Oar morning contemporary insists
that when it said: And how the stars
and stripes would blaze out in splen-
dor insunerable among the worlds en-
signs" it meant what it said. And
this recalls the story of the man who
said the mule was Is feet high, and
when a friend suggested that he must
have meant hands he said: Did
l say the mule was 16 feet high?"
When told that that was what he had
said, he only replied: We'll, if 1 said

When the First regiment, New York
volunteers, were on their way to San
Francisco, they went through Omaha.
A poetess of that place has poured out
her soul in song over them. Here is
one stanza of her soulful lay:
Today I looked in the faces
of our nations boys in blue"
And felt the hearty pressure
of their hanclasp warm and true;
And my heart grew sad within me
As gazed in each clear eye
And thought that many laughing now
IN a foreign land would die
As a gazer this girl is a great sue
cess; in fact, she must be a regular
stare-eyed goddess.

III. It. Craven Still Living.

Few persons who remember those
clever and long popular character"
plays, 1.-the Chimney Corner" and
"Meg's DIVERSION" know that their
author, who was also character"
actor of excellent repute, is still alive. A
London writer says Henry Thomas,
now dwelling in retirement at Clap
ham, is the oldest living dramatist,
and he must look back with something
of sadness to tho difference between au.
thors' fees as he knew them and the size
they have assumed in the present day.
Although little knswn to the newest
generation, Mr.. Craven has enjoyed
remarkable career and may regard with
satisfaction the fact that he never wrote
anything which could be accused OF
possessing any save the most healthy
qualities. He secured success as a play
wright by the intense humanity he i'm
parted to his works, by his clever char.
acterization and construction and by
making the domestic note" dominant
throughout. There has never been quite
al adequate successor to him as writer
of short and affecting pieces.

itants, much better off, as a rule, than

EXCITING CAMEL TRAINING.
The Animal Of the Desert Has More
Vices Than Il Mule.

The Animal Of the Desert Has More
Vices Than {, Mule.
An officer who has been residing some
time in Egypt, where camel riding has
been obligatory, sends the following
graphic description Of his experiences
with that amiable and useful animal:
"You can we'll imagine that there's a
circus around here while the usual rid
ing instruction is going on. When the
untamed camels first arrived at our
camp, I heard tremendous growing
in front of the door, and on going out /
saw one Of these amiable beasts being
led by his keeper, but walking along
with every expression of disgust both
in his countenance and voice.
1.-The man stopped ditto caneD and
attempted to tie the beasts fore legs to-
gether, when it reared, and, striking
out with its fore feet, landed on the
keepers stomach and head, sending
him flying through space as If shot out
Of cannon. The man picked himself
out of the ditch with hand Oh each
bruised part and the camel, which had
never ceased roaring, was taken In
charge by two other and more robust
natives and led to the tents, or, rather,
induced to 60 by energetic assistance OF
a very sharp iron rod applied in most
vigorous and miscellaneous manner.
"Similar exhibitions are being con-
Quoted here daily, aud wo are now ready
to lead the recently broken came]s
Within three or four days they become
tractable.
II first formed my opinion of camel
some years ago, when [ rode across the
Arabian deserts, and sec no reason to
alter it in any way. The creature has
80 many talents and SO many ways OF
exhibiting them. And, to begin with,
it can kick harder, higher, swifter and
oftenar than a mule and can use all
four feet at one time in kicking
match. Then it can bite worse than. a
vicious horse and buck in q way to
make a bronch blush with absolute
shame.
"No rider ever lived who can stay on
that perch seven feet from the ground
during a camel's exhibition Of gym.
nastics Then he can run away when
he feels like it and is often seized with
a desire to slope. Upon an occasion OF
this kind his rider experiences sensa-
tion between being blown up with dy-
namite or struggling against the throes
of an earthquake until all his joints are
olslocated and he drops, limp, inert
mass, to the ground.
"Then this sweet creature has way
of evincing his displeasure that is at
least effectual and convincing. He
twists his snakelike neck into circle,
and, poking his ugly nose into the face
of the rider, opens his cavernous mouth
and lets out roar Of disgust in such a
fetid breath that the elevated human
victim is fairly blown into the middle
of the coming month "a week being too
short a distance). And yet, with all
these high recommendations, which
some people might consider objectiona-
bic, these are the dear animals l am
constantly brought in contact with and
for which 1 am even beginning to form
an affection Road.
