It is reported that "Barnnm has made I an offer to Oscar Wilde for the latter to sit on top of Jumbo and ride in the street processions. If, says an American paper, instead of Wilde sitting on the elephant, Jumbo were to sit on Wilde, the result would be more satisfactory to the people, and it wouldn't hurt Jumbo much. | The best description we ever hea^d of ■ a slow man was that he was too slow to get out of his own way.
