Nevertheless, Major Crawshaw did not give up the laternation ; should do so by-and-by, but he aid not care to part with Miss Daly on had terms, and he thought he should prefer the final meeting to be pleasant and friendly, so that there might be a fair reminiscence of her forever afterward in his memory. Confound it i he was getting an old fool -his sister was right in her fears. He was softening. with uncommon rapidity. Miss Daly continued grave and distant in her manner -almost as if she owed him a grudge. She was always terribly busy with those abominable account - books, and would not look at him, ex- cept when be entered the counting- house, and then it was with so much calm surprise at his appearance -at his impudence in intruding upon the Private • apartments of the internationa, per- haps -that the poor major was fairly bewildered and discomfited. He had it out at last, though. The reader is aware he plumed himself on being straightforward. - "Miss Daly," he said one morning, "in what way have I offended yon ?" "I have not said you have given 'me offence," was the slow reply. "I have no right, possibly, to take offence." “But still you are offended; aud you are too truthful a girl to deny it." "And. you too clear-sighted. a man not . to know what is the cause," said Ruth Daly, facing hirn suddenly. The major turned red and then pale. In all his life he had. never felt in a more awkward position, but he acted. as a gentleman should. to a pretty wo- man. He gave in, and acknowledged his transgressions without atteMptiug an excuse. "I beg your pardon, Miss Daly, and. I am very sorry." There was so mournful an expression in the warrior's face that Miss Daly was softened at once. This was true contrition. "Very sorry?" she repeated. "Very." "Then I forgive you, major, if a poor girl's forgiveness is df any value to you." She held her hand toward. him, and was surprised to find that his was trembling. "You will aot let this happen again, will you ?" she said. TEM HUROA EXPOSITOR. SEPTEMBER 12, 1870,.

Stewart Craven, who is now living quietly on his cattle, ranch in Texas, was the inventor of a new system of handling elephants, and he actually broke every performing ele- phant now before the country, with the exception of the seven now with the Sells Brothers' show, which is over in Illinois.

"Of course I had no idea that you were fond.of hitn. You did. not let me into that 'seoret, Miss Daly," he stun- • mered forth, "or you would ha,ve found me still your friend.

"What are you talking about ?t-' she asked, in fresh amazement. • "About -young Todd," he answered, "of course." - "I'm not thinldng about young Todd," cried Ruth Daly, with •a pretty- little petulant outburst _that really became het.

" For Heaven's sake, girl, tell me what is my offence." Rah:. Daly looked athim aesd n sharp- ly and steadfastly, hut tho bright gray eyes of the soldier did. not flinch. He had hadenly one idea as to the cause of Miss Daly's reserve, and this bein.g dismissed, he was utterly lost. There Was no time to consider a fresh cause of grievance at thia juncture. were fe* shows that had -mora than ono elephant.

Very extraordinary, but people don't occasionally.

"There are about , fifty elephants in this country at the present time," said Professor George Arstiugstall, the keeper and the trainer of the ten moun- tains of flesh which form one of the at- tractions of the Cooper -Bailey show. The first elephant ever brought to the United States was by Hack. Bailey. iu 1824. It .was called "Betsy," and is -known in the profession . as "Betsy the First." It was exhibited for four years through New York State and New Eng- land. It was a great novelty. The owner travelled with it at night, and it was always exhibited in a building erected over it. The -old-timers tel about the great excitement it created throughout the country. The news of its coming would go before, and whole villages would turn put and spend. the night along the roadside in the hope of seeing the Creature, only known to them through pictures and the works of travellers. , What they generally beheld was a great shapeless mass, covered with tarpaulins, swinging along through the darkness, carefully guarded by at- tendaaits, who kept the curious rustics at a distance. It was not a very .big elephant, and came from Upper India. It wasanything but amiable, and had a, habit of tearing out the side ot its house and starting off on' go -as -you -please" ex- cursions. This --was_ a fatal folly of Betsy's. One niritt-Betsy was out near Albany, New York. She was mad about something, aud venting her rage in the exasperating shriek peculiar to an elephant. She got into a plucky farnaer's yard.. He saw the monster. He did not know! What it was. The only thing that he knew was that he was badly frightened and, that he knew how to use a gun. He fired at the creature, and the leaden bullet pierced- t her heart. She sank to the earth and., died, moaning piteously. Her keeper arrived. .She was stuffed, and I believe some museum- has her now. "Where are most of the elephants from?" . "All those prior to 1850 were from Upper Iudia. The bulls were wild, restless, wicked creatures. • Most of those 110W on exhibitron are Ceylonese elephants. They are much more tract- able than their brethren of the north.
