A correspondent Of tile London Times writes
from Tirnoya M follows:

Camels i'm Arizona.

Some two years since herd of camels
was driven to Yuma county, Arizona,
with the intent to render them servicable
in the Territory as beasts of burden. AS
the expectation formed of them was not
realized, they were turned loose by their
owners to roam eastward along the Gila
river at their own Illuminating Will. They
appear to have enjoyed their liberty, and
to have profited by it. Not only have
they thriven Us though they had beenin
their native Africa, but they have bred
literally, and seem to have become do
mesticated to the region. 1t is thought
that the new generation of camels will be
thoroughly acclimated, and used to the
alkaline waters peculiar to that section.
The waterless desert of Sonora, to the
south and southeast of Yuma county,
contains vast deposits of salt, sulphur,
borax and soda, with immense mineral
ores in the mountains. These camels
may yet be employed to advantage in
transporting those products, for they can
go without water as neither horses nor
mules can. AS is well known, the inside
of their second stomach and of u portion
of their first stomach is lined with cells
in which water is stored up and retained,
enabling them to endure long drought
1t would be singular if the rejected and
wandering camels should yet be found to
be the best means of developing the re-
sources of Sonora and much of the coun-
try roundabout. Nevertheless, it would
be only one of many instances in which
apparent accident has succeeded where
design has failed.

HThe Empire State."

A Brooklyn correspondent of the
Magazine of american History says: 1t is
known but to very few persons that the
name or soubriquet of the State of New
York, which is generally called the
" Empire State" is not assumed by our
citizens out of State pride, but was
given by General Washington,
The proof of this may be found in his
reply to the address of the Common
Council of the city of New York, signed
by James Duane, mayor, and dated the
I'd day of December, 1884. In this letter
he says: Il pray that heaven may
bestow its choicest blessing on your
city--that the devastation of war in
which you found it may soon be without
a trace. That well regulated and bene-
fetal commerce may enrichen your citi-
zens-and that your State Cat present
the seat of the empire) may set such ex-
amples of wisdom and liberality as shall
have Il tendency to strengthen and give
a permaAency to the Union at home
and credit and respectability to it
abroad"

Fun with the Bears,

Nobody who visits the Geological
Garden goes away without seeing the
bears, and from looking at them the
desire to see them eat is as natural as
second thought. There are three bear
pits containing altogether eight bears.
In the first pit are two cinnamon bears,
noted for their laziness and their dis
position for climbing the artificial trees
placed there for their benefit, and falling
asleep on the loftiest perch in the sun.
The next pit contains two huge grizzlies,
and the third four black bears. This
last pit is the chief center of interest.
The black bears stand on their hind legs
as erect as the stump of tree, fold their
fore paws across their breasts, and open
ing their mouths us wide as possible,
look UP at the spectators. mutely appeal
ing to them to drop something good in
them. This is the critical moment.
There is rush of men, women and
children for apples, peanuts, ginger
cakes, sugar-cakes and bananas, and the
bears throats become target for the
skill of old and young. 1t is like an ex-
citing game of baseball. When a pea
nut or ginger-cake is dropped into a
bears mouth, the feat is hailed with uni
versal applause. The bears are partial
to ginger-cakes.-Ph philadelphia Times.

A New Advertising Wrinkle.

The recent attempted assassination of
Edwin Booth recalls. an incident that
occurred while that tragedian was play
ing his last engagement in this city, and
which is the real origin of the rumor
that he intends never to visit the Pacific
coast again.
1t seems that one morning while Mr..
Booth was making his toilet in his room
at the Palace, the door quietly opened,
slid in and cheerfully bid the astonished
actor good morning.
"How's Hamlet to-dayp" said the
stranger, blandly. "'Fraid you wouldn't
see me if l sent my card up, SO just
dropped in informally, as it were"
$50 | see," said the only 'Iago.'
"What can do for youp"
"The fact is, Mr.. Booth" said the
visitor, hurriedly, q am the advertis-
ing agent for the Bazembees' Auction
house, on Market street. Cheapest
clothing-h house in the civilized world.

tising dodge or other. | attended your
performance last night, Mr.. Booth, and
it occurred to me if you would only in
troduce some mention of our establish
ment into your lines, we could afford to
pay very literally for it,"
Could, ehPn said the hope of the
American stage.
"Yes. You see you might gracefully
wedge in an frllusion to us here and there,
where it would seem kinder natural and
appropriate like. For instance, there's
Hamlet Instead of giving simply the
lines customary suits of solemn black,
YOU might add, the kind they sell at
Bazembees' for S24' That would sort of
nail the attention of the audience, seems
to me-"
81 should think so," said the star,
stealthily edging over toward a Roman
sword in the corner.
Il see you catch the idea," continued
the agent. Now, there's Romeo and
Juliet There's dead loads of good
chances in that. In the balcony scene
you might say, L would l wore one of
Bazembees' cheap dog-skin gloves upon
that hand that l might touch that
cheek"
You'd like that, would you ?" grimly
inquired Mr.. Booth, slowly unsheathing
the sword behind his back, and getting
in front of the door.
"Yes, sir; we shouldn't mind 800 a
night to have that done in first-class
style. Just think how it would make
trade boom down at our place to have
you thunder rs 'Othello = DESMOND,

thee at Bazembees', at six bits dozenP'
Why, sir, it would fairly"

tising, his hearse bore on each side t

grass, while one portion made desper-
ate rush and succeeded in getting posses
sion of q small hill commanding the
cattle laager. 1t was necessary to dis
lodge the enemy from the hill, and
Major Hackett and two companies of
the Ninetieth were sent out, and al
though they suffered severely they sue
ceeded in doing so, firing volley after
volley and at last charging the position
at the point of the bayonet. In bringing
back his men Major Hackett was fatally
wounded and Lieutenant Bright was
killed. During all this time fighting
had been going on all round, and party
of Zulus made desperate rush and got
into the cattle lager, driving company
of the Thii teenth out of it. They, how
ever, gallantly reformed and gallantly
drove back the enemy at the point of
the bayonet. The artillery all the while
had been pouring grape and canister
into the Zulus with murderous pre-
cision. By about s o'clock the enemy
evidently began to see we were not to
be taken, and began to slacken their fire,
ultimately retiring altogether. At $50
p. NJ. they had fired their last shots and
began to retreat, and the cavalry and
horse artillery were sent after them.
Terrible execution was the result, and
no quarter was shown. Exeter Hall
may say what it may, but it was death
to every Zulu who came within range
of the carbine of a trooper OF the stroke
of his saber. The cavalry pursued them
for about ten miles, returning to camp
at dusk. The few native allies we had
left did terrible work in this pursuit,
and it was difficult for our officers to re-
call them to return. AS they cut off and
dispatched the retreating Zulus the cry
of " Isandhlwana" resounded in the
evening air.

Deal Gently with the stomach.

If it proves refractory, mild discipline is the
thing to set it right Not all the nauseous
draughts and boluses ever invented can do half
as much to remedy its disorders as few wine
glassiuls-say, three day-ot Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which will afford it speedy
and bilious symptom. Sick headache, ner-
vousness, sallowness of the complexion, fur
upon the tongue, vertigo and those many in
describable and disagreeable sensations caused
by indigestion, are too often perpetuated by
injudicious dosing. An immediate abandon
ment of such random and ill-advised expert
ments should be the first step in the direction
OF cure; the next step the use OF this stand
ard tonic Alternative, which has received the
highest medical sanction and won unprece,
dented popularity.
