sale Of an Indian Elephant.

An elephant dealer, by name Buxoo,
was travelling from Sylhet to Northern
India with string of elephants for
sale. When he arrived at Hurdwar,
where the Ganges flows down fro m the
mountains into the plains of HindOs-
tan, it was the time of the great D1eLd,
or annual fair, when the HindOos come
in myriads to bathe in their sacred
stream. This is the time when elephant
merchants from the south, horse deal
ers from CaboOl, Clutch and Katywar,
the sellers of camels from Central lu-
dia, and bullock drivers from Hissar
and Delhi, bring their animals for sale.
BuxoO soon found customers for five
out of six of his animals. The sixth,
for some reason well known to BuxoO,
and others skilled III elephants, re-
NAMED unsold. The last and greatest
day of the fair came, and our mer-
chant was in a state of the utmost anx-
iety lest he should have this one ele-
plant left upon his hands.
At the moment when the fair became
busy, up walked a villager, who began
a close Investigation of the elephant.
Buxoo became more than ever uneasy.
OOOHO Duhls Shlu hc, thhI 10, AlSbOh,
my brother" 81 can see you are a
Judge of elephants. Now, say nothing
to hinder the sale of mine; j mean to
ask 500 rupees, and you shall have fifty
to yourself" The villager assented.
Presently purchaser was found, and
the fifty rupees honestly paid over to
this Judge of the elephants" As he
was quietly putting the fifty rupees
into the folds of his cummerbund Tor
waist cloth). Buxoo put the following
question:
"Tell me, my friend, by what art you
found out there was anything amiss
with my elephant? I thought / had
got him up well for sale.
''Sir," said the judge OF the ele-
plants, putting a finishing hitch to the
notch which held his rupees, ''to tell
you the truth this was the first ele-
plant l ever saw, and was trying to
find out which was his head and which

society, the utmost care and considera-
ton are paid to her appearance, avow-
eddy for particular object-that she
may attract young men.
In order to accomplish this-to in.
sure admiration, which the chaperons
designate cher success"--no tricks are
considered to be out OF place. If she
is pale, and it is unbecoming, recourse
is had to the rouge-pot, which is Judi
ciously used by the experienced hand
of an anxions chaperon. If she is thin
and spare, and her figure is not fully
developed, the dressmaker is instruct
ed to supply what nature has omitted,
and by dint of pads to impart a round
ness which does not exist. If she is
the reverse, then the budding charms
are to be exhibited, aud low
dressing is adopted. In short,
the one idea is TO make the most
of n young girls ''points," and to
hide her defects. She is introduced
into society very much as horses are
taken to fairs for sale. Her points, !"
her "paces," are carefully studied be-
forehand, and the chaperon takes the
place and performs the part of sales
man. Her daughters establish ment IN
the world is the one all-absorbing idea,
and men are valued according to their
rent roll. As dress is the means by
which favorable impressions are first
made, it plays a very prominent part in
the game, aud all the tricks and entice-
ments of which dress is capable are
adopted without any hesitation. We
do not, of course, refer to those per-
fectly innocent embellishments which
relate to the preference of one dress for
another, or for one style for another.
These are most Legitimate and innocent.
We refer TO those impOstures In dress
by which things seem to be which are
not, and the adoption of which is in
itself a great indignity to the whole
race of womankind. No one is bound
to dress herself unbecomingly; but, on
the contrary, is more than justified IL

Oar protest is against the introduction
of novelties by which women are
Taught to impose upon the world,
which cannot fail TO have a democrat
izing influence over them, and which
desecrate that modesty which is the
best jewel woman can wear.

Particulars or The Explosion OF the Boil.
er OF the Tug w. X Hutr
From the Detroit Tribuna So. Ia

From the Detroit Tribune Sent IoI
Last night. about II o'clock. as the
tug W. K. Muir was towing the bark
City of Buffalo and another vessel
down the St Clair river. aud about
half mile below Port Huron, the
boiler exploded, making a complete
wreck of the boat, causing the death
of large number of those on board,
and severely scalding the remainder of
the crew. The captain, Robert Prid-
geon, and the first mate, Elijah Prid-
geon, both brothers of Capt. John
frldgeOn, the owner, are among the
missing. and are supposed to be lost.
DO are John hrIshner, first engineer,
and James SchOfield, second engineer.
VINO Is supposed to have been on watch
at the time. The latest dispatch re
celVed by Capt. John Pridgeon stated
that six OF the crew, who numbered
twelve in all, were lying at house
near the scene of the explosion, all in
jured and one not expected to live.
Capt. PridgeOn took the Grand Trunk
train this morning for Port Huron to
ascertain the exact extent of the disas.
ter, which as yet is not fully known
here, as the dispatches received are very
meagre and somewhat confused, though
they Indicate the losses above men
toned clearly. Both the CAPTAIN and
mate OF the tug We're married, and the
former was man of family. They had
been connected with the boat for sew
eral years, and were universally respect
ed throughout Detroit, where they
resided. kristner, the first engineer,
had but recently been DrOmoted to that
position, having served as second en-
glneer Tor long time previously, while
Schoteld bad but recently been placed
upon the boat. The former was re-
garded as an unusually careful man,
and very competent to fill the duties
OF this position, while of Schofield we
know but little.
The tug was a large one of about
40 tons and valued at $50, 900 at least.
Indeed we understand that Captain
Prldgeon has, within wear. been of
fered S22, 900 for her. As the risk of
explosion IS not usually insured
against by companies, we presume she
Is total loss to her owner, who. how
ever, would be but little afflicted by
the calamity, were it not that his
brothers have without much doubt
both been swept into eternity by this
terrible misfortune.
LATER. james SchOfeld, % engin-
Ger, was saved, as we have ascertained
since the above was written, and John
krlshneT, the first engineer. was on
duty. The number OF the lost is seven.
aud five are saved, of whom probably
one will die

