It was first discovered In sand pun. ped out of well. about $20 woI tn being s,rapt'd fir om cubic yard of earth. That the erou nd is rich, there is no mistake, but the area of the deposit is matter of conjecture.
 There is great excitement in Colorado mining towns over al. eged important gold discoveries near Pike's Peak, 75 miles south of Denver. Crowds of people are flocHng to the new camp, and passenger and trelgh: ton lines from Canon City. Fair pity and Laadville are already established.

He decided not to accept it, however, and suggested that it would be good stroke of policy to ; ke Lincoln into the Cabinet as Secretary 1f War.

Herbert Spencer on the Source OF
Rights.

Primitive peoples of various types
show US that before governments exist,
immemorial customs recognize private
claims, and justify maintenance of
them. Codes of law independently
evolved by different nations agree in
forbidding certain trespasses on the
persons, properties, and Liberties of
citizens; and their correspondence i'm
ply, not an artificial source of individ-
ual rights, but a natural source. Along
with social development, the formulat-
ing in law of the rights pre-established
by custom becomes more definite and
elaborate. At the same time, govern
ment undertakes to an increasing ex-
tent the business of enforcing them.
While it has been becoming a better
protector, government has been becom-
ing less aggressive-has more and more
diminished its intrusions on mems
spheres of private action. And, lastly,
as in past times laws were avowedly
modified to fit better with current ideas
of equity, SO now law reformers are
guided by ideas of equity which are not
derived from law, but to which law has
to conform.
Here, then, we have q politico-ethi-
cal theory justified alike by analysis
and BY history. What have we against
it? A fashionable counter-theory which
proves to he un ustiiable. On the one
hand, while we find that individual life
and social life both imply maintenance
of the natural relation between efforts
and benefits, we also find that this
natural relation, recognized before gov
eminent ex sted, has been all along as
serting and reasserting itself, and OBJ
tanning better recognition in codes of
law aud systems of ethics. On the
other hand those who. denying natural
rights, commit themselves TO the as
sertion that rights are artificially Great
ed by law, are not only fatty contra
dicted by facts. but their assertion is
self-destructive the endeavor to sub
slant ate it. when challenged, involves
them in manifold absurdities. --PoptL-
lar Science Monthly.

Two Knowing Dogs.

At convent in France twenty poor
people were served with dinner at
given hour every day. A dog belong
ing TO the convent was always present
at this meal, watching for any scraps
that might be thrown to m. The
guests being very hungry themselves,
and not very charitable, the poor dog
did little more than smell the food.
Each pauper rang bell, and his share
was delivered to him through small
opening, so that neither giver nor re-
ceiver could see each other. One day
the dog waited till all were served,
when he took the rope in bis mouth
and rang the bell. The trick sue
ceeded, and was REL Gated the next day,
with the same success. At length the
cook, finding that twenty-one portions
wore doled out instead of twenty, de-
termined to find out the thief, and at
last the clever dog was detected But
when the monks heard the story, they
rewarded the dogs ingenuity by allow
ing him to ring the bell every dav, and
q mess of broken ctuals was thence
forth regularly served out to him in his
turn.
A dog had been worried by another
of greater strength, and, when he re-
turned to his home, it was observed
that he abst lined from half the pro-
portion of his allotted food, and formed
a sort of store from his savings. After
some days he went out, and brought
several dogs of the vicinity back aud
feastei them upon his hoard. This
singular proceeding attracted the ut
teution OF his ma ter, who, watching
the result, observed that they all went
together. Following them. lie found
they proceeded, by several streets, 30
the outskirts of the town, where the
leader singled out large dog. which
wa immed ately assau tod 10y all his
guests. and very severly punished.

EThe City of the Sum-

The ruins of Heliopolis, "The City
of the Sum-" which adjoin the present
village of Metarijeh, is about five miles
distant from Cairo. Thus famous place
is identified as the On of the Bible,
where Joseph took the daughter of the
priest Potpherah to wife The site of
the once important city is appropriately
marked now by the oldest obelisk that
has yet been discovered, with the ex-
ception of small one in the necropo-
lis of Memphis. The companion to
this existing obelisk for obelisks are
always erected in pairs) passed away
over twelve hundred years ago. The
two were erected four or five thousand
years ago. The remaining one is shaft
sixty-six feet high, of red granite, COW
cred with hyerog lyphics. The metal
on the pyramidium on the top has
passed away, and the successive mum
dations of the Nile have piled good
many feet of mud about the monument

staff of priests, menials, custodians, and

Pharaohs were especially proud of their
title as Lords of Heliopolis."
Nearer the modern village are the
tree and we'll of the Virgin. The Vir-
gins tree is a decayed sycamore, plant
ed in 1872, allegedly on the site of a
previous tree, in the hollow trunk of
which Mary had concealed herself and
the Divine Child. Not satisfied with
we'll enough, the people in the vicinity
spoil the whole tradition by also aver
ing that a spider spun his web across
the opening so as TO effectually screen
the fugitives. l did not learn whether
the spider and his web are still pre-
served here or not.
The present tree was presented to the
Empress Eugene by the Khedive at
the Inauguration of the Suez Canal.

thority, that the balsam shrub, the
balm of which the Queen of Sheba
presented to King. Solomon, once

Insomnia.

The immortal Sancho PanZa says:
while / am asleep ! have neither fear
nor hope; neither trouble nor glory;
and blessings on him who invented
sleep-the mantle that covers all hui
man thoughts; the food that appeases
hunger; the drink that quenches thirst;
the fire that warns; the cold that mod
crates heat; and, lastly, the general
coin that purchases all things; the bal
ance and weight that makes the shep-'
herd equal to the king and the simple
to the WISE" Cervantes. like all great
brain-workers, evidently understo Il
the value, the comforts, the delights of
sleep, which are not fully appreciated
by any one until he suffers the pangs
of wakefulness. One of the most o
quiste forms of torture devised by the
tyrants of Europe and of modern China
was to inflict death by prev. nting sleep.
A case is somewhere recorded OF Chi
nese criminal who suffered for nineteen,
days before he succumbed. Food,
drink, and raiment are more easily dir
pensed with for considerable period
than is rest for the brain. Insomnia,
or inability to sleep, is common
enough symptom of many nervous and
mental diseases, and deprivation of
sleep, If kept up long enough, invaria-
bly, results in the loss of reason. The
poet Southey laid the foundation of
that mental malady which clouded his
later years by watching at night at the
bedside of his sick wife after the con-
tinuous mental labors of the day. Many

taxation of the brain.
WakeSulness is generally owing to
something that irritatcs tie bran
through the feelings. Prolonged or
excessive intellectual effort. so long as
the emotions are not stirred up, does
not natural y produce loss of sleep, but
rather predisposes to slumber. When
the emotions, especially those of de-
pressing character, are aroused, the
brain is kept in state OF irritation,
and sleep will not come, NO matter how
earnestly it may be sought. In fact,
anxiety to sleep, like any other form of
anxiety, hinders the obtaining OF it.
Worry is, therefore, worse than work,
and wears out the instrument of the
mind more rapidly than anything else.
The hard-worked soldier or sailor may
sleep soundly in spite of noises or con-
fusion, the roar of cannon or tempest
nous winds, while the officer may re-
main sleepless when the night is peace
full and everything would seem to favor
rest of miad and body. Care and wor-
ry over duty unperformed or to be
done efrectually prevent the advent of
slum der. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
