Camels for the Prariries and the Plains

Mr. Joseph w. Fsbens once more urges the
camel upon the attention Of our stock-rsisers and
western lravelersi and We mean 10 help him, for
We believe that the settlement OF our western
plains requires ito domestication here.
Last year, during the hottest weather, Punch
represented diseusted butler with the inevitable
joint Of beef before him, wondering why some
body did not invent a new animal. II seems to
us that men jIurneyng across our plains with
horses and wagons must have often longed for
new anima--somethng with as much speed. but
greater endurance and strength than the horse.
The camel is precisely the beast required there.
According to Mr.. Fsbens it needs only bali as
much food as a horse will eat any Jthng, from
dried leaves 10 br.ers; will do without water for
ten days on a stretch will travel steadily for
three or four weeks at the rate OF fifty miles per
day, over bad roads will bear under such circum-
stances burden of six or eight hundred pounds,
and for short distances double that weight; Is 20
hardy that il does not suffer from great ex-
lremes OF either heat or cold is easily fed and
requires little care and the cheapest OF furniture.
Only one thing Mr.. Fabens onnits, in his inter-
estng account OF the camel--that is the cost OF
importing herd of twenty Of thirty. He asserts
that they bear transportation across the ocean
better than either horses or cattle and that spec
linens brought over by him did not drink on the
whole voyage across the Atlantic. To induce co.
terprisng slock-rsisers now to import them 10
breed from it needs only that they shall be told
where to purchase, what to pay, and what is the
probable cost Of transportation. We invite Mr..
Fabens to communicate these facts through our
columns.
The government once undertook to furnish the
stock here-but such enterprises succeed best in
private hands; we have little doubt that dozens
Of our wealthy western stock-rasers would see the
advantage Of raising c,mels, instead of mules, II
they could only have Trustworthy statements of
the probable cost Of q herd 10 begin the business
WITH and the special treatment they require.
caravan Of camels could make the journey across
the plains probably 10 half the time now occupied
by the mass Of travellers with wagons and mi-
ners and western men in general, are quick to
take up new methods where they offer decided
adyanlsges.-.N. Y. Post.

A ROMANTIC STORY OF STRATFoRD, CONN.,
That such town as Sustiord should afford any
thing in The way Of romantic personal histories
was hardly to be expected, but The subjoined
story IL authentic as well as interesting. At the
commencement of the present century young
man made his appearance IN the village, and
spent few weeks at the tavern which then ex-
isted to afford shelter to stage coach travellers
Whence he came aud what his business, none
could guess. Directly opposite the tavern stood
the small cottage and the forge Of blacksmith
named Folsom. Tie had daughter who was
the beauty OF the village and it was her fortune
to csptisate the heart OF the young stranger.
He told bis love, said that he was from Scotland,
that he was travelling ineog,, but in confidence
gave her his real name, claiming that he was
heir to a large fortune She returned his love,
and they were married A few weeks thereafter
the stranger told his wife that he must visit New
0feans he did SO, and the gossips Of the town
made the young wife unhappy by their dlsag'ee'
able hints and ieers. 10 few months the hus-
band returned, but before week had elapsed be
received large budget Of letters. and told his
wife that he must ut once return TO England,
and must 20 alone.

another glorious opportunity to make contid-
ing woman wretched. To all but herself it
was clear case Of desertion the vile became
a mother, and for two years lived on in silence
and in hope. At the end Of that time d letter
was received by the Stratford beauty from her
husband, directing her togo at once 10 New York
with her child, taking nothing with her but the
clothes she wore, and embark in ship for her
home in Eogland. 0n her arrival in New York
she found ship splenddly furnished with every
convenience and luxury for her comfort, and two
servants ready 10 obey every wish that she might
express Ths ship duly arrived in Eugland, and
the Stratford GIRL became the mistress of su-
perb mansion and. az the wife OF q baronet, wa'
saluted by the ariotocracy os Lady Samuel Ster
ling. On the death Of her husband many year,
ago, the Strstiord boy succeeded TO the utle anC
wealth Of his father, and in the last edition o
the #" Pserage and Baronetage," he is spoke'
Of az the issue OF " Mise Folsom OF Stratiord
North America" Whea tho late Proiesso
Ssilliman visited England some years since, h
had the pleasure ot meeting Lady Sterling a,
dinner ?arty. and was delighted 70 answer he
many question, abou. her birthplace in Connec

But the sun is approaching the western horizon,
and is preparing to shed bis evening glories over
everything visible. The sky is overspread with
soft ieeoy clouds, Just the canvass on which he
may paint all the lmpossibilities Of light and beau

