Since my last have met with a sad accident
Which has somewhat delayed me in writing;

There are some here who say that drank too much

" ShiDS of the Desert.o

Several years ago says the San Fran
cisco CAL, an idea possessed certain per-
sons that camels and drOmedaries could
be introduced into desert places for the
transportation of goods, and quite num-
Der of these animals were imported by
the Government from abroad. They
were placed on farms and multiplied
rapidly, but, for several reasons, could
not be utilized to any profitable extent,
and became elephants" on the hands OF
their owners. There was n general pro-
test against permitting them to enter
towns or to travel on any of the frequent
ed roads, where their presence frightened
horses, caused frequent runaways and
endangered the lives of individuals. This
was one serious objection against them.
1t was found, also, that the pebbles III
the soil of those regions where 1t was
proposed to use them made them foot
sore, and they soon disappeared from
view. twas not supposed that any con-
siderable number of these patient brutes
remained in the State; but the San Ber-
nardino Times relates that a drove OF
forty-two dromedaries visited that town
q few days ago, en- route for Arizona.
They are intended for transporting ma
chinery and provisions to the mines of
that Territory. The enterprise is con-
Quoted by Frenchmen, who believe that
they can make a success of it, and, If they
do, it will be great thing for the dwell
ers in those isolated districts into which
they design penetrating.

Remarkable Preservation.

A remarkable instance of the preser-
walton of dead body is mentioned in
the Richmond Dispatch. A Mr.. Dues
berry died in March, 1857, and the body
was buried in metallic coffin. Recent
ly it was removed to another cemetery.
The wooden box was decayed, and the
coffin was found submerged in water A
thick coating of rust covered the case,
and when the heavy metallic plate was
removed from the upper part, and the
body exposed through the glass, it was
found to be in a state of perfect preser
walton. The clothing, also, was just as
when the burial took place, and even the
flowers around the dead mans face
looked fresh.

4 Romantic Career.

Miss Cora Dickson young girl of %,
arrived in Paris the other day from South
America. Her life has thus far been a
checkered one. At the age of ID, tired
of the monotony OF home, she ran away
from her fathers house with large rum
OF money. She cut her hair short and
donned a boys garb. After becoming
III succession cabin-boy, clerk, and a
householder, she turned up in Buenos
Ayres, where she entered the army, still
disguised. She distinguished herself in
the service, and became Colonel. Some
months ago, at meeting of officers, she
quarreled with one of those present A
duel followed, and she killed her adver-
sary. On examining the dead mans pa
pers, she found that she had killed her
Oldest brother, who had left home when
she was years of age. Horror stricken,
she threw herself az the Bishops feet,
who promised to interoede with her
father.

Forgot Her Baby.

The ancient question, "Can a woman
forget her child ?" was answered in the
affirmative at Lansingburgh, n. Y, the
other day. A lady entered store with
a lovely babe and her arms full of pack
ages, and deposited the former on the
floor and the latter on the counter to
await the coming of a street car. 1t
came like thief m the night, where
upon she hastily seized her bundles,
dashed for the door, entered the car, and
had gone half block before she finished
counting her "big box, little box, band
box and bundle" and discovered that
she had left her baby behind. There
was hasty exit and return to the store
for the lost treasure.

TO THE COMING FLOWERS.

Awake, dear sleepers, from your wintry tombs
The sun has turned the point of Capricorn,
And gins 10 pluck from winters wings the plumes
OF darkness, and to wind his silver horn
For your return. Come 10 your homes, forlorn
In absence Of your odors and your faces,
Like Rachel weeps for you the reaved morn,
As often as she views your empty places,
Erewhile the daily scene of her and your embraces
Come, pensile snowdrop, like the earliest star
That wrinkles on the brow of dusky night;
Come like the child that peeps from door ajar,
With pallid cheek, upon wasteful sight;
And shouldst thou rise when all around II Wnlts
The more thoult demonstrate the power of God
To shield the weak against the arms OF might,
To strengthen feeble shoulders for their load,
forebode.
Come crocus cup. the cup where early bees
Sip the first nectar Of the liberal year,
Come and illume our green, as SMILES
Light up the poets song. And o We dear
March yiolets, come near, come breathing near
You too fair primroses, in darksome woods
Shine forth, like heavens consultations clear;
And come, We daisies, throng in multitudes,
And whten hills and meadows with your sanity
hoods.
Come with thy lilies. May; thy roses, June;
Come with your richer hues, autumnal hours;
o tell your meowing sun, your regal moon,
Your dewy drops, your soft refreshing showers,
To lift their blessing hands in Flora's bowers,
Nor cen to scorn the bindweed's nossy gold,
Nor foxgloves banner hung with purple flowers,
Nor solitary heath that cheers the void,
Nor the last daisy shivering in Novembers cold!

