generally drinks once in three days,
and besides his four stomachs he car
ries sort of reservoir in which he
stores water. I have been told that
even ten days alter the death of
camel this reservoir can be opened and
ten or fifteen piuts of clear, drinkable
water taken from it. On one occasion
six camels carried 3,64S pounds of oats
and made the journey in much quicker
time than two wagons, each drawn by
six mules, and together carrying about
the same weight of load. On very heavy
road caravan of our camels carried
from San Antonio nearly two tons of
oats, making about twenty miles day.
The roads were such that wagons could
not have been used at ali. / believe
this is an experiment worth trying
again. The camel would not only make

Whoever places the horse or dog next

gence and sagacity has never made the
acquaintance of the Tennessee hog, the
genuine razorback. One who knows
the pig only as the fat, sleepy, grunty
occupant of the sty has no idea OF the
spirit and wisdom, the daring and en-
terprise of the species, when born and
reared among the rugged mountain reg
ions of the Cumberland. In contrast
with the close pen, which is all the
world his Northern cousin ever knows,
freedom is the very air his pigship
breathes from the time when he opens
his narrow, speculative eye in the
beechen shade of the hills, until the
unlucky day when he is cornered by
human craft and numbers and reduced
to bacon. His education begins in in

him the way into the best gardens, or

The Trouble a HalfCrown Caused,
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


Not long since, one of number oil
half-crowns was submitted TO the ASSAY.
ers OF the Goldsmiths' Company on be-
halt of the mint. The coin was appar.
emily of good silver and true weight
but certain minute differences in the
faces betrayed to practiced ewes that il
was not stamped in the mint. The
assay proved tbat the quality of the
silver was. if anything, rather superior
to that which composed the genuine
half-crown, ard the mint officers were
not wrong in Judging the weight to be
correct. Nevertheless, the coin was GER
tainly made elsewhere than in the only
authorized place., The motive is oil
course to be found in the fall in the
value of silver, and the appearance OF
these full-weighted but illegitimate
coins has been dreaded Tor some
time. There are places, notab bly,
India and Mexico, where silver is
now of as little account as in the days OF
Solomon. At any rate silver for two
half-crown pieces can be had for a little
over 81. Clearly then there is hand
some profit left if they can be made IN
sufficient numbers to cover the expense
Of manufacture. It is pretty certain that
these are not made in London. The
question is, where they come from and
how they come. That they will con-
tinue to increase is most probable, for
there seems little chance of rise in the
price Of silver, and that alone would
render the enterprise improbable.
Meantime this particular half-crown has
caused very pretty quarrel between
three august bodies-the mint, the
Bank of England, and the Goldsmiths.
The GoIdsn,iths' Company refused to
condemn the half-croWn submitted for
assay, but sent it on to the bank, with
other moneys; at the same time a
memorandum was forwarded drawing
the attention of the bank to the coin in
question. The bank forwarded the
suspect" to the mint. But the mint
impounded it as base coin. The bank
thereon treated it as such, and deduct
ed % I'D from the Goldsmiths' balance.
To this view the company by no means
assent, and great is the correspondence
on the subject Of this good-bad half
crown. The Goldsmiths naturally con-
tend that, as they are the assayers Of
the pyx, their dec sion should be final.
The mint officials say it is mo child OF
THEIRS" and so the matter remains.
Meantime the real question is how long
the mint can go on producing, as tender
worth Is Sd, disc not worth %. The
Whole profit of the mint has hitherto
been made on the silver and bronze
coinage. Gold does not pay. But it is
no secret that since the drop in silver
the profits of the mint have been alb
normal. Probably the bimetallists will
have something to say on the matter.

The Godlixe Daniel.

Oliver Dyer, who was an official re-
porter of the United States Senate in
1S4S in his book entitled Great Senators
of the United States, gives this impress
slve description of Webster:
The reader is doubtless familiar with
the fact that in Webster's dav he was
called 1.-THE Godlike Daniel" The ap-
pellation fitted him. He was not 80 tall
as Clay, but he was much larger anu
more massive in every way. He had
broad shoulders, q deep chest and
than Webster; | have seen men larger;
large and grand as be did when he was
aroused in debate. Webster's head was
phenomenal in size and beauty of out
line and grandeur of appearance. It
used to be said of him thai he had brain
enough to make several good heads.
HIS brow was so protuberant that his
eyes, though naturally large. seemed
sunken, and were Ekened unto sgreat
burning lamps set deep in the mouths
OF caves" But large as his perceptive
organs were, his reflective bulged out
over them. His causality was massive
ly developed; and his organ of compar-
isOn, which was larger even than his
causallty, protruded as though Nature.
tribnted her superintendent material as
we'll as she could, found at last that she
had such lot of brain matter left ON
hand that. in despair, she dabbed it ON
in front, and let it take its chance of
sticking; and it stuck. The head, the
face. the whole presence of Webster was
kingly, majestic, godlike. And when
one heard him speak, he found that
Webster's voice was just exactly the
kind of voice that such looking man
ough: to have. It was deep, resonant,
mellow, sweet, with a thunder roll in
it which, when let out in it's full power,
was awe-inspiring. In ordinary speech
its magnificent bass notes rolled forth
like the rich tones of a deep-voiced or
gan, but when he chose to do 80. he
could elevate his voice in ringing, clar-
ion tones of thrilling power. He also
had faculty of magniiying word into
such prodigious volume and force that
it would drop from his lips as great
boulder might drop through the ceiling,
and jar the Senate chamber like a clap
of thunder.
