IHE CANELs IN TEXAS We visited Par
sons wharf on Tuesday to witness feat of
strength performed BY one of Mrs Watson s
csmels, Of which there we're near a dozen ON
the wharf, Of all sizes and ages The camel
loaded was one Of the largest. Upon the word
OF command being given the camel lay down,
ready to receive his load, which consisted of
i've bales Of hay, weighing in the aggregate
over 400 lbs, which was firmly bound to the
pannier placed upon the animal hump. Upon
the utterance ofcommand by the native keeper
the huge animal rose, without any apparent
extra effort, to bis feet, and walked OF in q
stately manner along the wharf and through
the city. We were informed that the same
camel bad had 800 lbs placed upen him, with
which enormous weight he easily rose. The
animals are all exceedingly tractable, and seem
TO possess much affection for any one who treats
them kindly; ss an example of which Mrs.
watson informed us that one of them. a
pretty white one, which abe had petted. would
always kiss her when she went within kissing
distance, which fact We really thought proved
the animal TO possess an excellent tsst as we'll
as an afsctionats disposition. In their native
country, the average load for q full-grown n
camel Is some 500 lbs with which thew perform
long journeys over deserts, with but little food
or water. We doubt not that with the abund-
ant forage found in all parts Of Texas, and q
iull supply OF water &, nerslIy, the Q mel will
improve IN strength and general appearance
aud be able TO transport larger loads, Mt Q more
rapid pace, than in his native country.-Gal.

and two gentlemen chung to the snag
that had caused the disaster and while
holding on this perilous condition, the

sen, back to the rescue. The ladies
and gentlemen who were clinging to the
snag, were taken to shore in safety, after
remaining nearly an hour. Mr.. Fair.

Fourth of JHly.-.keep the Ball in
Motion.

The following paragraph VIC clip from
the Louisville Journal, because We think
it is as applicable here as in that locality,
and also because it breathcs forth the real
genuine patriotic spirit. Read it. every
man, woman and child-and then talk
about it to your neighbors. Stir up
the fires" and let US have a real 4th Of
July celebration this year:
"What is Louisville going to do in
the way Of celebrating the Fourth Of
July? We certainly ought to have a
more vigorous demonstration than has
occurred Of late We do rot like to see
this apathy growing over the nation in
relation to its holidays. When the Dec
laration Of Independence was signed,
the old patriot John Adams wrote, in a
spirit Of prophecy, that the day would
be celebrated by bonfres, Examinations,
ringing Of bells, and every variety Of
public rejoicing; but as the shadow Of
that great event lengthens in the dim
past, even on the anniversary Of lis
eighty third occurrence. it becomes nee
cssary to remind the American people Of
their duty and stimulate them to even
its decent observance. Let US do some
thing to make the young feel an interest
in the day and lead them to study the
history Of that glorious convocation Of
patriots who proclaimed Liberty to he
people. Let us have military parade
Of our volunteer companies, an grafton
BY some prominent citizen; the reading
Of the Declaration, and fine display Of
fireworks at night, while from the ris-
ing Of the sun even unto the going down
Of the same" let the bells from every
spire ring out their merry peal. Who
will take the iniative in some such move,
ment? We want to have Independence
Day celebrated, and, if we cannot have
a public demonstration, we know two or
three who will assemble together in the
name Of their country, and We feel that
the benignsnt power which has always
blessed our country will be in the midst
Of us.
