Camels i'm the American Desert.

For nearly a year past four camels
have been running at large in the vicinity
of Mineral Park-three old ones and q
young one. One of the old ones looks to
be quite ancient, and it may be that one
of the original stock was imported from
Asia many years ago. These animals
are very gentle. A few days ago Mr..
Knobman was out hunting stock and be
came across these camels, but his mule
objected to an intimate acquaintance,
and commenced bucking. Horses and
mules are frightened at the sight of
them. In Nevada and Idaho, and /
think Montana, there is law against
using these animals in towns or travelling
on the roads, as they frighten stock.
There seem to be no owners for these
camels, and in time they may increase
and become numerous.-[Arizona Miner.

Touching Death-Bed Scene.

!. Willie, bright little daughter of
Captain T. W. Walton, died at her
fa.her's residence, near Roanoke, on the
14th Of January, in the seventh year of
her age. Little Willie had been sick
long time, yet she bore her afiiction
with all the patience and fortitude of
one much older. On the day of her
death she called her little brothers and
sisters around her and divided among
them her toys, telling them she was
going to die, and for them not to quarrel
over the toys. She requested her father
to remain with her during the day,
informing him that she would not live
to see another. She fingered until seven
o'clock in the evening, without the least
apparent change, in perfectly conscious
condition, talking to those around her.
She counted the strokes as the clock
tolled seven, and when it had finished
she turned to her father and said: "Pa,
I will never hear the clock strike again;
give me an apple" The apple was given
her, and, after eating it, she began talk
ing of dying, expressing great aversion
to being put under the ground after
death. She was assured that only her
body was buried; that the spirit left the
body and went to heaven. This seemed
to give her great relief, and again ad-
dressing her father, she said: els ma
watching for me?" and on being assured
she was, she said: "Turn me over then,
and let me die" She was tenderly
turned on her side, and in another
moment the spirit Of little Willie had
flown to join it's dear mamma over the
river. The clock tolled eight all the
same, but little Willie never heard it.
She was dead!-[ Howard County ADJ

Causes of Sudden Death.

Very few of the. sudden deaths which
are said to arise from diseases of the
heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, experiments have been tried in
Europe and reported to a scientific
congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty-six
cases of sudden death were made the
subject of thorough post-mortem exam
nation. In these only two were found
who had died from disease of the heart.
Nine out of sixty-six had died of apo
plexy, while there were forty-six cases of
congestion of the lungs-that is, the
lungs were 80 JUL of blood that they
could not work, there not being blood
enough for quantity of air to enter to
support life. The causes that produce
congestion of the lungs are cold feet,
tight clothing, costive bowels, sitting
still, chilled after being warmed with
labor or rapid walking, going too sudden
" from close, heated roems into the cold
air, especially after speaking, and sudden
depressing news operating on the blood.
The causes Of sudden death being known,
an avoidance of them may serve to
lengthen many valuable lives which
would otherwise be lost under the YER
dict "heart complaint" The disease is
to be inevitable and incurable;
hence, many do not take the pains they
would do to avoid sudden death, if they
knew it lay in their power.

Sol. Smiths Curse:

Sol Smiths brother Lemuel, young
acter, was killed in Augusta, Ga. His
murderer, Flournoy, was acquitted by
the jury on the plea that the killing
might be classed as the result Of duel.
After hearing the verdict: Sol Smith said
to the homicide:
Before God and man charge you with
numbering my brother The sleep of the
innocent will never more be yours.
You are murderer. and will ever more
carry the mark of homicide upon your
brow. From this time forth in this
world you will never sleep again."
Two years later Sol was accosted by an
abject-looking wretch, who stood before
him in an attitude of supplication. 1t
was VIM. Flournoy.
"Why do you follow me ?" said Sol.
Because I want you to shoot me-
right here"
"No, it is not ter me to punish you,"
was the reply.
cit is not punishment ask you to
infict-that I have received already, in
full measure; it is vengeance I ask you
to take, for your brothers murder upon
his murderer. I endeavored to persuade
myself I committed the deed in self.
defense, but know better now. I am q
murderer. You said I would never sleep
more, and 7 never have. I closed my eyes
at night az usual, have stepped my senses
in brandy until unconsciousness came
but that blessed sleep you drove away
has never returned to me for one moment.
Ny lie is a burden to me. Take it. Let
me die by your hand, and then / may
feel your brother may forgive me. Twill
die to.nigntv' he said, impressively, as
Sol turned away and left him.
The next morning Flournoy's body
was found at his country place.. It was
riddled with bullets and scalped. An
indian war had just broken out, and he
had been the first victim. -TSunny

