Elephants.
Colonel Pollock, in “Sports in

ing particulars about the elephant
which will be new to most readers:
Elephants wheu asleep snore a good
deal and I have often seen them use
a foot for a pillow on which to rest
their head. They are very human
like in many ways. They get a piece
of wood and use it as a toothpick.
They will plug a wound with clay.
They scratch themselves with the
tip of their trunk, and if they cannot
reach the part they take up a small
branch and use that As a rule,
they are frightened at fire; but an
elephant' ot the battery at Assam
used to help to put out fires, and
she would do what I never saw any
other animal of her kind do, and
that wa=. after a fallen buffalo’s
throat had been cut all but the ver
tebra, when told to do so she would
put her foot' on ‘the tieck, twist her
tusk round the horn and hand it np.
Some few of them will hand up
birds after being shot, bnt they don’t
usually like touching dead bodies.
Providence Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Before the counsel in the Sprague
diyortelgot dolt-work to-day there
was a half hour’s consultation ui the
jury rooorn. Governor Sprague
was accompanied by Willie, who has
grown to - be quite a man, and is the
exact likeness of Ilia father.
Mr. Britton announced that Mr.
Sprague’s cpusel were ready to pro
ceed. Mr. Clarke said that he was
instructed on behalf of Governor
Sprague to withdraw the latter's
coss-bil! for adivorce. Judge Potter
at once'entered upon the records the
withdrawal of the petition. When
this had been done Mr. Britton
said:
“In harmony with the suggestions
made by the court, wc so ask to
amend so as lo strike.out and ex
punge from the original petition
filed by Mrs. Sprague all* accusa
tions of criminality contained there-
1D Judge’Hoidly, at the suggestion
of the court,.tooku pen and careful
ly struck out ail 'of the sensational
altd scandalous matter in the bill.
Then the formal proof of the mar
riage, desertion and non-support
was put iu. Mr. Britton submitted
the marriage certificate,-which was
dated at Providence, .November 12,
1863, and signed by the Right Rev.
Tht.s. M. Clarke, D. D., Bishop of
the Diocese of. Rhode Island. To
conform to the requirements of the
law, two witnesses were sworn and
gave evidetfce that* tho Governor
bad deserted and failed to provide
for his wife. There was no cross;
examination of .these witnesses, no
evidence was submitted by the de
fense, and Mr; Brittor rested his
case.
Judge Hoadly informed the court
that the Governor wished to retain
his son, and Mrs. Sprague the three
daughters, and said that the wife
would like to have (he option of re-
suminglier maiden name. Judge
Pot er said that in matters of this
kind he always hesitated, especially
when there were children. Judgp
Hoadly added that perhaps Mrs.
Sprague might not desire to resume
her maiden name. As a matter of
fact, he had not talked with her on
that subject. She did, however, de
sire to reserve the right to apply for
alimony, until Gov. Sprague had
got out of his present financial diffi
culty. To this the court assented,
took the papers in the case, and will
enter a formal decree in a day or
two.
After the Governor, his counsel
andjiia wife’s attorneys had signed
the articles of agreement—the na
ture of which was kept private, but
•which no doubt arrange for tho
removal of the personal effects of
Mrs. Sprague and her children from
Narragansett Pier—the Governor
and his boy set out for Canonchet,
in whose halls the foot-steps of his
wife will never be heard again.

“It’s a lie clear-through,’’ said tie
Terror, striking the table with his
fist, “I’m as good a man as smells

“Perhaps you are better,” said the
editor, meekly.
“My record’ll compare favorably
with yourn,” said the Terror with t
sneer; “perhaps there are a few lit

Burlington, February
Burlington man recently wedded a
young wife. The -lady become en
thused over Will Carleton’s tale of
the elopement of a handsome young
woman with a “handsomer man,”
and determined to try the same
thing herself. She wrote a neat lit
tle note, stating that’ she had left
home with a gentleman whom she
had dearly loved before she had
met her husband, and that he peed
not trouble himself to look for them.
Then she called in her younger
brother and went calling with him,
arranging to return and hide where
she conld witness her liege lord’s
dismay when be came to read of her
flight. She, from her place of con
cealment, saw him enter, saw him
look all around in surprise at her
absence, and finally saw him dis
cover the note. He opened and read
it, while her heart beat high with
excitement in anticipation of the
breaking out she expected to hear.
The poor fellow finished the era el
missive, tore it up and threw the
fragments on. the floor, and then,
without a moment’s warning, drew
a revolver and fired point blank at
his breast, and tell without a sign of

