Sword-SwalIOWing in Earnest.

M. Benedict, the sword swallower, gave
q private seance on Saturday last to
some members of the medical profession
in his room at the Westminster Aqua
rum. Since IS years Of age, itrseems,
this gentleman has been fighting nature
with the sword until, he has pushed the
stomach down into the groin, thus e1on-
eating the esophagus to an unnatural
extent. AS rule he prefers taking food
before the exhibition begins, as it makes
the internal sheath more agreeable to
the reception of cold steel, and protects
the coats of the stomach from being
pierced with the swords point. A ply
stefan who was present told me he dis
tinctly felt the sword recede as it was
withdrawn from the stomach lying quite
in the groin. The M. DIS present found
his throat a good deal infamed, and

%CamelS i'm Arizona.

under command of Lieut.. d. d. Porter,
was sent to the Mediterranean to obtain
them in Africa and the Levant. Fine
thirty three in all, were Sc

this country; the rest were landed in
Texas. In recent years little has been
heard of these animals. The Arizono

and one young, all quite same,, have been
running at large pear Mineral Park.
One of these is 80 old that it is supposed
to belong to the stock originally i'm

wrote a small volume on the camel,
showing its probable usefulness if intro

the animals were brought to Texas.
Canels are now bred in that State, and
the business is said to be profitable.
