podroine. She is also the most intel
hgeut, and in ring feats and all the
tricks lor which other elephants have
been unions, as well as in iitinnmber
ed other that Gypsy' trainer claims
n her own, she is lemaakablv clover,
Gypsy is possessed of wotivlci ful sa
gaeity; bill never until yesterday
morning lm alio bad occasion to d-
niomliatu how little she owed to her
education, when ii became iiece rv
lor her to act promptly for herself,
She wa ordered out lor rehearsal
ul 11 o'clock. She followed In i
keeper from the stall in the menagerie,
to tlie gslo opening into d o circus.
At this uoiui there is a level briibre
of thick plank. co cring a subter
ranean apar mi ni twi iityt wo feci
sijuarc, In which, in times past, il was
cntomary to house certain mysterious
animal until the exigencies ol "Dine
beard" or other pniiiomiucH required
their presence in tlie innier world.
when they were shot to the surface
through the ordinary trap.
Gypsy was nearly uerossiliu bridge
when, with a crash, the heavy tim
bers gave way, and down into the
cavern, fifteen feet below, the ponder
ous beast lcll, flat upon her side.
Tie circus hands were immediately
on tho spot, and various unsuccessful
attempt were made to get Gypsy
out.
At last Mr. June bethought him of
the na'.uial amae'ity of the animal,
and ordered a number ot bale of hay
to be brought, One by one thme
were rolled into th cavity, and as
these eauio down Gypsy placed her
fore feel upon il and wailed patiently
for the next, taking caro to place it
in position before she attempted ti
itirlher ascent. She was soon aid-' to
mount to the surface, where she was
met with cheers. , She suffered no in
juries more serious than a slight afna
sion of lliu skin ou her side.
"You'll never get Gypsy in cross
lliut bridge aguin,", Mr. Keeler, a
showman ot thirty year experience,
said. ' Win ii an elephant lias once
met with an accident, il will forever
avoid ilie spot where il oceured.
Some vear ago I waa showing Km
press, a bigger Elephant than Gypsy,
up in Vermont. Once we went en
tering a little town through' which a
narrow but dei p stream. r.in. Thi
waa tnianned bv II stiotiu wooden
bridge, bill it wa's not stn ng enough
to su'pperl the elephant, The In idge
want to pieces under her life tons ol
sofid flesh, and she fell into '.he creek.
We had Nicodeinns's own timo in
gelling her out. Thuo years after
ward we were about to enter the
. . . I. . I ..! I
same town. .Mean ume inu uuuge
had 'jccii made level wilh the hi reel,
house had been built light tip to i.
en cither side, the bridge wa cover
ed with dirt, and none of n knew
that il was within a mile. Empress
did know. We tried all soil ol
ways to eel her up the street, but she
wouldn't limine: and at lust wo weio
obliged to take her around llio town
and lead liur in bv another road. She
went like a lamb."

Butler ii 1'ollrge.
In a recent interview Don Butler
thus related one ot his college experi
ences:
"Another ol our pranks at oollege
was tho breakit'g up ol an abolition
meeting. The English philanthropist
who died the other' day, Gcorgo
Thompson, was" to speak in tht col
lege low'n. The students shared the
common feeling against tho good
iiihii. We thought he was abusinr
Amci icans, and our patriotic prido re
belled at this. We did not want t
get into a set ape; so, after debating
li e matter several night we hit upon
llio following plan. We went into
the country and paid an old farmer
SO cent to allow us to catch In his
barn all the swallows we wanted.
We got a dozen or so, ami the night
ot the meeting a number, of us were
present, distributed judiciously about
the room, each boy with a swallow in
hi pocket. Tlie church waa lighted
by old lasliioned chandeliers. holdinr
each three or tour whole oil lamps.
At o given signal, when the exercise!
were well under way, tho swallow!
wtre let loose, and in the twinkline
of an eyo out went tho light. Tl:t
birds, of course, went st might for th
lights, and the rush of air caused by ,
their wings put the lumps out. We
kissed a gulortwo, and they, of
course, shrieked. All was comnx).

Thin llio moderator demanded si- .
lence; said that some unaccountable
accident had put tho lights out, but
the audience must tit quiet and pre '
serve order, and the lamp would soou
bo lighted. V , . .;
'1 he sexton hurried - away for
toich there were no lucier matches
in those days and presently he came
back wild a lighted candle. As he
came into church, holding it in front
of his face tuid shielding it wilh ono
band, tlie swallows, of counc, went
tor the light, and ono ot them struck
the cundle, knocking' it out ol the
old man' hand and into his face. II
tumbled back, gave a yell of fright,
and gathering himself up took to his
heels, vowing there were spirits there,
sure. The crowd, now frightened in
earnest, the students leading, got out

The Devil's Fruit.
Total oe were first introduced at
Moscow by a Mr, Kowlund, eighty or
ninety year ago, At first the people
would r.eiihcr plant nor touch them,
saying they wtre tho devil's fruit,

God that hu had ne Iruit, wh u he
wns told to search in the earth for
some w hich Im did, and found pota '
toes, A curious Berwickshire legend
which, however, is palpably anach
ronic, attributes the introduction of
potatoes into Scotland to that famous
wjard of the North, Sir Michael
Scoit. The wizard ami tho devil,
being in partnership, took a lease of
the farm on iheMartnuu estate, called
Whitehouse. The . wiaard was to
nianago tho farm, tho devil managed
tho capital, . The produce was to be
divided as lollows: the hrst year
Sir .Michael was to have all that grew
above tho ground, and his partuer all
that grew below; the second year the
shares were to bu I he opposi'.e way.
His Satanic .Majesty, a i usual in
such cases, was fairly overri ached in
hi bargain, lor the wizard cunningly
sowed all the land in the first year
with wheat, und planted il with pota
toes the second, so that the devil got
nothing for hi share but w heal stub
hie and potato lops. And thi
courting rotation Sir Michael eon
tinned until he had notcnly beggared
hi partner, but exhausted the soil.
In spite of this legend, however, we
must t oniiniie to g't e credit to Sir
Waller l.uleigh for having been the
introducer of potatoes into that coun
try. Tho first that tried then:, we
are tt Id, fell into the very natural
mistake of eating Ihe apple and dis
regarding iho roots.
