The CAMEL SHIP.-The store ship
Supply, purchased by the United States
Government in 1916, is making ready
for sea, at the Brooklyn navy yard, in
order TO start on her trip for Cairo or
ca Market" and take in a lot of camels
which are to be bought and brought to
this country for the purpose of trans
porting food, clothing. and other neces-
saries to our soldiers serving in the forts
which bound the great plains. An ap-
paratus has been made for getting the
camels on board. 1t is strong oaken
frame, having six wheels under it and
open at each end. The csmels will be
driven on this, and the ends, which will
fit him closely, be fixed up. He will
then be drawn to the water, let down
in his box, and then foated out to the
side of the ship, when he will be hauled
on board and put in his stab. The
Supply is now ready for sea. and it is
thought she will have an interesting
cruise. She viii run through the Med

most GOODNESS and daring, moving more
to the left, tried to storm the breast
work at another point. In this they
were as unsuccessful as in tie first at
tempt.
The troops reserved their fire until
the Russians closed, and giving one
tremendous volley, prepared to receive
those who might strive to cross the
breastwork with the bayonet. But SO
severe was the effect of their volley that
the enemy seemed paralyzed. Their
officers tried to lead them up, but the
men, though they fred fast, seemed
disinclined to follow. They were wav-
ering fast, when second force of Rus
SLAMS, about 500 strong, came upon the
field. The reinforcement made no fresh
effort to force the trenches, contenting
themselves with skirmishing to cover
the retreat of the attacking party. The
English never quilted their breastwork,
but fired with deadly accuracy into the
enemy, who were trying to remove
their killed and wounded. While eff
fecting this, they suffered severe loss
from our fire, which, from our very
sheltered position, they were unable to
return, at least, with any effect.
After about a quarter of an hours
skirmishing in this manner, the enemy
fell back and got under cover of the
Redan. As usual, the instant the at
tack was repulsed and the Russians
clear of, their batteries opened fire upon
the portions of our line on which the
sorties had been made. They poured
in regular volleys of round shot, grape,
and shell. The heavy, dark sky which
lowered over everything, seemed per-
feet Aurora Borealis, with the incessant
flashes of guns. This retaliation was
fully expected, and all our troops lay
down until the iron hail had passed
Only one man was killed by round
shot. None others were even wounded.
In about half an hour the cannonade
ceased, and except an occasional gun
from the enemy, or large mortar from
ourselves and the French, all Sevasto-
pol and the allied trenches were wrapped
in perfect silence. Our whole loss from
this sortie was three men killed and 13
wounded, two of the latter very dan
gerously.

AND FIRING.
SEvAsToPoL, May %.
A brisk sortie was made against the
left attack last night. At O'Clock the
weather seemed doing its worst-noth-
ing could be seen for the rain and dark
ness. An alarm was given, the men
were formed up in strict silence--the
weapons were looked to, and each de-
tachment, under the command Of its Of
ficers, proceeded to its appointed post.
Orders were issued that none were to
fire until the general command was
given. Col. L. Yea, of the 7th, was
field officer in command of the whole
party. A brigadier- general was in COM
mand in chief of all the troops in the
trenches, but be was stationed with the
reserve. In the meantime the two SEN
tries, who had remained in advance,
waited quietly for some further indica-
ton of the enemy's presence. After
about quarter of an hours anxious ex-
pectation, the head of body of men,
advancing quickly and cautiously, was
distinctly heard. One of the sentries
instantly returned to report it, the 9th
er remained at his post, until they were
within 40 yards of where he lay. He
then began retreating, keeping close to
the ground, neither going on too fast
nor suffering the enemy to overtake
him,
When within a stones throw of our
trenches the Russians stopped-our
sentry quietly entered our works and
pointed out their precise position. Ali
our troops preserved strict silence, and
so quiet were the enemy that it was i'm
possible to Say that they had not altered
their plan, and proceeded in another di-
rection. A few minutes passed in this
manner, and then in an instant fifty
shots were fred into our lines at dis
tance of six feet. 1t seems that when
the Russians halted they lay down on
their bellies, and crawled forward unob-
served until within musket's length oi
our trenches, when number of them
fred and sprang upon their feet. Oul
men were in no way taken by surprise
their positions were already assigned,
and they lay so close under cover thai
only two men were struck by the enc.
my's volley--one man killed on the spot
another dangerously wounded.
The Russians. who had first risen
made an attempt to rush into the work:

SwINDLINe.-An old citizen was on
last Saturday morning, swindled out OF
$500 by two sharpers, one of whom was
negotiating with the other for the pur-
chase of yoke of oxen, and finally en-
ployed the old gentleman to pick the OK
en- out of several yoke for sale. For this
service the old gentleman was to re-
ceive SO, and they all started to the
cattle yard. They, on the way, stopped
at bank ostensibly that one Of the
swindlers might draw the funds needed
for the transaction. The Bank was not
vet opened, and to accommodate the in
tended purchaser, the old gentlemanlent
him check for $500. They then went
short distance, when upon some pre-
tence, the seller of the oxen stopped
while the others went on. They had
gone couple of blocks, when the ac-
companying swindler sent the old gen.
tleman back to make some trivial inqui-
ry, and since then no traces of the rogues
have been discovered. In few min
utes after the old gentleman turned back,
the rogue had drawn the $500 from the
bank upon the borrowed check.

