The distinguished gentlemen who are
in the city to-day for the purpose of visit
ing the state industrial school are emi
nent representatives of the American ed
ucational system, from the primary school
to the great university. They are influ
ential leaders in their work of enlightening
and uplifting, hence their visit means
good for the colored youth of this section
whose especial welfore the.vare here to look
after. Because of their genial personali
ties and great purposes the gentlemen are
doubly welcome in Savannah.
The patrons of the Morninq News in
Middle Florida have been complaining
recently of the irregularity of the news
paper mail. The Morning News has
made a thorough investigation of the
complaints, and finds the irregularities
are due to the failure of the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular railroad to make con
nection with its Florida branches. There
was a failure for four successive days.
The failure was duo probably to bad
weather north of Savannah. The Morn
ing News will be sent to Middle Florida
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway until there is better service on
the Florida Central and Peninsular.
We beg leave to put Charleston on her
guard. We see by the News and Courier
that Messrs. Lynn C. Doyle, Amos Kea
tor, F. A. Khina, S. A. Lubrious, S. A.
Lubrity, D. E. Fiance" and several other
gentlemen belonging to their class, have
been stopping frequently at a Charleston
suburban hotel during the recent past. It
is to be hoped that they were not after
getting in on the ground floor in that
Meeting street palace hotel enterprise,
for they are tricky. Linseed oil, a mos
quito, farina and salubrious salubrity are
good enough in their way, even if that
way is to fill up a hotel register. But
they are not to be depended upon as In
vestors. We cannot refrain from men
tioning, by the way, that the gentlemen
above named have never registered at
Tybee.
Raplee, the New York man, who wrote
to Secretary Carlisle on a letter sheet
headed, "The British and American
Financial and Industrial Investment
Syndicate," offering to buy 75,000,000
ounces of silver from the United States
at 65 cents per ounce, which is about
5 cents an ounce more than it is worth, is
not known in the New York business
community. Raplee referred to Senator
Hill as to his financial standing, after
stating that as ope condition precedent to
his purchase he would exact that the
United States impose an export duty of
12% cents per ounce on silver for the next
five years. Senator Hill has not lieon
heard from as to this supposed friend of
his, but it would make no difference if he
were to be. The government can not
Charge an export duty on anything; its
right of levying duties is limited by the
constitution to imports.
Tammany Hall’s extraordinary strength
Is in great part accounted for by the
showing made in its - year book,” or list
of the general committee for 1894. The
list shows over 15,000 names of com mittee
men in the thirty districts into which tho
city of New York is divided, and this
army of workers is always ready to keep
the Tammany voters in place and meet
any onslaught that may be madeupou the
organization. Each of the 15,000 names
on the list is good for $5 for the “war
fund" every year, besides which 2.000
members of tic elect who belong to the
■ entral committee on organization are
booked for *ls each for the same fund.
And the money for these assessments is
always forthcoming; delinquency is not
tolerated. The organization, therefore,
has an income of $105,000 a year from dues
alone. Of this fund one-half is sent to
headquarters and the balance goes to the
districts for current expenses. For cam
paign work, other funds are raised,
swelling the sum total that Tammany has
to spend on politics prior to each election
to an immense sum. The society’s ways
and means system is as thoroughly or
ganized us the government's. Vet there
are superficial observer that cannot un
derstand the source of Tammany’s
strength and the reason the spasmodic
efforts of the reformers fail to overthrow
it.
Frye's Partisan Harangue.
It may be that Senator Frye believes
all he said in h.s speech upon tho ila
-1 waiiau question in the Senate on Wednes
day and Thursday. Some men are so
j constituted that tacts which do not sup
, port the view they take of a subject
! have no weight with them. Senator
! Frye appears to be a man of that kind.
! His attack upon Commissioner Blount's
report was so unfair that even senators
iof his own party who heard what he
said must have wondeied whether he
! had read the report. He declared he did
j not believe there was any truth in the
! report. He even denied that Mr. Blount
had given President Bole and the mem
bers of his go.ernnieut an opportunity to
slate their side of the case, although he
had before him the testimony of Mr.
