and that it is likely that the material of the

transferred for the purpose. Thus, materi-

- It has become quite q common sight
to see camels and dromedaries marching
through our streets. The camels are now
employed in carrying government freight
from Powder Horn to the depot. They car
ry the enormous weight of 1900 pounds, and
with the greatest ease. The sight of them
sstampedes all the horses and mules that come
within sight of them. They are certainly
not handsome creatures. A horse in a
brisk trot, scarcely can keep up with the cam
els when in walk. Theyappearently goslow,
with their long measured tread, but in reali-
ty they are moving rapidly.-Tsnas Pa

career he ran in Chicago made him a pau
per and miserable broken down loafer,

reaping most abundant crop of repentance.
In this mood and tense it was announced to
him that deceased uncle had left him $780,
600. ooh dearH was his exclamation,
sahaYe I got to go through all this again
It'll kill me just as sure as shooting. 1t is
no use to fight again fate; they're bound to
ruin me p Chicago paper.
- It is said to be the prevailing opinion
in France that its government should take
no other part in the English difficulty with
the United States than that of Offering its
friendly mediation. The idea is secuted
that, in the event of war between the two
countries, France should in any more active
way lend her support to Great Britain. The
French Emperor, it is alleged, has been
heard to declare that there is no possibility
of such contest at present; but he has,
nevertheless, given orders that frigate of
war should be despatched to the Central
American coast, to be kept there en- smvea-
lance.
- Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,
has procured rife with three feet barrel,
disguised as walking cane, which he car
ries with him constantly, even into the Sen
ate Chamber, ready loaded and capped
Why does not Mr.. Wilson carry the weapon
openly? He might as we'll display his rife
as tell people he carries it concealed. These
Abolition Senators seem determined to out
do the Brookses in bullyism But they
merely buster and talk ferociously, SO that
there is not much danger of Mr.. Wilson re-
ducing the number of Southern citizens. A
very small cemetery will suffice to bury his
dead. What terrible fellows these Bob
Acres are !-Broohlyn Eagle.
