DESTRUCTION OF ELEpHANTs.-Th
destruction Of elephants in Ceylon has
been SO great for some years past, that
the supply Of these animals for work is
far below the demand, and the govern
ment has ordered that no more shall be
shot or captured at present, except to
supply its own demands. Formerly
well-trained elephants were not difficult
to purchase. many being owned by .pri-
vate persons, and still more by the re-
prcsentativcs Of the Buddhist temples,
who let them out to hire when not
wanted for religious professions; but
now none Of any value can be procured.
Their destruction used to be encour-
aged. but Of late years only .rogue
elephants who occupy for time some
particular road, putting to fight the
post-runners. and tearing open the
bags, which are abandoned to them to
divert their attention, are under ban.

The Caiifornia Climate.

-
San Franciscans make a hobby Of
their climate. They roll it as a sweet
morsel under their tongue. 1t is their
piece de resistance, in the catalogue Of
blessings. The derned place seems
shaky on her pins,,s, said citizen Just
after the great earthquake of 1868 ;
"but there's one consolation, anyhow,
we've got the best climate in the world. "
Il is climate Of strong contrasts. 1t
is eccentric; it is tantalizing it is se-
ductive. w We are piqned at its capri
cionsness, yet -it-unfits us for living
anywhere else. Summer bardens into
winter; winter is glorifed into summer.
Roses and sunny skies in January; ver-.
dureless waste, cold winds, and chilling
fogs in July, s....,..,.a
ibid you ever see such a summer
as this p said one Irishman to another.
=. - ss'No, be jabers, not since the middle
of last winter"
We cry for thick blankets while you
are sweltering in the dog-day heats
We throw open our doors and windows
while you. are covering beneath the
sharp stlngs Of winter. Not that all
days in summer are cold, and all days
in winter warm; but the general rule
is, that june. July. and August are
detestable,. and the rest of the year un-
equaled for loveliness of weather. There
are not only days, but weeks, when the
skies are indsscribably glorious The
Nile Valley is not SO sweetly balmy,
Southern Italy not SO rich in mellow
splendor, The golden sunshine per-
meates every pore, quickens every pulse
of life. The air has an indefnable soft
ness and sweetness-a tonic quality that
braces the nerves to a joyous tension,
making the very sense Of existence a
delight. The contrast of temperature
bstween summer and winter is less ap-
parent than real. The remarkable
of the climate will appear
from the following: In June. 1874. the
highest thermometer was $40, the low
est. $50; in January Of the same year,
the highest was 500, ,Ahe lowest, $40. |
In December, the range was between
500 and 52o lin August it was between
$50 and 60o-Samnel Williams i
