Herd of CameIs in Nevada.

On a ranch On Carson river, eight
miles below the mouth OF Six-mile
Canyon, and about seventeen miles
east of the city, is to be seen a herd
of twenty-six Camels, all but two of
which were born and raised in this
State. But two of the old herd OF
nine or ten brought here some years
ago are now living. 1t would seem
that the original lot fell into the hands
of Mexicans, who treated them very
badly, overlooking and abusing them.
The men who now have them are
Frenchmen, who had form erly some
experience with camels in Europe

growth. The camel may now he said
to be thoroughly acclimated in this
State. The owners find it no more
dl(icu to breed and real them than
would be experienced with the same
number ofgoats ordcnkeys- The ranch
upon which they arc kept is sandy and
sterile in the extreme. yet the animals
feed and grow fat on such prickly
shrubs and bitter weeds IS no other
animals would touch. When left to
themselves, their great delight, after
themselves with tho coarse heY-
bage of the desert, is to lie down and
roll in the hot sand. They are used
packing salt to the mills on the
from the marshes lying in the
deserts some sixty miles to the east
ward. They have animals that easily
rack LOO pounds.

Gen. Schenck.

The Delaware Gazette, a very Ielia-
BILE and able Republican paper says,
General Schenck, will refuse to con-
test the seat of Hon. L.. d. Campbell,
on the ground that if his services as
an officer N the late war, are not more
fully appreciated in his District than
to depend upon a few soldier votes in
the Asylum, he will have nothing fur
ther to say.
On the contrary, the Ottawa Union,
an other well edited and very reada-
bic paper says:
General Schenck, has consented
that his friends shall contest the cleo
tion of Campbell, in the Dayton Dis
trict, upon the single point whether
the inmates of the Military Asylum
had the right to vote. The Supreme
Court of Ohio had unanimously decid-
ed that they had no right to vote, and
were not legally residents of Ohio, and
consequently their votes, when offer
ed, were rejected. The question is one
exclusively within the control of the
House of Representatives."
We are uncertain as to which of
these editors has the confidence of Gen.
eral Schenck. Perhaps both are on
terms of Intimacy with him. Schenck
is kuowu to be full of wonderful STRAIT
egg, and perhaps he intends to repeat
the Vienna attack.
Of course Congress will set the
matter all right. The Butler Pony,
will have no chance there, ifke should
have a less majority than ten thou
sand votes.

THE NEW PARTY.

ers, foreshadowed by the Chicago
Tribune of Saturday last, creates
quite a little oommotfon it Washing
ton. and a very decided feeling OF
uneasfr1ess in administration quarters.
Colonel Forney yields the whole ques-
ton, admits that there is a new party,
declares that the Chicago Tribune has
deserted the Republican party, and
states-what the Tribune does not
allege even-that Senator Trumbull
is to lead the new coalition and be-
come its candidate for the Presidency.
During the late canvass he made n
speech at Springfield which was in
favor of revenue reform. 1t will be
remembered that at the last session Of
Congress he introduced Civil Service
BILL making it a misdcmeanor for
members of Congress to solicit Off
ccs, or-to sign Recommendations for
Office in any of the executive depart
ments of the government. He is I'M

that in his Springfield speech Senator
Trumbull foreshadowed the policy
which he's been adopted by his organ,
the Tribune. 1T is evident" says
Forney, ''from the tone OF the 1ri-
bune article, that it has abandoned all
hopes of the Republican party being
able to elect its candidate in 1872"
Senator Trumbull is in Washington,
and while he does not admit that he
is a candidate Cor President of the
Revenue Reform party, or any other
party, he at the same time warmly
indorses the cause of the civil service
reform, as we'll as that of revenue re-
form. He is pledged to both and
will advocate both in his place in the
Senate. Senator Schurz, who made
the triumphant fight in Missouri
against the combined influence Of the
State and national administrations,
says that the revenue reform move
ment will sweep the west; that no
party and no administration can
stand up against it. He arrived to-

The Value OF a Scrap Book.

