An Elephant,s Revenge.
[Chambers' journal.


The Rev. Mr.. Watson gives very curious
story In illustration of this animals won
derful long memory of wrong suffered.
One of those pests Of society, ga practical
joker," visited caravan In West of Eng
land Fair and tried his stupid tricks upon
an elephant there. He first doled out to 1t,
one by one, some gingerbread nuts, and
when the grateful animal was thrown of its
guard, he suddenly profered it large par
eel wrapped in paper. The unsuspicious
creature accepted and swallowed the lump,
but Immediately began to exhibit signs OF
intense suffering, and snatching up bucket
handed it to the keeper ior water This be-
ing given to It, 1t eagerly swallowed quanti-
ties of the fluid "Hao cried the delighted
Joker, 81 guess those nuts were trihe hot,
old fellow "You had better be of, u
exclaimed the keeper, "unless you wish the
bucket at your head The fool took the
hint only Just in time, for the enraged ami
NAL, having finished the sixth bueketful,
hurled the bucket after its tormentor with
such force that had he fingered a moment
longer his life might have been forfeited.
| The affair had not, however, yet concluded.
| The following year the show revisited the
same town, and the foolish joker, like men
OF his genus, unable to profit by experience
| thought to repeat his stupid trick on the
1 elephant. He took two lots of nuts into the
show with him-sweet nuts in one pocket
and hot in the other. The elephant had moi
forgotten the jest played upon him, and
| therefore accepted the cakes cautiously. Al
last the joker proffered hot one but nc
sooner had the injured creature discovered
its pnngency than 1t seized hold of its per
secutor by the coat-tails, hoisted him up BY
them and held him until they gave way
| when he fell to the ground. The elephant
| now inspected the severed coat-tails, which
| after he had discovered and eaten all tn.
sweet nuts, he tore TO rags and flung ate
their discounted owner.

Salary for the Season OF 1889.

sulnR the Snowman ~. Recover Her
Salary for the Season OF 1889.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.--Louise Mon
tague, Forepaugh's $4,000 beauty, insisted
on being transported from town TO town in
section of parlor car. Adam Forepaugh
refused 10 consent to any such arrangement.
She consequently refused TO travel with
Mr.. Forepaugh's show, and instituted suit
to recover her salary for every week the
show journeyed through the country in
1882. The trial began to-day be-
fore Judge Pierce. Mr.. Shakespeare,
one of Miss Montague's legal advisers, led
silk dress, dark kid gloves, sealskin dol
man, jaunty hat smothered In black
ostrich feathers, and pair of handsome
diamond earrings. Her beauty he'd a
marked effect on the susceptible young
lawyers who filed the space inside the
bar railing. The leopard boy Dawson
the tattooed sailor j. G.. Rice of woolly horse
fame, and several other notahles were in one
corner of the room. Richard P. White ap-
peared for Mr.. Forepaugh. The beauty's
real name is Laura 8. Kieser, and she is the
wife Of Paul Kieser, known in the variety
business as Paul Allen. She was perfectly
self-possessed.
After being sworn she was allowed TO cit
near her lawyers. She told how, in 1881
Mr.. Forepaugh advertised that he would
give prize OF SIC, 900 for the most beauti-
full woman he could secure to ride an eIe-
phant and impersonate Ldlla Rookh In the
street pageant of his show. She applied,
and was engaged at a salary of 500 week.
She remained with the circus during, the
season of 1881, and contracted to fiji the
same position In 1882 for SIS a
week. She. says that Mr.. Fore
paugh contracted to give ber a
separate Hoom In the parlor car
when the company Travelled. In the spring
Of 1882 she went to the winter quarters and
Mr. Forepaugh Informed her that she would
have to travel In state room with a number
of other women. She declined to room
with anyone, because 1t was not according
to contract. Mr.. FoTepaugh then told her
that he didn't want her, as he bad another
beauty In her place for SIS week.
"Did not Mr.. Forepaugh tell you that you
would have to room with Miss REM, per-
former, who received $500 a week2'' Mr..
White asked on the cross-examination.
'No, SIR" replied Miss Montague very
emphatically. She admitted, however, that
during the season of 1881 she had occupied
stateroom with two or three women per-
formers.
Mr.. White paused, stroked his beard
thoughtfully moment or two, and then in
quiet tones, said ''Miss Montague, when
Mr.. Forepaugh informed you that he had
changed the interior of the sleeping cars,
and that you would hare to room with Miss
REM, didn't you reply, 'T'll see you damned
flrst?'''
"Sirl" retorted the beauty, fiaring up.
The lawyer repeated the question with great
composure, aud she answered: "No, sir;
never use such language"
Mr.. Shakespeare revived her with a glass
Of water, and she continued ON the stand
until 4 p. M, when court adjourned.

AFTER A COVETED PLACE.
Republicans Said to be Again working
for the Collectors once.

It is said that efforts are being made by the
Republican politicians of Delaware to secure
the appointment of another person In place of
Rev. James Mcintyre Of this town, as Collector
Of Internal Revenue for the district composed
of that State and the Eastern Shore counties Of
Maryland and Virginia.
The above item has been going the
rounds of the Eastern Shore papers for
some days past, having been originated in
Baltimore, and although 1t is similar to
many announcements made during the last
two or three years, 1t is suspicioned by poll
ticians in this city that the Dover Junta Ia
at its old game again, which hitherto has
been so barren of results, Repeated efforts
have been made to secure the removal OF
Mr.. Mcintyre and the appointment of Col.
Jim Lofand In his stead, but SO far they
have been unable to trump up any cause,
and utterly lacking in Influence to pit
against Mr.. McIntyre's strength in Wash
ington which lies chiefly in ex-Postmastel
General Cresswell.
1t is stated that chairman Harrington has
been In Washington for some days past.

WAITING FoK THE oRAvE-D1ocER
A Funeral Delayed While - Grave Is Dug
In tho Frozen Ground.

III Ln6 FROZEN GrOuM0.
PITTsBURG, PA, February 3.-The funeral
of Mrs. Annie Biemiller, whose husband
was accused of neglect and cruelty, took
place Friday. In the carriage behind the
hearse rode the husband attended by an
officer. The procession proceeded to Union
dale Cemetery, and having driven to spot
near the new Brighton road, halted.
An attendant at the cemetery came to
Biemiller's carriage and whispered q few
words in the officers ear. Biemiller then
attempted to get out. "Hold on" said the
officer, "don't get out yet. The grave isn't
dug" 1t was then learned that by some
oversight no grave had been prepared, and
as 1t would take a long time to dig
one, owing to the frost la the ground,
the coffin was laid upon the ground. Bic
miller seemed much affected at the manner
In which the funeral was conducted. IT
promised my wife" said he, with tears In
his eyes, "that would give her decent
burial, and they put her In plain box and
left her alone in the cemetery without any
one to care for her. ! would have bought
good coffin for her and buried her de-
Gently. 81 tell you what" he suddenly ex-
claimed, his eyes flashing, "I'lI have her out
of there yet and bury her decent"
Major Hummer, of the Poor Board, said
that he sent an order to the cemetery office
to prepare grave, and he was not able to
say why the order had not been filed.
