ltun Loring's "a Confederate Soldier IN
Egypt
This IS accomplished as follows. A
Bedouin by divers jerks first succeeds in
eoaxing or forcing the animal down on
his knees. with q snap like that of q
double bladed jackknife. While one
holds his head away to keep: him from
biting, another ties his fore-legs to-
getber, and then to secure them stands
upon them, inviting you to mount and
FIX yourself in the execrable saddle. In
the meantime the dromedary is utter
ing the most agonizing cries of distress.
Suddenly the Bedouin looses. the strap
and bounds from the animals legs; an
other terrible grunt and you discover
that you are on top of this living ma
chine, waiting patiently furtherdevelop-
ments, with your hands grasping the
horns In front. The animal raises his
forequarters with bound. and this
sticks the front horn into your stomach
while you are pressing upon it to keep
IN a horizontal position; that done, up
go the hind quarters with another jerk,
and this time the rear horn sticks you
in the back. You are only too glad to
get the rear punch in token of the COM
plete business. While the animal was
opening his hinges I was thoroughly
impressed with the dizziness of several
hundred feet. It is best not to strike
these beasts too much, for if beaten
they are certain to stand still and de-
liberately turn their long necks and try
to bite piece out Of yourlegs. Itthen
becomes necessary to stick to them, in
order to avoid their fury, until, by gem
tie patting, they are made to move on
amicably again. Their walk is rough,
but they trot with comparative case,
carrying the head up and tail straight
in the air, and looking very gay as they
rapidly move along. With your sack
of water and leather thong they can,
without much inconvenience, travel
from so to so miles day. But in max
ing this swift passage through the
heated air, reflected from the burning
sands, you are literally roasted, and
this rubbing and twisting your loins
and CALLING your hands in the effort to
hold on, makes dromedary riding a
painful operation to those not accus-
toned to it.

The Cholera
From the Boston Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller
A noted German physician predicts
that the cholera, which started in the
south Of Europe. will extend over both
continents. Thirty years ago the same
prediction was made, but little heed
was taken to it. The Spring of 1854
was similar to the spring of 1Ss4-late
and cold. The cholera reached New
Orleans some time in June, swept up
the Mississippi river to Cairo, divided
there and swept on in the direction up
the Ohio river to the Wabash, then fol-
lowed the Wabash river and the Wabash
canal through Indiana and Ohio till it
reached Lake Erie. From this point
it swept onward to Buffalo, Niagara
Falls and Detroit, decimating many of
the cities and towns along its march,
causing business to be suspended and
putting an entire stop to work on the
great railroads then in pro-
cess OF construction. At Ogdens-
burg, on Lake Ontario, or
rather at its outlet, the St. Lawrence,
it received check. The seaboard cit
les which suffered so seriously in 1882
and 1849 escaped. The cause and
the course Of the cholera are alike
mysterious satisfactory explanation
has yet been given. That it exists is
sufficient. But that it can be stayed
in its course and checked in it's progress
by timely precautions is equally true.
August and September are the months
which in this latitude it finds it's great
est feeder, and too much care and pre-
caution on the part Of those who control
the sanitary department in our great
cities can not be taken. An unobstruct-
ed flow through the sewers and drains
is one important measure for prevention ;
the constant cleanliness of the streets
another, and compulsory cleanliness en-
forced in quarters where the population
is dense and ventelation poor, still an
other. It would be surprising to those
not familiar with the subject to know
what foulness can arise from small To-
cality in a large city to spread disease
and death through all its territory.

Montana has over $4,000, 900 acres
within her boundaries, OF which TO-
100000 acres are fine lands, suitable
for agriculture or grazing. Nearly co.
600, 900 are mountainous, but among
these 2O.OOO,OOO acres are located
some of herichest mining camps in the
world.
Tons of arsenic are being fed to the
grasshoppers in California. One drug

Halfpenny dinners can be obtained
in London, consisting of rich stew
made OF the best quality of potatoes,
carrots, onions, oatmeal, and meat
and a second course OF bread and jam.
About the rankest instance of hori-
zontal reduction is cited in the case Of
tribe of Indians in Santa Barbara
county, Cal, which fifty years ago
numbered 4, 600 souls, and now num-
bers one old and feeble squaw.
In California one sees the vineyards
and orchards creeping up the moun-
tain sides from 1000 to $500 feet
high, and some at even greater alti-
tudes. Dwelling houses are perched
upon elevations where few years ago
no one would havetaken the land as q
gilt under an agreement to cultivated.
These newvinevards Ind orchards are.
the last to be overtaken by any Of the
pests found at lower elevations.

The Course of True Love.

