He was an animal of fine appearance, and very well trained, and well known throughout the country. He was at the building of the old Zoological Institute in the Bowery during the winters of '36 and '37, whence he went to the West Indies. While there, he went into a pond for a bath one day, and, refusing to leave it, several balls were fired into him by way of persuasion, from the effects of which he died. Mad'lle D'jek, the heroine of Charles Reade's "lack-of-all-Trades," was here about 1834, and played at both the Park and Bowery Theatres, after which she went to Philadelphia.

"lack-of-all-Trades," was here about 1834, and played at both the Park and Bowery Theatres, after which she went to Philadelphia. She was in charge of an East Indian native keeper. While in this city, she got loose one night and went through the Bowery and Chatham streets, pumping water from the pumps which then stood in those localities, and wrenching on the handles after she had satisfied her thirst. She also made sad havoc with the awning posts, and raised the mischief generally. In Philadelphia, her performances created quite an excitement. A warm competition sprung up between the management of the Chestnut and the Arch-Street Theatres as to which should have her services, both houses claiming that she was under engagement; and a caricature was issued representing the rival managers struggling for her possession, one having her by the trunk and the other by the tail, both pulling away for dear life.

Flowers form his favorite salad. A nice orchard of young fruit trees is a great temptation to an elephant.--They are all fond of slipping their fastenings, when it is practicable, and starting off on a foraging expedition — a trait which has led to some very funny occurrences. Queen Anne got loose once in Missouri, and, making her way into the woods, defiled all efforts to capture her for several weeks. She was finally run down by a party on horse-back, organized for the purpose. When retaken, she had become quite wild and unmanageable, but was soon civilized by the usual process.

If he is loose, it is necessary to "hobble" and throw him as a preliminary proceeding, a task which it may take twenty men hours to accomplish.
