An Elephants Gratitude.

We all know the nursery story Of
the tailor who pinched the elephants
trnnk vixen that Intelligent animal
was soliciting sweets through Ships
open easement, and how the wise beast
on returning the same route soon
afterward, regaled, the tailor with a
shower of muddy water she had care
fully sucked up from the roadside,
just to show that she bore
him so no special i'll, but that two
could ply joking; but according to
note in the Hereford Times ele-
plants can be grateful as we'll as Wind
lctive. Some weeks ago Bostock and
Wombwell's Menagerie again visited
Tenbury. Ont will remember the
elephant Lizzie's wonderful recogni-
ton of Mr.. Tinley. chemist, of Teme
Street, when on a visit to that town
about two years. since. The animal
then went out of the procession to
greet him at his shop door, remember
ing as her deliverer from intense pain
caused by an attack of collie, brought
on through drinking cold water when
journeying to Tenbury on a previous
visit, Mr.. Tinley, on visiting the
menagerie the other evening, was
again at once seen and recognized by
Lizzie, who embraced him with her
trunk in such manner as to cause
some alarm to her keepers, but an af-
feetlonate hug for her preserver was
all the poor creature intended. Doubt
less her remembrance of her friend
will never be effaced, since this is the
second time she has greeted Mr.. Tinley
in such a startling manner.

An Old Story.

When Davy Crockett was in Wash
ington he was one day sitting in ho-
tel toasting his shins when a senator
from Massachusetts, entered.
Approaching the old frontiersman
the later said:
"Crockett, a large procession of
your constituents are marching up
the street. You ought to go out and
greet them"
Crockett hurriedly arose and went
out upon the hotel steps, when large
drove Of mules passing by caught his
eve. He quietly watched them until
the last one had passed and then re-
turned to his seat by the stove. The
Massachusetts senator still there, and
as the redoubtable Davy dropped into
his chair, asked:
Swell, did you see your friend?o
"Oh, yes" was the response.
"They look remarkably we'll, too"
Certainly, SIR,
Crockett turned to the senator With.
a quiet, calm expression, and replied:
The blamed fools are all going
down to Massachusetts, to teach school,"
And they gazed a moment into each
others fac:s and sadly walked up to
exercise the bar keeper awhile.

an occasion, for which Loudoun hat
been eagerly longing, and he deter
mined to avail himself Of it.
The moon was shining brightly, and
its bright rays bursting here and
there through the thick clusters ot
overhanging boughs that shaded the
solitary walk, danced in silvery
streams athwart their pathway, as il
desirous to penetrate the secrets, that
those two youthful hearts were whis.
pering to each other.
We do not know what they said.
No two couples ever talk love in like
manner. But we do know, that Miss
Lou was blushing deeply as they
emerged from the shade of the trees,
and leaned more heavily and confid-
ingly on the. arm of her escort, and
Loudoun's step was frmer and more
elastic than usual, and his manly
countenance beamed with smile of
pleasant satisfaction and radiant joy.

BY LOSTOW.

OF course, all the guests knew some
thing about the coronation ceremony,
but few understood definitely what it
was to be.
Col. Spalding, having advanced to
the platform, introduced to the as
sembIed guests Mr.. Edward Loudoun,
OF Virginia, and added:
This is rather an extraordinary
way. ladies and gentlemen. Of inaugu-
rating = social party. But the fact
is. that the whole affair is so novel,
and withal so unique, that | con
cluded to humor the innocent whim
of our young people, even at the risk
Of being criticised for my oddity.
"Before the beginning Of the race
which took place last month at Kin
derhook, Mr.. Lester here, who besides
being a relation, is cherished. init
mate and dear friend of my family, in
bantering my daughter Louisa about
the race, requested her TO bestow on
him or his friend, Mr.. Loudoun, pro
vided either won the race, the Grim
son scarf. which she wore on the oc-
casion. She didn't say mo- to the
request, and as silence is supposed to
imply consent, they are now holding
her to her agreement.
"And as | desired to introduce Mr..
Loudoun, who halls from our sister
State Of Virginia, to my friends in
Charles county,, thought | would in.
dulge the fancy of the young people,
and allow their coronation ceremony,

A Ministers s Cow.

