BREEDING CAMELs IN NEVADA.

On a ranch on the Carson River. eight
miles below the mouth of SiN-mile Canon,
is to he 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. Ii would seen that the origi-
nal lot fell into the hands of MeXicans, who
treated them very badly, overlooking aud
abusing them. The men who now
have them are Frenchmen, who had
formerly some experience with camels
in Europe. They find no difficulty in
rearing them, and can now show twenty
four fine healthy animals, all of WashOe
growth. The camel may now be said TO be
thoroughly acclimated in the 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
or dOnkeys. The ranch upon which they
are kept is sandy and sterile in the eX-
IRENE; vet the animals feast and grow fat
on such priczly shrubs and bitter weeds as
no other animals would touch. When left
to themselves their great delight, after fill
ing themselves with the coarse heritage Of
the desert, is to lie and roll in the hot
sand. They arc 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 that easily
pack eleven hundred pounds.

CLOSE YOTR STORES,

No class Of men in Nashville have
more at stake in to-day's election than
the merchants. They all understand
how their business can be jeOpardized
by the ineficiency-tO say nothing
yrorse-of public officers. Let them,
therefore, consult their own interests
as well as do their duty to-day
by putting in good work for
the White Mans ticket. This work
can be done most effectively by
closing their stores and affordng their
employees an opportunity to 20 to the
polls-not simuIy to vote. but to use
their influence fo~ the ticket from the
time the first ballot is cast until I P. NJ.
Every Nashville merchant, whatever
his line of trade, receives nearly all hls
patronage from white men, and he can
surely afford TO give one day for his own
benefit and the benefit of those who
patroniZe him.

LOOK OUT FOR IMPORTED CON
TRARANDS.

There are a great many imported ne
2roes IN the city to-day. Most of them
come from adjoining counties, where
the Civil Rights ticket has no chance;
others come from Kentucky. These
colored carpet-baggers should be spot
ted. 1t may not be easy to locate ne
groes on account Of their nomadic
habits, and the ease with which they
swear for each other; yet a great deal
can be done, 10y organized effort,
towards preventing illegal voting. In
each ward a committee can be formed
who know pretty much every negro and
negro cabin in the precinct. By de-
manding their residence, most Of these
interlopers can thus be detected. 1t
will be well for the challengers at coun-
try precincts. also, to keep watch on
these black birds of passage. Bafiied

may cart them out to pass them off on

The people Of Davidson county are
determined that the election to-day

taken in charge at once and made to
suffer the severest penalty of the law.
