O’erthrow a pike, or smash the glasses. They ordered each a. foaming can, And then the elder thus begun :â€" “ N00 Charlie, if thou’ll gan wi’ me, I’ll take thee to a sartain tree, Where mellow peaches hang: by dozens, And near them, apricots, their cousins : The Miss won’t hear, the ParSOn’s blind, Besides he is so very kind, That if we're catched, he’ll ask the beak To let us ol’f.

I had been smiled more than a year upon my coffee eslate in lhe wild Jungles of Ceylon, when one mmning, during the ' idle season, as I stood belore m} bungalow, gaping, stretching, and wondering how I might best amuse myself for the day. a Coolie servant came up :0 me‘ hatred and panting, and placed in my hand the l'ullowing note : “ Yours most truly, “ CHARLES HoLuNGswottTn. “ Mango Hill Retreat.” Nothing at a. moment could ltavel given me rnore pleasure than this invitation to set off in quest of a ‘ rogue ’ elephantâ€"Jar the sport Would certainly have that spice of danger so necessary to quicken blood that had become too sluggish under the enervating influence of the sweltering tropics. “ Tell your master l am coming, Moonahee,” said I, as I turned a- way 10 go! my rille and ammuni- tion (including: zinc ballsâ€"{or lead is 100 soft for an elepham's head), and order my horse under saddle in the quickest possible time. Hall an hour eaw me on the way tQ Mangn Hill Retreat, distant, ten miles, with three Coolie srunning alongside and keeping pace with my impatient gallop; and as I dash along, let me tell you , what the term of ‘ rouge elephant’ means, in case you have never heard it be- fora. lon, at the time I lihed there, there' were hundreds and thousands of wild elephants. which generally moved about in small herds. and were not usually dangerous to man, though destructive to proper- llVâ€"u‘o much so, that Government THE PEACE STEALERS. [n the forest and jugglps of Cey- frittmtutr. 1mm). Let Sound Reason weigh more withsus than Popular Opinion. RICHDIOND HILL, FléibAY, APRIL 5, 1867" had set a price upon the head of each. In herds, as. l have said these huge animals were but little feared even by the natiVes , but it occasionally so happened trom what cause I have never been able to learn, that an old :tuslter wou'd become detached ‘lm’m his com- panions, and. like a maddened human Malay, seem to devote the remainder of his life. to running a muckâ€"~or, in other words, to at- tacking and killing every living thing he could reaeh, whether man or beast , and all from pure malice -lrom an inl'ernallury that noth- ing but his own death could ap-t pease. With one ofthese lurious‘ monsters abroad. no one was safe. Fences were no barriers to his pro«‘ areas; a Coolie hut‘might be crush- ed like the sheilfiof an egg; a bungalow be brought crashing about the ears of the master ; and even a whole village has been hall'de’stroyed and the inhabitants put to flight by a'single beast. In the lanuuage of the country, this dangerous animal was termed a rogue elephantuthough “ mad” elephant would have been by lar a more appropriate appellation. When one of these was abroad. it was the duty of every man, as the note to me expressed, to turn out and hunt him to the death; and I was now hastening forward to per- lor. n the part ofa good citizen. When about hallâ€"way between my house and Hollingsworlh's, In a Wild romantic part of the coumry, just where the road or path I was pursuing led down into a dark valley across a bright stream into a strip ol'levelj'mgle, the Coolies running by my side suddenly stopped and )elped out in ierror. pointing to some huge fresh foot- prints, ihat the rogue elephant had jast passed.

Leaving the beast in their charge I remounted my horse and finished my ride to Mango Hill ’cetreat. where! found Hollingworth and some half a dozen others only waiting for my arrival to begin the perilous hunt to which I had been invited. When I told them. my adventure, they could hardly credit my story, and rode back with me to be confirmed of its truth. The result made a great man at me in all my region; and probably no one act of my life everaflorded me so much satisfaction, taken in all its bearings as my encounter with, and destruction of, that savage rogue elephant. No general. after a great vicâ€" tory, ever felt his triumph more triumphantly than! «lid, as I quie t- ly walked up, seated myselt on the dead monster of the wildemess, and received, like a ktng upon his throne, the congratulations and; praises of my joyful servants, who‘ now gathered around me, shouting and dancing. formidable, dreaded rogue elephant is dead.

Dr. J. \V. Burnett recently re.- lated before the Bbst‘on Natural; History Scoletv some experiments and investigations made with- the” ralllesnake, which will be found ins \ereslingv We give and cxlracfi below : " The virulenCe of the poison of" these reptiles is too well known for‘ special description. I5 will only‘ add,there is good reason for the belteft'hat‘ its a‘ctint‘t‘ is the same upon all living th1nus Vegetables as well as animals. t,l‘t i‘s evenjust as fatal to the snake ilself as other animals; for Dr. Dearin‘g informed me that one of' his specimens. after' being irrltate‘d art'd’annoyed in- its: cage in moving suddenly, acciâ€" dentallv struck one of its fangs into its own‘ body; it soon rolled over' and died, as any other animal; would haVe done. Here, then, we have the remarkable, and perhaps unique, phvsiologic'al 121,0! of a liquid secreted directlv from the blood. which proves deadly when introduced into the very source (the blood) from which it was de- Irivedt With the view of" ascertain- ing the power and amount of poiâ€" son, Dr. Deming performed the following experiment. The snake was a very large and vicious one, ~ ‘add very active at the time. He took eioht half grown chickens, and‘ allowed the snake to strike at each under the wing as fast as they could be presented to him. The first died immediately, the second afterfla few minutes ; the third aften {FIT [CH |lllll|llLa , Illk: .\ru..-. . ..-_.- than an hour; the fifth after twelve hours; the sixth was sick and» drooping for: several days, but re;- covered ;, the seventh was only slightly affected ;- and" the eights not at all. Willi my second re- maining spectmenl was desire“ of perlorming several experiments- as to the action of this- poison on blooi'. The following is one 2‘ The. snake was quite active, and, as any one‘approachecl the cage, began to rattle violeetly; but twentyofive or thirty drops of clilorolorm: being‘ allowed to fall on, his head; one slowly after the other. the sound' olz his rattles gradually died away, and in a» few minutes he was wholly under the effbcts of this agent. He was then‘adroitly seiz- ed behind the jaws with the. thumb and forefinger, and dragged} from the cage, and allovved parti‘ ally to resuscitate ; in this state at aecond person held his tail to prew vent his coiling around the arm- of the first whileda third opened his mouth and with a pair of iorceps pressed the fang upward causing a flow of the poison. which‘ was-ree- ceived on the end of a scapel. The‘ snake was then returned into the: cage, Blood was then exilacledi lrom a finger for microscopical ex- amination. The smallest quantity ol the poison being presenled to the- biomi between the glasses, a: change was immediately percelved, "the corpuscl'es ceased‘to run and' pile together, and remained" stagv nsnt without anv special alteration: of structure: the whole appear ance was as though the Vitality of the blood had been' sudtlénly deg-- troyed, exactly as in death from- lightening; This agrees, also, with another experiment Derformed on afmvl, where the whole mass oftl’te blood appeared liquid. and ‘having little coagulable power. The physiological action of this poison in animals is probably that of a most powerful' sedative vaclim: through the blood on the nervous centres.
