At the beginning of the fight he lost his master. The “mahoot, or driver, had just given the word to halt, when he received a fatal wound and fell to the ground, where he lay under a heap of slain. The obedient elephant stood still while the battle ied. He never stirred a foot, refusing to advance or retire, as the conflict became hotter and fiercer, until the Mahrattas, seeing the standard still flying steadily in its place, refused to believe that they were “being beaten: and rallied again and again around thé colors. And all this while, amid the din of battle, the patient animal stood straining its ears to catch the sound of: that voice it would never hear again. At length the tide of conquest left the field deserted. ‘Bhe Mahrattas Swept on in pursuit of the flying foe, but the elephant, like a rock, stood there, with the dead and dying around, and the ensign waving in its place. For three days . and nights it remained where its master had given the command to halt. No bribe or threat could move it. They then sent to a village 100 miles away and brought the mahoot’s little: son.

Variety of Queer Sayings and oda Deings Recently Noted im the Sunrise State, One day lately the entire summer colony of the island of Monhegan turned out and helped the fishermen dress and salt 50 barrels of mackerel. It Has been a hard year for the fishermen, for, on account of lack of bait and food fishes, the cod fishery hasbeen a complete failure, and the unexpected taking of the 50 barrels of mackerel created great excitement along shore. The fish were small and:the-weather warm, so that they had to be dressed and packed at once or they would spoil, So many men had“gone away to the meinland looking for employment that there were not. enough left to care for the mackere]. The summer boarders volunteered their services, and men and women were soon standing about the dories and splitting tables, dressed in their oldest clothes and working with might and main to help the fishermen. Well-known men and women of New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Kansas City all plied the splittingknife and the “gibber,” and at sunset the last mackerel had been salted and $500 saved for the fishermen, “~~~ Gom Paul’s Cold Feet, “I met Oom Paul when he was here a good many years ago, He was an honest old soul, but rough, certainly.

There are lots of men in Wall street who sign million-dollar: checks and think less of it than some people would of hundred-dollar checks. The Bank of England holds the record for -big checks. This institution issued one for $55,000,000 and another for $622,500,000. These valuable pieces of paper were drawn in connection with the last Chinese loan. One of the smallest checks ever issued was for one cent. Uncle Sam gave this to Grover (Cleveland in payment of salary, there being a discrepancy in the accounts to that amount. Mr. Cleveland did not need the money, so he framed the check as a curiosity. The big insurance companies get a good many large checks, some of them running from a hundred thousand to half a million dollars. Big checks float around in greater number among the members of the stock exchange than'in almost any other place. A big block of railroad stock was sold just a few days ago, and a check for $3,500,000 given in payment, When Uncle Sam handed over to Spain four orders, or checks, on New York’s subtreasury for $20,000,000, most people’s eyes bulged out at so much cash being represented by such small bits of paper. The man who cashed them, however, never so much as winked his eye ashe beheld them. Heis used to such transactions, as it is a common thing for Uncle Sam to make drafts away up in the millions.
