HUNTING THE TIGER. The elephants used for tiger-shooting in India are generally lent by the government, an official document being at the same time handed to the borrower, in which the height, names, supposed age, and prices of the animals are duly stated, for, in the event of a casualty, the loss must be made good. More than £100 is rarely demanded for a government elephant, although it is very often worth much more, the tariff being based on the expenses incurred by its capture and training. Of course it is very important, before making a selection, to obtain some knowledge of the characters and antecedents of the elephants in the Commissariat Yard, and if you intend to be your own driver you must also contrive to be on good terms with the one you choose for your personal use. Elephantine perfection is represented by a gentle and steady female that will stand quite still while the tiger is roaring and charging in all directions; but as the females generally become wild with terror after having experienced one mauling, and, far from remaining tranquil, make the best of their way from the scene of action when they find themselves in danger, it is safer to take cross old tuskers. A huntsman who had a passion for tiger-shooting chose a handsome elephant nearly ten feet high, which had only killed two people during a long career, and that while incautiously approached during an attack of fever, and which bore a high character for gentleness as well as courage. Though ready to obey orders, Roghanath had a strong objection to being made to kneel, so the hunter, having but little time to spare for making friends, thought it well "to pass a vote of confidence at once," and after feeding him with bread and sugar, proceeded to mount in orthodox style, namely, by stepping on his tusks when the elephant lowered himself by advancing his front legs, and then allowing himself to be transferred by a tour of the Nile in flood! And how different is the glad welcome given to the news from the feelings with which the people of any other land hear that their chief river threatens an infundation! But this is no criminal, murderous flood, such as I have seen on the Indian Ganges, on the American Mississippi, carrying away hamlets by the score, and washing down with the ruins of the villages the corpses of the villagers. It is a message of joy that comes up from the south, past Philsa and the island of flowers, to Syene among its ruins. The Nile is in flood! and pouring out, as it goes, on either bank the promise of abundant harvests. Past the city of Apollo, monument of a dead worship, to colossal Taubes dreaming among its sand-swept palaces of a royal grandeur that is fallen and gone, to Dendera buried among its palms, but still mindful, in a single temple, of old priestly splendors, and so on into lower Egypt, and past the stately piles of Memphis—that contest, even in their ruins, supremacy with Thebes—into the Delta. Throughout its course we mark the quickening influence of the advancing flood. In spite of the rumors of war, with fear of change perplexing monarchs, the crier went his round, announcing in a quaint chant the daily rise of the water, and close behind him came the priests, ever ready to reap advantage from popular enthusiasm, whether in grief or gladness. When the register has marked a rise of twenty feet, the crier proclaimed the "completion," and the priests again took toll for "the abundance;" and then the dams of all the reservoirs were cut, and the water released over the fields. The ceremony is a quaint one, for in the gap stands a pillar of mud, "the bride of the flood," and as the water rushes through, it is whirled away amid the shouts of the spectators. With a firing of guns and music and merry-making the day closes and the night makes. A Remarkable Divorce Case in English High Life. London Times. It would be affectation to ignore the interest generally felt in the case of Euston va. Euston. Had such a tale as that unfolded in court for a plot of a novel of a play, the author would have been reproved for sinning against the probabilities of life and for painfully straining after effects. We can conceive Mr. Wilkie Collins, in his most inventive and daring hours, devising some such complications; but the facts proved yesterday in solemn form before Sir James Hannen throw into the shade the staple of sensational literature. When about two and twenty years of age, Lord Euston, heir to the Dukedom of Grafton, became acquainted with a person older than himself, who went under the name of Kate Cooke, Lord Euston married her in 1861. At the time of her marriage she described herself, it was alleged, as