A CAMEL STORY.

That some animals are very mind
full of an injury and eager for revenge,
no matter how long delayed, there is
ample proof All our young readers
remember the story of the elephant
who took the tailor's slight to heart
and gave that gentleman thorough
drcnching and you may also remem-
ber numberless stories of how the
same unwieldy beasts remembered in
juries for years and waited for a
chance to vent their spite But one Of
the most remarkable cases on record
is this one, which we cull from the
columns of literary journal
"A year or two ago il chanced that
u valuable camel, working in the oil
mill, was severely beaten by its driv-
er, who, perceiving that the camel had
treasured up the injury, and was only
waiting a favorable opportunity for re-
vengc, kept a strict watch on the ami
NAL. Time passed on. The camel
perceiving that it was watched, was
quiet and obedient, and the driver
began TO think that the beating was
forgotten, when one night after the
lapse OF several months, the men, who
slept on the platform near the
mill, whilst, as is customary, the camel
was stalled in corner, happening 20
remain awake, observed by the moon
light, that all was quiet, the animal
looked cautiously around, rose softly,
and stealing towards spot where a
bundle of clothes and a bernouse,
thrown carelessly on the ground, re-
sembled sleeping figure, cast itself
violently upon them, rolling with all
its weight, and tearing them most vi
ciously with its teeth. Satisfied that
its vengeance was complete, the camel
was returning to its corner, when the
driver sat up and spoke. At the sound
of his voice, and perceiving the mis-
take he had made, the animal was so
mortified at the failure and discovery
of his scheme, that it dashed its head
against the wall, and died on the spot.
Such is the story as related by the
dragoman."

A PERILOUs POSITION

I .
Sam Jones, brother Of Senator ]. p
Jones, and Superintendent ofthe Crow
Point mine, in company with George
Williams, station-tender and Mr.
Chase, underground foreman, had 3
marrow escape from death while ascend
ing the main shaft Of the Savage mine
The Nevada Enterprise says Tn,
three men got on the cage at the 1900
level, which is ut the bottom of the per
pendicular shaft They had with then
some specimens of rock, which they
laid upon the cage, and lanterns, which
they carried in their hands. They
placed themselves ON the cage, anc
taking hold of the bell-rope, struck
three bells, which, being interpreted
means ''hoist with men" Obedicnt tc
the signal struck on his bell above, the
engineer began hosting the cage Al
wont well until the cage had ascended
Iai,out 400 feet. when n suddenly Jump
cd out Of the guides and was loose il
the shaft. II was dashed from side Il
side with sneh violence, that the Ian
terms were knocked out Of the hands Of
the men, their specimens of ore were
thrown from the cage, and they must
all have been shaken off, but for the
peculiar construction of the cage, which
has cross-bars at each end which may
be gasped. Up they went, banging
from side TO side, Mr. Chase trying oil
the while to seize the bell,rope and
strike the signal for stopping the cage,
This rope is in a corner Of the shaft
but when Mr. Chase did occasionally
get hold of 10, he ewas unable to make
the signal, owing to the rapid and ir-
regular manner in which they. were as
Icending Thus they were dragged up
the shaft for d distance Of over 800
feet, expecting every moment that the
cage would catch on some projection in
the shaft, the cable be broken, and the
cage and themselves precipitated to the
bottom of the shaft, which would have
been instant death. At
Finding they could not signal the
suriace BY means of the bell-rope, they
began yelling, stop, the cage stop
the cage r in the vain hope that they
might be heard above. Sam says he
ayelled like horse-thiefn All their
yelling was of no avail, however as not
a whisper was heard on the surface.
The banging about OF the cage caused
the heavy iron cable to be swayed VIC
lently, and this was at last observed by
the carman at the surface, who called
the attention of the engineer to it, and
had him stop hosting, it being apparent
that something was wrong. BY means
Of the ladders, man from the surface
then climbed down the shaft, and, as
certaining the situation Of the men on
the edge, returned and had cage sent
down another compartment to their re-
lief The three men We're kept sus-
pended on the cable for over an hour
before they finally got out of Their
perilous position. Even after the cage
had stopped they were not safe They
feared every moment that some of the
men at the bottom of the shaft would
ring the bell and start them either up
or down the shaft. TO prevent this
one of the men got hold of the bell
rope, and winding it two or three times
round his hand thus held it till the re
lief cage reached them. When they
reached the surface, it is said that al
three of the men looked like the last

WHAT TO DO WITH ALASKA. There
seeems to be a prospect that Alaska
will be more useful for something be-
sides furns and fish. 1t is now well
settled that the Icelanders wish to
leave their island. and Alaska is the
very place they like. They suggest
as advantages TO arise from the estab-
lishment of an Icelandic colony there
|. That Alaska is too far north and
too cold TO attract any but their coun-
trymen; and that the territory will be
left entirely to the savages, unless
they themselves settle in II. 2. That
II the representations of Dali (who is
the latest authority on tho subject
are correct they will be able to raise
vast numbers of cattle and horses
there, of the hardy Icelandic stock,
and can supply the Pacific States with
beef butter and cheese. 3. They
would manage the fisheries Of Alaska,
which are said to be wonderfully fine.
4. They would utilize the forests and
supply timber for the Pacific States,
besides building ships themselves. ..
They would supply seamen for the ma
val and merchant marine of the Pa
cifc @. That by their Immediately cs-
tablishing colony there, they would
form nucleus which would attract oil
future Icelandic emigration whereas
if this is not done, the nucleus will
probably be formed in Canada.
The Icolanders are described AS an
honest, manly, hardworking, and well
educated people They are also pro
life; and might, at no very distant fu-
turc time, cover the whole remote
northwestern portion Of this continent,
where perhaps no other people will
desire TO settle In chronological and
politlco-scicntifc points Of view, the
I proposed colonization Il interesting.
