AN ELEPHANT DRIVE.
AN Infrassrma STORY OF ADVEN-
runs IN INDIA.
‘li‘nparalleled Event in the History or
‘ Elephant Capture-Forming Lines of
.1 Fire Around the Captives—Luck of the
' Hunters.
Mr. G. Sanderson, the superintendent of
the government Kheddahs at Dacca, made
an unprecedented capture of elephants in the
Gare bills. The details of this exploit are
described by Mr. Sanderson himself:
“The 14th We began the drive in the fore-
noon. The elephants were, contrary to our
expectation and to their habits hitherto, all
together in one large gathering. To arrive at
the stockade they had first to reach a small,
level plautcau on the top of ' 'a hill, from
which they were to be deflected to their left
down a slope, at the foot 'of which was the
stockade, well screened in the jupgle. The
two guiding palisades or wings, converging
to the gate of the stockade. were run
up the hillside the distance of some 200 yards,
at fifty yards apart. Three fire lines were
made through the jungle across the space be-
tween the guiding palisades, one joining them
at their extrdme ends. one half way down
and one about sixty yards from the gate. On
these lines dry grass was stacked in bundles
and hidden by green leaves, ready to be fired
“when the elephants had crowd the paths.
"The drive was well managed, the herd being
kept together and not overdriven, which often
causes a herd to break up into small parties.
The moment the last had crossed the outer-
most fire line the spies sounded their rattles,
and as if by magic (I had not spared a few
dozen match boxes among the men) a crack-
ling line of flame extended along the hillside,
joining the extreme ends of the palisade and
cutting of! retreat. Immediately the hitherto
comparative silence of the drive was broken
by yelling and blank firing from all sides,
and the elephants hurried forward in a
crowd, no longer following any leader,.but
each striving not to be last. They soon
crossed the second fire line. and at asignal
from a foghorn—barely audible in the din of
elephants and men—active fellows raced for-
ward from both ends with torches, and in a
few seconds this line also was a wall of fire.
“The third line was similarly fired when
the herd had passed, and now the fun waxed
fast and furious. Some of the elephants went
into the stockade at once, but a huge male.
with the right tusk only (such elephants are
called Gunesh and certain casts of Hindoos
reverence them) took up bk positioninthe
gateway, which was only eleven feet wide,
and no elephant could pass him. The scene
now was extraordinary, and Co]. and Mia.
Graham Smith, frbm; a platform in a tree
near, had an excellent view of it. The space
between the converging palisades was tightly
packed by a struggling mass of elephants for
many yards from the to. Every vestige of
jungle had disap , and the men were
akirmishing with blank cartridges and torches
of blazing grass up to thin twenty yards or
le- of the elephants, an a shower of sticks
and clods was kept up over the paiisadee by
those outside. The roaring of the youngsters
of the herd, which were being trampled and
squeezed, combined with the noise of rattles,
guns and of the fire consuming the
jungle between the palisades in the
direction whence the . elephants had
come. made it impossible to make one's
self heard by any one, even at one’s elbow.
I fired several charges of shot into the rear-
most of the elephants, though really I
thought them little to blame for not ‘moving
on’; it was not for want of will or pushing.
as the angle of their hind legs as they bored
desperately into the mass before them mutely
testified! At last the opposition gave way;
the Gunesh and others which were stopping
the way were borne onward into the stockade
by the pressure behind, and the animals in
the rear made renewed exertions to get away
from the terrible sights and sounds so close
behind them. '
“When I saw the elephants struggling be-
fore the gate I never behaved that so many
(136 as it turned out) could by any possibility
get into a stockade 215 feet in circumference.
The area was even less than that of a circle
of similar circumference, as our stockadee
have thirteen straight sides. of fifteen feet
each and the gate side of twenty feet. We
never expected our stockades would hold over
100 elephants; sixty-five was the greatest
number we had ever impounded before,
though, I must say they had plenty of room
when the resistance was overcome and the
final struggle to get into the stockade began.
The thing seemed impossible after seeing the
elephants half covering a hillside or trooping
along in single file. One wave to the man
who stood over the gate rope with hisax, and
the .ponderous gate came down on to the
backs of the last few elephants, and as they
struggled from under it and fell into position
it was quickly lashed by many willing hands.
“Immediately everybody went to work to
strengthen the stockade. It was never really
in danger, but we made assurance doubly
sure. A supplemental stockade was at once
commenced by barricading off twenty yards
of the space between the guiding palisades
outside the gate. The elephants were pounded,
at 1 p. m., but it was not until 9:30 p. in. that
all was ready. We then hauled up the gate
and relieved them from the black hole like
confinement of the stockade by admitting"
them into the new one. It was filled at once,
but really the crowd in the first stockade
hardly seemed decreased. Early next morn-
ing we shut off some thirty-five elephants in
the supplemental stockade by closing the
gate, and the tame elephants were then ad-
mitted, and by evening had secured this lot
and removed and tied them up in the forest
near. At night the gate between the stock-
ades was again raised to give the remainder
room, and wild plaintain trees and other suc-
culent, cooling fodder were supplied to them.
By next morning we hadhollowed out two
tree trunks twenty feet long and pushed their
ends through the timbers of the stockade,
and by. keeping men with buckets carrying
water from the Gene] stream. which flowed
within a few yards of the stockade, we sup-
plied the thirsly animals with plenty of cold,
clear mountain water for which they seemed
heartily thankful, and which, in addition to
drinking, they showered over their bodies.
The third day, the 17th, the last of the ele-
phants was removed and the whole number
tied in~a largo clearing in the forest near.”—