the widow of one George M. Smith, who had sailed for Australia in the London, and gone down in that ill-fated vessel. The marriage proved, as such unions necessarily must, a source of unhappiness, and became eventually intolerable. Husband and wife parted, Lord Euston going in 1875 to Australia. Inquiries by his friends brought to light the fact that she had in 1863 married at Glasgow George Manby Smith, a commercial traveler; and yesterday he was actually produced in Court and recognized her. A person named "G. M. Smith" had indeed sailed for Australia in the London; but his name in full was George Maslin Smith, and not George Manby Smith. To complete the chain of proof, the widow of the former yesterday appeared in Court to speak to the identity of "G. M. Smith," who was actually lost in London. Apparently, Lord Euston's claim for a decree of nullity of marriage on the ground that at the time when he went through the matri- A huntsman who had a passion for tiger-shooting chose a handsome elephant nearly ten feet high, which had only killed two people during a long career, and that while cautiously approached during an attack of fever, and which bore a high character for gentleness as well as courage. Though ready to obey orders, Roghanath had a strong objection to being made to kneel, so the hunter, having little time to spare for making friends, thought it well "to pass a vote of confidence at once," and after feeding him with bread and sugar, proceeded to mount in orthodox style, namely, by stepping on his tusks when the elephant lowered himself by advancing his front legs, and then allowing himself to be transferred by a toss of the head to his place behind his ears. This done, his new master set out for his first ride, which he describes as follows: "The native man, from want of thought, keeps up a constant drumming on the beast's head with the goad, or 'ankus.' I therefore hoped not to use it at all. Such an improvement all at once, however, proved more than even the elephantine mind could grasp. He began really to enjoy himself, going his own way more than mine, till at last he marched straight into an immense forest tree of the banyan species, and commenced to browse. He seized the boughs above his head, and tugging violently at them, brought them down on my devoted skull. This was too much. I raised the ankus and brought it down on his head with a blow that brought blood through the skin. This had the desired effect, and he at once bundled off by the road he knew I wanted him to go. He merely took with him a branch about the size of a small apple tree to discuss as he went along. From this moment we were friends, and I do not think I ever had to use the hook again so as to bring blood; generally it was sufficient to tap him with my fingers to get him to do what I wanted." If the male elephant stands one mauling he becomes fierce, and will charge into any cover where he supposes the tiger to be displaying on some occasions a mistaken zeal, which has been known to produce fatal results, for which reason tuskers are, as a rule, not much appreciated. Our hunters, however, gave the preference to a good fighter, and seldom had reason to report of his choice, though on one occasion he had a very near escape. Having got into rather a slender tree, without the elephant being aware of it, the latter, taking him probably for a monkey, charged furiously, and seizing the sapling with his trunk bent it two or three times to the ground, but fortunately without breaking the stem. Had he succeeded in doing so, he would in his blind rage have probably trampled his master to death, though when at length the mahout succeeded in backing him, and the author dropped to the ground and called him by name, "Muarak Guj." he extended his trunk in the most friendly manner and hoisted him on to his head. A much more terrible danger was incurred by him with this same elephant when a tigress having sprung on to his head, Muarak, by a mighty shake, hurled his enemy and his rider into the air together, the latter being deposited unhurt in a nest of soft grass, which happily concealed him from the tigress, and out of which in fear and trembling he managed to make his way toward the approaching line of elephants, regaining his seat upon the head of Muarak Guj. A second time the tigress made a similar spring, but this time the rider believes that Muarak prevented the muscles of his neck from moving, so that the rider might not be unseated when he flung from him his assailant, the already wounded tigress being finally mastered by one of the female elephants, which fairly sat down upon her, and nearly smoth old tuskers.

