Among other things he picked up a horse tied to a post, wrenched him loose and flung him full thirty feet through tho "How did It end?" was itsked, an tho man paused to relight his cigar. "Well, he worked his 'mad'" off and camo back to tho tent of his own accord, and for tho next two months he was tho best-natured elephant in the business. He broko about four inches otf his right tusk iu tho runrpus.

There wero seventeen or eighteen men killed and about forty more or loss hurt. Wo expected a blooming old row with tho city officials, but were agreeably disappointed. Tboy got the idea thut the elephant had gained his liberty by accident, and you can bo sure we didn't give ourselves awfty. Then our uanvas man was killed and it couldn't bo shown that wo had sought revenge. We had siitiply gathered to defend oursolves, as wo had a legal right to do.

It took our or five clays to get through witfe it, but wo came out on top at tho end, and for tho next six Ajax was the greatest drawing card In South America. After we got out of Lima wo used to hang a placard ou his sides which read: 'This elephant killed ono hundred men at Lima and tore down twenty-two and you couldn't hire a native to go within ten feet of him. Poor old he returned with us in safety to fall through a bridge in Virginia and moot his death on the rocks below. It was, perhaps, as well that ho did so, however, as ho had been sulking" for several days and had made a break for the wagons ahead of him.

SSsTJust roci'ivoil, tt lurifo sioc'i (Y full mid winter fk'thin tit 1 Ol)0ni'ij. -A en irtFENCING tin Sentlflo American 1 mr 1 "Threo or four times in my co-Peer OS circus man I saw one or more elephants get loose and raise Cain, hut I never saw oue turned loose but once, and then. It was to suvo tbcrshow, and ho did it." Thus nald Mlchigo-nder wht was waiting for his tralu at the Third street dppot tho other day, Of course he was asked for the details, and he continued: "It was a good many years ago, when De Ilavcu had the 'greatest ou His was the first American circus to make a South American trip, and ho made barrels of money. He put the price of admission at about fifty cents in our money, and we took dye-wood, furs, pelts, hides, blankets and lots of other things in place of money. 1 was at tbe door onco when I took In four good torses, and agam when I took in ten fat cattle.

People would come forty or fifty miles to see the show, and If they had no money we stood ready to accept most anything else. Tho monagelie tickled them most to' death, and tho circus performance just raised the" roof. Out- performers wore looked up to as something fiaforo than mortal, and the girl who rode bareback and jumped through hoops could have had her pick of millionaires for a husband, i "We had four elephants, oive of them a very big fellow who now and then had ugly aud dangerous moods. He didn't take to the people at all, and on thoir part they evinced the greatest fear of the I don't suppose one person in a thousand had ever seen ono before, "When we got to Lima, in old A jax, as we called him, had a fit of tho sulks. I was superintendent of tho monagerie and when we cWao to make ready for our street parado it was reported to me that Aju refused to go out.

I found him standing very quiet, which you may set down ais a dangerous sign in any clephamt. His trunk hung almost motionless, his eyes were half closed, aud now and then his tail switched in a vicious way. There were plenty of signs that ho was and I gave orders that he should remain behind. He was chained by a fore and a hind leg to stakes driven in the ground, and his driver remained with him, keeping his weather eye wide open. 'I expect that A jax was further stirred up by being left out of tho parade, for he was a proud old! ehap, and wanted to head the procession on all occasions.

When we returned he showed his temper by knocking over a horse, which came within reach of his trunk, and for a quarter of an hour he kept trumpeting and straining at his bonds. We1 let him alono and by, and by ho quieted down. "We got in from the parade about noon. Everybody had had' dinner and we wero getting ready for the two o'clock performance, when one of the canvas-men got into a row with a native on the outside. Wo never could find out just how It started, but the native drov-o a knife into our man, and was promptly shot by another canvas-man, and then the row began.

Our men wero driven into tho tent, and though the police came up and tried to quiet things they grew worse. A mob began to gather from every direction, and in less than half an hour fully live hundred natives, most! of whom were a tough lot and ready for a shindy, formed for a rush. Every man of them Was armed, and tho intention to annihilate the whole outfit was freely expressed. This mob had formed to the cast of lis hi a wide street. We could gather only about fifty nen to oppose it," and things were looking blue when old Ajnx began1 to1 trumpet again.

Tho excitement hadi worked him into state of fury. 1 It suddenly occurred to mo that, the elcpliant might save us, and without consulting anybody I ran over and slipped oil his chains', and yelled to the men to raiso tho flaps at the door and stand clear. "If tho elephant hadn't been so cat-cited ho would have beon the death-of me as' worked at the chains, but us it Was ho gave mo iw fatten tionv. Whott- I cast him loose ho madtv straight for the opening and tlite He was mad all over aiMSi more dangerous than three locomo tives. Screaming with rage and flinging; his trunk about ho dashed into the crowd, and what happened will novor be forgotten in thatt old town.

Tho crowd was panic-strlcltcn at the sight of the monster, buitl tlie people wero wedged in aud could not movo quickly. Ajax used liis trunk as a soldier would a club or musket, and ho mowed tho fellows down by the dozen. He just swung right and left, and cleared a way through and then came back. Now and them he picked up a man and flung him! over tho heads of tho crowd, and again he smashed one flat by a blow on the head. It was seven I or eight minutes beforo tho last man got out of his way, and then he turned Ms attention to other things.

I will mention one or two -instances that wero vouched lor and have co mo under tho observation of either my friends or myself," says Minna Irving, in her article in tho November New Peterson. "Some years ago, in my native tho belle of tho place was wooed and won against her mother's wishes by a wild yowtfc who spout his days in idleness ami his nights at tho tavern. Beforo iha honeymoon Waned, tho young wife's eyes wore ofton rod with weeping and her delicate flesh boro braises from a heavy hand. In, her las-t illness, she turned with loathing from her brutal mastor, shrank at bis touch, and shuddcrod pitcously the sound of his voico. Robed in her whito wcddiing-dross, she was tarrne to the churchyard across tho way, the cozy cottage in which sh passed the six short months flier married lifo was closed, and tho youthful, widower returned to his carousals at tho Halfway House beforo tho funeral wreaths 8ial withered on her breast.

Tho road! from tho tavern to his father's Rouse led by the churchyard; and nightly, as ho rode homo reeling from hh rcvols, his young bride, in her gravo-stained wedding-dress, glided from tho ohurchyardgatoand flitted before him to tho deserted cottage, in tho dark doorway pf which she disappeared. He was a dare-devil follow, not "a bit superstitious, nor'did his brutal treatment of tho fragile creaturo who had trusted horsoU'to his care trouble his callous conscionco in tho. least; but he bo-carno afraid to venuro out aHor dark, and finally left the village." i For Sale.
