The man drove into the tent, and while unloading his waggon the elephant was observed,to grow restless at the sight of the horse, which had a white blanket on. ‘The mao was advised to take his horse away, but before he could do so the elephant advanced a few steps, and knocked the man down with a blow of his trank. He next seized the horse by means of his trunk and injured him seriously. le then scized the waggon, throwing it up in the air, and breaking it to pieces. His anger was now fully aroused, and proceeding to the cage of the prairie wolf he smashed it with his trunk, and released him. Nextin his way was the cage of a black bear. This was demolished, but the bear was chained up and could not escape. ‘The cage of the zebra being nextin his way, he pushed it through the tent and clear through the wall of a amali shanty at the back of the tent. Thus leaving the tent he got into the street, pursued by his keepers and hundreds of people, none of whom were able to cope with the enraged elephant. He did not molest passers by, but seemed to have a great aversic n to horses, which he would pursue as rapidly as he was able, being hoppled with a chain connecting his tusks with one of his oa.

The absurdity of such a regulation must be ap- parant without’ any formal argument, and we suspect that apy bank that would adopt so misehievous a course of action would not give its customers much trouble—for it would have very few to deal with. The tellers of the bank would have ample time to scrutinize all the checks which would be drawn on such an institution.