tigress having sprung on to his head, Muarak, by a mighty shake, hurled his enemy and his rider into the air together, the latter being deposited unhurt in a nest of soft grass, which happily concealed him from the tigress, and out of which in fear and trembling he managed to make his way toward the approaching line of elephants, regaining his seat upon the head of Muarak Guj. A second time the tigress made a similar spring, but this time the rider believes that Muarak prevented the muscles of his neck from moving, so that the rider might not be unseated when he flung from him his assailant, the already wounded tigress being finally mastered by one of the female elephants, which fairly sat down upon her, and nearly smothered her in the mud. Though Mr. Barras believes that there is no limit to the sagacity and power of these creatures, which he ranks next to man in the animal kingdom, and though he depreciates the treatment they receive at the hands of the natives, he on one occasion so far forgot his own principles as to tease the elephant he was riding by imitating the roar of a tiger. He, however, very nearly met with his death from the enraged animal, which never afterward forgot the insult. Elephants seem to be perfectly able to distinguish between those who hurt them out of malice and those who do so for their good; thus even a dangerous one submitted with perfect patience to have her wounds dressed with brandy and salt, although the remedy is excessively painful. One of the female elephants, Maunt Dar, gave a wonderful example of gentleness and intelligence when, instead of revenging herself on the mahout who had used the goad with great severity when she was making her escape from a tiger, she simply took it out of his hand with her trunk at the first opportunity, and threw it over the wall of the court-yard into which she had retreated for shelter. A Thrilling Tragedy. Redwood Crrv, Cal., May 10.—The case of the People vs. Henry Casey came up for trial in the Justice's Court this morning. Casey was charged with assaulting Miss Julia Francis Sweeney, at Belmont at a picnic last Sunday. The prosecution failed to make out a semblance of a forcible assault. After the prosecution rested their case the defense opened up their side by placing upon the stand Jon Finnegan. Just as he had finished, the father of the girl (Sweeney) jumped to his feet, pulled a self-cocking pistol and fired three shots into the back of the prisoner. Casey sprang up at the first shot and fell to the floor after the third shot. A terrible scene was enacted in the court. The sisters of Casey were in a perfect frenzy, and the spectators were perfectly paralyzed. Casey's dying declaration was taken in short-hand, in which he stated emphatically that he was not guilty of the act. Sweeney was arrested and is now in jail. Casey is dead. An Equine Detective. PHILADELPHIA, May 8.—When the headless body of Frederick Stahl, a prosperous butcher, was found in Wissahickon creek three weeks ago, there were wheel tracks alongside the stream, which turned away from the creek at the point where the body was found, showing that the mutilated corpse had undoubtedly been brought there by the murderer in a wagon. Stahl's nearest friend and debtor, Robert Deiteric, was committed to prison yesterday on purely circumstantial evidence, to answer for the crime. To-day a novel experiment was tried, at the suggestion of Dr. Hulde Hoper, Professor of Veterinary Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, who is a firm believer in animal instinct. Deiteric's favorite horse, which has not been taken from the stable since the owner's arrest, was harnessed to a light wagod and driven to Germantown by the surgeon, coroner and detectives. At Germantown it was given a free rein and allowed a free head. "If the horse has ever been in this crooked road before," said Dr. Hopper, "he will take the same path he has gone over before, unless directed to the contrary." There are four forks in the road before the creek where the body was found is reached. The horse followed the right road slowly and sometimes walked. The underbrush was quite thick. The horse took the officers of the law to the borders of the creek, turned toward the bank and stopped at the actual spot where the body was found. The Mullein Plant. A good deal has been written lately about the mullein plant and its efficiency as a cure for consumption. Extracts and decoctions of this plant (Verboseum thapensis) were recently exhibited at the Cork Exhibition, but the judges would not pass any verdict, as the chemical and physiological properties have not yet been investigated. It is under the synonym of cow's lungwort, popularly looked upon as of value in diseases of the respiratory organs. In reference to the use of the above, Dr. Quinlan, of Dublin, writes to the British Medical Journal that three ounces of the green leaves should be boiled for ten minutes in a pint of new milk. The liquid is then strained, sweetened to taste, and drank while warm. This dose can be repeated twice or three times a day. This high authority has no doubt of its efficacy as a curative in the earlier, and a palliative in the later stages of pulmonary consumption. Care should be taken to use the leaves of the great mullein, known by its thick, musilaginous and woolly leaves. The wages of the paragraph—his ink come. But the