Queer Elephants.

Ctesias, the Cnidian, who lived A. D.
$50, reported that the elephant has no
joints, that consequently it is unable to
lie down, and is in the habit of sleeping
as it rests against tree in its native
forest. This popularity, he stated, is
taken advantage of by the hunters, who
cut down the trees whereupon the huge
beast rolls helplessly over on its back,
and is easily captured or dispatched.
The real facts are that elephants often
sleep standing, and that the wilder
ones seldom lie down. Yet tame ele-
plants as often sleep lying as standing.
Christophous Costa declared that ele-
plants have been known to speak, and
this question is one which even Sir
Thomas Browne never ventured to con-
tradict-he thought it might be posi-

ming Of enjoyment was had. in the four
rooms Of the brick block. The glowing
face Of our host and hostess beamed out
the full measure Of hearty welcome.
Friday Of the present week, afternoon
and evening, a donation visit will be made
to our pastor. As IL Is the first Of the
kind during his 0 years pastorate a "wide

family have bourne for the past three
years.
Next Tuesday evening, the ladies L. f.
T. society met at the house OF Mrs. r.
French. A play called "a love Of bon.
Dett, - will be presented.
The family horse OF e. II. Cowles was
drowned in Grand River by breaking
through the ice. She horse was not with

ful animal which bore the late Lewis D.
Cowles, to the we'll remembered singing
schools, fresh in the minds OF your older
readers, and the grandmother Of the same
animal had the honor OF being rode by the
Rev. GILES II. Cowles, OF Pioneer memory.

There died recently in Windsor an ec-
centric old man nemed James Christy.
He was worth property, principally in
notes, secured by MORTGAGES, valued at
fully $4,000. His death, or rather pro-
vision in his will has brought him quite
prominently before the public. The fol-
lowing clause Is in bis will:

In addition 10 the above he made two or
three bpquests 10 some relatives, all

township near the corner Of Windsor. He
bought Il large tract Of land, and cleared
up much Of il and sold several farms. and
thereby began his money making. lie
loaned his money on long time, collecting
his interest carefully, and while be never
gave anything TO his debtors he was al
ways patient with them. He lived by
himself in the most frugal manner. He
frequently said that a man could live on
40 cents a week, and no doubt he did.
For the past ten or twelve years he has
lived in the North part OF Windsor. lie
had a small house comfortably fixed up,
and.a good barn. With all his oloseness
and beggarly ways OF living he was very
careless aboud that which he produced on
his farm. Sometimes he would let his
corn, wheat or hay absolutely 20 to ruin.
All the furniture in his house was not
worth IS.
He WAS man Of fair education, good
penman, fine in mathematics and compe-

was remarkable, and to those whom he
talked with he was quite interesting.
AT one time in middle life he Was to

affair was broken of, and ne continued to

tributed quite literally to the churches at

was absolutely good.

Mr.. Warren B. Bateman hiss been badg-
cred about The Chicago bills paid by Gov
ernOr Foster, until he steps to the front
and tells the whole story. It seems that
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Nichol was the auditor Of
Sherman's accounts, and that Governor
Foster and Cleveland gentleman named
Everett assumed the payment OF certain
bills, which they thought under the cir
cumstances should not be paid out OF
Shermsn's money. While Bateman WAS
asleep. Bateman being told by Nichol
what had happened, "thonght Foster
and Everett were doing generous and
delicate thing in behalf Of the friends Of
Garfield, which would at the same time
put them ON favorable footing in the
new order Of things" but he does not
seem to have expected to find the bills
flung at Sherman as IL those who paid
them had right to reproaah him. Secre-
tary Sherman says: ''SOme days after
the nomination he was advised by Mr..
Bateman that some OF the delegates had
voluntarily assumed portion Of the gem
eral expenses, and that all the bills were
settled, and Mr.. Bateman returned con-
siderable sum which he had left" And
that Is all that Sherman knew about it.

very pleasant time at their Camp Fire on
Tues day evening. Each member was in
vited TO bring his wife, or, il not fortu-
nate euoLgh TO possess wife, one of his
Sisters, or his Cousins, or his Aunts. The
evening passed pleasantly with eating and
singing, aud speech making May they
haYe many happy returns.
Having noticed several formidable look.
ing boxes, being unloaded in front Of Bar
tons store during the past week, yankee
curl Osity to know what they contained,
induced me TO step inside on Saturday
evening" and beheld an array of holiday
goods, that would bring tears to the eyes,
and money from the pocket OF the most
hardened husband and father in town.
Juvenile books and toys for the children;
handsome bottles of perfumery, boxes of
stationery, handkerchefs, &C., for the
older ones, in such profusion as would do
credit to much larger town. While
1T Ood gazing at the alluring display, felt
like saying with SHAKESPEARE,
Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
II you want some Christmas presents
I'll tell you where to go.
Barton Bros have them
And sell them very low,
And every where that Mary went.
The lamb was sure to go.
Speaking Of the Bartons, reminds me
that the Senior, A. NJ, met with quite an
accident on Thursday evening last. Hay-
ing occasion to step into the back room Of
the store after dark, and going without a
lamp, he stepped through a trap-door that
had been left open without his knowledge
and landed on cider barrel in the cellar,
hurting his side quite badly, and receiv-
ing some other bruises. Another exem-
plification Of the old adAge, that "pride
must have = fall" The story that he was
dra wing cider through a long straw and
lost his balance. is false.
The Baptist social this week, is to be
cid at the residence of Mr. A. B, Luce /;
