ANzILEPHANT STORY.

A gentleman who had been for many years
a resident in India had very fine elephant
of noble size, which we will call Indra. Ii
was under the care of two keepers, named
Selim and Saadi, who took care of it.
During the month that it was under the care
of SeIim, the younger keeper, Indra had
plenty of food and was kindly treated. On
the other hand, Ssadi, the other keeper was
a drinking man, and spent the money allowed
for Indra's food in arrack and bang, a spirit
extracted, believe, from hemp. The ele-
phant was of course neglected during the
month that he was under charge of Saadi.
One day both the keepers happened to be
upon his back when he was taken to the
river; before he left the water he suddenly
turned up his trunk, and passing Selim, who
was seated nearest to his ears, he seized Saadi
round the waist, and plunging the wretched
man into the river, he held him under the
water till he was drowned. Selim trembled
for he thought he also should be a victim
TO the animals anger, but Indra knew who
had been kind TO him, and quietly suffered
himself 10 be led home apparently satisfied
with the vengeance he had taken.
This account shows how sensible to kind
ness is the poor balf-reasoniug eleghant.

The new Governor of California, Henry
h. Haight, was an early and prominent Re-
publican, and for several years Chairman Of
the Republican State Central Committee.
During the war his record was unexception-
able; but a couple of years ago he quarrel
led with the other San Francisco leaders Of
his party and bolted. The Democrats won
him over to their side by rendering him the
IGubernatorial nomination, and he furnished
them with capital candidate 10 draw diss

Hair" ticket. His opponent, Gorham, was
the king of the California lobby, and motor

ed that he obtained his nomination by back
ing the Convention and stuffing the primary

ROUGH ON THURMAN.

In 1866, a gentleman, (i) for heinous
crime, was sent up to the penitentiary from
this county, for three years He had deserted
the army, and seems TO have sympatized
greatly with deserters who were then in
prison. Last spring this fellow succeeded
in getting new trial, and was returned to
our county jail. While waiting his trial, in
conversation he freely expressed his anxiety
for the election Of Truman, the Democratic
nominee for Governor. Being asked his
reason for desiring his election, he said
"Well, by G. there's parcel of democrats
in the penitentiary, put there for desertion,
and one thing and another, who ought to be
out, and if Thurman is elected he will par
don them out" This Thurman Democrat,
on second trial, was sent up again for two
years, and having been himself deserter,
is, doubtless, more anxious for the election
of the deserter's friend. The conversation
above noted was expressed in the hearing OF
party entirely reliable, and shows on which
side deserters and rebels sympathizers vote

SAVE THE CORN FODDER.

The severe Summer drouth which has PRE-
vailed all over this region, causing farmers
to resort to early feeding of farm stock,
should admOnish them to save all the corn
fodder before it is touched by frost. The
corn crop in many places will not rIpen we'll
and a good thing can be made of the stalks for
fodder, by cutting them and securing in close
shocks, from the weather.
In cases where the ears are likely to Iipen
the grain, the top stalks and main leaves
can be saved by taking them off before frost
comes, and storing them in an airy loft or
shed, where they will cure and be safe from
the weather.
Well cured corn fodder is the best kind {
feed for cows and sheep and there is moth
ing better for colts than well cured corn
blades, taken off before they are fred by dry
weather or touched by frost, and then cured
l the shade.
A good deal of small corn will be cut IN
during the early fall and fed 10 the cows snd
othsr farm stock, green, which viii save the
trouble of curing, but it will be well to save
as much Of the corn fodder as possible for
winter use.-0hta Farmer,

The fashionable amusement Just now, in
Virginia, according to Lynchburg paper is
shooting bats" "a sharp fusilsde, II
says, "is opened every afternoon on this
feathery tribe, from the submits of the hills.
The birds are very numerous, and are said to
eat we'll"
To call the bat "bird," and speak of it
as '.feathery," is about. equal TO The Irish
man who on being stung by bee, exclaim-
ed: 'Tis purity bird, but how hot its
little fut isl" The assertion that the bat
"eats well' is valuable, however, as being
the first trustworthy information on record
as to the appetite of that winged reptile.
The Lynchburg journal further asks:
"Oan some one inform US where all the bats
stay in the daytime, and are bats and whip
po-wills the same thing?" The fact is that
the so-called ''bat" of Virginia is not bat
at all, but the bird known as the nighthawk,
1t belongs to the swallow family, and is also
connection of the whip-poor (not "po")
will. 1t bears no resemblance whatever to
the bat proper, except certain similarity in
its manner of flight. The Virginia gentle.

GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY

The Posts Washington letter says an Of
ficer of Gen. Grants staff relates conyersa-
ton he had with the General few days ago
when the General remarked concerning the
talk of making him President, that he would
not be President of the United States if the
opportunity were offered; that he was nc
politician; that he hated politics; that so fal
as reputation and honor were concerned he
thought he ought to be satisfied with what Of
these he already enjoyed, and that holding
the office of President would mar his present
comfort and drag him into storms and ex-
element of politics; that as the General Of
the army he had all the work he could dc
and time enough to enjoy the comforts ofhis
home and family, and that he as soldier
had gained friends enough in the country
without now seeking place where he
should gain no more, but probably lose those
whom he had gained.
