What the Young Braves got by Mid dling with the Father of the Animals. From the Kansas City Bulletin. The beautiful Indian village of Potta watomie, situated on the Neosho river, in the State of Kansas, was the theatre of an intensely exciting but wholly unavoid able occurrence on the night of Sunday, May 21. The mammoth menagerie and circus of old John Robinson was the great centre of attraction. The attonishment ad curiosity was great whea the gigan tic proportions of old Emperor burst up on their view. Everything passed off quietly, and on Sunday evening, the weather and water being warm, Robinson determined to let old Emperor enjoy the luxury of a bath in the river. Accord ingly, between the hours of 5 and C p. m., Prof. Ruel, the keeper, was directed to bring him down to the stream. The In dians, to the number of twenty or thirty, were noticed watching the process of un fastening the chains which secured the elephant with the closest scrutiny, the object of which will shortly be seen. As soon as he was unfettered and be gan to move, it seemed as if the tocsin of war had sounded ; from every wigwam, hut, and cabin they swarmed. forth, young and old, as strange and fantatic-looking a crowd of humanity as was ever seen be fore ; and it was certainly as much of a show to the showmen as it was to the half-naked crowds of savages themselves. The wild and excited shouts of the child ren, the shrill and discordant cries of the squaws, the deep-toaed gutteral exclama tions of the warriors and braves, created a bedlam of sounds which never wa9 nor can be heard outside of au Indian village. Old Emperor made up his miad to en joy himself, and moved on with slow and majestic tread toward the stream, seeming to care for naught but the commands of his keeper. As he ncared the bank of the river, without waiting to receive the command he plunged boldly in and began disporting himself with the greatest de light, rolling and plauging from side to i slue, sucking up great quantities ot wa ter, and blowing it out through his huge preboscis in great columns, twenty or thirty feet high, allowing it to fall iu showers of spray upon and all around him. The sight of this to the Indians was truly marvelous. After remaining in the wa ter till dark he was conducted back to camp, and secured for the night, the crowd in the mean time following, and watching the entire proceedings closely. The Indians slowly disappeared and sought their wigwams for the night, and the showmen also sought to obtain rest. It is customary with all well-regulated menagerie and circus companies to em ploy a man as watchman, and to him is intrusted the business of awakening the company in the morniu, to be in readi ness for breakfast and an early start on the road, and to his care is also commit ted the entire establishment through the night. About midnight the watchman, wish ing to receive some information in regard to starting in the morning, stepped over to the hotel where Mr. Robinson was quartered, and while engaged in conversa tion with him cn awful, unearthly howl resounded through the halls of the hotel, followed by a series of cries, groans, and screeches such as no mortal ever heard before. In an instant the doors of the different rooms were hurriedly opened by the terrified inmates, windows thrust up, and frightened faces looked wildly out. The women aud children uttering pit eous wails of terror, crouched cowering down near the men with pale and fright ened countenances, crying, "What is it?" "Are we attacked by Indians ?" "Will they come here V "Oh, we shad all be murdered 1 The scene was enough to make the stoutest heart quake with fear. Mr. Robinson, quickly comprehending the matter, sprang from the room and or dered every man to come out, as ho was certain that some of the animals had brok en loose. Upon emerging from the house it was at first supposed that the entire village was on firo for it was nearly as light as day, caused by the vast number of torches that wore blazing through the encampment. The noise and din seeming to grow louder each instant, and being in the In dian portion of the town, they hurriedly made their way thither, aud upon sudden ly turning a corner they beheld a sight they will never forget. In the foreground was the huge form of old Enipcror, upon whose back were perched a half dozen warriors, ehoutingand gesticulating wild ly to their brethren below, while at inter vals of half a minute a horried yell would ring out upon the night air, followed by huge columns of 6moke and dust, and then could be heard the shrill trumpeting of the elephant as uttered when enraged or in pain. On every sido lay the ruins of tho once peaceful homes of tho Iu-i dians. As the showmen were prepariugto res cue Emperor, crash went his huge trunk, and an entire wigwam was seeu flying through the air, while from tho clouds oi dust aud heaps of rubbish could bo scon the , naked forms of some half dozen squaws and children rcgniuing conscious ness, and darting away through the woods with frightful yells of terror. The sc?ue was awful ; the demoniac yells of the sav ages, the iuf uriatei trumpeting of the elo phaut, were euortgh to strike terror and dismay to the stoutcifhearc. ihe company, headed by Mr. lloblu- son, rushing up