A corresiKindent of the New York News gives thid account of a fright in an hnsrlisti villaire causjed by au enraged elephant escaped from a menagerie. A youDg man trom India recognized the brute as one lie had belrienued wnen in that country, at the time while crossing a broken bridge, and he takes advantage of tbe elephant s gratitude. A light carriage, containing only a lady, came dashing over the hill behind the school-house, while in close pursuit, with temble trumpeting, rushed a gi gantic elephant. The horse cleared him self from the carriage, and as he did so the lady was thrown insensible upon the grass by the roadside. The school-house door was open, aud the affrighted steed sprang through it. Terror-stricken laces thronged the win dows ; but the elephant was without, and there was no retreat. AVe could hear the wild snorting of the horse, mingled with the screams of the children, as the elephant, trumpeting forth his rag, with trunk aloft, ran fiercely around the building. ' We must gain the clump of maples in rear of the house," said Victor," " and try to divert his attention, or he will tear the building to splinters." Accordingly we ran to the spot desig nated, and commenced shouting, the gnarled old trees, close together, being our fortress. Just as we reached the wood, the horse, snorting and rearing, thrust his head through a window with a prodigious crashing of sash and glass, and out he came. Then the elephant, ignorant of his enemy's escape, came tearing around between ourselves and the building. Perhaps he suspected what had happened, or it may have been our voices that made biin turn and look around. The moment we had a view of his ferocious countenance, his small eyes and huge, flapping ears, Victor sprang from over. " Tis Mizra fciahib I"- he cried. " Mizra Sahib ! Mizra Sahib ! come to me ! Oh, vou rascal ! What are you doing here, Mizra Sahib?" Victor did not venture far from the trees, yet his words had the effect. He followed up his advantages with some sentences in llindostanee. The elephant took a step toward him, then struck off obliquely, as if to walk around us. Then Victor stepped boldly forth and ap proached him. "Mizra Sahib, you are an old fooL Come to tae." The great brut came shuffling toward him. " You have not forgotten the broken bridge, Mizra Sahib? For the sake of old friendship give me your hand. We have together made our camp by the Brahmaputra." The monster extended his trunk and laid it upon Victor's shoulder. The meeting was really affecting. Victor soon delivered the noble creature to the custody of his master, who had hurried to tha scene.

TEN YEARS AFTER MARRIAGE. Ten years since the wedding day. Mrs. Howland was alone. She bad left her husband in the little room where they usually eat together through the evening, while she put the children to bed. Mrs. Howland did not feel inclined to return to the family sitting room, where she had left her hushand, but remained within the chamber with her sleeping little ones, in a musing, brooding, un happy state of mind. Something ot cold ness and alienation had been growing up between her and her husband for a long time past . The old tendernefs of manner which had leen so sweet was all gone. He was kind, thoughtful in regard to her comfort, honorable and true, but getting more formal and less affectionate in man ner every day. His wife, who had loved him very tenderly, and still loved him, had failed to give her life adequate re sponses to bis; had, in the fret and fever of disciplinary existent, suffered herself to work amid disturbing elements in stead of taking her pl-ice serenely by his side. And so, harmonious things b:id been permitted to jar, where all might have been peace. It was pressing upon the mind of Mrs. Howland that her husband had ceased to love ber, and this conviction was taking all the sweetnes out of her life. It did not once occur to her that she was herself growing unlovely, that she had laid aside nearly all the external things by which, when a maiden, she bad sought to win him; the sunny countenance, the ajluring voice and manner, the scrupulous attire, the deference to his taste and opinions, the guard upon her temper, the womanly elevation ot character that made her seem as one who ruled in the kingdom jf her own soul. This was tbe being he had loved, this was tbe woman he had taken to walk with him through life. Alas, for the fading idea! He had found, instead, one who made scarcely an effort at self government, whose feelings and impulses wete not springs of actions. Deeply, pas sionately she loved him, but not wisely; self-abnegating love pleases both itstlf and the object of its devotion. Without some change on the part of M rs. 1 lowland it was impossible for them to grow to gether azain. For nearly half an hour after her chil dren were asleep, the mother sat in her wretched mood, apart from her husband, and feeling no inclination to join him. j " All love has died," said she, " I am nothing now." And as she said this her heart shivered with an instinctive