WILD CAMEIS IN ARIZONA.

1t is not generally known that
Camcl4 roam over the desert wastes of
Central and Southern Arizona, but il
is n fact, nevertheless. Many years
ago--Wc believe il was III iSr;--n
number of Cam"t5 were imported into
Texas for use on th" western plains,
where the aCorcling rays of the sun
poured down on the sandy desert, and
where water was to hr had only ut
long intervals. We are not advised nq
to the success Of the Undertaking on
the plains Of Texas. The war coming
on, the camciG WcrC either sold or al
lowed 10 roam nj large, and n portion
Of them found their way into Arizona,
and were used FOR u Time in carrying
freight across th" California desert: but
from some cause or other, perhaps from,
Il want Of knowledge IA to the Jrculiar
habits OF the animal, they did not prove
profitable, and were turned luuac on
the Giia and Salt ttivcr bottoms
where they continue to remain. The
OLD camrl9 have brought forth young
| and multiplied, until now they roam
along the lower GiIa in lnr2" numbers,
and Scrm to be ccntcnt"d and happy.
! Tho old ones arc siill tame, but the
! younger generation j. 4 little 'hy, not
/ having been accustomed (" tn" way
! Of men. The country "r"ms to be
peculiarly adapted tn thc camel, and
We have no doubt th"y will continue

BISMARCK IN DEBATE.

Prince Won Bismarck, without being
an orator, has Iorcc, and, i'll ways that
aro characteristic, often succeeds in
managing ucliherativc bodies. In tho
he was defending measure FOR equal
iZing taxation, and auduccd the exam
pie OF France, where his plan was, rs
he claimed, very successful. An OK
change translates the following convcr-
sation
Bisnarck-l am told, in reply to
my previous statements, that living is
very dear in Paris. l answer by ask
ing \ question Of any man who has
actually lived in Paris, "Is living dear
there? ~
Cries on all sidrs-Hcs, yrs, yes; very
dear!
BismarclS-rhat depends upon what
sort OF life ono lives mt Paris, aud what
pleasures ono seeks. lGreat Laughter !
For my part, l declare that l can 1.-Two
cheaper there than here, oven in fur
nishcd rooms. And | call to witness
every workman who has lived in Paris
if am not right iii saying that he can
live there both better than he can live in
Berlin. In truth, there are too many
progrCssivrs in the government of Bcr-
lin. When ] read the names of certain
members, l seem to fool Il progressive
wind blow over me.
n DCputy-That is inSnlcncr!
Observation-Disclosures is an insolrnt
expression. [rumuit of applause, his
Sos and cries of order.
The Ircsidcut-Wa the word .sinso-
lcncc' pronounced l did not hear
perfectly.
Many Noiccs-Ncs yes!
Bismarck-Yrs pointinS with his
iingcr}, in that part Of the chamber
over there II member who has no
Shame used the word.
The Prcsi.icnt-l regret not to have
heard it. I should have iutcrposcd with
the utmost severity.
Bismarl1-I hope that the gentleman
will give his name.
Herr StruVC--H was | who pro-
nounccd the word III question.
Tho f'rcsidcnt--Thc Deputy ;Struve
acknowledges that he spoke the works,
"That is insolcncc." l call him to
order. Applause from the Cnnscrvn-
tivcs.
Herr StruVr--i ask the President
who called me to order for pro-
nOuncinG the word "insOlcnrr," what
course hc intends to adopt with respect
to th" Chancellor, who said that the
word was uttered by one "wAn had no
shamc"' l.\pp'auS" from ,h" ls,di-
Gals.
Bismarck my own Justification,
| will say that l spoke that work hr-
fore Deputy sItruvc had had the good
ness to name himself Now that he
has done so, Withdraw the cNprca-
sion, and ada that the deputy, ut the
present moment, ,IocS certainly know
what shame ii. ',rara Of laughter
from all sides.

SNAKE RITES.

Mr.. Abel Sion, of Ioollcrville, Bur-
ular Science, says;
In your issue Of March 10th, thestate-
ment is Matic hy Il scientific contrih,,-
tor that no true anti,lote has been
found for the bite of vcnomous snakes.
While this may be true Of the snakes
of the whole world, believe that as to
those OF the United States there ia AN
antidotc. There are very many poison
otas snakes in this part Of Texas, and a
| snake bitten person is not hard to find
hero. Many remedies are used, but
the really only satisfactory one, and
yet tho ono that is the best known, is
the use of alum, the dose Of which ia
about hcaping large tcaspoonful. l
have heard of many more. Tho eight
cases referred to comprise six different
species of snake, namcly-thc largerat-
tlcsnakc, tho water moccasin, tho
ground ratticsnaisc the spreading adder
and the blunt-tailcd moccasin, by far
the most venomous snake in this
country. Alum was used in all OF the
eight eases with tho greatest satisfaction
and the best OF results, although Gas il
! claimed in tho article referred toy the
each species.
In ono of the cases, ! myself was the
