An Ehlpliant "Bait."
-A correspondent of the Bombay Gazette,
writing from Barfida, describes _an ele
-iPhant-"bait,” held in the. presence Of the
IGuico -war. ; Ie says: The courtyard in
which these exhibitions take place is an
immense piece of ground, surrounded: by
atone walls, which. are 14 , feet above the
.ground. AbCout every seven or eight yards
round these walls are archways;which. lead
through into an open space outside, and
theSe, holea serve as " eaospes" fbr the
hunter men when the elephant 'approaches
too closely. Two gates at either end-of the
"courtyard are guarded. by Very_ thick
wooden bars, and in the centre of 'the yard
are one or- two circular parapets and
buildings, which also afford a refuge for the
en-who are pursued. About 60 or 70 men
were downin the courtyard, armed with
'spears, whips and fireworks. each. man
holding a piece.of colored cloth' endeavored
to irritate the elephant that was loose in the
:midst of them, and their endeavors were
-considered successful and were rewarded
lithe irate monster rushed after them. The
nearer they are approached the louder the
applause 'and the more fearful the excite
ment, and as the poor tiny-looking mortal
rushes away, for his life, and just as it is
.expected the elephant can Seize him, turns
into one of the sheltering archways, whilst
the monster rushee with fall force against
the wall, showering the bricks and mortar
4tll . around, the consternation reaches a
"slimes; the ;scenes of this description are
.zrepeated over and over agein, and each one
tries to be nearer death than the other.
' lithe elephant approaches:too quickly, or
any danger, is really apparent, a large tire
; work is exploded in his face, which generally
stops him,and by the,assistance of the
,
.moke the man usually gets away. On this
occasion under notice two or -three very
'narrow escapes; took place. One time the
elephant was very close to one of the spear
=ten, and:a firework was lighted, and pre
zented at the furious beast. No halt took
place, but the elephant turning on the man
who °held the rOcket, rushed through the
smoke : and came close upon him. Shrieks
now rent the air all round, and for some
Moments the man was counted as killed;
but with great presence of mind he threw
-the firework, phizzing and blazing away,
into the beast's face, and ran for his life.
The second or two that 'the brute took to
collect hiniseLf_were sufficient to give the
poor fellow a start, and he just got into
shelter in time to feel the trunk of the
clephant on his shoulder. The other escape
was equally narrow, and occurred through
young man running too far ; the monster
was gaining on him at every stride. By the
most severe exertion the man reached the
zate and rolled himself under the wooden
bar. The prettiest portion of the exhibition
- was, however, withrpit doubt, a horse who
was brought in, andAvho from a thorough
training, and evidently a knowledge of its
own> powers, approached thd elephant very
-closely.
!%The horse was ridden by a very clever
rider, who with great skill managed' to
evade every charge of the infuriated crea
ture., The quickness with which the horse
-could double or turn a .corner gave it a
marked ' advantage over the unwieldy
elephant. Wien his *Highness has been
pleasd suffic ently, the Oocess of catching
the mad elephant is commenced, and this,
more frequently than not, is more exciting
than even the- "bait" itself. Men approach
'_behind very cautiously with large iron
clamps, and try to place one of these wea
pons, armed with spikes, round the hihd leg
•sof the elephant. Cunning by nature, the
beast often allows theme to approach and
then suddenly charges; or he may seize the
instrument just at the moment, and fling it
into the air with a satisfactory roar. Ulti
mately, however; every one has to succumb,
-ariditonce the clamp is put on, they are
powerless to run.. Thick ropes now fasten
him safely, - five by men

SCRIPT'
BETTERS,
a good story of an old woman who, haying
adopted a little girl from the work- •
house, and brought her up till she was mid
way in her teens, was then forsaken by her
charge, whom a neighboring farm house
-enticed away to "better herself." On being
condoled with On this ungrateful abandon
ment,by sympathizing, friends, the poor old
woman meekly answered that • Scripture
warned us that such thin must happen.
"You know it is said ere, "Train up a
child, and away he do o."' There are ae
eomplished men rs whose quotations
of Scripture, or indirect reference to it,
though hardly so ludicrous, is not much
more accurate than that of- Bishop Blom
field's ancient dame. One scarcely knomi
what to make of Horace Walpole's confu
sion of Cain with Samson, in one of his let
ters to a clerical friend too, panegyrizing a
a certain noble but childless couple, and
their Eden like existence at Numeham : "I
•do not know the Paradise on earth I prefer
to it, with its Adam-and Eve; who may
comfort themselves with having no chil
dren,'when they recollect that the first-born
committed murder with the jawbone of an
ass, a deadly weapon I am sure." The
italics, whatever they may be worth, are
Walpole's own.
."What says Timothy ?" is Mr. Fon
blanque's query in introducing the words
-of St. Paul, "Having food and raiment, let
us be therewith content." William Hazlitt
ascribes to "the Samaritan"—whoever that
may be—the publican's prayer; which he
- thus verbally misquotes, "Lord, be merci-
All to me, a sinner." Leigh Hunt tells of
Shelley that he was a student of the Book of
Job, and that for his Christianity he went
to "the Gospel of St. James." It must have
been purely a slip of the pen with Mr.
Thackeray tc., write of Amelia Osborne and
her bov, that the fond mother had "made
some little shirts for - him," when he left
home to stay with his rich grandfather;
"but when her Eli came to see the widow,
they were replaced by much finer linen."
That the author of "Vanity Fair" did not
really confound Eli with Samuel is ob
vious from his distinct mention of the child
Samuel again in connection with Hannah,
- in an earlier chapter of that fiction. That
-versatile and vivacious critic, M. Philarae
IChasles, whose reputation for scholarship is
Ma inconsiderable, permits himself, in one
-of his autobiographical souvenirs of life in
England, to make a Northumbrian "puri
tan," who yearned to convert him, refer to
Torah, Dathan, and Abirarn as the favored
three upon whom the fiery furnace had ne
Power. •
M. de Sainte Beuve, again, whom a Sa
turday Reviewer the other day pronounced
the first of living critics, speaks of Cowper's
attention being fixed by a vers‘'',in Saint
Paul's "Third = Epistle to the Roinans."
'This has . its -parallel, however, as a blunder
,of Mr. Charles Dickens. Dr. Blimber, the
schoolmaster at Brighton; to whose tender
mercies little Paul Domtley is consigned,
having occasion to set an impositipn, does
so in these terms: "Johnson will repeat to
me to-morrow morning,' before breakfast,
without bdok, and from'the Greek , Testa
ment, the First Epistlq of St. Paul to the
Ephesians." Rather hard upon Johnson.
But it would have been a deal harder had
Doctor Blimber imposed upon him the
second epistle; for where in the world could
Johnson have got a copy? Mr. Dickens
subsequently s inserted an erratum about
, this. • Trt an earlier fiction by the same
author, we meet with the following curious
passage: "The only Scriptural' admonition
that _Ralph Nickleby heeded,, in the letter,
Was 4 Know l ,thyself.' "—Churchman.
