Towurd tho end of the summer of
1850 William Cotton Oswell was on un
f'.ophant-liunt In Africa, and nearly lost
(lis llfo. In his biography his own dt
(Jcrlptlon of the adventure Is given. An
I elephant was close to lilm. There wns
no time to wait If the hunter was t)
' get a shot. The beast was on the move,
and the dust Hew from Ida side as tin'
heavy ball struck him.
Screaming angrily, he turned full
front lu the direction cf the tree by
which 1 stood, motioiilest". For a mo
ment we confronted one another, and
then the rumbling note of alarm ut
tered by his companions decided hi:-'
on joining them. I regained the pat'.i
and rode along the line of their retreat
which, as shown 'by the yielding bush,
was parallel to It. After a time the
thorns thinned out, and I caught sight
of the wounded elephant holding a
course of his own a little to the left of
his fellows; and when he entered the
tropical forest beyond 1 was In his
wake, and very soon compelled to fol
low where he broke a way.
A little extra noise from the pur
suers caused the pursued to stop; and
while clinging like Gilpin to the horse
and peering at the broad stern of the
chase, I saw him suddenly put his head
where his Uill ought to have been. The
trunk was tightly colled. Forward
Happed the huge ears, up went the tall,
and down he came like a gigantic bat
ten feet across.
Pinned above and on each side, by
dismounting 1 could hope neither to es
cape nor to kill my opponent. 1 there
fore lugged my unfortunate anlma'
round, and urged him along. The ele
phant thundered straight through ob
stacles which we were obliged to go
round, and In fifty yards we were fasl
In a thick bush, and he within lifted)
feet of us.
As a last chance I tried to get off,
but lu rolling round In my saddle no
spur galled the pony's Hank, and tho
elephant screamiug over him at the
same moment, he made a convulsive ef
fort and freed himself. That depos
ited ine in a sitting position Immediate
ly in front of the uplifted forefoot of
the charging bull.
So near was It that I mechanically
opened my knees to allow him to put 11
down, and throwing myself back, cross
ed my hands upon my chest, and obstl
uately puffed myself out with the Idea
of trying to resist the giant tread. J
saw the burly brute from chest to tal!
as he passed directly over me length
ways, one foot between my knees am!
one fourteen Inches beyond my head,
and not a graze! Five tons at least.
Out of all my narrow escapes this la
the only one that remained with me It
recollection for any time. One hear.'
of nightmares. Well, for u month oj
moro I had nlghtelephants.
APROPOS'S LEGACY.
Although the number of slaves In
Newburyport, Mass., was never very
large, says the author of the "History
of Newburyport," yet the purchase and
sale of negro women and men, brought
from the Barbados and other Islands
In tho West Indies for some of the
prominent Inhabitants of the town,
was not considered Illegal or disrepu
table previous to the clo-v of the Revo
lutionary War. It Is pleasant to know,
however, that the greater number of
the slaves were not anxious to escape
from bondage, and were well cared for
by their masters.
Patrick Tracy, In his will dated Oc
tober Hi, 178X, and proved April (J, 1780,
gave to the children of his son, Na
thaniel Tracy, several acres of land
opposite the burying ground In New
buryport, with the following restric
tions :
"I hereby reserve to my faithful
black man Apropos a right to dwell
with his family In the house now stand
lng upon my land or field aforesaid, by
the burying Place, In which be now
dwells, and also a Bight during his tho
said Apropos's natural Life to Improve
the Garden atlj.dnlng his said dwelling
house, which Bights, five of any Bent,
I hereby give and confirm to him, the
said Apropos, during his own life and
no longer."
He also gave "to the said Apropos"
six pounds a year, to be paid In Instal
ments on the first day of January, May
and September of each year.
"And further 1 hereby enjoin It upon
my children that when and so far a?
the said Apropos Is Incapacitated from
acquiring his subsistence, and that
with comfort, that they equally Join lu
assisting him to render his life com
fortable, and this I expect from my
children as they value my injunctions
or shall respect my memory."

BABY COVERED WITH SORES.

Have Died but for Cutlcurn."
"My little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
como out on his face. I had a phy
slclun treat him, but tho sores grew
worse. I tieu tuoy begun to come on
his arms, then on other purts of his
body, and then one came on Ids cheat,
worse than the others. Then I called
another physician. Still he grew worse.
At the end of about a year and a half
of suffering he grew so bad I had to
tie his bauds In cloths at night to keep
him from scratching the sores and tear
ing the flesh, lie got to be a mere
skeleton, and was hardly able to walk.

about two months the sores were all
