Ten yards muslin for 1.00 at the New York Store, ' Ladies dress gooa's at the New York Store for 12t cts. a yard; Faow Oramboland, (South Africa), April 23. I little expected when listining to Artomas Ward's five minutps' lecture on Africa that I would ever be found in its jungle shooting elephants, lions and other largo game. Mr. "Ward in his Uriel remarks, made a serious blun der when he said Africa was celebrated but for one thing, and that was 'the rose meaning, as ho explained it, the ne groes. Much as has been written on the subject, anil graphically as many parts of it have been described, there yet remains at least as much untold. I could fill your paper with my hair breadth escapes, personal encounters with the noble kings of the forest and other equally unpleasant and anhcying companions; describe the character and peculiarities of different nations, tnc nvcis, lakes and general appearance of the country, but will at present confine myself to my first elephant hunt. One word in regatd to Cape Ton n. It is about as filthy and undesirable a place for a permanent residence as could be found under the sun. Its population of near -10,000 is composed of about as motley a lot as ever existed in one place, one fourth white and the rest Malays, Hindoos, Madagascars, Mo zambiquers, Kalfits, Hottentots, Arabs, St. Helenans and a mixture of the whole, every shade of color from white to coal black. On landing you are shouted at in cVery imaginable tongue for the privilege of carrying yOur lug gage from the dock to the hotel. The houses are mostly one and two stories, built of brick; stuccoed and whitewash ed oii the odtside; with stoops project ing into the streets, which1 are, with one or two exceptions, without side walks. There is rio system df sewer age, which accounts for tlie filthy con dition of the place". ' The morning was clear, with Ihe usual accompaniment of intense Afri can heat. We ll-ft camp" at daybreak and pissed through a densely wooded country for two days, when we arrived at some large rain pools where we dis covered that elephants had but re cently slaked their thiist. We found fome bu.hmpn in the vicinity, and from them we learned that about five miles to the northward there was water, where the elephants had been drinking for every night for about a week. Leaving the cart we walked over near the water and encamped there for the night. Early next morn ing some of the bushmen went to the leviathan drinking rind bathing place and soOn returned with the cheering report that about fifteen elephants had been there during the night. By sun rise wo w ere up and ready for the fray. We started on the spoor (Dutch for track), and from that time, with llio exception of a few brief breathing spelli, we kppt up the march until near 1 o'clock, when we" overlook our game The sun was pouring its blistering rays down on us at about 110 degrees. The animals were first discovered by one of our bushmen, who had climbed a tree I to take observations, and were stand ing contentedly and on good terms with each other in the shade of some large trees. It recalled to mind iny youthful observations on the first ele phant I ever saw, and could hardly realize the fact that I was about to test with lead the capacity of the ele phantine hide. After a preliminary rest and consul tation we crept forward to within atboiit fifty yards of where the elephants stooid. On account of mv leadership I was given the honor of having the first shot. I cast my eyes over the herd and selected the largest in sight. 1 raised my gun nnd blazed away, the natives following with their shots im mediately after. Part 6f the herd, when they discovered tha condition of affairs, considered that discretion was the better part of valor and rushed away. But I soon found that I had as much as I could attend to without ob serving the actions of my companions, for the elephant I had wounded cock ed his ears, elevated his trunk, and with a loud trumpeting rushed straight for me at the top of his Speed. I soon found that the condition of affairs had been somewhat reversed; instead of me hunting the elephant, the d'ephant was exerting no inconsiderable amount of spe&d in hunting me. I did not stand Jong before the order of going, but fled with a speed that would have won atleast second prize in a go as-you-please match. By keeping to the leward of him and dodrjthg rimorig the bushes, I got out of I113 sight. Ho rushed im petuously by me, over thorn bush and young trees, perfectly crazed and mad with rage. Presently he returned on his own track and after cautiously fol'fkind. Double breech-loadin; ing him a short distance I got another. shot at him. He turned and charged again and I had the sharpest race for a quarter of a mile I over had in my 'life. He then gave up pursuit and turned back. I followed in his tracks which were covered with blood, and soon overtook him. I then prepared for a desptrato encounter, gave him a shot that broke his shoulder, and pre venting his charging again, left him "hors du combat." Blood' was stream ing from him and he was hardly able to