THE VICTORY OF PATIENG {Helen Hunt Jackson in Atlantic.) Armed of the Gods! Divinest conquarpr! What soundless hosts are thine! Nor pomp, nor state, Nor token, to batray where thou dost wait.

London Telegranh.] No European army has made a study of the eamel, and the ignorance of its masters is fatal to the beast. Its routine of life is direeted, or should be, upon prin ciples as immutable as the laws that gov ern the solar 8 stem. Its e istence has all the rigid formality of a legal process To disorganize, disarrange a camel is to spoil it. to hustle it is to kill it. Spleen, liver complaint, heart disease, are the re sult of irregulurities in hours or habits it breaks wu) altogether under unusual conditions of life. You cannot work one of these beasts to death if you use it in a proper way. But anything out of the common shrivels it it up—destroys it. Its timidity is of the stupid, superstitious kind. “Substantial causes for fright, such as would alarm an intelligent horse, are disregarded by the camel Yet it will take fright for no reason whatever, or next to pone. And, thea, as is always the case with the unreasoning, it passes in a moment from perplexity to panic. The only plan, therefore, when convoy- ing with camels through an enemy's coun try is to hobble the animals as soon as dunger threatens The moment the scou's fail back the camels should be made to sit down and their legs should le Kkuee halt ered in sucha way thai they ean not move Jet their tremor be what it may. | ou their legs hey sre stamj eded. and all ‘or once trying to conx asand-storm to stop.

To reach it requires a dan eerous and dilicult journey, to subsist after one has arrived is still a more didi. cult task, and to explore the country thor oughly is impossible. Wild beasts and wiider savages Infest its desert sands and pathless forests, and a stupendous moun. tain chain throws up an impassable wall from end to end along its center. To-day Lower California is substantially the sama! as when Cortez and his hardy crew sailed around its unknown shores—the same trackless forests, unexplored mountains, and uncultivated prairies, except whee, here and there, a solitary ranchman lus muule the desert bloom by irrigation Lack of water is the bane of the penin. sula, tut whenever irrigation is possible the strong virgin soil yields most luxuri- antly. The few insiguificant rivers that come tumbling down from the mountains are all short, sballow streams, which are dry through the long, hot summers, but become exeeedingly dangerous torrents during the annual season of rains. There are several copious springs in the interior, but invariably the streams flow along a rocky course and are lost in subterranean channels. Io winter the rains are terrific, but of short duration, accompanied b tremendous tornadoes of wind which sweep every particle of soil from ex posed postions into the ses, leaving the luckiess ranichman the alternative of seeking pass tures new or plying his vocation on a bed 0. bare rock.
