Tlio private papers of Charles John Anderson,- the English hunter who lost his life in the wilds of Africd, have recently been published, and are full of thrilling interest. His experience in elephant-hunting was very extensive, and Ids observations convinced him that this animal, sagacious as he is, is very far from being the harmless ci'eature which most people suppose him to be, even when hunted in a wild state. In one of his papers An derson says: “ That in countries wliere he is left altogether undisturbed, he is peacefully inclined, not only towards the brute creation, but to mankind I can readily believe; but in those where he is subject to molestation, lie can hardly be said to retain his innoouousness, as instances innumerable are on record, both in Africa and else where, of his attacking travelers and others wlio have not offended him in any way. But whether or not the eleghant is the harmless creature he is represented by many, certain it is to the sports man he is the most forundable of all the beasts, the lion not ex cepted, that roam the African wilds. The life of the professed elephant-hunter is one of great peril and privation, and there are few who engage in it that do not, sooner or later, ‘ go to the wall.’ “ I was surprised to hear D- say so,” writes Mr. Hose, “ that it was his wish to leave his pi-esent life, and to settle down quietly on his farm. ‘ Indeed,’ I said, ‘ 1 should have thought that this wild pursuit, and your former dangerous trade (that of a smug gler), would render a quiet life somewhat sleepy.’ ‘ I have a wife now, and shall liave cliildren,’ he replied, ‘ and have been driven to this by debt and necessity. I have nearly got over my difficul ties, for, in twenty months, I and my Hottentots have killed eiglit hundred elephants; four hundred of them have fallen by this good gun, and when I am free I quit it. Scores of times have tlie elephants charged round me, even within a yard of tlie bush under which I had crept; and I feel that it was a chance that I was not crushed. Once I had fired at a lar^e troop in a deep ravine, one side of which was formed by a steep cliff, which echoed ba’ck tlie sound of the firing, .and a hundred elephants with up-raised ears, and loud screams, and tossing trunks, rushed down the narrow pass, and cha,rged the echo, being the opposite side to tliat where we stood when AVe fired, and the one to whicli we had now moved; myself and Hottentots lying in the bush rvhilst they rushed past us. The boldest hunter is killed at last. When pursued by a rhinoceros I have sprung down a high bank, not knowing its depth, or whether I might not fall on a rock or stump. ,No, sir ; it is a life of no common hardship and danger. I have been obliged to eat the veldtschoon (imtanaed leather shoes) from my feet.’ “ The daring of some of some of these elephant-hunters almost exceeds credence. One of the most remarkable instances on record is that given by Thomp son, on the authoiity of a relative of the hero of the story, a man named Marie, a famous Fimrod, who, in his day, had slain up wards of fort^' of these animals. At a convivial meeting of friends and neighbors to celebrate New Year's Day, wlien tlie company were heated with liquor, and each one had boastiiigly related deeds of hardihood he himself had per formed, Marie laid a wager tliat he would go into the forest and pluck three hairs from out of the tail of a living elephant! This extraordinary feat he actually performed, and returned safely with the trophy to Ids comrades. But not satisfied with this spei- men of his audacitA^, ho laid an other bet that he / would return and shoot the same animal on the instant. He Avent accordingly Avith his mighty ‘Roer,’ but never came back again. He had ap proached too incautiously, oITu ins first shot not proving effective, the enraged creature rushed up on him before he could reload or make his escape, and having thiustits tremendous tusk through the poor fellow’s body, trampled him to a cake.”—Selected. —If j'ou have religion you need not tell people about it; they will find it out after trading with vou for a little Avhile. “I never saAV such a restless child,” exclaimed the mother as she tried to fit the boj’ Avith a neAv jacket. The little fellow greAv quiet and thoughtful for a mo ment,and then suddenly exclaim ed; “I know AA'hy I’m so, ma—the day God made me guess the dust was a-flving awful.”—-Inter Ocean.
