M. =. Campbell, who has been for
some timo Gt tho famous Gunsight mine,
near the line Of southern Arizona, says
the camels of the desert are increasing
very rapidly, and that there arc now be.
tween 300 and 400 of them. This is sur
prising, he says, considering tho large
number that have been killed and palm
ed off for beef in the past few years and
the inroads made upon tho bands by
passing showmen. Mr.. Campbell gave
somo interesting details of these tawny
denizens of the waste places, introduced
so many years ago by Ben Buttorworth,
and now grown wild.
''Theso hulking animals" he said,
"roam mainly between tho Gila and
Colorado rivers, In stretch Of the low
Eagle Tail mountains and tho desert ad-
joining. There is very fine bunch grass
in that region, and tho camols keep in
good condition. / have several times
seen ms many as eight or ten in a band,
and most Of them are very largo.
Different persons havo been there
from time to time catching them for tho
circuses. That is the source of supply
now for all the shows. Tho hunters go
out in bands Of half dozen on mules,
as horses would be Of no account. Tho
camols, cumbersome rs they look, run
very fast, and only mules arc enduring
enough in that tough country 20 wear
them ont. The hunters stretch out, sur.
round band, aud out Of ten or dozen
manage to cut out and stay by q couple,
wearing them out and catching them
finally with lassos. Tho camols arc very
wild at first, but speedily tamo down,
and tho showmen can do anything they
please with them.
81 was for nearly two years there
mining, and myself and men were fur
nished with camel meat right along
and thought it very good. We paid %
cents pound for good deal Of it, and
we thought it as good beef as we had
usually eaten. The old prospectors, who
had turned to peddling meat, never said
word to us, but took their pay regu-
larly to go away and come back again.
At tho last we found out it was nothing
but the camel's meat which they were
furnishing us. Then we began to draw
the line
IF the meat sellers and circus people
would let the camels alone for awhile,
they would increase much faster. The
animals are interesting to see on the
desert and do no harm. San Francis.

Why is it, l wonder, that we como

an intense and fiery kind, cot mixed

1t is notorious fact that an electric

fluid which made my compass worthless
was nearly always there, it has guided
me somehow with tolerable safety a
long distance across the trackless main.
And am not by any means sure that
would exchange it for truor instru-
ment, subject to fewer alterations. For
take this very sensitiveness to electric
influences to be proof Of its exceeding
finenoss and excellence. Life would be
horrible dreary affair If these magnetic
currents which mako the needle tremble
and swerve were banished or nonexist-

which has no sympathy with folly and
no CLEAN of potential madness is no

cannot forbear questioning whether to
the soul thus equipped the voyage is

Ulysses Of old, middle aged though
he was, had to stuff his ears with wax
lest he steer his ship into the jaws of
perdition, when tho sirens sang so deli
ciously, and ho did not exactly cover
himself with glory during his visits to
Circe and Calypso. But what very red
blood he had, and how humanely his
heart beat in every one of his manifold
adventures! He never, like his ship
mates, became swain, and how noble
and manly was his bearing in the pres
ence of the lovely Nausicaai
There is something almost touching
to me in seeing the same sentiment
which stirs my own bosom recorded
thousands Of years ago. And, truth to
tell, the man whose pulse is subject to
no irregularities and whose Judgment
registers no alterations in tho presence
of beautiful woman is, in my opinion,
"fit for treasons. stratagems and spoils. "
