longevity, as We ordinaril, meet with 4, there
are physical signs that, full, inspected and

to tally with the results. The thoroughbred

AeuRiots FACT. A writer in Nature
amember of the Royal Academy of Surgeons
mentions that of seventy well authenticated
skeletons he examined, the lower limbs were
equal in length in only seven instances. the
right limb being longer in twenty-five and
the left limb in thirty-eight cases. 1t is
claimed that this will have the effect, where
persons walk without knowing the direction
ON their surroundings, to make their steps
longer with one limb than the other and

LEGAL OPINION.

Eureka, New, December 10. 1885.
To the Board Of County Commission ers Of
White Pine County. Neyada--G Gentlemen: You
viz:
Do the bonds of White Pine county. known
as the Ten (1O per cent. Funding Bonds,
issued under and by virtue of an Act of the
Legislature OF the State of Nevada, entitled
IAN Act to cons olidate and fund the indebted
ness of White Pine County" approved March
z, 1873. draw interest after the maturity of such
bonds, and after the coupons representing the
interest thereon have all been detached and
paid;
We answer the above question in the mega
tive.
The Act OF the Legislature. un der which the
bonds In question were issued, provides that
such bends shall become due and payable on
or before the first day Of January, A. d. 1888.
The Act also provides that a coupon for the
interest due for each year shall be annexed to
the bond, and that such coupons shall be num-
bered and shall express the a mount of In terest
due at the respective perio DIS named in the
Act.
These IT espective periods are the first day
of January of each year, until the maturity OF
the bonds. The Act of the Legislature. au-
lhori zing the issuance Of these bonds. is and
became a part of the contract between White
Pine county and the ~bondholders, and each
purchaser of these bonds was bound to know
The authority OF the Board of County Commits
sieners in connection with their issuance. and
such purchaser is conclusively presumed to
have full knowledge of the terms of such con
tract. whether such terms he found upon the
face OF the bond or Ii the enabling Act of the
Legislature.
If right exists in the bondholder TO de
mand interest after the expiration of the time
during which, by the provi sions of the Act
such bonds are expressly mad interest bear
ing, such right must be Enthusiastically guaran-
teed by the provisions of the Act under which
they were issued.
In conclusion, therefore, we say that no pro-
vision was made in the Act In question for the
pay ment OF interest after January /, 1883. a
which time the principal of such bonds be-
came due, and no interest accrued sub eequent
70 tina. time, and il follows hat upon January
/, 1888. such bonds ceased to be interest bear

Editor News: Having returned from
the far famed Duck Creek country, I
will give you u lop-sided sketch of
my trip. There are ducks by the
thousands on the Creek; ducks with
feathers on that quack, and ducks
without feathers. at several places; but
woe be to the mar that catches one of
the last named. Before he gets tired
he will think he has caught a double
backboned hyena with rings on its tail,
and when he finally lets go, by mutual
consent, he will imagine he has been
travelling with an earthquake 1t the
rate of seventy miles a minute for at
least two hours. The little ducks are
sweet as railroad gooseberry pie.
Attirrcd in their milkhouse costume
they are as lovely to behold as a niger
on his head in = mud hole; they smile
like a hungry man with a mouth full
of choke cherries, and are as entertain
ing as a South Sea Islander. 1t Is
worth half the life of a hospital patient
to travel through that section. They
appear to live in hope of seeing no
one. While on this trip, | had the
pleasure of enjoying the company of a
little darling for two long hours; she
