Lieutenant-Colonel James Campbell, a brave and talented officer, affords us the following particulars of a personal adventure in Cey loo: I was reading to begui'.e the time during the beat of the day (says the colonel) when one of the servants ran into our but, in great alarm, exclaiming that be had just seen an elephant in a clump of trees, to which be pointed, not more than three hundred yards off. I, at leaet, had no with to encounter such an antagonist, if I could avoid doing so; but it was in council deemed adviiable to dislodge him, as otherwis s we might have to move our encampment; and to do so none of us were inclined. It was therefore settled that we should attack him; that is, if we could not by any other means Induce him to retire, and that too without delay. Having carefully loaded our guns with brass balls, we moved forward all three together; the Malays, who seemed greatly to enjoy the fun, forming a supporting column in our rear. It was also arranged, that if the ele phant stood his ground, I was to have the first shot; how then was it possible for me not to perform my part upon the occasion? By entering at a projecting point of the jungle, and being led much against his will, by the servant who said that he had seen the ele phant, we were able to come within a short distance of him, before he could perceive us. When he did so, or rather when he beard the noise which we could not Avoid making in approacbiog him, however cautiously, he suddenly turned round upon uscracklogand breaking the smaller trees and branches, as he ahuflled forwatd< towards the edge of the clump of jungle, so as to face us I think we were tnen not more than fifteen yards from bis head. I fired, and my two compan ions did so likewise and with the utmost coolness; when down fell the huge creature quite dead, almost at our feetl But to our amazement, away went some other elephants and a buffalo, willed we bad no idea were in tbo middle of Ibe cover, trumpeting loudly and crashing every thing that obstructed their passag-; and most fortunately for us, they did not seem to have missed their un lucky companion, as wc could hear them, for sometime, continuing their impetuous course through tbb juogle, and towards the wooded hills to the eastward. As for the buffalo, in her hurried attempt to escape, she took to the rigbt and thus fully exposing herself, Mr. F??? fired his second barrel at her, which breaking One of her fore legs she fell, with a great crash, not more than twelve yard* from us; aad whilstabe was endeavoring to rise, Mr. C sent the ball from his other barrel through her body, which iustautly ended her sufferings. I confess, bowsver, I should have been glad bad she escaped, aa abe seemed to be only half wild. We had In this instance managed admirably, and we Vrere therefore notalittle proud of ourselves; for upon examining the elephant, which, though large bad v-ry short tusks, we found that no less than two of the balls had en tered the brain, and the third had penetrated the head from the root of the trunk. This feat was performed and were all back in the huts, talkipg the matter over, -in less than half an hour from the time we had left WWt. _ - . . J The yonng elephants which are reared In the British Indian settlements are principal ly produced by the females that are taker wild at ths time they are in calf. It does not appear that there fa any difficulty In the education of these Utile ones, who are ao customed to a domestic state from their birth; but that they are gradually accustomed to bear busthene, and become obedient to the commands of their keepers. In ths kingdom of Ava, where the female elephants belong' ing to the king are in a state of balf-wlldness, there is considerable trouble in reducing the young ones to Fuomission. When we consider the enormous strength of the elephant, which enables him to break through all ordinary means of confinement, and at the same time regard not only his ability to resist any violent attack, bat his sagacity to elude any common stratagem, it must be evident that the business of his cap ture must be a task requiring equal conrage and activity???great skill and presence of mind in the individuals engaged in it???and, when.conancted upon a large scale, a combi nation of human force such as is seldom need except in the more prodigal game of war. The rudest mode o! taking the elephant is by digging a pit in his native forests, which is covered over with loose boards and the boughs and grass upon which be feeds. This is mentioned as the custom of Ceylon a cen tury ago; and the 8leor Brae describes this as the mode of taking the elephant for his flesh, by the Africans of Senegal. Mr. Wil liamson states that in places where the na tives find the elephants destructive neigh bors. they dig a pit covered with a slight platform of branchts and gnus, towards which ths herd is seduced