Wholesaled and retailed by CARLISLE & WARD, Griffin, Georgia. A ProccMiAn of Elephants. Marie A. Millie tells a number of “Stories of Elephants” in St. Nicholas. The author says: The prime minister of Nepal and tbe court were at that time in. holy Hardwar, in order to batbe in the sacred Ganges, and perform their pilgrimage to the “Hur Ki Pyree," or “Steps to Heaven,” and for their benefit the elephants were made to go in procession through the sacred town. Can any child picture a procession of 160 tame elephants in single file, headed by Bljli, and with Naraln bringing up the rear? It was truly a grand sight. They covered a mile and a quarter of road and were as orderly as soldiers in a marching regiment. Through the town they marched, each beast in its place, in no way disconcerted by the populace or by the screaming children, who joined in singing their nursenr rhymes at each turn of tbe road. They think that Guneshln, the god of wisdom, has his existence in an ele-\ pbant’s body] and so they venerate the; colossal beast\ Immensely. Their little voices, pitched nt tbe highest, sang out tbe couplet: Elephant, O elephant, give us a hair of your tail, , Or, Instead thereof, a sword of gold I It was a quaint, queer sight—the old town with its mosques and minarets; the “sacred stairs of Vishnu,” leading down to the blue water’s edge; the priests on the steps in gay sulphur colored garments, feeding tbe sacred fish, while the sacred monkeys were swarming everywhere, swinging from branch to branch of the trees, feeding on tbe house tops, screaming and playing. Below marched undisturbed the imposing procession of elephants, all bent on obedience, and wending their way regardless of all distractions. The New Earl Lytton. “On the day that the Boxburghe ten antry were celebrating the majority of their yoiyf&duke,” says the London Il lustrated Cxiews, “Sir Victor Alexander George Robert Bulwer-Lytton, third Earl Lytton, came of age. He was born at Simla on Aug. 10, 1876, and succeeded his father in 1891. The family traces its or igin to Sir Robert de Lytton, who was oomptroller of the household of Henry IV, and Knebworth came into their possession so long ago as tbe fifteenth century. The direct line has been broken by a Strode and a Robinson succeeding to Knebworth, and by two women of the house marrying. Just a hundred years ago Elizabeth Lytton married Brigadier General Bulwer. Ono of her sons became Baron Balling and Bulwer; another was the famous novelist. Thus, although the genealogical purist would regard the line of Lytton as having been hopelessly broken, such immediate ancestors as the novelist and his son, the diplomatist and poet (Owen Meredith, who died in 1891), may make the family proud of tbeir pedigree, and lead us, not unnaturally, to expect a good deal from the young earl who has just emerged from minorhood. ” A.B.CLEVELAM Real Estate Agent.
