It is tho pencral impression that the
while elephant is specifically different
from others, but this is not the case. Of
tho fourteen or more various elephants
that formerly existed in this country,
Europe and Africa, only two, the African
and Asiatic, aro alive to-day, and white
elephants aro likely to occur among
either. Albinism, however, occurs more
frequently among the Indian races than
any other, and it is merely tho result of
the absence of the minute particles of
coloring matter that tho microscope
snows us in the lowest layer of tho epi
dermis, or what we call outer skin, that
is, tr.e color-giving layer.
Albinos have always been regarded
with superstition in the East; especially
are white monkeys reverenced, and rec
ords from the earliest times contain men
tion of them. The common white ani
mals were prized, and quite naturally the
rare ones were reverenced by a people
among- whom superstition has reicned
for centuries, and so it comes that the
possession of these creatures is consul
ered the greatest possible honor. It is
J 3 !... . 1 1. : . e a ; - . 1 1 i i
"Lord of the Vhite Elephants," and
considers it one of his proudest titles.
Twelve years ago the king of Siam at
Bangkok received intelligence that a
baby whito elephaut had been captured
in tho northeastern portion of British
Bunnab, in 'the vicinity of Tounghoo.
It was brought to the capital with mag
nificence and pomp, and nursed on the
way and later by twelve native women
selected especially for the honor. Even
under this treatment the infant died, and
the nation went into mourning, all occu
pations ceasing for several days, and the
entire populace shaving their heads.
Such attention is not surprising when
it is realized that the white elephant, be
he mottled, yellow, brown, or gray, is
considered and looked upon as a mem
ber of the royal family, ranking next to
the queen. As a mutter of course, less
important officials and dignitaries are
anxious to claim relationship to it ; hence
the king of Cambodia calls himself the
"First Cousin of the White Elephant ;"
the prime minister of Siam, the "General
of the Elephants." The king of Burmah
is styled the "Lord of the Celestial Ele
phant," the king of Siam the "Master of
Many White Elephants," and the foreign
minister of Cochin-China "Mandarin of
Elephants," which,in fact, are only a few
of the titWs acquired by attendance upon
these pampered brutes.
Tho royal white elephant has its corps
of attendants of royal blood, mandarins
Ojf the highest class, its cabinet, its
tlpecial priest and medical attendant, or
generally those who divide their services
between the elephant and the human
king. In years gone by the white ele
phant has been worshiped by all classes
and considered sacred as being the tem
porary abode of a mighty Buddha. It is
now regarded as a deity and worshiped
by the lower classes, the most intelligent
nobles only considering it an omen of
good luck to possess them, and an honor;
but this regard is carried to such an ex
treme that it is akin to worship.
As early as 1500 the white elephant
was tho cause of numberless wars be
tween Siam and other outlying kingdoms,
and during one conflict over one of the ani
mals rive kings and thousands of soldiers
were killed. The animals are found by
accident when hunting for others, and
the discovery is the making of the finder,
as he is immediately, no matter how low
his condition, made a mandarin, ex
empted from all taxation for life, and
rewarded with a large sura of money.
The news of the capture is carried to the
capital by a special messenger, and a sea
son of rejoicing begins. A proper place
is at once prepared for its reception, and
its attendants appointed from the highest
nobles in tho land. These proceed to
the place of capture, conveying choice
gifts. If the captive has been bound
with ropes, these emissaries qjiange them
for others of scarlet or white silk, and
rich canopies of silver, white and gold
cloth, fans of feathers, coverings ami
rich robes are uli used to protect the
newly discovered member of the royal
family from tho heat, cold or from trou
blesome insects. If near a navigable
stream, a vessel is especially prepared for
the purpose, decked with silk, gilt and
precious stones, and covered with a can
opy copied from that of the royal palace
itself. Thus in gorgeous trappings the
animal sails down the river, receiving the
acclamation of the villages on the way
and showers of gifts.
If taken overland, it is escorted by
mandarins and nobles and other elephants
that conduct it through the farms, the
people offering up their possessions with
a free hand, when once in the city the
entire population enters unon a three
days' time of rejoicing. The mandarins
of tho nation now present their gifts,
which are often of the most expensive
kind. One lately described was a vase
of solid gold that weighed 480 ounces.
The animal is placed in the royal stall
prepared for it, its surroundings being
those of a monarch. One nobleman
brushes insects from it; another feeds
it with choice Iruits. About its tusks
are bracelets or bands of solid gold,
while the blankets that cover its ugly
Lody are of the richest stuffs that can
be obtained. If of a vicious disposition,
