Uses of the Camel.

The Arabs of the desert sometimes
kill their Camels to satisfy the thirst of
an almost perlshlng caravan. 1t is the
false stomach which contains the water
and undigested food. This is strained
through a cloth, and then drank; and
those that have been under the necessity
of making use of the beverage say that
the taste is bitter. A sailor, whose love
of adventure had induced him TO make
a land voyage and who was present when
a camel was killed for this purpose. a.

the skin and skeleton of the deiunct

went! Why, in planning boat out Of
the remains. He found that a most ex-
cellent contrivance might be made fiom
them for the purpose of crossing rivers,
the backbone being used as the keel and
the ribs as timbers. The formation Of
the chest of the camel struck him as
being like nothing so much as the prov
of Portuguese bean-cod. or fishing
boat and, with the frankness Of a sail,
or, he adds that it was in consequence ol
hearing the Arabs always calling il
"markab,". or ship, that the idea first oc,

Ship. indeed Never was metaphor

ocean, where the compass is not unfre,

Effects of the British Tariff

The wealth Of several Of our Nor qhern
counties consists in their Iron ore. For
few years, the mines have been works
ed successfully, aud the enterprising men
of that region began to look forward To
years of permanent prosperity. More
than $50 forges have been erected, giving
employment, directly, to more than 700
persons, and, indirectly, to over 5000
These men earned more than Sl2 900 a
week, and were enabled to support them
selves aud families comfortably.
But, under the operation Of the Britt
sh Tariff of '46, the demand for their
abor has been gradually falling of. For
three years, the owners of the ore beds
and forges have managed TO live-on
hope They were reluctant to discharge
the men in their employ, because they
knew that, to do so, would be to cut Of
their only available means Of support.
Their only capital was their hands, and
the only mode by which they could ren.
der that capital available, was by labor
ing IN that department of industry to
which they had been bred.
But necessity knows no law" The
employcrs-ihcmselvcs men, generally,
Of small means saw nothing but nev>
table bankruptcy before them, if they
persisted in producing that which they
could only sell at loss. They have
been, therefore, driven TO a suspension
of their works. Four-flihs of all the
forge-fres in the Northern part of the
State have been already extinguished,
and the residue soon must be.
Heretofore, the busy aspect presented
by the multitude Of forges in operation
on the bank OF Lake Champain, cnnst-
tued one Of the pleasantest features OF
trip through iha, beautifully pictur-
esque Like. But now, those forges
stand out as so many 6uger-posis, point
ing to the destructive effects ofthe Loco
Tariff of 1916.
The money heretofore earned by these
2000 Iron workers is now sent to Eng
land and Wales. The SI2 900 a week
which they have hitherto expended a.
mong the farmers, mechanics aud mer>
chants in their neighborhood, goes into
the pockets of the farmers, mechanics
and merchants of foreign countries. And
this is the democracy Of loco focoism

does, and these facts in relation 10 the claim of
Texas, VINO 60 blind as not to see the fate that
awaits US! We must act, and that speedily This
Is the only alternative LETT u.s. We must form our
selves into State government, boldly assert our
rights, elect our Senators and Represe NATIVE and
demand OF Congress an equal participation in the
legislative councils OF the country. We may
be answered that II is better to wait until Con.
eress acts; that we have already elected a
Representative and sent him to Washington
to ask of Congress a territorial government
taive, as we call him. But what right has he to a
seat there 7 Ii is only from the courtesy of Con-
eress that they may allow him TO take a seat, but
ne will not be entitled to a vote upon single ques-
zion ne can only by courtesy be heard upon ques-
tons relative to this territory We do not pro-
pose TO take anything from him, our represen-
tative /; we only propose to clothe him with adj
dironal power and authority, for we feel JUS
tfed in saying, that no one in this territory
more Justly deserves, or should be so likely to
get his present place, if we were to form a
State government, or perhaps be promoted 10
the station of Senator. Ii would be an act of
great injustice and ngratitude to recall or su-
persede him; that we cannot believe the people of
this territory will be guilty Of Besides, at the
time that the steps were taken IN relation to the
formation of a territorial government, we were
not fully aware OF the wise determination of Con-
gress, in relation to the territories, the action of
or our position as to Texas. We call
to reflect upon our situation. II you have the
terest of New Mexico at heart, refiect-look about
you and study for remedy from our dangerous
position Drop all preferences for men and parties,
and look with an eye single to the welfare OF our
common country.