All who fake a newspapers which
they in the least degree appreciate, will
often regret to see any II number
thrown aside for waste parer which
contains some interesting and impor-
tant articles. a good way to preser:e
these is by the nse of the scrap book.
One who has never been accustomed
thus to preserve short articles, can
hardly estimate the pleasure it affords
to sit down and urn over the pleas
ant and familiar pages. Here a choice
piece of poetry meets the eye, which
you remember you were so glad to
see in the paper, but which you Mould
long since have lost had it not ben
for your scrap-book, There is a witty
anecdote-it does you good to laugh
over it yet, though for the twentie
time. s'5
Next is a valuable recipe YOU had
almost forgotten. and which sou have
found just in time to save much per-
plexity. There is a sweet little story,
the memory of which has cheered and
encouraged you many a time when al,
most ready to despair under the pres
sure of life's cares and trials. In
deed, you can hardly take up a single
paper without persuing it. Just glance
over tho sheet before you, and see
how many valuable items 1t contains
that would be of service to you a hun
bred times in life. A choice thought
is far more precious than a bit of gilt
tering gold. Hoard with care the pre-
cious gems, and see at the end of the
year what a rich treasure you have
accumulated.-OttGwG Union

Pomeroy.

Exception is taken by a few, to our
criticisms, last week, on Pomeroy's
Democrat. We disclaim any inten-
ton of wounding the feelings of
any man on that sub ject. Our
remarks, concerning Pomeroy were
chiefly based upon his open and bare
faced defence of Richardson, In the
seduction and ruin Of the wife of Nc
Farland, and for continuing his tirade
against that unfortunate man after he
was reported to have been placed in
an Insane Asylum. The conduct of
Richardson, we think, cannot be JUS
titled by any man who desires the well
fare of his own family.
20 We have been assuredthat the Dem
ocrat has passed into other hands, and
that its moral tone hereafter will be
different. If so, we will be as happy
as any man to note that fact.
The following general propositions,
we think, will meet the approval of
all right minded people:
]. If a newspaper is not SO conduct
cd as to elevate the moral and intel
lectual tone of society, it should have
no place i'll the family circle.

AOh h1L, 4NOh" w. LOtO.
My attention has been called to the
several statements of the newspapers
about the McGarrahan claim, and its
relation to the controversy between
Secretary Cox and the President. l
do not think the merits and the posi-.
ton of the case are exactly under
stood by the country certainly one
view of them has Eot, 10 my knowl-
edge, been stated.
1t becme my duty, as n member
of the Judiciary Committee of the
House, to take part in the investiga-
ton of the case and to hear the very
able argument on either side in
behalf of the McGar:ahan claim and
that of the New Idria Company for
many days during the last Congress ;
and after the fullest investigation and
the most patient thought / could give
to the subject-an I, l will add, from
motives of personal friendship to those
urging the claim on the part of Nc
Garrahan-I found myself unable to
come to the conclusion that McGar-
rahan had any right to the premises.
His claim may be briefly stated in
n very few words. Almost at the
very moment of the abandonment of
California by Michael Torrena, the
Mexican Governor. II OF the clerks
in the office of his Commissary,
Vicente A. Gomez, claims that Mi
chael Torrena gave him a grant of
the land now in dispute, containing
many leagues, and alleged to be
worth a number Of millions. The

Game Extraordinary,


On Saturday last, Sidney was the
scene of a streak of sport that would
have tickled the ribs of the oldest

claim, and imputations cast upon the
conduct of President Grant, for the
part he has taken in the matter.
1t is alleged by the friends Of Mr..
Cox, that the quarrel between him
self and the President, originated in
the attempt, on the part of the Pres
Ident, to induce the Secretary of the
Interior, to confirm-the claim of Nc
Garrehan, by the issue of 4 Patent.
which the Secretary refused 10 do, and
this, added to his refusal to have his
clerks plundered by political mounte-
banks, was the real occasion of his re-
moval.
On the other side of the question
comes Ben Butler, in n special plea
for Grant? 1t Buffers account Is
historically correct, McGarrahan, has
no just claim to the lands in dispute,
and should, with his lobby agents,
be requested to depart the capital.
Butler, further i~nsinuates that the
Secretary was committed to an allowance
of a Patent for same lands to the New
Idria mining company. To this allie
cation. Secretary Cox, authorizes The
Cincinnati Gdzette, to state:
Gen. Cox, authorizes us to state in
the most explicit terms that the insin-
u%ation. coming from whatever source
it may, that he has ever favored the
issuing a patent to the New Idria Co.,
is un1ualifiedly false /; and that he has
never by word or act, or in any way
expressed the intention of favoring
su.h issue"
Altogether, this Is a very interest
ing family fight. Let 'em rip.
