A Clever Elephant.
From Col. Davidson's Memories"

From Col. Davidson's Memories"
Hyder's cakes were baked in very
simple oven, the oven, in fact, so
often alluded to in Scripture. Ic con-
sisted of large earthenware All Ba-
ba sort of jar, in the bottom OF
which a fire of dried grass and twigs
was kindled; and when the embers
were still red. the cakes were stuck
all around the inside of the jar to
bake. One day Hyder's mahout had
gone through this process, which he
completed by covering the jar with a
lid on which he heaped some stones,
and then went into the bazaar, leav-
ing Hyder in comfortable anticpa-
tion of his dinner.
The time arrived for taking out
the cakes, but not SO the mahout.
At length Hyder's patience was en-
hausted, and the cakes were running
considerable risk of being burnt;
when, tugging at his pickets, he man.
aged to get rid ofhis front fastenings,
and wheeling round, he found that
he could just reach the oven with his
trunk. He cautiously lifted off the
stones, removed the lid, and ate the
cakes! He then put on the lid, and
replacing the stones one by one most
carefully, returned to his place; and
if he had not been watched in this
mannuver by Mr.. Boyde, the ma
hout might have wondered to his
life's end how the cakes had disap-
peared.

A Case of Disrespect.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A colored man at Augusta, Ca,
having been hired to drive a party of
New York and Boston gentlemen out
to Il plantation five or six miles away,
felt his head swell accordingly.
Half way out the road was some
what obstructed by an OK cart which
had broken down. There was plenty
of room to pass, but the colored .Je-
hu saw u favorable opportunity to
show Off, and so he drew rein and eX-
claimed:
"Yo pusson dar!"
"What yo' want?" replied the
other.

Our Historic Funny Men.

darpers weekly.
Where are our historic funny men?
Wedo not know of them; or if we do,
we are antiquarians who search for
the anomalies of a past time. There
must have been laughter in the re
volution. There must have been Joy
way back in the stern days of the
sterner Puritans. There must have
been some quick-witted New.Eng-
lander who saw the funny side of
Winthrop, and recognized the hu-
mors of John Endicott's bigotry.
Was there no one in the Continental
Congress who ever made q Joke except
that grewsome one about the gal
lows and hanging which greeted the
signers of the Declaration? Was
Goveneur Morris the only man who
had enough of the courage of good
fellowship to slap George Washing
ton on the back? Did no one Jest
while the Constitution was being
framed by those solemn old gentle
men whose lips seem never to have
parted in a smile?
No one can doubt that there were
jokers in those days as there are
now; but then us now they went their
way with the generation that they
delighted, and succeeding ages heard
nothing of them. OF this, however,
we may be certain, that the war of
the Revolution would have come to
an inglorious end. That the Declara-
tion of Independence could not have
been adopted, that the Constitutions
al Convention would have ignomini-
ously failed, had there been no testers
in the land. The spirits of men could
not thave withstood the strain if there
had been nothing in public life but
the solennity of which we read.

Fame After Death.

1t is pathetic to read of the pos
thumous fame OF Adam Lindsay
Gordon, the Australian poet. Twen-
ty years have passed since, reduced
to dire pecuniary straits, he shot
himself on Brighton Beach, near Mel
bourne. Now we are informed, on
the authority of the circulating IL
braries, that his poetical works are
extremely popular" in the wealthy
city where he starved when alive.
The Australian publishers have made
q fortune out of the fresh and vigor.
GUS poems that brought their au-
thor little, if any, recompense.
Here is an instance of the con-
temptuous Indifference with which
Gordon's remarkable gift of open air
song was treated during his lifetime.
One of the leading Australian dailies
thus noticed his Bush Ballads" ON
their first publication: 1--WE havere-
ceived n volume of poems entitled
Bush Ballads by A. l.. Gordon.
The book is highly creditable to the
printer, the paper maker and the
binder" The same journal publish
ed within the last few years, without
a blush or an apology of any sort,
two columns of a glowing eulogy OF
the London edition of Gordon's 8
poems. 1t is the old story of the
stoning of the prophets, Of Keats
and The Quarterly. OF the marble
honors that are reserved for q mans
ashes and the tribute that comes
just q lifetime too late.
Can honors voice provoke the silent dust,
Or tattery soothe the dull, cold ear Of
death?

The Latest Cheese Story.

