Shop iris (et them honestly call themselves by that Tespectable name, not adopt the muserable vul- arity of “sales lady") have risen to be the wives of governors and S*nators; Indeed, they have helped gheir husbands to become governors and Senators, and It is said that the wife of one of our Presidents was a seamstress, who taught her hus- band to read and write. Whether this isa little exaggerated or not we do not pretend to say; we ali Ksow that the lowllest station may be, and often Is, exchanged for the highest in our land, and ‘that the American people are all workers, except- ing here and there a luxurious woman.

Byron valued a kiss by its strength, and measured its strength by tts length, but the mensuration of kisses went out of fashion long ago. A kisstsa duet of lps, in Which @ most holy love may be offered and ac- cepted. To a young man in the springtime of life @ kiss is the delirium of love. According to ‘Niphus a kiss is at once the token of boldness, confidence, and affection. A kiss 1s the rapture of something that 1s at once a feast and an insatia- bie famine. ‘Sydney Smith found much virtue to a well-de- lvered kiss, and the earl of Chesterfeld looked the World over for quick, ind elastic.

BY WM. T. HORNADAY, AUTHOR oF Two YEARS IN THE JUNGLE. [Copyright, 1888.) Taking them by aud large, as the saying is, the low-caste natives of Southern India are a timid set. Although I never saw it tried, I believe that one passionat», beef-eating Anglo-Saxon, with a hickory club, could cnase @ thousand of them, and two expert clubbers could put ten thousand to Might. It 1s not muscle that they are “short” on ‘so much as pluck. If they only had the nerve to carry out one-quarter of the deviltry that they think of, England would straightway have an oriental Ireland upon her hands. a A low-caste native is never expected to launch out tnto any forbidden enterprise which requires Rerve, and when one does develop a spirit of rank lawlessness it 1s apt to take the sahibs by sur- prise, I knew of one instance of this kind, which, for, unmitigated gall, went clear beyond ail the other native undertakings that ever came under my notice, What is more, thescheme was worked by a mere boy, and he made it up all out of bis own head, like Walt Whitman does nis poetry. It makes me sigh even now to think what a prince of street Arabs that boy would have made if he had only been born in this Christian land and educated in the classic shades of Swat 5 years was living in the elephant cam; at te Sungam timber depot, tn the heart of the great Anitnallal forest, Southern India, At that Ume that elephant camp was to me the greatest show on earth. ‘There were ten or twelve of the big brutes, each with a half-naked driver to sit astride hia neck, and all day long te monsters tolled 1n the forest, dragging gre 7 hewed teak-wood out to the timber depue'and’ there ins ing them tn regular courses. The 8 ele phant camp was merely a little open spot in the Beart of a Old forest of teak, biackwood and bainboo, . the center of pulsations of human affairs In tuose mountains. Every morning the elephants assembied for breakfast, and it was always of great interest to Watch the gigantic laborers when they were served with big balls of boiled rice, six a plece, the size of 8 ten-pin bail, with a bit of cocoanut by wayot dessert. But this Was only a part of their rations. Green forage was plentiful in the “jungle, so instead of laboriously cutting and bringing it im, each ma- hout simply hobbled his elepuan: at the close of the day's Work and turned him loose to “rustle”, for himself until morning. Often during the nights when the fever kept me awake I bave lain on my cot and listened to the elephants puiling down the bamboo shoots with a great crash, crushing the stems under their huge feet and then champing away at the pieces. And it was this custom Of turning the elephants loose that once made trouble to the camp. Among the mahouts was a mere stripling about sixteen ‘years old, brown as old mahogs rany, and also as beardiess, head cleaned shaved, except a fine sealplock, no clothes but a cloth around bis Jotns, ana no’ biceps ever. His name was Corlee, and the old elephant dottor agid he was a likely He was the driverof a fine ad ele, a pDamed Siva, who was a famous worker, and uighly valued on more accounts than one.
