AN INFURIATED ELF
PHANT.
How ho KilhTlliiif a Dozen
I eople aud Terrified a Com
munity.
Ghuzipore April B—The.e was a
dreadful scone here on Tuesday af-.er
uoou, when a very large mud ele
phant ran through the station and
killed half a dozen persons. The-lo
pliant bo'enged to the Rejah of Vizi
I ftbiigrata and waa brought here from
I Benares hy a wealthy Mahomo’an
j 00 tlle occasion of the marriage of a
lelafiva of his. The animal was, ns
the mahout reports, kept in tire sun,
overworked aud not properly ratioued
j dur ‘ n K its journey. The mahout
states ihut lie asked for some money
for mediciuo from his master, who
I ordered payment of four annas or so
which lie declined to receive.
There were a couple of men od the
houdah aud the mahout was on the
shoulders of the elephant when it
inn away. The ritlets got free of
the unimul by catching hold of tile
branches of trees by which it passed.
The mahout remained for some time
on its back and tried his best to ke ip
it in check, but when be saw it waa
impossible for him to control the ani
mal he jumped from its hack. The
bruite killed six persons and injured
two. Oue of the deceased climbed up
a bamboo ties in tru endeavor to -es
cape, but the animal uprooted the
tree, the man fel cc the ground, and
the elephant killed him on the spot.
At eight o’clock in the el’ouing the
el. pliant turned towards the Govern
ment Treasury and the Reserve Pol
ice lines. Some of the sepoys, leaving
their charpoys, climbed up tho mango
trees and some bolted towards the
English quarters. Continuing its
mad career, the elephant entered the
compound of Mrs. Cooke’s bungalow,
t ow occupied by Mr. Nicholson, sub-
Doputy Opium Ageut who fired and
hit the animal ou the head. This
made it more furious, aud it endeav
ored to enter the room occupied by
Mr. Nicholson and bis brother. See
ing the elephant in the veiranda he
fired again, hitting it on the trunk,
and blood poured profusely from the
wound. Ike animal was at large
until next morning, when it was with
difficulty secured with chain* by the
mahout and several others. The ele
phant v.as kept here till Saturday*,
the 7th irist , and then taken to Ben
ares under guard. Tf.o Mahometan
has been celled upon by tho Magis
trate to explain why he did not take
proper stops when lie was informed
of the symptoms of madness in tiro
elephant. The case is pending in
the criminal courts.
Fish by the Square Mile.
Somo faint idea of the vast and
inexhaustible number ef fish on our
shores may perhaps be obtained by a
consideration ot the fact that yester
day no fewer than six thou-and bar
rels of porgies wore caught off New
port. If the son, through the Vine
yard and Long Island sounds, is any
wltero near as rich in porgies, moss
bunkers, and other varieties of the
most abundant kinds of fish, what an
unimaginably teeming world of life
thorn must he beneath tlio waves !
And it is, even moro than the striv
ing, pushing world of human life, a
scene of rapacity and destruction—
the stronger pteying upon the weaker
and “the sutvivat of the fittest ”
Enormous as this singlo day’s catch
of porgies seems, it is surpassed by
some of the big hauls of bony fish or
moss-bunkers —the “white fish” of
the evil smelling fish oil mills on the
shore. These creatures actually swarm
in millions and are caught and haul
ed in by the cargo. Schools of*vorac
ious blue fish pursue and drive them
flipping and flashing to the surface
where they are promptly pounced
upon by the sailing fish-hawks and
sea-gulls that wait for them out of
water. In the sow and on the land
the world seems to boa scone ofslmrk
and tig r, in one or nttother fotm ol .