reali-, zation of what her words involved. Then fear for the loss of a thing so precious as a husband's love seized upon her soul and inspired a new purpose. A love worth winning was surely worth an effort to retain. And was Dot the way to win, the way to keep ? A new light broke into Mrs. Howland's mind. She began to see thiLgs iu herself tht were verv far from being in harmony with her life'when a maiden things th"t would have certainly repelled a lover, and wore they bonds lor a husband? These thoughts startled the awaken ing wife. Then old memories were re vived, bringing back old states, pictures warm with the hues ot love came out ot tbe dim past. " Is the cup broken and the wine spill ed V she asked of herself. "God forbid!" came from her lipsiu dueutterance. Then l e left the chamber where her childten slpt, and with silent feet went towads tlie apartment in which she had left her h tsban i alone. On the way she pituoHl, uNkhI arill for a moment, then returned. The gas was burning lew. She threw up the light and caught a reflection of herself in the toilet glass. , One glance sufficed. That was not the style in which she appeared before her lover. Taking down her hair, she applied comb and brush rapidly for some moments, and then arranged the glossy masses with taste and skill. Next the soiled and tumbled wrapper was removed, and her person attired in a neatly fitting dress, around the neck of which was laid a snowy linen collar fastened by a small coral pin, her husband s gift of other days. Already her cheeks were filled with a glow ana ner eves niied with light. Une long glance at herself in the mirror revealed a wonderful transformation. How the old memories were crowding in upon her! How soft her heart was growing ! How full of tenderness was every thought of her husband ! Her lips wfe athirst for kisKts . t And now Mrs. llowlaini ItftLcr cham ber again. Her slippered feet gave no sound as the .v1 moved over Cue carpet, and she came to the "pen door of the sitting room without bet raying a sign other ap proach, there s.ne stood still. 3Ir. How land was not at th? table readinir. a" she had left him. but at his t-erretary" which was ojitn. He was reclining his head on one hand and gaztujr down uion something held in the other, and seemed wholly absorlxd. I' or more than a ni'u ute he remained in this lixed attitude, his wife was as still as himself. Theu a lorcr siarh trembled on the air. and then lifting the object toward which his gaze was directed Mr. Howland pressed it to liii Hps, kissing it almost passionately, three or four times. A viild throb lean ed along Mrs, Howland's veins. Then her heart grew still as if in the presence ot some unknown but stupendous evil Something impelled her to spring for ward aud read tins mystery, and some' thine as stronsrlv held her back. As she stood, pale now, and in a tremor, the fcb- ject was kissed again, and then returned to the drawer in the secretary from which it had been taken. In this act for an instant, the miuiture of a lady met the gaze of Mrs. Howland. Locking the drawer her husband put the key in nis pocket, anu men resting both arms on the leaf of the secretary, buried his face in them and sat motionless. Turning awav as noiselessly as she had approached, Mrs. Howland fled back to her chamber in wild flight, and sat down panting in bewilderment. As soon as thought began to move in a determined way, the lirst result was a flood of lndig. nation, a burning sense of wrong, aud it was only by an effort that the outraged wife could hold herselt back from con fronting her husband and demanding to see the miniature. A calmer, bun not less painful state succeeded, in which conscience whispered of indiflcrence and neglect. Had she turned habitually her most or her least attractive side to her husband? Had she ktpt herself lovely in his eyes lovely in temper and lovely in person: iicr heart sank: it grew darker and darker around her: life seemed crushed out. " Who is it ?" This question marked a chance in the current of Mrs. How land's thoughts. Kapidly she passed in review one lady friend alter another, but without an incident to hx suspicion, The times and seasons in which her hus band had been absent trom home were dwelt upon. Once a week rfgulf.rly he weut out in the evening, occasionally twice. The regular absence was for the purpose of attending a literary society at least so he had informed his wife. Now, for the first time, doubt of his truth crept in, and this doubt was the sweepms away of all the sure founda tion on which her soul had rested. For a time Mr. Howland remained sit- tine at his secretary with his face buried in his hands. At length, risine with slow weary motion, an if of one exhausted by bodily or mental exertion, he drew out his watch. "Half-past nine!" was ejaculated in surprise. And then he looked through the door over towards the chamber whither his wife bad gone with the children, and stood listening for some sound. All was silent. I'or a short time be moved in an uneasy, irresolute way about the