top rail, I'll put him in the guard house.' That was as good a snap as we wanted. One man would take the top rail, the next man would take the next one, which was also the top rail, you see. Then the third one, the top one again, would go too. So next morning there wasn't a sign of a fence anywhere near our camp. But there wasn't a man arrested. The disappearance of the fences was reported to Col. Logan, but he smiled, and said: 'I thought the boys had sense enough to know that it was top rail all the way down.' Reason for the Change. An extraordinary story is told in English court circles, and has been retained by the Spiritualists, as to the reasons which induced the Queen at the last moment to alter the arrangements for Prince Leopold's funeral. It is said that a short time before his death, dancing with an intimate friend, a lady of Danish birth, of great personal beauty, and the wife of an English peer, he was rallied by her upon his unwonted abstraction. His answer was that his sister Alice had come to him in the night, warned him of an approaching calamity, and told him not to trouble, for all would soon be well. The royal Duke, like his mother, the Queen, seems to have accepted supernatural visitations as real, and he told the lady he would prefer if anything happened to him, to have a military funeral. Her ladyship, the recipient of these confidences, wrote a letter to a high court official telling him the story, and he laid the communication before her Majesty. At once the Queen ordered her dead son's desires, expressed in life, to be fulfilled. Hence that change at the last moment which led to so much perplexity and inconvenience. Some Old "Ads." The Wheeling Register collected some peculiar advertisements, which shows that not all the interesting matter in a newspaper is contained in the reading columns. Says the Register: Boston comes to the front with the following remarkable specimen in the Post: WANTED—A nurse for an infant between five and thirty, a member of the Church of England and without followers. Apply, etc. The next is taken from a London paper: LOST—A cameo brooch, representing Venus and Adonna while walking in St James' Park Sunday afternoon. Finder will be rewarded by apply to, etc. This is from the Stillwater Lumberman: SAWMILL man should buy Lecomb's straight-tailed dog. Can be fastened by a stud driven on the pier; grips a log firmly with both jaws and is guaranteed not to fly off. And the last appears in the Cincinnati Enquirer: LADY going abroad has a piano she would marry to a cash buyer with carved legs; rosewood case and elegant tone. GAZETTE. MAY 17, 1884. NO. 32 The Divorce Case in Irish High Life. London Times. Decitation to ignore the insult in the case of Euston and such a tale as that under a plot of a novel of a play, I have been reproved for the probabilities of life and mining after effects. We can skim Collins, in his most inning hours, devising some men; but the facts proved him form before Sir James to shade the staple of nature.

The wives of the different Presidential candidates take a lively interest in the canvass and the relative strength of their respective husbands, says a Washington letter. They read all the political news carefully, and keep themselves as well posted as many of the leading politicians. Many men have been induced to change their allegiance from one candidate to the other through the persuasive influence of these ladies. Mrs. Blaine stands at the head of the list. She is regarded as the favorite, in the sense that she has the brightest prospects before her. A canvass of Washington society, however, would not show a very large majority for the wife of the "plumed knight." Mrs. Blaine is not popular among the ladies. She has too abrupt a manner, and frequently passes by some of her acquaintances without speaking. Between Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Carlisle there is a decided coldness. It dates back a number of years. Mrs. Blaine was one of the leaders of society here before Mrs. Carlisle first made her appearance. They had known each other in Kentucky, however, and Mrs. Carlisle was ready to resume her friendship as of old. She met with rather a cold reception and resented it. She did not appreciate the rules and regulations governing Washington society which makes it as hard for a new member to get recognized, as it is for a new Senator to establish himself in the Senate. Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Carlisle have not spoken for a number of years, although they frequently meet at the same receptions. Mrs. Blaine can be very pleasant when she wishes to be. In the last few months she has exerted herself to please and she has gained many new friends. Mrs. Logan attends to the greater part of her husband's correspondence. She has direct supervision of all his soldier letters. No soldier ever wrote a note to the General HOUSEHOLD HINTS. FRITTERS.-All kinds of fruit are now or may be used in fritters; bananas are the latest novelty; they should be alized thin, and a liberal quantity used. COCONUT IN JICE CREAM.-Fresh grated coconut is considered by some cooks a welcome addition to plain ice cream. It should be put in and mixed with the cream after that has commenced to freeze. SLICKED ORANGE.