move. Game was still in his eyes. Approaching within a few yards of him I gave him two more shots, and he sank on his knees and buried his long tusks in the ground. Ho made seyeral ineffectual attempts to rise to his feet but fell over lifeless. It was by far the most exciting hunt I over had, nnd you may believe I was not a little elated with my success. During the battle I had heard shots at times from my companions, who were pursuing the herd, anil soon after they came staggering in reported hav ing killed two elephants a bull and a cow. The one I killed was a large bull, with fine tusks, which weighed fifty-eight pounds each. The others were smaller. Cow tusks rarely ex ceed fifteen pounds. Leaving the ele phants we made our way back to tho water where wo arrived after dark, tired and hungry. The next day we sent for the car:, and tha people went out to dry meat from tlie elephants we had killed. When the cart came I went out with it ahd found meat pre pared to load and heaps of it scattered over tlie ground. Most of my people and a host of.bushmon who had cornn . 1 to the feast were gorged with eating. I never could understand how the bushmen find out that an elephant has been killed in their vicinity. You will not see a sign of them, but when n slaughter takes place they ccmo with the vultures and hyenas, all ready to partake of tho banquet. After cutting out the tusks, which are imbedded in the soft bone of the head for half their length, we loaded tho cart with meat and went back to the water. Tlie next day I went to another water, some miles away, to look for spoor, but found none. The day fol lowing bushmen that I had sent out caine in and reported having seen ele phant tracks, and that the animals were heading for a water that lay about two hours' walk beyond. I took the hunt to that place, and the same night a herd of thirty or forty was drinking there. Next hiorning we took the trail, and overtook them about 10 o'clock, and began the fight soon after, keeping it up until about 1 o'clock p. M., when from sheer exhaustion wo gave np the chase, having killed six elephants, two ot which tell to my share. Pour of tho six were cows, some of them with calves. One of the cows killed had a calf. It stopped by the body of its lifeless parent and it was indeed a pitiful sight to see the little orphan in tho fruitless attempts it made to arouse the dead mother. It was too young to feed, and knowing that it would perish, I had it killed. Cows fight with a desperation, I think, exceeding tho bulls. One of them camo very near ending my elephant hunting; at least in this world, that day. I had to throw my gun away and ran for my life. Thero was not much underbrush, and I had a long run beforo I could get out of her sight. If anyone can imagine a locomotive chasing him" through the woods, and barely escaping from it, they can have some idea of the charge of a wounded and infuriated elephant. It is not every man who h'as the nervo to hunt elephants at all, rJnd but few will stand a second charge, or risk v it. To get within reach of an elephant's probocis is Certain death. Although a very dangerous sport it is most exciting, and I must say I was proud of my vie tory over my first animal; a tremen dous, brute, standing at least ten or twelve feet high. When enraged the elephant stops at nothing. Bush and trees are no impediment to him, unless of large growth. Before closing this letter, and for the information of those who may con A Dlicoimt to Yearly Advertiser. $3 PER YEAR template visiting South Africa for sporting purposes, I will give them an idea of the kind of arris and ammuni tion I used. Guns used in African, hunting are of various caliber, and each man carries two or nioro of them. Ostriches are shot with rifles bt any carrying a ball weighing eight, ten and twelve to the pound, aro.usej for ele phants, rhinoceros, gn rifles; hipopot ami and other large game. Elephants have been killed with military breech loaders, such as tho J3nyder, WrStley, Iticliards, Winchester and Rertiiiigto'n,', . but these are not to ho depended on. , They penetrate well, but do hot scetn to produce shock enough to causs speedy death. Both round and coni cal bullets are used, tha latter some- . times steel pointed. Lead for all largo 4 game is hardened by the addition of tin or typo mpral. Pure lead would not break bones, and when an elephant has just come from a mud-wallow it. would hardly penetrate the hida. Correspondence Cleveland Plaiudealer.

Some of the Utah saints were last year somewhat disgusted at ths nuiu ber of dried up old bpecimpns who w era converted and imported. This year missionaries wero enjoined to look out a little more thoughtfully for younj subjects. A correspondent in' New, York, noticing a large batch just landed and en route for Utah, speaks" of the "largo number of fiesh yodng faces among the females of the com pany." They will lose bat little time' in New York, but will be promptly forwarded to headquarters, and b speedily distributed among tho harems under tho noses of the Governor, Pros ecutor and United States JuJges.
