the latter were big bulls, and from the way one of them stood facing the rogue and glaring at him, thought surely there was going to be a fight. l hid myself directly, hoping to witness such rare and grand sight as combat be- tween two big tusker elephants, but unfortunately, one of my men, in trying to reach safe hiding place, attracted the attention of the other bull, which instantly charged him. In order to save him, l fired at the elephant, and turned him, when quick as lightning the rogue wheeled around and charged full tilt at me. I was then on open ground, and as quick as 1 could, drew up, gave the old brute my other barrel right between the eyes, and ran for dear life into the cover.
 ''The elephants all bolted, the bulls going one way and the wounded rogue another. After reloading we started after him as hard as we could go, and in less than five hundred yards came sud denly upon the two bulls, The rogue was nowhere in sight, but told the men to stay where they were while I stole forward to look for him. I had otquite near the two bulls, and perhaps fifty yards from my men, when suddenly l heard yell of:
 "'The rogue, sahib! the roguen
 'I looked behind me, and there came the Poonasy rogue in full charge, head up, ears cooked, trunk curled up, and murder in his eye. The cunning old brute had made a detour and laid in am- bush for me beside his own trail. Twas never so scared in my life as at that mo- ment, for I knew it was kill or be killed. I wheeled about and faced him, threw up my gun and blazed away at his head, but not daring to hope that such a shot would actually stop him. You know it is almost impossible to kill an elephant when he is charging you. The instant l fired, I sprang off to one side, to get out of the way, if possible. The old brute charged right through the smoke of my gun, and then l banged away at his temple with my other bar rel. The ball went right through his brain. His legs gave way, he pitched forward on to his tusks, drove one of them into the ground and broke the point of, and an instant later fell over on his side, stone dead. He was per feet giant, nearly eleven feet high"
 have only to add in conclusion that for this gallant exploit the Madras Gov ernment voted to MT. Theobald re- ward of 200 rupees, and gave him per mission to keep as trophies the tusks. which were five feet long, and weighed seventy-four pounds. s.-Wm. T. Horraa- ddy, i9 Youth's Companion.

WHICH SUFFERED MoST2

She sat beside her cabin door,
 And sang a sweet, pathetic song,
 And watched the soldiers pass along Down to their boats, near by the shore. But when her lover passed she sighed, And from her lips she threw a kiss,
 Which his swift glances did not miss, For Helen was his fondest pride. He went to fight, she fingered there
 Within the sad and lonesome dell-
 Which suffered most? We can not tell Which heart endured the most despair He bravely fought and bravely fell;
 She thought of him each night and day, And then her spirit passed away. Which suffered most? We can not tell. Which suffered most, the warrior brave Who fought for freedoms gory goal, Or she who mourned until her soul Found rest and peace within the grave?

THE House committee to which the bill
making appropriations for the Bureau of Agri-
culture is assigned. objects to the expendi-
ture of large sums of money for the entomolo-
gists department, and advises that the
scientist in charge give less attention to gen.
eral investigation, but that he confne himself
to the potato-bug and ctherinsects which poster
the farmer. Perhaps the House committee will
kindly enlighten a wondering constituency by
making a list Of bugs and worms which do
not infest the rural districts. According to
the best information of the agricultural editor
of the Journal, there is only one insect,
namely, the festive cockroach, which has ex-
clusively urban propensities.

THE fact that packages of silver are sent
from the Treasury to California and find their
way back almost Immediately without having
been opened, ought to convince the silver
men that wherever the difficulty of forcing
silver into circulation may lie, the fault does
not rest with the Treasury. TheAefforts to
compel the people to take and use silver have
been almost Extensively persistent, but all in
vain. The dollars, as if by force of gravita-
ton, roll from private pockets into the banks,
thence backsinto the Treasury, and all at
tempts to divert the flow have been f~ruitless.
st. Louis Globe democrat.
What is to prevent the government send
ing it back again and letting it make the
grand round9 This is the purpose of money.
Silver discharges a debt every time it changes
hands, and if its holders prefer to use that
in paying taxes, customs or revenue, what
harmG The chief objection to silver is its
bulk, and it is natural that anybody should
seek to ''get rid of it because other money is
more easily handled. Let the government
keep sending out silver money. In that way
the people will be educated as to its merits
and dement's.

THE absorbing interest shown by the thick

Pottstown's Big Eater.