by a tamo tie' pliant, when the leading pursuer is pr.cipl- ' ap. snfi the remainder retire tated into the trap, si in grest alarm. This practice ia evidently not very sncceasful; and we apprehend that the instinctive camion of the elephant not to tread upon any insecure ground must ren der it unavailing, except when 'his natural prudence gives away to the more powerful impulses of terror or desire. ???The inode of getting elephants out of pits," according to Mr. Williamson, ???is somewhat carious, extremely simple. The animal Is for the most part retained nntil sufficiently tracta ble to be conducted forth; when large bundles of jungle grass tied up into sheaves being thrown to him, be fa gradually brought to the surface, at leaat to such an elevation as may enable him to step out." The elephant will do the same if he la awamped in boggy ground, thrusting the bandies of grass and straw Into the yielding earth with his heavy feet, and placing them so around him with hla trunk that he at last obtains a firm foot ing. Fltny, who mentions the manner of taking elephants in pits, says that the com panions of the unfortunate animal who ia thui captured will throw branches and mastea of earth into the hole to assist in bis deliv erance. In Nepanl, and in the countries bordering on the northern frontiers of India, where the elephants are of a small s'xe, they are often captured by the natives with a phaum, or slip knot. This practice has some analogy with the custom of taking bones with the lasso, Id the Pampss The banter, seated on a docile elephant, round whose body the cord is fastened, eingles ont one from the wild herd, and cautiously approaching, throws bis pliable rope in such a manner that it rcs-s behind the ean, and over the browe of the animal pnnued. He instinct ively curls up bis trunk, making an effort to remove the rope; which, with great adroit ness on the part of the hunter is then passed forward over the neck. Aaother hunter next comet op, who repeat! the process; and tbns the creature i> held by the two time elephants, to whom tbepbauns are attached, till his strength Is exhausted. It would ap pear quite imp'sAble to take a large ele phant in thia manner; although with those of a peculiarly small breed the operation does not appear more difficult than that of securing the wild bone or the buffalo in the plains of Booth America. It it remarkable that in every mode of canturing the wild elephant, man avails himself of the docility of individuals of the same species, which he has already subdued. Birds miy be laugh: to ass-st in ensnaring other birds; but this is simply an effect of habit The elephant on the contrary, hsB an evident desire to join its master in sub- doing its own race; and, in this treachery to its kind, exercises so much ingenuity, cour age and perseverance, that we cannot find a parallel instance of complete tuOjection to the will of him to whom it was given to ???have dominion over the flab of the sea, and over the foals of the air, and over every liv ing thing that moveth upon the earth.??? The various modes, of capturing wild ele phants in India have undergone little varia tion tor several centuriea; and they are more or lees practiced in all parts of Asia where elephants are still required to maintain :he splendor of oriental luxury???to assist in the pomp and administer to the pride of dec potic monarchs; or, as is the caw in the Brit ish eastern establishments, to Dear the heavy equipage of an Indian camp, or to labor in tue peaceful occupations of transporting those articles of commerce, which ore far too weighty to be moved by the power of the horse or camel. A Boneless Man ???A correspondent trav eling in Kentucky, says in a recent letter: Two days after leaving BArbourville I spent the night at the cabin of a poor farmer among the hills, and daring a social family conversation, la which I participated, steer supper, some one Incidentally spoke of Hector Davis, ???the man without boue.??? 1 Immediately asked what was meant by the expression, when my host explained that Hector Davis was one of their ???neighbors," living some three miles farther oa among tue mountains, and that he actually had not a bone in his body. Aa I expressed some skepticism, he volunteered to suow me over to Hector???s the next morning. We knocked at the door of the Davis cabin about 0 o'clock next day, and the first thing that strucx tny attention upon entering was a middle-aged man sitting bolt upright and supported by a rude and peculiarly suaped Dame work. He was introduced to me as Hector Davis I at once entered into conversation with him, and discovered him to be a man of fair Intelligence, and eager to tell all about him self, In a votoe that was as strong aa my own. Igrasp:d hla hand upon first entering, Duthia dugeis all roiled up together like a caobage leaf in a mushy sort of way tuat made