are generally the teachers— uncon­
sciously, perhaps, but none the
less are they responsible for what
follows. For instance, many chil­
dren want a light in the room to
sleep by, and perhnps a watcher to
sit by them until they have fallen
asleep. Barents sometimes com­
plain that this is such a care and
trouble, b u t sny: “ My child won’t
go to sleep alone or in the dark.”
Whose fault is that? Who taught
the child that a light could be kept
burning while it was going to sleep,
or that somebody would sit by its
bedside? An infant would never
have imagined it unassisted. The
first time it was done taught the
child that it was possible, and who

A burglary by elephants is a nov­
elty in the chronicles of crime, and
one which it is to be hoped will
not become common among those
exlreinely intelligent and powerful
animals. The elephants in ques­
tion concocted and carried out, in a
remote part of India, as determin­
ed a piece of “crib-cracking” as
was ever committed, and, after rob­
bing the premises of the rice it
contained, made off. The police,
ns usual, have a “clew,” which they
hope may lead to the apprehension
of the offenders; but meanwhile
those monstrous housebreakers
have betaken themselves, to their
stronghold in the middle of the
jungles, and for all the constabu­
lary know, may be there concocting
some fresh outrage.
It appears
that a party of "soldiers who had
been on guard over a certain gran­
ary bad noticed for some time the
ambiguous behavior of certain
wild elephants that lived in a
neighboring forest.
The animnls
used to lurk about the premises in
a suspicious manner. They were
often found “loitering,” as the po­
lice say. But the object of their
sinister^manceuvers was not guess­
ed, and by and by the herd left the
place, leaving only one aged fe­
male behind them. Now it hap­
pened that some, disturbance in a
village a little distance on necessi­
tated the withdrawal of tho guard,
and one fine morning tho soldiers
marched away, leaving the gran­
ary unprotected. No sooner had
this happened than the old ele­
phant, who was really a confeder­
ate of the herd, got news of tho
soldiers’ departure conveyed to the
gang, and ¿>ack they all canif’
They weie evidently there* with a
purpose, for two camp followers,
who had been left by the guard to
look after some militaiy kit that
was not taken on the march, state
that tho elephants advanced so
briskly to the scene that they had
no time to escape, but, climbing
up into a tree, became spectators
of the burglary which tho herds
proceeded in the most workman­
like manner to commit forthwith.
First of all the elephants examin­
ed the building on all sides, but
finding it a four-square mass of
masonary without any such weak
points as doors or windows, tLey
tested the corners, and, at last, hav­
ing decided that one particular an­
gle was the best for their purjrose,
they stood aside, while the giant
of the number, the Anak of the
Anakim, came to the front and at­
tacked the brickwork. For a long
time they all remained in their
ranks, watching their vast compan­
ion at work, and, when he with­
drew', another took his place and
continued the job. As soon as lie
got tired a third came forward, and
by this time, the breach being
large enough for co-oj>evation, sev­
eral joined iu and begau tearing
out the bricks as fast as possible,
so as to make the opening suffi­
ciently commodious for their en­
trance.
When this was accom­
plished the herd divided into small
parties of three ami four, and each
of them in turn marched into the
granary, ate their monstrous bod­
ies full of rice, and gave place to
the next, those who were satisfied
retiring to some distance, but in
different directions, and there act­
ing as scouts for their friends who
were still eating. The whole of
the herd, in this meth(Hlic.il but
very deplorable manner, enjoyed
what the Americans call “a mortal
gorge” — that is, a meal which is
something more than merely
“squaro”
—and were conversing
i
O to-
getlier in a desultory manner upon
the success of their exploit when
a shrill cry from one of their sen­
tries warned them of danger, and
the marauders hastily decamped.
