REVENUE OFFIcERs-The Sacramento
Union is rather caustic on the revenue Off
GERS of such of the counties as have lately
settled with, or paid taxes into the State
Treasury. 1t says:
''That the sum of $116,S95 0S had been
paid into the State Treasury, to the credit
of the General Fund. in Controllers War
rants, by the Treasurers of seven counties,
out of $l99 1875 40, which had been collected
to be credited to that fund"
After showing this fact, the Union makes
copious extracts from the Revenue Law to
show that the officers have no right to make
their payments in Controllers Warrants,
unless the same are actually received from
the tax payers The law makes such tram
saction q misdemeanor, and imposes a fine
not exceeding iIyv tnUusauu uviiaTs, OF I'M
priscnment in the county Jail not exceeding
six months From the manner In which the
Union .adheres to this subject, it evidently
believes that the county officers have beer
specializing in Controllers Warrants-buy
ing them up at discount for the purpose
of psyinc them into the State Treasury.

THE CAMELs.-It has become quite COM
mon 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 carry the enormous weight of 800
pounds, and with the greatest ease The
sight of them stampedes all the horses and
mules, that come within sight of them
They are certainly not handsome creatures.
The only distinction the Arabs make be-
tween the camel and dromedary is, that one
serves for beast of burden, and the other
is riding nag. The word dromedary with
them means swift, or feet. horse IN o
brisk trot can scarcely keep up with the
camels when in walk. They apparently
go slow, with long and measured tread, but
in reality they are moving along rapidly. ;,
The dromedaries, with their riders and
gorgeous trappings, move along in q brisk
trot, at the rate Of one hundred niles per
day.
Major Wayne, U. S. A, the officer who
procured the camels, is still in town --Indf-

Juggiers cf India.

The conversation ofa friend, recent
" from India, enables US to notice one
OF two of the surprising performances OF
the iug.lers OF that co osntry, hich.
though familiar to persons acquainted
with eastern matters, may be new to
many of our readers
A party of juggles came forward on
one occasion to perform pnbllckly IN
the yard of the barracks at Madras
Many hundreds OF people of all kinds,
ages and denominations, including the
soldiery of the establishment, assem-
bled to witness the exhibition, and some
little temporary arrangements were
made, that all might see and hear con-
veniently. The leader fthe jugglers
who were all, of course, natives OF Hin
dostan. requested the commanding of
fcer to place guard of men around
the scene of display precaution
which was adopted, and proved very
wise one. The floor of the court, be
it observed, was composed of sand, firm
and well trodden. On this ground,
then after some preliminary tricks of
an inl eior kind, one man was LETT
alone with little girl, the latter SEEM
ing about eight or nine years old. Be-
side them stood tall, narrow basket,
perhaps three or four feet high. by lit
tie more than foot in width, and open
at the top. No other object, living or
inanimate, appeared on the ground
After short period spent by the man
in conversing with the girl, he seemed
to get angry, end began 10 raj loudly
at her for her neglect of some wish OF
his. The child attempted to soothe
him, but he continued to show an in
; creased degree of irritation as he went
on. By degrees he lashcd himself up
into such an apparent fury, that the
5 foam actually stood upon his lips, and,
> being naturally of an unprepossessing
counlenance, he looked. to the white
spectators at least, as like an enraged
demon as might be. Finally, his wratl
; at the girl rose seemingly to an uscon
Fl trollable height, and he seized her ant
nut her beneath the basket, OF rather

Again and again, would each try to

nounced it as an imposition. These
Gardens have the greatest variety of
the monkey tribe of any in the world.
Many young pombos, we were told.
have been taken to England, but none
have survived the change of climate
Some of the tribe are SO alert, that Du-
vacel says, he has often seen them in
confinement clear specs of eighteen
feet with the greatest ease, and that
for an hour together without intermis-
sion. Many birds stand no chance
with them. Once he let grey king
loose, and observed that 1t only for a
moment marked lis flight, then leaped
to a distant branch, caught the bird
with one hand, in passing, and scize'l
the branch with the other hand, as if
that alone had been its aim. This
kind when taken young, are very play
full and affectionate, and exhibit much
intelligence. A droll s'ory is told Of
one, which we will relate. An old ba-
chelor in Scotland, a banker. kept one
of these animals, and treated ii as
pet child One day venerable high
lander, after banking hours, observing
the doors not closed, made hi, appear
ance, and drew from his pocket his
leather bag, and empty ing his gold
from il on the counter, and spreading
his bank notes. waited for the banker
to take due account OF his savings. re
his great surprise, he saw the old gen
tleman aforesaid, take a flying leap,
with much gravity, from the chair on
to the counter, roll up his bank notes
and put them in his mouth, and at the
same time, taking up the gold sover
eigns, pelt him with handfuls Of them.
The highlander observing the sudden
madness Of this, to him, chief clerk Of
the establishment, made aim at him
with his knobbed stick, but the chief
clerk, jumped upon him, seized his hat
and wig, and made spring some doz
en- feet from the counter, on to Il shelf
at the further part of the room. where
he sat grinuing, chattering, and show