Seafarlng a Hard Life.
Swedes man the Dauntless for exactly the
same reason that English 'sailors grow rarer
and more rare on the decks of British ships.
Sedaring is the hardest life at which a man
earns his living. It was once well paid by
comparison with land work. It is not in
these days of floating teakettles, and wher-
ever, as in this country, life is comfortable on
land, or in England cven tolerable. men will
no longer goto sea. So well is this under-
stoodin England that it has come to be a
proverb that no man will endure the hard-
ships of the life unlem he begins as a boy, and
the practical result is that seamen come

_ Concrete for Telegraph Poles.
The Builder gives an account of some novel
applications of cement concrete, which have
recently been made by Mr. David Wilson.
The most curious of these is perhaps to be
found in the use of the concrete for making
telegraph poles, which are now regularly
mode for the markets, and are found strong,
durable and very littlo'heavier than wooden
ones. These concrete poles are made, it is
hardly necessary to say, uponnskcleton of
wire netting, which is set up in a cylindrical
mold, having a core set inside. The concrete
is then poured in at the top of the cylinder
and allowed 'to harden, and if the materials
are good the poles are very serviceable.
Wooden blocks imbedded in the concrete serve
for attaching the arms. The same principle
isapplied to the formation of sewer pipes,
which are easily made, of nine feet in diam-
eter, and, when formed over two cylinders of
wire netting. are very strong, durable and
cheap. Cylindrical sections made in the same
way, with a bottom added, are found to an-
swer admirably for water tanks, needing no
painting. and being free from any liability [to
rust or decay—Boston Transcript.
A Hottentot Countess.
Lord Stamford, who succeeded to the earl-
dom a few years ago on the death of the late
Lord Stamford and Warrington. has long
been resident in South Africa. He inhabits
a Wigwam of corrugated iron at Wymberg, .
and base. stone built bungalow on the sea-
shore at »Muzenberg. He married a black
wife, and has by her a dusky daughter, Lady
Mary Grey, who, when she arrives at years
of discretion, will be, no doubt, a unique if
not welcome addition to the ranks of the
“upper ten thousand” at home. Let us hope
that his lordship will have a son by the Hot
tentot countess. It would make 11. mm change