Letter from Gen. Grant.

Gen. Grant has written letter in ref
erence to statement that Gen. Lee, at
the time of his surrender, wore splen-
did sword, and that Grant waived the
surrender of the sword of his vanquished
foe, and, hastily penciling the terms he
demanded, passed the memorandum to
Lee, who became visibly affected with
emotion on perceiving the generosity
with which an the officers of his com.
mand were to be treated by their con
queror. The truth of this statement
having been denied, Gen. Grant thus

Blaine's Position.

Senator Blaine, in a telegram to the
Boston Herald, says:
Il am sure Gov. Chamberlain knows
that he has the profoundest sympathy
in the heroic though unsuccessful strug-
gle he has made in South Carolina for
civil liberty and constitutional govern
ment. am equally sure Gov. Packard
feels that my heart and judgment are
both with him III the contest he is still
waging against great odds for the Gov
ernorship that ne holds by a title as
valid as that which justly and lawfully
seated Rutherford b. Hayes in the
Presidential chair. / trust also that
both Governors know that the Boston
press no more represents the stalwart
Republican feeling in New England on
the pending issues than the same press
did when it demanded the enforcement
OF the Fugitive Slave law of 1851"

a good effect upon his army.
He had on apparently an entirely new uni
form and a magnificent sword-such as is not
usually worn in the feld-and ii certainly left
the impression that the expectation was to sur
render it.
Nothing was said in the preliminary CONVEX
sation TO warrant the assumption that anything
more was TO be granted to the rebel army than
that they were TO be permitted to return to their
homes on laying down their arms, and not be

A Bright Example.

An account of the business failure of
81 Keck, of Cincinnati, is pleasant read
ing, despite pity for his misfortune. He
was possessed of over 81, 900, 900, was
President OF several moneyed institutions,
and estates were intrusted to his man
agement BY reverse in an immense
speculation he lost all he had but an
examination of his affairs showed that not
one of the institutions that he might have
plundered had suffered to the extent OF
a cent, and the estates in his hands had
not been touched This is bright ex-
ample ia these days.

MOUNTAIN MEADOWS.
The Massacre Attributed to Revenge for
the Shooting of an Old Mormon Leader.

hht Suootihs VI an Oiu
From the Denver Tribune.l
1t is said that the Mountain Meadows
massacre, for participation in which
John ID. Lee was shot, had it's origin il
the spring of 1856, in case of wife alb
duction by a Mormon Elder named
Pratt. The woman was the wife of III.
III. Mclean, merchant of San Fran
cisco. On her flight the deserted hus-
band sent his two children, very in
teresting boy and girl, to his father-in-
law, in New Orleans. Some time after
ward the mother left Salt Lake, got the
children, and started back to Utah with
them. On discovering this, the doubly-
injured father started in pursuit. He
went to New York, heard of Pratt there,
and tracked him from that point to st.
Louis. There he lost him. Then he
left for New Orleans, where he heard
that his wife and children were then
going through Texas to Salt Lake, so
off he went to Texas.
In his search for the missing ones,
he contrived to intercept some letters
which he found bearing her superscrip-
ton. On breaking the seals he saw they
were written in cipher. He succeeded
III HnuluS uue key 10 liic CipHcl, HoW-
ever, and discovered that the letters
were from Pratt, and contained request
that the caravan with which Mrs. Mclean
and her children were travelling should
go to the neighborhood of TT. Gibson, in
the Cherokee Nation. Greatly confused
and dispirited, Mr.. Mclean returned to
New Orleans, whence he started for TT.
Gibson, assuming the name of johnson.
He made known his secret to the officers
of the fort only. Here his vigilant and
energetic pursuit of the fugitives was
soon rewarded. He captured not only
his wife and children, but the scoundrel
who in the name of religion had enticed
them from their home. Pratt had trial.
was dismissed, and left the place secret
ly, but Mclean watched and pursued
him, overlook him on his road, and killed
him in his tracks
With his children Mclean returned to
New Orleans, and his wife in the mean
while having become Il raving maniac
was sent TO an insane asylum. This oc
cuIrence enraged the Mormons, and
when the Arkansas emigrants made their
appearance they had splendid oppor-
tunity to avenge this and other imagined
wrongs, and did SO.
