ton ,haJ makes her peculiarly sensitive 10
external influences, even when Ia t0lerable

TO keep herself IN full health. Whether it
is the climate, Or cur way Of living, or what
ever may be the cause, the fact Is that the
American girl ~ q very delicate plant beau

partial, and deal too exclusively with the
dark side OF the subject; yet the facts stated
cannot be questioned, and It there be bright

expected 70 know what they say, declare that
they can hardly name single instance Of

A Mutiny QueIIed by an Elephant.

Recently fine specimen of the Asiatic
elephant was landed at Southampton, Eng
land, and was purchased BY Mr.. A. Fair
grieye, the acting proprietor Of the Queens
Menagerie. It was shipped at Bombay, and
was under charge Of a Samaritan named
Rance Jhandeegga (familarly known on
board by the term "Ramy''), to whom the
elephant was particularly attached, and VINO
had brought the huge brute under perfect
subsection. During the first few days after
the ship had cleared the land, every thing
wet on satisfactorily, bot, unfortunately,
heavy weather coming on, a spirit Of insub-
ordination was displayed by the crew. The
would be mutineers assembled together one
evening near the wheel-house, on the main
deck, close to where the elephant was chain
ed, and held counsel as 10 their future pro-
ceedings. The keeper, RAINY, lying at the
side of the animal, feigned sleep, as though
be paid no attention to what the disaffected
spirits we're saying. He heard the whole
details Of most diabolical plot 10 murder
the captain aud greater portion Of the
crew and passengers, and he as-ertained
that he (Ramy) was one Of the selected ones
who were thus appointed to be rutblessly
massacred.
Inc buclduSbt W uo w w MaAN NGEb tue
watch was changed that night. No time was
to be lost in warning the captain Of the dan
ger, but il was utterly impossible for RAINY
to proceed to the state cabin without incur
ring the greatest risk, inasmuch as he would
have been compelled TO pass through the
midst Of the plotting rascals, end they would
certainly not have scrupled in eifectualy
silencing on the spot one whom they had
themselves selected for slaughter. The WHY
keeper, however, took a wiser course, and
as 1t eventually turned out, very service
able one. Noiselessly uDfastening the chain
which bound the elephants forelegs, RAINY
set the animal at liberty, and, springing 70
his feet in an instant, be bound into the
midst Of the m1Iineers, followed bY the ele-
pssnt. Giving signal to the intelligent
brute, /: laid about it right and left with
ite trrnk, and the astonished sailors were
quickly prostratei on the deck, wounded
and bleeding, and shouting loudly for mercy.
The captain, hearing the disturbance, was
quickly on the spot, and having been made
acquainted with ne facts Of she case, caused
the muuneers to be put 10 irons, TO be dealt
with at the Grst port at which they touched.
The wounds caused by the animals trunk
were somewhat fearful.
