An Elephant in a Rage. k The New York Sun Bays: A big elel phant named Borsen, which arrived from Liverpool for Barnum's menagerie, was it assigned to a place where three other d elephants were chained; and, being unr. accustomed to stand otherwise than alone, he became very belligerent. He te walked in front of his companions as far n as his chain would permit, struck them ?r | on their heads with his trunk, and seemed ir determined that they should acknowledge [e his superiority. Always when several g elephants are together one masters the rest, before peace is established. Mr. r. Hale, the keeper of Borsen, gave him it blows with a stout stick, and aided by several other men, watched the beasts throughout the night. Borsen enter,*, tained a consequent grudge against his ^ keeper, and as the latter, about seven in e the morning, was giving him water, hit e mm a blow witu ins rriuiK on ttie siue r- time knocked liim twenty feet away. H:Je ran at Borsen with his stick, but e was seized and thrown over the railing, it On returning to the charge, he was again e seized, and this time the beast was on the d point of plunging his tusks into him, L when Mr. Charles McLain, the boss can:1c vassinan, went to his rescue and dragged e him out of reach. Borsen then became furious. He broke his chain, and started i- through the premises with his trunk elect vated and liis tail standing stiffly in a te horizontal position. He tore down the it wooden railing as if it were a thread, and a went to the lions' cage, which he knocked p over. There was then a pandemonium ?, of roars from all the beasts, including g the seals and sea lions. Over twenty fled, >, but soon rallied, and, under the leadery ship of Messrs. McLain and McDonald, r prodded the elephant with pitchforks and o tore his ears with hooks until he was a secured. This was done by first lassoing one of his legs as he stepped, and then g twining the rope around his other legs, p which caused him to fall heavily. Then, e being helpless, his fore and hind legs k and his tusks were chained. In this condition, after tremendous boatings, be was p allowed to rise, and was led to one of the e posts of the garden, to which he was il attached. His ears were biully lacerated, d and blood streamed from wounds on his e sides nnd belly. e An elephant, after being conquered, u rarely attempts a second rebellion, and e Borsen was quiet after his subjugation, f obeying the commands of the attendants. 11 It took six hours to subdue him, and > men were afterward occupied for hours a washing away the constant flow of blood. Mr. Hale was badly, but not dangerously hurt. Charles Rivers had a very narrow escape, for the elephant at one time i held him with his trunk, and wr.s on the :t I point of driving his tusks into him, when I. a violent blow of a club caused the trunk ct I fr* 1 nncoii 11 " d A New Game. The Virginia Chronicle says : A man ? cnme into a restaurant and mounting a {V high stool leaned over the counter and ] ordered a porterhouse steak with eggs e on the side, and some ale and oysters u to begin on. In about half an hour he e had finished his repast and was begisiu ning to deliberate what kind of dessert l_ he would wind up on, when a man walked y in, and tapping him on the shoulder, re" marked: t " Is your name Billy Hieks ?" 0 "Yes, that's my name," said the man e on the stool, as the hand stole down to e his hip pocket, fumbling for the handle of a barker ; "whatdo want?" " We had a little trouble once before in White Pine, and now I guess I've got you dead to rights," continued the new 1 comer, pulling out a large sized six e shooter. e "If you'll just step into the street and j pace oil' your distance, I'm your man," e said the feeder, who had just finished I his pie, and whipping out a revolver he s sprang oil' his perch and rushed after the other into tiie street. u The frightened restaurant man got c down behind the counter and bent his s ear to listen to the shots and the nish of e the mob ; but he didn't hear anything unusual, and in about live minutes he recollected that there was ?2.50 owing on the meal. Then lie went out on tlie sidewalk to investigate. " Was there a row out here a few Is minutes ago he inquired of a stare gazer 011 the sidewalk. k " Didn't see any.

He said : it "You are a graduate of West Point, I itl believe V' nt "Yes, sir." )e " Educated at the expense of the ts United States, I believe, which you ss swore faithfully to forever defend ?" m "Yes, sir." :)t " You went into the service of the infernal rebellion ?"

