JOURNAL

The pride of every county should
be the building up of county or
gan that will advocate the interest
of the people.
Since the JOURNAL has passed
into the hands of the present pro-
prietorS, its effect has been clearly
felt and seen in its advocacy of pub
lie improvements. 1t has been
no less active i'm the religious, edu-
cati0nal and political interests of
its patrons. 1t, therefore, should be
the pride of the people of the coun-
ty to sustain and improve il by the
increase of their patronage.
The proprietors ask that every
man III the county takes and works
for the paper. Let each subscriber
feel himself authorized to not oniy
speak in its favor, but to secure
more subscribers.
No county paper published i'm the
State gives rs large an amount of
local news as the JOURNAL.
The JOURNAL will advocate the
interest of the whole county-hcr

ness interests of the people.

AN ELEPHANT STORY.

AN elephant dealer, BY name BuEoO,
was travelling from Sylbert to Northern
India with a string Of elephants for sale.
When he arrived at Hurdwar, where the
Ganges flows down from the mountains
into the plains of HindOstan, it was the
time of the great n1ela, or annual fair,
when the HindoOs come in myriads to
bathe in their sacred stream. This is
the time when elephant merchant from
the South, horse dealers from Cabuol,
Clutch and Katywar, the sellers of cam
els from Central India aud ballock-driv-
ers 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 best known to BuIOo
and others skilled in elephants, remain
ed unsold, The last and greatest day of
the fair came, and our merchant was in
state Of the utmost anxiety lest he
should have this one elephant left upon
his hands. At the moment when the
fair became busy, up came a Villager who
began a close examination of the ele-
Phant. Buxoo became more than ever
uneasy.
"SOono Bbai," said he-tbat is, 'lis-
ten, my brother'-'I can see you are a
judge of elephants. Now, say nothing
to hinder the sale of mine I mean to
ask only 500 rupees, and you shall have
fifty for yourself
The villager assented. Presently
purchaser was found, and the fifty rupees
honestly paid over to this Judge of ele-
phants' As he was quietly putting the
fifty rupees in the folds of his GUNNER
bund Cor waist cloth,) Buxoo put the
following question
"Tell me, friend by what art did you
find out that there was anything amiss
with my elephant? I thought I had
got him up well for SALE
Sir said the judge of elephants, put
ting finishing hitch to the knot which
held his rupees, 'to tell you the truth,
it was the first elephant I ever saw, and
I was trying to find out which was his
head and which was his tail 2

BUCKEYES ON THEIR TRAyELs.-In
the view of our New England friends,
Buckeyes and Western men generally
are not smart. They regard them as
having very lax ideas on the subject Of
law. Desiring to profit by the superior
civilization Of Massachusetts, two Of our
citizens resolved on a trip to Boston
We suppose it is pretty generally under
stood that liquor is said to be excluded
from the sacred limits of Massachusetts,
though the citizens Of that State man
age to get pretty drunk every few days.
Our friends, large-hearted, generous
men, like tod once in a while, and be-
fore leaving New York for Bosting, pro-
vided themselves with a flask of COgniac.
Just as they crossed the State line, and
as they were indulging in quiet drink,
sitting in the cars, a passenger approach
ed and touched one Of them on the shoUl-
der, and said:
"Saay, yew, what's ye got in that ERE
bottle ?''
The gentlemen addressed looked up
and replied:
We'll, it's brandy, if know myself,
and pretty good at that"
Dew tell. Want to know! Really
brandy, is t?" and his mouth watered as
his nose caught a fragrant Whit Of the
generous liquor. Yaas brandy
WAL, the State constable wants to see
you at the next station. We'vego laws
in Massachusetts,. Where be yew from
"From Ohio, was the response.
Want to know! 'Spose yeW kin
drink much's yer mindter out there,
can't ye? WAL, here yeW can't dew
it."
Our friends demonstrated, but it was
of no avail, and as they reached the sta
ton they were arrested for bringing
liquor into the godly State-of Massa-
chusetts, contrary to law. Their bottle
was taken from them by the State Con
stable and the complainant, who with
the Justice retired to a back room
When the bottle was returned, it was
empty.
"Don't yer know" asked the Justice,
" that yeer can't bring brandy into Mas
sachusetts ?"
He was told that there was no inten-
tion of breaking the law or of doing
contrary to the statute in such
case made and provided: that every
where else men were not prohibited from
carrying what liquors they pleased, for
their own use.
They were finally discharged on the
payment of a fine of $40 and costs each
and the loss of their liquor.
If you desire to hear magnificent
swearing, and Yankees consigned at once
to their future homes, ask one of these
gentlemen when he intends taking an
other trip to Bosting-,St Statesman.
