A MosiCAL ASD Sympathetic Elephant.— An American Me- 

 nagerie and circus proprietor announced lately for his bcucHt, a 

 lUiirned elephant to play some pieces on a " magniacent lirins- 

 mead." E^ ery one rushod to hear the tusked i!(r(»o.?o, and a large 

 amount was taken at the door. Before the end a r.ew iiiaim was 

 brought into the middle of the circus and the lop ri-jmivod. 

 After tbe usual obeisances, the elepliant advanced to the piano. 

 Kaislns his foot, ho placed it on the keys. Suddenly he uttered a 

 fearful cry, which sounded like weeping, and occasioned no suuill 

 alarm. Tlie proprietor cume forward and stuck his head in tlic 

 the animal's jaws to learn the reason. Taking his head out ajraiu, 

 he ordered the tusked I'irtHOSo to be led away; then tnriiinir to 

 the audience, said the elephant could not play on that i^iano, as 



in the keys of the instrument be recognized the teeth of his 

 mother. A Broadwood was immediately telcsraphcd lor to 

 London. 



We suspect tliat the alcove, wliioli comes to ii.s from 

 London, ooiitaius tlie onvei-t advertisement ol' a piano 

 nianufactui'cr, but the elephant must nevertlielcss go on 

 record. 



Ak After Scratch.— One day last week I.saw my old 

 cocker "Fannie" while going at full speed go on three 

 legs and try to get burrs off her belly with the other ; too 

 busy to stop for buns when there was a chance to get up 

 a woodcock. Fellows. 



— Some Parisian ladie.s have taken to frog shooting. 

 The arm tliey use is a IiIkIiIv ornate steel cross-bow, from 

 which a dart may be discharged with suflicieiit force to 

 traniflx the most corpulent and tou^h-hided of frogs at 

 a range of twenty feec. Pn-^ means of a silken cord this 

 missile is attached to the breecli of the eross-bcw, a con- 

 trivance enabling the successful markswoman to dis- 

 pense with the services of a retriever for tlie collection 

 of her game. Having shot a frog, slie can haul her wrig- 

 gling victim to her very feet, where the duty of " bag- 

 ging " it devolves up:ai her keeper, from five to six 

 brace constitute a good average bag, and furnish a tuccu- 

 leitt dish oi' slender hind legs, dehcately fried in batter.
