It was even said that he received letters from farmers far and wide asking how much hay one elephant ate, and if it were more profitable to plow with an elephant than with horses or oxen. His replies were invariably frank, and were of this purport: “If you have a large museum in New York, and a great railway company sends trains full of passengers within eyeshot of the performance, it will pay, and pay well; but if you have no such Institution, then horses or oxen will prove more economical.” No Insult Meant. Shortly after a certain marquis received an important governmental position he was overwhelmed with begging letters, the result of the remarkable statements sent out concerning his unbounded generosity. Among the letters he received was one which became a standing joke among- his friends. It was from a woman who wanted a sewing machine, and her letter commenced thus: “Dear Sir —A year ago you came to our town to make a speech. I went out to hear you, and I have been ill ever since.” The fact was the lady caught cold on the occasion in question, but she certainly did not refer to the matter in very diplomatic language.
