SLAVERY AMONG THE ANTs.-Amonp
ants the habit of slave-making, as discov-
cred by the German naturalist, Huber, is
ono of the wonders of the animal king
dom. This habit belongs to the ANA
IONS or red ants of South Africa. These
leave their own dwelling in the evening,
and go to that of some tribe of black ants
with the intention of making captives.-
The assailed are, however, not to submit
so tamely. They organize for the de-
fense and resist their assailants furiouslv.
The battle is long and fierce, sometimes
one side, sometimes the other, having the
advantage. But, not stopping TO dilate
upon the contest, we can say the Anna
IONS may be defeated, but they will
probably conquer, and after killing or
rendering helpless all their adult foes, de-
scend into the dwelling, make captive and
convey the larvae and young to their
homes. This done, and the slaves being
trainedlto their new condition, the captors
give themselves up to life of ease, and
become SO enervated and imbecile as to
be unable to take care of themselves. If
after short time, their slaves are remov-
ed, the tribe will die for want of food
The distinguished naturalist to whom l
referred, took colony and removed their
serfs. The result was that the tribe was
dying rapidly, when a single slave was
introduced, and was Immediately set to
work supplying food, rearing young, and
In every respect caring for the body, SO
that in a few hours life and vigor -four
ished where had been only indications Of
infrmity and death.

MINES AND MINING
IN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.

OWING TO THE DELAYS that have
" attended the printing and distribution
of the Reports of the Commissioners on
Mining Statistics, these carefully pre-
pared and otherwise useful publications,
have failed to keep the world duly posted
in regard to the condition and progress of
mining affairs on the Pacific Coast, the
information conveyed through this me-
dium being already many months old by
the time it reaches the eye of the general
public. With view to furnishing fresh
intelligence on mining topics, and bring
ing the history Of this great industry down
to the most recent date, the undersigned
will, on or about the first of February
next, issue a large octave volume, de-
voted to a consideration of mining mat
ters, as they exist at the present time, in
the States of California and Nevada. In
the fulfillment of this purpose the author
will at once visit every important district
and locality in these States that has not
already been lately examined or heard
from through reliable channels, to the
end that the information embodied in this
volume may be recent and authentic.
The great aim will be to fill the book with
live practical matter wherefore, only
such properties as have been brought to a
productive condition, or as have, through
developments made, established for them
selves good degree Of actual or pros
pectve merit will receive attention nor
will any notice be bestowed on processes
or appliances other than such as have met
with approval after extended working
tests.
This work will be printed on the best
quality Of paper, and be elegantly and
substantially bound, the design being to
impart to it such mechanical excellence
as will reflect credit upon the bookmak-
ing art in California.

THE UNIVERSAL VERDICT:
6 The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chine the Champion rs

These unequalled Machines do all the differ
ent kinds of work required to be done in
family, and make all the different kinds of
Stitches without the complications of tho
other Machines.
All persons will please examine the Wprr1 I'm
" WILSON SEWING MACHINES before purchase
ing any other.
The WHEELER Il WILSON, as Is well known.
has won, at nearly every trial in which it has
competed, the highest award of merit. The
representatives of other machines, ever conf
dent, have entered the lists, time and again,
only to be defeated and finding it impossible
to compete fairly, have endeavored to decry
t the value OF Preminms. They are not slow,
But in the grand trial, daily use throughout
the. world, where only true merit finds favor,
and superiority wins the race, the WHEELER &
WILSON SEWING MACHINE stands triumphantly
the Champion by the verdict of the people.
These Machines are Adapted to
Every Variety of Sewing,
From the lightest muslins to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upon Silk,
Linen, Wooien or Cotton goods, with Silk,
Linen or Cotton thread; Scanning, Quilting,
Gathering, Hemming. Telling, Cording, Tuck
ing, Braiding, Embroidering and making But
ton Holes with the greatest facility.
If it be inconvenient for the purchaser to
visit the salesrOOm, the order may be forward
ed to the office, and it will be as faithfully
hlled as If the selection had been made per-
sOnally.
Full instructions, recently compiled, and
giving full information upon every point in
detail, accompany each Machine, and enable
the most inexperienced to operate without
difficulty.
Our interest in the successful working of the
Machines is not second to that of the purchas-
er, and we esteem it a privilege to aid, by cor
respondence or otherwise, any person who may
require it.

1t is elegantly gotten up, and the
colorcd double Petuuia-full page
which alolnS this numberis charming.
We look upon Nick's Guide as the

table gardeners to send him y cents,
the cost per year, and secure the four
numbers. We notice in this number
shat Mr.. Nick proposes a charity
which is worthy Of wide mention.-
The people Of the West having suf-
fered greatly by the rayages Of the
graSShopper are now in great desti-
tuition, and especially are they in need
of seeds, and for this as we'll as to
procure food, contributions are asked
for them III money. Mr.. Iick says
that contributions sent to him will be
sent to them, and that he will add five
hundred dollars to whatever fund is
raised. This is a most liberal PROPOSE
ton, and We are glad to give it the pub
licity which ii mcffts. Mr.. Wick also
offers several valuable premiums in
cash for floral collections, and We ad-
wise amateurs to send for the Guide,
that they may ascertain the particulars.