me glad to let go of them. Taking hold of hla limbs they yielded to the pressure until they were flattened oat to twice their proper width. The only Indication of boue was in his skull, which, while pliable almost as shoe leather, still offered a kind of protection 10 the poor fellow???s brain. His neck was limber as a dish cloth, and when his head was released irom its support, which was something in the shape of a sim ilar contrivance used iu photograph galleries, It rolled helplessly about upon his suoulders like a foot'ball. HU arms drooped at his tide, but with the aid of the muscle he was enabled to partly raise the forearm, although the hand curled over limply aud gave the whole a sort of ztgzig shape. He abuflled off his slipper, and requested me to step on his foot. I did so, and it at once spread itself out until it looked as if a railroad train had passed over it. Italowly resumed its natural shape, but it was fully a half bonr beiore he was able to get the foot in his slipper again. "Ferhaps you would like to tie my leg in a knot?'' no suggested. I found no difficulty in performing this feat, while my friend accomplished the mine with the other leg, and after we had aLo lied knots in both arms he presented a very knotty problem, indeed, and ono that would have aet a professional contortionist crazy. When we had unraveled all the knots and straightened his limbs again, ho requested us to lift him gently from his frame work aad place him upon the floor. This wo found no easy task, for his body slipped about in our arms like an eel, and it wasonly by securing a Arm grip upon his clothing that we man aged to keep him Dorn falling. We Anally succeeded in straightening him oat apon the floor, and then my friend, who seemed to thoroughly understand the boneless man's programme, seized a barrel standing near, and which I afterwards learned contained turnips, and swiftly upending it, at once pro ceeded to roll it over the prostrate Davis, from his toes up to his chin, and buck again to hu toes. The only manifestation ot pain he made was when the barrel passed over his Lear, and inogs, butitioft iiimin a horrible shape. I can only describe it by compiling It to that ??? men tbrowr of a min mode of mnd and tuen thrown up and flattened against a wall. Bat I bad no time to contemplate his flatness, os he almost immidiately called to us in a rather weak voice to ???roll him up.??? This we proceeded to do by doubling his head over bis chest and then continuing to ???roll him up" as you would a carpet, until we came to hla feet, and he formed a perfect cylinder about as large around as a hair birrei. A voice feebly piped frem the center of the cylinder for us to unroll him, and we .toon Lad him once more spread out over the floor. Bai,Looking Possibilities.??????Will electrici ty ever help us to navigate the air?" "Yea* when we can get five or eix time* more power per pound of weight than we now get from tne beet forms of small engines E ectrlcity has not done that yet. Here is the problem.??? tapping hia knee stoutly with his fist. "Wo want to get electricity from coal direct without the intervention of boiler aud engine. A good many people are at work on it, too, I tell you."??? ???You are not?" ???Ah, I won't tay yeti I won't eay even that there is any probability about it???we don't aee our way at all to it; but I will say it is suiely possible. Zinc and other metals we can get into electricity at once, but the trouble is to do that with coal and carbon*, if we coaid, we coulk get six hone power from one pound of coal, while with the boiler and ???team engine we get only one horse-power from three pounds of coal. We can???t trees mlt directly the power of carbon. If we could the ocean steamship could have all of her boiler room and a great part of her coal bankers for cargo, while the motive power would not occupy more than half the room at present devoted to the heavy engines. Enormous turns would be saved on construc tion and the coot of running would be greatly reduced." * Can not you get power enough by chemi cal electricity to run electric engines?" ???Certainly???get all we want and utilise it.??? ???Only???? ???Only we can???t feed our engines with money. In fact, it Is money we want, and tor that we want the power. Zina it just as mnch a combustible in the batterer or jar as coal ia in the furnace. Bat coal develops seven times as much power as zinc, and zinc cost thirty-five times as much as coal, a dif ference in cost per pound of 245, to I, or 24,- 500 per cent??? ???But about the balloon???? "Well, having lightness with power, we ???bould only need enough biiioon tor actual lifting power, and we would attain a very high velocity. You could bold a ten bone- rower motor ont in yonr band, and once in heilr, with fire poanda of coal, could the consumption be direct, the little jigger could go anywhere.