-It is a popular fancy just now to serve orange sliced very thin, with powdered sugar sprinkled over them at the close of an elaborate meal, whether it be dinner or supper; and certainly nothing could be more refreshing after eating heartily of meats or salads. ZEYPHERS.-Heat two cups of boiled hominy, adding sufficient water to make it thin enough to pour. Add a piece of luster as large as an English walnut, and a little salt. Have ready iron gem-pans, heated very hot, and well buttered. Fill these with the hominy, and bake half an hour in a hot stove. BROILED POTATOES.-Cut cold boiled potatoes in slices a third of an inch thick. Dip them in melted butter and fine bread crumbs. Place in the double broiler and broil over a fire that is not too hot. Garnish parsley, and serve on a hot dish. Or season with salt and pepper, toast till a delicate brown, arrange on a hot dish, and season with butter. ORANGE WAFERS.-One-half pound of sugar, one-quarter pound of flour, four eggs. Separate the whites and the yolks and beat very light; one lemon, half the ring and all the juice, or lemon extract. Drop from a teaspoon on battered paper, and bake in a quick oven. Spread the under side with orange marmalade and place two together. These are delicious. VEAL CREAM SOUP.-Boil the remnants of a roast of veal until the meat falls from the At the Rail Fence. Jack Logan?" echoed a short, with a beard all over his face, in inquiry of a Chicago Herald should say I did. Was he the war. He was my old one he was, too. Jack the best men that ever der him. Just to show you he was, I'll tell you a tale, down in Kentucky, when march, the nights were cold, a clean sweep of the neighborhood. The residents'orders were issued that let alone. But Colonel Boys: 'You may take the match anybody taking any.' I'll put him in the guard as good a snap as we can would take the top rail, would take the next one, the top rail, you see. Then on top one again, would go running there wasn't a sign near our camp. But man arrested. The disappences was reported to Col. Called, and said: 'I thought he enough to know that it one way down." For the Change. Against Divorce. In Worcestershire. England, in 1768, a blacksmith of 90 was wedded to a girl of 15, and at somewhat earlier date a soldier of King William's war, aged 95, was united to a miss who had scarce reached her 16th year. Also, in the last century, in Berkshire, a blind man of 90 married a young woman of 20, and in this case the bride had no share of the consolation offered Miss Sally Perrybridge, her contemporary, who at the age of 16 resolved to sacrifice her maiden charma on the altar of Hymen for love of Mr. Joseph Whittaker, 95 years old, to be sure, but possessed of a fortune of £50,000. In 1749, in Scotland, William William Hamilton, a man of both position and learning, though greatly mishapen through disease, his legs being drawn up to his ears, his arms turned backward, and all his limbs out of joint, was married to "pretty Jane Lindsay;" he was 80 and she 16 years of age. Like instances, though less extreme, of the wedding of December and May have occurred within the knowledge of nearly every one. Surely her friendship as of old. She met with rather a cold reception and resented it. She did not appreciate the rules and regulations governing Washington society which makes it as hard for a new member to get recognized, as it is for a new Senator to establish himself in the Senate. Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Carlisle have not spoken for a number of years, although they frequently meet at the same receptions. Mrs. Blaine can be very pleasant when she wishes to be. In the last few months she has exerted herself to please and she has gained many new friends. Mrs. Logan attends to the greater part of her husband's correspondence. She has direct supervision of all his soldier letters. No soldier ever wrote a note to the General without receiving a reply, no matter how significant he may be. Mrs. Logan says that on many days she either dictates or writes over 100 letters. She is by far the best posted politician of any of her lady contemporaries. In some respects she is superior to her husband in her ability to pull political wires. She never makes an enemy if it is possible to avoid it. She is very popular everywhere. It is a common thing to hear Democratic statesmen say: "If we must have a Republican President for four years more, then let it be Gen. Arthur." To Mrs. McElroy is due this expression of regard. She has materially advanced her brother's prospects by the manner in which she presided over the Executive Mansion. Mrs. John Sherman has a certain set of followers that are very devoted. She has little personal magnetism and makes friends simply by her intellectual force. She is quite tall, and has a cold, haughty manner toward strangers, but to her intimate friends she relaxes and makes herself very entertaining. As mistress of the White House Mrs. Sherman would require everything to be in good form. Mrs. Carlisle has a great many friends. She would make a very popular mistress of the White House, and would institute a very brilliant administration from a social status, if her husband was elevated to the executive chair. Mrs. Edmunds has been in mourning during the past winter, and has taken no active part in society. She is very fond of society, however, and is not utterly oblivious to the prospect of her husband's reaching the Presidency. May and December. In Worcestershire.

