My family have been in Uio circus business for seventy years," said Frank Melville, the dashing your.fr equestrian, to a New York Sun reporter, " and my earliest memories are of incidents of show life. Speaking of elephants, I once rode forty miles on the back of one, old Tippoo Saib, when I was only six ye irs old, nnd ever since have been around where t hey were and had opportunities for studying their ways. They understand what is said to them as well as most people do, and think about what they want to do lust as a person would. T I'-.VP -p>m pli nlimifs ?nr;iin ami a<rain. when they thought nobody wr:s about to watch them, perpetrate thefts with an ingenuity in avoiding detection, that a human thief would hardly beat. It is no uncommon thing for an elephant to pull up the stake to which lie is chained, go to a feed bin containing oats or carrots, wrench oil' the lock, raise the lid. eat all he wants, put down the lid again, return to his place, poke the stake to which his chain is fastened back into the same hole it came out of and stamp it down with his fool, and then when his ke< per comes he will look as innocent as a lamb; but if you'll watch the beast until the man begins cursin? about the robbery of the leed bin. you'll observe an amused twinkle in his wicked, watchful little eyes that shows his enjoyment of the situation. The element. is .ilw:ivs on the lookout to play a trick. Incautiously leave a jacket or a shirt where he can at it. and he will, when he thinks himself unobserved, deliberately pull every button oft' it. and th?n put it back just where you left it, and show that he finds it funny when you pet mad. I have seen two of them set up a sham fight to attract the attention of a third, so that a fourth could get a chance to steal the feed of the third. " Speaking of the elephant's understanding of words ? and, mind you, he knows their meaning as words, without any accompanying gestures, such as you have to make to the best trained horse ?I remember an incident with that sameTippoo Saib that I rode on when I was a boy. We were getting into Prairie du Chien. and he was let get into the river. Elephants are very fond of the water, and lie was enjoying himself immensely, with a crowd of I suppose a thousand people looking on to see the comfort he was taking, when a fellow came alone with a monstrous big Newf J J U - I 1 ? iounoianu uoit mm ij? ii;iu ?i jjiusl wmceited notion of. The dog had, as the man said, whipped a hear, and the felt low thought could whip anything, even the elephant, and he 4sicoed' him at Tippoo Saib. Frank Nash, who was the elephant's keeper, suggested to the man that the contract was too big. and the dog seemed to have some such notion himself, for lie .iust swam round Tippoo and barked at him. But tha seemed to annoy the elephant after a wtiil?, and Frank just, said quietly: 4 Take him, Tippoo.' The next second Tippoo took him around the waist, soused him under water, and shook him there as a man would a rag, then tossed him up full thirty feet in the air, caught him on his tusks, grabbed him again and l.unc him out on shore. 'Dead ?' Dead! Why that dog looked likeahandkevchief. " Tippoo Saib was the grandest elephant I ever saw. He had tusks ten feet long, and when he was mad he was able to close their points together or spread them apart, as he liked, in a way I've never seen any other elephant do. When lie got a chance to kill anything ne wouia nrsi Knot*k il uown, uieu puthe points of those tremendous tusks together, and, dropping on his knees, would drive those points through whatever he was murdering, or luash it into the ground with them. At one little town in Iowa, where we wore stopping over a Sunday, we had a sort of canvas enclosure around him, where he was chained to a stake. The keeper wen): away to his dinner, leaving a watchman in charge of him. A young doctor came around and wanted to get in the enclosure to look at Tippoo Saib. lie had been to the show the day before and seen him there, but lie wanted a quirt look at him. The watchman told him the beast was dinirerous and he had better not go near him, but the young doctor allowed that he know all about it. that elephants were docile, intelligent animals, and he was not afraid of them. As he was so confident, and seemed to know so much about elephants, the watchman went to his dinner. When he came hnek. Tippoo Saib had literally torn the young doctor's head off his body. * " After that they cut his tusks oil" short, and it seemed to break his heart. Thev were fitted with iron'sockcts to screw on agnin, bui he hud no confidence in them as weapons to kill anything with; appeared to know they were no longer :i part of him. but just an attachment, and lie never was the same proud elephant again. Ilis keeper used to keep his money in the hollow of the socket of one of tlic tusks, a safer place than a bank as Ion? as Tip) ?