The Camel.

The camel is the beast of burden
most used to the steppeS of Central
Asia, and is sometimes hanessed 10
baggage-wagons. and also to the t0rdll-
tGSS, the Russian vehicle for the car
riage of travellers. Mr.. Schuyler had.
during his journey in TurklStan. some
experience in the employment of the
animal as a substitute for the horse,
but did not gain from the trial a very
high respect for the virtues of the
beast. He writes, with good deal of
feeling: at is no doubt very fine TO

Chasing n Hog.

Whitmarsh's neXt-door neighbor is
the owner of very fine hog, an ami
NAL of remarkably large size, a
sharp-backed, long-nosed specimen.
When Whitmarsh came home yester-
day afternoon he found this hog in his
garden, surveying with great compla-
cency the ruin of what was once a fine
garden. Some men would have killed
the hog then and there, but Whit
marsh restrained himself, and started
to drive the brute quietly out: but the
hog, instead of permitting himself to
be driven out, showed fight, and when
Whitmarsh kicked at him he seized
the foot in his mouth, which made
Whitmarsh lose his balance and fall
backward over wire flower stand.
He got little angry at this. and his
anger was increased by seeing several
of the neighbors looking at him from
their windows. Seeing hoe handle
lying on the ground. Whitmarsh
picked it up and renewed the assault.
The hog retreated to corner OF the
fence and stood at bay, and when
WtitmasSh advanced on him with the
intention of whacking him with the
stick he made rush between Whit
marsh's legs. which flew from under
him and sat him on the hogs back.
facing backward. Whitmarsh with
great presence of mind dug his heels
in the hogs sides, and, leaning for
ward. secured a good grip on the hogs

to do but to unfasten the animal, turn
him loose, and tie his legs together,
when he will begin to browse about,
poking the snow away with his nose,
and his driver will find him wheI he
comes back. Camels are much too
stupid to go home, as any other ami
NAL would; but they will continue to
walk on in the same direction their
faces are turned, without even think
ing Of master, or stable, or anything
else. They are very revengeful, and
in the spring season the males are very
often dangerous. Many instances are
known where they have bitten persons
to death, and they then have to be
carefully muZzled. There was one
comfort to be got out of them, not
outstanding: their walk was so quiet
and sauntering, that, in the morning,
when it was not too cold, we could
read with ease in the carriage, as there
was not motion enough to jolt the
book. In this way we got through
Middlemarch, some books on Cen
trail Asia, and the whole of the Koran,
to say nothing of spelling through
Tartar exercises, and trying each 9th
er, as we went along, in pronunciation
and phrases.

agile man as Whitmarsh, and tha
hog making sudden plunge, Whit
marsh doubled up over forward
somewhat after the manner in which
a toy monkey goes over the end of >
stick. Whitmarsh held on to the tail
however, and the hog dragged him
around in the yard, rolling him in the
dirt in the most reckless way, amid the
laughter of the neighbors and to the
intense delight of fourteen small bows
who, perched on the back fence. were
heartily cheering at the performance
Then the hog took to running through
bushes, some Of which had large
thorns on them, hoping to drag Whit
marsh off from his tail, squealing hor-
ribly all the time; but Whitmarsh still
held on, determined to die right there
rather than let go. Finally the
hog dashed into large nile
of decayed tomatoes, and Whit
marsh, forgetting himself for
moment, put his hands up to his face to
prevent its being smeared with the
odoriferous mass. In doing this he let
go his grip on the hogs tail, and that
animal, leaving him in the tomato heap
disappeared through a hole in the
fence with farewell squeak of tri-
umph. Whitmarsh picked himself IN
and went into the house, and when he
came out of the bathroom two bours
later he remarked, with suppressed
emotion, that he now had but one OBJ
ject in life, and that was to be the su-
preme owner and Governor of 2 small
State, and to see some enterprising
genius undertake to bring a hog into
it. He says that after disposing of
that case he could die happy.-Nesc

Strange Will of an American Lady.

