A Noted Elephant.

The Ceylon papers announced the
death of an elephant named Sella,
which had served the Public Works
Department for over siXty>iive years.
Originally Sella belonged to the last
of the kings of Handy, Sir Wick
rema Raja Singha, and was one of
about 100 elephants which passed TO
the British government in 1915,
when the Kandyan dynasty was
everthrown and the whole island
passed under British rule. 1t was
supposed at that time that Sella was
fifteen years of age, but this was I'M
certain. In 1880 it was decided that
all the elephants belonging to the
Public Works Department should be
sold, and Sella fell to well-known
resident Of Colombo, Mr.. De Soysa
The animal aided in several keddah
operations for the capture and tam
ing of wild elephants, but became
totally blind about three years ago
He continued, however, to work al
the pillow until within a short time o
his death.

A Clowns Sermon.

The following printed speech by a
circus clown, is repubIished at the re.
quest of pastor.
My friends, we have taken in about
six hundred dollars here to-day, more,
venture to say, thanany minister of
the gospel in this town will receive
for u whole years service. A large
portion of this money was given by
the church members, as large pOr-
ton of this audience is composed of
the members of the Church. Yet
when your preacher asks you for
money to aid the supporting of the
gospel, you say you are too poor to
give any thing. Yet you came here
to hear me talk nonsense. | am a
fool because | am paid for it. You
profess to be wise, and yet you sup
port me in my folly. But perhaps,
you say you did not come to see the
circus, but the animals; why did you
not look at them and 90 away?
Why did you stay to hear my non
sense? Now, is not this pretty place
for Christians to he in? DO you not
feel ashamed Of yourselves? You
ought to blush to be caught in such
Il place as this.

The name of Zach" Chandler will always be
associated with the heroic days of republican
ascendancy in the Senate and the most brilliant
period of republican party movements. The
Michigan stalwRrt was one of the strongest
characters in the senatorial oligarchv which
practically manipulated the government and
rehabilitated the Union on the basis of the re-
suits of the war. He was power in senatorial
debate, power in cabinet counsel aud q power
in party management. He was a man of rugged
nature and at tine same time was controlled by
the tenderest impulses. In possession of large
wealth accumulated by his own efforts. he lived
in elegance and entertained munfcently. Mrs
Chambers drawing rooms were thronged with
the distinguished personages in the higher life
of the capital during those days of great men
and great events.
The home circle of Senator and Mrs. Chand-
Ter was cheered by the presence of an only
daughter. Mary Chandler had many of the
strong traits Of her fathers character and not
a few OF the striking points of his appearance
and manner. refined by feminine contrasts and
gentleness. During the earlier years of her
residence at Washington she was finishing her
education. Her debut one of the great
social events of the capital. aud during the
seasons of her young ladyhood she was adj
mired as one of the bellies i'll the brilliant cir
Giles of fashion during the administrations of
Gen. Grant.
The devotion of the father to the daughter
tender impulses and domestic instincts of Mich
igan's stalwart Senator. This devotion was
reciprocal. not only in the home circle but in
the social life of the family.
Among the train of suitors for the hand of
Zach" Chambers daughter was young Rep
resentative of increasing fame and of an an
cient Newburg Mass family with an Ameri-
can lineage running back to within two de-
cades OF the landing of the pilgrims. BY the
force of his commanding abilities he was one
of the leaders OF the left in the body of which
he had been a member since the Forty first
Congress.
The marriage of Mary Chandler to Eugene
Hale was followed by one of the most interest
ing and brilliant seasons of social courtesies
which had been witnessed at Washington for
many years. 1t also led to the establishment
of a household which has ever since been pleas
antly associated with Washington life The
birth of each of the three sons of Mary Chand-
Ter was remembered by the proud grandfather
with check for $4,000. After several Years
passed IN Europe educating her sons Mrs Hale
has returned to Washington. The happiest
moments of the closing years OF the veteran
Senator'S life were passed in the enjoyment of
the company of his three grandsons. Mrs.
Chandler has joined her daughter to pass the
evening OF her days in the same SURROUNDINGS
She now contemplates the building of palatial
residence on one OF the most valuable and COM
handing sites in the city for her daughter and
grandchildren and to make home for herself
amid enjoyable associations during the rest of
her life.

constantly doing some kind act TO the poor and

Mrs. Stanford was Jane Lathrop, daughter
OF Dyer Lathrop, a successful merchant of
Albany, NY. In the same county Tn 1924
was born Leland Stanford. who, after an
academic education and study OF the law at
Albany, went to Port Washington, Wis, to
engage in his profession. In 1850, having
made progress in life, the young lawyer re-
turned to Albany and married Miss Lathrop,
whom he took with him to his Wisconsin home.
Two years after he joined his three brothers
in California and laid the foundation of the
vast wealth of which he is now the possessor.

In the month Of April, 1866, George F. Ed
nunds took his seat in the Senate of the United
States as the representative Of the body polite
OF the state OF Vermont. In the scale Of sena-
torial longevity he is the father of the higher
body Of Congress. The senior Senator from
Ohio would enjoy that honor by almost full
senatorial term had not the occupancy of the
post of fiscal minister of the Hayes admins
tration caused break in the line of conseeu-
tive senatorial service, covering period of
twenty-eight years. The colleague of the Sen
ator from yerm ont, who followed him in sena-
torisl honors, is the patriarch of Congress,
having entered the lower house in 1855. After
twelve years of parliamentary duty, associated
with one of the most notable tariff contro-
versies in the history Of Congress, in 1867 he
stepped into the place previously occupied by
Luke p. Poland. Senator Sherman was the
contemporary of Senator Morrill, in his debut
into the House of Representatives, but the
latter alone has the honor of thirty-fOur years
of uninterrupted congressional service.