One of Talmage’a Peculiar Ideas
Mr. Talmage said to a reporter of
tho Cleveland Press:
I am inclined to the belief, enter
tained by many, of Christ's second
coming. Mind' you, I have not quite
accepted the theory yet. I have a
map given me by Orth, of the West
ern Union Tolegraph Company,
showing the electric system of the
world. I was surprised to find that
the telegraph goes everywhere al
most. Now, the world will make
rapid.strides during the life of the
present generation, and a man will
be able to step np to an electric in
strument and speak to all nations.
If Christ should come it conld be
telegraphed all overthe world, and
in ten minutes every soul would
know and believe. Then all these
doubts and fears would be dispelled
and whole nations would be con
verted in a day.

This.is increased bya refusal upon

ing exists mainly with tlie weaker
class of our farmers, and particular

for 1881 will not be much more than
617,580 bales, against 846,000 for
1880, showing a falling off of about
230,000 .bales. Extreme drouth was
tho cause of the falling off. The in

FERTILIZERS.
“Is the sale of fertilizers increas
ing in Georgia?”
“Well, the demand is certainly as
great; hot the failure of last year’s
crops will have a tendency to make
manntacturers less anxious to sell.
Up to last year sales were increas
ing steidilv. I think that the de
cline this year will be at least 30 per
cent. The number of inspections of
fertilizers np to date this year is as
great if tot greater than, to the same
period last year; bnt the number of
tons is less. I cannot but think that
the drouth of last year will be ben
eficial til Georgia, as it will driVe
many farmers to produce more pro
visions and small grain, and especi
ally com. To-day a great many
farmers who planted all or nearly
all of their land in cotton last year
are getting their corn from the West,
and going into debt for it or paying
enormous prices; and this is some
thing that they can’t do and prosper

Why she wept: “Not heard of

ber of the Cincinnati Ladies’ Asso
ciation ; “nothsard of Boston’s blue
eyed Boy of Genius?” The pork
packer’s fair but ignorant daughter
blushed at the implied rebuke and
timidlv asked: ‘What did he write? 1 ’
“What did he write!” shouted her
companion with increasing surprise.
“Is it possible that you have never
heard of ‘The Mill of the Floss?”’

