Losr A woRD.-A correspondent Of
the Stockton (Ca.) Ladtpsndeni. signing
himself ]. d. s.. says he has lost a
word which expresses that peculiar
quality which some words in the En-
| clish language have OF conveying an
IDEA OF their meaning by their sound-a
| quality different and distinct from allit-
Grafton, but resembling that taken nd
vantage Of by musical composers to con-
vey certain meanings Enthusiastically by
the sounds Of the notes; rs. for instance,
the we'll known instrumental piece Tam
O'Shantsr, where the measured trot,
breaking into q gallop, OF Tam's mare,
fleeing from the boglcs, Is as clear and
distinct as though m heard the real
thing. The same quality In compost.
ton occurs frequently in Virgil, and
particularly in the passage commencing
e Quadruped ante Cano," 1.-The buzz
| xinp Of the bees" "Ths clamor and the
| claneor Of tho bells" and "The silken,
sad, uncertain rustling OF each purple
curtain" arv instances OF this quality.
The writer appeals to tho infallible
oracle OF the press" for information.
Ornomaiopria IL, without doubt, the
word this Stockton man Is hunting.
Morr LITIGATION AHrAp.-A gentle
man who Is ranked rs a mining expert,
pointed to Parkinson's map Of tho Com

claims yesterday and remarked to those
present: ~ can SEQ a thousand law
suits on that map" Any n who will
examine the map and notice how the
claims lap over and cross and cover
another, will realize ut once the force OF
his assertion. Nothing is more evident
than that the great interests at stake
will lead to suits and litigation almost
unendine. All this will be to the ben
eft Of lawyers and attorneys, and the
old saying will be again exempliied
that tits an i'll wind that blows no n
good.
"CARRrrSo CoAIs."-As n OF tho
vagaries Of custom. 1t may DO noticed
that there wa this morning a carload
OF leo shipped to Virginia. This, too.
while the streets Of that city are covered
to the depth OF two or three feet with
snow and ice. Nothing will better illus
trate the advantage which Science has
gained over Nature. for the people OF
Nevada hnd Il cheaper to buy ice manu-
featured in California than to get tho
sams kind OF an article from their own
ponds and lakes.
