From the North Star
AN ELEPHANT STORY.

In these times of menagerie, circus,
and museum travelling shows, remin-
iseence of the kind may prove interest
ing to many of our readers. and we
therefore present the following:
1t is more than fifty years ago, since
the first elephant was exhibited in this
vicinity. About the year 1921 a Mr..
Robins, having failed in business in New
York city, and being remarkably fond
of animals, his friends aided him in i'm
porting very large elephant-said to
have been the largest ever imported
We believe the animal was given the
name of Columbus, " and with him, Mr..
Robins. accompanied by black man as
keeper, and one laboring man, started
out on a tour of exhibition. At that
time, an elephan was great sight, es-
pecially in tie country towns, and he
always travelled by night, being exhib-
tied only in the day time. liz the year
1922 or '23, the animal was exhibited
in this village, for two or three days. in
the shed or barn of the hotel, then kept
by Capt. Wait. The night previous to
his arrival, lot of men and boys I'M
dertook to be very shreWd. and get
sight Of the elephant for nothing. and
supposing be was to come in by the
North Danyille road. they strewed lot
of potatoes in the highway, making a
fire with brushwood, and a large num-
Der of people assembled, exultingly wait
ing for the elephant to appear. But as
luck would have it. they didn't see him
that time Capt Wait. hearing of their
plans. despatched special messengers to
the keeper or drivers of the animal, and
they changed their course, came in by
the Walden road. and the elephant was
safely placed in the barn Of the hotel.
while the crowd sup North" waited till
broad day light, wondering why that
.'critter" failed to put in an appearance.
Subsequently, they saw him only By
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1875-09-27

paying for it. The huge animal remain
ed here some three or four days, draw
ing crowds of sight-seers from this and
the surrounding towns. On the third
or last day, there was large number
here. and his owner very literally told
the crowd that he should charge moth
ing. but would give them free public
exhibition. Consequently, the canvas
tent was taken down, and the elephant,
accompanied by the negro keeper, was
exhibited for an hour or two on the
"Green," driven up and down our streets.
made to perform tricks, &c., much to
the satisfaction of every beholder. These
incidents will be remembered by many
of our older inhabitants.
But there was sad sequel to this
Elephant Story" which we will briefly
relate. Some time after leaving Dan
vile, the elephant was sold to stock
company of persons in Windsor and vicin-
ity, for the sum of $4,000, and his
prior owner, Mr.. Robins returned to
New York city, leaving the negro keep
er with the new owners. But the ne
gro did not like the change, and in a
short time he absconded for New York,
where, in a day or two, he happened to
meet his old master. With surprise,
Mr.. Robins asked the darkey what he
was there for, and why he didn't stay
with the owners of the elephant? "Oh,
l don't like to-don't like 'em-am
homesick-wan't to be with you, mas
ter" was the reply. Mr.. Robins at
once saw the miserable dilemma in which
the new owners were placed by their
loss of the elephants keeper, and after
a good deal of talk he persuaded the ne
gro to go back to Windsor. Mr.. Robins
also going with him. Thus far, all went
we'll with the new company; but one
night, short time after leaving Wind
sor, the elephant, Mr.. Robins, and the
negro keeper undertook to cross the
bridge over the Connecticut river near
Westminster, Vt, when the bridge broke
down, killing the elephant, and drown
ing Mr.. Robins and the negro. The
bodies of the unfortunate men were
found, and the skin of the elephant was
afterwards stuffed, and placed in the
Boston Museum, where VIC presume it
may be seen at this day. Such was the
end of Columbus" and so ends our
true elephant Story"

DON'T,

Don't insult a poor man. His mus
cles may be well developed.
Don't fret. The world will move on
as usual after you are gone.
Don't color merchants for living.
1t is simply dying by inches.
Don't say, told you so. Two to one
you never said word about it.
Don't throw dirt in your teachers
eyes. 1t would injure the pupil.
Don't worry about the ice crop. Keep
cool and you will have enough.
Don't turn up your nose at light
things. Think of bread and taxation.
Don't buy coach to please your wife.
Better make her little sulky.
Don't write long obituaries. Save
some of your kind words for those living.
Don't imagine that everything is
weakening. Butter is strong in this mar
ket
Don't publish your acts of charity
The Lord will keep the account straight.
Don't mourn over financial grievances.
Bide your time and real sorrow will
come.
Don't put on airs in your new clothes.
Remember the tailor is suffering.
Don't be too sentimental. A dead
heart, properly cooked, will make saw
ory meal.
Don't ask your pastor to pray with
out notes. How else can he pay his
provision bill?
Don't depend wholly on Spaulding's
prepared glue. 1t will not mend broken
promises.
Don't ask the Lord to keep your gar
ments unspotted.' He isn't renovating
old clothes.
Don't linger where your love lies
dreaming Wake her up and tell her to
get the breakfast
Don't stand and point the way to
Heaven. Spiritual guide boards save but
few sinners.
Don't worry about another's mans
business. A selfshness is sometimes
commendable.
Don't attempt to punish all your enc
mics at once. You can't do large busi-
ness with small capital
Don't imagine that you can correct
all the evils in the world. A grain of
sand is not prominent in desert

SAD EXPERIENCE OF A GRAN
GER.

There came near being sensation in
this city this forenoon, but happily it
was averted. A well-to-do farmer and
his wife came to town with some butter,
and not being able to dispose Of it sat
isfactorily to the grocers, he drove up to
a private residence, where he had a
slight acquaintance with the family. He
got out, hitched his horses. and, leaving
his wife in the wagon, opened the gate,
and going round to the back door, rap
ped thereon. A voice from within an
swered, bidding him come in. The lady
of the house was there alone, busily en-
gagged in kneading dough. He told her
that he had some butter to sell, and
wanted to know if she desired any. She
replied that she did, wanted to know the
price, etc. He told her. She said she
would take all he had, which was five
pounds. But here was dilemma. Her
money was in her pocket-book, and her
pocket book was in the bosom of her
dress. Her hands were covered with
-four and dough, and she did not wish
to soil her dress, or take the trouble to
wash her hands; SO. after few mo-
ments of hesitation. she told the Gran.
ger where her money was, and request
ed him to take it out for her. With a
ehivalry so characteristic Of the sterner
sex, he hastened to oblige her. For
some unaccountable reason he couldn't
find it. The situation was embarrass-
ing. He had been gone so long that
his wife was getting uneasy, and had
called to him two or three times. He
didn't want to leave, however, without
his money, and SO he kept on hunting.
At last his wife made up her mind that
she would 60 and see what had become
of him. This she did, and had it not
been for her sudden appearance on the
scene, we firmly believe that he would
have been hunting for that money yet.
