through the different streets and roads.

who kneeled down 10 enable me to mount
hin, and some Of them made us a saaam
when told TO do so by their keeper, or
'mahout,' as the driver is called. They
are intelligent animals. A story was told
ne of a number Of elephants in one of
the MoIusSi districts. One of them had
committed a fault in refusing 10 carry a
slight additional burlhen, when Old by
the mahou, that he would get extra grog
for it.

presence Of twenty of his eiephanllne

trunks in acknowledgment Of its justice.
Another was appointed to fog him, which
he did by giving him fifty lashes with a
long chain twined about his trunk and the
culpril received the whole meekly, well
knowing he deserved il! They are very
cunning as to weighing their food with
their trunks when on a march ,and If there
is an ounce short they discover it, and In
sist on the regular allowance. When
travelling they each have gallon of grog

GREAT BALLOON EXPERIMENTS BY
PRoF. Wise We learn from the Lam
yaster Daily Times that Prof. John Wise
of that city, extensively known for his
many successful and thrilling Aeronautc
VOYAGES and discoveries, left Lancaster on
Friday, for Washington City. 10 make
prparal0ns for a series of the most extern
sve and interesting balloon experiments
ever witnessed in this country. Mr.. Wise
has been engaged to make these tXPeri
menls for the Smithsonian Institute, with
instruments provided for the purpose. lie
has made arrangements with the City Gas
Company, for liberal supply of Gas for
his use: One of is experiments will con
sist of squadron of Balloons in the shape
Of Balloon regat a. In another he will
cut loose from the balloon when two miles
high, (eaving the balloon in charge Of a
companion;) and descend with a canvass
air condenser.
Mr.. Wise expects to establish the prae-
ticability of guiding balloons along the
lines of telegraph and by other means, So
rs TO be able to steer for sud arrive at a
given point, with as much certainty as
ships are made 10 navigate the ocean and
carry on commerce over the world.
There is probably no man in our country
WHO is better acquainted with this subject.
or has had as much experience in eronan'ic
travels as Mr.. Wise, and as he is sangune
in accomplishing all that lie undertakes,
we expect 10 have the pleasure Of chroni-
cling the success Of his experiments.

Bayard TayIor as n Printer.

The editor ofthe Plymouth Qll.) Locomotive,
who was printer in the same Office where Bay
ard Taylor "served his time" tells some inter
esting "reminiscences OF the great traveller;
We had the honor TO succeed him in our term
of -devilshiPr in the Village Record Office,
Westchester, Chester County, Pa. We well re-
member the time when he started out on his
first {" tramp" with his small safchel containing
a change or two Of linen, and with fifty cents as
a capital The apprentices in those days had
to carry papers through the country on horse
lack, and our route was just past his fathers
house. We do not know Of single time,
through rain or shine, that old Mr.. Taylor did
not meet us at the end Of the lane with happy
smile, wishing'us gOod-day, and as we would
hand him the Weekly Record, he would remark,
"a fair exchange is no robbery filling one side
Of our saddle bags with nice apples and grapes.
he was member Of the Society Of Friends.
With his little farm and family around him, he
was happy man inneed He used TO inquire
anxiOusly after Bayard, and said, ''He liked TO
ramble around too much; he was not steady
enough" Little he knew then that his son
Bayard, the printers apprentice, would be one
day quoted as the greatest travelling historian
that America could boast Of
