The camel has served other purposes
than those of commerce and religion ;
be has been pressed into the service Of
warlike sovereigns, and employed not
only to carry the luggage of their
armies, but to draw scythed chariots
and to carry bowmen and swordsmen.
The legions of Xerxes suffered by their
camels being carried away by lions in
the night, and Cyrus defeated Cresus
by crafty taking advantage of the an
tipathy the horse bears to the camel.
He mounted some of his soldiers on
camels, and ordered them to charge the
famous Lydian light horse. The
chargers of the latter, rendered ungov-
ernable by fear, fled from the field, and
with them the hopes of the wealthiest OF
monarchs. The time is possibly not
far distant when the camel will be
superseded by the great iron horse but
as long as the Arab finds in him use
full servant, meat, drink, clothing and
fuel, we need not wonder at the faith OF
the true believer, who expects to find a
white-winged camel awaiting him as he
steps out of his sepulchre to convey his
soul to paradise. brooklyn Eagle.

The Unmannerly Pig of the Boarding
House.

mouse.
A person frequently met with at the
seaside is the clearinghouse pig. The
breakfast bell has hardly sounded
when you see him scuttling down the
stairs, pushing and jostling every one;
when you reach the room he is already
seated; he has gathered two or three
eggs, some bacon and sundry and divers
other articles around his plate, but still
he is not happy; he watches the door
with breathless interest-there are
always one or two delicious little dishes
brought in delightfully."- hot at the last
moment; perhaps it is kidneys, perhaps
chops and mushrooms; anyway the pig
wants them.
The waiter and dish appear-the pig
gets wonderfully agitated; the waiter
comes nearer and nearer-the pig
watches him eagerly and calls his name;
the coveted dish is put down two or
three persons away from him; he signs
and leans forward.
Mr.. Grey" he SAYS, may | trouble
you for those kidneys? rer-I'mm, y
smiling, particularly partial to them.
SO if you would be so kind
Mr.. Grey. perhaps, replies that others
nearer to him are also partial to them,
and the dish is cleared before the pig
face, the blood surges up into his head,
and his eyes grow watery with vexation.
He falls to on his eggs, etc, still keep
ing sharp lookout at the door; when
the next dish appears he starts up,
leaves his seat, relieves the waiter of his
burden and returns to his place
triumphant He invariably eats with
surprising rapidity, tucks the end of his
serUiette as rule into the top button
hole of his waistcoat, and pushes his
plates into the middle of the table as. he
finishes with them. The other visitors
hate and circumvent him on every pos
sible occasion; the walters loathe him;
but for all that, by his own untiring ex-
ertions, the tidbits generally find their
way to his plate. 1Snsley's Magazine.

Something About the Latest Rachet-A

Minneapolis is a great place to get stuck
on any thing and run it to death,' yesterday
remarked one of the numerous pop corn
merchants who are seen about the city. "It's
just like roller skating. Some Que starts
something new and everybody takes hand
until it is run out Last summer two men
made a good deal of money selling red hot
wiener-wurst sausages on the streets, but
it wasn't great while before there was a
dozen of 'em yelling 'red-hots' at the cor
ners on Washington avenue. The result was
that everybody got tired and the two men that
have hung out through the winter are COM
PEELED to eat their own sausages or starve,
and l guess they would just as lief do the
one thing as the other. few weeks ago
two OF US started out to sell buttered pop
corn, and were making little money. In
a week there were four more who went into
the business, and now there are eight that
l know of who go to the same places I do.
No, don't pop my own corn. buy it for
three cents bag and sell it for five cents.
l tried to make it, but couldn't. There's
man here who makes it better than any
one else can, and he has the 'sinch' on his
corn-always tastes better. There's some
secret about making it that he's got hold of
and we can't get on to it. A man who worked
for him couple of weeks thought he was on
to the process and quit to go into the manu-
featuring himself 1t didn't take US long to
find out that We couldn't sell his corn, SO we
gave it up, and went to work again for the
original pop corn man. I wish 1 could find
out how be does it, but he's careful that
don't-works in room shut up by himself
and you'd think he was making counterfeit
money by the care he takes to be sure that no
one sees him. What do / call a
good days sale? WE'LL about hundred
bags. l used to sell that much right along
at first, but don't do it now. Two men have
gone over to st. Paul and they're making
more money than all of us here put together,
but l don't suppose it'll be long before every
Jim crow hawker in the town will be in the
pop corn business, and then there won't be
anyone making money!
