It's MIGHTY lMpRoviN'.-The Irish pea
santry have tales Of parabolic character
stories which, by means of some striking
action or circumstance, set forth hearty
molal. On hearing such, their usual phrase
is, ON, IL is mighty improrin'."
And that, too, is what Molly Malone,
worthy washerwoman used TO say--and say
almost Invariably after hearing a sermon on
Sunday. One day, however, her clergyman,
who was not quite content with this gene
rality, spoke to her respecting his discourse,
and Molly suddenly became What they. call
in ireland little bothered. Nevertheless,
she got out of her difficulty with one Of those
parabolic answers which are such favorites
with her class. and which, while it COM
pletely cvnded the question, satisfactorily re-
piled to il.
Rev. Well, Molly, you liked the sermon,
you say?
Mol. Oh, yes, your riyerence-it was
mighty improvln'.
Rev. And what part of 1t did you like
best?
Mol. Well. sure, sir. liked every part.
Rev. But suppose there were some por.
tions Of it that you were more struck with
than you We're with others?
Mol. 10 trolh, please your reverence, l
don't remember any part exactly, but alto
gelher twas mighty improvin'.
Rev. Now, Molly, how could it be i'm
proving if you don't remember any part OF
it!
Mol. Well, your reverence sees that linen
Pve been washing and dhrying on the hedge
there?
Rev. Oh, certainly.
Mol. Wasn't it the soap and wather made
the linen clane, sir :!
Rev. Of course they did.
Mol. And isn't the linen all the better for
it:
Rev. Oh, no doubt of that, Molly.
Mol. But not a dhrop of the soap aud wa

HERDS OF CAMELS IN NEVADA.

On u ranch on the Carson River, eight miles
below the mouth of Six-mile Canon, to be seen
aherd Of twenty six camelsall but two of which
were born and raised in Nevada. But two Of
the old herd of nine or ten brought here some
years ago are now living. 1t woulds seem that
the original lot fell into the hands ofMcxicans
who treated them very badly, overlooking and
abusing them. The men who have them are
Frcnchmcn, who had formerly some experience
with camela in Europe. They find no difficult
ty in rearing them. and can now show twenty
four fine healthy animals,all ofWashoe growth
The camel may now be said to be thoroughly
acclimated i'll the State. Tho owners of the
he rd find il no more difficult to breed and
rear them than would be experienced with the
same numbers Of goats or donkeys. The ranch
upon which they are kept is sandy and sterile
IN IN the extreme, yet the animals feast and grow
no other animals would touch. When left TO
themsellyes their great delight. after filling
Themselves with the coarse herbage of the de-
acrt, 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 deserts
some sixty miles to the Eastward. They have
animals tnat easily pack LOO pounds.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
This time the Republican State Committee
have issued an address, abouuding in The cheap
cant and rhetorical promises which have hitherto
been followed by bankruptcy, disgrace and ruin.
Tho chairman Of that committee is Robert B.
Elliott, black carpet-bagger born in Boston,
who for the last six years has been figuring in
the politics of South Caroline, where he sqaatted
down after the war and has been fattening upon
the spoils ever since. lie Ia an educated negro,
with the vices of the white carpet Dagger, and
the craft OF his own race sharpened by a quick
intelligence that makes him more dangerous. It
is well known that he has largely shared in the
spoilation of the State under the various changes
which have taken place, and is as corrupt as the
worst OF the crow. His superiority over the mass
OF the black population has given him position
and influence which he has utilized in making
himself q member Of Congress, In exacting terms
from the robbers who are called the State author
ilies at Columbia, and IN directing tho politics
by which he has livod and profited as O regular
calling.
To suppose that Elliott and his associates of
both coIors, who form the Ring by which South
Carolina has been driven into bondage and bar
barism, outraged, gagged and robbed, mean 10
release their hold except by compulsion of the
strongest kind, or to give up the teats upon
which they have so beautifully fed while there Is
drop of milk Lett to suck, would be to believe
that the millennium had Mt last come in visible
form. Newspapers that attach any valuo to the
address recently published by this crowd Of
sharpers must Indeed be verdant.
Ii the President had lifted his finger in
good earnest,or signified In any decisive way
that these Outrages must cease and should
not be tolerated. they would have ended four
years ago. TOh him and to his Administration
belong the chief responsibility for their con-
tinuance. Ile encouraged the most notorious
plunderers by favor and patronage of every
kind, until they became the power around
which the State revolyed, and tho agency by
which he obtained six electoral votes. But
for him and the military force by which he
interposed to shield the Oppressors, the people
would long ago have trOwn Off this atrOciOus
despotism. Moses was made the represen-
tative man of Grantism two years ago, and he
Is consistent in representing the same prip-
ciples to-day, and therefore will probably be
re-elected.-M Y. San.

Trader was met to-day, at D. X. Landing, by a

1t is reported from over the river that a fight
occurred at Austin this morning, and the negroes
were repulsed. They have sent messenger to

get all The recruits possible II is also stated that