Blount, given under oath, that such an
opportunity had been given them.
Sp, ei lies like that of Senator Frye can
have no weight, either in Congress or
out of it. No doubt Mr. Frye's chief pur
pose was to defend liis friend. Minis
ter Stevens, but in order to do tiiat it was
not necessary to entirely ignore the
truth. The case of ex-Ministcr Stevens,
is not hei|ied by assertions in his behalf
that have no foundation in fact.
The repub'i'-ans are exceedingly bitter
he, ause theiv programme for the annexa
tion of Hawaii lias not been carried out,
and their bitterness is showing itself in
the discussion of tne Hawaiian question.
Their purpose seems to be to inject venom
into their speeches without re
gard to truth. The misstatements
made by Senator Frye were pointed out
to him several times during his speech by
Senator Gray. They were so bald that it
seems impossible that they could have
been made through ignorance.
The republicans probably hope to create
such a strong public sentiment in favor of
the annexation of Hawaii that congress
will favor annexation. The report writ
ten by Senator Morgan, the chairman of
the Senate committee on foreign relations,
strengthens this hope. If they could
the policy of annexation carried out the
Harrison administration and ex-Minister
Stevens would be vindicated, and the
Cleveland administration and Commis
sioner Blount condemned. That would
be a victory that would give them joy.
It is far from certain, however, that
Senator Morgan's report will be approved
by the Senate, and the House has already
declared against annexation and given its
approval to the acts of the Cleveland ad
ministration and of Commissioner Blount.
There is not much probability, therefore,
of the annexation of Hawaii in the near
future. The campaign of slauder, how
ever, which the republicans have inau
gurated, and which they are carrying on
so industriously, will be continued as long
as the Hawaiian question is before the
public.
Haking Places for Democrats.
The republicans are making a great
outcry because the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Secretary of the In
terior have made a few places in their re
spective departments for democrats.
They say that both secretaries have vio
lated the civil service law, and they are
loud in their demands that they shall be
called to account.
It is hardly probable that either Secre
tary Carlisle or Secretary Smith has
stepped outside of the limits of the civil
service law in making appointments, but
it is quite certain that they have gone as
far as the law permits them in turning
out republicans and appointing demo
crats. The President and his cabinet be*
lieve in obeying the civil service law, but
if democrats are not appointed where the
law permits them to bo there would be
nothing but republicans in the minor
offices.
During the Harrison administration
democrats stood no chance of getting
places in the government service. The
democrats who were in office when the
Harrison administration wasutiaugurated
were pushed out for one cause and an
other, and republicans appointed to su
eeed them. It would be strange, indeed,
if this administration failed to give places
to democrats when it can do so without
violating the law.
The republicans ought not to complain.
Those who are in the classified service are
not being disturbed, and even those who
hold commissions are being permitted to
serve out their terms. In this city, for
instance, the collector of the port held
his office until his commission expired,
and the indications are that the post
master will not be required to resign.
The republicans have no cause to com
plain. The only reason they do complain
is that they cannot get, rid of tho idea
that they have some sort of a right to the
offices that exists even after the people
have said they have no further use for
the Republican party.
The seizure of Don Cameron s brandy
by Ben Tillman’s whisky constabulary
opens up an almost limitless field for
speculation. By what right can the gov
ernor of one state forbid a citizen of an
other state casually sojourning within
the governor’s territory, from sending
home for his favorite liquor, and drink
ing it, too? What will the Senate or tho
United States say to Ben Tillman for his
disregard of "senatorial courtesy.” and
his infringement upon the dearest priv
ilege of a rich senator—-to pay his money
and take his ohoice of drinks? What in
fluence had the fact that Don Cameron is
Matt Butler's bosom friend upou ttie
seizing of Don Cameron’s demijohn ? Did
the governor seek to strike his political
opponeut. his rival for senatorial honors
next year, through the medium of his
whisky constables and his enemy's
friend i What brand of brandy does Don
Cameron drink, anyhow ? Is it better than
the "Four Star" dispensary stuff that
Ben Tillman may be able to sell him, now
that his supply from outside sources has
beeh cut off? How in the world does Ben
Tillman think a fisherman can catch any
fish if he has no bait? ITovv many stars
fine would Don Cameron s brandy be if it
were bottled by the dispensary and sent
out with a palmetto stamp on it? What
would the governor of South Carolina
say to the senator from Pennsylvania if
they were to moot?