It was the soldiers coming back to
their post; and when they saw’ the
havoc that had boon wrought, and
the elephants tranquilly surveying
them from the brow of a hill about
a mile off, their wrath, natural
enough under the circumstances,
was such that they loaded up tho
field piece which accompanied the
detachment, and let' drive at the
burglars. The elephants, however,
who had only come to dine off rice,
had no appetite for flve-pounder
shells by way of dessert, and stroll­
ed a\v«y into the forrest, trumpet­
ing as they went, probably in de­
rision, and gamboling, we regret
to say, in a frivolous manner, which
was quite inappropriate to the cir­
cumstances and in the worst possi­
ble taste. The fact, nevertheless,
remains that the elephants planned
and carried into execution a delib­
erate burglary, and finally escaped
with impunity, taking away with
them inside their capacious per­
sons several tons weight of public
property.—(London Telegraph.

Nowadays a train of cars ia bare­
ly sufficient to accommodate those
who travel hundreds of miles
charged with tho important duty
of informing a candidate thut he
has been nominated for the Presi­
dency.
Long speeches are made
and the notification costs many
thousands of dollars.
But this is
not all. The candidate must write
a letter of acceptance, giving his
views on pretty much every’ sub­
ject lie can think of.
These jonr-
neys, parades, speech-makings nnd
long letters are of comparatively
recent origin.
The convention that nominated
General Taylor met in Philadel­
phia, June, 7,1848. The chairman
was the Hon. John Morehend of
Noitli Carolina.
On the 10th of
that month Governor Morehead
addressed General Taylor a letter
officially notifying him of his nom­
ination.
The distraction into-
which the whig party was thrown,
by General Taylor’s nomination
was not made less in the ensu­
ing thirty-five days by the silence
of General Taylor.
Governor
Morhead in reply to inquiries by
leading whigs—notably Mr. Weed
—said he had positively written the
General, and he knew of no rea­
son why the reply w’as not forth­
coming. Generul Taylor wTas such
a crotchety old fellow’, and whig
leaders in general knew so little of
him personally, that it was not
thought best to stir him up on the
subject.
Letters from the old
soldier^'vere appearing in differ­
ent quarters, some of them not
altogether satisfactory to whig
leaders, but not a w’ord came to
them about the nomination. It be­
gan to look like an indignity. Mr.
Weed, to whom more than any
other man General Taylor owed hia
nomination, was desperate under
the suspense. Meetings w’ere pro­
posed and one was actually called
in Albany, looking to the repudia­
tion of the nomination.
When it
met, however, oilier counsels pre­
vailed, though the suspense con­
tinued. On July 22d the postmas­
ter at Baton Rouge, where Gener­
al Taylor lived, addres.-ed the post­
master-general a letter, saying that
with the report for the current
quarter from that office two bun­
dles of letters were forwarded to
the dead letter office, they having
been declined on account of the
non-paymeet of the postage by the
senders.
It was in the ten-cent
and 11011 -prepayment tiino Of the
forty-eight letters thus forwarded
to the dead letter office, the Baton
Rouge postmaster said the major­
ity were addressed to General Tay­
lor, who had declined to pay the
postage 011 them and take them
out of the office liecause his mail
oxpences had become burdensome.
The general hail since become
aware that some of the letters W’ere
of importance and asked for their
return. I 11 due time the letters
were sent back to Baton Rouge.
Among them was Governor More-
lieiid’s letter notifying General
Taylor of the action of the Phila­
delphia convention.
General Taylor’s response wtib
dated July 15th, a month and five
days after the letter of notification
was written.
It lmd lain in the
Baton Rouge postoflice four weeks
after General Taylor refused[ to
pay the ten cents postage.
General Taylor’s acceptance was
couched in respectful terms, in a
letter not exceeding 250 words.
He expressed his thanks for the
nomination, said he did not seek
it, and that if he were elected
president, for which jiosition he
did not think lie posseessd the requi­
site qualifications, he would do his
best.
He discussed nothing, laid
down no principles, and gave no
indications of what course lie
would pursue.
In this the Gen­
eral cut it too short to satisfy the
whigs.
He had to write another
letter—one of considerable length
—to his friend, Captain Allison, in
which lie set things right
The
authorship of this letter wras the
subject of no little conjecture.
If
living, Thurlow Weed and Alex­
ander Stephens could shed light
on the subject.
After that the campaign went
ahead smoothly nnd successfully.
Although Mr. Weed makes no
mention of this matter in his book,
it was one of the most annoving
episodes in his eventful life.—