From the Heral dsburg (Cal.) Enterprise.
+ 1t was one day last week, and in the
city OF Cloverdale, that weddinghad
been given out to take place; all the
necessary preparations had, been made
and the guests had all assembled, when
10 and behold! it was discovered that
the license had been issued by the Clerk
of Mendocino county, in place of So
noma::< It had so happened that one
OF Healdsburg's ministers had been en-
gagged and was on the ground ready to
perform the ceremony, and it can be
better imagined than described the
CONSERVATION that was prod when
the divine informed the contracting
parties that a marriage license issued
in Ukiah was not just the proper au-
thority to perform the marriage scere-
'mony in Cloverdale; as that burg hap
pened to be in another county. At
this time the dinner. was almost on the
table, and many Of the guests
were standing on their tiptoe OF ex-
element, and what was to be done
was on the tongue of every one. The
thoughtful minister informed them
that it was only three miles to the
EMendocino county line, and when that
point was passed the existing docu-
lnent would assume legal authority.
As soon as these words hadfallenf from
the minister's lips a rush for the livery
stables commenced, and teams follow
ed teams in quick succession until all
the guests were on flying wheels in Che
direction OF Mendocino line. When
this was crossed and a friendly shade
had been found, the party alighted
and the happy couple were made one.
Then all returned to the place where
the tables were loaded with the choic-
est dainties OF the land. a lasting ex-
ample was impressed upon the minds
OF those present that three miles make
q wonderful distance when ON the
wrong side Of the county line.

Cause Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia, with rare exceptions, ex-
tends from the lungs to the lining mem
brane Of the chest pleura), and hence
is really pleuro-pneumonia. It's seat is
not the mucous membrane of the bron-
chial tubes, as is that of bronchitis; nor
the general substance of the lungs, as is
that of lung fever, but the air cells and
the neighboring minute tubes Cbronchi-
oles), which are wholly destitute of a
mucous membrane. Sometimes it is al
most an epidemic. It often attacks
more than one member of the family.
Pleuro-pneumonia among horses is a
very. contagious disease, and has some
times gone through the land, bringing
ordinary business to stand still.
What is the cause of pneumonia :?
One medical writer says that neither
colds, bronchitis, pleurisy, asthma, nor
any other lung affection induces it.;
that, in large proportion of cases, is
not referable to any obvious causative
agency, that, when it appears to follow
exposure to cold, it is probable that
this acts only as an exciting cause, CO.
operating with the action of special
cause"
What is this special cause? This
question has received no answer until
recently. German investigators Of the
highest character believe they have at
length found it in microscopic para
site, thus placing pneumonia among the
germ diseases. The parasites are oval,
generally go in pairs, and, unlike all
others, enclose themselves several to-
gether in capsule
On cultiyating them out Of the body,
insulating them in fluid, and injecting
little Of the fluid into thirty two mice,
all of the mice died, in from eighteen
to forty hours, Of pneumonia, while the
blood showed the peculiar parasites
with their characteristic capsules. Ex-
periments By means Of inhalation exhib-
tied the same results. Different inves-

tigators, seem to have confirmed the
discovery.
Later experiments show that the
lungs Of animals which have died of
pleuro-pneumonia contain the same
parasites in large numbers, and that
the disease is necessarily the same with
pneumonia in man. Youths Compan-
ion.

An Incident of Grant and STAN
ton.

Washington Letter to New York World.
Senator Morgan, OF Alabama,
in speaking of the magnamimity
of Gen. Grant, related the follow
ing, of which he was personally cog
infant: Clement G. Clay, said he, was
appointed by the Confederate Govern
ment as a Diplomatic Commissonert to
Canada. He was afterward taken and
carried, | believe, to Fortress Monroe,
where he was imprisoned. He was
dying at the time, it was thought, OF
asthma, and his wife came here to ask
his release on giving the required bond.
She went to President johnson, and
he gave her the necessary order which
she took back to Secretary Stanton.
Stanton road the order, and, looking
her in the face, tore it up without
word and pitched it into his waste
basket. The lady arose and retired
without speaking; nor did Stanton
speak to her. She Was filled with des-
pair. She saw her husband, in whom
her life was wrapped up, dying in pris-
on, and she was unable to help him.
Shortly after she met a gentleman, I
think Mr.. Garland, the present Attor-
ney General, and told him how she
had been treated. "Your husband
was commissioned by the Confederate
Government a Brigadier General, said
Garland; 81 was presentsat the time.
l know that he duly qualified and re-
ceived his commission. That brings
him within Gen. Grants parole to the
Confederate army. Yougo to himand
tell him your story. Mrs. Clay went
straight to Gen. Grants house, but
was told that the General was just
about to leave for New York. She
asked to send in word to him, and the
servant took her name In about
minute Gen. Grant appeared, gripsack
in hand, and told her that he had but
time to catch the train.
"Then Twill walk with you, General"
the lady said.
s'No, no." said Grant, 'let's hear
what you want to say"

there. President Johnson gave me an
order for his release on bond. car

went to Mr.. Stanton and presented

bell and, handing the paper to his aid,
said: ''Have that man discharged.