If the new president of Brazil were to
proclaim a general amnesty and invite da
Gama to a seat in his cabinet, white
winged peace would probably soon be
hovering over Brazil, and ooutmuo to
hover for at least six months.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 3, ißs>4.
Since Mary Ellen Rode the Goat.
If Mary Ellen rode a poat. where is the
goat that Mary Ellen rode? Hugh de
Payne Commandery, which Mary Ellen
says furnished the goat, officially declares
that its goat never had on a side-saddle
in its life: which may be taken as con
clusive evidence that that is not the goat
Mary Ellen rode.
Since Mary Ellen rode a goat, as she
demonstrated she did when she gave Gov.
Lewelling the grip and bounced
him cieur off his base while she had the
grip on him, as only a goat, or one who
has ridden a eoat knows how to do, it de
volves upon the Worshipful Goatkeepers
of Kansas to ascertain, if possible,
who bridlod the billy for her and
assisted her to mount. There have
iieen numerous speculations on the sub
ject during the past two weeks in Topeka
and Wichita, but an absolutely satisfac
tory explanation lias not been struck
upon. The nearest approach to it ap
pears to be that telegraphed to ,he Pitts
burg Dispatch, to the effect that the goat
Mary Ellen rode was only a “supe”—not
a goat proper—and that that supe was
Mr. Lease.
It is stated as a fact that Mary Elien is
a spiritualist, a hypnotist and a Buddhist,
as well as a populist. About a year or so
ago she became more than ever
deeply interested in hypnotism, and
by the ardent study of the
proper way to agitate the circumam
bient atmosphere with her arms, and by
constant practice on Gen. \\ eaver, with
whom she was making a political
tour at the time, she acquired
a certain degree of hypnotic power
which she was able to exert over weak
minded persons. With this power at her
command, so the story goes, she cornered
Mr. Lease one night after he had washed
the children and put them to bed, used
it upon him and made him believe he was
a goat.
Mr. Lease is a member of Hugh de
Payne Commandery, and has ridden the
eoat himself, and seen it ridden by others
on frequent occasions; therefore, he
knows what a goat’s business is. And he
did not forget it when his wife had hid?
hypnotized, down on his all fours and
chewing imaginary ai acia leaves made of
manuscripts of her speeches.
Having got her goat under proper con
trol, the theory is that Mary Ellen in
serted an apron string into his mouth and
made him cut up every caper that a real
goat does when a real candidate is
mounted astride.
That is the favorite explanation of
Mary Ellen’s goat riding at Topeka; and
it has got all the populistic wives of the
goat riders of Kansas into a stew about
the infringement of their richts by their
husbands. They contend that if Mary
Ellen convinced her husband while he was
a goat that they twain were one, and that,
being one, she was as much a man as he
ever dared to be, and was therefore en
titled to ride the go- 1, they are by the
same process of reasoning also men, and
should be allowed to ride coats. And
they will demand of the populist party
that their rights be given them.
The Kearsarge Investigation.
Congress lias made an appropriation to
get the historical old Kearsarge off lion
cador bank. It is believed the vessel can
be saved, though if she should be, she
would be of very little value to tbs navy.
However, there is much property on
board of her which is worth a great deal
more than it will cost to save the vessel.
And even if there were no property to be
saved there is a sentiment connected with
the vessel that would justify a reasonably
large outlay to save her.
In the meantime the court martial in
quiry is going on as to the causes which
led to her being wrecked. When it was
reported that the Kearsarge had been
wrecked on Roncador bank in clear
weather old sailors were amazed and
wondered whether she could have been in
charge of a competent navigator.
