Some Elephant Stories.

Major Rogers had been out shooting,
and had discharged all his guns, when
an elephant made a charge at him
from the skirts of the jungle. There
was no help for it except to run, and
for 400 yards the Major kept just
ahead, feeling at every step just as if
the trunk was trying to twist itself
about his loins. A turn around a tree
gave him a momentary advantage.
which he made the most of by spring
ing into the branches; but, before he
had time to draw up his legs, the ele-
phant had got him with his proboscis.
Still Rogers pulled against him, think
ing it was better to have his leg
wrenched from the socket than to fall
back bodily into the animals power.
The struggle did not last long, for, to
the delight of the pursued and the
chagrin of the pursuer, the Wellington
boots, which the former wore, slipped
off, released the leg and saved the life
of poor Rogers. The dilemma, how
ever, did not end here; for the elephant,
finding himself baked of his prey, after
destroying the boot, took up his quar-
ters beneath the branches and kept his
anticipated victim in the tree for twen-
ty-four hours, when the country post
man happened to pass by. Rogers gave
him notice of his position, and sooD
help came and the elephant was fright
ened away by tom-toms and yelling.
Had this occurred in the deserted part
of the Jungle, the officer must have
been starved to death in the tree.
The native Hindoo from want Of
thought keeps up constant drumming
on the beasts head with the gcad, OF
"ankus." 1, therefore, hoped not to
use it at all. Such an improvement all
at once. however, proved more than
the elephantine mind could grasp. He
began really to enjoy himself, going
his own way more than mine, till at
last he marched straight into an i'm
mense forest tree of the banyan species
and commenced to browse. He seized
the boughs above his head, and, tug
ging violently with them, brought them
down on my devoted skull. This was
too much. l raised the aukus and
brought it down on his head with a
blow that brought blood through the
skin. This had the desired effect, and
he at once bundled off along the road
by which he knew l wanted to 90. He
merely took with him a branch about
the size of small apple tree to discuss
as We went along. From this moment
we were friends, and don't think J
ever had to use the hook again so as to
bring blood.-Lond0n Times.

Hazen is in another row. His letter to
Secretary Chandler, attacking Commander
Wildes, and charging the disaster of the
Arctic expedition to him, has the old
probabilities of warm wave in it. Hazen
says:
"The power to rescue Greely and his party
was in the hands OF Commander Wildes, and
it only required his willingness to do it, and
he refused It when he knew no one else
would give it, and sailed to the south thirty
days before il was necessary"
Hazen seems to be courting a court
martial for himself; and the Washington
Republican says that it need not cause
surprise if hegets it by the time the Swain
trial is done, and from the same tribunal.
Anything for change from Swain.

The Enquirer suggests Gen. Bob. Kennedy
as an available Republican candidate for
governor. There is lots of good timber. such
as Foraker, Kennedy, Nash, and Rose. Back
counties have not reported. The SPRINGFIELD
GLoBE-REPURLIC says that no Springfield
man wants the nomination, which is sur
prising-Dsyton Journal.
While the GLoBE-REPUBLIC did not state
its opinion in that emphatic form, i,
adheres to its opinion as stated. But why
should it be surprising? The governor,
ship of Ohio is not the chief end of man.
And, if it were, sensible persons would
still recognize the vast hiatus that is liza,
bic to yawn between an end and an aim
between an election and a nomination.
Springfield men are modest.

