From the Life of the King of Oude.
An Elephant Fight in India.
Murder of the Keeper—An*
Elephant's Remorse
' Of the hundred and fifty ele
phants possessed by the king of
Q.ude, there was one with a broken,
tusk, that had been, victor in 'a hun
dred fights. His name was Malleer';
and he was a great favorite with the
king. Ilfs tusk had been broken
off bit by bit In-several encounters;
the elephants iTtshing against each
other- with such force as sometimes
to snap off a portion or the’ whole
of a tusk. Malleer had lost his, as
I have-said, gradually. Pie was a
formidable black fellow, very ter
rible when in that excited state call
ed must. During the visit of the
commander in-cliief it was deter
mined that , a fitting antagonist
■should be found- for Malleer, and
that he should once more make his
appearance on the stage as a gla,di-
ator._ It was fortunately the prop
er season. Mallear was must; and
another gigantic elephant, also
black, and of course in similar state,

•When in this excited state, two
male elephants have but. to see each
other to commence the cornb'at forth-1

ed. Each has his own keeper, or !
mahout as lie called; seated on his 1
neck—the only person who can
safely approach the animal at such

with hearty good-will; almost with
frantic energy using the iron prod,
employed in driyirig /them freely

cle to make one hold In the breath
with earnest gazing—a -spectacle to
make the'blood come fast and
thumping through the vinos—as the
two knge combatants pushed and
shoved .with all their- might vehe
mently, and as the two mahouts ex
erted all their powers to encourage
them.
It is evident m such a contest, as
generally ft pp'ens with' these wild
animals, that the Stronger combat
ant gains the victory.- . Instances do
occur in which superior agility cau
ses the weaker to bear -off the hon
ors of success; but'such instances
are rare—in the case of two oppos
ing elephants rarer, perhaps, than
width other animals. But what is
the end of his pushing? you ask.
If the stronger succeed in oycr-
of the vanquished, is the probable
result. Tliis sometimes occurs when
great violence is used, and the wea
ker can hardly retreat quick

the elephant. She had the infant
in her arms, and. she ran as -fast as
her burden would- permit. The
commander-in-chief stood up in 1 the
bajeony exclaiming:— •
r ‘-Here will be more ‘•butchery,
your majesty. Can nothing be
done to prevent it?” ^ *
“It is the mahout’s wife., I haye.
no doubt,” replied the king ; what
-can be done?”. *. ‘. *
But .the resident.-had already
given the order for the horsemen
with-theif long spears to advance
and lead off t-he elephantgiven
the order, it is true, but the'cxeeu-
.{ion of those orders was not an af