According to the testimony of Lieut.
Lyman, who was her navigator, three
causes led to her loss, viz.: A defective
chart, the variability of the current and
the iailurc to sight Roncador beforedark.
T. . oil c rtial will determine, of
c rs ,w ii r those causes are sufficient
lo ivlteve li. navigator and the other
officers ut blame.
is said that no chart of Roncador
baui lias been made since 1835. If the
chart is defective, the question arises
wt'.mher : is sufficiently so to have caused
tie' ' '.i: *i r There is no testimony to
show tlim . 5 any neglect of duty. On
th mi trai l. .-very man appears to have
be, • t ice lost at the time the vessel
ground m the bank.
Roncador reef is a very dangerous one,
and if it is not properly marked on the
chart no time should be lost in marking it
properly. If this is not done other ves
sels by being misled by the chart may
meet the fale that overtook the Kear
sarge.
The Massachusetts legislature is con
sidering not only the stopping of skirt
dancing and the wearing of short skirts
on the stage, but also of saying who shall
and who shall not go lo theatrical per
formances. Senator Cronan has intro
duced a bill to reform the running of all
theaters, concerts, museums, public gar
dens, etc., and to prohibit any minor un
der lti years of age from attending any
theater unless accompanied by an adult.
Dr. Salome Meritt is partly responsible
for the bill, and is working to get the age
at which one may go the theater alone
raised to 18. Dr. Meritt is a woman, it
may be stated, lest her uncommon name
cause doubt.
The Kearsarge gets an appropriation of
£45,000 from the House even after she has
been wro. ked. Nobody will grumble
about the aupropriation, however, if it
lias the effect of putting a stop to the nu
merous Kearsarge memorial schemes that
have been suggested, including the one of
raising a lighthouse of the first-class on
Roncador reef, to he known as "Kearsarge
light.” If it can be arranged so that the
old ship shall be her own monument, well
and good; but let’s have no United States
lighthouses off foreign coasts merely for
the purpose of making a show.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Pence’s Unfortunate Explanation.
From the Washington Post (Ind.)
Congressman Pence had better have the 111
will of the gentlemen who are full of beer
than that of the gentlemen who are full of
ueard.
The “Conservativea” and the People.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem.)
If the so-called "Conservative" democratic
senators were mote ready for submission to
the will of the people the tariff bill would
soon be ready for submission to tho Senate.
Brice and the Income Tax.
From Charleston News and Courier (Dem.)
Senator Brice s strenuous opposition to the
income tax scheme will he regarded ai con
i iusive of the subject by people who learn
that he spends $150,0U0 a year tor housekeep

"Good Baptist Doctrine.”
From Springfield (Mass.) Republican (Ind.).
The Baptist ministers of Atlanta, Ga .
"most solemnly protest" against Congress
man Morse s move to Christianize the consti
tution as "bad politics and in d.rect violation
of tli“ great principles of freedom in re
ligious belief." This Is good Baptist doctrine,
lhat denomination also leads in opposing ex
emption of places of religious worship from
taxation on the same ground.
Mr. Cleveland's Second Term.
From the Chicago Record (Ind.).
Here is a president moving steadily In an
orbit described w-ith the ponderous compass
of duty as he understands the use of that in
strument. Apparently in his slow course
there is no paratiax. Doing what he thinks is
r.ght. and doing it determinedly, the final
verdict on the second administration of this
eminently trustworthy president is likely to
he that ho has done extremely well.
Standards of Statesmen.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
it is observed that most of the Indignation
aroused by Mr. Hewitt's stri; lures on the
decadence of'southern statesmen at Wash
ngton is among the southern statesmen at
Washington. ,ne reason, however, why it is
especially marked is that the southern stand
ard was formerly much higher than the north
ern. If the northern standard stands still
or has a less distance to fall, while the south
ern s andard sinks down to it. comment is
naturally directed to the southern rather
than the uotthern representatives in con
gress.