>o lived, for even ii he had lost most ot iiis nerve when his tusks were cut oft", he still was elephant enough to be likely to kill a stranger whenever he got a ^ood chance; and even if he wouldn't, thieves wouldn't be likely to trust his good nature. " But, even with the tusks off. ho was regarded as dangerous. He would roll his trunk up into a close roll, like coiling up a spring, and then llip it out, and whatever he struck that way was gone. I believe lie could have knocked down a hippopotamus with one crack of that trunk. Sometimes pigs would come about him while lie was eating. He wouldn't appear to pay any attention until one would get close enough; then a tap would be given by that monster trunk and the life be fairly knocked out of piggy. He would reach for the pig, make "a sure job of it by standing on him a moment, then toss the sliauelets ciu'cass behind him, ami go on eating as placidly as ever. " In Somerset, Ohio, I think il was, lie got stubborn and struck at everybody that came near him, and, in iear of wii:it lie might do if he got fairly started, they killed him?shot him in the eye with a very large rille hall, and settled him. "Cow elephants never are vicious. They are sometimes mischievous, but never malicious and murderous. The bulls are apt to ge t that way about four times a year, especially as they grow old. At such times they get those sudden iits of uncontrollable rage, and woe be to whatever living tiling is in their way then. Sometimes, however, agoodtempered elephant is spoiled by a cruel keeper. There was John Nathans?so called after his tirst owner? for instance. While Elephant Bill had him in charge he was as good as an elephant could be, but after Cooiey had him aw;iile In tin1 John O'Brien show, he got so bad that they had to kill him. lie killed a female elephant and a man named Bill Pearl. I think. Then at Frankfort or Germantown, Pa., they killed him. " An elephant is worse than any other wild beast when he is wicked, because he has so much intelligence in planning mischief and cunning ferocity in exer rising it with his terrible power, it an elephant could talk he'd be a match in cutcness for most men. And they do talk anions themselves. In 1802, when I was traveling with Maybie's show, we were going to Independence, Iowa, the town where Mr. Older, our manager Jived, and, as it was his own town, he wanted to put on some style there. So we had three elephants hitched to the band wagon. They were tandem, of course. Betsy, a small cow elephant, went# first; Mary, a little iarucr cow elephant, was second, and Sultan, a very big bull elephant, was between the shafts. We had to cross a bridge going into the town?a wooden bridge, forty feet high, over the rocky bed of a stream that all the water had pone out of. When you come to a bridge with elephants it isn't go as you please, but go :is they please. Those three moved so slowly t hat we were ful 1 fifteen minutes going fifty feet. 1 was sitting on the front of the band wagon, ard could just fed it,move and that was all. Betsy would j.ut down afoot, try to shak'' the hi ??! ;? with it, put her weight upon it gradually. :ind then send hack a series of the queerest little prunts and whinnies that you ever heard, to Sultan, and he would answer her in the same inin ill uft*. kjuiuctiim o iuai ay ciiV4 jvriu <n their conversation. .Fust as we got to the center of the bridge there was a Crash, and Sultan dropped right through froai between the >11 A.fts and cloan out oi sight. like a bullet would sink in water, and the other two darted across to solid ground, each giving a frightened yell as it made the plunge. The band wagon; with ton musicians, the driver ana myself stopped just at the edge of I the hole through which Sultau went j down. I sprang off and shouted to the musicians to jump out. Well, we ran down to Sultan. Hp hnd fallen in a sitI ting posture, and there he sat, groaning j dreadfully. It took twenty men and ten s I horses, with blocks and tackle, to hoist I him to his feet. With great trouble we } got him out of the ravine and up to Mr. ; OJder's farm, where they nursed him for (I a week. They dosed him, and used lin- ei iment on him by the kegful, but still ci ) nothing seemed to relieve him. Hejust tl j lay on his side groaning dreadfully, and h ; touching the end of his trunk to one eye t< I as if trying to call attention to some- ti j thing there. That motion was noticed at r I last,and the doctor .vent to work to ex- P amine that eye. The instant he touched lf ! it Sultan gave a big sigh of satisfaction, tl j and stretelloa liimsen out, as mucin jis ; to say, 'Tluit's the place; look out for tl ! that.' Tlie