JUST RXTALIATION.—A tame elephant, kept
by u merchant of Bencoolen, was suffered to go
at large. The animal used to walk about the
streets in as quiet and as familiar a manner us any
of the inhabitants, and delighted much in visiting
the shops, particularly those which sold herbs
and fruit, where he was well received, except by
two brutal tailors, who, without any cause, took
offence at the generous creature, and once or twice
attempted to wound his proboscis with their
needles. The noble animal did not let their
brutality pass unpunished. He filled his trunk
with a quantity of muddy water, and as be passed
their shop discharged ut them the whole of its
contents.

WILD Houses, &c.--In the province of Cu-
mans there are in the forests an immense nuns_
her of wild horses. They live in herds, gene-
rally five or six hundred, and even one thou..
sand, in number. They occupy immense sa-
vannahs, where it is dangerous either to disturb
or attempt to catch them. In the dry season
they are sometimes forced to go two or three
leagues, and often more, to find water. They
set out in this expedition in regular ranks, four
abreast, and then form a procession one quarter
of a league in extent. There are always six or
seven scouts that walk fifty or sixty pacesfin fraonndt
of the main body. As soon as they perceive
either a man, or any other foe, they neigh,
the troop stops. If they are avoided, they con-
tinue their march, but if any attempt is made to
pass across their ranks, they leap upon the im-
prudent intruder, and crush him beneath their
feet. The best way is always to avoid them,
and let them proceed unimpeded. They have
also a chief, who marches between the scouts and
the squadron ; a sort of adjutant, whose duty it
is to hinder any individual from quitting the
ranks. If any one attempt to straggle, either
frotn hunger or fatigue, he is bitten till he
resumes his place, and the culprit obeys with
his head hanging down. Three or four chiefs
march in the rear-guard, at five or six paces from
the troop.—Wild asses, when they travel, ob-
serve the same discipline. But mules, though
they likewise live in troops, are continually in
the habit of fighting one with the other, nor has
it been observed that they have any chief. Upon
the appearance of an enemy, they, however,
unite, and display still more skill and address
than horses, in avoiding the snares which are
laid Tor capturing them, as well as"ln effecting
their escape when they have been taken.