JDifference Between Sugar and Coal.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).
The Louisiana senators do well in Insisting
upon a duty on sugar, even to the amount of
IK cents a pound. This would not be more
than half ihe duty on sugar before the Mc-
Kinley iarlfl despoiled the treasury of reve
nue from this import. A duty of lq cents a
pound would bring tso.orxl.oixi to the treasury,
while affording some little accidental protec
tion to the Louisiana planters. But there is
no revenue of auy moment in protective du
ties on coal, iron ore and lumber, for which
some democratic senators are obstinately
contending These duties are well designed
lo despoil American consumers for the benefit
of monopoly.
Sovereign’s Intemperate Talk.
From the Philadelphia Ledger (Ind).

Strange Things Do Happen.
What is the explanation of it? The faets
are attested by several reliable persons, says
the Chicago Record.
One of the most prominent railroad men in
the state, and receiverfor a great corporation
was a guest at the Grand Pacific Hotel. This
was but a day or two ago. While he was at
the hotel h:s son and daughter came to take
dinner with him. That evening he went to
Mr. Paul Gores, the clerk, and said, "Charge
me with two extra dinners ’
Mr cores knew the daughter was at the ho
tel. but he ha 1 not seen the son, and for some
reason supposed that a girl friend of the
daughter had been the third person who took
dinner at the hotel. There is a rule of the
h- use that the name of every guest must be
entered on the register. So Mr. Gores opened
the t ook to put down the two names He just
wrote the name of Miss , the daughter.
1 hen he thought for a moment, and wrote l e
low it "Miss Warburton Cleveland.” Of
course Warourton was not the name he wrote,
and Cleveland was not the town but they will
do just as well and in every other particular
the story as told will t e exactly true to the
facts. He didn’t know why he wrote.
"Miss Warburton, Cleveland ” lie simply
• thought up" a fictitious name and put it on
the register, as he had often done before.
Next day when the guest came to pay his
bill the cashier looked up the account, and
said "You have been here three days, and
there are two extra dinners charged—one for
your daughter and one for Miss Warburton."
"Miss Warburton?”
"Yes: Miss Waruurton, of Cleveland. Is
there something wrong?”
two extra dinners is all right, but there’s
something wrong. How did that name get on
the register?”
“I don't know. I'm sure.”
"Well, I have a certain reason for asking,
and 1 wish you would look it up.”
So the clerks were questioned, and Mr.
Gores said he wrote down the name.
But how did you happen to get that name
an i that address'’”
T don t know. I m sure. I wrote the first
thing that came into my head.”
"That s the most extraordinary thing I ever
heard in all my life.”
T hey did not venture to ask questions, but
he told them any way. "Miss Warouton of
Cleveland was a dear friend of my daughter,
.she died atout three years ago under very
sad circi mstan.es. When my soa and daugh
ter were with me at dinner the other evening
we were talking o:'her, and I dare say my
son and daughter, whom 1 left up in the par
lor. were talking of her at the very moment
that name was written. I'm sure I didn't
mention her name in the hearing of any
clerk.”
“No,” said Mr. Gores. "It just came to
me."
Then they fell to wondering whether it was
simply an unexplainable coincidence or a
beautiful case of thought transference.
“Ve Vant Orders.”
One of the best known men in New York,
talking to a New York Sun reporter
the other day, said he did not
wish to go into the dry details of
the prospects of renewed activity in business
circles. He preferred to submit a letter
which he said was a faithful expression of the
real situat on in the mercantile world. This
letter, he added had reen submitted to him
as explanatory of the actual condition of
trade in lieu of reports from the mercantile
agencies. The letter says:

"Mabel, my child, come here.”
There was a world of tenderness in the

"You have always found me willing to make

against whom nothing can be said on the

You have discovered that. To encourage

The pampered child of luxury from Boston
was caught over night in a rough town in Mon
tana, says the Detroit Free Press. In the
dining room he was waited on by a kindly
cowboy waiter who had seen better days.
