BIOQEAPHX , OF A NOTOKIOriS ELE- PH AWT, Among the moat attractive features of Vkn Amburg & Co’s Menagerie is a celebrated ele phant, Hannibal,' the' largest animal ever ex hibited in this country pr in Eqrope, and as the old fellow has so frequently furnisbednews paper itemizers with material for spicy para graphs that his name has beconte familiar to almost every one, a brief sketch of his history may be found of interest. Hannibal was brought to this country in 1824, from lndies, and .was purchased • by a butebor York, who’exhibited him fur & time in a sßrHe4n_that city. He shortly after ieJl4nto_the hacdaof.his present otyner§, who have .retained” Him ever since,'' and’ who would not now sell him at any pride. He was supposed to be about twenty-five'years’ old when-imported, which would makef him about sixty-three at the present time. Hannibal first distinguished himself at the Zoological Institute in the Bowery, New York, in 1825, when he saved the life of,his keeper, Mr. Joseph Martin, who now resides at Girard, .in-Erie County, -A l.yge .tiger.and had escaped from tHqir cage and fastehed upoii'a luma which was aHo’weM fo'run wild about, the building. Mr. Martin, hearing .the finite, entered the apartment, without suspecting’ the extent of the danger, whet) the tiger immedi ately crouched to. spring upon him; Martin was entirely unarmed, and all resistance to the attack'of the infuriated beast wouldj have been useless. At this juncture Hannibal rushed -forward, seized his keeper, and raising him out of danger,"held him in safety until assist ance prrived and the animals were secured. tho admirable disposition, exhibited by Han nibal in tharincideat-juat,narrated gained him great credit' with the ‘public as a humane and well dispospi elephant, of good feelings and generous impulses; but .hi? subsequent con duct, we are'sorry to'say, has’ entirely destroyed that favorable impression, and be ijs now Te garded, and hot without'reason,las, a morose and incorrigible old "rascal, who coin only be kept within the bounds of decent behavior by the constant use of chains andfrequent appli cation of condign punishment. Ilia breaches of peace have been so numerous that it would be impossible to detail them wit bin the limits of a newspaper article, but we briefly allude to a few of bis most-violent outbreaks. ,In 1847 the city was the scene of one of his 'tfidsf Vioteuf jbpcsts ‘The-mdtligerie was wintering In 'the ware-house of Leech & Co., on the banks' of the eanal, where the Cleayeland,and Pittsburgh freight depot now stands. - ' 1 ; ! ■ •‘Queen Ann,” an elephantic maid, for whom Hannibal had formed a tender attachment, was removed from his companionship, and be im mediately fell into a fearful state of sulkiness and rage. I'ur twelve days he refused all food, arid du ring; ihaftima .lost; no less than ihj-ctthousand Pounds In weight, as was definitely ascertained at tbe firoa by the Scales. lie endeavored to drown his sorrows “ in the flowing bowl,” re fusing to drink unless the. water wnsisftfly in fused with whiskey, but this indulgence, by which it'was sought to hutnor him, drily, ten dered bitri tnore franUc in ibe end. His-feeder, and a favorite dog, with whom he had been oh best of terms, became the special objects Of his animosity. At the first symptoms of in su.bord>nati()n ho had been loaded with chains, and so firmly secured that it was thought im possible for him to‘break loose. Day after day pass'll ?i4Sy v#ilftodtanydlmiriutioh?c>f ill-tem- , pet upon the port-of the- large beast, until .at last bis nninternnliting “ surgings”. resulted , in fearing away his fastenings, and the infuria ted elephant,was at,large in the building. The .-lions,- tigers, leopards and other animals com- ■- menced dashing against the sides of the cages, while the air resounded,^ with their cries of .frightthe people by, thousands gathered round, -the warehouse, armed, with rifles and every de-; scriptiori of-fire- arms. - Hannibal foamed 'through ’the building, tearing doWh tiffibersJ raising.his enormous boll? .upon his hind, legs and beating theroof.with hit trunk,and.tbrpat-j ening every moment tarbakua complete wreck, of the whole structure. ....

