CameIs in Arizona.

The Yuma Sentinel a few days ago contained the following A herd of oamels was driven here from Nevada nearly two years ago. Finding no prot itable work for them, their owners turned them loose along the Gila to the east ward of Yuma. There they have been living and breeding, looking fat and sleek all the time. For while they were in danger of extermination. When ever they put in an appearance along the wagon road they frightened mules and horses beyond control of the drivers. They soon earned. the everlasting hatred of teamsters, some of whom acquired a habit of shooting camels on sight. Since, however, the railroad has been deliver ing freight at Adonde the road along the Gila this side of that place has been comparatively abandoned by teamsters, and the remaining camels have now 8 good chance to show what they can do in the way of propagation. The water less desert of Sonora, south and south east of Yuma, is known to possess inn mense deposits of salt, sulphur, borax and soda. Its mountains are also known to carry extensive deposits of metals. To these camels we look for eventually making these treasures accessible and available.

William Sharp Went to Bed.

The passion of love often reacts strangely on undisciplined minds, and frequently produces on them nest un- looked for results. At Keithley, at the beginning of the present century, lived young man named William Sharp. He fell desperately in love with girl, the daughter of neighborlng farmer. Everything went smoothly till the we'd ding morning, when the fathers could not agree how much to give the young couple to start them in life and literally at the last moment in church the match was broken off. This was too much for the weak mind of William Sharp; he went home, went to his bed, and never rose from it again. He was just thirty when he thus isolated himself from &C., tive life, and he died in his bed at the age of seventy-fve. His room was about nine feet square. The floor was stone, and generally damp. The window was permanently fastened some of the panes were filled in with wood and at the time of his death it had not been opened for thirty-eight years. In this dreary cell did this strange being i'm. mure himself. He obstinately refused to speak, and gradually every trace oi intelligence faded away. His father left an ample provision for his eccentric son, and he was well looked after. He ate as much as an ordinary day laborer, and at his death weighed over sixteen stone. In Harrowgate, several years ago, lived a woman who for the same cause behaved in exactly the same man ner. Her parents having prevented hel marriage with worthless character, she took to her bed, and had kept it fol fifteen years; and if not dead, is prob ably keeping it still. Chambers Jour anZ

Where Does Dew Come From 2

The general belief is that the soil ob- tains water. from the air at night by ab- sorption and condensation to such an ex- tent as to be of the "utmost agricul- tural value," and that in times of drought this moisture of the air invig- crates and sustains plants which other wise would perish. The observations of Professor Stockbridge show the soil from May to November, both at the sur face and fi7e inches deep, to be warmer than the air; it is hardly possible that the moisture on the surface in the morn ing was deposited from the air. A more reasonable conclusion is that the vapor which rises from the surface is con- densed as it comes in contact with the colder air. The phenomenon of so- called "dew.fall !" is usually attributed to the supposed fact that soil and plants are colder than the air at night, and so condense it's moisture in the form oi "dew." The "dew" on the ice pitcher is the common illustration to prove the theory but as we have seen, the con. ditions in this case are the reverse o1 those with soil and plant, which are both warmer than the air at night, while the ice-pitcher is colder. Further in. vestigations were made in the study ol this question. A tin box, without tor or bottom, was filled with soil and placed in growing grass the next morning the grass was loaded with dew
 but not trace appeared on the box, and the temperature of the soil was sixty-si1 degrees, and of the air sixty degrees
 This experiment was repeated many times with the same results. Then { loose tin cover was placed on the box
 in the morning the top of the cover wal dry, but the under side was |" thicklJ studded with drops of water "-dew.

Spring Wraps.

Dressy wraps for the spring, says the Bozar, will be mantles of Chuddah or of plain camels hair trimmed with rich ftinges. Black mantles will be most used, though light drab or bilge-colored wraps will be considered more dressy. The shapes are very similar to those of last season, with the back fitted by three seams, and clinging sides that drape the arm, and are finished in square Hungarian style, instead of dropping in pointed wings like Dolmans. These mantles are of medium length, covering the tournure and hips, and are trimmed with one or with three braided points down the back and on the sides. A great deal of imitation lace in French thread patterns will be used for trim ming these fine wool wraps. Merchants also predict the use of beads again, but it is too early to speak positively of the use of the new garnitures. Coats of soft light cloth will be used for spring sacques and for cool mornings out of town. Stitched edges and showy but tons will be the only trimmings for these. Gray tweeds and twilled cloths will be chosen for jackets.
 For travelling and steamer cloaks sin gle-breasted ulsters are shown in the English homespun cloths that are loosely woven in small checks of yellow. brown shades and in heather grays The belt for these is confined to the back and is very wide. Circular wraps of light gray cloth, black, brown and navy blue, are also shown for travelling, They are made with long pointed hood and have a showy clasp of oxidized sil yer at the throat.
 The small fichus of embroidered black cashmere worn last spring are again largely imported. ....

