" About igliteoii months ago the zoological arden loaned to the exposition n mmg alligator two feet long to adorn lie cascade in Horticultural Imll and ivp an appearance of wildness to the rtillcial scene by the prc&enco of ani- ml lUo of n repulsive kind , The nl- igntor behaved very _ well for some imo , and satiated his appetite \sith 's , ( lies , and mosquitoes. Hut one light he disappeared , and ho was loimu'd for lou or stolen , although ho commissioners thought that there ns no man in Cincinnati mean enough o carry away an alligator. In a few- nontlm the absence of the loathsome reaturo was forgotten , and it was bo- ipved that ho wandered oil'nnd lied. lied.On On Friday Mr Tom Wise Hunt for ilr. 1 * . J. llogan to connect the street as with the Musio hall building. It rill bu remembered that the Elm licet fiout of Ilortioulturii null 13 bout three foot above the lovul of mo. mrt used for the cascade and exhibit if plants. Into this raised portion ilr. Jlogan went boldly with a wrench , nd a lantern , ' but he had scarcely lisappearod from view when a most inearthly yell was heard , and the > oor plumber , without lantern , hat , > r tools , rushed out to whore tlio aa- onishud Wise and Ins assistants stood logan't ) hair stood up like bristles on .he fretful porcupine , and his eyes rolled with such an expression of ter ror that the other men shrank from lim. lie could hardly ejaculate : 'Do J - a , I'll ' not go in there agin , There's the most infornal-lookin - , cra- ur I ever saw. It opened its big aws and wagged its baiatly tail at no , and wanted to ait mo up. Be leavens , when it moved I moved , too. riio gas may go to tlio devil. " Mr. VYiso , thinking the man fright ened without cause , undertook to ox- ) loru the cacrn and beard the mon ster iu his den , but ho was only ab sent a few seconds , and made quicker imo in reaching daylight than ilogan. lo stjiid long enough , however , to hid out that the reptile was an allga- or , and at a rapid glance seemed to noasuro four toot in length. Hero .hen , wiis an alligator which was sup posed to bo lost , and Ilogan had found liim. It had probably crawled into his retreat and had hibernated in the noist , marshy ground. The loud which Mr. Alligator had indulged in probably consisted of rats and binall inigs and insects. At any rate , ho is still alive and lias increased his length luring his mysterious absent about , wo ieot. But there seems to bo a disposition to let him severely alone , as the gas has not yet boon connected. Wise and Hogan declare they are sat isfied to let him.stay. Tlio ingenuity of man will probably capture him at i > last , and with the help of one hundred men , with clubs nnd a derrick , it is probable the festive alligator will bo soon a gay corpse. Mr. Wise will take up the lloor to-day , and with ropes will remove his alligatorship. The reptile should bo taken back to the house of his younger days at' the Zoological garden , and preserved for having a history moro romantic than any of his species. Bnokun'H Armoa Salvo.
