Observation-Disclosures Camels.

The Virginia City, New, Enter
prise, says GA train of eight camels
left the city early yesterday morning,
loaded with wood for the summit OF
Mount Davidson. Each animal carried
about one-third of a cord of wood. The
train reached the summit and approached
to within about $50 yards OF the flag
staff without much difficulty. They
could not be taken nearer, as near the
peak all is bare granite, twisted In all
directions and cut up by deep channels
or crevices. Across this patch OF rocks
the wood for the bonfire must be carried
on the shoulders of men. A herd OF
eight camels standing on the summit of
Mount Davidson, nearly 5000 feet
above the level of the sea, was a novel
sight, and should have been photo
graphed. The train will make another
trip to the summit of the mountain early
this morning, carrying the remainder OF
the wood required for the big bonfire.
Although it is the general supposition
that camels cannot travel when taken off
the sands of the deserts, these nearly
all of which were Nevada born-seem to
be pretty good mountain climbers"

The Late Gen. Custer and His Family.

The fate of Gen. Custer is sadly
felt here, where his brother, Brice W.,
has lived for many years. Boston, aged
25, Forage-master, and Thomas, q
Lieutenant, aged 81, are the broth
ers killed. The brother-in-law killed
was a Captain, and is the husband
of General Clusters only sister, who,
with Mrs. Custer, is with the expedition.
Mrs. Custer was the only child of Judge
Bacon of Monroe City, Mich, where
the parents of Gen. Custer also re-
side. His parents are old and feeble,
both being upward of 20. His moth
or and all the family were devotedly
attached to the General, and his awful
death will doubtless kill his mother.
As a son he honored his father and moth
er to the full letter and spirit of the law
given on Mount Sinai. But, alas his
days were not us long i'll the land as
nation hoped they would be. He had
no children. His brother-in-law had no
children. Mrs. Custer never would
leave her husband. She had travelled
300 miles with him on pony, slept
with him in ambulances and in tents.
to be near him. When duty called
him to battle her distress was next to
the bottomless depths of anxiety till he
returned. Cincinnati Times. ~

Mrs. ArnOld,S Rig.

Mrs Eliza M. Arnold, OF Houston,
Texas, has invented and patented an I'M
provement in rigging ladies of any size,
which greatly simplifies the task of set
ting or furling an umbrella. The new
invention is called an umbrella sup
porter" and next to the device of double
topsail yards it is probably the most i'm
portant improvement in rigging which
has been made during the last half CEN
tury. Mrs. Arnold's description of the
umbrella supporter is extremely interest
ing. Two curved rods, made 90 fit upon
what the inventor calls "the forward
side " Of woman or girl, of any age, are
fastened ut the lower ends to the belt of
the wearer, and, passing over her shout
ders, unite behind the neck to form n
socket into which the foot of an umbrel-
la is stepped. The socket resembles, in
appearance, the truss of ships main
yard, with the important exception that
it is made of steel twisted into spiral
springs, so that free lateral motion NAV
be given to the umbrella. The rods are
furnished with back-stays leading to the
arms, and to what Mrs. Arnold would
probably call the backward side" of
the wearer, and when these are set up
taut there is no danger that the rods will
be carried away by sudden squat. The
umbrella is, of course, furnished with
halyards and brails, so that it can be
easily set or taken in, and it is trimmed
to suit the direction of the wind or of the
suns rays by means of braces. 1t is
claimed that the umbrella can be handled

The Removal OF Mr.. Jewell.

l Washington Cor New York HERALD
III you ask the Presidents friends why
the sudden change, they tell you it is to
strengthen the party in Indiana, where
Mr.. Tyner is an influential politician.
II you ask Mr.. JEWELS friends they tell
you that he has probably resisted the
President in some appointments he
wished made for political purposes in
the Postoffice Department.
1t has been known to few of the
Presidents friends for two or three
weeks that he intended to remove Mr..
jewell, but in the end he seems to have
acted on a sudden impulse, for the
change was surprise to those who sup
posed they knew what was to happen.
There is story that the last disagree
ment between the Postoffice Depart
ment and the White House concerned
the dismissal of one Morton, a special
agent in the South, who was appointed
by the President two or three months
ago, and who proved, to Mr.. JEWELS
disgust, to be an ardent Conkling
worker in the Southern conventions.
The gossips say that Senator Morton
complained bitterly of his namesake'
conduct in the service of Mr.. Conkling
and that Mr.. Jewell, at the time, wished
to recall him, but the President would
not let him. On the 1st of July, how.
ever, Morton was dropped by Mr.. Jew
ellis orders, and now, say the gossips,
the President drops Mr.. Jewell.
Mr.. Jewell was before the House Com.
mittee on Postoffices and Post Roads
to-day, and testified in relation to vari-
GUS matters which have been brought
out by witnesses before the committee
during the session. He was asked if any
member of the Cabinet had asked him OF
talked with him in relation to the resig-
nation of certain clerks who were asked
to resign. He replied if any one of the
Cabinet had asked him questions about
the removal of certain clerks he should
refuse to tell the committee, and he re-
fused to tell why he removed certain
clerks, beyond general reasons that were
entirely satisfactory to himself, why they
should be removed.
Near the cloce of Postmaster General
JEWELS examination he was asked:
Was your resignation forced or volun
tary2 A. Well, the President notified
me that my resignation would be ac
cepted, and rendered it.
@. Were there any charges preferred
against youl A. No sir, not that l an
aware of.

which they threw by hand. Capt. Ben
ton saw large mass of Indians gather
ing on his front to charge, and ordered
his mon to charge on foot and scatter
them. Benton led the charge, and was
upon the Indians before they knew what

L think in desperate fighting Benton is
one of the bravest men I ever saw in a

He went among the horses and pack
mules and drove the men out who were
skulkiDg there, compelling them to go
into the line and do their duty. He

charging and fighting was at about

sides until late in the afternoon.

in the forenoon, and soon after Benton
made his charge, the men began to
clamor for water. Many of them had
not tasted water for thirty-six hours,
and the fighting and hot sun parched
their throats. Some had their tongues
swollen, and others could hardly speak.
The men tried to eat crackers and hard
tack, but could not raise enough saliva
to moisten them. Several tried grass,

could spit or speak plainly. The
wounded were reported dying for want
