AUKUM

The drear November winds have come,
the saddest of the year
The boughs are naked and fallen
leaves lay scattered everywhere,
The night winds moan in icy breath
across hilltop, slope and vale,
And moan in sad requiem marked in
melancholy tale.
The owl upon the mountain top in
clustered dark retreat
, is hooting to his mate below in
shadows at his feet,
The moon in pensive icy garb, chill
ed through by ice and snow
Steals through the freezing atmos-
phere while looking down below.
The dry cold weather is bad for
stock and farmers. 1t looks as
though it would make the sowing
late. But such is existence, one can
not have everything or hardly any
thing as one wants it.

President Roosevelt has stopped the

The Lady In the Moon.

An amateur astronomer writes of the
"lady in the moon" "It is very beau
tiful face seen in profile and uplifted,
as though in proud disdain of things
terrestrial. The curve of the throat is
exquisite, and indeed the entire outline
is marvelously lifelike. The moon
lady may best be observed through a
small opera glass when our satellite is
at half. At that time the tip of the
chin about touches the terminator-
that is, the dividing line between the
light and dark portions of the lunar
surface. Most people can recognize
the man in the moon. Well, the hair
Of the lady, in which can always fan
cy l see a spray of orange blossom,
forms the mans left eye. the nose and
mouth his nose. and the chin and
throat the mans mouth"

Flowers That Possess Eyes, Though

They May Not See.
The night hath a thousand eyes, but
a nasturtium leaf has more. Holding
up his hand in front of desert shrub.
an experimenter has taken a micro
photograph showing half dozen dis
tinct images of his fingers formed by
the eyes Of the plant. Many common
garden and wild fiowers-the nastur-
tium, begonia, clover, wood sorrel and
bluebell among others-possess eyes
situated on their leaves. They are mi
mute protuberances filed with a trans
parent gummy matter which focuses

animal do theirIwork A common mas
turtium plant has thousands of such
eyelets on its leaves. forming thou
sands of minute images of the objects
around them. But, though plant may
have eyes, it does not follow that it
sees. 1t is not yet known if the sense
impressions are telegraphed to some
central nerve exchange corresponding
to the brain of the animal. In addition
to these light sense organs many plants
possess a touch of sensitiveness and a
response to electric stimuli that show
further resemblance to the animal

weeds in an early stage Of their ex-

Correction.

Sutter Creek, CAL, Nov. 26, 1877,
Editor Ledger In reading the
Ledger of Nov. 22nd, I notice this,
that the total claims against theWild-
man mines aggregate $500. That OF
this sum only $500 could be enforc-
ed. This is very surprising. The
liens and attachments alone reach
more than s25, 900. And there are
still other suits that can be brought.
AS for stock. tie men feel that they
are deserving their pay in cash, and
it should be withIinterest; also with
greatest respect for the company.
Very respectfully,
Lienholder.
By typographical error, cipher
was dropped from the sum in each
instance in our issue last week. The
amounts should have read s75, 600 and
S25, 600.

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Difference Between Instinct and
Reasoning Power.

Most animals have little self con-
sciousness, and their reasoning powers
at best are of a low order, but in kind
at least the powers are not different
from reason in man. A horse reaches
over the fence to be company to an
other. This is instinct When it lets
down the bars with its teeth, that is
reason. When q dog finds its way
home at night by the sense of smell,
this may be instinct; when he drags a
stranger to his wounded master, that
is reason. When a jack rabbit leaps
over bush to escape dog or runs in
circle before a coyote, or when it
lies fiat in the grass as round ball of
gray, indistinguishable from grass,
this is instinct. But the same animal
y capable of reason-that is, of dis
tinct choice among lines of action. Not
long ago rabbit came bounding across
the university campus at Palo Alto.
AS it passed a corner it suddenly faced
two hunting dogs running side by side
toward it 1t had the choice of tuSn-
ing back, its first instinct, but a dam
gerous one; of leaping over the dogs
or of lying on the ground. 1t chose
none of these, and its choice was in
Simultaneous. 1t ceased leaping, ran
low and went between the dogs just
as they were in the act of seizing it,
and the surprise of the dogs as they
stopped and tried to hurry around was
the same feeling that a man would
have in like circumstances" Evolu-
ton and Animal Life.'

An Important
Mining Case.

Some time ago DR.. S. S. StahI pur-
chased mining claim near Plymouth
known as the Wheeler property, and
shortly after secured the Upton pro-
perty in the same way, through an
agent. His home is in Pennsylvania,
so he had induced a number of his
friends there to put up part of the
money to work the mine. which they
did. In all close to S40,0OO was
raised, of which his friends put
up about $4,000. They organized
two separate companies to opeI-
ate the properties. The Upton mine
was incorporated as the Amador and
Ell Dorado Gold Mining Company,
while the Wheeler was named the
West Penn Gold Mining Company.
At the time of purchase the Upton
had ten stamp mill, hoist, boarding
house, etc., in all probably worth
about $4,000. The Wheeler had some
machinery on it, but shortly after
the purchase it was completely burn
ed ont, so that now there is nothing
left but the hole in the ground.
Both claims were worked for awhile,
but when the investors found that
they we're not making money as fast
as they thought they should, twenty

defendant, while Hertsog, Mcdonald

B. Packard, and julius Fregulia ap-
peared as witnesses for the latter and
testified that there was a ledge in
both mines, but that it was only
about eight inches in thickness and
had very little or no values. Harry

the one mentioned above. MINIS,
Geo. Upton, Stewart Newcomer, N.
E. Wheeler, and others appeared for
the defendant, testifying that the
mines had three or four we'll defined
lodges, one of them in particular
being about eight feet in thickness,
and showing very good values. Ac-
cording to their testimony any money
put into the enterprise was not, OBJ
tanned by fraud. as the mine was
there and simply needed development
to be big producer. The one pecu-
liar feature about the evidence was
that father and son should testify
just the opposite of each other.
From Plymouth the lawyers and
DR.. Stahl went to Santa Cruz, and
from there will go to Randsbnrg to
take further evidence bearing on the
cases.
