The woaLp.-Thers is always an

the population of the world about the
doom Of the planet in which they live.
They anticipate the end of tho world, and
whilst o few prepare for it, the vast ma
jority satisfy themselves with dreading
it. Awriter in the North British Rerieir,
among others, has lately Joined the
ranks of these a~nticipators Of the end Of
the world, aud declares that some change
il soon to take place in the planet. He
writes in rather u frightened vein, and
says: "What this change is to be we
dare not even conjecture; but we see in
the heavens themselves some traces of
destructive elements, and some indica-
tons of their power, The fragments of
broken planets, the descent Of meteoric
stones upon our globe, the wheeling
comets welding their loose materials in
u W satellite, the appearance of
new stars aud the disappearance of 9TH
ers, are as the solar furnace, the VOL
canic e%ruptions, foreshadows of that
impending CONFUSION to which the sys-
TEN Of the world is doomed. Thus
placed on n planet which is to be burned
up, and under the heavens which are to
pass away; thus treading, as it were, on
the cemeteries, and dwelling upon the
mausoleums Of former worlds, let us
learn the lesson of humility and wisdom,
il We have not already been taught in
the school Of revelation"
On, THE Poor SAvAGEsl-we learn
from a gentleman of Gold Hill, who was
a passenger ON the Idaho stage which
arrived at Hunters Station on the True
kee o day or two ago, that among other
articles of freight on the stage, on their
way to San Francisco, were several
bows and arrows, which had been taken
from Indians up in Idaho, who were
killed in skirmishes with the white set
tiers, which actually were adorned with
sinews or cords taken from the legs of
white men who were killed by the In
dians! The arrows, too, were very
formidably pointed, some Of them with
sharp points Of steel, and others with
sharp f~int-stones. determination of
blood-thirsty Indians in the Rocky Noun
tains and on the Plains, is really the
only true policy for the pioneer settlers.
Any other course is nothing but false
philanthropy, and an injustice to the
white pioneers on the frontiers. The life
Of an intelligent white man or woman is
worth moro for the good of the country
than Eve hundred of the best red devils
that ever scalped q white person. y
residence of nearly eighteen years west
of the Mississippi has fully convinced
us Of this fact.
An ANALYSIS OF Foop.-It is stated
that a hungry man who sits down before
q pound of beefsteak, tender, juicy, and
an inch thick, and eats it, will End upon
analysis that 65 per cent. Of his steak
was water; that Is per cent. will go to give
him an a%ldermanic leshiness; and that
IA per cent. is assigned to warm him,
and make him feel comfortable on a
cold day. OF the iesh-formiug ingre-
dients, according to DR.. Playfair, every
one, on an average, requires 90 pounds
annually to keep up a proper bodily
condition. If il is not formed from
steaks, then it must be secured from
something else. Cheese is u great flesh
former $50 per cent, aud, taken with
beer, speedily concealS all traces OF un-
slightly bones. Two ounces of flesh
formers per diem will keep a mar alive
If he is not forced to labor, but hard
labor requires six, or the body will run
short of starch and sugar, and go be-
midland In health and strength. In
100 parts of wheat there are 10 pounds
Of flesh, but there is nearly double the
amount in the same quantity OF oatmeal.
BALpy GREEN TO BIZ EPAuLETED?-The
Postmaster-G General has under consider
alton the propriety of requiring letter
carriers and mail drivers to wear a dis
tinctive dress. The prejudice of civil
officers against n uniform has gradually
died ont in the United States, and now
policemen, the most numerous class, are
seen in every city patrolling their beats
designated, so that any one claiming as
sistance may know at once to whom to
apply for aid. Hence it may be antic-
ipated that no obstacle will be placed
in the way of the proposed plan by the
hostility of the subordinate agents OF
the Post Office. The only matter, then,
for serious consideration, will be the
benefits accruing to the public service.
To-NreHr.-That notorious humbug,
Johnny Edwards, who has a face as
black as the king of spades, and who
reads Shakespeare equal to Ned Forrest,
or any other man, told Pike not even
excepted) has the assurance to impose
another benefit on Eddington x Black
burn, for his own pocketl But, we e1-
pect he will have a full house again ; 1t
would be just like him and "Johnny
Schneider" as both Of them get up
such ALTERED humbug programmes to
make people "laugh till they can't
stand" We hope Edwards spent up
Utica" will bust tonight, and great
NAV be the flow therefrom. We would
sugges, that Barnum send for this young
humbug.
LARGE DrvIDESD.-The heaviest divi-
dend of the year, on the Comstoek, was
declared yesterday in Gold Hill. The
Eclipse Mill and Mining Company de-
clared a dividend of fifteen hundred dol
lars per share. Any Of our relations
who may hold certificates of stock in
this company can draw their dividends
through us, as we are acquainted with
the Superintendent, Charley Foreman,
and the Secretary, Mr.. Hodges. We
should like to draw a few of these divi-
dends, just for the fun Of the thing.
PrPER's.-Do you want to spend the
fore part Of the night in being amused
Then 60 to Piper's, and get in one
of the galvauic troughs, called benches,
and if Tuers, Rhosdes, Sprung and the
"gals' don't pour the the fluid Of cleo
trifying fire into you, it's a caution.
Longer and stronger bill than usual to-
night on account of the weather.
DAN WASHED AwAy.-The gulch dam,
about fifteen or twenty feet high, imme-
diately this side of the Pacific Mill, right
hack of the old Pioneer Foundry, in
lower Gold Hill, was washed away last
night. Three or four hundred dollars
Of dam damage is thus said to have
