great fire, may help to guide, but
there is nought else. 1t would,
indeed, be difficult to understand
how this magnificent site for an

missed, not only in its first begin

by those who have successfully oc-

TyndaIl ON Spontaneous Genera.
tlOn


The closing words of Professor
TyndalPs recent lecture on the
"0ngin of Life" before the Royal
Institution in London were impor-
tant. He said:
"This discourse is but a summing
up of eight months of incessant
labor. From the beginning to the
end of the inquiry there is not, as
you have seen, a shadow of evil
dence in favor of spontaneous gem
Grafton. There is, on the contrary,
overwhelming evidence against it /;
but do not carry away with you the
notion sometimes enormously as
cribed to me, that | deem sponta-
neous generation impossible, or
that wish to limit the power of
matter in relation TO life. My
views on this subject ought to be
well known. But possibility is one
thing and proof is another; and
when in our day | seek for expert
mental evidence of the transiorma-
tion of the non-living into the
living, | am led inexorably to the
conclusion that no such evidence
exists, and that in the lowest, as in
the highest Of organized creatures,
the method of nature is tfat life
shall be the issue of antecedent
life" 1sW

Nelson's Appreciation of Himself,

The murder of Prince Caracciolo
and all the other bad doings at Ma

And whence did that infatuatlon
arise? 1t has been asserted that
Nelson gradually became estranged
from his wife because she did not
take enough interest in his career,
and seemed hardly to know that her
husband was the idolized hero Of

THE Rcueilte has a leading editorial
inveighing against the existence OF
lodges in this district, all of which
goes to prove that the RereilIe is not
informed on the subject of which it
treats. Whether they are lodges, de-
posts or ore channels, it is true that
we havea mineral bearing belt five
miles in extent. This belt is as we'll
defined and as easily traced as the
Main street of Austin. An immense
quartzite dixie on the west forms the
foot wall, and a shale formation on
the past constitutes the hanging wall.
All ore bodies of any magnitude or
value are found between these two
formations. 1t is Enthusiastically what
biologists denominate a contact vein.
The Comstock itself is no better de-
fined than the great Eureka lode, belt,
fissurs or whatever it may be termed.
We may have more than one ledge be-
tween the formations noted, but it is
certain that the most productive Chin
neys lie contiguous to the q~usrtzite
dixie or foot wall.

LONDON, May IL.
There Is nothing in the Russian
movement to indicate where they will
attempt to cross the Danube. Proba-
bly, n crossing will be effected be-
tween Brahilot and Ismael. A dis
patch from Bucharest remarks that
the heavy movement of the Russian
troops to the westward of Brahilot in
dictates the purpose of occupying the
greater part or the whole Of the Rou-
msnian bank of the Danube. This
will prove perplexing to the Turks, as
they can not oppose an equal force at
all points and they must leave some
places vulnerable to sudden cOncen
tration Of the Russians for the passage
of the river. The movement OF Turk
ish troops in the Dobrudcha is sug-
gestive of an intention of retiring the
force there to the second line of de-
tense, leaving the crossing of the DAN
ube comparatively unopposed. The
Russians have constructed a very in
genious p~ontoon bridge at the mouth
OF the Sereth, which will be towed
into the Danube and anchored there
almost ready for the immediate pas
sage of troops.
