Fighting a sea-Elephant.

Up round Behring's Straits the ma
tives live mostly on whales blubber.
Up there they hunt the walrus for his
ivory and oil, and also for his hide,
which they make into boots. I've
seen sometimes as many as 500 OF
those animals on cake OF ice, all bel
lowing like thunder, so that you could
hear them for miles.
Then there's the sea-elephant, and
they are tough fellows, too. It's
easy enough killing EN-, hut when
they are dying they kick up great
fuss. With their little eshort teeth I've
seen 'em bite off a piece of rock rs big
as spittoon and throw it at a man
with fearful force. found one on
reef one day, and as We needed some
more oil ordered the boat-steerer to
make for the gully-way in the rocks
where he was We came right up to
him, put an iron into him, and hauled
HIM after us out into clear water,
Then got into the bow right under
his nose, when he grabbed the bow OF
the boat in his teeth and tore away a
streak fore and aft. He bit off the
ends of three lances. and another he
snapped out OF my hands and tried to
throw it at u..
Once he made snap at me with his
head, throwing me right into the boat
on my back. | picked up a hatchet
and with my two hands buried it in
his head up to the handle. 1t killed
him outright. He was 25 feet long,
and gave two dozen barrels OF oil. We
made blanket-sheets OF his blubber,
cutting it into pieces three feet square.
Then piercing hole in the center OF
each block, and running through
spun rope, we made Il raft OF them
towed it to the ship. The usual way
to kill sea elephant used to be to
run right up to him, hit him under the
jaw with an oar, which would make
him raise up his head, when we would
fire right up through his mouth into
the brain

ney set the pernicious example. He
missed her at the close ola day recent
ly, and hunted over his farm for her
unsuccessfully, until early in the even
ing he found her in an unused cellar.
She lay on her back, her hoofs waving
in the air, and on her face was an ex-
preston Of supreme and unexpected
happiness. "She was drunk clean
through" said Mr.. Bishop afterwards
i'll describing her condition, "but hat
ed to disturb her she looked so re-
signed and surprised. 1t took me
thirty minutes to coax her to get up
and go home. She was all right next
day, but she went around with her
head down as though it was heavy,
and she had q longing expression as
though q cocktail would be the proper
thing The next COW to get tipsy
was VIM. Blackman's and the effect Of
her indulgence was that she "dried
OIL. Her symptoms were the same
as the Alderney. Then several OF Hen
ry Daggett' s cows drank not wisely OF
cider, and tumbled down in helpless
intoxication about the cider mill.
Finally a prohibitory deacon's steer
filled himself with apple juice, and
woke up the quiet neighborhood,
prancing along the highway, and try.
ing to lock horns with a pair OF bars.
Then the Tolland farmers resolved
that 1T was imperative to adopt some
course OF action to promote sobriety
among our stock"

The Grant Trust Fund.

One OF the contributors to the
S25O,OOO Grant Trust Fund said
recently in tone showing consider.
able irritation: "The recent revela-
tions concerning the fund have led me
to inquire about it. Who appointed
these trustees who appear to have
abused their trust most shamefully?
So far as l can learn, they are self.
appointed. A number OF the sub.
scribers, among them Jay Gould, who
gave $4,000, made their checks
payable to the order OF George Jones,
OF the New York Times by whom they
were assured that as soon as the
amount was raised the subscribers
would be called together to select
trustees. No such meeting has ever
been held SO far as l can discover.
The elfappointed trustees have made
a loss of $2s 900 apparently in their
contract with Ex-Governor Morgan,
and where the rest of the fund is they
have persistently refused to say. 1t
is fortunate that the laws about trust
funds are very strict, although the re-
sponsibility of the trustees in this
case might be relieved by their self.
appointment. 1t may be q question
how these men should be treated who
have mismanaged so shamefully the
gift OF patriotic admirers of General
Grant. | think it about time that
the subscribers to the fund should find
out what has become Of their money
and how the trustees hold their posi-,
ton New York Tribune.

Humorous Elephants.

A young friend asked me once to
show him some elephants in undress,
and took him along with me, having
first borrowed an apron and filled it
with oranges. This he was to earrv
while accompanying me in the stable,
but the moment we reached the door
the herd set up such q trumpeting-
they had scented the fruit-that he
dropped the apron and its contents
and scuttled of like scared rabbit.
There were eight elephants and when
picked up the oranges l found had
twenty-five. walked deliberately

people who have just been married in
the far away regions ofthe bleak North

prosy matters as dinner? They come
to Florida to sit among our orange
groves and talk love, to bill and COO,
to spend their honeymoon. All the
stuff they eat during their stay in the

Eloping With a Gypsy Princess.

From the New Haven Conn Palladium.
Great excitement exists in the gypsy
camp near Yalesville, just north Of
Wallingford, in consequence Of the
elopement of the l6-year-old daughte,
of "Prince" Williams with a New
Haven young man OF 25, who had
fallen violently in love with the gipsy
princess. She did not return to the
camp at night at the usual hour,
and consequently there was great
uproar. The young man had paid
frequent visits to the camp and the
girl had her palm as frequently crossed
with silver, because she predicted fol-
him great fortune. Still his actions had
not excited the suspicious of the other
gipsies.
The young woman is beautiful, has
black eyes and long dark hair, and is
one OF sixteen children that call
Prince Williams father" The latter.
who is veritable prince among the
gipsies, was born in England fifty years
ago. His headquarters are in Boston,

Dissipated Cows.

Norwich, Conn, Special to New York Sun.
The yield If apples this season in
New London, Windham and Tolland
counties was never equalled before.
Every tree is heavily laden with fruit.
Splendid fruit is sold at ten cents a
bushel, given away or carted to the
mills, around which apples are piled
in great gold and pink tinted piles as
high as mans head. The mills grind
all day, and are fianked by big open
tubs OF the sweet apple juice, which is
free for all. The Tolland county cows
know good thing when they see it..
They have always been fond of sweet
cider, and they never miss q chance

but sadly mistaken men and women
who in 1S43 followed Elder William
Miller into bitter poverty and through
many trials to at last share with him
his crowning disappointment.
Or these men and women many
queer and pathetic stories are told.

Jay Gould on Drinking.

Jay Gould said to an interviewer:

century since ! tasted what's called
hard liquor. In fact my first drink
was my last as far as whisky is con-
cerned. In the days when Twas asur-
veyor in a small way, and was map
ping a county, on the practical plan
of getting my lodgings and meals of
the farmers in exchange for marking
correct sun dials on their doorsteps,
became dreadfully tired one hot,
dusty afternoon. / came along to a
country tavern. In my pocket was
5-cent piece. had dined well enough
on bread and milk, and did not doubt
that a supper and bed would be OBJ
tanned in the usual way; but it sud
denly struck me that, as u medicine
to relieve faintness, ought to buy a
glass OF whiskey with my half-dime. l
was ignorant of bar usage, and so,
when bottle and glass were set be-
fore me, filled the tumbler chock
full. The bartender made no protest,
and swallowed the big horn. Then
l went on my way, trundling my
wheelbarrow-like measure OF distanc-
es, and occasionally taking the bear
ings with sextant. Never in my life
had my work gone off half so blithe-
somely, and forawhile felt as though
making map OF the starry heavens
instead OF a very dusky portion of
this mundane sphere. After an hour
or more of exaltation l grew sleepy,
ndtook a long nap under tree in a
field. Iawoke with an awful head
ache, and found that the figures en-
tered in my notebook during the time
OF extra steam were quite incoherent.
