For the last few months there
have been constant inquiries from
many parties wishing to buy pianos
and organa. People naturally wish
to see the Instruments before they
buy. For this reason our Mr..
Glrard is now In Los Angeles with
q very large stock Of pianos which
he exhibits at the Pavilion during
the Fair. We are manufacturing
our own upright pianos, which we
warrant to stand the extreme heat
Of Southern California. These pi-
amos took the gold medal at the State
Fair, and we can sell them at least
$3.50 lower than you can buy OF
agents who have to make q profit.
BY paying $40 down and $40 per
month you can get piano. those
who cannot visit the Fair can write
to Mr.. f. r. Girard, Los Angeles,
for ten days only. The reputation
OF our house, we trust, Ia a suffi.
cient guarantee for honorable deal

Base Ball Tournament,

Yesterday the second game OF the
Base Ball Tournament was played
at Agricultural Park, the contest
being between tho AGNES, of this
city, and the San Diego Club. The
Los Angeles Club, from some unac.
'countable cause, played miserably
and were numerically beaten. We
trust, however, that in the con-
Guiding game they will retrieve
their losses and, Ia the end, come
out winners. Below is the score:

HONEY ANTS.

That ants are fond of honey has
long been known, they will come a
great distance to feed on a shower of
honey-dew; but amid the ant world
there is probably nothing more strange
or wonderful than that ants should
store up the honey on which they in
tend to feed in the very bodies of
some of their own comrades and yet
such is the case. The Rev. II. G. Nc
Cook has lately investigated the
habits Of the American honey ant
(Myrmecocystus Meuicanus). They
were found by him in the so-called
Garden of the Gods, Colorado. The
nests are found on the tops or south
ern slopes Of ridges. In external
aspect they r small gr~avel-covered
moundlets, truncated cones, pierced in
the centre by a perpendicular opening
which is from three to six inches deep.
The interior Of one of these consists Of
a series Of underground galleries and
chambers cut through the gravel and
sandstone often to a distance of SIT.
in length, Eft. to Aft. beneath the sur
face, and from 10in. to lin. in width
at the widest part. The ants were of
the, three worker castes-major, minor
and dwarf-the honey bearers and the
fertile queen. The honey bearers
were found hanging in groups to the
roofs Of the honey chambers by their
feet. There were about 80 of these
honey-bearers in each chamber and
some eight or ten Of these to each nest.
When filed with honey, the large,
globular abdomens Of the honey-bear-
ers looked like small Delaware grapes.
When these chambers were broken
into, the workers at once rushed to
the care of the honey ants and drag
ged these off to some of the undisturb-
ed parts. These ants proved to be
nocturnal in their habits, remaining
within doors until after sunset, which
was at the time of Mr.. McCook's visit
about 7.30 pm. Then the workers
would issue forth In columns and O
dispense themselves among the clumps
of scrub oak. Here they sought for
the gals made by a species Of Cynips
which are to be found in abundance
on the bushes, and they licked there
from a swedish emulation which is
sued out in small transparent drops
from the surface. From 11.3O pm. to
$50 am, when the first early streaks
Of dawn began to appear, the workers
returned home laden with the honey.
This appears to be given to the honey
ants, which are sedentary. The work
ers disgorging it after the manner Of a
bee, it there remains in the globular
abdomen of these horey-carriers until
it is required for future use. The
economy Of this habit, indeed, in most
respects resembles that of the hive
bee. The bees honey is, however,
when collected, disgorged into the
substance 81 a wax cell, that Of the
ants into the enlarged stomach of their
fellow ants, which are thus made to
act as living amphora. Full details
OF this most interesting ant are pro-

The Educational bill, as passed by the
Senate last week, will probably pass the
House before the close Of the session.
As it passed the Senate, the bill sets
apart forever the net proceeds of the
sales of public lands and patents for the
education of the people. The Secretary
ofthe Treasury is to apportion out year.
ly to states and territories the proceeds
of the previous year, upon the basis of
the population between five and twenty.
This money is to be credited to the state
on the Treasury books as an educational
fund, on which per cent interest is to
be paid to the states. The first ten years
the apportionment is to be made accord
ing to that proportion of the population
over ten years of age, unable to read and
write. A portion of the increase is to
be applied to colleges established under
the Agricultural College act of 1862, and
another portion may be applied to
schools for the instruction of teachers. &

seCor Robeson is now the acknowledge.

Gle is not edifying, especially when it is
remembered that even Grant has found
it expedient to cast Robeson of, as being
to heavy load to carry. But as the old
rings are coming to the front, and get
ting in position to assume control of the
new administration, it is eminently fit
that Robeson and lis confederates take
charge Of the party and define it's policy.
Robeson joined the Blaine brigade be.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times says of McCook's bill to
put Grant on the retired list with the
rank of General
McCook, it appears, ia not friend of
Conkling's. In some way he crossed
this great mans path, so that when the
Republican convention in MCCook's dis.
triCt met this year, Lord Roscoe wet his
finger and placidly proposed to wipe out
Mr.. McCook, and put in political serf
of his own; but Mr.. McCook refused to
be wiped out, and succeeded in defeating
Conkllng's man. Mr.. McCoOk heard
before he came to Congress that Conk-
ling had plan to put Grant on the ac-
tive list with the title of Captain, Gen.
eral OF course this would give him
command of the army. McCook to de.
feat this project and sggravate Conkling,
introduced this bill to put Grant on the
retired list. This is something Grant
does not want, but of course he would
take il If he could get nothing better.

cock utterly ignores politics, and in an
hour and half conversation did not re-
fer to the recent campaign.
Mr., Tilden, the General saw first on
horseback, and was struck, he says, with
his robust appearance. Subsequently,
in visit of considerable length, the
General found him in excellent health
and looking fully ten years younger. To
his observation to that effect, Mr., Tilden
said. "You must remember l have had
five months of perfect rest"
Gen. ST. edmau then said he thought
there were indications that Mr.. Tilden,
in four years, if his health permitted,
would be called to lead the Democratic
party. "Too late; too late" Mr., Tilden
replied quickly, mo, l have retired
from politics and from business forever,

to prolong my life, and to my personal
comfort. Nor do say this as Horatio
Seymour said in 1868, but this is my full

THERE is talk of coalition among Dem
ocrats, GreenbaCkers and others in the
Pennsylvania Legislature, with a view
to defeat Cameron's candidate for United
States Senator. Old Simon Cameron was
first elected to the Senate by a coalition,
defeating John W. Forney, the regular
Democratic nominee, when the Demo-
crat, had majority of one or two in the
Legislator, in 1857. The Cameron ring
should be broken if it were possible, but
the Republican larty seems to be in the
clutches of such men, and they hold a
death grip. The John Sherman ring in
Ohio have driven Charles Foster off the
track. These ring men, like Sherman
and Cameron, are in with the monopo-
lies and the schemers, and hence their
strength in the party.

The late census of Connecticut demon
strates the rotten borough system of that
state. For example, the Hartford and
New Haven Senatorial districts, one
with population of 81 371, the other
with population of Gill, have only
one Senator each, whils the twentieth
district, made up OF six towns with a
population Of 10000 has a Senator. The
town of Union, with a population of 627,
has two Representatives, while the cities
of the state have only two each.