Bmasli ittg ;the vehicle all toi pieces, and then carried the mangled tetAaihs-'of the horse ft distance of fifty feet, ft) a ; pond,jintp .which be threw, the lifeless,body, ? lla next encountered. another horse and wagon, and made: kindling-wood of the latter, thehorse eyes ping by -flight. Com ing to - a third wagan.he smashed np the whole establishment, threw Abe horse-thirty feet (nto an adjomingfield, end then tearing down* the fence brought fbe body of the horseback and laid it down in the ro'Sd. Overtaking still another horse .and wagon be demolished the vehicle the horse escaping with the forewheels, he patened him for eight miles, without being able to overtake the frigbt eued-sleei. In the ralco he traveled, a' portion of the distance at the ,‘r&te''of'a mile in three 'minutes. Fortunately the occupants of these vehicles sustained no very .serious injuries, and the proprietors of the menagerie effected a sat isfactory settlement for'the damages with the parties interested. After killing another httrao and doing mischief of |a Jess serious character, be laid ‘down exhausted in the bushes, where be was soon 'after fount! and properly secured. A few years since, while the menagerie wad at Williamsburg, N. Y., Hannibal suddenly broke out in a furious fit, during the absence from the tent of his keeper, and after demol ishing a wagon' loaded with sawdust, 1 turned his ’attention to the cagfes bf animals, whidi he upset right and left, fortunately, however! with out setting lose any of the dangerous inhabi tants, With the exception of a hyena ob two, which wefe soon captured,, He then sailed forth into the street dragging his chain after him and trumpeting defiance. The attaches of the menagerie followedlrim and drbve him into a stonb yard, whore he'Whs kept until the long pikes and hook’s of the!Young America Hook and Ladder Company were brought Upon, the ground, when he was stfrrounded and kept at bay until ropes were thrown around! his legs and wour.fi so he could! not move. He was then thrown, after which he was speared and stabbed with pitchforkd until completely re duced to submission, as ih e signified by “bog ging” piteously, when he was led back to his ojd quarters as docile osia lamb. His last fit, of insubordination occurred in Philadelphia,ln February, 1861,-and continued for three weeks. His owners. kn,ow; him* so well now, that tbew can jdeteot'the approach of • one of those frenzies, and guard against its un pWasant consequences. !So, on this-occasion, he was so securely chainied upon showing the symptoms of ill-temper,{hat he was'unable to do any mischief, except tearing down an , iron ■ column which stood within his reach,,gnd throwing it with great violence across the huild ing. Since thonlie has conducted himself as a peaceable, respectable elephant should. Still they watch him with the utmost vigilance, Sad bis keeper is all ready forhiro in case he should manifest any disposition to return to his old, disreputable tricks. - In 1859, while traveling in Mississippi,. Han nibal was ordered to swim the Black Warrior River, which was then greatly swollen by a freshet. Instead, however, of crossing as di rected, he started on a voyage of discovery ! down stream, emerging suddenly on a planta tion .some twelve miles below where be entered, lie came ashore on the edge of a cotton field, where a large number of darkies were at work,, and the effect produced among them by the un expected and terrific apparition may be imag ined but cannot be described. Thenewti spread, with nil the exaggerations' which would natu- j tally be given to such an event, with incredible rapidjty, add resulted ip a general stampede of the entire colored population of the country. It is even said by some that a good many of the darkies turned white yyith fright, and as a , proof of this, numbers are pointed out in 1 that region who ba'v.e not yet - fully regained their natural hue. It would hardly be fair, however to hold Hannibal responsible Tor all thedonbt fnl shades of'complexion to be found'in that vicinity! ; , In 1850, a keeper who hail taken care of Han nibal for many years', fell from, hia horse in a fit-near'Zanesville, f)hio'.'(The'huge beast in stead of deserting bina,-stood watching Over his senseless form nfttil the train Of cages came up, and then suffering hirpself to be chained iind" led away "by Mr. Tliomas, his present keeper, without making th resistance, although had the’other keeper been well, such an attempt at authority pn "the part of Mr. Thomas would have been rtesented with fury, Hannibal is temperate ,and regia iar ia bis j habits, eating about four hundred pounds of hay am# a Couple of bushels of oats daily; with sucb allowatiee of apples, gingerbread &c., aa the generosity of " visitors may bestow upon 1 him, and an acre (more of less) of clover, by way of salad; when He ‘can get it.- Hisobly beverago is water, of which be Consumes- a couple of barrels every day.

