Fine Ore.

George Lovelock, the irrepressible
prospector and founder of Lovelock
station, brought piece of ore to town,
from Arabia district, which is rich in
gold, silver and lead and antimony.
1t is from the War Eagle mine, on
which Mr.. Lovelock has had shaft
sunk 50 feet deep. The War Eagle is
located few thousand feet north of
the Montezuma mine, and at the depth
stated carries two aud half feet of
solid ore, which assays from 500 to
$3.50 in silver and from S25 to Sl35 IN
gold to the ton, besides As per cent in
lead and anthony. Mr. Lovelock
richly deserves to be the owner of a
rich mine, and we hope he has it in the
War Eagle.

A CIDER Mill.

Farmer Guthrie went to the Califor-
MIA State Fair few days ago. Last
evening he sent home cider mill which
was unloaded at the depot, where it
created quite sensation. Many would
not believe that it was what it was rep
scented to be, as they could not see
what it could be used for in this
country. Its owner, however, knew
what he was about when he bought it.
He has a fine orchard on bis ranch,
tweve miles south of town, and lots of
apples this year, some of which he in
tends to make elder from. 1t is the
first mill of the kind ever brought to
this part of Nevada.

A Srnash-nn.

The emigrant and freight trains that
left here going east night before last
met with an accident near Cluro, which
resulted in the smashing of a caboose
and the crippling of an engine. From
what we can learn of the affair. it ap
pears that No 5, the head train, was
delayed by the engine getting out of
order, where the road makes a sharp
turn, and No 7, the second train, ran
into it. Fred. Benson, Conductor of
No. 7, was slightly injured by the
shock of the collision; the other train
men and passengers on the emigrant
train fortunately escaped unhurt.

Is Mars Inhabited Z

There is no other planet of the solar
system which offers SO close an analogy
to the earth as Mars The telescope re-
veals to us the figures of broad tracts of
land and expenses of sea upon its sur
face. The durations of his day and night
almost coincide with our own. His ek-
terror experiences the alternating changes
of the seasons. His nights are illumined
by two satellites, which present all the
phenomena of our own moon, and more
frequently, owing to their greater veloc-
ity. An atmosphere probably surrounds
this planet; in fact, the existence Of air is
indispensable to his other features.
Hence, the inference that Mars is hab.
liable globe appears very obvious and
fair conclusion, and it would be incon-
sistent to imagine that this planet, pro-
vided, apparently, with all the requisite
natural facilities to render life necessa-
ry and desirable feature Of his surface, is
sphere of desolation, a mass OF inert
matter, which, though conforming to the
laws of gravitation, is otherwise serving
no useful end as the abode and susie.
nance of animated creatures. 1t is far
more in accordance with analogy and
rational speculation to conclude that
Mars is the center of life and activity,
and that his surface is teeming with hV'
ing beings. -Sciepce for AL.

Nothing Wasted.

| There is beef packing company at
Rockport, Arkansas County, Texas,
owned and run by Boston men, who
market for the products in the New En-
gland States, Europe and the English
Navy. The factory kills an average of
81 800 CRASHED beeves year, and finds
a ready market for their products.
Every part of the beef is utilized, even
to the tuft of the tails, which are all pre-
served and sold, it is thought for the
purpose of making ladies' frizzes. The
blood flows into tanks and is dressed and
sold at two cents pound for the manu-
facture of artificial fertilizers. The lean
beef is boiled and canned in two-pound
cans. The hides are sailed and sold
green. The fatty matter is all extracted
and goes to make tallow. The bones
are all boiled to a pulp to extract its
fatty matter which goes to tallow, and
the dry bone, mainly phosphate of lime,
is sold for fertilizing, at one cent
pound. The water in which the meat is
boiled is boiled down and evaporated to
thick paste, which is canned and sold
as "extract of beef in fifty pound
cans. The feet are cut off at the knee,
and from the hoof ''neat's foot" oil is
extracted. The horny part of the foot,
the shin bone and the knuckle bones of
the foot, are extracted and sold in the
East for the manufacture of Yankee
ivory. The horns are piled up until the
pith becomes loose, and then this is
added to the fertilizers, and the bones
sold for manufacture. Every atom of
the animal is used.-New England Home

The Porcelain Regiment.