Following the notable example of
Jeremy Bentham, an American lady
resident in London has, it is announced.
by formally executed document, be-
queathed her body after her decease to
to the Royal College of Surgeons to
the intent that her remains may be
dissected in the very fullest and most
exhaustive manner of which anatomi-
cal science is capable. The lady has
appointed the President of the College
for the time being the executor of her
will, and deeming as she does that it is
the duty of members of the human
family to devote their bodies after
death to scientific examination, until
the principles of physiological science
are thoroughly established, she has de-
cided that surgery may do its utmost
with her corpse, and Furthermore d.
reefs that call possible facilities shall
be given for the inspection of such
body in it's various stages of dissection
by any persons DESTROYS to inspect it,
and more particularly by persons of the
female SEX"
This singular testament goes on to
prescribe that when the lancet and the
scalpel have done their utmost, the
dissected body is to be destroyed in the
most economical and expeditions man
ner possible, with the proviso that
some remnant of the corpse, if it can
be preserved in an innoXious state"
may be preserved in the Royal College
of Surgeons, as means of identifying
the beneticent donor of a certainly very
curious legacy. The lady further gives
utterance to wish that if any of her
friends 'desire to possess remnant
of the said body they shall be at liberty
to do SO" Such is this odd testament
AIRY bequest, legally drawn up aud
signed and witnessed by the clerks of
well-known London solicitor.
The Royal College of Surgeons have,
it is understood, accepted the trust 1t
is impossible to deny the absence of
prejudice, the single-mindedness and
the public spirit which have apparent
ly dictated the adoption by a lady of
responsibility of SO very unusual
course; but it is necessary to point
out first that such an example will
not, in all likelihood, find many imi-
tators and next, that the hospital
schools of London can already procure
suificiency of dead bodies to demon
strate with thoroughness the princi-
pies of physiological science. Were
this benevolent lady a dwarf or
siantess, or endowed with two heads,
physiology might benefit by the be-
quest of her body. Asst is, there will
be, at, we hope, far distant period,
only one corpse the more on the DIS
secting-room table.
Touching the remnant question,
that must be held a matter of taste
We all remember the gentleman in the
"Tattler" who disinherited his son TOR
having spoken disrespectfully OF ms
sister, whom he, the testator, had
long kept preserved in spirits. There
are people who are fond of the rem
nants' of their departed friends, ana
others who entertain a profound dls-
like to keeping such mementoes near
them. London Telegraph.

A Mailman at Large.
A singular scene was witnessed in
Little Guildford street, Southwark, on
Saturday. 1t appears that on Wednes-
day man returned to his home in that
street from lunatic asylum, where he
had been confined for long time.
Nothing very particular occurred until
Saturday, when he attracted the atten-
ton of large crowd by marching rap
idly up and down the street in front of
the house, No. II Little Guildford
street, saying he would bet any one
100 to |, or 1000 to /, and using other
meaningless expressions. After this
he went into the house and, arming
himself with handspike, commenced
hacking down the windows of the sec
ond-tioor room, overlooking the street.
4 large crowd had by this time assem-
bled, among them being three police
officers, but none of them interfered.
The next proceeding of the Infatuated
man was to throw the window down
into the street, fortunately without
injuring any one. These were speedi-
ly followed by chairs, table and earth
enware, all broken into pieces. Then
came the bed and bedding and several
other articles. He threw kettle Of
hot water out of the window, and then
the tire-stove, which he wrenched out
of its place and broke into atoms.
Then, with the handspike, the man
broke away a lot of the brickwork and
the wood of the room, all being thrown
on to the heap Of debris below. The
bystanders demonstrated with the po-
lice as to the ACCESSIBILITY of taking the
man into custody, but they-tive in
number by this time-declared them
selves unable to touch the man, or to
| enter the house, as they had no
warrant. To the horror of the
crowd, the man then got out
of the window and sat upon
the ledge, dangling his legs in the air.
About an hour and a half had now
elapsed since the man commenced this
strange behavior, which seemed plainly
to show loss of reason. Having sat
on the window-sill for some minutes,
he rushed from the room into the
street. Then there was scene of
almost Undesirable confusion, for
though several persons tried to hold
him, it was impossible, as he had no
clothes on. One man, however, OBJ
tanned a rope. and the poor mailman
was apparently captured Being a
powerful man, he managed to escape,
and ran from Guildford street to the
Mint, followed by the mob and the
police. Eventually he was stopped and
surrounded. Just at the door of the st.
Georges Workhouse, into which he
was thrust. Here he became more
violent, and kicked at those who sur
rounded him. AT length he was
| bound. and DR.. Smith, of Newington
/ Caltseway, was called in to examine
4 him. That gentleman pronounced him
! to be raving mad, and ordered his im-
mediate removal to a place of safety.
| The mans wife eventually made her
| appearance, and stated that her huS
| band. who had been soldier. was
named Jones, and had received a sun
stroke. which had ended in a fit of
madness. He had been in an asylum,
and only on Wednesday last came
home for month, apparently recov-
cred. She did not know of anything
to cause the sudden outbreak. Short

The Republican Financial Dodge.