A Bestasxabls Doo Stoet.???A Chase???s Hills letter to the Boston Globs says that before the thaw Mark Sampson lost his dog Shep. Sbep was hit seen playing with Sampson s other dog Spot on tne crust on Bonnetle hill. Spot came home, but Shep could not be found. Mark made inquiry of every man and boy he met, but could hear notbiug of the lost dog. He traveled three days on snow shoes, but could not hear a word from Shop One night, coming home late, hungry and tired, after hours of unsuccessful searching, he threw himself on the bed, and during the sleep that followed Mark dreamed the dog was In V. F. Bennett???s old abandoned weil. He dreamed the same dream twee. Mark had no faith in dreams, bnt to please hia wife he went and looked down in the well. In the blackness ho could see two stars. The weil was thirty feet deep and dry. He' spoke to the dog, and be could see the two stare moving round. He could hear.no voice but knew the two stars in the bottom of the well wereShep'a two eyes. Then Mark cried: ???Dog in tne well I" three times. Mark is not low-spoken in common conversation, and when he yells he makes the hills and woods lowered into the well When George reached the bottom he found Sbep tickled almost to death to see him. He had been in the well four days and r,igb???s. He wasn???t hungry, but was awfully dry Hla hunger had been atay- ed in this remarkable manner. While he was lying at the bottom of the old empty well, Spot was hanging around Mr. Bennett's every morning after breakfast and every evening just after supper, when be would always be thrown a liberal amount of food. In the bot tom of the well the boy who went down in the bucket was 6urprl??ed to find a consider able nnmber of bones, and a piece or two of well preserved meat, whloh seemingly had been left over from Bhep'a last meal.

" Killed by Loneliness.???I bad a friend whose vaulting ambition burled him by chance into an abyta of despair. He came to New Mexico, and sought seclusion as a tender of sheep. He was intelligent, well educated, gentle; principles of morality had been incul cated In bis mind at an early age, and all who knew him accorded him a desire to bo honest and virtuous. Yet he went the way of many. Some squatters found nim by thn roadside one morning, dead. Finned to bis coat was a card, which bore simply the ex- cresslou, "It is lonely here." Yet the tourist .'eels, when first he sees this country that he could live here always, satisfied, oven though alone. I was given a lesson in etiquette by a Mex ican young lady I met in the train. I chanced to be the only man in the sleeping car when it drew out from El Faso, and after an Intro duction by the conductor, to whose charge the lady bad been committed, she and I be came quite well acquainted. ???I saw you eating an orange on the depot ilatform, she said. ???In Mexico that would is considered unmannerly.

This railway is that courageous oanow gauge line, the Denver and Rio Grande, whose feats of engineering have astonished the world. It runs from Denver 120 milts, down the foot of the front (or (outermost) range of the Rocky mountains at l'aebio, be fore it can 11 ud a passage through the moun tains into the interior.

A Child Carried Off by a Beak - -Quite a ripple of excitement was caused in Milea City, Montana, last week by the action of a pet bear, the property of Mr. Charles Brown; a prominent auctioneer and merchant of the town. Mr. Brown captured a mate cub hear about two years ago, and has raised him so tbathe has become quite a pet among the members of his family. He ususlly kept the animal ehained in his backyard, but to-day by some unaccountable means he broke Ills bonds and roamed at large through the afreets. No damage was attempted by bruin until he met a young child, about three years old, who unsuspiciously walked up to the sluggy brute and playfully pulled bis mane; foud- ling the animal, believing him to be a large, good-natured dog.