immediately, scattered the Indians from off the elephant's back and led him away. He manifested his delightatfindinghimself once more among his friends by repeatedly caressing his keep er with his trunk. His body was found to be covered -with wounds, from which the blood was flowing in streams. Over 100 arrows were found sticking in his body. Their proceeding was to extract the arrows (each one as it was drawn from his flesh caused him to utter piteous moans of pain), and then staunch the flow of blood, which being done, he was eu abled with great difficulty to walk back to the camp. Amid the confusion it was impossible to ascertain how he became loosened from his. place cf confinement, but on examining the chain it was found to be unlocked, showing that it was through the agency of some mischievously inclined person, and upon a strict inquiry being made it was asscertained that a par ty of young braves, noticing how very gentle and harmless the elephant was, concluded to have a grand menagerie pro cession of their own j and while some were unlocking his chains, five or six leaped on his back and two more walked on each side steered him along, and thus the grand cavalcade started for the In dian quarter of the town, intending no doubt to create a big sensation amonjj their brethren, which they certainly did, though with a result far different from what they anticipated ; for upon reaching the first of a long row of wigwams ho dis covered to top of one which had been covered the day before with the long, sweet grass of the prarie, thrust out his trunk for a mouthful, when the rholc top gave way, aad out burst tbe frightened inmates with terrifi screani3, scaring tuo elephant at the same time. The Indians becoming alarmed for the safety of the rest of the wigwams, com menced goading him with ppears and knives, while at the same time a hundred torches were flashed upon the scene,. pro ducing the very effect they endeavored to prevent, for it not only confused but blinded the elephant, while the paia and torture of the knife and arrow wouuds rendered him almost frantic with rago and terror to such a degree that he rush ed madly forward, dealing destruction on all sides ; and it would be difficult to tell which party expressed the mcst satisfac tion in parting from each other's society, Iudians or elephant. Old E mpcror was purchased from tho King of Siam, and has been in this coun try on exhibition for about thirty years. He is known to the showmen as being tho best dispositioned elephant in the United States, never having been known to in jure any living creature. The Indiaus, noticing how docile he was, were not slow to take the advantage of his docility and good uature. The western Indian i3 noted for his thieving propensity, but history has no record of their ever endeavoring to pilfer so large an animal before, although their disposition was good enough to attempt it. Rut they have the consolation of knowing that they are not the first show men that started out and ''busted up." Mr. Robinsoa immediately scut for the chief to endeavor to conciliate him, and to remunerate those who bad lost their dwellings by the unfortunate occurrence. Upon the arrival of that dignitary bo quickly made known his wishes, when the chief immediately replied that the "father of all animals," as he termed tho elephant, "was not to blame, but that the blame rested upon his young men who had unfastened old Emperor, for which they were very sorry and hoped Mr. Robiusou would forgive them ; and now as no one had been killed only very badly scared he did not think it right that the "father of all animals" should bo made to pay anything, although nineteen wigwams were destroyed. Old Emperor appears to be particular ly unfortunate iu adventures. Wiuter be fore last, while traveling iu the South, be had a terrific combat with alligators in u Florida swamp, where he succeeded in saving the white camel that stands by his side, which at that time was a mero calf; and now comes this last midnight encountor with the Pottawatomied, from the wouuds of which he will not soon re cover. New Way to Make Batter. A coteuiporary states the following : Some of our farmers' wives should test tho truth of the statement, which if true, will prove a great giu to those who are engaged in butter making : A few days since, Mary Hughes put nbout a quart of crc:nu iu a cloth bug, and buried it about two feet deep in earth, where it remained three days, wheu she disinterred it, and found it transformed into pure, sweet, yellow butter, with not one drop of buttermilk to be seen. Mrs. Hughes thinks that creau will yield about one-third more butter by this process thua by tho old fashioned way of churning. How totako Bruises out of Furniture. Wet the part with warm water ; double a piece of brown paper five or six times souk in tho warm witer and lay it ou tho place ; apply on that a warm, but not a hot flut iron, till the moisture is evapora ted. If the bruise bo not gone repeat tho process. After two or tinea application.? the deut or bruise will be raised to tho surface. If the bruise be small, merely souk it with warm w'utor aud hold a red hot iron near the surface, keeping tit- surfueo cotitiuully el the b.uiae will aouu disappear. i ( : i : ! i V nr
