Nevada Camels.

Upon a ranch in Nevada, on the Car
son river, there is herd of twenty-six
camels, all but two of which were bred
and raised in Nevada. Some years ago
nine or ten camels were imported into
that State, but of these only two lived
to become acclimated, and from this
pair have been raised the twenty-four.
The men who now have them are French
men, who had formerly some expert
ence with camels in Europe. They find
no difficulty in rearing them, and can
now show twenty-four fine healthy ami
mails, all of Washoe growth. The camel
may now be said to be thoroughly ac-
climated in that State. The owners of
the herd find it no more difficult to
breed and rear them than would be ex-
perienced with the same number of
goats and donkeys. The ranch upon
which they are kept is sandy and sterile
in the extreme, yet the animals feast
and grow fat on such prickly shrubs
and bitter weeds as no other animal
could touch. When left to themselves
their great delight, after filling them
selves with the coarse heritage of the
desert, is to lie and roll in the hot sand.
They are used in packing salt to the
mills on the river from the marshes
lying in the desert some sixty miles
eastward. They have animals that
easily pack ZOO pounds.

4 Move in the Right Direction.

During the summer months a very
large proportion of Protestant ministers
in cities leave their congregations and
take vacation. Some follow Mr.. Gree
ley's advice and ego West" while a
larger number travel northward, or go
to the seashore. The courts ordinarily
adjourn for month or more during the
summer, and Judges and lawyers go to
take rest. The majority of business
men of means do likewise. The class
most needing q vacation, the working
men and women, seldom are able to en-
Joy this luxury. Mr.. o. G. Gibbs, the
practical superintendent of the Chicago
Athen&um, proposes raising q fund to
enable respectable and Woodworking
single women to enjoy vacation during
that season of the year, when an absence
from the city is most desirable, and
when there is the least employment.
He has ascertained that comfortable
board may be obtained in country vii
lagos or on farms at from Sd to 81 per
week, and thinks that so will be suf-
ficient for each individual. Should a
fund be raised for this excellent pur-
pose, and should railroads grant a re-
duction of fare, we believe many farmers
would be glad to help the cause by fur
nishing board at very low rates These
city sewing women would do good work
picking berries, making iellies, and
generally helping about the house,

Love i'm Carolina.

A North Carolina exchange reports
that frightful revenge was taken by a
rejected lover in it's locality ONE night
recently. The youth, whose name is
James Goforth, had been counting Miss
Susan Pointdexter, and as she fatty re-
jected his offer, he grew frantic, and
run up and caught her ear in his teeth.
Her shrieks soon brought all the family
to her assistance, but the girls father
had to insert the pot.hooks between
Goforth's teeth, and make the old
woman hit him in the head with the
door-pin before he could be made to
loose his hold. The ear was so mutt
lated that DIR. Baker, who was called
in, had to cut it off, and he now has it
preserved in alcohol, where the curious
may call and inspect for themselves.
The same veracious journal says that
youth of seventeen summers wooed
and won lassie of thirteen years in
Cleveland county, but her parents OPP
posed the match. An elopement was
agreed upon for Thursday, but the
young lady was struck by lightning on
Wednesday evening, and the marriage
was postponed until the following Sun.

the ex-Chief Justice of the State, and
occupied high social position but he
was Yankee and a Radical, and that
was enough to make sure of his murder
and the justification of the murderer.
One Aldridge, who, it is said, was
obliged to flee from Mississippi to
avoid punishment for a murder commit
ted there, and who was a leading spirit
in the Ku-Klux deviltries in this State,
in 1868, took great umbrage at Fox's
appointment as Judge. He studiously
endeavored to insult and degrade Fox
i'll open court for months before the
tragedy occurred. Finally, at the
Crittenden county session, Aldridge
had case before the court. In his
speech to the jury he advised them to
pay no attention to the Judges charges,
as the Judge was his enemy and would
not act fairly toward his client. After
the jury retired he sent notes to the
foreman urging the same thing. The
foreman very properly sent the notes to
the Judge. When the court assembled
next morning Judge Fox read these
notes to the bar, and Immediately tined
Atdridge for contempt. Aldridge left
at once and returned to his home in
Forest City, which was also the resi-
dence of Judge Fox. The the term of
court ended the following week, and
Judge Fox returned home. The next
morning after his arrival he went to the
Postoffice for his mail. returning along
the sidewalk on the principal street in
the town, he was confronted by Aid
ridge, who had hid himself in drugstore
awaiti-g the Judges return. Without
a word, without giving Fox an oppor-
tunity to defend himself or moments
warning, this cowardly assassin thrust
a double barreled shotgun within q
foot of Fox's body, and, in the presence
of half the town, shot him dead.
Well, he was arrested. Baxter APP
pointed a Democrat in Foxs place, and
Aldridge was turned out on slight bail,
and was candidate for Bakers Con-
stitutional Convention, now in session,
and no one believes that he will ever be
tried, or, if tried, will be convicted.

Custer's Expedition.
[st. Fam Cor. Chieago Tribune


Gen. Clusters official report closed at
1920 n. IN. on the 3D. inst, the COM
mand being then camped on the south
fork of the Cheyenne, midway between
Hot and Horse Head creeks, about to
resume its march again toward Har-
neys Peak, but by another route than
any the command had yet traversed.
1t was not anticipated that the expedi-
ton would reach Fort Lincoln on its
home march before the 3lst inst. The
Black Hills country is described as
most beautiful, richly productive of Il
large variety of vegetation, and admira-
bly, adapted toagriculture. The valleys,
bordered by hills covered with a variety
of useful timber, are clear and ready
for the pillow, streams of pure cold
water flow down them, and Judging by
the vegetation, there is an abundant
rainfall throughout the whole region.
The halts have been brief; but the
scientists accompanying the expedition
have been enabled to satisfy themselves
of the presence of gold, silver, and lead
in paying quantities. What they call
gold-bearing quartz crops out from
every hill, and the "placer," or valley
diggings, SO far as tested, promise well.
An instance of frequent occurrence is
mentioned where forty or fifty pieces of
gold averaging the size of a pin-head.
were washed from one pan of dirt. But
full details of the mineral discoveries
are reserved for the final report, when
will be given the accompanying docu-
ments prepared by the scientific gentle
men accompanying the expedition.