doctor pulled out a splinter, h j three-quarters as long as your little fin- a : ger. that had been broken from the b : bridge and gone in right beside Sultan's tl | eyeball, and as soon iis that was out the t< animal got up ::nd commenced to get n better. Poor Sultan, he was a fine fel- ti low, with tusks six feet long and great P brass balls on the ends ofthem, in which i Long John, his keeper, u?ed to keep his h 1 money. As he got his strength back lie a I got dangerous, and about ten years after c' I his fall they had to kill him." n ? -w Sunstroke. tl ~ . i tl Jius uuecLiim uwuio iiiutv piHuvu-i ' larly in the tropics, but is occasionally ! o: j observed in hot weather, in the temper- si ; ate zone, in persons who are exposed to t,' j the direct rays of the sun, and who have o : at the surne time to undergo exertion. t? 1 It is therefore chiefly seen n soldiers ei j marchinrr during the heat of the day, jt ' or in agricultural laborers who are at j work in the fields; yet it has been o ' known to come on at night, ia persons sleeping in the pestilential atmosphere h ' of overcrowded and badly-ventilated ^ j barracks or cabins, and in children shut b i up in a stilling bedroom after having b i been exposed to great heat during the o I day. It would therefore be more ap- a: ! propriate to speak of heatstroke, for the c< j disorder really consists of a great and g I sudden rise in the temperature of the ii i blood, which in this state acts as a ci ! poison on the medulla. The perspira- h ! tion of the skin is suddenly arrested, and If ! as the evaporation of sweat on the sur- tj j face of the body is intended to produce o I /^i<4 nnr! Viim fr> timit-.vA.1iKp thp effects o !' of the external heat, the closure of this | ^ | safety-valve causes a further rise of I tl ; temperature, which pai'alyzes some or j -A most of the centers in the medulla. The :"? wor3t kind of heatstroke is that in , a: i which the centers for respiration and I u I the heart's action are affected, as total ; t< asphyxia or syncope is the result. A j j person who may be walking in the I n | street or working in a field is seen sud- ! a ! denly to drop down as if shot or struck , tl j by lightning, and dies in a minute or ! p ! two. A fatal issue is in such cases so ji i rapid that there is no chance lor any j< j treatment to do good, more especially ci as the means which would be of the n I first importance, viz., ice und plenty of ii i cold water, are usually not at once at c | hand. The second kind of sunstroke is ei I owinc; to paralysis of the center for the > j blood-vessels in the medulla, whereby p 1 apoplexy is caused. In such instances i e ' the symptoms are not quite sowudden, n and death may often be averted. The tl I illness begins with mental disturbance? b j there arc delusions and hallucinations, r | followed by mania, and the patient may a commit suicide or homicide. This stage e I of excitement lasts for a short time, and i j< j is succeeded by a period of depression. I p i The patient becomes sleepy, insensible, I v I and may die in a state of profound :ipo-1 | pi?;xy. Life is. however, often saved by j b i drenching the body with cold water i u ; and applying ice to the head.

In a few weeks they grow 1 1 j much larger, and change their sheTl for ^ ! lobsterhood. In general this is done 11 ! once a year, and is a painful operation. 11 : For some days before this change the j J1 j animal discontinues its usual strength j ' 1 and vigor, lying torpid and motionless;! J I but just before casting its shell, striking 11 I its claws agairst each other, every limb I * 6eems to tremble. Then the body swells I J" | in an unusual manner, and the shell be- {r J gins to divide?it seems turned inside I I out, the stomach coming away with its i ^ shell. In like manner the claws are | j disengaged, the lobster casting them off; ? j much as you or I would kick off a boot j | too big for us. Fur several hours it " j now continues enfeebled and motion- " j less, but in two days the new skin be- ? comes hardened, and within forty-eight j; ! hours the shell is perfectly formed and r1 [ hard like the one just cast off. The lobster has now increased more : than a third in its size, and, like a boy ? | who has outgrown his pants, it seems *' wonderful how the old shell could con- ? j tain so great an animal as fills the new. , Below, in his native element, he reaches * } the age of twice ten years, and loses a * ! foot or claw without feeling the loss, for I 1 he very well knows they will crow again. ^ j At certain seasons lobsters never meet 1 each other .without a tight, and when a ; leg or even a claw is lost the victor car- ! ries off this spoil to feast on, while the j | vanquished retires for a thorough repair 11 i of his injured anatomy.