room, and sitting down, tried to hnd interest in the pages of a book Hut in a little while the volume closed in his hand. Thought was too busy in another direction to dwell even with a favorite author. " Ten o'clock !" The bell was ringing its clear notes trom a neighboring steeple Mr. Howland started up.and turning out the light, went over to the sleeping-room. His wife was in beJ. He spoke to her, but she did not answer. " Are you asleep?" No motion nor re sponse of any kind. She lay with her fare nearly hidden under the bed clothes. He looked at her in a strange earnest manner for some moments, and then, maviDg about noiseles8ly,prepared for rest. The day had been one of much activity, and Mr. i Howland was weary enough for sleep. Soon after his head touched the pillow he was in the land of dreams. His deep breathing had scarcely given evidence of the fact ere a light movement on the part of Mrs. Howland showed her to be awake. Presently she drew the clothes from her face, and raised herself cautiously. The heavy breathing of her husbaud was not disturbed. She sat up in bed ; he still slept on ; she glided from beneath tbe covering, and groping in the darkness, found her husband's vest, from which she took a key. "Mother!" The slight noise made opening the chamber door had disturbed one of the children. Mrs. Howland stood still holding her breath. Tlie call was not repeated, and she went out, gropiDg her way along the passage with a hand on the wall. Entering the room she sought, she closed the door behind her and drew the belt, fastening hersell in. After lighting the gas she went to her husband's secretary, and with the key in her possession unlocked one of the private drawers. Her hand shook as the key rattled on the scutcheon before a way was found into the wards. The first object that met her view as the crawer came open was a morocco minia ture case, which she seized upon with a clutch as eager as that of a bird of prey and bearing it to the gas-light, unloosed her clasp and exposed the fpee of her rival. It wa a young and lovely face, and the eyes looked up into hers with a ten der aud sweet expression. Away from the pure forehead the hair ot golden au burn fell smooth back, and lay in curls about her neck, that was whiter and purer than alabaster. The lips were full, soft, and arched as if for a flight of arrows. Ive's witchery was in tbe picture countenance. Still, very still, did the wife sit and gaze down upon her rivals face that face on which, scarcely an hour before, she had seen her husband's kisses laid. Still, very still, she sat, the tears creep ing out of her eyes, falling slowly over her cheeks and dropping upon the mini ature. Wits she jealous of that rival ? No! Her heatt was too glad for jeal ousy, too full of jov.too wild with a new born LappincsH. The bride of ten years ago was the rival of to day, and the heart of her husband was true t his marriage vows! It was no fault of his that he could not love what had b -come unlovely. Not unlovely in the poorer siuification of that word, as indicating changes wrought by the wearing hind of time, but unlovely through indulgence and impatience, and frettulness, an I in the neglect ot self-discipline unlovely, also, from carelessness ot attire and per sonal neatness. With tfie image of herself as she wa ten years before, and with the in ige of her husband fondly, paisiouately kissing that image, dwelling in her imagi ittion, Mrs. Howland went back to her lied. She had suddenly awakened from a x VOL. XXII. NO. 4(5. dream, and the language of her heart was " l-ank uod, I am awake! As they sat at breakfast on the next morning, Mrs. Howland noticed a change in the expression of her husband's face as he looked at her across the table, let ting his eyes dwell upon her with un usual interest. It was an almost admiring expression, bhe was m no doubt as to the cause, for she had attired herself with scrupulous care in a clean, bright morning wrapper, and wore a cap fas tened at oue side with a rubber hairpin and ornamented with two or three small pink bows and a sprig of flowers. A plain linen collar pinned with a cameo was around her neck. And, better than all, she had banished every sign of d; contentand fretfulness from her face. " How sweet mother looks this morn ing!" said Mr. Howland, glancing at one ef the children who sat near her, and smiling one of his old, bright smiles'. Don't she '" answered the little one lifting her rosy mouth to mamma for a kiss. " Me kiss too, mamma so beautiful !" and little Allie scrambled down from her chair in newborn admiration of her mother, and put up her mouth also. And me too," exclaimed Mr. How land passing around the table and laying his lips softly and lingeringly uoon the lips of his wife. He saw, as he looked across the table, resuming his seat, that her eyes were dim with tears. He knew they were tears of pleasure; but he d d not imagine how deeply her heart was stirred not how full of precious memo ries and golden ho)es the moment was crowned. Ten .years after marriage.