The financial plank of the Republican
platform is made of rather soft mate inls
and is so thin that a keen eye can see
straight through ii.
The resolution declares that the pledge
gwen by Congress seven years ago, TO max o
provision at the earliest practicable PERIOD
for the redemption Of the United States
notes In coin, ought to be fulfilled by a con-
tinuous and steady progress toward specie
payment; yet rybody knows that Con-
grcss has taken no practical steps for the
fulhlment OF this pledge. II has passed
an act fixing the day Of resumption at
Jan. |, 1879, but has not devised the ma
ohinerv absolutely necessary to accom-
plish that object.
When the bill was before the Senate, Mr..
THURMAN, Mr. ScHuRz and Others de-
n0unced it mere deusion intended to
aid the Republicans in tidinR over the ex-
igencies OF the Presidential campaign
and the Cincinnati resolution does not help
the matter at all. When the time named

erument has to do ia to neglect to pay its

WHY Gov. HAYES is Likely TO be Nominated
Tor Pre- sident.

Fro'n The Sun, AdVe. 1870.
All the signs continue to point to the
nomination of Gov Ioyes Of Ohio as the Repub-
hc.n candidate for President
Mr.. HAYES became known throughout the
country by his success in defeating Gov. Allen
In tho state election Ia Ohio last year. Previous
to that time, but little had been heard OF him
outside Of the State; but that event at once
made him conspicuous and marked his name
upon the list Of candidates for President.
Greatly To his advantage, however, It did not
render him SO prominent as to excite those an-
tagonsms and aumoslties which necessarily
rise up against the foremost men on the stage
OF public life, such men, for instance, as Mr..
Conkling. hr. Morton Mr.. Blaine, and Mr.. Bris-
tow Either OF these gentlemen is more widely
known than Gov. Hayes, and far more warmly
supported by circle OF devoted friends
and followers but each If them has ar
rayed against him the eager and relentless
opposition Of al the others Mr.. Conkling nj
MIR. Blaine. for instance, have not been on speak
ins terms for eight years. Mr.. Conkling aud Mr..
Morton detest each other, not merely because
they are rivals In ambition, but because there Ia
natural incompauOllity In their qualities OF
character. MIR. BTlatow, they all look upon
an intruder, disturbeI of the peace, a
destructive censor upon the conduct and
history of the Republican party for tho
last eight years, and consequently upon their
own conduct and history Mr. Blaine alone
4mong the older aspirants has any sort Of toll
erance for llristow while Morton and Conkling
are just as strenuously opposed to the Ken
tuckian AS they are to each other. In fact, they
are more bitter against him than they are
against each other; and they will ooalesco TO
beat him, II for nothing else
In these facts the stren-th OF Aayes becomes
manifest. E,ch Of the more celebrated nspi-
rams, and their friends with them, would rather
have him than either Of their immediate rivals.

Lincoln was nominated In 1860. or Pierce In 1859,

man who ID always taken when the powerful

Though he stands IN this neutral ana second

pendent; he served with credit as a soldier In
the war, and his record rs Governor Of ONO is

Then fancy the interminable legislation,
year after year. to reorganize and "re-
duce" this corps until It's proportions
should equal those Of the present Quarter
masters Department.
Thoughtful men who have observed the
effects OF special and class legislation, and
who make shrewd Ruesses at the processes
by which 1t is effected at Washington by
the men or Glasses most to be benefited
thereby, may well pause to reflect before
introducing another vicious, because pure
ly selfish, element into the executive
branch Of our Government.
But are we to have no torpcdoes and no
torpedo system-no skilled men to operate
the one and perfect the other? The an
swer is, that corps exists already, only
under another name. There are in the
service of the Government five regiments
OF artillery, aggregatiug $500 men. These
men, with the exception of five small COM
panics equipped MS light artillery, are all
armed rs infantry, ana are mainly EN-
ployed In garrlsoning the sea coast FORTH
cations, whore they are being educated IA
artllerists to work the heavy ordnance
that commands the neighborug channels.
The Notifications so garrisoned are the
points ut which torpedoes should he stored,
from which they must necessarily be most
generally operated in time of war, and
which will be, ne matter OF course, COM
manded and fought by artillery officers.
Why, then, is not this whole torpedo
business turned over to the artillery Here
are the officers, the men, and organizations
all prepared. 1t will require but five lines
OF an order from the Secretary OF War.
OF course, such n common sense, practical,
and economical measure will meet with
strenuous opposition from the friends OF
those who hope for appointments or pro-
motions in the proposed corps; but the
new Secretary could not perform more
sensible aot,in entering upon the discharge
of his duties, than to disregard the solicita-
tons OF these interested asplrants and set
the artillery at work Immediately in learn
ing the working OF the torpedo, which is
now recognized ms the chief reliance in our
system of sea coast defence.
