The CAMELs-In the Galveston News of Tuesday
last we find the following
We notice that the camels imported from the
Canary Islands being discharged yesterday from
the two vessels that brought them Some appre-
heHded that their strange appearance would cause
stampede among the horses, but though their singular
and huge forms attracted some attention, yet they
are so doce and gentle that no alarm was manifested
among our domestic animals. These camels, 81 in
ALL are imported private account and the owners
are ready to sell them either to the Government
private parties They are almost the only domestic
animal in the Canary Islands for service, and are
there used not only for transporting all burhens, but
also for blowing and nearly all other purposes on
FARMS No carts, wagons or carriages are there used
but the camel supplies their place. It's believed by
some that this animal will be found profitable for
similar uses in Texas, and the experiment already
made by the Government proves entirely successful.
But of these imported two three years ago has
died while there has been quite an increase by
births. The climate and food seem to suit them ad
mirably.

New YoRK SENSATION ITEM.-The usual seren-
ty of the fashionable locality of Avenue C, on the
East river side, has recently given place to scenes of
scandalous and alarming nature. a young lady,
the daughter of wealthy oyster merchant residing
in the above neighborhood was Tilted, several months
ago, by foreign gentleman of rank a Dutch rag
picker, who boarded under the same roof The girl,
although one Of the loveliest specimens of woman
kind, was rendered caous by the hopeessness of her
restoration to respectable society; and she, accord
ingly, submitted the dazzling effulgence of her
beauty TO the gaze of the heartless people of that
fashionable locality with considerable reluctance
whenever she was obliged to go to the hydrant for
water In this way she had lived about two months,
when, one evening last week. she met her iilter at
one Of our most popular places of public amusement
and, drawing fan, which it appears she had con
stanty carried about her person since her low
er's desertion, she knocked him down without the
slightest remorse. The wretehed girl then escaped ,
notwithstanding the strenuous efforts that were made
to arrest her; and hiring vehicle, she was driven,
at her own request, to small street in the extreme
suburbs of the city and adjacent to the North river
where she took of the ferryboats aud crossed to
Jersey, where she was found late last evening" Upon
receiving tidings of the event her distracted father
who has for some time past labored under serious PEI
cuniary difficulties with the greatest haste opened
a thousand oysters with tableknife.