did anything else that was wrong; and,
further, we will withdraw the assertion
that he sold" himself TO the Prohibition
party, but will say merely that he trans
ferred' himself; for We still very much
doubt whether he would have acted with
that party last year unless it had noml-
mated him for the Presidency. But let it
be borne in mind that we did not charge
that St. John offered to sell out to the Re
publicans and that he did sell out to the
Democrats; we simply referred to charges
of this sort that have been made by Mr..
Clarkson, of Iowa, member OF the Ma
tional Republican Committee, and Mr..
McCullagh, editor of the Globe-Democrat,
St. Louis, who say they can prove them
and, as the National Prohibition Commit
tee has publicly challenged them to do so,
we presume they will do it, if they can.
So far, certainly, we must admit that the
charges are not proved.
1t is not at all strange that in brooding
over the mischief done by St. John in
turning over the country to the Demo.
Gratis, and also over the unkind things he
and his followers have been saying about
Mr.. Blaine and his supporters, We should
use rather strong language-lsnguage
which We are sorry to know greatly hur,
1--WE think unnecessarily the feelings OF
Mr.. Fernald and Mr. Robert H. Young,
and perhaps those Of other gentlemen for
whom We have high regard.
We hope, however, that these gentlemen
will take in good part the suggestion that
whenever they find that Republicans have
put good, clean, honest men, of sound and
correct principles. habits, and character
in the field as candidates, whether for the
office of mayor, of governor, or of presi
dent they will show their genuineness as
reformers and their practical sense, by
voting for them-especially in cases where
their refusal or neglect to do so will throw
the local or the national government into
the hands of avowed whisky men.

Hoadly made a rattling speech-his
speeches are always rattEng-at the Jack
son banquet in response to the toast, The
next governor of Ohio" 1t was not re-
ported, perhaps because it was thought
that the newspapers had had as much as
they wanted to swallow of Hoadly till
next January. But he made one point
that was mentioned by the reporters with
applause; namely, that he positively
would not be candidate for denomination
and would not be the next Governor of
Ohio. Let it be recorded.

Christmas Presents.

Children Of the present generation
are not aware, probably. how much
better they fare at Christmas and on
their birthdays than their fathers did.
And it is a conclusive proof of the
growth of our people on the sentiment
tai side or their natures, that it is so.
Forty years ago, in this country, it is
not likely that one boy out of score
expected to receive even one present at
Christmas. The practice has grown
almost universal within the last gener-
alton. and the prayer of all is that the
custom will not die out.

Democracy

Cleveland will enforce the civil-service
law; but he will do it, as Arthur did, with
a board of examiners composed. in its
majority, of his own party friends. Ap-
plications are already being made for the
places of Republicans on the board. 1t
is difficult to see how the Republican party
can criticise Cleveland for running the
civil service with the same machine with
the gearing reversed) that Arthur ran it
with

The boy Strong went to our U. S. naval
academy from Oregon. The gentle cadets
duly initiated him. This process of in
itiation is notorious. The young gentle
men of the American navy rode the new
Oregon boy Strong on rail, they rolled
him in a barrel, they pummeled him.
Within twelve hours he was laid up in the
hospital, and in few days he died. These
gallant young tars had given him his
death They murdered him and laughed
about it as their usual fun. They
call it "hazing." There is talk
in congress about an investigation
and punishment of the guilty parties.
The institution itself should be investi-
gated and punished. A set of professors
who will suffer this pleasant academical
pastime called hazing to go on till it re-
suits in actual murder ought to be dis
charged with something about as sud
den as dynamite.

There can be no doubt that the over
whelming popular sentiment of the Re
publican party in New York is in favor Of
VIM. NJ. Evarts for the senatorship; and it
is claimed with confidence that he has
now enough members of the legislature
pledged to his support to carry him
triumphantly through the caucus. Bat
Levi 2. Morton is very rich man, and
Mr.. Evarts, comparatively, is not. In
this state of facts prophecy is vain thing.

Durbin Wards bugle-blast beat them
all. Durbin is a thinker, and he sings
the language like lightning. He was one
steady glow of eloquent fireworks on the
Sth at Columbus. Witness these speci-
men flashes on jackson:

sterile, fallow ground of lazy sinecures, and
fertilized the fields of office by new sunlight
and air"
jackson, when he saw the devils of plu-
tocrscy mocking the rights of the people,
hurled the Ithuriel spear of his veto at the
vitals of monopoly, and it stood revealed as
an ugly harpy, covering from that day to
this under the eagle eye Of Democracy"

found in the success with which Oberlin

penses. The catalogue states that young
