The Noisy Thing.

"There were several persons in a
house where there was a young child,
some two or three days old; among
them little bright-eyed boy, of some
four summers. When the grandmother
soon after came in, with the babe in
her arms. he was particularly pleased
with it, kissed it. and evineed every
symptom of delight; asked his aunt
where she got It. and was told she
bought 1t of DR.. Adams. Then he
asked how much she gave for it. She
told him she paid ten dollars. He then
stood by her lap, on which the child
was lying ASLEEP, his eyes beaming
with intense satisfaction. The babe
soon awoke and squalled vociferously.
Instantly his nplntenance fell; and,
with almost disgust. pictured on his
beautiful face, he turned around and
said: .Aunty, II was you, ia take it
back to DF. Adams, and get my ten

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 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.
Tfe 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 TWEEN
| ty-four hours, when the country post
man happened to pass by. Rogers gave
him notice of his position, and soor
help came and the elephant was fright
ened away by tom-toms and yelling

81. PNrI, MlNN. Sept. 30.--A movement
is ON foot, with fair prospects of success, to
procure pardon for the Younger broth
ers, now serving a life sentence in the
saltwater peuitentiary for participating
in the Northheld murder and bank rob-
berry several years ago. TIE history of
the brothers and their desperate deeds is
too well known to need recital, and the
fact that there is a probability that they
will be released from confinement has
created no little excitement in this
country, and yet they nave u
large number of sympathiZerS
here, who reason that they are rs desery-
Ing of their liberty as FRANK James or the
Ford boys. A penitentary official was seen
by the Herald representative Il few days
ago and questioned regarding the proba-
bilities of q pardon He was not slow in
affirming that he thought them very ia
Vorablc. 1t was while in conversation
with him that the correspondent learned
that the Younger brothers had rich and
very influential rclaciycS in the vicinity of
Marshall Mo, who were now and have
been Tor several years covertly working
to obtain the pardon of the brothers; and
now, gince the change in the administra-
/ ton AT Washington, rs the influence of
! the family reaches to the national CAPT
/ tai, they have reasonable hopes that their
/ efforts VIII be crowned with success
For two years past and more Mrs. wv

boys, living in the southern part of the
state, has visited them in their prison
apartments as often as every month. She
