American CamelS.
From the Salt Lake Herald, June 10.

From the Salt Lake Herald, June 10.
The camel-breeding industry is
promising in Arizona. Three years ago
herd of those animals was taken to
Yuma, the intention being to make
them serviceable as beasts of burden.
The attempt was failure, the climate
seeming to disagree with them, and it
was found that they were not so useful
as the little mules. The owners turned
the camels loose, and they roamed
along the ella River, apparently en-
joying their liberty and proiting by it,
They have bred literally, and appear to
have become acclimated and domesti-
Gated to the region, thriving as though
they had been in their own native At
RIGA. It is thought the new generation
of cameis will be used to the alkaline
waters peculiar to the southwestern
section. and can be made serviceable in
transporting the mineral products of
that country across the long deserts Of
sand, to places where they can be prof
itably worked. At any rate the owners
of the rejected and wandering beasts
feel that there is money in their camels,
and will hereafter devote some care to
the breeding and rearing of them.

GEN. ALE. SULLY.
His Large Estate-.--His Half-Breed
Daughter, Etc.

Gen. Alfred Sully, who died recently
at Fort Vancouver, on the Pacific coast,
left very valuable estate in Philadel-
phia, inherited from his father, and also
a considerable sum of money he had
accumulated in his long army career.
The Philadelphia estate alone is worth
several hundred thousand dollars. It
is how said that the only person to
whom any part of Gen. Sully's' large
fortune of right belongs is his half-breed
daughter, Julia, at present living with
White Swans band of Yankton Indi.
ans, eighty miles above ,Yankton, Da-
kota, on the Missouri. and making her
home with Colin La Mont, also of mix
ed blood. Those who knew Gen. SuIly
we'll while campaigning against the In
ciaiis of Dakota, say that at his death
he had no wife or any issue living ex-
cept this girl, and steps will soon be Ia
ken to establish her rights to the for
tune. The marriage Of Gen. Sully, &C
cordlng to Indian custom, with this
girls squaw mother, is susceptible of
proof, and it is believed it will be diff
cult to invalidate this claim. Gen.
Sully's daughter, who is we'll known to
those who have travelled through the
upper country, is regarded as the
handsomest Indian maiden on the Mis-
souri, river or in the great Sioux nation.
She cannot talk English, and her habits
are thoroughly aboriginal. The daugh-
ter Of the late Gen. Sully was frequently
seen by the writer while engaged in
surveying the Ynnkton reservation.
Having occasion to stop at the house of
Colin La Mont, the girls handsome ap-
pearance attracted attention, and La
Mont was asked if she was a daughter
of his. La Mont said: "No, sir, she is
Sully's daughter, and if any of you men
have seen Sully you would say she
bears strong resemblance to him."

The Welcome Visitor.

The man who knows how to "drop
in" of an evening, draw his chair up to
your hearth as if it were his own, and
fall into the usual evening routine of
the household as if he were a member
of it-how welcome he always is! The
man who comes to stay under your
roof for a season, and who, without
being intrusive, makes you feel that he
is cat home" with you, and is content
IN his usual fashion of occupation
how delightful a guest be is! And the
houses-ah! how few of them-into
which one can go for day or week
and feel sure that the family routine is
IN no wise altered, the family comfort
Is IN no wise lessened, but, on the con-
trary, increased by his presence-what
JOY it is to cross their threshold. What
good harbors of refuge they are to the
weary wanderers!

A TRAGEDY of the CircuS.
New York Evening Post,

About o'clock yesterday forenoon a
man whose form was full of wrinkles,
and kinks, and twists crawled out of a
coal-shed on the wharf and began yawn-
ing and rubbing his eyes like one who
had put in heavy night. A police
man lounged that way, gave the man a
looking over, and asked:
''Sleep in there last night?"
"Yaas, kinder" was the reply.
Hooking for work p
emo, not exactly"
you'll be run in if you hang around
in this way" remarked the officer.
The man put his hand on top of a
snubbing post, laid his chin on his
hands, and after long look at Canada
ne turned and said:
81 dunno exactly what Pm going to
do. | did live out here about eight
miles, but I've separated from the old
woman. Yes, separated last night"

"Waal, she was my second, land I was
her second, and we never got along any
too sweet. We both Of us think we
know it all, and neither feels like giving
in. We came to see the circus
"Ah! you did,"
"And that's where the separation
took plaee-right in front of the sacred
hyenas from Japan. You know they
advestised an electric light there?"
"Yes."
"Well, we'd never seen one. When
we got into the menagerie there stood
the elephant. Then came the camels
Then we came to darned old bear.
Further on We're the lions and tigers aud
monkeys, but no electric light. We
walked three times around that old tent
without coming to his cage, and l got

atlanta Consultation: We think our
people hardly appreciate the amount
of money that has been made in the
south by the recent furry in cotton
speculations. There is scarcely vii
lage that does not furnish it's man who
has made from $4,000 to 500, OOO Col.
Sam Rice, Of Montgomery, probably
heads the list with cool $500, 900; but
there are several, two at least in Savan
nah, and one in Rome, who have made
from $4,000 to 100000. Albany fur
nishes modest dealer who picked up
500, 500. In Savannah almost every
dealer, of hundreds of dabblers, made
largely. The augusta Neaos is authority
for the statment that a man who didn't
make as much as $5,OO0is kicked or.
of the exchange. We know of one
railroad man who cleared $1,000 with
out knowing he had any sort of a chance;
and of one newspaper man who wished
to make $250,OO0. The gains in New
Orleans are immense, it being said that
that city pulled in $10,000,000 il. cool
cash. One of the fine features of all
this gain, by the way, is that it comes
in cash, and is paid without any long
delay.

Beside the cradle while l sleep,

Mr.. Meek's voice faltered as he

glance from Mr.. Mangle brought him to
halt.
Just then the prisoner CHANGED to
turn his head, and catch a glimpse OF
the senior partner, Who had just enter
ed and was standing among the crowd,
he started quickly, then whispered hur-
riedly IN my ear.
Turn aside your face I whispered
back. And the case for the prosecution
was closed.

fence?" inquired the judge.

One other question, Mr.. Mangle, I re-
sumed. DO you recognize in the pris
oner a young man from whom you won
thousand dollars at poker while on
your travels?' and named the time and
place at which the prisoner had met
with the misfortune.
The man of iron nerve hesitated worse
than his more amiable partner had
done. He was hating between point
blank lie, which might entail the penal
ties of perjury, and the truth, which
would cost him money.
Cowardice performed the Office of
conscience, and the truth came out
The firms money, which George Gil
bert had lost, had been won by the Sc
nior partner; and the court instructed
the jury that, as the sum in question
had actually been delivered to one of
the joint owners, who was bound TO &C,

could not be convicted.

Edison Giving Up.

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger.
I am informed on authority almost
as reliable as that of Mr.. Edison him
self, that the inventor, after spending
so much valuable time and means On
the elaboration of his theory of electric
light, has dropped it, or has determined
to do SO, and has decided to adopt that
OF Mr.. Wallace, of Ansonia, Conn.,, who
has already constructed machine for
producing the light, and advanced
somewhat in the line Of solving the
great problem Of the division of the
same. It is called the ''carbon" theory,
while Mr.. Edison has held to the plati-
mum theory, whatever these terms may
imply. At any rate, the announcement,
some time ago, by the New York pa
pers, that Mr.. Eeison had solved his
great problem was a trifie premature.

Cox been acquitted instead of being found
guilty of murder to the full extent of the