eign interference and to all foreign trade. If China could safely do for American traders and travellers just what the Congress of the United States has done for Chinese immigrants, it would make haste to do it. There never has been any willing concession by China to foreigners, and If the traditional Chinese wall could once more isolate the Celestial Empire. from the rest of the world, it would be joyful triumph for the Chinese diplomatists. The abroga- tion of the Burlingame treaty will cer- tainly be, a long step in that direction ; and there is abundant reason to suppose that the victory of the Anti Chinese Party in the United States is no less & victory for the Anti Foreign Party which rules China.
 F. Speaking of stock gambling, the New York Eve'ai,ag Post tsays:-We wish we could draw the line here and say that the risk and the ultimate loss that comes to the great body of speculators were material and not moral-were mere les ions of the body and not of the soul. But the category of evil is incomplete if it does not include those terrible effects on men which reach their morals which make young men reckless gamblers, which supplant theimpulses of self-con- trol by the impulses to quick gain, which foster high living, make our city life intense, feverish and demoralizing, and sap and wreck that symmetrical union of wholesome traits expressed by the single word "character." "I will take drink" says the fast liver, ito celebrate my gains to-day" and again, CT will take drink to drown the memory of to-day's losses. This is the logic of Wall street. Take the chance to-day to make new gains, take the chance tomorrow, or, as the gamblers say, bull your bad luck, to make up for bad luck yesterday. Meantime live luxuriously, forget moral precepts and the promptings of thrift, and live for Satan and not for God. In that long catalogue of temptations that beset the lives of human kind, and must do so while men are imperfect creatures, it must be seen with profound sorrow that in this country the mania for specula. tion is once again beginning to lead the way.

He Liked to Talk.

A good story is told of Ex-Governor Magofin, of Kentucky, who is good talker and likes to do most of the talking himself. Recently in making the journey from Cincinnati to Lexington he shared his seat in the car with br;ght-eyed, pleasant-faeed gentleman. The Gov ernor, after few commonplace remarks, to which his companion smiled and nodded assent, branched into 8 descrip- ton of the scenes he had witnessed in different parts of the country, grew elo- quent over the war, described with glow ing speech the horse-races he had wit messed, talked learnedly of breeding, ank told thrilling stories of his battles with the Indians in the Northwest. The hours slipped rapidly away, and when the train was nearing Lexington the two exchanged cards and parted with COT, dial shake of the hands. The Governor drove to an inn, and to a number o1 friends he remarked that the ride had never seemed so short before. "Then you must have had pleasant company aboard" "You are right. I met g gentleman of unusual intelligence. We conversed all the way over. I never was brought in contact with more agree able man." "Indeed! Who was he ? asked his friends. "Wait minute; have his card" and the Governor felt in his pockets, and produced the bit oi pasteboard. "His name is King. ? "Not Bob King?" shouted dozen in one breath. "Yes, gentlemen, Robert King; that is the way the card reads, was the proud reply. A roar of laughter followed. "Why, Governor, Bob King is as deaf as a post he was born deat and dumb ]"

The Dying DFunkard.

The following vivid description, is given by Father Burke in dealing with the evils of intemperance. He says :-
 If the greatest drunkard and the great est sot and slave to the vice of intemper- ance that ever lived, were only to have heard what I have heard, and seen what I have seen, that man would never taste the accursed drink again, even if it were to save his life for thousand years. I remember being called to Q man who was dying from excess of drink. Four men were holding him down in the bed. The idea ho had in his delirious mind was that by holding him down in the bed they were sinking him inch by inch into hell. With a terror-stricken voice, he cried "I am on bed of fire Oh, God I am burning Away, away, ye devils ! Let me rise from this bed of torn enting flames Don't keep me down p While. his great chest was heav- ing, and he was raving like one pos sessed of thousand devils, he cried again, "Go away, go away, you ac- cursed see the devils around me p Then, sinking in abiect terror, he clung to the men and cried, "They are coming for me Save me, save me! There are the black demons, seven in number Oh, God, where shall fyl All hell is around me here p And thus was he ray ing when I entered the room: Shrieks, terrible to hear, were ringing upon the air the despair of hell was impressed upon his face. I laid my hand on his face to see whether there was any mes merism to let that influence of peace pass into him. For moment his eyes grew calm-He knew me. "Ah, Father Tom, is it you ? Tell me, have you the bless ed sacrament ?
 "Yes," said l.. .-...
 All at once his look changed, and, ca1mness gone, he exclaimed "Begone begone 7! begone thou and thy God Begone! Iknow He is your God, but will not have him here There are those devils around me. Take your God away from me forever. Begone, say Be. gone God and devil cannot dwell under one roof! Begone begone Oh, God, I will not have Thee Begone l" Then, heaving one mighty sigh, his heart broke from the excess of his terrible delirium he fell back corpse, wit these words of blasphemy upon his lips

THE PINE TREE.

