Capture Of a Herd of Elephants :

A correspondent of Land and Water
tells of the capture, IN the Mysore dis.
trict, India, of a herd of elephants,
numbering fOrty-nine head. An irri-
eating canal winds through a dense
Jungle, at some points approaching a
small river, at others stretching away
from it into the jungle. In one place n
bend of the canal forms, with the river,
an inclosnTe in the shape of horse
shoe, containing about fifteen acres Of
wooded ground. To this place ele-
plants resort during the monsoon.
crossing the canal at three or four points
where the banks have become tredden
down by constant use. In order to
trap the entire herd, two lines of chains
were rehched asross the river at the
ends of the horseshoe, and n trench
was dug on the river bank to cut off
escape on that side. The elephants
having crossed into the inolosure, the
fords we're bsrricaded with cocoanut
trees, the canal deepened at those
places, and two deep trenches cut from
the canal to the river. Fires we're kept
mp at night on the banks of the canal.
Meanwhile a deep, circular trench was
dug, and two parallel trenches were
also dug, leading from the horseshoe to
this small inclosure. Drop gates were
made to prevent the animals leaving
this keddah when once they had en-.
tered it.
A large force of men we're now di-
rected to drive the herd into the Eed-
dah. The frat tempt failed, the ele-
plants stampeding back into the horse
shoe after a few of them entered the
inciosure. a second effort was crowned
with success. First came a female with
her calf then seven other females, and
after q while on came the entire herd
with a rash, males, females, and calves
of ell sizes, " like a herd of rather large
pigs, iostling aud pushing one another
through the gateway. When the last
was ~, down went the gate, and they
were all secured. The catching of the
elephants one by one was the work Of
several days. "The men ride in among
them on tame beasts, AMI put ropes
round their legs and necks, after which
the tame elephants Ding them out in
spite of all resistance, and they are
chained one by one tc trees to be trained
at leisure. They do not mind the tame
elephants mixing with them at all, even
with men on their backs, but they OBJ
iect strongly TO the men on the ground,
who have to put on the rJpes. The
clever way in which the tame elephants
help is wonderful they move close up
to the wild ones, and understand how
to put their legs so as to shield the men
from all kicks they take hold of the
wild ones legs and trunks with their
own trunks, and are invaluable"

We al have waking visions-I have mine,
And being young. and fancfful, and counted fair,
I sometimes dream Of love;
And md sitting al alone, and musing still,
II my still heart could wake to life,
How would love, aud how be lovedi
For I am weary OF fdolatry.
NV soul is faint within me while think
OF AL the fierce, strong passion
have seen ana known-resistless in its might,
As some rock-cleaving stream
would be loved in ealmness
Trusted, and not feared.
He whom love should be my king
ana not my slave.
do not ask that be be proud and cold,
But calm, and grave, and very strong;
= KING, Ike saul among the sons Of men,
He must not trrnble at my slightest froEn,
Nor shHddeF If another meets my eye:
Nor must he, liEe a vassal, crave my smile
Glad in the dust before my feet to lie
For an weary Of servility.
would not rule nor would yet be ruled
scorn the tyrant as scorn his slave
There is a love Of sweet equEity:
The love God gave and smiled upon,
For 1t was very good.
He whom love must be my king,
But must be his queen,
And he should yield me as my tribute due,
The reverence had earned.
Not only by my womanhood, but by all gentleness,
Long suffering, the patient sweetness
Only love can teach;
For looking me he should feel and know
That peace and rest should follow after toll.
In me his heart should in such safety trust
That be should have no need Of spoil.
40 not claim Tor him the worlds applause,
The blaze OF heraldy, the pomp of fame;
His deeds the annals OF nations pride,
His name upon the lips of men,
But must feel his power:
Must know he could be what earth's heroes sre:
/ could not love him were ne not great.
His hand must be both safe and strong;
A hand to shield, to trust, to lay my own within;
To stake my life upon.
A hand that might have fought with Hercules,
Yet would not harm the worm in his path
For tho the heart Of woman loveGh oft
thing she doth unwiIliugly despise,
IT is a pitlful, imperfect love, that hath not
For It's cornerstone the rock of Faith.
His heart must be most tender and true:
heart that loves, and pities, and befriends
Earth's suffering children, whether high,
Or yet among the lowly and the poor,
And he must love perfectly.
If from the first fruits Of my hearts fair wealth,
bring an Offering for a loYe-croWn made,
He must not mock me with paltry love,
Nor stoop to cheat my soul
If ever should meet such man,
This king only dream Of and never see;
Then could sit most meekly az his feet
very child before his goodness and his power
And while he stopped 70 kiss my shining hair,
Or smooth its clusters from their clinging rest;
sweet urspoken language in his touch
Would lift my dark eyes to the dark Of his,
And, as in fair Judea, when the world was young,
Sarah, with reverence, said to Abraham,
My lips would call him Lord"

Gov some AIen Have Rlsen.