"Have you any lobster ala newberg?” he
asked, when he had Leen informed there was
no soup.
N'aw. but ther s some lobster a )a can. If
the cat ham t ct it.”
“Have you any pate <le foi gras?”
"N'aw. the dry weather killed It all off.”
"Have you any sweetbreads and peas?”
“Nary one: hain tgot any kind of broad but
sody biscuit.”
"Have you any terrapin?”
The waiter couldn t stand it anv longer.
“Lookee here, young feller," he said, pull

table very familiarly, you ain't built fer
Montana feed. What you ought to do Is to go

Hanniker Heaton has been gathering some
very interesting marriage statistics concern
ing the customs in vogue in different coun
tries. from which one reads with amusement,
and perhaps a certain degree of amazement,
that throughout Japan a man may get a di
vorce if his wife talks too much, says the
New York Sun. Ordinary people may sup
pose that this harsh law will have the effect
of curbing loquacity, but It has not. Japa
nese ladies are the most talkative of their
sex. and divorces are common among them.
In Thibet a woman is entitled to three hus
bands. In Melbourne a man may secure a di
vorce if his wife gets drunk three times, or if
she habitually neglects her household duties.
"The most cruel tribe among the North
American Indians is the Apaches,” said J. I.
Griswold, to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"I was In the far west during one of their out
breaks, and while 1 did not witness their
atrocities I talked with those who had. Their
captives arc tortured with knives, by fire
brands. and in every other way that the in
genuity of the savages can invent. I met one
man who had lived in the west for many
years, who carried a derringer pistol es
pecially for the purpose of killing himself,
should he exhaust his other firearms in a
fruitless attempt to escape capture. If taken
alive, he said he would use his derringer upon
himself, and consider that he was fortunate
in being able to escape by such a death the
tortures that would ensue if he became a
captive.”
The ancient use of a cross instead of a sig
nature was universal alike by those who
and by those who could not write, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. It was a symbol of an
oath from Its earliest associations. On this
account. Charles Knight, in his notes on "The
Pictorial Shakespeare.” explains the ex
pression, “God save the mark" (Henry IV)
as a form of ejaculation approaching to the
form of an oath. Kelly, in his "Comments on
Scotch Proverbs.” observes that the Scots,
when they used to compare person to person,
used the expression. "Save the mark. ' An
other explanation of the expression is that in
archery, when an archer shot well, it was
the custom to cry out. "God save the mark."
that is, prevent any one coming after to hit
the same mark and thereby displace the ar
row. Ironically, it was said to a novice, whose
arrow struck nowhere.
According to an Austrian scientist the
humming and singing of telegraph and tele
phone wires, which most people explain by
the action of tho wind are due to vibrations
caused by the changes of atmospheric tem
perature. and especially through the action
of cold. A lower.ng of temperature induces
a shortening of the wires extending over the
whole of the conductor. Thus a consider
able amount of friction is produced on tha
supporting tells, which evokes sound both
on the wires and poles. While this humming
has been going on birds have mistaken the
sounds for insects inside the poles and have
been seen to peek with their bills on the out
side. as they do upon the apple and other
trees. Ihe story is told of a beaf that mis
took the humming noise as coming from a
nest of bees and clawed at the pole and tore
away the stone as Its base in the hope of
hnding tne much conveted honey.
T inofficial report of the French ministry
of justice for HBJ has only just been issued,
and it contains particulars as to the opera
tion of the divorce act which came into force
in ISM. says the London Times. From that
date till Dec. 31. 1890, 38.377 petitions have
been lodged, and of these 3.1,870 had been suc
cessful. while 2 127 had been rejected and 2.080
had resulted in a compromise. Concurrently
with the increase in the number of petitions
for divorce the suits for separation decreased
having fallen from 2.470 in 1884 to 2 041 in IfcSD
The number of divorces and separations to
every 1,(00 marriages was resoectivelv
twenty four and five in ls9o. while sixty-three
eases out of 10) the petition was lodged by
the wife and In eighty-seven cas is out of 100
for a separation. More than half of the peti
tlons for divorce were lodged by the working
classes, whli' tradespeouie were 20 per cent
the liberal professions 12 per cent, farmers
and peasants 9 per cent and domestic ser
vants 7 per cent. In thirty-eight of every 100
cases the petitioning party had been married
from five to ten years in twenty eight from
ten to twenty years, in twenty two from one
to five years, in seven from twenty to thirty
years. In seventy-six of every 100 cases the
petition was based an the ground of cruelty
or desertion In twenty one upon the ground
of adultery and in three upon the plea that
the respondent had been condemned to penal
servitude.