it is shackled to the ground by a chain
that is gilded or plated, and made as
rich and expensive us possible.
If the white elephaut dies, it is con
sidered a national loss. The body lies in
state for some time, iind then is placed
upon a magnificent funeral pyre composed
of the choicest stuffs and woods, the gifts
of thousands of mourners. Valuable logs
of sassafras, sandal, und other aromatic
woods are used and finally lighted, the
lire being kept up by four enormous gilt
bellows, one at each corner, that are
blown by noblemen. When the body is
entirely cremated, it is allowed to lie
three days, when the sacred ashes are
coiletru-d by a mandarian and placed in
valuable urns, which are conveyed to the
cemetery of tho King und buried with
much ceremony. This would naturally
be the last of the uiiiinal, but now archi
tects and builders are gathered, and the
outcome of their conference and lubor is
u mausoleum built over the ashes, of
richest ckoign uud workmanship, und tv
this place devoted mournew ofteu go,
leaving gifts in memory of the great de
parted. The money value of the white elephant
is difficult to determine, and what was
paid for the ono that is to bo exhibited
to tho Parisians and Londoners bofore
reaching this country, will probably
never be known. Fifty thousand dol
lars is given by Sir John Bowring, an
authority on whito elephants, as a pos
sible money value of one, but ho also
leaves us in doubt by saying that a few
hairs from tho whito elephant's tail were
worth a fortune.
This recalls a curious incident of Sir
John's visit to the king of Siam. He was
chnrged with a state message to tho king,
and on his return home was presented
with a pnlden box with instructions to
present it to he r majesty as a gift from
the king of Siam. It was delivered to
the queen in duo time, and when opened
found to contain a few hairs from the
tail of one of the king's whito elephants.
A Frccoelons Sonthern Boy.
Master Clement Thomas Maddux, a
native of Tensas parish, who has recently
come with his parents to reside in this
city, is a young gentleman still in hii
first decade, who at tho early age of five
began to "lisp in numbers," albeit not
of the poetic variety. A youth of that
age who looks upon exercises in mental
arithmetic as a pastime is perhaps as rare,
however, ns an infant Byron or Shake
speare. The young Clement smiles at
mathemat fcal difficulties that paralyze the
faculties of many older heads, and finds a
deep and satisfying joy in ' fractions."
At seven he had absorbed the wholo of
Davies' scries of arithmetics, including
the "University," and stood ready to tako
in algebra with equal avidity, but by the
advice of a prominent educator this branch
was postponed. Precocious as he is, Mas
ter Maddux has none of the painful pecu
liarities so often seen in phenomenal chil
dren. Ho is a bright, healthy boy, with
ruddy cheeks, clear blue eyes, and a
physique that seems quite equal to the
demands of the large brain. He has all
the fondness for boyish sports proper to
his age, and carries into everything the
same quickness of observation and un
derstanding that distinguishes him in
his studies. His remarkable talent for
arithmetic is not a blind intuition nor a
remarkable feat of note learning. Ho
knows perfectly what he is about, 'and is
able to explain his methods fully and
satisfactorily. These methods are the
result of a clear understanding of
the properties of numbers, and seem
to have been devised by himself
rather than acquired from others. They
have all the simplicity and directness of
those employed by experienced account
ants, and supplemented as they aro by
very unusual ability for carrying on men
tally complex processes of calculation,
they enablo him to solve, without the
aid of slate or pencil, problems that in
volve considerable ciphering for ordinary
people. He will estimate with sur
prising quickness and accuracy the ag
gregate value of a crop sold in separate
lots and at various prices, and is especial
ly delighted if these prices are expressed
in fractional parts of dollars and cents ;
or he will give with equal facility the
superficial area of the walls of your room,
or the solid contents of your wood-pile.
In geography, which ranks next to
arithmetic in his favor, he shows the
same facility of combining and general
izing his information. Names are more
to him than words. Each one calls up a
concrete image of the object referred to,
with all its surroundings. Thus tho
mention of an isthmus Suggests not only
the two continents united by tho narrow
neck of land, but the two seas separated
by it, as well as the possibility of a canal
which might sever the Continents and
unite the seas, and a bridge which
might place them again as they were.
Master Maddux is entered as a pupil in
one of the public schools, where he will
pursue the regular course, his father
wisely preferring that he should become
versed in all branches of knowledge
rather than pose as a youthful prodigy in
mathematics. Though only nine years
of age, it is impossible to look into tho
bright, intelligent face, at ence modest
and self-reliant, and note the dome-like
structure of the head, without indulging
in brillant forecasts for the ripened fu
ture of so much childish promise. New

