Furnishing an Elephant.

TRUNK OF ONE OF TIE CENTRAL
PARK ANIMALS.
NEw YORK, March 14.-Emperor i.
the most vicious, as he is tie finest
elephant in this country. During the
winter months he and bis six compan
ions arc chained by their hind legs in
an outbuilding in the Central Park
Boatswain, until the arrival of En-
peror, was the pride of all the female
elephants, and Gypsy especially loved
to caress him with her gentle trunk.
But Boatswain once cried out under
punishment aud from that hour he
lost his place in the respect Of his as
sociates, and Gypsy transferred her
Establishments to the last conner.
The device OF circus men for pun
ishing an elephant is cruel. To the
legs of the animal are fastened strong
pulleys, which are attached to levers.
AT Il signal the legs are drawn asun-
der and the animal sinks down, a mass
of helpless, tortured flesh. Then the
keepers, armed with long clubs, ap-
proach and beat hIm on the legs and
bottoms Of the feet. The elephant
during punishment cur!s his trunk
beneath him and closes his eyes,
Hour after hour goes by sometimes,
but the keepers only relax when The
elephant either becomes insensible or
cries out, which latter is token Of
submission and a conquered spirit
BOatswain cried our and WAS never
again guilty Of otfense, Emperor,
however, has stood this terrible pun
ishment several times ard with such
eXtraors ary l.eive that his keepers
are afraid OF him. He is vicious, and
whenever missile comes within his
reach he discharges it at the nearest
keeper straightway.
On Monday night Emperor watched
one of the attendants whom he par
ticularly disIikes. 1t was bedtime.
and the man was making everything
snug when Emperor turned on him
and Knocked him down. The keeper
screamed, as Emperor. with shriIl
cry of rage, was on The point of drag
ging him beneath his feet and stamp
nun ~ bStllu. StlI(t
the keeper was saved, and then it was
determined that Emperor should suf-
fer for what he had done.
The attendants took the long iron
poker with which the fires are stirred,
and this they heated red hot Empe-
ror was then bound in the fashion that
has been described, and while one Of
the keepers held his trunk the other
ran the rcd hot poker up into it. The
savage punishment nearly blinded
Emperor, bot he did not squeal He
looked sullenly all the time at his
keepers. Since then the elephant has
been unable to eat, and stands alone
and sullen, slapping his horribly mutt
lated trunk wherever there is a cool
spot in the shed. The men call this
extreme punishment, and said shat it
has never bcen-applicd before in this
country. 1t was not strong enough to
subGue Emperor.

A Thrilling Adventure.

A merchant wishing to celebrate his
daughters Wedding, collected q party
of her young companions. They cir.
cled around her, wishing much happi-
ness to the youthful bride and her
chosen one. The father gazed proudly
on his favored child, and hoped that as
bright prospects might open for the
rest of his children, who were playing
among the guests. ~
Passing through the hall of the base.
ment he met q servant who was carrying
lighted candle in her hand without
the, candlestick. He blamed her for
such conduct, and went into the kitchen
to see about the supper. The girl re
turned, but without the candle. The
merchant Immediately recollected that
several barrels of gunpowder had been
placed in the cellar during the day, and
that one had been opened.
"Where is your candle?' he in
quired, in the utmost alarm. oe.
couldn't bring it up with me, for
my arms were full of wood" said the
girl. u, I
Where did you put it?"
Well. I'd no candlestick, 80 I stuck
il in some black sand that's in the sand
barrel" |..
Her master dashed down the stairs |;
the passage was long and dark /; his
knees threatened to give away under
him, his breath was choked his flesh
seemed dry and parched, as if he al
ready felt the suffocating blast OF death.
At the end of the cellar, under the very
xryhArn HE n1x.I1-axS &hasS
friends were reveling in felicity, he saw
the open barrel of powder, full to the
top, the candle stuck loosely in the
grains, with long red snuff of burnt
wick. The sight seemed to wither all
his power. The laughter of the COM
pany struck his ear like the knell of
death. He stood a moment, unable to
move.
The music commenced above the
feet of tho dancers responded with vi
vacity the floor shook, and the loose
bottles in the cellar jingled with the
motion. He fancied the candle was
moving falling. With desperate en-
ergy he sprang forward-but how to
remove it. The slightest touch would
cause the red-hot wick to fall into the
powder. With unequaled presence OF
mind he placed hand on each side of
the candle, pointed toward the object
of care, which, as his hands met, was
secured in the clasp of his fingers and
safely moved away from its dangerous
position. When he reached the head
of the stairs he smiled at his previous
alarm but the reaction was too pow
erful, and he fell in fits of the most
violent laughter. He was conveyed to
his bed senseless, and many weeks
elapsed ere his system recovered suffi-
cient tone to allow him to resume his
business.

on group of ragpickers cluster round

or six of them, men and women. The
women wear frowsy gowns, and their
heads are wrapped in bandages that
once were hankerchiefs. In their
hands are the brooms with which they
have been sweeping the cutters. Each
man bends under the weight of huge
basket, stuffed full of rags and refuse
paper, crusts of bread, bottles-the
nights harvest.

mates move off to their wretched

How lovely the city looks at this fresh

can note its beauty. Now the sun is
fairly above the horizon. The city is
