Texas CameIs.

AS is pretty generally known, there
is q camel rancho in Bastrop county,
which has been in existence some
twenty years, and 1urdished many
menageries with these ungainly beasts
for exhibition. The Hampstead Messe
ger Of Thursday reports another ship
ment of q carload of ten camels from
Elgin, a railroad station this side of
Austin under charge of Mr.. e. Lam
fear, who is taking them to GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin, where they are to be added
TO the attractions of 3 travelling mem
agerie. The Messenger briefly re-
peats the history of camel breeding in
Texas.
These camels are the progeny o.
those brought into Texas about TWEEN
ty years ago, with the expectation that
they would be used for transportation
on the Staked Plains and other desert
regions about the time of the Mormon
rebellion. They were landed at Gal
weston, but the chances of employing
them prOtitably for army purposes
failed, and they were sold. They pro-
vided somewhat like the elephant won
in the rattle TO the first purchasers. hut
finally fell into the hands of II. D.
Mather, of F1gin, who now owns the
whole herd, about fifty in number.
Every year sales are made of the IN

The price they bring is from $3.50 TO
$500 each, at from two to five years OF

They are no more trouble to raise
than horses or cattle. The colts for
the first three or four days are rather
tender and require close attention, but
alter that take their chances with the
herd. They iced on cactus and brush,
eschewing all grasses that horses and

and I use the expression advisetlly.
The young man or woman who has
passed twenty years of life, who has
known something of struggle and toll,
incurred possibly to avail himself or
herself of the advantages of this very
institution, may think that he or she
is already in the midst of the great
world but this is hardly the case.
New York harbor is a part OF the
ocean the Water is salt and some
times rough, and the breeze that blows
over il is fresh and strong, and the
tide Iises and falls; but no ships are
ever seen under full sail in its waters.
They are tswed about by steam tugs,
and it is only when you are outside of
the NarIows, and the tug has cast off
and the pilot is game, that you are at
sea and tile difference is, that from
that time, on her journey through
light and darkness, through sun
shine and storm, near the low reef of
sunken rock, for thousands of miles,
until the once familiar stars are gone
and even the heavens are strange, the
good ship must care for herself alone.
For DAYS she sails the lonely deep, nor
sees the faintesr glimmeriag OF a
friendly sail. When the sky grows
black, the waves grow white, and the
vessel rolls and groans like sick man
In his sleep, she cannot run into q
friendly harbor her salvation depends
on her keeping of shore. If there are
defects in her construction, If she is ILL.,

she leaves port, she cannot return to
mend these defects. Courage and skill
on the part of the officers must repair
damages and provide against calamity .
But there is no going back. She is at

TemperanceItem

When W. e. Gladstone was Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom, a
deputation of brewers waited on him,
to remind him of the loss the revenue
would sustain by any farther restric-
tons on the liquor traffic. His reply
as reported, was: "Gentlemen, you
need not give. yourselves any trouble
about the revenue. The question OF
revenue must never stand ia the way
of needed reforms. Besides with 8
sober population, not wasting their
earnings d, I will know where to obtain
the revenue"
In few places has the temperance
work been pushed with greater success
than in Jefferson City, Missouri. The
meetings were begun by Hon. NJ
Knott, of Usage, Col. Waters headed
the movement at later date. All the
clergymen in the city gave their aid
fully and enlisted the attendance and
good will of every body. The meet
ings are still held twice a week, and
the work is extending into the coun-
try. In all, oyer 800 have signed the
pledge. The United States revenue
fell off last month about two hundred
dollars on account of the restricted sale
of liquor.

lation TO the use of fermented wine at
the Lords Supper.

Dramallc seene az .he lIoa.e

TIL e most dramatic scene of the ses-
sion in the House occurred to-day,
when the bill to pay Southern mail
carriers for services prior TO 1861 came
up. Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, Postmas-
ter of the C0nfederacy, has declared
that none OF these claims have ever
been paid by the Confederate govern
ment. Mr.. Willis, OF Michigan, a
new member, who has heretofore kept
quiet. obtained ten minutes time, and
Mr. Reagan had cause TO regret It. Mr..
Willis exhibited documents to prove
that the contractors had been paid on
these claims by Reagan, whose name
appeared there; that contractors had
to establish their loyalty TO the Con-
federacy, and that It was stipulated
that the money should be refunded TO
the rebel government If it should ever
be collected from the United States.
Intense excitement ensped, and then
there was a moment of suspense. The
Democrats saw that Mr.. Reagan had
put his foot In 1t. BE arose and with
great dignity said that these things
happened a long while ago, and that
his defective memory had led him into
4 mistake. The Democratic side was
dumbfounded, and there were some bit
ter reproaches quietly uttered against
him for putting his party In false
position. Messrs. Blount, Singleton,
Tucker and G0ode say they will have
nothing more TO do with that bill, aud
the indications are that Mr.. Reagan
has killed It. During the excitement
Mr.. Conger got the floor and obtained
possession OF the bill, which is now
under Republican control.--P hiladel-

Anew "WhIsky Punch..

The compounders of cocktails at
the Continental have been kept busy
during the past week explaining the
use of q neat looking black walnut
case in the center of the bar, with
little silver circles containing the
figures 10 15, 20, 25, 80, 40, so, rs,
100 and 200, below each of which is
a small drawer. This drawer con-
tains pasteboard cards, with q num-
Der corresponding to the circle
above. When the customer calls for
glass of ale, the ten cent drawer is
pulled out aud q card with that
amount is handed to the imbiber,
who passes over the cash and the
ticket, both oil which are deposited
in the cash drawer. Mean " hile the

is in the possession of the proprie-
tors of the hotel. When the cash
account is made up in the morning,
the amount of money in the cash
dswer must equal the total amount

The machine Is very ingenious in
it's workings, and is an effectual pre-
ventive against bar tenders knock

nipulators of glasses remarked yes

THE CLOCK OF CLOCKS.
a Pennsylvania ORtdOes aEae
Work Of Habreehf, OF
kEraShnrG.

