DR.. Lvingytou tells us, in his trsy-
els, that once when be and his psrtv
came TO beautiful valley, he wander
ed away from the natives, who were
busy cutting up IN elephant that had
been killed the day before. Looking
through his glass. hs saw distinctly, st
the end of the valley, about two miles
of, . great mother elephant playing
with its baby. The little thing was
rolling in the mud in o state of great
glse, and would jump up and frisk
about her mother much in the same
way kitten would round cat; and
the old mother enjoyed the fun quite
~ much ~ the baby did. Poor things,
they did not know that they were hsv-
ing their last gambol.
1t 20 happened that On that morning.
some Of the Africans belonging IN DR..
Livingstone's party had gone OF again
elephant hunting. and. just wien the
mother wss wagging her tail aud Asp-
ping her ears in the excitement of the
game. both animals heard q noise
which made them stand still, and ex.
psnd their ears to listen. II was the
hunters. blowing through tubes to at
tract their attention. and shouting loud
ly:-

yours if anything frightsnd you. And
what would your mother do. Throw
her arms around you. and assnre you
that no one should hurt you. And so
this mother threw her trunk around
her child. and stood between it and
their enemies. Then came q shower of
sharp jsvelins. which covered her sides
with blood, and made her fee for her
life. even forgetting her baby in the
terrible pain. So the poor little one
was easily shot to death; and then the
mother. with . piercing shrek. turned
and charged ber pursuers. But it was
easy for the nimble natives to escape,
while the poor animal got weaker and
weaker from loss Of blood. for fresh
showers Of spears came. till ct last she
reeled. and fell down dead.

The New York Tribune says tina. Sir
Hugh Allen. after spending three weeks
there looking for suitable terminal
facilities for bis line of ocean -stes lners,
concluded that what hs wanted wa
not to be obtained ct that port, and
began to look in other directions. HI

third street, and merchants wsuld sb-
jcct hauling their 60 DDS 90 far up town
He WAS offered pier ON the East river
but he found that was also incon vsnient
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston
offered him wharfage free, aud would
charge him nothing for hArbor dues.
These items, he says. he found very
large in New York; for instance; $50.
600 year for the use of pier. and thl
extra expense for building sheds 70,
the protection of freight and the sppli.
sncss for hsudling It would b still
greater tax, which would not bs incon.
siderable. When Sir Hugh Allen Va,
last in New York, he said be was about
decided to sccept the offer from Phila.

vessels bad already sailed. Our cou.
temporary makes strong complaint oi
the extortionate charges which thua
drive trade away 10 rival ports.

Poor Relations.

A certain class of rich folk not only

for being poor. Why they were ever

they are shown . certain amount of
pity. they are made 10 feel how much
better the world would get on without
them. A punishment. they are annu.
ally tortured ia the mansions of their
luckier relatives. In the civilized Gen.
tury, instead Of being consigned 10 dun
geons, the domestic culprits are sent up
into garrets; instead Of being thrown
among snakes and toads. they are invi-
ted TO meet their hosts most disagrses-
BILE scqusiatances. They must meekly
submit 10 being pstronized, and Per-
petuAlly cat humble pie. Poor relstio ns
are thorns in the side of purse-proud

OPIUM AND RUN,

II has been charged by those opposed
TO the Maine liquor law that the practice
Of opium.eating has increased enormously
in Maine, aud that more morphine Is
sold there than iu any other State In tho
Union, in proportion to its population.
Neal Dow. OF Portland, cmphaticaly dc.
mes the statement, nrg1ns - nroof oils
absurdity, that drinkers of alcohol never
resort to opium as a substitute. In ref.
erence also to the charge that tho Maine
law Is driving much business out of the
state, he speaks as follows:
In 1866, half Portland was burned
down, destroying $l0,0o0,OOO, and, not.
withstanding that, our valuation has been
constantly increasing, while the value OF
New York has run down $l2 300, 900 the
last year, and 100000, 900 In the last five
years The valuation Of Boston ran
down, also, more than $1,000, 900 the last
year. Free rum In New York and Bos.
ton; but the valuation of ofPortland, under
prohibition TO the grog shops, increased
$3.50, 900 the last year, aud business here
now is as good as at any time in the his.
tory OF the town. Every year wc save
more than s12, 100000, which would be
wasted in run but for the Maine law.
After the experience of the result of pro.
hibition III Maine Of more than 26 years,
the Maine law is now supported by both
political parties, and by an oyerwhelm-
ing public opinion. AT the last session
Of our Legislature, January, 1871, an adj
ditional act, Of greater stringency than
any which preceded II, was passed with
ont a dissenting voice In either House,
and is thoroughly supported by the popu-
lar voice. This would be impossible,
were The results Of prohibition other than
favorable to the highest interests OF the
state and people.

Of high character and fair fortune,
thought IL was lucky chance for the
young lady TO escape from q life OF such
isolation, and be willingly persuaded the
girls mother Cher father was dead) to
consent TO the match, but the young lady
herself was not to be persuaded. She ar
gned that shc had never spoken 10 the
young man who expressed such desire
10 be her husband, aud only seen him
twice, and he had been on the island only
forty-cight days, but her objections being
oyerruled, tho marriage took place.
After living in Alaska tor several months,
the young man brought bis bride to bis
homo in Cleveland, o. She was aston
ished at the fashions she saw, aud de-
olared that nothing would induce her TO
wear her hair otherwise than flowing las
she bad always worn II. But before
twenty-four hours had passed her mother.
in law bad persuaded her to try the effect
OF braids around her broad and shapely
head and now abe dresses as much In
the fashions as any lady in Cleveland.
Last year her husband went TO Alaska
again and brought home the young sister,
who is eleven years of age, aud promises
to be as beautiful as the elder The
mother, bereft Of both her children, still

The cricket did so, and the wasp i'm
