A dispatch from Pittsburg says that the trust has named a price of eighty cents a bundle lor cotton ties in lots of 10.000 "for next season's delivery." The prevailing price during the cotton season has been $1.20. Bradstreet's savs there is much speculation as to tbe cause of the reduction. Some think it is fear of competition, some to encourage tbe planting oi a large crop oi cotton thus creating' a large demand for ties, but neltner seems to be satisfactory. This comment from the Charleston News and Courier is nertlnent: "The most interesting feature of the moe, as it appears to us, is the fact which it exhibits ot the power of the monopoly to fix the price of an article of so large demand and importance at its arbitrary will and pleasure, without regard to any industrial or other condi tion, u it can anora to sell ties to oau tbe next cotton crop at 80 cent! per bnndle, it could as well have afforded to sell tbem at that price last year. The added 50 per cent was a pure exaction, rendered effective, of course, only by the tariO by which tne trust is protected." New Trans-Paclflc Line. San Francisco, Cal..

The Arab who has angered a camel will throw his clothes upon the ground, end the infuriated beast, after stamp ing on them and tearing them asunder with his teeth, goes on. his way. and the driver is thereafter, quite safe, as it seems to be an axiom with - the camel that no man shall be put in peril of life twice for one offense. ( '.. ' The camel is stupid, save when angry.' and then seems to become, almost pre ternatural in carrying out its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates the following story of a camel's revenge, which serves to illnstrate this point VA lad of 14 had conducted a large camel laden with wood from one village to another at a half hour's distance. - As the animal loitered or turneft out of the way its conductor struck It repeatedly and harder than it seemed to have thought he had a right to do.' But not finding the occasion favorable f of taking imme diate quits it 'bode its time. ' That time was not long in coming. - "A few days' later the same lad had to reconduct the beast, but unladen,- to bis own.iillaga WhenJexware about half way on the road and at some dis tance from any habitation, the camel suddenly stopped, looked deliberately round in every, direction to assure it self that no one was in sight and, find ing the road clear of passersby, made a step forward, seized the unlucky boy's head in its monstrous mouth, and. lift ing him up in the air, flung him down again on the earth with the upper part of his skull completely torn off. "Having thus satisfied bis revenge, the brute quietly resumed its pace to ward the village, as though nothing were the matter, till some men, who had observed the whole, though unfor tunately at too great a distance to be able to afford timely help, came up and killed it "London Telegraph, : NOT THE ONLY ONE. Spencer. In That LoealHy Were ns Thick as Blaeatbcrrlea. , . A half yearly meeting of the directors who manage the Northampton private asylum had just broken up, and Lord Spencer, a member of that body, desir ing to reach Althorp Park somewhat more quickly than customarily, deter mined to return borne byfa route which intersects the grounds of the asylum and which is rarely used savs as a sum mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics. Arrived at the gate which separates the asylum from the ; outer world. Lord Spencer, much to his annoyance and disgust, found it securely locked. A keeper, however, happening to come in sight just at that moment Lord Spencer lost no time in explaining to him the nature of his wishes.. : V -; ,'y The man surlily replied that bis or ders were to the : effect that no one should pass through that gate except due notice were given to him to the contrary by the authorities, and that, being a married man with a wife and a large family, he failed to understand what special advantage was to be gain ed by transgressing the rules and thus placing his situation in jeopardy. Ob serving that the fellow was growing ob durate. Lord Spencer thought it beet to reveal his name and rank, imagining that a knowledge of the same would re call the man to his senses. Nothing of the sort happened, -however. The stolid features of the keeper sim ply relaxed into a broad grin, and as he turned to depart, he gently explained that Lord Spencers in that particular locality were as plentiful as blackber ries in the autumn time. Explanations and expostulations were useless, the dis comfited earl being forced to return the way ha had come. Wit and Wisdom. .
