Reports from various portions of
the state, where harvesting has been

SagaCity of the Camel.

The camels with which are travelled
the most remote parts of the desert
were very different in their ways an
habits from those which you get on a
frequent route. They were never led.
There was not the slightest sign of II
track in this part of the desert. but the
camels never failed to choose the right
line. BY the direction taken at first
starting, they seemed to know the point
(ssms encampmcnt) for which they
were TO make. There is always IA lead
ing camel, generally the oldest, who
marches foremost. and determines the
path for the whole party. If it hap
pens that not one of the camclS has
been accustomed to lead the others,
there is very great difficulty in making
Il start. If you force your beast for
ward for Il moment, he will continue
to wheel and draw back, ut the same
time looking 1T one of the other cam
els with an expression and gesture. as

After some time, however, it becomes
understood that one of the beasts has
reluctantly consented to take the lead,
and he, accordingly, advances for the
purpose. For 4 minute or two he goes
IN with much indccision, taking first
one line. and then another. but soon
by the aid of some mysterious sense,
he discovers the true direction and fol-

A SECOND REVIEW OF THE GRAND
ARMY.

/ read last night Of the grand review
In Washington's chiefest avenue
Two hundred Thousand men I'm blue
] think they said WAS the number
TIL | seemed To hear their tramplng feet.
The bugle's blast and the drums quick
beat,
The clatter OF hoofs in the stony street,
The cheers OF the people who came to greet,
And the thousand details that to repeat
Would only my verse cucumber
TIL fell in q revcry sad and sweet.
And then to a fitful slumber.
When, 10. In "A vision | seemed to stand,
In a lonely capitol. On each hand
Far stretches the portico dim and grand,
Its columns ranged like a martial band
or sheeted spcctors, whom sonlr command
Had called TO the last reviewing
And the streets of the city we're white and
bare,
But no football echoed along the square,
But out of the misty midnight air
/ heard in the distance "A trumpet blare
And the wandering night-winds seemed TO
bear
The sound Of a far tattooing.
Then | held my breath in fear and dread,
For into the square, with Il brazcn tread,
There rose n figure whose stately head
Overlooked the parade that morning.
1t never bowed from its tirm-set seat
When the living column passed its feet,
Yet now rode stately up the street
To the phantom's bugle warning,
Till 1t reached the capitol square and
wheeled.
And there in the moonlight stood revealed
A well known form, that in state and field
Had led our patriot %sires;
Whose face was turned to the sleeping camp,
Affair through the rivers fog and damp,
That showed no flicker nor waning lamp
Nor wasted bivouac fires.
And | saw a phantom army come,
With never n sound OF fife or drum,
But keeping time to the throbbing hum
OF wailing and lamentation!
The martvred heroes of Malvern Hill,
Of Gettysburg and Charlottesville,
The men whose wasted figures fill
The patriot graves of the nation.
And there came nameless dead, the men
Who persisted In fever swamp and fen,
The slowly starved of the prison pen,
| And, marching beside the others,
Came the dusky martyrs Of Pillows fight,
With limbs enfranchised and bearing bright
| neutrality-suspicious. twas the pale moon

And so, all night marched the nations dead,
With never a banner above them spread,
Nor a badge nor n motto brandishedl
! No mark-save the bare, uncovered head
OF the silent bronze reviewer
With never An arch save the vaultcd sky,
| With never a flower save those that lie
| On the distant groves--for love could buy
No gift that WAS purer or trucr.
