A few days ago I had my first ride on a camel, and I thought it would be my lost. It was to go to our camp that I got erws-legged upon a Arab saddle, insecurely fastened by strings upon the back of great, lumbering, humpbacked brute. I no sooner attempted to take my place on the saddle than the camel, which was lying prone, into whioh position he had been forced, legan granting like ui. old village pnmp violently worked. At the same time he turned his prehensile lips aside, grinning like a bull -dog, and showed a grinning row of teeth, which he sought to close upon me. I got aboard without accident, and had not long to wiut
for a rise. The first movement, as ne lifted his forelegs, nearly sent me over backward; the next, as he straightened his hind legs, still more nearly tipped

that they have secured his eminent abilities for that high office. Good party principles, tbe address said, could produce no practical results for the people until the party whioh holds them could secure the offices in the
government so as to enforce and exempiiry the principles. The address continued as follows: "We think that, notwithstanding

The applause thit 'greetel the Senatorelect when he arose to respond to the address was tnmnltuons in its enthusiasm. It lasted two minutes. Mr. Evarts said, among other things: "I have no desire to conceal from you that the actual circumstanc-s whioh marked the transaction of the election, and that found an echo in your kind applnnse, rests upon something more important thau marks anything personal to myself or auything in the ordinary routiue of jwlitical promotion. We, t s Bepublican party, that were frame! into the means of saving this country, and that tbrough every danger and against evf ry obstacle, and with every degree of triumph and prosperity have built np on uninitiated territory and an uncorrojited constitution to b tne iter and butter than it
was evuffflaaioo or miaguwu by tne great founders of our Government; we, the Republican party, find ourselves cast out of power and surrendering to a reactionary party the possession of the same nation and

years since the people of this Government
intrusted the .executive power to a democratic party and a Democratic President Now again they have intrusted thntpower to
the same party ana a I'resment ot tnat party's selection. We in New York cannot conceal from ourselves that the center of the array of the Bepublican party in the United States was pierced at this point that was committed to our defense. No doubt some bitterness of reproach might be, should be, and is felt in Connecticut, in New Jersey, and in Indiana that, when New Yorkfai'ed, there was not an army of sufficient strength to succeed and to save the downfall of the pirty's possession of the Government if the United States. But, look at it as you will, we can not disguise it at all from oarselves; wc can not hide it fiom tho great party of the nation that the defense, the protection, the power that was intrusted to this State, was not adequate to perform the pait, and in the fall uf this great defense fell, at least for the nioment the possession of tie fortress of the Constitution. Now, 1 ",m :aotw6hg in saying, I am sure the history of the election teaches us all, that the Republican manhood and sober patriotism in tiii State fairly counted a majority of che neonle. if we had all agreed among our
selves. If the Bepublicaus iu this gre.it State had been able to look alike upon their duty and their service Nov. -if we should not now lament a transfer of the power of our party to the reactionary part?? of the bricucmts. Well, it so happened that thert was one stronehold in ih Govern

Curious Payment for Land in England.
Gloves of various kinds were fre
quently presented in service for lands. Thus, two farms at Oarlcoats, in York
shire, paid "the one a right hands- and
the other a left hand glove yearly;"
and some lands in Elnietale, in the
same county, were held of tip king "by
the service of paying at- the Uastie of Pontefraot one pair of gloves furred with fox skin, or eighteen pence yearly;" while for t'le manor of Elston, in
.Nottingham, were rendered two pairs of gloves, together with a pound of cummin seed, and a steel needle. Needles are met with s-veral times, but
one instance must here snifioe cwhere
xtoger, for some time tailor tt our
lord the king," held lands in H&llingbury, Essex, by paying at the king's exchequer "one silver needle ytiarly."
Still more curious is the service for cer
tain lands in Bode, Northampton, which consisted in finding 'one horse of the price of 5s. and one sack of the
price of 4 l-id., with one small pin, for forty days." Probably this "small pin" was similar to the skewer noticed above, and was used to fasten, or attach, the sack, whioh may have been employed to carry fodder to the horses. That the horses were tolerably cared for, even in those days, seems to be proved by the fact that the manor of Oherburgh, in Dorset, was held "by the service of one horse-comb, price 4L, to be paid yearly," and that certain landii in the hundred of Losenberg, in tho same county, were held "of our lord the king, by the serjeantry of finding a certain horse-comb, or currycomb.
etc.'' Among other miscellaneous
services by which lands were held may be mentioned certain instances of hose.
Thus. Oottington, in Nottingham, wa
held by the service of piesenting to thn king a pair of scarlet hoso yearly ; E-
dreaneld, in Worcester, was neiu oy

SOME PROPHECIES. Mr. Evarts said that if ho was to believe
tbe generous congratulations he had received and the preen of the country, "We are nearer to a union and enthusiasm for the
party, as a party and nothing else, man we have been since 1860, and I believe that as
we enter upon the contest in the conduct oi the Government and in the suffrage so we shall pull through it daring the ; coming
years. We are as sure as min eiecuon mwu

Speeches by President Arthur and Senator
Sherman Wiuthrop's and Darnel s Eloquent Orations. The completion of the Washington Monument was celebrated ot the National Capitol with great rejoicings. The ceremonies
opened with an address by Senator bherman at the monument The Hon. W. W. Corcoran formally presented the obelisk to the United: States, and President Arthur accepted it with an appropriate response. Masoqic rites followed, at tbe conclusion of which a procession was formed, which was reviewed on its way to the Capitol by the President and Gen. Sheridan. In the House of llepresenlativea, where both branches of Congress were assembled, together with the Diplomatic Corps, the Judiciary, and many distinguished guests, Mr. Edmunds' brief Speech was followed by the address of the day, written by the Hon. Bobert C. Wmthiop, and read by Representative John D. Long. An eloquent speech by Joha W. Daniel, of Virginia, practically conoiuded the ceremonies. THE INDICATION.
Exsri
the boreal blast that swent over tbe
city, says Washington correspondent, and the discomforts attending the oul-door exercises, the ereat Washington Monument was dedlcated with all oi the intended pomp, and with little less than the anticipated enthusiasm. Pennsylvania avenue was festooned and garlanded with bright bunting and national emblems until it seemed arched wf.th a compact mass of beautifully blended colors. At an early hour the shivering- spectators began to arrive at tbe grand stand, just is the shadow ot the monument, tbe first to claim a neat being Ebenezer Burgess Ball, of London County, Ya a member of the Washln.jto n family. There were present of tbe descendants and relatives of Washington : Mrs. Lewis Washington, vice-reg nt for Virginia in the Mount Vernon Association; her step-son, J. 1!.
