Hus5 ahty, endurance, ana Willingness, as
of its adapibility to every climate and
every soil, On the journey from Da.
mascus to the coast, in the month Of
March, or from Koniah to Smyrna, the
traveller often passes in q day from the
SHOWS of the mountain to the burning
sand of the desert.-a change which has
no effect upon his hardy beast.
Amongst the Mohammedans cannels
ffeshis an article of food. When youno
i Is not easily distinguished from beef
Camels milk is the chief food of the
wandering Arab: and the hide of the an
imal I'M is considered superior to every other
for sandals. gatt ~
1 have thus enumerated some of the
advantages which would render the in.
PRODUCTION of the camel into America an
inestimable benefit. The is no reason
why the camel should not be as service
able to man on the prairies Of Texas and
the mountain regions of Mexico, New
Mexico, and California, as in the cores
ponding tracts of the Old World---the
line OF country from Orenburg to NIGGA
dore, and frcm. Mogadore to Pekin.
1t would be acclimated as soon and as
easily as the geaias dsinas, no species of
which existed here until the Spaniards
imported the horse and ass, and the New
World already possess an animal of a cor
responding species to the camel-the

Camels are often tormented by sore
humps and the mango, which, from, the
innate carelessness of the Arab. are often
neglected until they put an end to the
animal'susefulness. There are also other
defects, which the dealers are as dexter
Gus in concealing as any dealer in horse
flesh in the Old or New World, In pur-
chasing, therefore, it il necessary to be
acquainted, not only with the nature and
habits of the animals, but also with the
language and character of the dealers,
and with the laws which regulate cattle-
dealing flaws which are the same wher-
ever the Arabic is spoken and the Koran
reyered. have seen camels of burden
sold for So and for $50, and running
caIncls for $50 and for$200. The cheap.
est and the best are to be procured in
those places where there is least foreign
trade, for example. Mogadore, in the
Khalifat of Morocco.
GEN. TAfLoN. AND JEFFEaseN DAVIS
Queer things happen in this world. A
Jew years ago jf;;;;::s ;;:: :sssia;s: 1:. the hanks
of the Southern Mississippi eloped with
the daughter of an old planter, as the fa-
ther would not consent to the marriage.
Time rolled on; the daughter died, and
the father and widowed husband met on
the bloody but victorious field of Buena
Vista. On that terrible day, amid scenes
of carnage and valor, the gallant young
hvro sustained well and nobly the gallan-
try of his countrynen, and the old hero,
extending to him his hand for the first
time since the marriage of his daughter,
said, "Sir. my daughter was better
Judge of character than / am. Here is
my hand"
Two years have passed away. A
President is to inaugurate. The son-in-
law, now g member of the United States
Senate, is appointed chairman of COM
mittee TO wait upon the President and in
form him of his election. Then again the
father and son-in-law met. That was
proud meeting for Jefferson Davis. 1t
was his hong Of victory. We would rath.
erthaye been Davis than Taylor. The
sweet whisperings of the spirit voice of
the departed one must have been with
him there Mississippian.