In Mengel's building is now on
exhibition, in all probability, the
most wonderful clock in the world.
1t was built by Stephen D. Engle, q
matchmaker at Hazleton. He is
about 40 years eff age, aud was 20
years in perfecting the clock. Mr..
Reid paid Engle 5000 for it. Engle
never saw the Strasburg clock. In
fact, he has never travelled more
than zoo miles from home at any
time. This clock stands III feet
high. At the base it is about four
feet vide and at the top about two.
1t Is about three feet deep at the
base; gradually less toward the top
lis coiors are brown and gold. The
Strasburg clock is 80 feet high, yet
its mechanism is not SO intricate,
nor has it as many figures as the
Hazleton clock. Tie Strasburg
clocks figures are about three feet
high and the American clock about
nine inches. Three minutes before
the hour q pipe organ inside the
clock plays an anthem. It has five
tunes. Bells are then rung, and,
when the hour is struck, double
doors in an alcoYe open and q figure
of Jesus appears. Double doors to
the left then open, and the apostles
appear slowly, one by one, in pro-
cessioD. AS they appear aud pass
Jesus, they turn toward him, Jesus
bows again and proceeds through
the double doors in an alcoVe on the
right. AS Peter approaches, Satan
looks out of the window above and
tempts him. Five times the devil
appears, and when Peter passes, de-
nying Christ. the cock flaps its
wings and crows. When Judas APP
pears, Satan comes down from the
window, aud follows Judas out in
the procession, and then goes back
into his place, to watch Judas sp-
pearing on both sides. As the pro.
cession has passed, Judas and the
three Marys disappear, and the
doors are closed. The scene can be
repeated in an hour, if necessary !;
and the natural motion of the clock
produces it four times per hour,
whereas the Strasburg procession is
made but once q day, at II o'clock.
Below the pizza is the main dial,
about thirteen inches in diameter.
To the right is q figure of time, with
an hour glass. Above this win
dow, at which appears figures repre-
senting youth, manhood and old
age. To the left of the dial is q
skeleton, representing death. When
the hour-hand approaches the first
quarter, Time reverses his hour
glass, and strikes one on bell with
his scythe, when another bell Inside
responds. Then childhood appears
instantly. When the hour-hand APP
proaches the second quarter, or half
hour, there are heard the strokes of
two bells. Then youth appears, and
the organ plays a hymn. After this,
Time strikes two and reverses his
hour-glsss, when two bells respond
inside. One minute after this q
chime of bells is heard, when a
folding-door opens in the upper
porch, and one at the right of the
court when the Saviour comes
walking out. Then the apostles sp-
pear in procession. The clock also
tells of the moons changes, the
tides, the seasons, days, the day of
the month and year, and the signs
of the guard walking back ward and
forward. AS the hours advance,
manhood, old age, and death take
part in the panorama.

Pho Mono Called 30 Account
From the Baltimore Standard.

His Holiness Pope Pho Mono was
received by his illustrious predeces-
sor, Saint Peter, with q smile of cor
dial welcome.
you have had a long and tran
quill reign said the saint; Il trust
you have left the sffairs of our holy
church in a fiourishing condition on
earth 2
HIS holiness assured Saint Peter
that the Catholic faith was never
more firmly rooted and grounded,
and the influence of the church nev-
when ne left Rome; in fact, Macau-
lay was right when he said that she
would exist in that undimiuished
vigOr when that New Zsalander was
making his celebrated sketch of the
ruins of st. Paul's.
The saint looked pleased and said
to his holiness, L am glad to hear SO
favorable an account of your spirit
ual reign. Was your temporary
reign equally successful p
Not in all respects replied his
holiness still, left behind me
about $24,0O0,O00 of money
Indeed said Peter, we touched
no such sums in my day. To whom
did you eutrust such a vast hoard p
To the Rothschilds,' said his ho-
illness, hesitatiDgly.
Something like q froWn over
spread the features of the saint.
The Rothschilds,' said he, with de-
liberation /; are they not jews?
Il believe-that is to say-I think
l-yes-they are.' said his Holiness,
with still greater hesitation.
tAnd do you mean-to tell me,
said the saint, sternly, that you, the
vicar of Jesus Christ on earth, de-
posted the contributions of our no.

those men who reviled and spat up
on and cruelty put him to-death p
'Well-shl yes, I did,
'Why did your said the saint,

erful reason

his Holiness. The truth is, Saint
Peter, 1 did not know any chris
tians VINO I was willing to trust

After protracted discussion of
the subject of future punishment,
the UniYersalist clergymen of Bos-
ton and vicinity have adopted the
following views: Sin is accompa!
MED and followed by misery until
the acquisitions Of Divine justice
are obeyed. God administers such
discipline, including both ehastise-
ment aud instruction, aud for as
long q period as may be necessary
TO secure obedience, and opportuni-
ties for repentance and salvation
are not limited to this life. They
also declared that "whatever differ
ence in regard TO the future may
exist among as, none Of ne believe
that the horizon Of eternity will be
relatively, either largely or for q
long time, overcast by the elOuds OF
Sin or punishment, aud In coming
into the enjoyment of salvation,
whenever that may be, eli the ele-
mente of penitence, forgiveness and
regeneration are involved"