FARM AND GARDEN. Farm Drainage. Among other articles of practical importance" to farmers interested in land drainage, in the Drainage Journal, is the prize essay on " Drainage," based on 1 actual experience, by S. J. Woolley, Hilliard. Obin. Touching the vexed , question of tlie distance between drains,' ? Mr. Hilliard's experience substantiates , that of others, viz., the distance must be ] determined by the nature of the soil, the depth of the tile and the amount of fall, i A lo?se porous soil will permit water to 1 reach the drains for a long distance, 1 while a tough compact clay is almost 1 imndnHnin ir> water and requires the 1 drains to be made much closer. As to the depth of drains, the "writer has found i [our leet sufficient at a distance of ten , rods apart in a black, loose soil; but if the land is hard-pan or a stiff clay, to Jrainit tnorouphly the distance apart I should be from four to six rods only. 1 The outlet ought always to be suffi- | eient, and it is much better to secure a ?ood outlet at the start, especially if the J land is flat and there is but little fall. Mr. Hilliard advises in all cases to have i good outlet, so that the water will fall i from six to twelve inches when it leaves the tile. He believes, wherever ' a cut-off is made, that although it may 20st a little more to dig the drain, tile is 3aved, a greater fall is gained, the water is carried off quicker and the land bet- 1 ter drained. However, when the ridges 1 :ire too high to dig through, laterals 1 must be used. Jjaterais, or aiuu uiauia, as tliey enter the main drains, should be made to enter at an acute angle pointing down stream. Mr. Hilliard begins at the lower end and lays tile as the ditch is dug; stands on the tile in laying'them, and turns them until the joints fit; then broken pieces of tile are laid over the joints with a few inches of clay to keep loose soil from washing at the joints. The last tile at the lower end should be twice as loDg as the others, with holes through the end not over an inch apart, and wires across these so as to keep all animals out of the drain. There ought to be a stone wall built across over the mouth of the tile drain, laid up with sand or cement, so as to prevent muskrats from digging up the tile drain. One eight-inch tile will carry off as much water, in Mr. Hilliard's opinion, aa an open ditch four feet wide and two feet deep, and is sufficient for an outlet for fifty acres. It is advised that the tile should not be continued of the same size all the way. W benever a lateral cornea m u swuuei tile will do from that point, and so on. The tile at the end which has holes in it should be a size larger than the others, as the wire will impede the flow of water somewhat. The authority in question believes there is no vel like water by which i to grade drains. Pipe-tile which is cir- 1 cular has many advantages, among them the possibility of being iaid true on the bottom. Horseshoe tile arc not recommended. Solid rather than porous tile are preferred, being stronger and not liable to burst or crumble. When nnm rlitoliPR sire resorted to Mr. Hilliard urges that they be made as straight as possible and as deep as may be, with sides having a slope of a loot and a half to each foot of depth. Open ditches do not drain the lana as fast or as well as do tile drains. Other points of general interest presented in this essay are: Tile drains which empty into the main should have a fall of at least six inches; the avoidance of many laterals and the intrusting of making tile drains to hired help. A fact presented and not generally known is that if a swampy piece of woodland is suddenly drained most of the old timber will die; the oaks and hickories will go first. The change is first noticed in flie tops of the trees. However, the young timber soon accommodates itself to the change, and after a time grows more thriftily than before. SoKklnK Seed Corn. Farmers who are troubled by the crows pulling up their corn in spring, should not put off the purchasing of materials for making a solution in which to soak their seed corn until it is wanted at planting time. Many do this, and regret it when they see their young corn pulled by the mischievous crows. The materials needed are gas tar and blue vitriol. For six bushels of wheat, a half pint of tar and two pounds of blue vitriol are sufficient. The tar should tie put into a pail, with one gallon of warm water added to it. and then well stirred. The scum that rises to the top must be skimmed off. Mix the vi:riol in another vesse . and also with' one gallon of water, and when both are well dissolved, mix together and sprinkle over the seed corn, which should be mixed up until all the kernels are wet with the solution. If the grains stick together, add a little plaster of paris. Crows and lield mice will not trouble corn thus prepared.? New York Sun. Picture of n Loyal Indian Brave.

