Iainsws Of war.

Speaking Of the lsvyins Of recent a.
ssssmsnts, the San Francisco Poa says:
Il must be borne In mind that there can
be 70 solid and prolonged rise in prices
until good developments are made. and
that these Developments depend solely
upon the payment OF assessments.
Without the "sinews Of war" work can
not bs carried on. The Comstock has
bad q rssp,t, from assessments for two
months. Within the past few days sew.
srsl have been levied and more will fol-
low. Their effect, however. seems to
have been already discounted to . large
extent In the recent decline In prices.
There are several points In the Comstock
where good developments are liable to
DO made at any moment. and many af.
feet to believe that after the vacation.
when the surroundings are more favor
able for business. something OF value
will be shown.

The mines they located are called Ari.

The much discussed question, Who wrote
the Declaration of Independence ? has been SO
differently decided, and each claim so well
supported, that the authorship of the grand old
document is yet considered as misnomer by
many. Let us give the honor to the signers
and be content that the deed was done.
Among the many mistakes prevalent in re-
gard to the habits of animals and insects is
the notion that ants in general gather food III
harvest for Winters store. This is quite an
error; in the first place, they do not live or
grain, but chiefly on animal food and in the
next place, they are torpid in Winter and dc
not require food. Col. Sykes, however, says
there is in Poonah, grain feeding species
which stores up millet seed, but certainly oul
ants have no claim to Jane Taylor's stanza
Who taught the little ant the way
Its narrow hole to bore,
And labor ali the Summer day
To gather Winter store?
