prophecies of and concerning this magazine

A Camel'S Revenge.

A valuable camel, working in an oil-mill in
Africa was severely beaten by its driver. Per-
ceiving that the camel had treasured up the
injury and was only waiting for favorable
opportunity for revenge, he kept strict watch
upon the animal. Time passed away the ami
NAL, perceiving that it was watched, was quiet
and o5edient, and the driver began to think
that the beating was forgotten, when one
night, after the lapse of several months the
man was sleeping upon raised platform in
the mill, while, as customary, the camel was
stabbed in corner. Happening to awake, the
driver observed by the bright moonlight that
when all was quiet, the animal looked eau
tiously around, rose softly, and stealing toward
the spot where bundle of clothes and ber-
nous, thrown carelessly on the ground, resem-
bling sleeping figure, cast itself with violence
upon them, rolling with all its weight and
tearing them most viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that his revenge was complete the
camel was returning to its corner, when the
driver sat up and spoke. At the sound of his
voice, and perceiving the mistake it had made.
the animal was so mortified at the failure and
discovery of its scheme that it dashed its head
against the wall and died on the spot

About Five Young Men.
N. Y. Public.]


In the darkest year of the war, five young
men were sworn in as newly elected represen-
tives in the Thirty-eighth Congress. James
A. Garfield was 80 years of age, and born in
Cuyahoga county, Ohio; James G. Blaine was
33, and born in Pennsylvania; William B.
Allison was "a, and born in Perry, Ohio; James
T. Wilson was So, and born in Newark, Ohio;
and William Window was 36, and born in
Belmont, Ohio Mr.. Window alone had
served before; all the others then entered Con.
gress for the first time. Four were born in
Ohio, though the five then represented four
different States. They came to know each
other well. The fierce struggle of civil war,
the glories of victory, the anxieties and doubts
of reconstruction, they shared together. To-
day the youngest of the five is President. The
next in years, his former Speaker, becomes his
Secretary of State. The Oldest in years and
service becomes his Secretary of the Treasury,
because the third in years declined. And the
fifth member of this group, Mr.. Wilson of
Iowa, will probably take the seat in the Sem
ate vacated by Iowa's War-Governor Kirk
wood, who becomes President Garfeld's Sec
retary of the Interior. With two in the Sem
ate, two in the Cabinet, and one in the White
House, the little party of five young men of
1868 will have some part in the government.

recently travelled through that part of the

velopment. He would preserve the distinc-

The nomination of w. H. Robertson as
Collector OF the Port of New York, cannot
fail to be exceedingly offensive to Senator
Conkling. Judge Robertson has not only
been longtime opponent of the Senator,
but was the leader of that part of the New

which broke from the instructions of the
State convention and voted for Mr. Blaine
instead of Gen. Grant.

WITH all its other troubles Nevada is
threatened with grasshopper plague this
summer. The Virginia New Chroni Gle
says that the farmers in Carson City Valley
have suspended their spring blowing to
consider the matter. They found that they
were turning up perfect beds of grasshop-
pers' eggs, and not desiring to help hatch
those pernicious insects they quit their
work. The farmers are in quandary. If
they do not cultivate their ground they will
have no crop, and if they do cultivate the
grasshoppers will eat up the crops before
they can be harvested. Many of the farm
ers will put in no crops this season.

Quitcan exciting scene occurred to-day
In the room of Postmaster-Gcneral James.
1t grew out Of long-standing contest as to
the Govanstown post-oflice, Baltimore
County The postmaster died some time
since, and numerous applications for the
Office have been filed and numerous petit
TONERS for the vacancy have bored the De-
partment.
To settle the subject of the successor of
the deceased postmaster, Special Agent
VIM. Il. Henderson, of the Post-office De-
partment was sent to Govanstown to look
into the matter. Mr.. Henderson very SEN
sibly ended the affair by allowing the citi-
zens Of tho township to select by vote,
their own postmaster, and they chose Mr..
| Norris. To-day, before the report of the
special agent had even heen read by the
Postmaster General, Mr.. Bhrleigh, a lawyer
of Baltimore County, and attorney for the
widow of the deceased postmaster, acting
| in her interests to obtain the vacancy
for her, appeared at the Post-ofiice Depart
mcnt denouncing the report Of the special
agent to the Postmaster General.
| Mr.. Henderson, who was present, met
Burleighs attack in q vigorous manner.
He charged him with being paid attorney
by the widow of the deceased. This Mr..
Burleigh denied but Henderson proved ii
concusively, and characterized him point
blank as "a liar and no gentleman"
That settled the matter, md Mr.. Bur

HOWGATE AGAIN,
Hc IL Called to Plead TO the
Last Indictment. and Failissg 60
Give BniI Goes Mnck tM JNlh

Give Bail Goes Hack tW JNit,
The Criminal Court WAS given up en-.
tircly to-day to Capt, Henry W. Howgate
and his ariaignmcnt. lie was brought up
from the Jail by Deputy Marshal Stahl, and
came into the courtroom shortly after
Justice Cox opened court. District At
torney Corkhill occupied his usual place,
and Judge Jcre Wilson, Judge +. p. Cuppy
and Mr.. A. B. Williams, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, with their client.
The imprisonment does not sccm to have
changed the appearance of the Captain, and
the only complaint made by him Is against
tho close confinement. He is u great
walker and being deprived Of his exercise
causes him much regret, and he believes is
injurious to his health. At the request of
the District Attorney the Captain was
arraigned on the three indictments recently
found against him for forgery, which were
published in THE CRITIC last Wednesday.
The aggregate amount claimed to have
been taken from the Government by this
process Is $36. $50. 10, and IL Is alleged that
the Captain converted the same to his own
use. He pleaded pro forma not guilty to
the three indictments, his counsel reserving
the right to withdraw the plea at any time
they might wish, for the purpose of inter-
posing motion to quash the Indictment.
When the reading of the papers
had been concluded, Mr.. Wilson,
Of the counsel for the defendant, said that
IL was scarcely necessary he should present
the facts of the case to the Court, MS that
was done few days since. 1t was import
ant that the defendant should give bail in
order to be out and prepare himself for trial.
They were embarrassed by what had al
ready happened, and in order to get them
selves in position to give bail they must
,,atr vii Of hon fnrt,ar1x ,rty That
bond was secured by deed of trust which
could not be released so long as the bond
stood and they wished it Cancelled.
Mr.. Williams stated that he was author
lied by the bondsmen to surrender Capt.
Howgate to the Court, which he did, and
asked that this fact be stated on the bond
and records Of the court.
Judge Cuppy said that all of the prop
erty of their client was attached by the
Government, and it had full possession of
it. Under these circumstances it would be
extremely difficult for them to give bail.
Col. Corkhill, interrupting, said that he
was not prepared to discuss the subject of
bail at that time. He did not know that
it was intended to discuss it. He had not
asked for bail under these three indict-
ments, and he hoped that a time would be
set when the other side could come In,
make their application and argument could
be heard upon it.
Judge Cuppy understood that there was
another indictment.
SIS there another to Gomez" asked the
Judge.
Col. Corkhill said he thought there was
no secret being revealed when he stated
that another indictment for embezzlement
of $4,000 would be found and probably be
brought in by Wednesday next. The delay
