The wheat Flelds.

A stroll il the country few days
ago revealed the fact that the wheat
crop Ia some parts of our county had
suffered considerably from the rigors
of the past winter Some fields were
looking very green on the hill-sides
and in the valleys, and others were
hardly visible, and we were told By
some farmers this was the condition
Of the crop throughout our county.
Where fertilizers and lime had been
used. the crop presented very heal
thy appearance, and where neither
had been spread quite the reverse,
The grass fields in many places were
about on par with the wheataelds.

bouts at the same rate Of pay as that
drawn by Shaitan's former mahout,
who was given other work.
After having given various other or
ders and had a good look at the con-
quered Shaitan, the Captain walked oil
to his bungalow. The result of his
meditations that evening over the
strange events Of the afternoon was
that next morning lie wrote long re-
port to the Government, detailing what
had happened, and strongly recon-
mending that the elephant should not
be shot, as ordered, but left in charge
of Bux Khan, the elephant-tamer. He,
however, requested permission to shoot
it at once, without waiting for the sane
ton of Government, in the event of It's
breaking out again.

,aid. +" We have something to sho '
him.
What is the natter"

.Dead What did he die off"

ply.
Captain Eaton at once hurried down
TO the kheddah, and went straight to
Shai,an's stable. There lay the ele-
plant on its side dead, in a great pool
of blood. An examination showed that
il had received two deep thrusts behind
the left fore.leg, both Of which must
have penetrated its heart. The spear
with which the wounds had evidently
been inflicted was lying on the floor OF
the stable. There was no occasion to
ask vino Rad done the deed. There
was but one man in the kheddah
who had sufficient strength and courage,
as every one knew, and that was Bux
Khan, the iemadar. lie had clearly
during the night taken vengeance on
the elephant for its attack on his child.
Eaton at once sent for him aud taxed
him with the offence. The Afghan did
not attempt to deny it, and his face
cleaned as he said grimly: tits true,
Sahib killed it,"
Captain Eaton spoke severely to him,
pointing out to him the gravity of the
offence he had committed, but in his
heart he sympathized with the man,
and was glad the dangerous creature
had thus been disposed of. Bux Khan
listened silently and made no attempt
to exculpate himself 1t was well for
him that the death of the elephant had
already been decided on. lie had mere
w forestalled the order which would
have been given next day, and was
consequently lightly punished by a
triiling fine. Had any other man than
Bux Khan been the offender, he would
not only have been dismissed but pro-
badly have been committed to Jail.
The iemadar was too valuable a man,
however, to lose, and his English mas
ter was glad Of any excuse to pass
over the matter. lie took care, how
ever, to let every one employed at the
kheddah know the reason for his lcnity,
warning them at the same time that any
attempt to kill or injure any elephant III
the future would be visited with the
se,erest punishment.

George w. Peck, the funny man of the Milwaukee Sun, was at Waukesha Springs, Wis, a short time ago. He stood at the Bethesda Spring with a friend, drinking the water, while crowd gathered around to gaze with awe at the noted humorist.
 This is refreshing." he said 10 his friend, as he drained his glass
 "What's that he said {" whispered one to another.
 "Very refreshing. Ha! hl! ha !" He! he he! How awfully funny /" "Ho! ho! ho! should think so :" The author of the Bad Boy" looked inquiringly around, and then said to his companion:
 Beautiful day"
 "Ha ha! ha Hel he he Ho! ho ho audibly snickered the crowd But think we'll have rain before night" continued the humorist.
 And both moved gravely of, while the crowd nearly cracked iheir sides with laughter. All of which proves the truth of Saxe's words:

The Great Southwestern Music House.
 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is but natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little Rock, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there is none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade 1t commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H
 G. Hollenberg. A business career ~f over thirty years in Memphis aud of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have materially controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competf tors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best m akes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining to their line, and are prepared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east. isht considered

 In the early spring of 1863, when the Confederate and Federal armies were confronting each other on the opposite hills of Stafford and Spottsylvania, two bands chanced one evening. at the same hour, to begin to discourse sweet music on either bank of the river. A large crowd of soldiers of both armies gathered to listen to the music, the friendly pickets rot interfering, and soon the bands be- gan to answer each other. First the band on the northern bank would play Star SpaDgled Banner" Hail Colum- bia, or some other national air, and at its conclusion the boys in blue" would cheer most Justify. And then the band on the southern bank would respond with " Dixie or Bonnie Blue Flag" or some other southern melody, and the boys in gray would attest appreciation with the old Confederate yell. But presently one of the bands struck up in sweet and plaintive notes which were waited across the beautiful Rappahannock, and were caught up at once by the other band and swelled into 4 grand anthem which touched every heart, Home. Sweet Home " At the conclusion of this piece there went up simultaneous shout from hOfh SidPc Of the Yivar ChaAr EOllomAd cheer, and those hills, which had so re- gently resounded with hostile guns, echoed and re echoed the glad acclaim A chord had been struck, responsive to which the hearts of enem es-enemies then could beat in unison and on both sides of the river.