Before your atoms came together
 Twas fnll-grown, tower of strength, Been by the sailors out at sea,
 With great storms measuring all my length Making my mighty minstrelsy, Companion of the ancient weather. YoursI Just as much the stars that shiyer When the frost sparkles overhead! Call yours as soon those viewly airs
 That sing in the clear vault and tread The clouds! Less yours than theirs Those fsh-hawks sweeping round the river! In the primeval depths embowering
 My broad boughs with my branching peers My gums spilled in precious drops
 Ay, even in those elder years The eagle building in my tops, Along my boughs the panther covering. Beneath my shade tho rcd man slipping, Himself Q shadow, stole away; A paler shadow follows him!
 Races may go, or races stay, The cones upon my lofiest limb The winds will many year be stripping; And there the hidden day be throwing
 His fires, though dark the dead prime be, Before the bird shake off the dew.
 Ahi what songs have been sung 10 mel What songs will yet be sung, when you Are dust upon the four winds blowing!

Whats One Bullet !?

An incident occurred in the battle of Franklin which I have never seen in print. That sanguiRary battle was at its height, and now and then there was a soldier who would not face the music, and, holding to the idea that "distance lends enchantment, on all such occa- sions would exhibit his faith in the idea by taking "leg-bail" for the rear. These cases were getting too numerous toward the close of the battle, and Col. B., A.. A. G. of our brigade, was sent back to the rear to intercept those seeking for safety and return them to their respective posts of duty.
 Col. B. said he hailed one fellow who was making tracks for some place of safety with all the energy of despair.
 "Halt Isay, and return toyour com- mand r
 The flying son of Mars took no notice of the command.
 Halt I say, and go back to your post P
 The soldier paid no attention to him.
 The Colonel now became exasperated, and yelled out:
 elf you don't turn and go back to your command I will shoot you, sir !"
 Without pausing in his flight the sol dier yelled back at him:
 "Shoot and be hanged Whats one bullet to basketful P
 Col. B. let him go, and after the battle told the incident as good joke.

A Temperance Lecture.

MT. and Mrs. Gill had worked very hard for year at @ ranch Tn Nevada, saving every cent that they could, and at the end of that time started to return to Virginia City, where they intended to buy little home. They decided to make the journey afoot in order to avoid expense, but they bought a bottle of whisky to drink on the way. "Come on, my darling" said Gill, as they set out together, "weIl be happy now. " Their first effort to be happy was to drink the liquor. It was exceedingly cold, and late that night Gill staggered into tavern thoroughly intoxicated. He said that his wife had frozen to death back on the road. She was found dead, indeed, but Gill had murdered her in g drunken quarrel.

The Discovery of Matches.

The story of this discovery has been told by MT. Holden himself in the House of Commons, before a select committee to inquire into the Patent laws. We cannot do better, therefore, than give it in his own words "I be- gan as an inventor on very small scale," said MT. Holden, in the course of his evidence. t" For what I know, I was the first inventor of lucifer matches; but it was the result of happy thought. In the morning used to get up at four o'clock to pursue my studies, and I used at that time the flint and steel, in the use of which I found very great in convenience. gave lectures in chem istry at the time to a very large acad- emy. Of course I knew, as other chem ists did, the explosive material that was necessary to produce instantaneous light; but it was very difficult to obtain Q light on wood by that explosive ma terial, and the idea occurred to me to put under the explosive material sul- phur. I did that, and published it in my next lecture and showed it. There was a young man in the room whose father was chemist in London, and he immediately wrote to his father about it, and shortly afterward lucifer matches were issued to the world. I believe that was the first occasion that we had the present lucifer match, and it was one oi those inventions that people think ought not to be protected by patent. l think that if all inventions were like that, or if we could distinguish one from the other, the principle might hold good. If all inventions were ascer- tained and carried into practice with as much facility as in this case, no one would perhaps think of taking out g patent. was urged to go and take out "a patent immediately but I thought il was so small matter, and it cost me SC little labor, that I did not think il proper to go and get out g patent, other wise I have no doubt it would have been very profitable.
