KING OF THE CAnELs.
How Heenan FOiIed Two tow
E5ys, and R0uied an
Indian Village
Nashville American. q.

There is an animal in s. II. Barrett
4 Co. menagerie that has history.
His name is Heenan, though he is
commonly called BY the man that
green's HIM Sam" Tor short. Heenan
is a camel, aud the lSrgest one ever
seen in this country, and is notable
not only on account Of his hize, but
because Of two other facts. First,
because he was brought with q herd
OF fourteen others from Asia. and in.
troduced into New Mexico by the
United States government, with
view TO utilizing them 10 transporting
the mails across the great American
desert.
The second reason is best told by
one Of Heenan's keepers, who got Il
from Mexican COW boy. The COW boy
said that when the government gave
up using the Camels to transport the
mails, they turned them loose on the
buffalo grass. The COW boy, Jack
White, and his friend, NeilMcCarthy,
thought camel hair would make good
lassoes; in fact; would be much better
material for that purpose than plated
and rolled buffalo hide.
The spring was just opening no.
and Heenan's hair, (his winter coat
was very long, So the cowboys mount.
cd their ponies and visited the herd
which was grazing on the hillside near
q small mountain stream. They had
miHcalculsted upon one fact, however.
Cancels, thought very gentle natured
during three seasons Of the year, are
very bad tempered in the spring, and
another peculiar fact -namely, that
they are possessed Of very bad breaths
at all timos-tent the cowboys good
intentions 70 pave that place where 30
many others had been utilized for
that purpose before, One Of the COW
boys had armed himself with pair OF
sheep shears and a lariAt, and the other
with lasso. Zach White had tho
lasso, and was 10 throw il around
Heenan's long neck and throw him
down, after which Neil Mccarthy was
to tie his legs together, and he was 10

THE recent decision against the
Civil Rights Bill was not delivered by
any Confederate brigadiers, or rebel
generals, or Northern copperheads, or
Southern kuklux or Bourbons. Oh,
mol 1t was handed down by Judge
Bradley, enc Of the clearest headed
men and brightest lights and bitterest
partisans in the Republican party.
But withal that he retains his repzta-
tion as . lawyer and jurist, which he
knows will be tested by the strictest
standards in this country and in
Europe. The court simply voiced the
intelligent verdict Of mankind, and it
could not have done less. 1t may be
said that the Supreme Court has as
serted itself as superior to the behests
Of party or faction, aud has come
down at last to strict legal construc'
ton. That this decision is strictly
in accordance with law. no one COM
petent to form an opinion has yet
dared to question. There is no par
ticular help for it that we can see,
and those who imagine they are az
grieved can move into the Territories.
But, as matter of fact. there is not
one intelligent eOlOred person in 3
hundred that cares anything about it.
The State laws already protect them
sufficiently, and they get along as well
as white psOpls of the same means
and education. No law will ever
again be passed to place one class
above another upon sR artificial basis.
The platform Of two mules and forty
acres Of land will never again distract

Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1883-01-17

The sparse and scattered condition of
the population on the Pacific coast has made
trading facilities small and limited, except in
a few large towns and cities. People have
had to content themselves with the high
prices and poor assortments of the country
merchants Within the last few years, how
ever there has been marked change, and
we should hardly dare to guess how great a
business is being done now THROUGH THE
MAILS with city dealers.
This trade is largely shared by Eastern
Merchants They are sending deliberately
illustrated Catalogues and Samples every
where There is not hamlet on the coast
which is not getting its share of these books
almost daily. With these Eastern Houses
we come in direct competition
We too, are sending out thousands of
PRICE LISTS and SAMPLES OF
GOODS, and there is reason to believe
that nearly all who get our books are
acquainted with these Eastern Merchants
and regularly receive Catalogues, etc, from
them There can be no doubt, however, of
one fact-that our goods and prices are con-
stant1y being put side by side, and carefully
compared with Eastern prices and Eastern
goods Thus we have not only the mer-
chants of Sacramento for competitors, but
others much more powerful than they-those
who have the world for their market; and the
best proof that our prices and goods ARE
RIGHT, is the large increase of our trade from
individuals and localities formerly supplied
by New York, Philadelphia or Chicago
dealers.
What has thus far been written would
hardly be of interest to Sacramento people,
were it not for the fact that the goods which
are winning such a success for us in the
country are IDENTIcALLY the same as those
sold over the counter, while the ONE
PRICE SYSTEM is a guarantee that
prices are the same. If we had two prices,
or did not sell outside of Sacramento the
facts presented above would be of little
value but as it is, we think they present
reasonable proof of what has so often been
said in regard to the advantages gained in
trading at this Establishment.
