SUICIDE OF A ROGUE CAMEL.
Falling to xiii n Cruel Master, the
Vicious Beast Takes Its
own Life.

A valuable camel working in an oil
mill in Africa, was beaten by its driver.
Seeing that the camel had treasured up
the injury and was only waiting favor
able chance for revenge, the driver kept
a strict watch upon the animal. Time
passed away; the camel, knowing that
ii was watched, was quiet and obedient.
ard the driver began to think that the
beating was forgotten, when one night
after several months had gone by, the
man was sleeping on a raised platform
in the MILL whilst, as is customary, the
camel was stabbed in a. corner, says an
exchange.
Happening to awake, the driver saw
by the bright moonlight that, when
all was quiet, the animal looked eau
tiously around, rose softly, and, steal
ing toward a spot where a bundle of
clothes and a burnous, thrown careless
ly on the ground, resembled a sleeping
figure, cast itself with violence upon
them, rolling with all its weight, and
tearing them viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was complete,
the camel was returning to its corner
when the driver sat up and spoke. AT
the sound of his voice, and realizing
the mistake it had made. the animal was
so mortified at the failure and discovery
of its scheme that it dashed its head
against The wall and died on the spot.

The average southern negro looks
upon funeral as a function to be en-
ioyed, and one at which all the fine
feathers of the women and the loud
clothing of the men should be shown.
In this city to-day there are hundreds
of negroes and negresses who each
month pay their pittance to their
Societies" and the societies" in return
bury them with great pomp when they
die.
Not long since very largely at
tended funeral was passing along a
prominent street. An old negro, i'm
pressed by the number of carriages and
wishing to express his admiration, eX-
claimed: "Lawdy! Lawdy! Dat sho'
is er big ie!"-Memphis Scimitar.

Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of the hard service they endured during
the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Ross
vile, York county, Penn, who saw the
hardest kind of service at the front, is
now frequently troubled with rheuma-
tism. 81 had a severe attack lately" he
says, "and procured bottle of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. 1t did me so much
good that 1 would like to know what
you would charge me for one dozen
bottles" Mr.. Anderson wanted it both
for his own use and to supply it to his
friends and neighbors, as every family
should have bottle of it in their home
not only for rheumatism, but lame back
sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and
burns, for which it is unequalled. For

WANTED LIFE INSURANCE.
A Chinamnn's Carer Notion of the
Benefits to BE Derived from
Policy.

A New Orleans lawyer told the
T'nes-Democrat this yarn:
had a Chinese client who went
.-o.ne on a visit, leaving his laundry in
charge of his brother. When he re-
turned he was promptly ordered off the
premises. His brother had coolly APP
propriated the business and swore he
would kill him unless he made himself
scarce. The dispossessed gentleman
called on me the next day, and. after
hearing his story, I advised him to get
out warrant Immediately, but he
shook his head at the suggestion, and
said in pigeon English that he wanted
to have his life insured for $4,000. |
was astonished. What on earth put
that into your head?' asked. so they
makee ale time some watch he re-
piled. After a great deal of cross-ques-
tioning got at his scheme. He lad in
some manner conceived the idea that
insurance companies did everything
possible to prolong the lives of their
policy holders, and it followed quite
naturally that if they had $1,000 at
stake they would take particular pains
to see that he wasn't hurried into the
hereafter by his wicked brother. In
other words they would 'makee some
watch and. being frugal gentlman, it
struck him as cheap way of securing
a body guard. He was greatly disap-
pointed when l explained that the
companies let their clients take their
own chances. and it evidently i'm
pressed him as most unbusinesslike.
He went away. and at last accounts the
wicked brother was still holding the
fort"

ELECTRIC LIGHTS OUT,
Caused by an Armature Burning

Sunday night about $ o'clock an armature on one of the machines at the plant of the Light and Water Company burned out and about one half of the city including residences churches and pubic streets, were thrown into utter darkness and confusion.
 In conseq dence of the accident all lights on the ,tlre circuit went out. In the circuit are the Christian and Trinity Episcopal churches at each of which the lights went out without previous warning, and the congregations had to be dismissed amid confusion and darkness.
 There was much murmuring and complaint throughout the city this morning, especially among the mem. bers of the above named congrega- tions. Among the most indignant worshippers was Dr, s. W.Cruteher, Of the Christian church. T was just warming up to my theme, wheL ] had to dismiss my coEgre- gation7 complained the preacher tbis morning, ard you can just put 1t down that whenever parson kicks that he has a perfects right aod is warranted in doing @
 At the Mater aud Light Con pa 8 office tis explained by saying that ib was only an accident, such as was unforeseen, unavoidable and liable to happen 3 any time. We hope, however, sad Mr. Bridges this mGraing, to have the damage repaired this afternoon so that the lights can be turned on to night. 7"
 All of which is true we believe and hope, but neyertheIess tbose who pay for lights by the imontb, including the city. should receive a reduction on their monthly light bills.
