prevailed on to accompany him to the theatre
where our orator was to display bis elocption

was the reply, g but the young mans memory

An Elephants Gdilontry.

PETERSBURG, APRIL 2, 1917.
A wooden house has been built for the
elephants with which the Emperor has been
presented by the Shah Of Persia the male
is seventeen feet high, and is the same upon
which the Persian monarch used to ride
under All awning Some Persians have re-
NAMED here TO attend these animals. A
very curious circumstance occurred few
days since. A lady who often ceme to see
the elephant, was accustomed TO bring him
bread, apples, &c. One day the animal, by
way Of showing his gratitude, seized the la1
dy with his trunk, and put her upon his
back, on the place where the driver usually
sits. The poor woman, terrified by this
unexpected piece of gallantry, shrieked Vi
olenuy, and begged TO be taken down /; but
The Pursians assured her that twas far more
nrudent 10 remain where she was. She
was, therefore, obliged TO wait till the ele
nhant laid hold Of her again, and set her
down as gently as he had before lifted her
up # Panmoma.

chief, did mol scruple to so to him with only
two or three attendants, though it was a
considerable distance from his own army
and he had 10 pass through country full
Of negroes, who had very lately been his
mortal enemies. Meanwhile Mons. Roleme

he was not 10 be seen. The General was
