Intelligence. The animal in question
was mere baby when he was sent by
an. Indian prince to England as a pres

f1e was shipped as a deck passenger
by one of the Indian mail steamers
from bombay, and as he had but at
tanned the height OF wel1-grown calf,
and was always most docile and tract
able, he was permitted to have the run:
OF the decks for an hour or two every

owing to the penchant he had for care
fully picking up'every loose coil of rope
that he could find and then throwing
it over the side, being, as Jack said, "as
bad as a naval lieutenant for keeping
the decks tidy"
Among other acquaintance that he
formed was that of the ships baker,

dainties with which he was petted.
Here he took to making regular

stead of the cake, he received blow
on the trunk with the rolling pin. ~ y
The blow was not severe, but the
Bos'un turned tail and went trumpet

that would enable him to watch for his
assailant. Before long he saw the bak-
&er leave his shop and mischief being
his object rather than malice, he
spromp pity marched down, and, with a
vigorous sweep Of his trunk he swept all
the shelves in the bakery clear, until
loaves, ..tarts, cakes, patty pans, and
cake tins lay in confusion on the deck.
This achieved, he bolted like a school
boy, and was locked up in disgrace;
but, upon the circumstances being
known, the popular verdict was in his
favor. and he was allowed his liberty

COroncts at Auction.
Tro IN the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Some queer commodities find their way
into the auction room, but II is not every
day that a coronet may be picked up
bargain in a salesroom. This was what
happened yesterday, when marquis cor
onet was put up and knocked down by a
Conduit street aucIloneer. II oou enough
that such an adornment should find its way
into the vulgar atmosphere OF furniture
dealers and brokers' men, but that any
body should want to buy a secondhand
coronet is odder still. The biddngs, IL is
true, We're not keen. They began at
couple Of guDeas and went up to f5, at
which the coronet went into the possession
OF some apparently plebsian person-certain-
ly not marquis. But then the article was
no longer practicable" as they say on the
stage. The original owner. or possibly IAN
heir or an assignee" had so little use for IL
that he had cut 1t in two and mounted IL as
a pair of wall brackets.
1t is commonly supposed that peers coro-
nets, like royal diadems. are of gold That
Is not so. They are of silver. richly gilt"
as in the case of yesterdays bauble. This
particular one bore the hall mark Of 1851
which suggests that it may have been made
for the coronation of William ". That
there should be so little competition for
coronets in their material form is explained
by the rarity with which they are worn.
There are probably not half a dozen peers
living who have ever had one. They are
worn only at coronation. and then, at the
moment when the Archbishop of Canter-
bury places the crown on the soyereign's
head, the assembled peers and peeresses
simultaneously put on their silver circlets
with their crimson velvet caps. Indeed, it
may be shrewdly suspected that most peers
do not even possess this tangible badge of
their rank.

Presently 1t was announced that he was

CHAPTER XII.
The Teynt.

Two days had gone by, and at the ap-
pointed hour three figures, wrapped in
dark cloaks might have been seen walking
swiftly toward the little entrance of the
temple fortress. Although it was near to
midnight, the city was still astir with men,
for news had reached it that Ithobal was
advancing at the head of tens of thousands
of the warriors of the tribes, and that
within the next, few days siege would be-
gin. Late as it was.rf the council had been
but just summoned to the palace of Saxon
to consider the conduct Of the defense,
