TIE BIa0Esr NOT THE BRAvEsT.-

THE BIGGEST NOT THE BRAvEsT.-
II is the first battle that tells the brave.
ry of the soldier. Many think before
the battle that nothing can frighten
them. When it begins they are panic
stricken and disgrace themselves ~
cowardice. Col. Chester, OF Connects
cut. who commanded company Il
townsmen at Bunker Hill. used TO tell a
good story of two OF his soldiers in that
battle. A large and powerful man
standing by the side of pale-faced
youth Of slender figure, said to the COM
rade:
Man. You had better retire before
the fight begins. You will faint away
when the bullets begis to whiz around
your head
The pale stripping replied;
# don's know but I shall. as l never
heard one. but l will stay and see.'
He d. stay, and was seen by Colonel
Chester during the battle, calm and hrIn,
loading and firing with great Goodness.
But the burly giant by his side was
missing. and at the retreat was iound
alive and unharmed, secreted under
hay cock. Boastful words anil moral
courage to face any danger rarely go

Furnishing an Elephant.

Emperor is the most vicious as wei

During the winter months he and his
six companions are chained by their
hind legs in an out building 10 the Cen

of all the female elephants and Gypsy
especially loyed to caress h,n, With her
gentle trunk. But Boatswain o.ce cri-
ed our under punishment and from thai
hour he lost his place in the respect of
associates, and Gipsy transferred her
Establishments to the last conner. The
device ofcircus men for punlshing an
elephant is cruel. To the legs of an
animal are fastened strong pulleys.
which are attached to levers. At sig.
nal the legs are drawn asunder, and
the animal sinks down mass of help
less tortur flesh Then the keepers
armed with long clubs. approach and
beat him on the legs and bottom Of the
feet. The elephant, during punishment
rurls his trunk beneath him and closes
ms eyes. Hour after hour goes by some
times. but the keepers only relax when
the elephant either becomes insensible
or cries out. which latter ia a token of
submission and conquered spirit.
Boatswain cried out, and was never
again guilty Of offence. Emperor.
however has stood this terrible punish.

ordinary nerve that the keepers are
afraid ofhim. He is vicious. and when
ever missile comes within his reach he
discharges it at the nearest keeper

beneath his feet and stamping him
to death. Help cam. and the keep

what he had done The attendants
took the long iron poker with which
the fires are stirred, and this they heat

down in the fashion that has bean de-
scribed, and while one Of the keepers
held his trunk The other ran the red hot
poker spit. The savage punishment
nearly blinded Emperor. but he did not
soueal. lie looked sullenly all the
time at his keepers. Since then the ell.
ephant has been unable to eat, and
stands alone and sullen, slapping his
horribly muulated trunk wherever there
is a cool spot in the shed. The men
call this the extreme punishment. and
sly that Il has never been applied be-
fore in this country. 1t was not strong
enough to subdue Emperor.
