Theophilus F. Smith, a veteran of
the Sixth Regiment, C. V., died at his
home in Darien, Wednesday morning.
Smith enlisted in February, 1862, and
was attached to Company B. He was
a bugler, and, according to Past Com-
mander G. W. Anderson, he was chief
bugler of the regiment and always led
Company D. From the time of his
enlistment until peace was declared
Smith was in every engagement where
his regiment took part. At Fort
Wagner, Gen. Strong asked Col. Chat-
field for a bugler. Smith was sent for.
The General asked him if he knew all
the calls. “Yes, sir,” said the boy
from the Sixth; “every note but the re-
treat.” “That’s the kind of men we
want,” was the General’s comment.
He was at one time a cowmander of
Hobbic Post, and was also a Past Coun-

The 033-13.. Elephant'at Work.
The elephant has his part to play,
also, as a labor saving machine. Num—
bers of elephants are employed in roll-
ing the heavy pieces of timber, cut
in the forests, into a. place of storage,
, and Very interesting it is to see the
huge brute drop down upon his knees
in order to wrap his trunk more firm—
ly about a heavy log then slowly rise
and solemnly follow the coolie, who
is to show him where he is to deposit
his burden. And so cunning does he
become the: when the noonday bell
rings for tiw- 'I'CIOIIES’ dinner hour, the
elephant r;:,~:..;;-:2.-Izes the signal, and not
one stroZ-J: more work can he be in-
educed do until his appetite has
also been satisfied. This seems to bor—
der on the exaggerated, but no one
who-has seen a werking elephant at his
tasks will marvel at any additional
signs of intelligence the creature may
exhibit. The elephant we are familiar
with in the menagerics, all dwarfed
and hampered by captivity and con-
finement, can give very little idea 0f
the same animal in his native country,
where he can use his intellectual DOW-
ers to some useful purpose.—--Outing‘.
A Singular Find.
A very singular find is recorded in a
London magazine. Some ivory cut«
ters, while at work upon an elephant’s
tusk. discovered the head of an asse-
gai or African spear embedded in it.
This tusk was being cut up for knife
handles. It is surmised that the spear
was thrown at a young elephant, and‘
that the head broke off and lodged in
the hollow part of one of its tusks.
Then, as the tusk grew, the spear-
head was pushed further and further
towards the tip, and at length the
Ivory grew round the steel blade it-
self.