When the great actress was middle aged and ugly, so the writer says, she was plaving an engagement at the old National thea ter in Cincinnati. Conrad II. Clarke, much Miss Cushman's junior, and a very handsome and promising actor, was then leading man of the ' company. -Miss (,'ushman at once took a fancy to the young actor, who, in time, became her most obsequious follower, and Miss lx- gan believes that Miss Cushman's liking for Clarke wan much more than mere admiration. The story continues : Mat ters had stood thus for some months. Oue evening Miss Cushman was going to the theater alone, when a weak, haggard looking woman approached her, with a baby in her arms. She was a small, red haired, fragile looking creature. Laying ber hand on Miss Cushman's shoulder, she said : Miss Cushman, I think a woman of your genius and position might have plenty of admirers without taking up with the husband of a poor woman like me." The trnietli nnc paused in blank amazement. " Are you talking of me V she asked. " I am." " And you say I have taken your husband from you 7 " les, you, Lharlotie i ush man." . "I don't know vou. Mav I ask the name of this precious husband of yours. uonrad oiarke, was the reply, " What ! " exclaimed Miss Cush man, aghast; "l aidn t know he was married." "Yes, this is his baby." ' Good Heaven, woman, you surprise me. l ask you to believe that I knew nothing of your existence until this moment ; and now let me go, as I am lute. But relieve vour mind, Mrs. Clarke, as iar as I am concerned. AVhen this en gagement is over ' Jhe never acts with me again.'" So saying the great actrecs hurried awav. All smiles, Ikiws and honeyed words, Clarke greeted her that night. She gave a deathblow to all his hopes not as tenderly as many a woman so situated might have done, but with characteristic decision. " Clarke, " said she loudly, in the presence of everybody, "if you ever dare to open your mouth to me again, I will jump straight down your throat; T will, by (iod. " So unex pected was this shot that Clarke fairly reeled under it. On learning from his wife what Bhe had done, he liecame furi ous at what be declared was a malicious scheme to ruin him ; and. leaving her, he swore never to five witu ner again. Anuie Clarke easily obtained a divorce from him, and shortly after married an actor named Forrest, of" Cleveland, with whom she lived wretchedly, and in a year or two died miserably, her whole career having been sad and unhappy from first to lant. Nor wss Clarke's fate any better. He gave himseif wholly to drink, sank lower and lower, aud finally he jasnshed an outcast and a beggar, and was laid in a urunicaru s grave, m a strange series of circumstances Clarke's child was adopted and most tenderly reared by one of our brightest wits the only one of his teculiarly caustic kind left, a man who wields a powerful weapon with his pen, who has two parties, lor and against him, one which hates and fears him, the other which loves and praises him Don Piatt. Some one who passed that night with Charlotte Cush man told me that on arriving at home after the jierformance she sank down on the floor, and crouched there in her clothes, in abject despair, until day break. She had been touched in her affections. At middle age a woman often loves more fervently more with her mind than her heart than in her green and gala days. She had also been deeply wounded in her pride. She had deigned to smile upon an obscure actor, had tried to raise him to an equal position with herself, and he had deceived her as to his status, had neglected a wife for her sake. Never after, when his name was mentioned, would she say more than he is a clever actor a very clever actor. Uintmnati lunquirtr.

Bine Times In California. Seventy-seven is destined to be a blue year in the annals of California. There can be no question- that its wheat c rop will lie seriously deficient. The estimate, in brief, is one-juarter of a crj in southern California, half a crop in middle California, and a full average crop in northern California. Taking the state as a whole, the deficiency is put down at half the usual crop, which is, usually, 20,000,000 bushels. So here is a void of 10,000,000 bushels in the resources of 1877. At 1 per bushel, which is the average price in the country, the debt paying power of 1,000,000 people is re duced ,10,000,000. But this is not the only misfortune of the year; the barley crop, which is really the oat crop of Cal ifornia, is blasted; and on the 18th of April the farmers were cutting it, in the Sacramento valley, to be fed in tbe sheaf to horses. The cause of this crop de ficiency was the scantiness of the winter rains. Ordinarily the rain-tall is thirty four inches; this year it was only four teen inches. In addition to the crop d.fiteit, the mining resources, or rather results, art unextK-ctedly and suddenly falling off. The Bonanza mines of Nevada, known as the California and Virginia consolidated, are producing so lightly that the latter has ceased to make dividends. This, of ccutse, creates a feverish excitement on the Stock Exchange, and the shares havo declined 70 per "cent, during the past year. California has declined in nearly the same proportion. So large a decline in these leading corporations baa shaken the whole list of twenty or more quotable companies. The losses are absolutely ap palling, and fall severely on thousands of all classes as, some time or another, al mort every one takes a venture in tha mining shares. I estimate that the loose by this decline during the past eighteen months cannot ts less than $100,000,000.
