I was in the city of Peshawar when it was raging there and I saw an entire side of a street literally devastated whik the other side enjoyed the most perfea immunity I have also known it to enter a barracks and claim for its victims the occupants tif the entire row of cots while soldiers sleeping not ten feet away would be entirely unaffected During my stay in Peshawar I witnessed as many es 1500 deaths a day from the scourge Of course there was neither the time nor labor to give each of these victims a separate burial So we did the next best thing "Close to the city the blazing sun had burned and parched the earth until there was made in the ground a great crack 300 feet long by 50 feet deep Into this huge crevice we poured a torrent of slack Hine that came to within twenty feet of the top Into this seething caldron we tossed the thousands of cholera victims and on top of each day's consignment of victims we poured more slack lime The lime you see greedily scraped the bones of all flesh and devoured it and the open grave emitted not a particle of sickening stench from the decaying human flesh I saw the same thing done rt the cities of Scinde tied Delhi and In all I must have seen 50000 natives who died from cholera buried in the manner described The only difference