A Heavy Haul of Seals. A correspondent of the New York World writes as follows concerning tlie New Foundland seal fishery: The steamer Arctic, Captain Adams, arrived at St. J<?hns, New Foundland, with 24,000 seals, but of these nearly 2,000 were old hood seals, making the value of the cargo equal to that of 30,000 harp seals. This was a fine trip; but a few hours after the steamer Neptune, owned bv Job Brothers, entered the Narrows so heavily loaded that the gunwale was but two or three feet oufr of the water. Every nook and cranny below decks were crammed with seals. The men had given up their berths and filled them with seal fat, and the deck itself was piled with "white coats." Altogether the Neptune brought in 42,000 seals. It was a wonderful sight to see her crew of 280 stalwart hunters crowding her decks as she came in, steaming slowly, and cheering wildly as they waved their greasy caps in the air, their clothing all polished with seal fat and t1 e blood of their victims; The crowd on shore reechoed their cheers and received them like conquerors returning from a battlefield. The return of the argonauts with the golden fleece from Colchis was not a "circumstance" to the return of the Neptune with her fat cargo from the ice fields. The value of the cargo is $126,000, the result of twenty-six days' seal hunting. The captain, E. White, gets twenty cents per seal, so that in those twenty-six days lie cleared as his share $8,400. The men get one-third of the proceeds, so that each would receive S150, subject t'.t certain deductions. It was the good fortune of the Neptune to gft right into the center of the main body of the seals, so that the men had only to slaughter their innocent victims nnd haul them 011 board. Captain White stated that had his vessel been large enough, he could have brought in 150,000 seals as easily as the 42,000. He killed and panned 7,000 more, and directed a sailing vessel he met where to find them; aiulJie shipped three thousand additional 011 board another vessel, stipulating for one-third of the lot as a bonus. This is the greatest feat in seal hunting ever performed, and the largest trip of seals ever brought into any port of Newfoundland. The name of Captain White is now immortalized, and will. go down in the traditions of theSt. Johns fishermen to the latest posterity. Among them the greatest hero is he who lias slaughtered most seals. This is the brief lale the Hazelton (Pa.) Sentinel tells: A tramp stopped at the house of Philip Harris, in Coleraine, and was given something to eat. Noticing that John Harris, aged eighteen, was blind in one eye, he told him to cut a sour apple in two and rub the cnt edges on the eye. The young man did as ho was told and regained his siglrt. He had not been able to see out of the eye for seven years. Bismnrrk.

It was hiB chi< business to find fault For example, he took lantern one day when the nun was shinin brightly and went out to search for an honei man, thereby insinuating that such persor were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, distinguished military gentleman, paid him ' visit, and inquired what he could do for him, 1 had the impudence to tell him to " get ont < his sunshine." To cap the climax of hi? odd ties, he dressed like a beggar and lived in tub! He was a sour, crabbed, crusty o bachelor. We infer that he had no wife, fir* because history does not mention her; secon< because no woman would take kindly to one < his habits, dress or manners, or aspire to b come mistress of his mansion. "There was r old woman who lived in a shoe," it is true, bi the woman who would live in a mb, ai especially with such a companion, has not bet heard from. The misanthropic spirit whit possessed this man was doubtless dne to di ordered digestion and a biliousness, one Of t) prominent symptoms of wliich is a moroc fault-finding' disposition. The tongue is heavi coated, giving rise to a bad taste, the appeti is not good, and the patient feels dull, slee] or dizzy, and is apt tobe fretfuL Unfortunate Mr. Diogenes lived several centuries before I) Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets were i vented, a few doses of which would have r lieved him of bis "bile," and enabled him find scores of "honest men" without the aid his lantern. Under their magic influence, cor bined with that of the Golden Medical Di covery, to cleanse his blood, he might ha' been led to take a more cheerful view- of lif to exchange his tub for a decent hab'tation, "spruce up" in personal appearand, and loaf Vifiv/* fnlron n trifn in mrmrl li 1 a ftl his manners, both of wbich were in rvide need of repairs, and become the happy sire little Diopeneses who would have handed dov to posterity the name, not of a cynic philon pher, but of a cheerful, healthy, happy, virtue man !