, How one Mother Trained Her
Little Girl.
‘‘Maybe lam foolish Mrs.—, but
■ever since my little one was given
me I have loved to kiss the latln
hands as well as the baby lips. I
used to lay the solt little pink palms
upon my mouth and kiss tl.ein till
my baby laugaed.
“As she grew oider I still kept up
the custom, and when night came
and undressing her I failed to kis
the little bauds, Amy knew that it
was because they wore not quite clean
front naughtiness. If they had been
lifted in angor during the day, if they
had btruck at nursie cr a little play
mate, mamma could not liigs them
because they were not clean. And
to miss the kiss was very bard for
my ba-by, I assuie you. It waa the
saute with the little lips. If a naugh
ty word had escaped them—l moun
wilfully naugiity words-or if my
little girl had not spoken quite the
truth during the day, 1 could not kiss
the lips, although I always kissed her
on cheeks and forcbetd, never allow
iog her to go unbiased *o bed. But
she cared mere for kisees on hands
and lips than tor anything el&o in
the world, 1 believe ; my loving little
Amy? And gradually the naughty
ways were done away with, aud each
right my baby would say: ‘Tean
hannic-8 to-night, mamma? Teal
bunnies for ’oc to tiss!’
“And even now —though she is
five years old I keep up . custom
which she has known from her birth,
because I think it helps tier tiy to b
good. You will laugh, maybe, Mrs.
—, but Ido want my little girl to
grow up pure and sweet; und if the
love of mamma’s kisses can keep, by
God’s help, the little hands, lip? and
heart cloau, I think I shall continue
the cu.,tom until Amy is old enough
to understand fully things too hard
for her as yet.”
My own eyes wore tearful when
Mrs. Ilortun’a sweet voice ceased,
and I envied little Amy her beauti
ful young mother's cu,mpaiiioii-<mi(i.
Did I think it a foolish idea? Ah,
no indeed! But the truest, sweetest
custom in the world keeping hoi
small hands clean for mantra’s good
night kis; and that is why Saliie
■Jones was net “paid in her own coin,
as the saying is- That is why tho
sweet lips made no angry reply.
Mamma’s kis3 was too preo ous a
thing to be given up for the gratifica
tion of one mouion of evil speaking.
Dear little Amy! —Wide Awake.
How to Fjsii for Mkn.— At tho

Talmage told thefollowingstoiy. “An
old fLhoinian once told me the rea
son so few sinuers were convi rted

go to catch fish,’ remarked the disci
ple of Walton, I use a delicate pole,
nu almost invisible line, a hook of
the most artistic workmanship, and
at the end of all a tempting bait,
which I softly drop into the stream;
but when you preachers stsrt out
you take for a pole a weaver’s beam,
to which you fasten a cart rc pe,
with a pot hook attached and a snap
ping turtle for bait. This you throw
into the water with a splash and ex
claim, ‘Bite or be damned!”
Lively Mail Matter. -A number

How a Missouri Murder was Re
vealed.
Six years ago Julie Le Blanc mys
teriously disappeared one July night
from her homo in Jefferson county,
Mo., and her white bare skeleton was
discovered a few days ago by a negro
shooting snipe along tho Mississippi
river, iu a bca* ho overhauled as it
lloated down the stream. When she
disappeared, Julio was a blooming
maiden of eighteen, aud that July
night she had gone to attend a neigh

tinued absence exciw-d tho alarm of
her parents, who found that she had
not been at tho house whore the

the woods scaicimig parties iourrl her '

where Mr. Le Blanc’s boat bed Loon j
moored, but was now missing. Tho
father suspected Philip Konealy, one
of the young woman’s admirers, as
responsible for her disappearance, but
Mis Le B ane persuaded him not to
arrest the youug man, who disnp
peared in a few days 6njing that
he was going to New Orieans to ac
cept a permanent situation there, as
his great love for Julio would not per
mit him to lemuiu in the neighbor
hood now that she was missing. Two
detectives were put upon tho case,
who could find no trace of tho daugh
ter nor of Kenesiy. When the negro
overhauled the boat after this lapse
of years it was nearly ready to sink
with its leeord of almost lotgott”n
crime. The mysterious skeleton had
biacele’s upon its wrists which were
removed before its burial. Mr. Le
Biaric heard of this discovery, and
visiting the spot, recognized the brace
iets as ilioso of his daugt.-r; hut when
he went to recover her skeleton, it was
found that the gieidy Mississippi had

sickening one. Dr. Johnson pronoun

Yesterday a reporter of the Consti

ple will highly appreciate, for there’s

bly that tire southern livers will soon
receive more attention from congress

How to set Cabbage Plants.
As soon as your plants are largo
enough take up a dozen or so ut a
time, and take to tire place you wish
to se'. Have a dish of water with
you — I prefer raiu water —make a
hole and put in your plant, fill in the
dirt and press it firmly, around the
mots until the hole is nearly full. -
Then turn in half a gill or so of wa
ter, and h ul fresh dirt upon that*
but don’t press it. This will prevent
the grouud from baking, and the
plaut is almost sure to grow.