GERONIMO AT EASE.
THE APACHE CHIEF waves A
LETTER TO HIS FAMILY.
The Captive Indian Braves at Fort Pick-
ena-Natchez and Mnngus—Ratlons for
the Nomads—Quiet. Submissive, Tract-
able and Industrlona. -
With two exceptions all the captives are
under size. The epidermis dark brown—al-
most black in some; the hair long, black,
perfectly straight, and fantastically bound by
knots and handkerchief about the head; eyes
small, keen, and black as jet; face broad and
features sharp; hands and feet sufficiently
small to satisfy a Vere De Vere, and body
thin and lithe as that of the mountain lion;
facial expression sinister, furtive and cunning
-—as becomes their past environment. Five
months of contact with civilization have de-
veloped latent possibilities, of which their
reasonably neat and clean appearance is an
index.
Three of the seventeen merit, 'or demerit,
special notice. Thme are Geronimo, Natchez
and Mangus. The former is not, as is pepu-
lariy supposed, the hereditary chief of his
tribe. Like Sitting Bull, he is a medicine
man, and like him a chief by selection. Head
and brain of his clansmen, his influence over
them is unbounded. Short and about of figure,
with large square head, high slanting fore-
head, hooked nose, piercing restless eyes,
Ethiopean skin and hand of feminine size and
softnm, be exhibits some amiable weaknm
hardly in keeping with his reputed fondn—
for “her. ” Rarely does a visitant escape from
his proximity without repeated handshaking,
that may or may not imply an invitation to
call again. How old he is he doesn’t know,
but he does lmow that thirty-two years have
passed away since he married his first wife.
If this event occurred at the age of 18, when
Apache braves generally marry, he must now
be about 50. Geronimo is a much married
man, having gone through the nuptial cere-
mony no less than five times. Two of his
wives are now prisoners at St. Augustine.
The hope of seeing them again is a powerful
incentive to subordination and prompt obedi- ‘
once. He and his companions out to be dovet-
ed husbands and parents if conduct be in con-
cord with the tender compositions regularly -
transmitted from Fort Pickens to Fort
Marion. The following is a copy of one' of
Geronimo’s letters to his two wives and son
and daughter, dictated of course
onaonmo’s Lnrrnn.
“My Dear Wives, Faith-si-es-ia and Tens, and
my son and daughter:
“Are you at Fort Marion? If sohow do
you like it there? Have you plentytoeat,’
and do you sleep and drink wall? Send me a
letter and tell me all the news. Ian: very
well satisfied here, but if I only had you with
me again would be more so. I work every
day, except Sundays. It is very healthy "to
work. My work is not hard. It consists of
hoeing and raking in and around the fort. It
seems to me the Great Father and God are
very closely united. I do hope he will let us
seeone another soon. As sure as the trees
bud and bloom in the spring, sosureis my
hope of seeing you again. Talking by paper-
In very good, but when you see one’s lips
move and hear their voice it is much better.
I saw Gen. Mileaheard him speak, and locked
into his eyes, and believed what he told me,
and I still think he will keep his word. He
told me that I would see you soon, also see a
fine country and lots of people. The people
and thecountry I have seen, but not you.
The sun rises and sets here. just the same
as in our country, but the water here
is salt. The government is good, and don
not like to see. the Indian impowd on. It has
givenus pants, coats with pockets on and
shoes, and enougbto eat. I think of God, the
president and you in the same light. I like
you so well. When I get your letter I will
think well ever it. I hope you think the same
of me as I do of you. Ithink you have infin-
ence with the sun, moon and stars. If the
government would only give us a reservation,
so we could support ourselves—obi wouldn’t
itbefine? We are at peace now, and by
God’s help will remain so. There arp seven—
teen of us here, and not one thinks or acts
bad. Everybody is well and contented.
Chatto is a bad man, and has caused as lots
of~trouble. His tongue is like the rattle-
snake’s—forked. Do not let him hear a word
of this letter. Do what is right, no matter
how you may suffer. Write to me soona
long letter. Your husband, Gnaomno.” ,
Natchez, the true hereditary chief, is a fine
specimen of Indian manhood, over six feet
high, erect, well proportioned, grave and dig-
nified under his weight of 30 years. The rest
of the band treat him with pronounced re-
spect. His words are few, and his dislike of
that fierce light which beats upon royalty of
all grades most emphatic.