A paper has lately been discovered in
the State archives of Saxony which con-
tains some curious particulars concerning
the corps longs long known to the Prus-
sian service as the Porcelain Regi-
ment,'' and from which the First Dra-
goons and the Third, Fourth and Fifth
Regiments of Cuirassiers claim to have
sprung. According to tradition, the
regiment was bought by King Frederick
William, Of Prussia, from the King OF
Poland for some costly porcelain vases;
and the documents lately found in the
Saxon archives show that substantially
the tradition was correct. The men were
valued at twenty thalers each, and the
whole regiment at $4,000 thalers; while
the porcelain given in exchange for them
was considered to be worth considerably

THE -UHhIW-NdD.

The year stood at its equinox,
And bluff the North was blowing,
A bleat of lambs came from the hocks,
Green hardy things were growing;

Where milky kline were lowing.
She wore her kerchief on her neck,
Her bare arm showed its dimple,
Her apron spread without a speck,
Her air was frank aud simple.
She MIXED into wooden pail,
And sang country ditty.

That was not wise nor witty,

Unless she tapped time with her feet.

Stood silent for a minute.

She turned her head to see me,
Good day" she said, with lifted head
Her eyes looked soft and dreamy.
And all the while she MIXED and MIXED

Afflicted France.

From special cable dispatch our

i"l3, 10, 14'' puzzle has made its way
across the ocean, and is atpresent bewil-

bilties of the coming fortnight, aud Mr..
Evarts may have his first opportunity to
offer an apology from the United States

mere apology will be sufficient, however,
is yet to be learned. Nations have de-
clared war for smaller reason than the
introduction by another people of causes
OF distraction and torment, and French
fleet may yet be sent to the Potomac to
demand satisfaction. A blockade of all
French ports against vessels coming from
the United States is as small penalty as
we have right to expect under the cir
cumstances, and as slight measure of
self-protection as France can honorably
take. What course the malady will fol-
low as it spreads-and spread it must
is impossible to predict; but Germany
can hardly escape, no matter how stern
ly Bismarck may force repressive pro-
ceedings. Once across Germany and
into Russia, however, the puzzle will be
a blessing in disguise, for even Nihilists
must give up all ordinary work when
subjected to such an influence But for

present concern itself; our sad national

The History OF the BayOnet.

The history of the bayonet is thus set
forth in the catalogue of General
Pitt Rivers anthropological collection,
which the British Government will
probably buy for the public benefit and
place upon exhibition in the South Ken
sington museum: In the early part of
the seventeenth century it was found
necessary to retain the use of pikemen
in the infantry on account OF the de-
fenseless position Of the firelockmen
when the enemy approached to close
quarters. To remedy this defect they
were accustomed about the middle Of
the century to stick the handles Of their
daggers in the muzzles of their guns in
order to use them as pixies. OF course,
when the dagger was so fixed the gun
could not be fired. But as many of the
daggers had rings at the guard, the
men saw the expediency Of fastening
the dagger to the muzzle Of the piece
by means of the ring Soon the dag
ger or plug bayonet was so secured to
the outside of the barrel that the fire.
lock could be loaded and discharged
although the bayonets were fixed. Tho
British had their first experience Of
what may be called the compound pike
and gun in the time Of William ILL.,, in
one Of the Flanders campaigns and
they ''sworc terribly" no doubt, when
they found that their opponents could
fire at them with fixed bayonets. Riv-
ers' collection shows all the transition
stages Of the bayonet from the plug
handle to the modern tube-and-catch
attachment This is only a sample
brick, so to speak, Of the civil and war
like groupings of man from precedent
TO precedent to his present condition.
We have fine opportunity of doing
something Of the same kind on this con-
tinent, and the marvel is why some men
of wealth do not embrace II, and SO So

ant department OF science. MN

Was it Murder?

VINcENNEs, Ind, Dec. 1.-Another death,
shrouded in mystery, has occurred in this
vicinity where so many occurrences of sim
liar natdre have taken place during the past
year. John Munkmire, a young man about
20 years of age, on account of poor parents,
has been sheltered in the Knox county poor
asylum for a number of months. Last
Sunday he ran away from that institution,
and although diligent search was made IN
the neighborhood, nothing could be
learned of his whereabouts. Yester-
day morning at 6 o'clock John
Wolfe, farmer living three
miles from Bruceville, thriving village
eight miles east of this city while feeding
his cattle, discovered the dead body of
Munkmire lying near haystack with his
face and head horribly mangled by hogs.
He Immediately conveyed the body to his
residence and summoned Coroner Merchant
of this city, who will hold an inquest to-
morrow.
The suspicion of foul play predominates
in the vicinity of Bruceville, and great ex-
element prevails. The neighborhood was
thickly populated, and the weather moder-
ate, so that he could not have frozen to
death, and the general opinion Is that he
has been murdered. The coroner's inquest
will probably throw more light on the mat
