Yesterday the experts Of the United

upon to tackle q somewhat curious pug
zle in the matter Of suspected coin. The
pecuniary Sphinx presented Its riddle
in the form Of "daddy's" dollar which
had been thrown out at one OF the city
banks as spurious. The rejected dollar
was first measured and weighed by the
coiner, and was found to he Of the prop
er gauge and Of full weight, showing
even an excess Of two grains over the
standard. 1t was perfectly executed,
and had the right metallic ring. The
color, however, was against It. In.
stead of the silvery hue q new dollar
should have, it looked like nickel dol
lar. Obviously, there were no means
of determining the spuriousness OF this
coin save by assay, and 1t was accord.

An Artiul Elephant.

dNt1btE INtCNtgtWCt, nOTNuNcN.
An elephant was chained to tree in
the compound opposite Mr.. Towsend's
house Its driver made an oven at a
short distance, in which he put his rice
cakes to bake, and then covered them
with stones and grass and went away.
When he was gone the elephant, with
his trunk, unfastened the chain round
his foot, went to the oven and uucov-
cred it, took out and ate the cakes, re-
covered the oven with the stones and
grass as before, and went back to his
place. He could not fasten the chain
again round his own foot, so he twisted
it round and round it, in order to look
the same, and when the driver return
ed the elephant was standing with his
back to the oven. The driver went to
his cakes, discovered the theft,
and, looking round, caught the ele-
plants eye as he looked back over his
shoulder out Of the corner of it. In
stantly he detected the culprit, and
cOndign punishment folio we'd. The
whole occurrence was witnessed from
the windows by the family.

Girl who would Elope.

A Plymouth correspondent Of The
London Telegraph writes: "Just as an
up train was starting from Bodmin an
elderly gentleman accosted a young
man and . still younger woman, aud
during an alteration that ensued it
came out that the people had elopsd
that morning, and that the uncle of the
lady had detained them until the train
had gone, and then managed 20 per-
suade the young lady to return with
him to her home at Lostwithrel. De-
posting the luggage in the cloak room
the uncle and niece, the latter only IL,
took walk, as train for Lostwithrel
did not start for three hours. On re-
turning to the station, the uncle, being
tired, sat down in the waiting room
and dOZed. Meanwhile his charge
slipped out, and being rejoined by the
young man, turned their backs on the
railway and disappeared, Some time
after the uncle swoke and missed them.
He went into the town oaly to learn
that the young people had gone away
together in trap, probably to another
railway station.