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

How Crazed Woman was Brrtay Treated
Susan Whitehorn, the woman who has
been on the county for several months,
supposed to be crazy, was removed few
days ago, by her brother, to his home in
Illinois, her former residence. Her his
tory, as far as known, is indeed sad one.
Marrying a worthless man contrary to the
wishes of her family, she left her nome and
friends, came south and taught 8 school
in the lower part of this county for the
support of herself and her shift
less husband. 1t soon became ap-
parent that she was deranged, and
she was taken charge of by the
authorities. Money was made up to defray
their expenses north, but at Barefeld's 8
Point they were get ashore, the husband
took all the money and deserted the
unfortunate wife, alone, friendless and
demented, on the bank of the river.
It is with shame and modification that
we chronicle the fact that this poor
miserable creature was kept chained like
a wild beast upon the banks of the Mis-
sissippi for days and weeks till the gall
ing iron actually cut to the bone around
her ankle. Then, after she was brought
back to our jail, we are reliably informed
that it was a daily occurrence to beat
her numerically because she refused to
eat the coarse brute fare that was carried
to her, and for various similar efenses.
Again, she was placed in the hands of
an old woman in the vicinity of
Osceo]a, who beat her most cruelty
for such little misdemeanors
as bending a Knitting needle,
apilling milk on the table while eating,
etc. Only a few days since, Susan,
wearied of her tyrannical mistress, tried
to escape, going about from house to.
house asking for a home, where she could
earn living. She was soon captured
by two gallant officials, who carried her
back to the den of the tigress. Without
waiting even for the officers to leave,
this delectable she-devil proceeded to
administer fearful beating on the back
of her crazy victim. And what for?
Because she was lucid enough to attempt
to fee away from her prison, where
bodily punishments were daily inflicted
on her.. Let 1t not be forgotten that
thing calling himself one of Gods noble
men, constituted by the law of God and
man, the defender and protector of the
weak and helpless, stood quietly by and

said the widow, With a start, which
came very near jerking the robe off his
knees.
"One of the traces is off," answered
he.
"Well, why don't you get out and put
it on again ?''
"I can't" said Bill. "pve got--that
is, l--I haven't got--oh, dear, Pm SO
sick! What shall do?'
"Why, Willie," said she, tenderly,
"what is the matter? Do tell mep'
She gave his hand little squeeze, and
looked into his pale face she thought he
was going to faint, SO she got out her
smelling"bottle with her left hand, and
pulling the stopper out with her teeth,
stuck it to bis nose.
Bill was just taking in breath for
mighty sigh: and the pungent odor made
him throw back his head so far that he
lost his balance, and went over the low
back buggy.
The little woman gave low scream as
his bare feet flew past her head, and
covering her face with her hands, gave
way to tears or smiles--it is hard to tell
which, Bill was up in a moment, and,
leaning over the back of the seat, was
humbly apelogizing and explaining,
when, Ed. Wilbur and his wife and baby
drove up behind and stopped.
Poor Bill felt that he would rather
have been shot than had Ed. Wilbur
catch him in such scrape, but there was
no help for it now, so he called Ed. to
him and whispered in his ear. Ed. was
likely to burst with suppressed laughter,
but he beckoned his wife to draw up,
and, after saying something 10 her, he
helped the widow out of Bills buggy and
into his, and the two women went on,
leaving the men behind.
Bill lost no time in arranging his toilet
as we'll as he could, and then with great
persuasion Ed. got him to 70 home with
him, and hunting up slippers and socks,
and getting him washed and combed, had
him quite presentable when the ladies
arrived. .
l need not tell you how the story was
all wormed out of bashtul Bill, and how
they all laughed as they sat around the
tea-table that night; but will conclude
by saying that they all went to the show
together, and Bill has no fear of Gus
Sockrider now.
