How TO DIVIDE OPP ELEPHANTS. "A
Chinaman died, leaving his property
by will to his three sons, as follows: 10
Fum-Hum, the eldest, one-half thereof;
to Nu-Pin, his second, one-third thereof;
and to Ding-Bat, his youngust son,
one-ninth thereof. When the property
was inventoried it was found to consist
of nothing more nor less than seven
teen elephants; and it puzzled these
three heirs how to divide the property
according to the terms Of the will with
out chopping up the seventeen ele-
plants, and thereby seriously impair
ing their value. Finally they applied
to a wise neighbor, Sum-Punk, for adj
vice. Sum-Punk had an elephant OF
his own. He drove it into the yard
with the seventeen and said: "Now
we will suppose that your father left
these eighteen elephants. Fum-Hum,
take your half and depart" so Fun
Hum took nine elephats and went his
way. "Now, Nu-Pin," said the wise
man, take your third and git" So
Nu-Pin took six elephants and Travelled.
Now, Ding-Bat," said Sum-Punk,
take your ninth and begone." So
Ding-Bat took two elephants and alb
squatulated. Then Sum-Punk took his
own elephant and drove home again.
Query: Was the property divided
according to the terms Of the will!

A ToUGH Mule SroRY.-There is q
man ont in Oregon who has a mule.
Lately he was driving the animal across
the prairie, when it suddenly stopped.
The man left his wagon and attempted
to induce the mule on, but without sue
cess. He beat it, he coaxe6 it, and he
cursed it, but he refused to bulge He
tiled fire-crackers to his tail and ex-
lploded them, but the mule merely turned
his head in languid sort of way, ex-
amined the fireworks, and calmly
winked at the man. Then the man
thought the mule had forgotten some
thing and wanted to go back, and so
he tried to turn him around; but the
mule expressed a firm determination
not to go home The man became des-
perate, and thought he would build
fire under the mule, but as fast as he
would kindle it the mule, standing firm
upon three legs, reached over with
its other leg and kicked the flames out.
Then he tore his hair and swore-the
man did-and he rushed to the wagon
and got twelve pounds of gunpowder,
and he dug hole under that mule and
built mine. Then he covered up the
charge and laid a slow match. and
stood off little piece while he lit it.
There was rumble, and O roar, then a
terrific explosion; and, amid a cloud
of dust and upheaved rocks, the mule
was observed to fling its hind legs
in the air and to support itself upon its
fore feet in that position until the blast
was over, when it quickly assumed its
old attitude, and a gentle smile passed
over its features as it perceived its
master lying down, grooming, and ours
ing the day on which he was born. It
was Of no use. The man went home
and brought out two yoke of. oxen,
hitched them to his mule, and they
pulled; but the mule dug his hoofs into
the prairie, and there stood as firm as
Casabianca on the burning deck. Then
the man, in furious rage, went and
got three movable steam engines and
chained them to the mule. Three half
inch cables were snapped assunder, and
the mule still maintained its defiant
attitude. It is there yet, and the man

reason to believe that theiprisoner hac
taken it?"
No, sir" she answered.
"Had you ever detected her in any
dishonesty
"No, sir
"Shouid you have thought of search
ing her trunk, had not Nancy Luther
advised and informed you?"
"No, SIR
Mrs. Nasty left the stand and Nancy
Luther took her place. She came up
with bold front, and upon me cast a
defiant look, as if to say, TRAP me il
you can" She then gave her evidence
as follows;
She said that on the night the money
was taken she saw the prisoner go up
stairs, and from the shy manner in
which she went up, she suspected that
all was not right, 80 she followed her
up. elizabeth went to Mrs. Nasby's
room and shut the door after her. |

keyhole, and saw her take the money
and put it in her pocket. Then she

Then she went on, told how she in
formed her mistress of this, and how
she proposed to search the girls
trunk.

"You said that no one save yourself
had access to your room," | said. "Now
couldn't Nancy Luther have entered
the room, if she wished?"
Certainly, sir; meant that no one
else had any right there"
! Saw that Mrs. Nasty, though natu-
rally a hard woman, was somewhat
moved by poor Elizabeth's misery.

any means that is in your knowledge,
where your money wasW
"Yes, sir; for she has often come to
my room when | was there, and have
often given her money to buy provis
ions of market-men who happened to
come along with their wagons"
Zone more question: have you
known of the prisoner having used
money since this was stolen ?"
NO, sir"

she began to tremble little, though
her look was bold and defiant as ever
Miss Luther" said |, why did you
not inform your mistress at once of
what you had seen, without waiting
for her to ask about her money!"
Because | could not at once make
up my mind to expose the poor girl

You say you looked through the
keyhole and saw her take the money ?"
Yes, sir"

she did SOW

What do you mean by that?"

said she did not mean anything, only
that she picked up the lamp.

In our Sundays issue we stated that cir
cumstances existed leading to the belief
that the body of the murdered man found
at Covers Island was that of Mr.. Cshill,
who had several weeks since started on
peddling expedition in that direction, and
who had not since been heard of. A party
of gentlemen visited the locality on Sun
day to ascertain if this was the fact. They
returned in the evening, having learned
sufficient to know beyond the contingency
of doubt that the remains were not those
of the missing peddlar as surmised. Thus
the affair and identity remain enveloped
in the obscurest mystery to which there is
no apparent clue whatever.