A LUCKY QUARTER.
A MILLIONAIRE’S 25 CENT PIECE"
IN A $1,000 CASE. ‘
It Made Bil Fortune at Faro—Then It
Caused the Death of a Friend—How
is “'as Lost arid Found in the wads of
the West.
In that part of Fifth avenue where all the
houses are palaces there is one owned by a
millionaire from the Pacific slope who, after
messing a fortune, came to this city to enjoy
the luxury which great wealth put at his dis-
posal. Beyond the parlors, which are filled
with rare objects of art from all over the
world, the rich man has his study. The most
noticeable thing in the room is a small table
which stands next to a big rosewood desk.
There is nothing on the table save an ex-
quisitely carved gold case with a loss lid.
Inside the case, resting on the soft ve vet, lies
a common everyday quarter of a dollar. A
few days ago, while a reporter was inter-
viewing tho California millionaire on a ques-
tion of western politics, he found it impossi-
bletokeep his eyes from wandering to the
$1,011) case and its twenty-five cent piece.
The millionaire, seeing the reporter’s evident
curiosity, took the piece of money from its
satin lined resting place and handing it to
the reporter said:
“You see that this coin is marked in such a
way that there is no mistaking it. (The let-
ters G. W. , with a star before and after them, I
were deeply engraved in the center of-‘the
piece of money.) It was the first given me in
San Francisco inasaloon. I gave the bar-
keeper a $5 gold piece, and‘among the change
I noticed this marked coin. I picked it out
and putting it in another pocket remarked
to my friends that I would keep it'as a pocket
piece. I was as poor as poverty in those
days, but, like every one else, I played faro
every time I had money enough to buy a
stack of chips. That night]. get round to
Jim Moon’s game, and, as usual. before I quit
I was cleaned out and had not a dollar left'
in the world. The next morning when I wentto:
work I was told that the man who employed
me had decided to move to Sacramento
and my valuable services were no longer
needed. I had had no breakfast, and began
feeling in my empty pockets for some stray
cointoget a cup of coifee. To my intense
surprise I found that quarter. I then sat
down and argued with myself whether I
should spend my last cent to get something to
'eat or if I should go back to the faro bank,
where I had lost my money the night before, '
and make a final effort to pull out square.
A marina: FOR 25 ours.
“The gambling passion was strong in me
forty years ago, and I decided to take the
chances and bet-my last quarter. Back to
the gambling hell I hurried. The game had..
just opened, and the first turn of the cards
was just being made. Dollar chips were the
smallest ones in use then. So I threw dow'n
my quarter, between the 6, 7 and 8, and then
went over to the sideboard and poured my~
self out a glass of whisky, determined to have
. a drink for my money anyway. When I .
went back to the table I found two chips in
the place of my?) cents. I reached over to
pick them up, but before I could do so the
dealer turned the cards and again I won. I
played without thought of my empty stomach
for three hours, and quit with 8400. Before
leaving I paid the dealer 01 for my marked
quarter. Then I went out and had a break-
fast fit for the gods. Every day for two
~weeks I gambled, and every dawaon. I
kept that coin always with rue, and soon I
had over 82,000 in a canvas bag. One night,
as I was leaving the game, I met an old
woman who begged from me money enough
to get something to eat. I had, as usual, been
winning and was flushed with success. To re-
fuse a woman money for food when luck was
all running my way seemed heartless, soI
reached down in my pocket and gave her the
first coin I'inet. WhenI reached home I
coached everywhere for my luckpiece, but it
was gone. I had given. it ,to the beggar
woman. The next day I lost heavily and de-
termined to play no more until I found my
quarter. It seemed a himsless task tofind
one particular piece of money, but I never
gave up hope and always looked carefully at
every piece of money I received in change.
At last I was successful. In the same bar
room where I first got my quarter I received
it again. I was so elated that I treated the
house to champagne. That night, for the
last. time in my life, I gambled at cards 'and.
won $11,000. 1' went: to Nevada soon after
and began to speculate in mines and in the
course of time I made what people call a be-
nanza fortune.
A FATAL STROKE OF LUCK.
“The only other time that quarter ever left
moi lost rho best friendI ever had. Poor
fellow he never had any luck, everything he
touched failed, and when I met him in Vir-
ginia City two years after his arrival on the
Pacific slope he was in as hard luck as any
man [ever saw. I put him in the way of
making some money, but everything he got
he lost at fare. One day he heard me tell the
story of my quarter and asked me 'to loan it
to him to see if it would change his luck; he
promised not to part with the coin, so I
granted his request. He went to the game
and put a 35 piece with my quarter on it in
the pot, that is, betwe'n the ace, deuce, king
and queen. He then folded his arms and
rested his head on them. Turn after turn
was made, yet he never once looked up. As
card after card was turned murmurs of sur-
prise pamed around the table. The men on
each side of my friend nudged him, but he
never raised his head. The whole four cards
won out 11d when the deal was over my
friend h $10,752 piled up in the middle of
the table. The dealer asked him to rake
down his money and let the new deal begin.
Yet he never moved. Some one. thinking he
was drunk and had gone to sleep, shook him -
roughly by the shoulder. Heavily he fell to.
the floor. Every rough man there was
shocked to find him dcad.‘ The strain had
been too much for him, and his heart had
stopped beating. Later I cashed his chips
and sent them 10 his mother, who died think-
ing her son had earned it by hard work. I
had to pay the gambler $100 for my quarter,
and it has never left me since.”—New York

How Grant and McClellan Escaped.
Now that Gen. Grant and Gen. McClellan
are both dead it is somewhat difilcult to test
the truth of the story that they were pre-
vented from becoming business associates in
the Nicaragua scheme only by information of
the failure of Grant& Ward. This news
reached them at the moment fixed for signing
the paper by which McClellan was to have
been made chief engineer of the canal com-
pany of which Grant was to have been presi-
dent. ' Whatever may be the facts, the story
does not offend against the dramatic unities
in the point of time. The appearance of such
a notification at the critical moment is a.
climax worthy of a melodrama—New York

