The superintendent of the Yellowstone , Park has informed the director of the Zoological Park of the capture in the park in a trap of a huge cinnamon bear. The animal will be shipped to Washington for the zoo. It is 0 savage that the men in the park were afraid to release it from the trap and it will be shipped here in the trap. Capt. Blackburn, the head keeper of the z00, has the two elephants, Dunk and Golddust, take a “constitutional” every afternoon, leaving & point on the creek near the Quarry road. The elephants go into the water and have a great time floundering about and taking shower baths. ‘They fill their trunks with water and then shower themselves ull over. The elephants seem to enjoy it. It would be quite impracticable, Capt. Blackburn says, to keep elephants ina large enclosure unless there ‘was a stone wall about it. If allowed to run in 4 field they would become so intractable that it would be dangerous for an attendant to ap- prowch them. ae PAVING CONTRACTS AWARDED.

Next toa presidential boom distinguished statesmen havo a yearning to have babies named after them, and many of the ers of Baby Duval sent gifts of some sort to the proud father. Very s90n, too soon for vanity in some cases, which had just commenced to swell, comparison of notes between the distinguished statesmen revealed the sad fact that the offspring of the Duvals had been named after a large and choice collec- tion of public men. ‘The distinguished states- men were too distinguished to prosecute the — and simply repented secretly and quietly, Lately the same Mr. Duval, it is alleged, has been Unable to restrain his Poe disposi- tion, and, unfortunately for him, bas tackled people who were not distinguished statesmen. y.

From the Christian Union. ‘A Boston paper, commenting on women’s clothes, says that the women of today need pockets infinitely more than the ballot. Cer- tainly pockets would add to the comfort and hysical freedom of women of the present day, But to be an advantage they must be placed ta 8 position where the wearer can reach them without growing red in the face with the effort. ‘The other day a lady walked down Broadway dressed in a tailor-made cloth gown.

Augustus Harris’ choice of “Kenilworth” as the subject of » new opera has caused regrets to be expressed that he has uot chosen an English composer to do the work, but previous experi- mente of that sort, except with “Ivanhoe,” are not encouraging.

The brothers De Reszke (Jean and Edouard), who have been winning musical laurels at the Royal Italian Opera (Covent Garden) during the recent season, have signed a contract for a tour of the United States during the coming autumn. Before leaving Europe, however, the brothers will sing at the Meyer- beer centennial performance in Paris, which been arra: in order to celebrate the birth (on September 5, 1794,) of the great com- oser. For this occasion Madame Viardot- arcia has volunteered her services, and she will thus emerge from nearly thirty years of retirement and will sing in the cathedral scene of “Le Prophete.” Mme. Viardot, old musicians will remember, Whs a sister of Manuel Garcia, the celebrated French musician, whose two sisters, under the names of Mme. Malibran and Mme. Viardot, also became well known to fame. Mme. Viardot married Louis Viardot, the French suthor. She was born in 1821, and counted Meyserberg and Liszt among her instructors in music. At her prime Mme. Viardot possessed one of the finest ™mezzo-soprano voices ever beard. She is the author of a number of musical works, includ- ing an opera in two acts, presented in'1369 be- fore the grand duchess of Saxe-Weimar. Faure, the celebrated singer, born in_1820, will also return to the “Huguenots.” He re- tired from the stage in 187 A NOBLE PIANIST'S RECITAL.

DRAMATIC NOTES. The title of Euchanan’s “Heredity” has been changed to that of the “Gifted Lady.” It proved too long for aserious satire or for bur- lesque.

HOUSEKEEPERS ARE WARNED against the impositions of a company of females, who, under the lead of a male agent, are now infesting the kitchens of this city, performing a trick which they pretend is a test of baking powders. It having been intimated that these persons are the paid agents of the Royal Baking Powder Company, this is to advise all concerned that this Company has no relation whatever to them, that their so-called test is a sham, and that the fem are instructed and employed to perform these tricks and make false statements in all kitchens to which they can gain access, by concerns who are trying to palm off upon house’ inferior brand of baking powder through the operation of fallacious and deceptive methods. The Royal Baking Powder Company in no case employs such agents, and whenever the name of this Company is used to gain entrance to houses, the applicant, no matter how respec- table in appearance, should be regarded and ales cepers an Roya Baxinc Powper Co. .
