ACAMEL IN GRANITE.
One to be Found in Arizona That is
Perfect Likeness.

Perfect Likeness'
One of the most curious rock lorna
tions in the world is to be seen In Arr
iona. 1t is short distance east OF the
stage road between Tucson and Oracle
and stands on knoll several feet above
the surrounding sandhiis. When mrs.
seen the effect is startling, and the
mind has to get over shock before tbe
peculiar object can be cOmpreeended.
1t is a most perfect REPRESENTATION OF
camel, and is formed Of one piece OF
granite.
This curiosity is OF colossal size, but
perfectly proportional. II is about
sixty feet high and is very VIDE ana
smooth. There are very few assures on
the surface, ana they, strangely, are In
the proper places to form features. The
only real projection from the surface Is
exactly placed for an eyebrow. The
two humps are plainly TO be seen, and
the neck is curved beautifully. The
rock is really a solid piece rising from
the ground, but the effect Of legs is pro-
duced by clump of dark-colored brush
that grows beside the stone. The white
stone shows plainly at both sides OF the
brush, and the effect of the legs is un-
mstakable produced. The strangest
part of it is that it looks like camel
from all sides and at all times of the
day or nigh. There is no digusing the
rsssm Misunderstanding Dispatch.

NANsEN, THE EXPLORER.
Baron NOrdenskioId Says He'll Never
Reach the Pole.

Though Baron NordenskioId has aged
very much during the last few years, his
enthusiasm for polar exploration is as
great as ever. He is also large-souled
enough not to envy Nansen any polar
laurels he may earn in his present ex-
pedition. At the mention of Nansen's
name the other day his face was bright
ened by broad and sympathetic
smile. AYE, the Norwegian fellow
il daredevil" he said, but deucedly
able chap" Then, after a pause, But
OF course, he'll never reach the north
pole; that l can never beIieve-no,
never" "But YOU think he may come
back?" eyes, do believe that. Why
sbould he not, and with a sound skin?
He is a Norwegian, accustomed from
chip TO manage boats, and he knows
what ice is. If his ship should be beset
be will take to his boats, and Will, am
sure, manage in the ice so that he does
not sink. or course, there Is always
great danger in such a journey, but
RELY greatly on hansen; yes, rely fully
on that boy" Some seconds OF refec-
ton we're followed by the baron's dec
Isration: And even allowing, now,
that he returns without having reached
the pole? Whot then? ] am sure his
tourney is not wasted to science. Nan
sen is an able fellow and distinguish

bied Yesterday afternoon, Mt 4.3O. Seven
Oh inc eight churches invited were repre-
sentea. Rev. L. Jenkins, DID,, was
elected moderator. ana Rev. Leroy S.
Beam scribe. The council, after review
ing une action of pastor, church and par
ism, ADOPTED the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That we concur with the
ectlon OF The church ands.parish, and adj
wise the dissolution of the passionate.
AND IN reaching this conclusion, the
counell would bear cheerful witness to
the aplity Of DR.. Merrill as a preacher,
ms lalthfullness as a pastor, and his
usefulness in the city and neighbor-
hood. He is brother beloved for his
many excellent qualities of head and
heart. Our reluctance in taking this ac-
ZION IS greatly lessened by the fact that
ne remains among us in new field of
labor, In which we commend him to
the churches, and invoke upon him the
biesslng of God. We rejoice that in the
dissolution of this passionate, the pastor,
church aud parish have displayed great
mutual consideration; and we commend
this historic church to the care of the
great Head OF the church, in the hope
that He may soon send them another
leader to break to them the bread of life.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Address by Rev. j. A Lansing Last:Eve-
ming.

A.large audience gathered in City hall last
evening to hear the address of Rev. j. A.
Lansing and join in the singing of America
and other patriotic songs
Rev. DR.. Henry Blanchard presided. and
Messrs. Shaw.and Gray began the exercises
with duet, Come. Thou, Almighty King.
DR.. Blanchard. in his introduction, said
that in the discussion of the school question
we need brains and good nature. Goodness
of judgment, balance of mind, and enough
power of simaginations to put ones self in
the place of HIM with whom we differ, are
necessary in the discussion tf such
question as this. There are two parties to
this school question. One party wishes the
public school to teach of God. religion and
the church. In this party are the Catholics,
who denounce the public schools as Goddess;
the German Lutherans out West, who wish
to shut out the English language; and the
High Church Episcopalians, who believe
that schools should be essentially religious
in nature.
The other party believes that religious
teaching should be confined to the homes
and Sunday school, They too believe in
God and religious training; but do not be-
lieve that the public school should 4 be- the
place for religious teaching.
It Mr.. Blanchard said he believed that sthe
speaker of the evening would bring brains
AID good nature, as.wen as ability to the dis
cussion of this question.
Columbia, the gem of the Ocean. was
nextsung, the audience Joining sthe chorus.
Rev. j. A. Lansing of Boston. upon being
introduced, was received with applause. He
said that his address would be preparatory
to the other address switch he is to deliver
in City hall Sshis Monday evening. 1.-THE
school question is a very broad one, touch
ing the rich and the poor, the Protestant and
Catholic. There were at the time of the last
census, fourteen million school children in
this country. the same census showed a
total population of sixty-fiye millions. The
question of the schools is one of as great in
terest to the Catholics as to the Protestant.
The speaker then went on to discuss the
relation of the Catholic laymen and
eccl esiastics to the school question, the
former favoring generally the public schools,
and the latter trying to bring children into
the parochial schools. 1t was shown by
statistics that the preference of the Cathol-
les themselves is for the public schools.
