A Tibetaa Beauty and the Beast.

a King had son named kusa who
was hero:cally strong. but who, unfort-
unately, possessed the eighteen signs
of ugliness. and face like that of
lion. In order that the youth might not
know how hidcous he was he was
brought up without ever having seen
mirror or even the surface of standing
water And when he married he was
ordered never to show himself to his
wife in the daytime, or by artificial
light, lest she should find that she was
welded to monster. After time,
however, the curiosity of the Tibetan
Psyche was aroused. One night she
lighted lamp and covered it up with
bowl. When her husband arrived she
lifted the bowl, and then for the first
time she saw that he had "the eighteen
marks of unsightlineSs and face like
IONS jowl," so she exclaimed: "A
demon, a demon!" and fed away to
her fathers house. Sorro wlully did her
deserted husband seek to recover her.
Several times he, unrecognized, won her
heart by his address. But whenever she
saw his face she always uttered the
same cry and fed. At last he displayed
such heroic qualities in fighting against
her fathers foes that the Princess
thought: ''As this youth kusa is ex-
cellent!y endowed with boldness
and courage. why should | dislike
him?" So ''she took liking for him,
and returned to live with him. All went
well for time. But at length Kuss
went down 10 pool one day to battle.
Catching sight of the reflection of his
face in the water. he said to himself:
AS l have the eighteen signs of un-
eoneliness and face like lion, and
as on that account the Princess takes nc
pleasure in me, it is needless that such
q one as should remain alive / will
go and put myself TO death. There
upon he entered into copse and was
about to hang himself, when Indra in
terfered and presented him a jewel
which, when worn upon his forehead,
endowed him with personal beauty.
After which he lived happily with his
sdmiring wife. The story has been con-
siderably distorted in its change from
pathological to a moral tale. 1t origi-
rally belonged, no doubt, to the large
group of Indian legends in which are
described the fortunes of brilliant and
generally Divine being, who is forced V
assume for time somber or even re-
ptllye appearance, and TO live on
Aarths Of all events during the daytime.

The democratic papers of the state
speak in the most kindly manner
of Capt. Hugh Lewis, who has re-
Gently seen fit to transform himself
from wicked and perverse demo.
crat into a full-hedged, self righteous
republican. This is right and wor-
thy of commentator. When, du-
ring the presidential campaign of
1880, Hon. p. A. Orion publicly ar
raigned the democratic party for
all manner of wickedness and rebel
lion and joined his political fortunes
with Hon. George Hazelton and the
party of purity and progress, the
democratic press regretfully babe
him adieu, aud did not deem the
fact OF his having suddenly changed
his political opinions sufficient reason
for attacking him personally. And
when our good friend DR.. Egan, of
Highland left us last year because
there was too much free trade about
us and joined the Irish loving re.
publicans no democrat had word
Of reproach for him But how differ
ent is the case when republicans
turn over and become democrats.
In nearly every instance the organs
of the late G. 0. p. with one accord
attack the one who has deserted
them, impugn his motives, and fling
whole columns of billingsgate at
him. Let democratic editors do
nothing of this kind. The discus
sion of public questions is always
10 order, but personal abuse never.
Offensive partisanship consists in a
failure to properly realize this and a
consequent abuse of political oppo-
nents. Let not, therefore, democratic
editors become offensive partisans.

Hon. Fred Horn, of the Cedar
burg News, we believe is the only
democratic editor in Wisconsin who
is not satisfied with the appointment
of Dr.. w. A. Anderson as consul at
Montreal. The Honorable Fred has
a perfect right to criticise any or all
appointments made by the present
administration, and if he can afford
to stand alone in opposition to so
worthy man as DR.. Anderson, the
remainder of the democrats of the
state surely ought to to allow him
the privilege of doing so.

Killing Sea Elephants.

"MoSt OF the time was spent in killing
sen elephants, and rough work it was.
The animals had been hunted so much
that they only came ashore on one part
of the island called Long Beach. and
where there was heavy sea breaking
all he time; so the only wav to a ,o , !" as
drive the animals off shore and to
keep them off, so that they would come
ashore in other places where they could
be killed. The long beach was covered
with thousands of elephants in regular
herds, like cattle. about fifty to a lot.
and each under the lead of big male
called a beach-master. Our business
was to take long seal-skin whips, sail
into the herds, and drive them off,
which was no fool of job. We walked
along about an eighth of mile apart,
and had some close scrapes sometimes.
Some of the beach-masters were thirty
feet long and weighed three tons. They
didn't seem to know what fear meant.
and You could walk right among
them and give them the whip right and
left, and then the roaring and Hopping
commenced. Fight? l should say SO.