An exchange tells this droll story
of u clergyman's experiment and how
it ended:
Some Years ago there lived in Cen,
tral New York il very worthy and re.
spectacle divine known as Father
Goss. He had IA hired man named
Isaac, who always obeyed orders with.
out question.
Father Goss bought COW one day
which proved refractory when milked
refusing to surrender the lacteal
fluid, although Isaac used all the per,
suasive arts of which he was master.
He finally reported her delinquencies
TO his master.
"Well, Isaac" said he "go to the
barn and get those pieces of new rope. "
Isaac obeyed; the COW was driven
into the stable, tied with piece of the
rope, when the Rev. come out, armed
with a knife.
"Now," he exclaimed to Isaac, 81
will get on the cows back and you
tie my feet beneath her, then you 60
on with your milking, and with my
weight on her back she must give
down her milk"
Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied,
the pail got and milking commenced.
But bossy objected, and plunged
wildly about. The stable was low,
and the Rev's head was fearfully
thumped. ooh, Isaac, Isaac" bawled
he, ''cut the rope"
Isaac seized the knife and cut-not
the rope which tied the masters feet
but the one that tied the COW. The
stable gate was open, also the yard
gate.
Away darted the frantic cow, the
terrified man on her back, helplessly
roaring: "Stop her, stop her!"
While madly careering down the
road he met a parishoner, who excit-
edly called: "Why Mr.. Goss, where
are you going::"
"Only God and this COW knows!"
groaned he; 81 don't"

A Troublesome Invention.
{ To 5e continued.

We have no words to blame for Mr.
! Bottlewasher. He meant we'll. He
got sick wading through the mud on
crossings, and so he invented his
/ street crosser. 1t was a tremendous
spring located in the toe of each Of a
pair of overshoes. When the wearer
stepped his foot down fiat it didn't
work, but when he arose on tip-toe
THE spring jumped him clear across
the street, Mr.. Bottlewasher started
out to try the invention. The first
attempt he made was at Park Square,
aud the spring wasn't strong enough
to clear it, but set him down with
great violence square in nbble, and
he got badly splattered.
But he wasn't discouraged. He
tried it on Bromfield street, which is
narrow. That time the spring seemed
to have more force, for it shot him
clear across the street and through the
open door of an eating-house, and he
come IN such violent contract with a
man who set with his back to the door,
that both he and the table went over
and both gentleman were mixed up
with the dinner on the floor. The up
set man had to be held while things
were explained, and even then said
that if it was tired again somebody
would get hurt. Then Bottlewasher
went out and tried the thing on Ire
mont street, and that time he just
cleared the street and upset fat man
on the side where iae alighted.
The fas man proposed to club him,
and could with difficulty be pacified.
This broke Bottlewasher's heart and
he took off the overshoes and gave them
to Couat Fondowhiski, an Italian no
bleman, who collects bottles, RACES etc.,
about the street. Mr.. Bottlewasher
did'n explain the invention to the
count, who put on the overshoes. He
started of, and coming TO crossing
proposed TO tlp-toe across. AS he was
STOPPING over, with his pack on his
back, the result was that he was not
/ jumped across the street, but sent
across by seven someIsaults and ten
hand-sprlngs, while IN the air was just
filled with bottles, rags, ETC., from his
pack.
lie threw six people and a dog when
he reached the sidewalk. A police
man grabbed him and lifted him up
on tip-toe. The spring worked, and
both were hurled into the mud and
got their mouths full Of it. The
officer got him to the station at last,
but had hard time of it; and two
jailors, trying to get him down stairs,
got him there and themselves, too, in
sudden order. Then they discovered
v hat the matter was. The count was
released, and has sworn vendetta
against Mr.. Bottlewasher, and when
he gets well will see that gentleman.