Strawberry Shortcake.-This favorite tea cake is made out of layers of shortcake, made in the usual manner, and sweetened strawberries. The shortcakes are baked in pie plates, and should be about half an inch thick when done. As soon as they are taken from the oven they should be split and buttered generously while hot. The strawberries should have been previously hulled, mashed smooth with a silver fork, and made very sweet, a little cream mixed with them being a great improvement. For seven or eight persons the following proportions would answer: Shortcake-One quart of sifted flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one even teaspoonful of soda, or two tablespoonfuls of baking powder, a quarter of a pound of butter and lard, and a half pint of milk. Layers of strawberries: One quart of fresh, ripe strawberries; one tencupful of white sugar and one gill of cream. Arrange the layers thus: First, on a large dish or plate put the split half of a shortcake; the buttered side up; cover it completely with a layer of the prepared strawberries; then another cake; buttered side up; until the pile is complete; when the crust side should be on top; dotted over with fresh, whole berries; sprinkled thickly with fine granulated sugar. A small glass of rich milk completes the feast. For the Change. A story is told in English has been retailed by the reasons which induce the last moment to alter the Prince Leopold's funeral.

Like instances, though less extreme, of the wedding of December and May have occurred within the knowledge of nearly every one. Against Divorce. At the Methodist Episcopal Conference in Philadelphia last week, the report of the Committee on Marriage and Divorce was adopted. It included a comprehensive preamble setting forth the danger to the social fabric from increasing irreverence for the marriage vow and granting divorces for other than Scriptural causes. The report also contained stringent resolutions on the subject of divorce, which it advised should be adopted by the General Conference as an addition to discipline. One of the sections declared "that no divorce shall be recognized as lawful in the sight of God except for adultery." Some people are proud of one thing, some of another. "Dan. Scott" is evidently proud of his wife, as appears from the following announcement from the Glasgow Herald: "Scott—At 7 Burnside street, on the 29th ult., the wife of Dan. Scott was safely delivered of triplets, two boys and one girl—all doing well—this making seven of a family in four years and seven months, having given birth twice to twins—August 29, 1879, twins; October 21, 1881, twins; March 29, 1884, triplets. Other papers please copy." A Michigan man who stole a cow eight years ago, being lately converted, offers to make restoration by giving to the owner of the stolen creature another cow. But the other man insists that in addition to the cow he should have paid interest for the time which has passed. No compromise between confession and forgiveness had been made at last advices. Capital Comfort. Washington, D.C.—Mrs. Mary, K. Sheed 1110 Maryland avenue, Washington D.C., states, that for several years she had suffered terribly with facial neuralgia and could find no relief. In a recent attack which extended to the neck, shoulders, and back, the pain was intense. She resolved to try St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain reliever. Kabbing the parts affected, three times only, all pain vanished as if by magic, and has not returned. C. L. M. Winkleman, a resident of Mendocino county, on a wager, disposed of the following bill of fare at a restaurant in Ukiah: Three beefsteaks, 3 cans of oysters, 2 cans of peaches, 2 cans of sardines, 5 biscuit, 10 crackers, 4 potatoes, a dish of hominy, a plate of cakes, 4 cups of coffee and a glass of water. Time—32 minutes. Before eating the above he had partaken of a hearty supper. MATURITY. The sweetest little baby We dance upon our knee At thirty's oft a spinster As tart as tart can be. Tis so the fragrant blossom Upon the orchard tree Turns into an apple As sour as sour can be. At Portland, Oregon, the keepers of tan games have made an open offer of $500 reward for the death of any one who gives information to the police by which they may be arrested. Assaults with iron bars are so common now that they are not considered worth newspaper mention except in aggravated cases. At San Pablo last week Dr. Gardiner committed suicide by taking thirty grains of morphine. His wife, in her despair, took a dose of digitalis, with sinicidal intent, but by prompt action her life was saved. They had been married but one month. An umbrella carried over a woman, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain signifies courtship. When the man has the umbrella and the woman the drippings it indicates marriages.