The stories which are told of the
effect of the odor OF strong cheese
upon nostrils unaccustomed to it are
pretty numerous, but to the list per-
haps one more may be added, since
it is genuine.
In the suburbs of Boston lives q
merchant who is something of an
epicure, and not infrequently he
brings home with him from the city,
on his return from business, some
tid-bit or other. Not long since he
found some particularly choice Ro-
quefort cheese, and the day being
Saturday he took piece home with
him for his Saturday dinner.
Arrived at the station he was met
by his man with the buggy and in
driving home he put the bundle on
bottom of the carriage, where it lay
forgotten until the next day. At
dinner he remembered the delicacy
and sending for Patrick he asked
what had been done with the pack
age of cheese which he left on the
bottom of the buggy.
"Was that chease, sor?" respond.
ed Patrick, in evident surprise,
"Yes, ofcourseit was cheese. What
did you do with it?''
"Well, upon me soul, sor, it never
inferred mecomprehinsion that it was
chease. 1t smelled that powerful,
sor, that thought sure it were dead,

Writing with Both Hands.

Owing to the popularity of type
writer's penmnnship is becoming a
lost accomplishment among bust.
ness men; but one gentleman OF this
city writes letters with both hands at
once. He is E. C. Cockey, of the
Western Union building. and he con-
sented to show a reporter how to
make n manifold machine OF himself.
"Atter endless practice" he said,

of writing with both hands at once,

ernble writing of q business nature.
Of late years, however, all my writ
ing has been done by dictation to q

Mr.. Cockey drew pad from a
drawer in his desk, and taking alead
pencil in each hand he wrote the re-
porter's name toward the left with
the left hand. and toward the right
with the right hand.
"This is one way of writing it -
said Mr.. Cockey, "but perhaps you
would like to see it written this way, -
and he wrote the name upside down

ROBERT M'GEE. employed as a
ieamster. and started with a small train
to Fort Union, N. NJ. On the 11th of
July, near where the city of Great Berd
now stands. Little Turtles band Of Sioux
warriors attacked the train. The whites
fought long aud well. but were over.
powered and every one killed except
young McGce.
1t seems that the Indians at first in.
tended to spare him for some reason, but
after compelling him 10 witness the tor.
ture of others not quite dead they de-.
clded to kill him also. The chief shot
him with the elegant pistol he carried
as Lincoln souvenir. and three spears
were run into his back as he lay upon
the ground. Little Turtle then tore of
his scalp and struck him twice with a
tomahawk. facturing the skull at each
blow. The savage departed and in a
few hours a marty of soldiers arrived on
their way to Fort Larned. Sorrowfully
they gathered the corpses for burial, but
perceiving signs of life in McGce they
bound up his wounds and took him to
the fort.
The surgeons exhausted their skill
upon him; the struggle was long and
terrible, but he lived-as remarkable a
recovery us any related in history. The
details were laid before President Lin.

After Life.

1t cannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is a bubble cast upon
the ocean of eternity, to float d.
moment upon it's surface and then
go into nothingness and darkness
forever. Else why is it that the high
and glorious aspirations leap like
angels from the temples of our hearts
and forever wander abroad, unsatis-
fed? Why is it that the rainbow
and the cloud come over with q
beauty that is not OF earth and then
pass off and leave us to muse on
their faded loveliness? Why is it
that the stars which hold their festi-
val around the midnight throne are
set above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mocking US with
their unapproachable glory? And,
finally, why is it that bright forms
of human beauty are presented to
the view and then taken from US,
leaving the thousand streams of the
affections to flow back in Alpine tor
rents upon our hearts? We are
born for q higher destiny than earth.
There is a realm where the stars will
be spread out before us like the ISL
ands that slumber on the ocean; and
where the beautiful beings that here
pass before us like visions will stay
in our presence sGIever.-George D.

A man with eleven weeks Of Wii5' ii,l;
hair and o long growth Of beasd
stepped into q barber shop in On
of our two cities the other day ana
sat down. Probably he was not IL
his best mood. At any rate he looked
cross, even though it was his next
turn.
"Next," said the barber.
"Tll wait for Sam," said the man
with the hair and beard, and as hs
said it he kicked at the dog and
looked about as pleasant as the
circular saw in motion.
"All right" said the barber with
emphasis. "Next."
The next" got into the chair and
left the man who was cross sitting
by the window, watching for Sam.
Half an hour passed. The shop was
full and there seemed to be good
deal of amusement among all except
the man who was waiting for Sam.
One by one the customers kept COM
ing in. The clock hands passed from
6:3O p. m. to 1880 p. M, and then to
500 p. m. At about this time the
door opened and head popped in.
Heard from Sam yet??' said the
head.
"Yes," replied the barber.
GLOW is he; having a good time?"
Guess he is. At any rate he says
lie is"
"When do you expect him home?'
"ln about three weeks"
The door slammed after the ques.
toner, just as the man with the
beard, who was waiting for Sam,
jumped to his feet. "Wh-what did
you say?" shouted he. "Did you
say Sam wasn't coming for three
weeks?"
The berrepressed his smile, and
in voice that was low and even
toned, he said: "Yes, sir. Sam is
up country, and we expect him back
in about two weeks and a half. But
if you want to wait for him we'll
make up a bed for. you right here
on'-but the rest was lost by the
door slamming on the retiring form
of the man who was waiting for Sam.