POttst0wn, Pa, Special.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon Abbie w. Engie,
ex baggage-master at the Philadelphia & Read
inc railroad depot, began the herculean task Of
eating a barrel of oysters in eleven hours on q
wager. Abbie's capacity for eating is we'll
known in this vicinity and many people thought
he would complete the task. He ate fifty oysters
at a sitting, and at 7:30 ne bad eaten $50 and his
task was Just half done. He then retired. and.
not appearing again until 10 o'clock. the wager
was decided against him. despite his claim that
he could eat $50 more. That Engle is one of the
biggest eaters in the country there is not the
slightest doubt, as he frequently eats a whole
chicken at a meal, and has often drunk a gallon
of beer at one draught. One evening last week,
while in training, he ate three gallons Of oyster
soup for lunch. Engle weighs about 800 pounds.

Blasphemers Said to Have Been Dispersed by
the Sight of an Appalling Creature.
Harrisburg (Pa.) Special.
Last Thursday morning there was a jovial
crowd in a hotel at Millersburg, Dauphin coun-
ty. and while they were drinking Samuel Motter
entered. Motter is well known throughout the
county as a patent medicine peddler, and is about
f~ifty-five years of age. His wife died in the aims
house sometime ago, and since then he has been
living near this place.
Shortly after Motter entered a discussion on
religious subjects arose. The sacrament of the
Lords supper was talked about. Motter became
very earnest in his talk, and finally dared the
men to indulge in an imitation of the Lords sup
per. They agreed to have it with beer and bread,
and accordingly a glass was filed with the bever-
age. They then knelt in mock humility. and
with the beer in one hand and the bread in the
the other Motter went along distributing a bite
and a sup to each. Suddenly, when he was about
half through, a strange noise was heard, and
looking up the men saw a sight that Mortified
them. AS near as the scared men could describe
it, they declare it was an immense, illy-formed
and foul beast, with great cloven feet, pointed
horns, and eyes that flashed fire. With wild
yells the men rushed out into the open air and
scattered in every direction. Finally all of them
reached their homes except Motter. who was
away for a long time and at last he arrived
a maniac. He was put to bed and physicians
summoned, but they could do nothing for him.
He raved, howled and prayed, declaring that he
had seen the evil one. and that he was lost. His
torture was terrible, but nothing could be done
to relieve him, and he died in the widest agony.

The Democratic reform administration is
not yet a twelvemonth old, but it would appear
that scandals were epidemic. Democracy is
tipsy everywhere, and careless of consequences.
In New York city the Jake Sharp scandal is
attracting attention, it being pretty evident
that a corrupt city legislature has been
bought to vote for the Broadway surface
road. In Washington the contagion of official
misfeasance threatens to involve certain Of
the Cabinet. the immaculate Presidents i'm
mediate advisers. In Ohio a Democrat has
boldly challenged the Democratic Senator to
deny that his way to Congress was bought.
In Columbus, that State, an election tally
sheet was forged in the interest of Democracy.
In Cincinnati the same crime was committed,
and Democratic legislative candidates based
their claims of election on this pal
pable fraud. In the same precinct where
this was done 134 Republican bal
lots mysteriously disappeared, and over
400 Democratic votes were found
in the box that could not be accounted for by
the population of the precinct. In Indiapa-
But where should one begin to recount the innu-
merable scandals that the administration
and its appointees have brought out in this
Statef From first to last the Presidents APP
pointments here have, with a very few honor
able exceptions, been scandalous, and men
have been appointed to subordinate positions
who could by no possibility get on the police
force. The political air is heavy with rotten
appointments and Infamous removals for
cause" Nobody feels this more than the
President, and to escape responsibility for
the false and malicious charges trumped up
against Republican officials he hides behind a
prerogatiye that allows him to keep the mask
over the faces of moral assassins9 If SO much
r%ottenness can be developed in less than a
year, what may the country expect during the
entire term?

THE consideration" says a Republican
organ, 'of civil appointments by the Senate
in open session would be in full accord with
real civil-service reform. The secret session
is the spoilsman's shelter" Why was this
beautiful idea never thought of during the
twenty-four years of Republican administra-
tionY-Louisville Courier-Journal.
One reason, and that one sufficient, was
that the policy of moral assassination had not
been adopted to make places for partisans and
to shield the President. The hypocrisy now
practiced in the name Of civil-service reform
did not prevail then. The p~retense of reform
was not set up to shield ~rufians intent on
secretly assailing the good name of public
officers, in order to have the dishonest excuse
Of a "charge" on which to base removals.
When an official was removed by Republican
authority, he was not stabbed in the back,
but was allowed to go out of place with all
the honor he deserved. No one thought of
asking a Republican Presidents reasons for
removal, because there was no secret about
it, and no disposition to blacken the character
of men removed. This is why it was never
thought of during the twenty four years of Re-
publican administration" 1t is very foolish
to challenge a comparison of Republican and
Democratic methods in this business. The
former were honorable; the latter have been a
scandal almost from the day Mr.. Cleveland
was inaugurated.
