The LIGHT's most respected friend, the
Blanco Star Vindicator, places too much
stress on an item in the LIGHT abiding
to.the statement made by Gov. Ireland
that pardon could be expected for the
man who killed fence-cutter. This
statement Is not, nor cannot be denied,
and when we take into consideration
the wide range of fence-cutting and
the great body Of sympathizers, which
is evidenced by only one conviction and
sentence to the Penitentiary, 1t would
look little difficult for Mr.. Ireland TO
expect any sympathy or votes from
them, whether openly or secretly. Be-
cause the Governor was so indiscreet as
to make the statement il no reason why
1t should be ignored or use made Of 1t by
the opposition to him. The Star vindi-
Gator no doubt appreciates the fact that
sentiment as applied to politics is I'M
known, and that the sayings and actions
OF men In position Is what works for
their veal or their woe. The LIGHT at
tempts to tote fair in all political dis
cussions, and will give credit where
credit is due at all times, but the Star
Vindicator ought to know that the
LIGHT could not lnclte the fence-cutters
against the Governor without cause.
especially when they are unknown, indi-
vidually or collectively.

About Camels.

A writer says: "The camel IL the
most perfect machine on four legs that
we have any knowledge Of" A sacred
treasure, indeed, to the Arab is this
"pudding-footed pride of the desert"
The expression on the face of camel
is rather pathetic His eyes are large
and liquid, and above them are deep
cavities large enough to hold a hens
egg. The aquiline nose. with long,
slanting nostrils that he can close
tig tly against the sand storms and hot,
burning winds of the desert, give very
sorrowlul e preston to the face The
under lip is pouting and puckering, and
YOU are not at all surprised when the
poor beast bursts into tears and cries
long and loud like a vexed child.
The feet OF the camel are Of verv
singular construction, with o tough,
elastic sole, soft and spongy as they
fall moi elessly on the earth and spread
out under lis tottering weight. This
form of the foot pr vents tie annual
from sinkin. in he sand, and he is very
sure! looted on all sorts of ground.
The average rate of travel for cara
van is between two and three miles an
hour; and the camel jogs Oh, hour
after hour. at the same pace, and seems
to he. almost as fresh at night as in the
morning when he started on his travels.
The Arabians say OF the camel: "Job's
lJtast is monument of iod's mercy"
The camel sheds his hair regularly
once year, and carpets and tent-cloths
are made from it; it is also woven into
cloth. Some of it is exceedingly fine
and soft, though it is usually coarse
and rough, and is used for making coats
for the shepherds aud camel-drivers;
and huge water bottles, leatherssacks,
also sandals, ropes. and thongs are
made of its skin.

The ARAB AND Hrs HoEsE.-The
Arabians never beat their horses; they
never cut their tails; they treat them
gently; they speak to them and seem to
hold q discourse; they use them as
friends; they never attempt to increase
their speed by the whip, or spur them,
but in cases Of great necessity. They
never fix them to q stake in the fields,
but suffer them to pasture at large
around their habitatious; and they come
running the moment they hear the
sound Of their masters voice. In conse-
quence OF such treatment these animals
become docile and tractable in the
highest degree. They resort ct night
to their tents, and lie down in the
midst Of the children, without even
hurting them in the slightest manner.
The little boys and girls are often seen
upon the body or neck Of the mare.
while the beasts continue inofensivs
and harmless, permitting them to play
with and caress them without injury.

That Wretched Drink.

Rev. Ernest Wilberforce, Bishop OF
Newcastle. is an eloquent and persist
ent advocate Of total abstinence. Now
and then, from sense of duty, he ar
rays himself in well-worn clothes and
goes a out incognito among the poor
and criminal classes on tours of obser-
walton. On one such occasion he was
riding in third-class railway carriage
of which the only other occupant was a
pitman. The latte, viewing the Bish-
ops clerical but "seedy" garmen!a, re-
marked, Use war'nt ye're poor curate,
moo, travelin' i the likes O. huz?" Il
once was, my friend" remarked the
Bishop. "but-" "Oh, aye, 1 see!"
cried the other, in oil good faith, "that
wretched drink! Aye, aye! Too bad!
The incident-without naming the
Bishop-has since formed the topic of
q cartoon in P,Inch.-Ne,r Fork Trib-
uNe.

The Largest Arsenal In the World.

The greatest mandatory and store
house of cannons and war materials is
Woolwich Arsenal. It has within it's in
closure 280 acres OF land, Of which some
16O are covered with buildings. When
IL full operation it employs Is, 600 per-
sons. The amount of ammunition stored
there is immense, and cannon can be
counted by the hundred. In the store
house stock OF $4,000 cavalry saddles
are kept constantly on hand, with cor
responding amount of horse e-shoes. nails.
halters. traces, collars, harness for trans
:portation trains. etc. One of the most
interesting sights is the manufacture of
st1fied cannon, the very processes Of
which are going on in different shops all
the time. These range in size from
three FOUNDERS to 1O9-tonners, and the
machinery required to make and handle
them is very heavy. the largest forging
hammers having GOO tons force. The
steel coils OF tie cannon arc made from
steel bars, the largest OF which are 800
feet long and a toot thick. These are
coilel III a spiral by heavy, but nicely
working machine, and are welded to-
gether by the heavy hammers as per-
fectly as an ordinary piece Of iron in
blacksmi'h's shop, and with compar-
s'esHly few blows. The machinery used
,.,le Of the best in the country, and
rrtch Of il MAS made in Manchester.
One lathe room has over an acre of
space, closely filed in with 1000 lathes,
and busy sight is to see them ail in
motion. Onc machine for the manufact-
ure Of fixed umunltion turns out $50
cartridge moltls every revolution, and
has the capacity of $50, daily. The
several shops and buildings are con.
nected with railways for moving ma
terial. These aggregate . great many
miles.