IIo Recognized It.
A Philadelphian was sitting in a minin
broker's office, in Virginia City, one dav
last fall, when a stranger entered and
showed him a pound hunk of silver ore
whlcn was at least ninety per tent, pure
stuff. 1
"Found that on one of mv hills." he
said, as he drew up a chair and sat
down.
The cars of the man from the Quaker
city began to work, and his heart to
thump. The native looked green, and
erhaps he didn't know the vulue of that
lill.
" What you got ?'' asked the broker.

" Oh, nuthin' much jist a little hunk
I found on one of my hills," was the
reply.
The broker took the hunk, carefully
examined it for a minute, and then quietly
remarked :
' ' Yes, I recognize it. I sold that hunk
four weeks ago to salt a hill in the next
county ! Please put it in your coat-tail
pocket and move on. It's too rich for

A Little Russian's Until.
A little mouschik is taught to be very
clean once a week. The Russian creed
requires him to bathe every Saturday,
and he does so religiously, but does not
see much water between times, and sleeps
by night in the clothes he wears by day.
Even the Russians of better families
content themselves with a dry polish in
stead of a wash. Little Ivan's bath
would be a trying thing for an English
child. First he is steamed till ho is half
suffocated in a hole under the stove or
in one of the vapor baths constructed in
rude manner in all Kussian villages.
Then ho crawls out, and mother half
drowns him with pailfuls of hot water.
Then nhe pours ice-cold water over him,
or sends him out to have a roll in the
snow, after which little Ivun dresses,
with pride, haviug had all the cleaning
ho will get for a week.

Men seem neither to understand their

JIlVs.w... Editor: The Upper portion of Ver

bleakest during the winter. It affords ample
opportunity for tho tourist, providing ha
ehoosrs tho proper season, but the present
time is not that season. Btill there are men
mid women hero who not only endure the
rlimnta, but praise it tinstintingly, and that,
too, in tho facts of physical hardships the
most intense. '1 he writer heard of a striking
Illustration of this a few days since Which is
given herewith:
Mr. Joseph .larrpip Is Connected With tho
Vermont Central railr-nd in the capacity of
master niaoii. He Is well advanced in years,
with a ruddy complexion ni;d hale npear
nnee. while his general Iwarlng is such as to
instantly imprest one with his strict honor
and integrity. Several years ago he became
alllieted with most distressing troubles,
which prevented tho prosecution of his du
ties. Ho was languid, and yet restless, while
at times n dizziees would come over him
which scorned almost blinding. His will
power was strong, and he determined not, to
give wny to tho mysterious influence which
seemed undermining his life. But the pnin
and annoying symptoms were stronger tliftu
his will, nnd he kept growing gradually
worse. About Hint time le legan t notico a
difficulty in drawing on his lioots, and it win
by tho greatest eirort that h was able to
force his feet into them. In this manner dev.
era! weeks passed by, until Ilnnlly ono ni;ht,
while in great agony, he discovered that his
feet had, in a short while, swollen to enor
mous proportions. Tho balance of tho narra
tive can best be described in his owu words.
Ho snid :
" When my wife discovered the fact that 1
was ro bloated, she sent for the doctor im
mediately. He made a most careful ex
amination and pronounced me in a very seri
ous condition. Notwithstanding his care, I
grew worse, nnd the swelling of my feet
gradually extended upward in my body, Tho
toprf my head pained mo tarrihly; indeed, so
badly that at times it seemed almost as if it
would burst. My feet were painfully cold,
and even when surrounded with hot llannuls
and irons felt as if a strong wind were blowing
on them. Next my right leg U-came
paruh ccd. This gave me no pain, but it was
exceedingly annoying. About thistinie I be
gun to spit blood most freely, although my
lungs were in perfect condition, and I knew
it did not come from them. My physicians
were careful and untiring in their attentions,
but unable to relieve my sull'erings. My
neighbors nnd friends thought I was dy
ing and many called to see me, fully twenty
five on a single Sunday that 1 now recall. At
last my agony seemed to culminate in the
most intense, sharp pains I have ever known
or heard of. If red hot knives sharpened to
the highest degree had been run through my
body constant ly they could not have hurt
me worse. 1 would spring up In bed, some
times as much as three feet, cry out in my
agony and long for death. Ono night the
misery was to intense that I arose and at
tempted to go into the next room, but wai
unable to lift my swollen feet above tho little
threshold that obstructed them. I fell bock
upon the bed and gasd in my agony, but
felt unable even to breathe. It seemed like
death.
"Several years ago Itev. Dr. J. E. Rankin,
now of Washington, was stationed here as
pastor of tho Congregational church. Wra
all a hnired and respected him, and my wife
remembered seeing somewhere that he had
spoken in tho highest terms of a preparation
which had cured some of his intimate friends.
W e determined to try this remedy, ncord
ingly sent for it, nnd, to make a long story
short, it completely restored my health,
brought me back from th grave, and 1 owo
all I have in the way of health nnd strength
to Warner's Safe Cure, better known aj
Warners Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I
am positive that if 1 had taken this medicine
when 1 felt the ili-st symptoms above de
fci iled, I might have avoided all the agony
1 afterward endured, to say nothing of the
narrow escape I had from death."
In order that all possible facts bearing upon
the subject might be known, I called on Dr.
(Iscar F. Fiussett, who was for uineteen years
United States examining surgeon, and who
attended Mr. Jacques during his sickness.
He stated that Mr. Jacques had a most pro
nounced case of Albuminuria' or Bright'
diseu e of the kidneys. That an analysis
showed the presence ot albumen and casts in
great abundance and that he was in a con
dition whore few if nny ever recover, His
recovery was duu to Warnir's Safe Cure.
Mr. John W. Hobart, general manager ot
the Vermont Central lailroad, stated that Mr.
Jacques was one of the best and most faith
ful of his employes, that his sickness had teen
nn exceedingly severe one and the company
were not only glad to again have his services,
but grateful to the remedy that hwX cured so
valuable a man.
Mr. James M, Foss, assistant superinten
dent and master mechanic of the Vermont
Ceuiral railroad, is also able to confirm this,
1 do not claim to be a great discoverer, bat
I do think I have found in the above a most
remarkublo ease, and knowing the unusual
increase of Bright's disease feel that the pub
lic should have the benefit of it. It seems to
me a remedy that c an accomplish so muuli in
the last stages ought to do even more for the
Irst apprcajh of this deceptive yet terrible
trouble. F. b.

