Duval Athletic Club on Wednesday
restraining Sheriff Broward from in
terfering with their property spiked
Gov. Mitchells last gun. and although
q motion to dissolve the injunction was
fol mally entered in Judge Calls court
1t came to naughtsan and the state ~
thOrities were powerless.
Before entering the ring, when the
men came to the center to shake hands,
Mitchell applied q coarse epithet to
the Californian and the latts r refused
to shake his hand. As a result the.
champion lost complete control OF him
self in the second round and would
have fought foully. 1t took the united
efforts Of his seconds and the referee
to prevent him falling upon Mitchell
when he was down on one knee aud
once or twice he did actually strike,
Mitchell lightly when in that position.
Jack Dempsey had to slap him in the
face half q dozen times to awaken him
to the situation and nobody following q
strict Interpretation OF the rules could
have complained had Referee Kelly
awarded the battle to Mitchell. But
Mitchell had nobody at his back who
seemed capable Of compromising the
gravity OF the situation, and the battle
went on despite the fact that the rec
onds of Corbett were continually break
ing into the ring to control him.
Mitchell seemed like q child in COM
parison with Corbett, but he gave the
champion . good battle, and in the
opinion Of several good judges had q
slight advantage in the first round.
He was many pounds lighter than his
opponent, and lacked the height and
reach Of the man from California, who
has climbed to the topmost round of

Prompt People.

Don't live q single hour Of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
lone in it, ard going straight through
1t from the beginning to end. Work,
play, study, whatever it is, take hold
1T once, and finish it up squarely; then
to the next thing, without letting any
moments drop between. 1t Is wonder
full to see how many hours these
prompt people contrive to make OF q
day; 1t Is as il they picked up the me-
ments the dawdlers lost. And, il over
you find yourself where you have SO
many things pressing upon you that
you hardly know how to begin, let ms
tell you . secret. Take hold Of the
very first one that comes to hand, and
you will find the rest all fall in file, and
follow after, like q company Of we'll
drilled soldiers: and, though work may
be hard to meet when it charges in q
squad, it is easily vanquished If you
can bring 1t into line. You have often
seen the anecdote OF the mau who ras
asked how he had accomplished SO
much In his life. my father taught
me-, was the reply, when l lad any
thing to do, to 60 and do it," There
Is the secret-the magic work now"

Rather Tough on Foreigners.

In "the good old time in England
any alien could be arrested and pun
islled for the crimes and misdemeanors
of other ~aliens, although having no
completely with them. They were all
Jumped together as q class, any indi-
yidual Of which wa liable to be ap-
pretended ana h>'N accountable for
the debts incurred n for the ofTenses
committed by any other individual Of
the class.
This old English custom prevailed at
least as late as the reign Of Edward III.
i. g., till about the middle of the l4th
century; and Icing after this period it
was exceedingly difficult to enact and
almost impossible to enforce laws 70
thu protection of foreigners, so deeply
rooted and intense was the prejudice
against them. Even far down into the
18th century they continued to be re-
garded with extreme suspicion. and
were often subjected to gross indigni-
ties, Independently of any personal
qualities or any peculiar conduct On
their part. The mere fact of their
alienage sufficed to kindle against them
tie anger of the populace and turn the
m lS.eS into an mr. ily mob.

A HERD OF CAMELS.

They Dwell In Arizona and the Governor
Calls Them . Nuisance.
Several inquiries have been recently
made through various newspapers as to
whether there was any truth In the
rumor that a herd of wild camels was
roaming through the southwestern
portion of Arizona. But no one seems
TO have found any answer to the ques-
tion. Most people are inclined to re-
gard the possibility OF q wild-camel
herd within the United States as moth
ing less than ridiculous, but as q mat
ter Of fact such an aggregation does
exist, and tho Governor OF Arizona
would like to be rid of it. In his last
annual report Gov. Hughes calls atten-
ton to the fact that in the year 1855
the War Department imported from
Asia Minor q number Ct camels. They
were landed at Galvest IN, and from
there taken overland to Los Angeles
for the pu. pose of transporting mill
tary supplies from that point to the
coasts OF Southern California and Ari-
zona. Many Of the animals were lost
In the vicinity OF the Aqua Caliente,
and from time to time others made
their escape into the desert. Their ex-

teamsters and freighters shot at them
whenever opportunity afforded, because
horses and mules objected excitedly to
association with their Oriental COM
petitors. Finally the entire band was
turned loose, the government finding
them ~valu.ess fer the purposes for
which they were imported. A few
were captured about ten years ago and
were then turned over to q circus.
They were said to be very much of an
improvement upon the original stock.
Gov. Hughes quotes Col. u X. Allen,
of the Yuma Sentinel, who says:
AT the present timo there are
n~inty-seven of them in the mountains
and hills east Of the Yuma and Harqua
Hals WACO roads, away fDom the haunts
of white men and Indians. They have
roamed mostly in the Eagle Tail Noun
tains and adjoining ranges, where but
few, If any, human beings ever 60. 1t

there would 0 be not less than one
thousand. They are very wild and
vicious, and make q hard fight when
caught or ever cOrnereG.

New Orleans has the smallest police
force Of any great city in the country,

In the history Of the United states,
says the burlington Hawkeye. The
contrast between the Democratic year

Ii most marked. During the past year
the imports of merchandise were the
highcst In the history OF the country,
reaching $500, AGO, %. That means, OF
course, that We consumed 0 goods
that were manufactured in other 9 un-
tries and less Of those made in own
country. That is to say. we gave the
workingmen Of Europe preference to
the wOrkinRmen OF the United States.

this increased buying abroad had to be
paid Tor. There was n,thing In the

our wheat, and corn, and pork, and
other farm p.Oducts, but they

u extravagant purchases abroad with
gold. This Is another feature Of the
Democratic policy.
The Populists ought especially to
note the fact that we do not pay our
foreign debts in silver or IN our PAPER
money, but we had TO pay 1t in our gold
coin because the other countries would
NIT take our deprecated silver, and II
