Aneodote of john 9. Heenan.

. In after years had the honor Of max
ing the acquaintance of the American
winner-the Benicia Boy, as we fond1y
dubbed him-a tall, grave, urbane gem
tleman, with reddish brown hair and "a
purple mustache. He wore black broad+
cloth and a tall hat, and diamonds
sparkled here and there. / wonder whas
the present champion of the world would
have done if pitted against that inSii-
vidual. We had a sand bag hanging up
in the college gymnasium; it was sus-
pended by a long rope to a horizontal
IRON bar half way from floor to ceiling.
The strongest man in, th0 college no
was pretty strong-had once hit this bag
so hard that it swung up on level with
the bar. One day Heenan dropped in.
We suggested that he should hit the bag.
He glanced at the bag, and stripped OF
his black broadcloth coat, and laid it with
its sblsen lining outward, over the back
of chair. Then he walked up to the
bag, poised himself for a moment and his
arm shot out. The bag flew upward with
an impetus that carried it completely
round the bar once and nearly round the
second time. As it fell Heenan shook his
head sadly and turned away. No one
spoke; but as he slowly inserted himself
into the silk lining he remarked:
"Boys, you should have seen me when
I was fit!'
The muscles at the back of his shoul-
ders were about of the appearance and
consistency of ammonites-a variety OF

How the young elephants in the large
herds escape from being crushed is some
thing of mystery, as they are almost
continually in motion; but when aherd is
alarmed the young almost Immediately
disappear. A close observer would see
that each baby was trotting along directly
beneath its mother, sometimes between
her fore legs
On the march, when little elephant is
born in herd, they stop day or two to
allow it time to exercise its little limbs
and gain strength, and then they press
on, the mothers and babies in front, the
old tuskers following in the rear, but
ready to rush forward at the first alarm.
When rocky or hilly places are reached,
the little one are helped up by the moth
ers, tho push them from behind and in
various ways; but when a river has to be
forded or swum, comical sight ensues.
The stream may be very rapid and
rough, as the Indian rivers often are after
rain, and at such place the babies
would hardly be able to keep up with the
rest; SO the mothers and fathers help
them. At first all plunge boldly in both
young and old-and when the old ele-
plants reach deep water, where they have
to swim, the young scramble upon their
backs and sic astride. sometimes two be-

regarded a. a Public Benefaesor.

The wife Of Gen. Crook, the Indian
fighter, is regarded as public benefactor
by the people of Arizona. It came about
in this way: She was travelling across
the territory by rail several years ago.
Her lunches had been provided by a city
caterer, and the most striking feature
of them was the abundance of water
crosses. There were altogether too many
crosses to suit Mrs. Crooks taste, and
accordingly she threw them out Of the
window. But she did not dispose Of
them haphazard. The country is crossed
by innumerable brooks, and it was only
in passing them that Mrs. Crook threw
out the superfiuous crosses. They took
root on the spots where they fell, and
multiplied with marvellous rapidity. The
result is that today this delicate appetizer
is to be found in almost all parts of the
territory, where before Mrs. Crook 8

DEATH OF EMPEROR PAUL.
Assassination of the Russian Cxmr by 4
Band of ConspiratOrs.

Assassination of the Russian CzMr by .
Band of Conspirators.
The conspirators first met and drank
pretty deep into the night, so that none
of them were really sober when they APP
peared before Paul. They had already
murdered the sentry in the passage, and,
on finding that the door of the emperor's
room offered some resistance, Pahlen
broke it open. He had in his hand when
he did SO snuff box, given him by Paul
only few days previously, when the enl-
peror had spoken to him of conspiracy
on foot, and when Pahlen had reassured
him by asking how that could be? 'for
if there were such thing should be
sure to have Aeard of it." Now, the
halt naked car confronted Pahlen with
the angry exclamation, ''What, you there,
Pahlen!' Beningsen then stepped for
ward, acting as spokesman for the rest,
and told the emperor that he must alb
dicate.
Up to this moment, thanks to the com.
plicity of the officer on duty at the foot
of the staircase, the conspirators had had
it all their own way; but now noise
frightened them and made them fear that
rescue was being attempted. 1t really
came from the empress rooms. She,
hearing the scuffie, ran out and swooned
at the back of Paul's door. An attends
ant offered glass of water, but the
Cossack on guard in her passage,
fearing treachery also in this case,
dashed down the glass, and ram to
fill another from source which
he knew was imprisoned, Meanwhile to
the frenzy of their deep potations tho
conspirators now added the stimulant OF
fear. Paul must die; he must not be
rescued, must not survive to tell who had
threatened him, nor even to plot, il an
enforced confinement, vengeance on
those who had robbed him of power. He
had already tested the trap. door, and ON
finding it locked had given way to a
paroxysm of terror and fury. = s.
Then it was that the armed men closed
in upon him; the brothers Zubow, so
eager for revenge being the keenest. and
Nicholas Zubow striking the first blow
with chair. This prostrated him. The
sash of Pahlen seemed to be the weapon
most suitable for their purpose, namely.
to infict a violent death which should
leave few traces of violence, and which
might be ascribed to fit. The Cour-
lander's sash was tied around the. eni.
peror's neck, and then the officer on
guard "a Russian pur song) noticed q
strange instance of the divinity which. in
the native Russian breast, does hedge in
the white czar. All the Russians fell
back, and as Beningsen pulled the ends
of the scarf to strangulation they said to
each other aside and in Russian, 'It's q
dogs trick-better let the German dog
do it. t.'-Edinburgh Review.
