CAMELS IN THE AMERICAN
DESERT.

For nearly year past, four camels have
been running at large in the vicinity of
Mineral Park-three old ones and young
one. One Of the old ones looks to be quite
ancient, and it may be that one of the origi-
nal stock was imported from Asia many
years ago. These animals are very gentle.
Not long ago, Mr.. Knobman was out hunt
ing stock, and he came across these cam
els, 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 u.s.
ing 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 nu-
merous.-Arizona Miner.

CAIRO.

Travellers in Egypt see many curious
things and are generally amused by each
new sight and sound. The donkey boys
of Cairo are fright little fellows. From
constant intercourse with travellers they
soon catch a few words of various LAM
guages. If your donkey boy finds you are
an American, he is sure to call his donkey
by some pet namo which he thinks will
please you. He Nays. 'He 'ver good little
donkey; he name Yankee Doodle" An
other says: "He fine little donkey-he
name Andrew Jackson or "Abe Lincoln"
You can ride an hour for ten or twelve
cents. Most of the carrying is done on
the backs of donkeys and camels. Results
are not accomplished with great rapidity,
therefore. l have seen them excavating
for railroad, and carrying away the dirt
on donkeys about half bushel at load
carried in panniers or baskets which are
balanced on either side of the little amin; |.
Some who were not SO fortunate as to own
donkey-men and women-were carrying
dirt in small baskets on their heads. A
curious sight it would be in this country,
where man with wheel-barrow would
remove more dirt in an hour than donkey
would carry in half a day. Heavy mer-
chandise, such as boxes, barrels and bugs,
is transported on camels-long lumber is
loaded crosswise like the letter X as dray-
men load it. A few carriages are in use,
principally by Europeans, of whom quite
number reside there, engaged princi-
pally in trade.

A SINGULAR TRADITION.

st. Stephspls day, in the Isle of Man, is
given over, among great part of the pop
ulution, to II cruel custom, that of hunting
wrens with sticks and stones; and when
they succeed in capturing one, it is tied to
the end of long pole aud carried around
the country. The custom arises from
superstition, dating far into the past, of a
fairy 80 beautiful that all the youths of
the island went to look at her, and then
she would sing such wondrous songs that
they would follow wherever she chose to
lead them, which was into the sea, for she
was cruel and wicked, and lead them, one
after another, to their death, until, at
length, scarcely young man WAS left, and
trouble was in every mans home for the
brother or son that was missing. Atlength
there came knight, who, vowing venge-
ance, laid deep plot for the destruction of
the wicked ludy. He seized lier by her
long hair, but as he stood over her with
his drawn sword she suddenly changed into
q tiny wren, flying away from under his
fingers, and thus ESCAPED with mocking
laugh of triumph; but by. some power
greater than her own, the wicked lady fairy
was compelled once in every year to reap.
pear in the island in her assumed form,
and this is on st. Stephens day, when the
young men of the supersttious island hunt
after her with vivid memory of their an
cient wrongs.

Then he began: When you published

Then the mill began, each whacking

both hands brought it down plump on
the top of his new silk hat. You have
heard paper bag burst when boy has
filled it with wind, and pounded it? Well,
the Congressman's hat exploded just like
that, with loud report, as if it had been
filled with gas. The hat was knocked
down over his head, and was only stopped
by his ears. You couldn't see his face
at all, and he was really very funny
sight. 1 had to laugh" The report
brought out the people and the combat

is that, if you are attacked by a Congress
man you may end the trouble speedily
by striking hard enough to explode him.
An exploded Congressman with the wind
all out of him would be a funnier sight
than Warmers dilapidated hat.

The breeze makes love to you at night,

Beneath youl boughs, at fall Of dew,
BY lovers lips Is softly told
The tale that all the ages through
Has kept the world from growing old
But still, though Aprll's buds unfold,
Or summer sets the earth aleaf,
Or autumn pranks your robes with gold,
You sway and sigh in graz eful grief.

And keep your secret, faithful troes
