The Elephant Seal.

Almost the first voyagers who sailed
into the then unknown seas surrounding
the south pole took back to Europe stories
about a gigantic seal, much larger than
the elephant, and, like that animal, fur
nished with trunk. But the people had
begun to doubt the stories of travellers, and
consequently not much reliance was plac d
on these various accounts.
When the real Robinson Crusoe, whose
name was Alexander Selkirk, was found
on his island of Juan Fernandez and
taken home to England, he also told about
the giant seal, and gave such minute par.
ticulars concerning it that its existence
was no longer doubted. Still, it was not
until century later, when the report OF
Captain Cooks voyages was published,
that any real interest was reused in the
sea-elephant, or elephant seal. This re-
port said that the oil and skin furnished
by the animal were valuable, and that
statement was hint enough for one or two
enterprising merchants. Without more
ado, they fitted out a few whaling ships,
and sent them to southern seas to pro
cure the oil and skins of the hapless
creatures.
Among these ships the trimmest and
swittest was the "Msry Ann
How many elephant-seals were slaugb-
tered by the crew of the Mary Aun
is not known; but it is recorded that,
within twenty-five years of the time Of
her visit to Georgia Islands, there were
killed on that island over one million two
hundred thousand animals, or about one
thousand every day during the season.
How many millions were killed altogether
can never be known, but it is certain that
the killing did not cease until the elephant.

terest you to know that the young ele-
phsnt-seals are now to be seen in the
Geological Gardens at Philadelphia.
The young sea-elephant is as big as Q
small man when it is born, and in eight
days it will grow four feet longer and ont
hundred pounds heavier. That is pretty
quick growth; but, to reach circum
terence of eighteen feet and a length Of
thirty feet in three years, it has need tc
grow quickly.
Penrose, in his account of the elephant
seal, says that his sailors used to mount
upon the backs of these animals as they
were in the water and race with each
other, making the animals swim by spur
ring them with their knives. This story
is not precisely doubted, but it is not be
lieved, either. The elephant-seal always

way. She was afraid of the deepening
gloom in the streets, afraid of the grave,
silent man in the drivers seat. Who
knew to what dreadful place he might
take herP He might - the dreadful

When at length he paused at the ia

"Oh mamma. do love you and

to be any body's little girl but yours. I'm
so sorry But the basket isn't hurted

A Balky Horse.

Governor Griffin, in the Albany Eves
ing Post, presents the following to his
readers Very few people have any idea
of the large quantity of advice always
kept on hand until they witness the stay
ing qualities of balky horse. A horse
from the farm put in an appearance in
Printing House Square this morning.
When the farmer got ready to start for
home the procession refused to move.
The tiller of the soil began to coax the
took to put his hind feet in the wagon.
BY this time large crowd had collected,
and the following is a sample of the adj
vice given to the tiller of the soil:
"Let the checkline loose, and lead
him."
"Tie string to his ear, and pull. he
will follow"
"Get out and push on the lines"
Put rope around his neck, and hitch
him to another wagon"
"Put some dry sand in his mouth"
"Blow in his ear"
Tie up one of his front legs"
"Twist his tail"
"Pick him up and carry him.
"Put a rope around his body, pass IL
between his front legs, fasten it under
the throat, and pull him along.'
"Why don't You sell him ?"
"What are Stalled horses worth q
pound? ?"
"Take his harness off and lead him
around the block blndfolded."
Rub his nose with chalk"
cite sailors knot in his upper lip"
"Take off his shoes and put his feet in
warm water"
"Place an ice poultice on his forehead"
"Find out what he wants to do, and
then give him loose rein."
"Untie his bely-band."
Take and grease the wagon"
The above is small sample of the adj
vice given to start a balky horse. The
advice did not start the procession. Pres
emily locomotive put in an appearance
on Quay street, and began to blow off
steam, when the horse thought of the
clover patch at home and started up Hud,
son avenue on the gallop.

The tint of The sky

In your sweet little eye
And your bonnet of blue,
In the shade of your gown,
In your dress, in your hair,
In your gems, in your crown
There liz blue everywhere.
Was Bluebeard your father,
My pretty Blue Curls?
They say he was rather
Impartial to girls.
What charm of his daughter
Induced him to spare
From general slaughter
Thy maidenhood fair?
Did he love your poor mother
The dearest and best,
who, for some whlm or other,
He sent to her rest?
Did he dote on your tresses.
The hue of his beard?
Did he seek your caresses
Or was he afeared2
However he ended,
In sorrow or glee,
No sin has descended
From him upon thee;
No crimsoning Stain
OF his cimeter wild
Shall ever remain
On his innocent child.

More Coal Discoveries

1t is reported that coal has been found
on the Laguna Rancho, San Diego
county, near the line of the California
Southern railroad. That is not surpris-
ing. Coal is found in many places on
the Pacific coast, and is most likely to be
found in the south end of all the leading
valleys Of this State. The deposits that
form coal seem to have drifted from
north 10 south, and with this principle
in mind it viii probably be found that
there is vast coal deposit in the south
end of the San Joaquin and San Fer
nando valleys. In the south end Of the
Los Angeles valley, which is united with
the Santa Ana valley, there appear to be
good indications. There seems to be
plenty Of coal in the Santa Clara coal
mines. Now the Laguna rancho, still
further south, reports find of coal, and
we may expect the south end of San
Jacinto and Warmers ranch to produce
this important article.
