ayes. You see the popularity of our fell

A RumOr from Shiloh.
THE Century for October. !

"Endurin' Of the war" it was not safe in
Kentucky for Southern sympathizers TO rejoice
over Southern successes. A certain old "Se-
cesh,' from the hills Of Tate's Creek, i'm Madi-
son County, had been frequently admonished
by Judge Turner, Of Richmond, KY that IL he
was hot more cautious he would land in Camp
Chase or some other Northern prison. One
day the Judge observed his old friend CHANGING
anXiousy into his Office AS lac passed and re-
passed the door. Calling him ina. the Judge
asked him what was the matter well" said
the old man, Jedge, If you'll lock yer door
I'LL tell you" After assuring himself that there
were no listeners he proceeded:
"Jedge,-l hoam as the rebils an the
Yankees has had a master fight. As hearn il.
the rcbils and the Yankees they met away
down on the Mississippi River, an they Gt

PeOn and German.

The condition of the peon laborer of this
country, much as it needs to be improved, conf
pares favoTably with hundreds of thousands of
European tOilers. German twig broom maker,
by constant labor, earns daily wage of fifteen
cents, of which thirteen must go for food, the
items being bread three cents coffee and sugar,
two cents; beer, two cents potatoes and sauer-
kraut, three cents, and all other food, three
cents. His yearly expenditure for clothing isa
triile over 81. And this man, it should be
borne in mind, works in climate of rigorous
Winters, neceSstatiDg warm clothing and secure
shelter. Comparing his lot with that OF a peOn
in the hot country States. we can see no reason
for lamenting the condition of the Mexican la
bOrer.

A NEW METAL.

The Discovery of Germanium, . Substance
Found in Silver Ore.
In the reports of the German Chem
ical Society there is an account of new
metallic element discovered by Clemens
Winkler. 1t occurs in argyrodite, a
silver ore from the Himmelsfurst mine,
near Freyberg. Germanium, symbol
&c, has q great resemblance to anti
mony, though it is distinguished by GER
tain well-marked reactions. If the sui
phide is heated in the absence of air, G.
g.. in a current of hydrogen. it forms a
blacklist crystalline sublimate, which at
q higher temperature melts to brownish
red drops. This sulphide dissolves in
ammonium hydrosulphide, and is re-
precipitated with white color by hy-
drochloric acid, and is again redissolved
by ammonia If arsenic or anthony is
present, the color is yellow. If heated in
air, or treated with hot nitric acid, the
white germanium oxide is formed. which
is not volatile at red heat. The oxide
dissolves in potassium hydroxide. If
this solution is slightly acidified, it gives
white precipitate on treatment with
hydrogen sulphide. The oxide is easily
reduced by hydrogen; the sulphide less
easily. The metal is gray, volatile at
full red heat, though less readily than
anthony. The vapor deposits small
crystals like those of iodine, which do
not melt In current of chlorine the
metal yields white chloride, which is
more volatile than antimony chloride.
The acid solution gives white precipi-
tate with hydrogen sulphide. Herr
Winkler is determining its atomic
weight, with view to determine its
place in the periodic arrangement

we oyerhauled the rogue, just as he

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 fight. | hid
myself directly, hoping to witness such
q rare and grand sight as combat be-
tween two big tusker elephants, but
unfortunately. one of my men, in trying
to reach a safe hiding place, attracted
the attention of the other bull, which
instantly charged him. In order to
save him, fired at the elephant. and
turned him, when quick as lightning the
rogue wheeled around and charged full

gave the old brute my other barrel right
between the eyes. and ran for dear life
into the cover.
1.-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 60, 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 / stole
forward to look for him. / had gotquite
near the two bulls, and perhaps fifty
yards from my men, when suddenly !
heard yell Of:
"'The rogue, sahib! the rogue!'
81 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 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 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
shot would actually stop him. You
know it is almost impossible to kill an
elephant when he is charging you. The
instant l fired. 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 IF
them into the ground and broke the
point off, and an instant later fell over
on his side, stone dead He was a per-
feet giant, nearly eleven feet high