Success In Money Making.
Eighty years ago an awkward, ungainly
country boy was keeping store for his uncle in
Anne Arundel county, about forty miles from
Baltimore. He was shrewd and attentive.
He made more money out of the store than
his uncle had ever done. When he was 24 his
uncle asked him if he would like to go into
business for himself. He replied that he did
not have money enough. His uncle offered to
start him. The result was that the young
man took a warehouse near that of the uncle,
and succeeded so well that in a year or so he
was able to buy his uncle out. His fortune
grow rapidly. He never misapplied so much
as a cent. Every penny was precious in his
eyes. Money making became his mania;
wealth his one dean-e. On a certain occasion,
after much talk,.he persuaded a man to let
him have n 50 cent article for 40 cents.
“Why is it,” asked a friend, “that a man of
your great wealth should want to add a few
cents like that to his fortune?"
“The pleasure of pomession, sir; the pleasure

Revamplng a Tombstone.
“I can’t say that I ever dealt in second-
hand tombstones,” said a dealer in_mcrtuary
establishments; “that is, I never bought an.
old one, but I have frequently revamped a
stone for a customer. In the first burst of
grief men and women are apt to be lavish in
their orders and order a costly stone. Before
it is finished their grief is somewhat assuaged
and in consequence I get stuck on a stone.
Then I have to dispose of it "to some one else
and it takes some fine chiseling to wipe out
‘Sacred to the memory of Jane Tubbs’ and
insert ‘Here lies the body of William J oné's.’
If the letters are raised it is easy enough to
smooth them off and sink the second inscrip-
tion; but if they aresnnk the entire face of
the stone must be cut or ground down. It is
cheaper to do that than low the stone.”-Phfi-'

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to

theref Ire. singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it. the object of-
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the confidence
of the great majority of sufferers in all adver-
used remedies. They become resigned to a life
of misery rather than torture themselves with

QUAKER TESTIMONY.
Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, Philadelphia, has donea
great deal to make known to ladies the great
value of Mrs. Lydia E. Plukham’s Vegetable oom-
poundhas a cure for their troubles and diseases.
She wrrtcs as follows : “A young lady of tbrs city
while bathing some years ago was thrown violent-
ly against the lifeline and the injuries received
resulted in an ovarian tumor thCh grew and
enlarged until death seemed certain. Her phy-
sician finally advised her to try Mrs. Piukham’s
Compound. She did so and In a short time the
tumor dissolved and she is now In perfect health.
[also know of many cases where the medicine
has been ofgreat value in preventing miscarriage
and alleviating the pains and dangers of child-
birth. Philadelphia ladies appreciate the worth
of this medicine and its great value.”
A Constaunt Study efn Noted Woman's Life.
Mrs. Lydia E. Pinaham for six ye 8, made the
diseases and weaknesses of her x a constant
study, and as a result of it was the famous
“Vegetable Compound." Her knowledge equalled
that of any first-class physwian, and therefore the
remedy can be taken with perfect confidence.
The subjects of treatment are so delicate that it is
hard to be understood without trespassing on the
grounds of what may seem improper language;
yet it is a well-known fact 111m. not one woman in
tea is free from pain and troubles, therefore there
is no good reason why they should not have the
means placed before them of saving lhemselvcs
all, if not the greaier part of the periodic and
other suffering. The medicine is exclusively for
good purposes.

Oyster culture has made considerable
progress in France. Its two principal
centers are Arcaclron and Auruy. The
Bay of Arcachon has since 1854 held a
foremost place in oyster breeding. In
1857 there were 20 parts, or district oyster
beds; in 1865 the number lradincrcased to
297. with an output of over 10,000,000
oysters. At the present time the little
bay, which has a total area of 37,500 acme.
has oyster beds covering an area of 15.000
acres, which provide annually 1 bout 800,-
000.000 oysters for consumption. With
regard to the oyster beds at Auray, on the
coast of Brittany, these, though not so
important as those at Arcachon. have still
a considerable output, and, from being ex-
haustive and unproductive when their re-
habilitation was first undertaken, have be-
come full to overflowing. .

A Wonderful Operation-
The Cmsarian operation, one of the most
difficult and dangerous known to surgery,
was successfully performed by Professor
William T. Lusk of Bellevue hospital,
New York city. on March 23d. . The
patient was a woman who came to the
hospital of her own accord, and expressed
her willingness to undergo it, as there
was no other way to save lhelife of her
unborn child and perhaps her own. She,
. was strong and healthy, and after consulta-
tion the attempt was made. After the
most caréful preparations the patent was
placed under the influence of an esthetic.
A longitudinal incision was then made,
and through this the child was removed.
All the. severed tissues were joined, and
the sutures left for four days. Both
mother and child are now in excellent
health. It is said to be (100 years at. least
since the Caesarian operation has been
performed so successfully. ,
