Hon. WIN. NJ. EvARTs was not extrava-

tenary of the organization of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that the cele-

the Declaration of Independence. 1t COM
memorates an act of wisdom on the part of
the founders of the Republic, without
which the liberties of the country would
not have sustained the attrition of time.
To create \ system of free government was
but TO erect the framework of great po-
litical structure for the conservation of
human rights; providing tribunal of last
resort for the Interpretation of the consti-

States, and for the adjudication of issues
arising between the citizens of different
States, was clothing the new Government
and infusing into it vital current. The
creation and erection OF this great Court
was the placing OF the keystone in the ma

heroes and statesmen. That the completion

by his recent DEGREES in their interest can
have but temporary effect. Indeed who

the inquiry "who gave the Emperor the

Stitched With Ants, laws.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful Jaws considering the size Of
their bodies, and therefore their method Of
fighting is by biting.
They will bite one another and hold on
with wonderful grip of the jaws, even
after all their legs have been bitten off by
other ants Sometimes six or eight ants
will be clinging with death grip to one
another, making peculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone and some with half of the
body gone.
One singular fact is that the grip of an
ants Jaw is retained, even after the body
has been bitten off and nothing but the
lead remains. This knowledge is pos
sessed by a certain tribe of Indians in Bra
I'll, South America, who put the ant to a
very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets cash cut in his
hand, instead of having the flesh sewed
together as the physicians do in this coun-
try, he procures FIVE or six large black
ants, and holding their heads near the
cash they bring their jaws together in
biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together.
Then the Indian pinches off the body OF
the ants and leaves their heads clinging to
the flesh, which Is held together until the
cash is perfectly healed.

EDWARD EVERETT HALE continues viz
orously to advocate his ideas of Perma-
nent Tribunal for the Nations of the three
Americas. He well says that we do not
want from the Pan-American Congress
mere resolutions saying that, in the future,
quarrels between the countries shall be
submitted to arbitration. After countries
have quarrelled it is too late either to
select arbitrator or to set them to work
We want Court just as permanent as the
Supreme Court of the United States.
We have already explained what the
composition of this Court should be, and
have expressed approval of Mr.. Hale's
suggestion. Simply, it is to have each Of
the Nations appoint one or even two of its
foremost jurists to constitute the Perma-
nent Tribunal. 1t should sit alternately
at the Capitols of the several powers, and
should have jurisdiction over all questions
arising between States in which diplomats
are unable to come to satisfactory agree
ment. 1t would have Jurisdiction also
over cases of injury to citizens of one ma
ton residing within another which in
volve the States under the present sys-
TEN. 1t would be, SO to speak, the war
preventing Court, and would really con-
stitute permanent Board of Arbitration.
A place upon it would be deemed the
highest honor nation could confer, and
its decisions would go to make up an
American code of international law that
would be the supremest accomplishment
of human wisdom. The more the idea is
thought upon, the stronger do its virtues

BRAZIL makes mistake in its naturali-
cation schemes. 1t has decreed that all
who do not afirmatively declare that they
do not wish to be esteemed citizens will,
after the lapse of so many days, be deemed
citizens and subjected to duties as SUCH
Brazil cannot maintain that system. Other
powers will not consent to their citizens
or subjects being stripped of their citizen
skip or allegiance without their express
consent. A man may of his own free will
lay aside his citizenship end swear allie
glance TO another government, and this
right all nations now concede. But to
make man citizen by "consenting
silence" is not practicable, nor should
Brazil desire citizens of such an order
Two Frenchmen, one newspaper man,
had quarrel in Paris recently, and one
applied to the other an insulting epithet
Instead of the offender being pummeled
for his foul tongue, after the manner of
sensible Americans, the offended man chal-
lenged the other, and they went out on
Sunday to shoot at each other under the
code that determines the truth or falsity
of slanderous charge by the accuracy of
aim of the contestants, or the chance of a
bullet hitting vital part of the body.
One of these men was shot in the arm, the
other escaned Uninjured. Thereupon the
sensational press gives to what it supposes
is an expectant world two columns OF
report of the fight of these fools. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose that at this late
day the reading public admires exhibitions
of this character. The duelist is to-day
looked upon as the relic of an age in which
reason was subordinated to a false sense of
manliness. The two Frenchmen who
fought on Sunday by no means have rank
with the bruisers of the prize ring, for with
the latter there is something of skill in
volved in the use of the weapons nature
furnishes man for his defense, while the
former contend by artificial means.

1--WE Just received letter from one Of
our men up at Truckee who is superintend-
ing the ice harvest" said a gentleman in
terested in that industry to a reporter.
''You know" he continued, they have
been having a pretty hard time of it, on
account of the severity of the winter"
well, what are the prospects," was
asked.
Zine, sir, fine. Contrary to general ex-
pectations, too, the cropis Of good quality.
1t runs from II to 16 inches in thickness, on
an average, right along. Tho Mountain
Ice Company, he writes, has finished its
work and has put up 5000 tons. The Peo-
Piles Company is also finished up and has
6 600 tons of new ice. Both of these cons-
papies had considerable old ice on hand.
The Floriston and Rocky Run Companies
are now at work and will be able to gather
in about 6 eco tons. The Sierra Lakes
Company, at Boca, is working large force
of men, and expects to put mp between TO-
Geo aud 5000 tons. At the Tahoe Com
panv's works q desperate battle was fought
with the elements, and several times it wss
thought that the crop would have to be
abandoned. Il is now thought, however,
! that most OF the ice will be saved, and they
will put up about Is COO tons. No ice
! could be secured from Prosser creek this
/ winter on account of the storms. The
! total zee crop this winter will probably
amount 10 40 000 tons

HURON AND SUICIDE.

The people of the Black Hills are
practically a unit in favor OF Pierre
for the permanent capital. Thereason
for this does not exist in the love
which this section feels for Pierre
above other cities Of the state, but be-
cause Pierre has the most suitable
location OF any other city for that pur-
pose. Some have argued that it would
be a saving of mileage If the capital
was located at Huron; that it would
have cost the state less to sendit rep
resentatives to make the laws. Such
an argument IS in the line of Huron's
weak reasoning. No matter where the
capital is located the mileage will be
about the same 1t some representa-
tiyes have to go greater distance by
reason of the location OF the capital III

The mileage paid. by the state will be
the same every year. The Republican
does not insist on such tlimsy process
ses of augmentation.
But consider the claim OF Huron
heretofore, which, IN opposition te
Pierre, effectually slandered and de
