party of Rtc!t ord men, camping at

wrapped in mosquito netting in catching
m nnows In the shallow channel which
conpccts the two lakes, when they felt a
vicious tug and then their contrivance
dartcd from their grasp and was not
,cen agan. OF course, "thc big fish"
was held responsible for this theft, as
also for the loss of leathcrn band and
brass bell which had been rnthlessly
torn from COW as she was drinking
water from the lake.
During the fall of 1890 fishermen on
the lower lake reported having heard
strange noises in and above the water,
sometimes like the muii'ed tolling of
bell aud then again like the upsetting OF
Il painful of siverware. One man. who
was on the lake at night, said the noises
he heard sounded like a charivari. The
source of all these sounds was a mystery.
Finally Farmer Nosburg. who knows
mere about the lake than anybody, made
up his mind to discover the cause of tho
disturbance. Cne evening when the air
was still he pnt ont in boat with a shot

could compare with the monster ahead
of him. Putting all his strength to his
oars Farmer Nosburs made chase. OF
a sudden the big fish" raised again, and
for the second time the bell rang dis

metallic jingle. Farmer Nosburg Is

After Fifteen Years.

A few miles out of the city of
Bankok there is a mineral spring,
and near it bungalow much fire.
quented by the Europeans in the city.
An EngliSthman says that one even
ing as he rode up to this bungalow, a
gentleman was alighting from his
howdah at the entrance.
As soon as he had dismonnted, his
elephant was moved to one side, and
my driver, who was seated on the
head of my elephant. ordered it to
advance. The instant he spoke, the
animal which had moved aside to
make room for us tapped his great
ears, and then turned sharply around,
facing my driver.
Suddenly, without the least warm
ing, he stretched out his long trunk
and wrapped it about the body of my
man. Then, before any one had
time to interfere. he raised him high
in the air and brought him to the
ground with tremendous force! AS
the poor fellow struck the earth we
could hear his bones crack. But the
elephant was not done with him.
The next moment he had placed his
huge foot on the head and chest of
the PROSTATE driver. When he raised
it again. all semblance of life was
gone from the crushed. mutilated
body.
The gentleman whose elephant had
committed the terrible deed was
greatly distressed. He said that he
had purchased the animal from the
kings pen. that it had always been
exceedingly gentle and well-disposed.
The animal was blind, one eye having
been put ont by an attendant fifteen
years previous.
1t was my driver. I learned the
next day, who had put out the ele-
plants eye. He was at the time one
of the guards at the kings stock pen,
and. for some misdcmcannrc committed
by the animal. had thrown a stone.
which struck the creature full in the
eye.
The elephant was so enraged there
after at the sight Of him. that, fear
ing g" his life. the man left the
place. But the injured animal had
hidcd his time. and after fifteen years
of waiting had terribly punished his
enemy.

It is the common boast of the te1e-
graph monopolists that they furnish
telegraph facilities in this country
which are better and cheaper than any
other country. No more fagitious
falsehood was ever put on dress parade
in the daily papers in this country.
We had occasion a few days ago to
send a telegram-ten words-to Free
port, on the Sacramento river, eight
miles this side of Sacramento City.
We were compelled to pay 80 cents for
such service. The charge to Sacra-
mento is 25 cents-two and one-half to
FIVE times as much rs it should be.
The telegraph mail should be like our
other mail uniform in cost to the
people and at the lowest possible rate
consistent with meeting the cost to the
government On this basis, beginning
with ten cents for ten words, the price
will soon come down, under an honest
administration, to one-half that sum.
Chas. Z. Buell., of Springfield, Mass,
telegraph instrument maker, and one
Of the most experienced telegraph line
managers in the country, testified Feb
ruary Is, 1885, that it was his "beliei
that the entire property of the West
ern Union telegraph company could
be shown to be worth not much, ii
anything, over s10,000.O00." And he
indorsed Summers bill, as providing
an ample fund (s25, ,000, ,O0O), for the
construction of a genuine postal tele-
graph. Canada had a uniform 25-cent
for ten word messages in 1872; 2;
cents for ten-word messages between
all points. The Western Union could
not ''stand" that example and sugges
tion, right alongside of their lines il
this country, so our monopolist,
bought up the Canadian lines.-San