Relying on testimonials wrltton Id vlrid
glowing language of toimi miraculous ourm
made by some largely pulTod up doctor or
patent medicine ha hastened thousands t
their graves; believing in their almost in
ane faith tint tho Mime miracle will be)
performed on them, and that those tosti
monials make the cured, while the so called
medicine is all the time hastening them ta
their graves. We have avoiiiod publishing;
testimonials, as they do not make the cures,
although we have
THOUSANDS rrO!f THOUSANDS I
of them, ot the most wonderful cures, vol
untarily sent us. It is our medicine, Hop
Bitters, that make., the cures. It bos never
failed and never can. "VVa will give refcrenca
to any one for any disen-e similar to their
own if desired, or will refer to any neighbor.,
as there is not a neighborhood in the knows
world but can thow its cure by Hop Bitter.
LOSING JUKR.
A prominent phy-ician of Pittsburg said
to a lady patient who was complaining ot
her continuei ill health, and of his inability
to cure her, jokingly said: "Try Hon Bit
tors!" The lady took it in earnest and used
the Bitters, froin which she obtained orma
nent health. Bhe now laughs at tha doctor
for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with
il, aa it cost him a gooi patieut.
FKES Of DOCTORS.
The fee of doctor is an item that very
many persons aro interested in. We believe
the schedule for visiU is f i.OO, which would
tax a man confined to his lied for a year, and
in need of a daily visit, over $1,000 a year
for medical attendance alone! And on
single bottle of Hop Bitter, taken in time,
would save the $1,000 and all tho year s
sickness,
A lady's wish.
"Oh, how I do wish my skin was n clear
and oft as yours," paid a la ly to her i riend.
'You can easily mako it so. answered tha
friend. "Howl" inquire 1 tho iirst lady.
"By u.ing Hop Biturs,tlmt makes pure, rich
blood and blooming health, it did it fol
me aa you observe. "
t
OIVX.V UP BY THE DOCTORS.
"I it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and
at work; and cured by si simple a remedy I"
1 assure you it is truo that lie is entirely
cured, and with nothing but Hop Bittern,
and only ten days ago his doctors gave hin
up and said be must die, from Kidney aud
