Elephants al Sea.

The Calcutta Englishman says: A
few facts about the elephants now going
to Chittagong in the Scotia, under the
command of Captain W. ID. Matthews,
may be interesting to our readers. The
h Olstlng up mt the air and lowering
down into the hold of ship of such
large animals is not only an unusual
sight to most men, but also strange
experience to most elephants indeed,
Notwithstanding the great age of the
beasts, it seldom occurs TO them once in
lifetime. We are sorry to see 1t
stated by cotemparary that the ami
mails were goaded and ill-used into sub
mission. SO far rs we saw, no ill-usage
was practlced-they were simply Sc
cured, lashed with strong ropes, slung
as far as practicable in Sings, hoistea
up with cranes with three-fold tackles,
and lowered into the steamers hold
like bales of cotton. When in the hold
they were placed III pens built of strong
teak timber baulks, bolte,. to the ships
side to prevent them from breaking
loose.
The fear the animals suffered was the
only pain they underwent, and by
watching the eyes of the poor beasts,
their terror was very manifest; tears
trickled down their mild countenances,
and they roared with dread, more es-
pecially when being lowered into the
hold, the bottom of which was sanded
for them to stand upon. We are told
that one timld female elephant actually
tainted, and was brought to" with a
fan and many gallons of water. At sea
it appears that the elephants got into a
curious habit of occasionally evident
ly with a preconcerted signal--setting
to work rocking the ship from side to
side by giving themselves simultaneous
ly swaying motion as they stood
athwart the ship, the vessel rolling
heavily, as if in seaway. This they
would do for a spell of an hour or
more, and then desist for several hours,
until the strange freak took them
again.
At Chittagong, we hear that they
were hoisted out of the hold, and swan
on shore, thirtyfve being thus safely
landed without any accident whatever.
Our informant says that when they
were released from the sings, 1t was
supreme moment for the mahout, who
was always on the elephants neck from
the tune Of its touching the water to
letting 90. As the word was given to
''let go, each OF the elephants, either
from the lightness of his heart at being
freed from his floating prison, or from
his own weight, we are not sure which,
lightness of heart like hghtness of head,
causes elephants and men to play
pranks, plunged down deep into the
water the mahout on his neck. The
anxiety on the face of the mahout, just
one second before tho plunge. was
study so, too, was it when tie elephant
and man rose To the surface again, the
former blowing water from his trunk,
and the latter from his nose. Forty
four elephants go down by the same
steamer to Chittagong.

The Journey of the Empress Catherine
III. of Russia to the Crimea.
From Lirpincott's Magazine for March


Catharine travelled in gilt coach.
followed by fourteen more ccahes and
one hundred and twenty-four sleighs,
containing her suite and household
Each carriage being drawn by eight
horses, and each sleigh by four, about
six hundred horses were needed at every
relay.
To the unsophisticated country-peo.
pie who looked on, her journey seemed
that of a goddess condescending to
tread the earth. The courtiers who
surrounded her seemed to be minister
ing genii: the crown dignltaries, in
their rich uniforms and embroidered
coats, SO many kings and princes even
the lackeys were greeted with respect
full bows, and supposed to be generals
or senators.
The Serenissime (Potemkiu), who
during this journey had whimsically
assumed the name Of Grizko Nechosi
(Unkempt Gregory. had done every
thing within his power to make Cath
crimes progress through the new coun-
try a journey through Faryland.
Palaces We're erected to afford her shell
ter for single nights. Forests were
ignlted to illuminate the surrounding
country in the hours of darkness. Right
and left of the road immense bontires
of spruce wood and huge tar barrels
made the night as light rs day. Whole
herds of sheep, with focks of chickens,
turkeys and geese, were slaughtered at
every station to satisfy the hunger of
the imperial household. Picturesque
groves and gardens had been planted
in the preceding autumn.
The wretched huts and crumbling
country that CHANGED to lay
along the imperial route were unmer-
cifully pulled down, and villas with
Italian pOrtlcoes, and Swiss chalets
with carved roofs and verandas erected
instead Here and there a triumDhal
arch. with Cupids holding scrolls of
poetry in their chubby hands, spanned
the road. Herds of pure white sheep
and stately horses grazed by the way
side, tended by shepherds and shep-
erdesses fancifully attired, who played
upon their pipes and waived their
dainty hooks as Catherine passed
These same tlocks and shepherds hav-
ing to do duty more than once, were
transported from pasture to pasture
while the empress reposed, and again
greeted her sight the next morning
Wherever an uninhabited tract of
land CHANGED to lie on the route,
tastefully painted decorations rep
resenting temples, villas, and hamlets
were stretched between distant hill
locks, and fastened to poles or trees
on both sides of the road When the
express stopped for the night, the dec
orations, rolled up in haste and trans
ported further, like the tiocks and the
shepherds, did duty next day on the
banks of the river or the side OF a
mountain. Catherine admired and
praised, "What lovely scenery And
this was desert but short time
ago.' Such smooth little deceits were
in the taste of the day; the royal
deceived one who, perhaps, knew all
about it. 1t mattered not it hattered
her vanity and heightened the fame OF
Potemkin, the pampered fayorite of
Fortune.

How to Retain a Good Face.
From the American odd Fellow.


A correspondent has some good ideas
on the Importance of Ineutal activity in
retaining a good face. He says; I'VE
were speaking of handsome men the
other evening, and was wondering why
X. had so lost tbs beauty for which, five
years ago, he was so famous. Oh, 1T
because he never did anything, said
b: he never worked, thought or suf-
fered. You must have the mind CHS
cling away at the features, if You want
handsome middle-aged men. Since
hearing that remark have been on the
watch to see whether it is generally
true-and it is. \ handsome man who
does nothing but eat and drink, grows
fiabby. and the fine lines of his features
are lost; but the hard thinker has an
admirable sculptor at work, keeping
his fine lines in repair, and constantly
going over his face to improve, if pos
sible, the original design"

( New Locomotive.

Mr.. Thomas, an English civil engi-
neer, has invented locomotive which is
Il novelty in its way. The particular eX-
cellence claimed for it is, that instead of
requiring track adapted to- it, it adapts
itself to the track. 1t is described as
having two driving wheels about five
feet in diameter, on which almost the
whole Of the weight of the engine rests:
and a smaller wheel III front, which is
for steering purposes, and is so COM
pletely under control as to answer the
slightest touch of the hand. Each wheel
has a broad iron tire, with narrow
hanges, upon which is placed a soft,
vulcanized India rubber ring. about
twelve inches in thickness, the fanges
keeping it in its place. Over the India
rubber there Is placed an endless chain
of steel plates, three and half inches
wide. which form the portion of the
wheel that comes IN contact with the
rough road and this reticulated chain
is connected with what may be called
vertebrm at each side Of the wheel
In consequence Of the pliable, elastic
property of such ties, the wheel-sur-
face, ;" says the enthusiastic inventor,
presents, according to the condition
of the road over which it passes, the
broad, quiet tramp of the foot of the
elephant, the gentle step of the feline
race, or the web footed effect of the
Aquatic animal whom walking on the

will become a vehicle worth having.

The Demand Tor Sewing Machines.

Probably no one invention has come
into such general use as the sewing ma
chine. The business of manufacturing
and selling them. says the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin, has grown up mainly
within the past fifteen years, but during
the last ten years has increased rapidly.
There are now made and sold annually
in the United States about 100 900 sew
ing machines. and in every city, town,
village and hamlet, these useful ma
chimes are more or less in use Some
OF the largest manufacturers are now
running extra hours to keep up with
orders and even then are frequently
unable to supply the demand The