Mrs. Augustus Brooks, of East Eliot, Conn., has a cat thirteen years old, which will stand up when ordered, bow slowly or quick, as directed, walk around the room on her hind legs only, dance, turn somersaults, go through the motions of holding a Jew's-harp to her mouth with one paw and playing on it with the other, mew when ordered to speak, kiss her paw to visitors,, hold a saucer of milk on her fore-legs and lap the milk, and stand on her hind feet and with her fore-paws catch bits of bread or meat thrown to her like a baseball player. Her kitten, a year old, will turn somersaults. The same lady has a hen which always wipes her feet on the mat on entering the house, and if asked. "How do you get your living, biddy?" will scratch on the fioor; look to see if she had scratched out anything, and then look at the questioner to see if the answer is correct. This hen despises the wooden, chalk and porcelain chalk cheats which some people palm off 011 hens for ne3t-eggs, and will not "lay to " one of them, tumbling them out of her nest as often jis they are put in. A rooster, also, will scratch the floor when ajsked how he gets his living, but cannot be made to wipe his feet.? Springfield Republican. Famine and Relief. Tfie cry of distress, of want of bread, comes from many of the countries of the o:d world. Again, as in 1847, famine is threatening the west of Ireland, and the want of aid will be still greater before another harvest or even the summerj comes. Evpn then some permanent measures of relief for Ireland will be needed. From Persia we have the same news of threatened starvation as in years p 1st. The government has little pit for the people, and help must come from abroad. From Mesopotamia and Kurdistan the same. From parts of Russia comes the same cry. The St. Petersburg Golos has intelligence from the transeaueasus that the condition of the inhabitants of the Shatur-Dalagez district is terrible. A quantity of breadstuffs has hern seized by the hungerstricken people. An evidence that the world is not becoming more hard-hearted is afforded by the ready response that is made from one country to another when ^aunt famine stalks abroad. The spirit of charity more than ever before pervades civilized lands, and in no country is it more active than our own .?New York I Observer. 1 NEWS SUMMARY. , i Eastern and Mitfdla States. < John Kelly, the Now York city comptroller, ell and disloc ited bis shoulder the other ( norning while stepping off a street car.

At last a photograph "i of a Cheyenne, taken some years ago, _ was shown him. He look.d at it a u moment, then went quietly back to his 3hair and sat there like a statue while Iiis negative was taken. He explained hat no Cheyenne warrior was agreater i irave than he.

The Kicka100s gave the same reason, and a pho;ographer was peremptorily ordered out their country on that account. The ~ [ndian is a profound believer in the jower of spirits for sood or evil, and akes care ftever to offend them. ? Pearl Divers and Sharks. The pearl divers of the Coromalend wast are not unfrequently attacked by a ground-sharks. As a rule, a shark will ^ cave a man with a dark skin alone: but ' .vhen hungry, it rarely makes a differ- I nee between an European and a Hindu. ( Knowing this, the divers of whom I *' speak, frequently arm themselves with a .tout bamboo, in the shape of a cross, m .vith the extremities made sharp. With ,1ns four pointed dagger they wiil dare / my shark to seize them: for, as the y uonster turns on his back and opens its 8 noutli for the bite, they dexterously J hrust the bamboo cross between its * aws. Great care is taken of the strength * >f the bamboo; the consequence is that n, he shark, on closing its mouth to obtain g lie first taste of its anticipated meal, ? lrives the spikes well home between its :> : aws. Fishermen say that once a shark ^ las a sturdy, well-pointed ana piacea i jamboo cross fixed in its distended *t noutli, no efforts of the creature's can a id it of the wood. Its efforts arede- " eribed :is being often furious and comic, ji Hie diver, as soon as he has impaled his " r.emy, lias to get out of the way as fast "7 us possible, for :t blow from the taiP'of V m infuriated shark is no joke. As for J he comic side of the picture, it must be ^ i ludicrous sight for little fishes to wit- j? less, to see their dreaded, but now imlotent, arehfoe, wilu ly tearing about, * lither and thither, in the deep, with a $ ross-bar between his distended jaws, j 1 $ The imports of coffee from all coun-! ries into the United States?exclusive T the States on the Pacific?for 187!) < yerc 198,010 tons, against imports in i 878 of 147,030 tons. , Postal Cards. The raatal card 1itfcto over, six;ars old in the United States, yet it is ring as well as could bo expected for 3 age. It has only two enemies, the an who receives duns on it, and the anufacturers of writing paper. The itle postal causes a decrease of from 12,000,000 to $15,000,000 every year in te business of I he writing paper trades i this country. Postal cards are made , Holyoke, and forty men are continuly employed at their manufacture. The irdboard is furnished in packages of 000 each, and every sheet is made I .to forty postals. Three presses are j ;pt going night and day. A machine 1 its tlie sheets into strips of ten cards tch, and these in turn axe cut into ngle cards and dumped in piles of renty-five each, when they are packed y girls in pasteboard boxes containing ?0 cards. A government officer is conantiy on hand to see that no pilfering : cards is done. The Holyoke manuctory turns out about 1,000,000 of irds a day. J^ast year tnere were useci i this country 246,063,060 cards. Of the jw international card introduced a few eeka since, there have been 2,000,000 sed already.