Three reputable physicians of Mobile re
cently made some expe. iments on the person
of a man named Lartaao, a native of Trini
dad. 1 his man seemingly is a wonder. He
appears to be utterly oblivious to the sensa
tions of heat and cold and. in fact, experiences
no feeling of pain, eTen when undergoing
treatment that would cause an ordinary man
untold agony. He is 24 years old i 5 feet 7
inches in hlght, wei is 100 pounds, and is
perfectly sound mentally and physically. His
father was a Spaniard and his mother an Eng
lish woman A correspondent of the New
Orleans Times-Democrat witnessed the m.in
run through his neck down to and grazing the
trachea a piece of steel wire one-eighth ot an
inch in diameter, to which a most poweiful
galvanic battery was attached and shifted
from one current to another with
out any perceptible pain. but with
considerable acceleration of pulse. He passed
another large steel wire into his mouth and
through his cheek, in all directions, and no
blood flowed Another large wire was passed
through and through the large muscles of the
calf of the leg and between the biceps muscle
in line with the brachial artery, and through
the arm above the wrist, between the two
bones of the arm, and other like experiments
In different parts of lie body, all of which
with seemingly no pain and no bleeding from
auy place but a drop from the neck. In fact
each of the openinggs made by the instrument
closed up as bloodless and as easily as if the
man was constructed of India rubber. The
physicians present declared that it was the
most wonderful exhibition of freedom from
all pain they ever witnessed. The man never
flinched during any of the experiments, while
the Instruments were jabbed into him with no
more consideration than if he had been a
watermelon.
Camels are not like horses, says the Ashton
Reporter. II a horse does not want to do
anythin* we make him. If a camel does not
want to do anything he leaves it. undone. No
amount of coaxing no amount of cruelty will
make him budge. He has tho determination
of a mule combined with the strength of an
elephant. A camel is one of those aggrava
ting rules which will drive a hot-tempered
man to distraction. Nothing will persuade
him lo listen to reason. He will oppose your
will with a passive resistance that is abso
lutely unconquerable. Theonlvwayto treat
a camel is to humor if you cannot humbug
him. They will often lie down if you load
them with the proverbial last straw, and you
might beat them to death or offer up all the
pleasures of paradise before they would get
up. 'they are pig headed leasts. Sometimes
when they have quite a light load they turn
nasty and throw themselves to the ground
But although thov are obstinate, they are not
cute, and an Arab, by pretending to submit
can generally get the better of the
stubborn leasts. The drivers will ostenta
tiously remove three or four packages from
the load, and au animal, with an inward
chuckle of satisfaction, rises at once, without
perceiving that the parcels have meanwhiF
been returned to their former place. As he
flatters himself he has shirked some of his
duty he swings away with a light heart grati
fied beyond measure, like a spoiled child at
having its own way 'I he camel Is an unso
ciable beast. He is also habitually dull ex
cept when he is sniffing the salt air of the des
ert, When he is treading the sands, with the
burning sun on his bock and the boundless
waste before him he feels at home. ,he im
mense heat makes him bubble ovor with
pleasure and fills his frame with sublime in
toxication. It has been stated oo the best
authority that he can go nine days without
water. And if you had ever seen a camel
drink water when he does get a chance of
quenehin* his thirst you would not be sur
prised at this. They have been known to put
away seven gallons and a half at a time
