IN ELEPHANT STORRo

The elephant seemed to get tired first,
and just as the first streak Of dawn be
gan to show itself in the sky he turned
and walked leisurely away. For min
ute or two I heard him crashing among
the thickets, and then all was quiet
again, as if he'd gone right away.
"Now," thought, "is my time to de-
camp, too, and down the tree slipped
as nimbly as an acrobat. But I soon
found I had been reckoning without nay
host, for L had hardly touched the
ground when there came a crash like
fifty mad bulls charging through as
many glass houses, and out from the
thicllet, with his great white tusks
leveled at me like bayonets, came nay
friend the elephant, VINO had been OF
the watch for me all the time.
Whether I should have 1un or stood
~ ground, and how [ should have farea
III either case, can never be known now.
f2r just at that moment my foot slipped
and down I came, close to the tree. The
next moment there was a crash as Il
two trains had run into each other, and
made sure that was knocked into 81
hundred pieces at least, and that it was
all up with me.
soon became aware, however. thai I
was still alive and sound, while a shrill,
frightened cry overhead told me plainly
that 1t was the elephant who had got The
worst of it this time. 1 scrambled to BY
feet gingerly enough, for the brute's
great fore-legs were stamping and pound
ing like steam hammers within arms
length Of me-, and there I saw a sight
which, scared as ! was, made me laugh
till I could hardly stand.
had fallen just in time to escape the
blows OF the elephants tusks, which had
stuck themselves 50 deep into the tree
that he could not pull them out again,
and there he was, hard and fast, like d
ship run aground. The animals look Of
disgust and bewilderment at finding
himself in such a fix WIS as good as &
play to behold; bat just then I was il
no humor to stop and admire it, for
knew that he might break loose yet, and
that if he did it would be all up with
me. Ny first impulse was to take to nay
heels at once, but the next moment
thought better of it, and decided to set
tie Mr.. Elephant instead. I quickly
picked up and reloaded my gun, which
had luckily escaped his notice, or he
wo1ld have trampled it to bits, and,
scrambling into the tree again, sent a
bullet into his forehead, which did its
business, and left him standing bolt up
right in a very picturesque attitude in
deed.

small volume which has just appeared from

production of this sketch, has compiled from
the scanty literature existing on the history of
Madagascar decidedly instructive and enter

sy ENJOYS to this country, and the more re-
cent attack of a French man-of-wa upon
Taamatave, have directed attention to the
island and there is general desire to learn
more of the country than is usually found in
Biographies or universal histories. The in
troductory chapter of the book is devoted to
a history of the island from the time of Mar
co Polo to the early part of the present cen
fury, and as it is intimately connected with
| the exploits of Nilsson, Tew, Kidd, and other
notorious freebooters, there is no lack of 70.

j. Frank Baxter, the Spiritualist lecture r
who was exposed in one of his great" feats
few years ago, has been caught again. In
New York state, few days ago, in going
from one town to another, he left at the no
tel package containing some so obituary
notices of parties late of that town, and of
towns in which he was to give talks with the
departed ones. A little comparison of notes
the notices was used in his seance the night
before. The faithful said that it was a trick
by his enemies, but their faith was shaken
when he returned in hot haste to get the nee
essary material for his next seance.