NOTE SYSTEM OF THIS COMPANY.

airy /, 1864 truthfullv remarks: sit is an oh.
viOus principal Of Life Insurance, that it can
not be done on credit The article in which
the Company deals must be paid for in cash
before it can be supplied. But the Company
may, and often does; receive part of the pre-
MUM in the note Of the insured without in
surfing or attempting to insure on credit"
This is the case where the note is limited
to the actual vaiue Of the policy at the end
of the year.
On whole life policy, the premiums on
which are a constant annual sum, there is in
the earlier years an excess OF payment over
the actual risk, TO make up for the deficiency
upon the risk 10 the latter years of life. That
is, each man pays during the first few years
a certain sum each year TO enable the Com
pany to continue tine rick at the constant sum
during the later years
The accumulation of these yearly sums at
any time, is the net value Of the policy. To

When the notes taken exceed this limit,

Company proportional to the amount of such
excess; and more, there is a want OF equity
between the members, those continuing in

Poem for the Dedication OF Antfstsm
Cemetery.
IL CLARENcE 2. BuHLER.

Upon a bright September morn,
Five years ago to-day,
The pleasant hills Of Maryland
Green and untrOdden lay;
While Autumn leaves were streWn about
In purple and IN gold,
Like that Asyrian host DER which
The plague at midnight rolled.
The pheasant beat his long tattoo
Where soon the drum wOnld play,
And merrily AntietAm Greek
Went singing on its way;
But many a tatteTed banner trilled
Upon the ArmOry wall,
AS II il felt tho coming
or tempest soon To fall.
The tramp of Lees battaliOns
struck family on the ear,
As thunder in the distance tells
A storm Is drawing near;
While stretched along yOn bTistllng hight
The rebel files Of gray,
Like leaden clouds that soon would burst
In ruin aud dismay.
But round the flag of Freedom
Her stalWart yeOmen stood,
Resolved its stars SHOULD never set
Till they went down in blood.
Not flower Of speech lost on the blast
Had answered her appeal,
But marches like a gathering storm
Or avalanche OF steel;
With every hamlet adding
To the thunder of their tread,
AS If the Revolutions graves
We're giving up their dead,
And students fighting in their dTeamg
The Punic wars again,
Woke, in a hOlier cause 10 bleed
On red Antietam's plain.
The poet then gives an animated de-
scription OF scenes in the battle, and
concludes:
No more the pulse that beat 30 true
Will quicken as the loud tattoo
Ascends at sunrise from the camp,
Or sternly beat the measured tramp;
kut hands unseen will hither bring
The earliest viOlets of the Spring;
And pilgrims who have viewed with awe
The ruins II that haunted shore
Where shrOuds OF lava OveTspread
The silent cities of the dead
And every step brings through the gloom
An echo from the stored tomb
No longer DER the deep will roam
To leave a h lIeT shrine at home ]

Mrs. THERESA YELVRRToN, the wife
of Major Yelverton, formerly of the
18th Hussars, British army,) is now in
New York. This lady is well known
to the reading public on both sides OF
the Atlantic as victim of the unjust
laws of Great Britain relating to mar
riage. Mrs. Yelverton was twice mar
ried to her husband, once IN Ireland
and once in Scotland. The legality of
the marriage he denied, and brought
suit for divorce several years ago. The
Scotch marriage was decided to be lille
cal, but with all the acumen of the
learned counsel for the plaintiff they
were unable to invalidate the marriage
performed under the Irish law. The
case was finally taken to the Lords, who
have refused to put the recreant hus-
band under oath for the reason that he
may crimiDate himself. From the time
he has began the suit for divorce, he
has been living with another woman,
not his wife, an offence against moral
ity and decency, for which he was dis
missed from the army as being unit to
associate with gentlemen. Mrs. Vel
verton proposes to employ herself
while in this country In giving readings
from the British and American poets,
for the purpose of defraying the heavy
expenses she is daily incurring in pros
ecuting her appeal before the House
of Lords. This undertaking she is in
duced to attempt at the solicitation of
Influential friends here aud in England,
who predict for her a success IN TINS
country fully equal to that which has
rewarded her efforts in Great Britain.

A few months ago gentleman moved

carriage. A "likely colOred boy" was
employed at fai r salary to take charge
of the establishment, and discharge the
numerous duties which would arise
around a well regulated homestead.
For time things went on smoothly
with "ChOres," but latterly he seemed
out OF spirits, and seldom smiled. His
employer observed this Respondent de-
meanor of "Chores, and he determin-
ed to get at the bottom of it. Perhaps
he was in Lowell But no matter. TAX
ing "ChOres" aside one day when he
looked more gloomy than usual, he en-
quired, considerably, what allied him.
"Well, you see, Msrs'r," he began, In
sort of tragic style, "YOu's got but
