Posr MoaTEM ON A CAMEL.-A post NOR
tenn examination has been held on one OF the
eamels belonging to the circus that died recent
in this city. The fact awakened the sclentinc
curiosity of Dr. L. Louis, who visited tue
g Niontfaucon bone yard, and who thus describes
hisimpressions "Among other discoveries !
z found that In this animal as IN other runl,
-uants, there are only four stomacos, instead OF
Eve, as asserted by Button. But found that
in the Inferior of the rumen there existed
considerable ousntity OF cells, of the, average
size of hens egg, set as close together as the
.ocelIs Of A honeycemb. Aud it seems much
more likelylthat these numerous cells should
form the true reservoir containing an eight
days provision Of water than supposed reser-
voir OF the capacity of ten or twelve gallons,
which would derange the centre OF gravity OF
the animal according to its fullness, especially
when he is loaded with heavy and vofumln-
Gus burden which has to remain on his back
for several days. Would it not be to keep
these reservoirs always full that he lies down nat
on his belly ?"-,S. LOUIS Democrat
A PISTOL PLANT,-A few evenings ago the
librarian of the Long Island Historical Society
was startled by the report of pistol in the
book alcoves. He made search, but discovered
nothing, and at the time, no other person was
in the rooms. The next day the assistant Ii
brarian heard similar report, and q close To-
vestigation revealed the cause. An exhibitor
had placed in the rooms a case OF tropical
plants, among them pistol plant. which IS
sort OF nut At certain stage OF Its CROWN
the shell of it bursts with violence, and with
sharp SQUAD. exactly resembling the report or q
r;stoi The shiyered shells OF these were found
in the bottom of the case.-N Z. FoSt.
THE PATRIOTISM OF THE DAY.-The Wash
ineton correspondent Of the Springfield lMass.
Republican Rad. giving what he styles ian
inside look at Washington, says: Things
are in terrible shape here. Forty or htty
Congressman going out for good next March,
some only anxious to go out with full pockets.
The lobby is here with a million OF dollars,
which is being paid out with perfect reckless
ness. All the subsidy schemes are In comol'
nation, and nothing in earth or heaven but
ULYSSES s. Grant can save The country from
robbery to the extent of two hundred millions
between now aud March. "
OLD IN YEARs,-There resides in Washing
ton colored woman, named Melvina Bathley,
whose age as near as can be arrived at is l0S
or 100 Years. She resided until the war in
Prince Georges county, Maryland, and was
formerly slave of Mr.. Washington Berry. -
At the almshouse there are two persons who
are even older than the above mentioned, ana
on Capitol Hill two colored women reslde,whO
