On a ranch on the Carson river, eight
miles below the mouth Of Sixmile can
on, is to be seen herd OF twenty-siX
camels, all but two of which was born
and raised in Nevada. But two OF the
old herd of nine or ten brought here
some years ago are now living: IL
would seem that the original lot fell IN
TO the hands of Mexicans, who treated
them very badly, overlooking and abus'
inc them. The men who now have
them ale Fronchmeu, who had formerly
some experience with camelsln Europe
They find no difficulty in rearing them,
and can now show twenty-five une
healthy animals, all of Washoe growth
The camel NAV now be said to be thor
onpblv acclimated in the state. Inc
owners of the herd find it no more dii,
fcuIt to breed and rear them than would
be experienced with the same NUMBER
Of goats or donkeys. The ranch upon
which they are kept is sandy and sterile
in ihc extreme; yet the animals feast
and grow f0t on such prickly shrubs ana
bitter weeds as no other animal woulo
t3uch. When left to themselves thielr
creat delight, after filling themselves
Nth the coarse herbage of the desert,

desert some sixty miles to the eastward

A RIVER HORROR.

An ohio MaI-Hoat Burned to In,
Waters Edge--Over Twenty Live,
Lost.
The operator at Aurora, Ind. reports
that the steamer Pat Rogers burned on
the 9th inst, one mile below Aurora.
About twenty lives were lost Several
bales Ct cotton which formed part of
the cargo, caught fire, it is supposed
from sparks from the chimneys, and the
boat burned to the waters edge, boat
and cargo, the latter consistingof cattle.
sheep and hogs, total loss The pas
senger register and all books were lost.
The boat was valued at 100000, and
insured in Cincinnati, for 1872, 600 and
Louisville for IS 600. The value of the
cargo is not ascertained.
THE ENGINEERS STORY.
Mr.. Holmes, thg engineer gives the
following account of the burning: "It
was just about 6 o'clock when Just op-
posite Loughery Creek, that flows into
the Ohio river, two miles below Aurora,
that noticed a bris ht light in some
bales Of cotton in the after part of the
boat, | FASTENED to the spot and found
the cotton burning rapidly aud beyond
any possibility Of Immediately extin-
gushing it, | hastened to the hurri-
cane deck and gave the alarm to the
pilot that the boat was burning and told
him to run ashore. The pilot at once
turned the boats head to the shore and
Immediately she became unmanageable.
The pilot states that he could turn the
wheel but the steamer would not an
swer to her helm. He thinks
THE TTLLER ROPE HAD BEEN CUT.
From this fact it is thought the fire
was the work of an incendiary. Anoth-
er theory is, that one of the deck pas
sengers, while smoking, dropped sparks
from his pipe into cotton. When the
boat became unmanageable she drifted
on to q sand bar, and there grounded.
The flames, instead of spreading along
the lower deck at once, shot up to the
cabin and pilot house, an then swept
across the hurricane deck. The pas
sengers were all aroused and the boats
lowered, and many were carried to the
Shore bDt others, in their fright, jump
ed into the water, and those who were
not drowned reached a safe landing place
after drifting long time with the cur
rent. There were nearly a hundred
people on board, but what proportion
Of this number were actually lost is not
known, as many reported missing have
been seen by some on the shore after
the disaster
The latest intelligence says the per
sons perished are near thirty in number.

Caution to Ladies Going Abroad.

A recent decision made By the Frenco
court, the Tribunel de la Seine, holds
that marriages solemnized at the resi-
dence of foreign minister, resident in
France, are not marriages at all. By a
fiction of international law, the resi-,
derce of an ambassador or minister is
considered for certain purposes part OF
the territory of the country he repre-
sents, but this appli. only to diplomatic
acts. 1t does not extend to civil acts
affecting the citizens of the country to
whom the ambassador is accredited. A
marriage contract at minister's resi-
dence between French subject and a
foreigner has no existence, on account
of the incompetency of the foreign Off
cial who solemnized it. This decision
will naturally cause some uneasiness to
our American friends that have married
French wives or husbands at our minis
ter's residence in Paris, and who wish
for many reasons to have the contract
legal in both countries.

What an Italian Brigand's Head is
Worth.

In the northern provinces and in Sicl-
ly briganjogo is as fourishing as in
the olden times; the police are either
partisaus of Indicators or are impo'
tent against their organized forces, and
The poor find it their interest to protect
the brigands who never molest them
and lrighten away the proprietors and
farmers from inspecting too closely
thir crops and stables. Rarely IS a
murderer or briganl captured. Forty
five escaped from Casenga last month,
and the rngleaders are still at large.

The Relations Between France and
the Car!ists.

A letter from Madrid, published in
the Journal des Debats, contains some
passages of strong interest at the pres
ent moment. Speaking of the proba
bly, early resumption of hostilities in
northern Spain, the writer says;
The struggle will be severe, for if the
liberal army is receiving REINFORCE
ments, the carlists, thanks to the assist
ance they openly draw from the south
ern provinces of France, become daily
more formidable. It is wearisome to
return inoessantly to the same topic,
but it is our duty to affirm the fact
that the French government, in spite
of its probable good intentions, neither
prevents nor restricts the succors sup.
piled to the carlists on our frontier, and
to which we have so often called atten-
tion. A carlist newspaper published at
Bavonne in both Spanish and French
not only propagates the most untrust-
worthy news so long as it is favorable
information on all that concerns the in
surrectional movement-the guns that
are expected, the ammunition which
has successfully passed the frontier
the horses and mules procured or ex-
pected-everything, in short, that BELTS
its profession of Carlist Moniteur. At
Bayonne, also, there are public ware
houses containing clio hes and stores OF
all kinds for the carlists. In the south,
Iiza1raga and formidable staff which
escorted him, with great quantity of
baggage, were able to promenade as
easily in our towns and ON our high
roads as if they had been the offensive
oavalcade of an Olympic circus. With
respect to Dorregary's last proclama-
tion, the general must feel it necessary
to exuse his cruelty, for he had a good
number of soldiers and officers shot
among others two German officers.
This last rigorous act is by some con
sidered an act of gratitude to France
for all the sacrifices she has imposed or
herself in favor of the carlist insurrec
tion.