It cannot be that earth is man’s
only abiding place.. It cannot be
that onr life is a babble cast up by
the ocean *f eternity to float a mo
ment upon its waves, and sink into
nothingness. Else, why these high
and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temple of our
hearts, forever wandering unsatisfi
ed? Why is it that the rainbow
and clouds come over us with a
beauty that is not of earth, and then
pass off to leave us to muse on their
loveliness ? Why is it that stars
Which hold their festival around
tho midnight throne, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mocking us with their unap
proachable glory? And finally,
why is it that the bright forms of
human beanty are presented to our
view and taken from us, leaving the
thousand streams of onr affections
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon
onr hearts ? We ware born for a
higher destiny than earth. There is
a realm where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will be spread
ont before ns like islands that slum
ber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings that pass before us
like shadows, will stay forever in
our presence.
—An attempt was made Saturday
night to fire Gradyville. The inceD-
diary torch was applied under the
door of a store near which stood an
oil can, which was fortunately emp
tied by the day’s trade, and the
smoking timbers awaking the sleep
ing occupants of the store, the fire
was discovered and put out before
it gained damaging headway.
—Cnthbert Enterprise: “Mrs.
Melton, well known to our citizens
throngh the importunities of her
two children, Billie and Ann Eliza,
died last Thursday. For something
more thatxa month she and her fonr
children had been living in the
woods, with no protection hut a
straw shelter, preferring this coarse
of life to a residence at the county
farm, where a good shelter and
plenty of food could have been en
joyed. A few days before her death
she was taken by some negroes to
the old hospital house where, in ab-
solute want, she died as above stat
ed. The county gave her a decent
burial. The fonr children, includ
ing Billie and AnnJEliza—in charge
of Captain Kiddoe—were sent to the
Methodist Orphan’s Home, near
Macon, on Tnesday last.”
—Midway correspondent Mil
ledgeville Sear aid: “On the night
of February 28th,-at about twelve
o’clock, lightning strnck the chim
ney on the east ond of my house,
knocking the top off, tearing off the
gable end and rnnning down the
studding next the chimney, tear
ing np part of the hearth and scatter*
ing the brickbats, timber, morter,
etc., over the room, breaking ont
the glass of the windows and scat
tering it all over the- room. ’ Mr.
M. B. McGinty and T. A. Chapman
were setting at a table abont six
feet from the fireplace writing and
were both thrown hack from the
table and badly shocked. Chapman
received a slight wound on his face
from some of the timbers. Mr. Mc
Ginty was also shocked and receiv
ed a cat on the back of the head,
but neither were seriously hurt.
Mr. N. S. Eaves was lying on a bed
in the corner of the room, with his
head within four feet of the scant
ling that was entirely torn ont by
the lightning, and was considerably
shelled by brickbats and mortar;
but his head being protected by
the headboard of the bedstead he
was hhrtyery little. J. T. Cook and
A. B. Eaves were lying on a bed in
the room, where they were covered
up by splinters and dust. Splinters
were also stuck in the celling of the
room all about. John C. Hilbnrn
was sitting on the bed in the oppo
site corner from Mr. Eaves, and
wheu he came to himself he was on
floor. R. M. Eaves was on the bed
with Hilburn but received no injnry
at all. The lamp on the table, be
tween McGinty and Chapman, was
put ont and a hole made through
the lamp chimney. There were
twelve in the other part of the
house.”

Extract From a Sermon. Preacbed
on the Last Day ortbe Tear 1865,
tlie Tear tviitcli Closed the War,
by .Bishop Elliott.
Farewell old year.! . Thy course
lias been a troubled one—to-day
thou goest ont in tears and gloom—
thou hast scattered from thy wings
many sorrows—but thou hast not
forgotlon to drop among them some
rich mercies—thou hast seen many a
field of blood—hut thou hast shield
ed upon those fields, many a loved
ono from wounds and death—thou
hast looked in upon innumerable
chambers of sickness and suffering
—bnt thon hast seen a woman’s ten
derness soothing them—holy angels
ministering unto them—the Holy
Spirit comforting; them—thon hast
heard as thou hast passed, the wid
ows wail and the orphans cry, bnt
thou hast likewise heard a voice
saying: “Leave thy fatherless chil
dren I will preserve them alive, and
let thy widows trust in me”—and
now thou goest out and will soon be
mingled with the years that are for
gotten-forgotten by man, but not
by God—the time will come when
thon wilt again he unfolded to the
gaze of the universe and all the
blood and misery and treachery
and coruption and iniquity and
war, be jndged; in tho face of a
risen world and be weighed in the
balance of an even handed justice.
An Eloquent Passage
G. D. Prentice.
Captain Percival, a Cape Cod mar
iner of the old school, was once
awakened in his bunk by a shipmate
with the announcement that the ves
sel was going to eternity. “Well,”
replied the ' captain, “I’ve got ten
friends over there to one in this
world; let her go.” And ho turned
over and went to sleep again.
BUST PROOF SEED OATS,
I OFFER for sale ten thousand bushels of
Genuine Texas Bed Euat Proof Oats se
lected by a party on the spot with a view to
getting nothing but the genuine article. They
are the same quality that I sold so many of
last season, which gave such general satisfac
tion; in fact I have not heard of a single in
stance in which they failed girepafed satisfac
tion. If reports from the com crops ont West
are to be credited, the price of corn willri le
much higher next season than it did the past,
hence the necessity of sowing more Oats and
earlier than last season, in order to secure a
stand before the freezes come on them. I am
prepared to fill orders for early sowing. The
demand for Seed Oats will be unprecedented
ly heavy this season, and I have advices from
Texas of a marked advance in the price of
them, and I think it advisable for those in
need of Seed Oats to secure them at once.
1 will exchange Oats for Cotton Seed, or
will buy all the Cotton Seed I can get; at the
highest market price, for the money.