Lake Champlain is a sea ofglass mingled with FIRE.
Waumbek Methna is all agow with radiance.
The Adirondacks are now the Delectable Mount

across the western sky. The coors flash up
warmer and richer, ill lakes, mountains, aud the
whole cope OF heaven are streaming With thou
sand inlermingliDg dyes, and the setting sun ex-
ut' in his perfect triumph. And not tilI deep in
the night can the darkness quench that marvellous
light.
Came's Hump is the most accessible Of all the

A GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY. The Sentinel,
published at Jacksonville, Oregon, OF the 18th
ultimo, says
- Several Of our citizens returned last week
from visit to the Great Sunken Lake, situated
in Cascade Mountains. about rs miles northwest
from Jacksonville This lake rivals the isnous
valley of Sinbai the sailor. II is thought 10
average 1000 feet down to the water all round.
The walls are almost perpendicular, running
down into the water, and leaving no beach.
The depth of the water is unknown, and ito
urfaee is smooth and unrufflsd, as il lies %
far below the surface OF the mountain that the
air currents do not affect it, Its length 10 esti-
at IL miles, and its width at TO- There is an
island in Its center having trees on it, Liv-
ing man never has, and probably never will, be
able to reach the waters edge. Ii lies silent,
still and mysterious in the bosom OF the ever
lasting bills, like huge we'll scooped out By
the hands OF the giant genti oil the mountains,
in the unknown ages gone by, and around ii the
primeval forests watch aud ward are keeping.
The visiting party fred rifle several timss IN
the water, at an anglo Of forty-fve degrees, and
were able 10 note several seconds Of time from
the report OF the gun ill the ball struck the
water. Such seems incredible, but 10 vouchsd
for by some OF our most reliable citisens The
lake is cet;Siuly most remarkable curiosity

FouR YEARS AMONG THR CANNIBAIs Thomas
Ross, a coored man, one OF the crew Of the
guuboat Tloga, called upon US yesterday and
gave an interesting account, and showed 10
some Of the effects OF four years compulsory
residence among the cannibals OF the Pacific
islands. The vessel 10 which he had shipped
from Sidney, Australia was wrecked Oh one OF
the South Pacific islands, known as Mitchells
group, lat. 80, lon. 1872 L. Himself, the cap.
tain and FIVE seamen, escaped to the island,
where they were Immediately seized by the
natives thereof, stripped Of their clothing, and
at once inducted into the modes and ways Of
life peculiar to that people. No harm was done
them but they were compelled to adopt all the
fashions of the natives. The result OF one OF
these Mr. Ross still bears on his person. Their
ears were perforated and rings of cocoa nut half
an inch in diameter inserted to the number OF
thirty 10 each eat. The effect Of so much
weight was 20 stretch the lower part Of the ear
until it became aligned with the chin. Mr..
Ross still wears a number OF these rings. The
wide aperture thus made is usually stuffed with
bunches of hjwers, giving to the wearer gro
tetque appearance. Vessels occasionally passed
the island during his enforced residence there,
but the natives at such times kept strict watch
on their captives, and never permitted their
presence to be known on shipboard. Ross and
companion escaped by swimming of to YES
sci one dark night. Their companions for
aught he knows, are still on the island. Corn,
pumpkins, yams and oranges were abundant,
and required but little cultivation. Toe natives
were frequently at war with a nsighboring
tribe, GJing forth to battle, they confined
- sk..u
their return. In all other particulars they were
treated ts equals and brothers. Many other
interesting particulars were communicated,
which We have not space to enumerate.

FRAGMENT OF NATURAL HIsrosr.-Mr. Troll
ope, N his new novel, thus AmericaniEs ~
must protest that American babies are an unhap-
py race They eat and drink just as they please
they are never punished they are never ban
lshed, snubbed, and kept in the background, -
children are kept with us and yet they arc
wre,ched and uncomfortable My heart has
bled for them as have beard them squalng BY
the hour together, in agones Of discomfort and
dyspepsia. Can II be, wonder, that children
are happier when they are made to obey orders,
and are sent to bel al six o'clock, than whom
allowed to regulate their own conduct; that
bread and milk Is more favorable to laughter
and soft childish ways than beefsteak and pickles
three times day; that an occasional whipping,
even, will couduce to rosy cheeks' II is an idea
which | should never dare to broach to An
American mother but, must confess, that
after my travels on the Western continent, my
opinions have q tendency in tina, direction.
Beelsteaks and pickles certainly produce smart
little men and women. Let that be taken for
granted. But rosy laughter, and winning, child
sh ways, are, | fancy, the produce of bread and
milk
