Tricked the vicious Camel.

A valuable camel working in an oil
mill in Africa was beaten by it's driver.
Seeing thaS the camel had treasured up
the injury and was only waiting ia
vorable chance for revenge, the driver
kept strict watch upon the animal.
Time passed away. The camel, know
ing that it was watched, was luiet and
obedient. and 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 while, as is
customary, the camel was stabbed in q
corner. ~ s} r.
Happening to awake, the driver saw
py the bright moonlight that when all
was quiet the animal looked cautiously
around. rose softly and. stealing toward
q spot where bundle of clothes and a
burnoose thrown carelessly on the
ground resembled a sleeping figure,
cast itself with violence upon them,
rolling with all its weight and tearing
them most viciousiy with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was complete,
the camel was returning to it's 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 discov-
cry of its scheme that it dashed its head
against the wall and died on the spot,

HARRISBURG, April 20.-The great
battle for United States senator has
ended without an election and unless
Governor Stone calls an extra session at
which there shall be an election Penn
sylvania will have only one representa-
tive in the United States senate during
the next two years. After the taking
of one ballot in joint convention mo-
ton was offered by Mr.. Fow Dem of
Philadelphia and adopted that IL vote of
thanks be rendered the officers and that
the convention adjourn sine die. There
was no change in the days voting, the
friends of ex-senator Quay standing by
him and the anti-Quay Republicans by
B. F. Jones of Pittsburg, while the
Democrats cast their vote for George A..
jerks, who has been their candidate
since the deadlock began.
Contest Bitter Throughout.
The senatorial contest began on Jan.
II. On that day Senator Quay received
his highest vote, 112 senators and repre-
sentatives casting their ballot for him.
This was 13 less than the number nec-
essary to choice and he never came
nearer an election during the more than
three months of the struggle. No such
bitter political contest was probably
ever before waged in this country. The
fight has been distinctly on Quay and
arti-Quay lines and both sides had nu-
merous representatives here at all times
keeping close watch on the opposition
and on each other. 1t is expected the
contest for supremacy will be carried
into every county iii the state and
waged necessarily until final supremacy
is assured. The next fight will be for
control Of the state convention which
will nominate candidate for state