But the strangest part of the occurrence was that Min nie returned his love earnestly, truly and frank ly, and promised to wed him at a favorable mo ment. , Things went on merrily for a timejbut old Danfurth discovered certain glances arid atten tion between them which excited his early su’S ' , t, v .}- t * pinions. Very soon afterwards Joe' learned the old man’s mind, indirectly, with regard to the dis posal of Minnie's’ hand, and be quickly saw that his case was a hopeless one,, unless ho re sorted to stratagem, and so be put his wits to work at once. ■ By agreement, an apparently settled 1 cold ness and distance was observed by the lovers towards each other, and which led him to be lieve fits.suspicions had been groundless. Then by agreement also between them, Joe .absented himself from the house'at evening, 'and night after night as his wort was done,’did •he disappear to return home at a late bed time. Joe friinkly confessed that ha was in lute withta man’s-daughter, who resides leas than five miles distant, but after a faithful attach ment between them for several mouths, the old man had utterly refused to entertain his appli cation for the young girl’s, hand. This was capital, just what the man desired. This satisfied him that, he had made a mistake ip regard to his own child ; and he would have Joe got married and stop all trouble and suspi-. cion at once. S« he said: .' : . ‘ ‘‘Veil, Joe, is she .‘a hucksom lass f” “Yes, yea,” said Joe, “I’m, not much of a judge myself.” “And you like her?” “Yes.” ' ‘‘Then marry her." ~;'Elop? ? ” “Yes, certainly; off with you at once. If the gal will join, all right. You shall have the little cottage at the foot of the lane ; I will fix it up for you. Your wages shall be raised, and the old man may like it or not!” -But “Xo huts, Joe, hilt do as I bid you. Go about it at once, and— ” “Y r ou will stand by me?” “Yes, to the very last. I know you, Joe ; you are a good workman, and will make a good son or husband.” "The old fellow would be so mad, though.'’ "Who cares ? Go quietly but quickly.” "To morrow night, then?” "Yes.'" “I will hire Culver’s horse.” » "I say no. Take my horse, Jbe very best one, young Morgan.

I had occasion to pass through the Capitol grounds a few evenings ago'. ijt wria'one of the most beautiful days that^nmmi?T : had given its ■—ii nd-tlte sun had taken li ts torrid rays to Bdr ■lTetror’Cathay, Irarirrg his-swjeefest smile to ting the eveningqlo.uds, The Marine Bund, jn thgir , gaudy apparel were- |ei»p leisurely through an operatic march and ii multitude of people were sauntering among jjthe trees and aroundithe * garden-beds’ of roses—men and women.with their little ones ; |ruddy damsels fair tolookjupon, and bright y(|ung men who seemed to live in their faeination ; tlie inevita ble oScer in.gold and blue, nng pale soldiers who had strolled 1 from the hospital to bear the" sweet sounds and catch the evening air. I parsed up the broad and gently gseending path, andi the-steps that led to the Congress Halls.— The rousio- ceased, and the strains of Men delsgonp diet} away among the Reaves. IVhile regretting the silence, and listening 1 to catch another eeho of the strain, the habd commenced again to play. The air was national and patri otic—something that stirred the |loud with rap ture as it told of our country’s gljry and grand eur—the triumph of cur artnies,|and the war’s dessolatipp. i stopped and listened to the soul- ■ inspiring melody. I was standing at the foot of the Capitol, and it looked majestic, even j with its uncouth dome and unfinished marble j woik. A weather-beaten flag wpjs idly coiling*j around the flag-staff; Tha city, with its occa sional glimpses of magnificence;! was at my feet, pud,beyond the intervening jcity were the J bills of Virgidia—Arlington, peeping from the ,j trees ; Tort Richardson, brown and lofty ; Fort j Corcoran, massive and irregular; 'and other! forts, indistinct and monotonous. It was a ! scene such ns I ’have seldom witnessed, and 1 j dwelfupon it now partly because jit recalls the pleasure which I felt at the moment, mul partly because it brought with it many (thoughts and suggestions that are always familitlr and always new. . j’ I. thought of the other days .when peace reigned over the land, and Hie bills over tbo Potomac bad no memory beyond a .May-day pie-nio or an evening drive; hf the other men who had left Washington, never to return, after leading ua into a war that they m ght rule or ruin. How often their haughty menaces had been heqrd in those very halls ; Here their treason came into being : it bmld ‘d, bloomed, and burst into fault! The apathy f Northern men was'eonstraacted into slavery ; theirsilrnce becamci submission. ’ Cnvermner f, to these Northern men, Was the development of the na tion’s resources and the establ.«hincnt of the nation’s happiness. True, to the teachings of their fathers—to the inspiration Inf Plymolh Koek and the example of Wi)liam -Penn—they labored for civil liberty, national pence, Chris tianity, commerce,-and social comjfort. They Built- Unil Ronds, and canals, and tjrc.ikwaters, and lines of telegraphic communication, and "o'cean steamships, and dry docks and suspen sion bridges.

She talked with him kindly, hot without making the slightest impression upon his feeiinga, and to ail bad said be manifested the greatest indifference, until she asked him if no'oqe ever kissed him.
