An Elephant Fight.

One who has seen an elephant, like
old Hannibal for instance, would natu-
rally suppose that if the beast was in
fighting trim he could make the dust fly
in the ring. The Prince of Wales in
India was treated to an elephant fight,
and here is description of it, showing
that it was not such terrible affair al
ter all:
Now the gateways have been barred
with massive beams. The police poems,
after clearing the arena, are scuttnug
swiftly, with many demonstrations OF
terror, into the manholes. The chains
are loosed from the legs of the two
"fightine elephants" and these slowly
advance to meet each other, goaded by
men with javelins, enticed by picadors
dang ling red scarfs before each. Some
of the latter appear recklessly bold, and
run. or seem to run, narrow escapes, as
the huge beast, with raised trunk,
comes charging at them. Now the two
elephants closely confront each other,
and their tusks clash together with q
mighty bicker. Their trunks interlace
into twisted knot, their loins strain as
they push against each other for the
mastery, thor hanks heave, and the
muscles stand out under the thick hides.
Weight tells at first, and the bigger,
lighter colored brute bears back the less
massive, darker hued elephant; but the
smaller one has greater gameness, and
constantly confronts his weightier an.
,aponist The latter ignobly "cuts it, u
and, turning his pachydermatous back
round, seems in supine, langnd fash
ion to bid hisopponent "take his change
out of that" The combat now degen:
crates into farce; the smaller animal
keeps butting fitfully into the great rump
of the other, who sluggishly declines the
fray, and sustains phlegmatically good
deal of punching against the barricade
and walls from the blunt tusks of the
animal which, for forms sake, must, /
suppose, be called his antagonist. 1t is
obvious that the fight is sham, and so
the fuse-bearers advance and flare up.
The elephants clearly understand, and
act with alacrity on this signal that they
need sham to fight no more. The big
fellow stands fast among the smoke, for
he is already at his own end of the
arena; the smaller chap scuttles off in
ludicrously clumsy haste to his own cor.
ner. Again, however, they are induced
to renew the semblage of struggle, and
there is some aimless butting with fore
heads, clashing of tusks, and intertwin-
ing of trunks. But it is so evident that
the brutes understand each other that,
in the language of the P. R., the fight
is "cross," that the farce grows tedi-
Gus, and is ended by he attachment
first of clamps and then of ropes round
the hind legs of the lazy combatants, the
blazing and smoke of the fuses, and the
final tying up of the unscathed impos,

A Woman Asking to be Hanged.

A writ of habeas corpus was granted
by Judge Bingham of the common pleas
court at Columbus, Ohio, commanding
that the body of Sarah NJ. Victor, an
inmate of the penitentiary, be produced
before the court. 1t was returnable at
once.
There are some curious facts connect
ed with the case. Over seven years ago
Sarah NJ. Victor was convicted at Cleve-
land of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to be hanged. Before the
day of execution arrived, however, the
prisoner became insane, and upon being
satisfied of this fact the governor Or
dered her sentence commuted to solitary
confinement tor life in the penitentiary.
A simple certificate was therefore made
out from the court in which she was
tried consigning her to imprisonment for
life.
Now, after this long lapse of time,
comes petition claiming that the
warden OF the penitentiary has not the
proper papers or authority upon which
to hold this prisoner. 1t is claimed th' t
in committing this sentence to imprison-
ment for life, the governor should have
prepared, under his hand and the seal
of the State, papers to that effect, and
before being carried into execution the
same should have been submitted to the
prisoner to allow her to accept imprison-
meut for life in preference to hanging.
She now desires to be hanged, and
hence these proceedings have been in
stituted to declare null and void the
certificate under which she was entered
at the penitentiary. The condemned
woman is afflicted with paralysis, and
had to be carried from the penitentiary
to the court room.

Want the Land.

A curious case has occurred in the
town of Oxford, Me. In carrying out
the vote of that district, the town au-
thorities purchased lot OF land and
erected thereon schoolhouse, at an e1-
pense of some seven thousand dollars.
Afterward l. was ascertained that the
vote of the district authorizing the pur.
chase of the land and the building OF
the house was illegal, and the courts
have so decided the matter. SO the
gentleman who previously owned the lot
Comes forward and claims the land, TO-
gether With the schoolhouse that has
been erected thereon We understand
that the district will apply to the iegis-
lature for authority to hold the school
house under the Betterment act.

He Knew All About 1t.

"I suppose there are plenty of saw
mills in your State" said a man to a
party from Michigan.
"Well, I should say there was," re-
piled the Michigander. "Why, sir,
Michigan is gettin' so full of sawmills
that you can hardly meet a man over
there with more than two fingers On a
hand"
And sticking up paw on which dwelt
a lone digit as proof of his assertion, he
quietly continued: -,
"Iye shook hands with 'em myself. "

She Knows.

We fatter ourselves-ws bearded boys
That We are deep, and can conceal
All that We know, snd do, and feel
Our business sorrows and club house joys
From the innocent creatures who make oul
tea,
But believe me, cir, they can zee
Right through and through both you and me
As il your Glove or cardamon seed
Could hide your guilt in wine and weed!
All! fcolish mortal, do you suppose
That only to sniff the scent Of rose,
And not the odor that's in your clothes,
She's got that sweet little, pert little nose?
Your screen is only pane Of glass,
Through which che sees that you are-alas /!
By no means the lion you think within,
But long cared thing in lions skin.

The Man to Live Long.

He has a proper and we'll pro-
portioned stature, without, however,
beng too tall. He is rather of
puddle size and somewhat thick set.
Ills complexion is not too forid at
any rate too much ruddiness in
youth is not u sign Of longevity. His
hair approaches to tho fuir rather
than to the black. His skin is
strong but not rough. His head is
not too big his shoulders are round
rather than fit his ne;k is not too
long ; his abdomen doos not project;
his han.ls are large, but not too
deeply cleft his foot is rather thick
than long anl his legs are firm
and round: H. hes broad, archcd
chest, :. strong Voice, and the faculty
or retaining his breath for n long
time without difficulty There is
harmony in all his parts. His senses
arc Sool, but not too delicate his
pulse ID slow and regular, his
stomach is excellent, his appetite is
good and digestion easy. The Joys
OF the table alc to him Of import
ancc they tune his mind to seroni
ty, and his soul partakcs of the
pleasure which they communicate.
He does not cat merely for the sake
of eating, Lut each meal is an hour
OF daily fc5tivity. He cats slowly
and has Lot much thirst, the latter
being always Il sign Of rapid self
consumption. He is serene, loqua-
cious, active. susceptible Of Joy, love
and hope, but inscnsiblc to the i'm.
prcssions Of hatred, anger and
avari1o His passion never becomes
violent or dcstl uctivc. If he ever
gives way to anger lie exp, rie nccs
raihera useful glow Of warmth, an
artificial and gentle fever, without
an overflow of the bile. He is also
fond of employment, pal ticularly
calm meditation and agreeable
speculation. He is an optimist, a
friend to nature and domestic felici
ty. lie las no thirst after honor or.
riches, and banishcs all thought of
tr.morrOw.