THE INDIAN AND THE BULL DoG.-
An English ship was at one of our
docks, on board of which was bull
dog. The animal was so ferocious that
he gained an extensive reputation
Chained at the gangway of the ship,
he spent all the livelong day in the
hopeless task, of springing at every
person who passed along. either on
pleasure or business. The owner, the
first mate of the vessel, would sit for
hours and detail the wonderful deeds
of this mighty dog. Crowds of idlers
daily collected, and there stood the hero,
or rather, raved the insane creature al
the multitude, each individual indulg-
ing the vain hope that he would present
ly break loose and pitch into sombody,
and thus show his prowess.
Among the idlers was an Indian who
occasionally visited the city, and made
few pence by shooting an arrow al
pennies stuck in the end Of a stick
Upon the very appearance of the In
dian, the bulldog was particularly vio-
lent, greatly to the amusement Of the
fellow, who took a malicious pleasure
in irritating the animal. The mate fin.
ally interfered, and told the Indian to
go away, lest the dog might break loose
and eat him up. The Indian, not the
least alarmed, in broken English an
nounced to the crowd, if the dog was
brought down and chained to post, he
would, for FIVE dollars, fight the dog
with nothing but his hands and teeth.
The money was raised, and the mate,
after expressing much reluctance at the
idea of having the Indian killed, brought
the dog down from the ship and fasten-
ed him to post. The Indian put away
bis bow and arrow, his knife, laid his
neck bare, and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. A ring was formed, and the
battle commenced.
The Indian approached the dog crawl
ing upon all fours, barking and growl-
ing, as if he was one himself. The
bulldog, meanwhile, jumped and fumed
at the end of his chain, gnashed his
teeth, foamed at the mouth, while his
eyes beamed living fire with irritation.
The Indian, however, kept up his PAN
tomine, and gradually brought his face
in fearful proximity to the dogs teeth.
The mate now interfered, for he felt
confident the Indian would get killed.
but the crowd had become excited, and
insisted upon "seeing the thing out. -
A mutual silence ensued between the
combatants, the dog straining his chain
in his anxiety to reach the Indian, until
it was as straight and solid as bar of
iron. Suddenly the Indian seized the
bulldogs under lip between his teeth,
and in an instant whirled himself with
the dog over on his back. So unex-
pected was the attack, and so perfectly
helpless was the dog, with his feet in the
air, and his jaw imprisoned, that he re-
covered his astonishment only to give
forth yells of pain; whereupon the In
dian shook him moment as a cat does
a mouse, and then let go his hold. The
dog, once so savage, putting his tail be-
tween his legs, retreated from his enc
my, and screamed with terror to get be-
yond the reach of the chain.

JUMPING INTO THE Batteries.
SEvAsToPoL, May 12.

ShNAoiOfOb, hag i%.
Last night, in the midst of an awful
storm of rain and wind-so thick that
no one could see yard before him-a
body of Russians came up on our left
attack, but the sentries gave the alarm
Just in time-and Col. McBeth of the
68th Regiment, got his men into order
and received the first fire of the enemy,
as they came up to the trench, with per-
feet steadiness. Some of the Russians
leaped upon the parapet and jumped in
to the battery, where they at once met
their fate. There was a desperate
struggle between the Russians and the
men of the 68th, outside the lines, in
which the bayonet was freely used on
both sides-but the enemy were re-
pulsed by our fellows, led by Col. Nc
Beth, Lieut.. Hamilton and sergeant of
the 68th. 1 regret to say that Captain
Lloyd Edwards and six men of the
68th were killed, and twenty-five men
of the same regiment were wounded
We took some wounded prisoners. 1t
is of course impossible, at this early
hour, to ascertain the particulars of the
attack, as the men have not come up
from the works yet. Some of our men
were wounded by stones flung by the
Russians, whose guns would not go of,
owing to the wet. The enemy lost
heavily, and they were seen dragging
off their dead during the night.

u The following poem, which we copy
from the June number Of the Knickerboker, is
one Of the best things we have seen lately.
a lent nv love book one day
She brought it back, laid il by;
Twas little either had TO say
: She was 50 strange, and I so shy.
''But yet we loved indifferent things
The spfcuting buds, the birds in tune;
And TnE stood still and wrsathed his wings
With rosy links from June to June
"For her, what task to dare or dof
What peril tempti what hardship beari
But with her, ahl she never knew,
Ny heart, and what was hidden therel
"And she with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed like maid bereft of sense;
But in crowd, all life and Joy,
And full of blushful impudence.
s'She married. well: woman needs
A mate, her life and love to share
And little cares sprang up like weeds,
And played around her elbow-chair.
"And years rolled by, but /, content,
Trimmed my one lamp, and kept it bright,
Till ages touch my hair besprent
With rays and CLEANS of silver light.
'.And then it chanced, 1 took the book
Which she had read in days gone by,
And as l read such passion shook
Ny soul, needs must curse or cry.
"For here and there her love was writ
In old, half-faded, pencil signs,
As if she yielded, bit by bit,
Her heart, in dots and under-lines.
'sAhi silvered fool too late you looki
know it, let me here record
This maxim, 'Lend no maid book
Unless 9Ou read L aftertoard."

This ecclesiastical body met at Marion G. H.,
ON Wednesday last, and will probably adjourn
this morning. The Session was very harmonI'
Gus, and the report from all parts of the work
within the bounds Of the Conference are very
satisfactory. The Missionary REPORTS eSPe-
calIy. are vary encouraging, and this noble en-
terprisp among the regroc, is bringing forth
abundsnt fruits.
The South Carolina Annual Conference has
always been the banner conference in regard tn
the anonnt contributed for The missionary
cause, but this ycrr il has outs;rippcd itself,
having raised the magnificent sum of 'we"yt-six
thousand dollars! This is the largest sum, we
understand, ever raised by any Annual Confer.
eucc in the United States. The collection in
chnrch alone, OF Saturday evening last. for the
missionary cause. amounted to within a fraction
of sixteen hundred dollars.
) The session Of the Conference was rendered
very interesting. by the attendance Of s"mc
eminent ministers Of other States. The Rev. DIR