Tweed began as brush maker, at
journeyman' wages. Had he remained
at his trnde and continued honest. his
native talent wo1ld have insured wealth
but he arose to a dizZv hsigh {. and
then Suddenly felt g Hank s smith .
who died IN his official career Of police
commissioned, began as q driver on the
Erie canal, aud reached at one time a
membership in the ring which gave him
(ss it was estirlated) million. OF this
but little is left. and his widow is living
in distant village. The late police
superinl leodent, Jourdan, began as a
newspaper folder in the service of the
Tribune. He was in the Office of su-
perintendent for three years, and left
an estate worth. as it is said, 500. 600.
The salary OF this Office is 81. 500. but
the facility of receiving bribes enables
the incumbent to get rich rapidly. It
has been said that Jourdan knew the
secret of the Nathan horror, and that
an enormous fee secured 8 pledge Of
immunity in favor of the guilty parties.
Another man who has risen from
poverty TO wealth is Brown, the noted
sexton of Grace church. He began
life as a carpenter, but being of porilv
turn he found the trade lahorious, and
obtained An appointment as inspector
of carriages. Next he was made sexton
Of Grace church, aud for twenty years
he has bad all the patronage Of that
rich society. He is extensively en-
ployed to manage social reunions and
receptions, in which branch he is an
adept. He has the run of all the fash
ionable young men, and many a S5
note is handed him to refresh his men,
ory when invitations are to be cireu-
lated. Such q man may assist a friend
to an entrance into a certain class of
society, if not into the best. In this
manner Brown, though occupying a
second-rate position, is in fact an auto
crat among many of the fashionable
world, at least in that which is next to
the creme de Ia creme. Instead of
showing the plane at S15 a week, he now
has country seat, and is estimated at
quarter million.
Oliver Oharlick, whois now president
of the Long Island railroad, and is
considered a millionaire, began busi- |

both money and political influence. !
Oharlick was at one time a leader in the |

oriein OF tie -BarbsrIs Pole.

To the curious in small matters, a
trihe OF antiquarian research relating TO
the ancient and honorable guild of the
BARRIERS may be worth noticing, Those
who think that bsrber's pole is painted
red, white and blue in respect to the
national colors, will please find them
selves corrected. In Mr.. J. Cordy
Jeaffreson's Bsok About Doctors, " we
hDd the following:
Lord ThurloW, IN a speech delivered
in the house of peers, July IL, 1872,
opposing the surgeons incoFDoration
bill, said that, ''By a statute still in
force, the BARRIERS and surgeons were
each to use a pole. The BARRIERS were
to have theirs blue and white striped,
with no other appendage but the sur
geons', which was the same In other
respects, was likewise to have a gallipot
AMI a red rag to denote the particular
nature of their vocation. The reason
why the surgeons pole was adorned
with line of blue, red and white, wind
ing around its length IN regular ser
pentine progression, was this The
blue represented the venous blood, the
more brilliant color the arberial, and
the white was symbolic Of the baudage
used In tying up the arm after with
drawing the igature. The stick itself
is sign that the operator possesses a
stout staff for his patients to hold, ao-
celebrating the flow of blood by the mus
cuinr action of the arm. The phlebota-
mist's staff is of great antiquity. 1t is
to be found amopgst his properties In
an illuminated missal of the time of
Edward /, and IN an engraving of the
Comment Orbis Pictus.

some New French Aphorigmg.

It is right to despise fools; it is wrong
not to fear them.
Love deseends to friendship friend
ship never scars to love.
People who iniure Us always say they
do so for our good.
Women do not like to remember ;
men do not like to forsee.
Nothing shows happiness more than
tears. Tears are the extreme smile.
An honest man never abandOns a
woman, but he knows how to make
himself forsaken.
BY their fiekieness women escape
much misery. Birds save themselves
only with their wings.
A woman never is deceived by the
love she inspires, but she deeeives her
self through that which she expert
ences.

Jim Fenton on the Parable of the
TaIaTfq

Talents.
I" don't know nothin' 'bont it, said
Jim, at the conclusion, 'but it seems
to me the man was little rough on the
feller with enc talent. Twas a mighty
small capital to start with, an he didn't
give i'm any chance TO try it over 4;
but what bothers me most is about the
mans travlin' into fur country. They
hadn't no chance to talk with i'm about
it and git his notions. 1t stan's to rea-
son that the feller with one talent would
think his master was stingy and be riled
over it.
'' You must remember, jim, that all
he needed was to ask for wisdom in or
der to receive it, /" said Mr.. Benedict.
No; the man that travelled into a
fur country stan's for the Almighty,
and he'd got out o. the way. He'd lest
gin these fellers his capital, and quit,
and left 'em to go it alone. They
couldn't go srter i'm, and he couldn't
"a hearn a word they said. BE did
what he thought was all right, and
didn't want to be bothered. I never
think about prayin' till I git into tight
place. It stan's to reason that the
Lord don't like people comm to Him
to do things that they can do them
selves. / shouldn't pray for breath I
sh'd Jest hist the winder. II I wanted
bucket O. water sh'd go for it. If a
mans got common sense, and a pair o.
hands, he hain't no business to be
botherin' other folks till he gifts into
what he can't git out Of When he's
squeezed, then in course he'll .sgueai
1t seems to me that it makes a SORT Of a
spoony OF man to be always askln' for
what he can git if he tries. II the feller
thRt only had one talent had brushed
round ne could "a made a spec on it an
had somethin' to show fur it, bat he
jest hid it. I don't stan up for I'M. /
think he was meaner nor pusly not to
make the best ont, but he didn't need
to pray for sense, for the man didn't
want i'm to use no more nor his natural
stock, and he knowed if he used that
he'd be all right"
But we are told to pray, Jim, +" said
Mr.. Balfour, sand assured that It is
pleasant to the Lord to receive our Pc
titions. We are even cold to pray for
our daily bread. "
q Well, it can't mean Jest that, for
the teller that don't work fort don't git
it, an he hadn't oughter git it. If he
don't lift his hands, but Jest sets with
his mouth open, he gifts mostly flies.
The birds, with nest full o. howling
young ones, might GO, I 'spose, pickin'
up grasshoppers till the cows come
home, an feedin' EN-, but they don't.
They jest poke 'em ont O. the nest, en-
larn 'em to fly an pick up their own
hvin' an that's what makes birds of
'em. They pray mighty hard for their
daily bread. / tell ye, and the way the
old birds nsEer is jest to poke 'em out
