Viking Funeral Ship.

A Viking funeral ship, reputed 10
be at least 100 years DID, has been
recently discovered in Norway. Its
mortuary chamber contained the
bones Of two women, who, judging
from the size of the craft and its APP
pointments, evidently belonged to
some noble and wealthy family. The
vessel, which is seventy feet long and
sixteen and a half feet broad, was
dug out of tumulus two and half
miles from shore, on the farm OF
Oseberg, near Tonsherg. The treas
ure was not intact. At some remote
period, probably hundreds of years
ago, it had been unearthed by I'M
scrupulous visitors, who had pillaged
the mortuary chamber Of many OF
the curious relics undoubtedly de-
posted there in accordance with an
cient Morse traditions. But in other
parts of the ship, which had appar-
emily escaped the notice of the sacri-
legious intruders, was found a large
and extremely valuable collection OF
historic remains, including four
wheeled chariot, richly and quantity
decorated; four sledges, several beds,
lintels, a spinning wheel and va
fiety of kitchen utensils.-New York
Tribune.

Fortunately there was no great
depth of water below, and although
the undermost elephant and his
mahout were crushed to death, the
top one stood on the carcass appar-
emily uninjured, but of course Utterly
unable to extricate itself, the driver
managing to scramble out as only
natives or monkeys could do, and
thus saved his owl. life in the nost
miraculous manner.
The accident took place close TO
cantonments, and on the clrc~
stance being reported to the CT, q
in command, he at once orderA1f
working party from the regiment
90 and dig down to the living anlI
in the hope of saving him.
Accordingly, a hundred men, with
picks, shovels and other appliances
to commence the work, were sent out.
1t must be understood that this did
not consist only of digging away the
sides of the well, but it was also nee
essary to form a sloping road, up
which the elephant could travel after
they had reached him.
This was a long and laborious I'M
dertaking, and although the men
worked at it hard, being relieved by
fresh parties at intervals, it took
many hours before it was accom-
pIished, and night set in before they
had made any appreciate progress.

procured, and the work proceeded I'M
interruptedly throughout the night
During all this time it was pitiable
to watch the poor elephant standing
patiently at the bottom of the well.
and quite aware of what was being
done for his rescue; SO much so, that
instead OF, eating the bundles of hay
and Indian corn that were supplied to
him for food, he kept on piling them
underneath his feet SO as to raise
himself nearer to the level of the
we'll.
Meanwhile the excavation went on
steadily until about noon on the sec
ond day, when the poor beast, appar-
emily losing heart, gave loud trum-
pet, and died just within half an hour
Of the completion o. the work, much
to the disappointment of the men,
who had worked So heartily, and who
had SO nearly accomplished their
task.
Nothing remained now but to close
up the we'll and leave it. The ssSssa [,

currence is a large mound, which Is

a spot at which one of the most ex-
traordinary accidents ever recorded
took place It was, of course, i'm
possible to ascertain what was the
immediate cause of the death Of the
second elephant, but in all probable
| ity it was from some internal injury
received in the fall: but it was none
the less dish eartening that 1t should
have ensued just at the moment when

AN ELEPHANT.
BY COLONEL NJ g. THA.IT.
WV TTT7TTTsf


Some years ago, when was at
@aro1a, l happened to be witness Of
y nost extraordinary incident which
@DurreL to two government ele-
6ants.
Travelling in India was then very
different from what it is at the pres
ent day. Railways had not even been
commenced, and the distance from
one station to another had to be
traversed by marches. which, al
though occasionally tedious, were not
unpleasant, as they afforded an OPP
portunity Of seeing the country, and,
II taken during the cold season-as
was usually the case-of enjoying the
excellent sport which in those days
was to be found almost all over India.
Before commencing my story,
which may mention is true in all its
details, / should say that Baroda is
the capital Of the most powerful in
dependent State in the Western presi-
dency The Guicowar, or king. of
this principality was at that time
Khundee Rao.
Baroda was always favorite place
Of resort for the governors of Bonn
bay, who, whenever they paid visit
there, were received with much pomp
and ceremony, and entertained right
royalty by the Guicowar, their stay
being always made the occasion Of
shooting and hunting parties in the
we'll stocked royal preserves by day,
and of fetes by night.
On this particular occasion the
governor of Bombay, who had been
making tour through Kattiawar
and Gurejat during the cold season,
had cignified his intention Of taking
BoA on his return journey. and
also(3 staying there few days. 81
N Srder to provide suitably for his
resistance, it was necessary to pitch
a camp so as to accommodate not
only the governor himself, but also
his suite and large retinue which
accompanied him.
A considerable quantity OF camp
equipage was accordingly ordered
down from Ahmedabad, the nearest
station. a distance OF about sixty
miles from Baroda. For this purpose
government elephants were used fol
carrying the tents, and this brings
me to the real subject Of my story.
On the very day that the convoy
reached Baroda, two Of the elephants
came literally to loggerheads. The
huge animals began a regular fight
butting at and prodding each other;
and. Notwithstanding all the effort:
OF their mahouts, or drivers. they
continued until one got the better o.
It. and having vanquished his enemy
who turned tail, he pursued him a
. numbering gallop across the plain.
So excited were they that neithel
Of them perceived blind we'll which
