Garnets and Other Precious Stones llronglit to the Surface by Ants. "There is the original garnet mine, and die miner as well, ” said my companion, of is we New were riding among the mountains Mexico. Following the direction of his glance I saw a tall, well formed Navajo Indian standing motionless by what appeared to be a small sand heap. Wishing to inves¬ tigate we drew nearer and found that die statesque native was watching oho S, the many ant hills that dot the country through New Mexico and Arizona as well. As wo approached he hardly looked jp, appearing indifferent after the fash¬ ion of his race, and his object was still m enigma, at least to me. The Navajo tribe had never produced a naturalist, Slid it was hardly possible that lio had been studying the habits of the actiye in¬ sects. Perhaps be was trying to collect ?nough for dinner—Indians have been known to eat rats. But the Indian was, after all, a close observer, and was reaping his reward, ’or when I asked him what he was doing ae held out a small bag, the contents of which I turned upon my hand—garnets, small but good, in great numbers, bits of juaytz that gleamed like diamonds, hero t bit of turquoise, large quantities of oli¬ vine, and a single gem, an emerald, of but little value, but an emerald after all. An ant hill was a curious place from which to take such a strange assortment, but, as my friend had suggested, this was tho original mine, and the real miners were the ants. In piling up their dome like houses they brought out the minute gems one by one and placed them among the bits of sand, where they gleamed and flashed as if inviting col¬ lection. The Indians had discovered their value, and in this way did their mining, allow¬ ing the ants to do all the work and tak¬ ing the gems as fast as they were brought up. The stones found in this way range in size from the head of a pin to a largG pea. and, besides the ones mentioned, rubies have been taken from the heaps. These stolen gems are sold in lots and used in various kinds of jewelry. Nearly every ant hill is examined in this way and the mound gone over, often the ants being watched and the gems taken from them as soon as brought up. Whether the little insects have a liking for glistening objects it is difficult to de¬ termine, but, from the fact that so many gems are brought to the surface, there would seem to bo reason to suppose they had. It would be extremely difficult to name an industry followed by man that did not have its prototype in the lower animal kingdom. Our humble friends have their trades, their seeming arts and sciences, just as we have. Ilenco, we need not be surprised if we find miners whose work compares favorably with that of human beings. In an ant family that I have been watching for some time, well up in tho Sierra Madre mountains, southern Cali¬ fornia, the work is carried on in a very methodical manner, the workers appar¬ ently being protected by soldier ants, with huge heads and powerful jaws. For some time I watched these miners at work, noticing the regularity with which each ant seemed to deposit its load in tho same spot, and finally 1 allowed the sun to pass through my hand glass and form a bright spot at tho entrance of the mine. A worker soon passed under it, and, feeling the fierce heat, evidently rushed below with tho news, for almost immediately out fame a horde of big jawed fighters, who darted about, biting at tho sun spot, and show¬ ing by their actions that they had deter¬ mined to attack the foe, whatever it was, and when I placed my magnifying glass upon the ground they rushed at it in great fury, fastening their jaws upon tho silver case and refusing to bo torn away —oven parting with their heads, that re¬ mained for a long time clinging to tlio glass.—Golden Days. ft. u m Cures Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Croup, Cough, Asthma,Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption Whoop- j ing consumptive in j and relieves disease.!* persona j advanced stages c! the or sale by all Druggists.

Carlisle, who is the city at tending the bedside of his sick son, said today • “The Mills Tariff Bill is a very conservative measure and ought to be passed. The financial and industrial situation would have justified a much more radical meas ure, but there are always so many dif Terences of opinion about details that it is impossible to do exactly what ought to be done. This bill has been prepared with great care and I know that it has been the pur pose of its framers to deal fairly and liberally with any interest affected by it. There has been no feeling of hostility to the capital or labor t m plover in manufacturing industries, and the bill, if passed, will not hurt them Wool, flax, hemp, jute, dv* stnfls and many other raw materials are placed upon the free list, and this will largely reduce the the cost of production, without reducing the wages of labor. Tho consumer will thus he enabled to get cheaper goods, while the manufacturer will realize ample profit and the laborer, will coni!nue to receive the same or higher wages. I think tho bill will pass substantially as reported. If it be defeated tbe Democratic par ty will appeal to the people on this question at the next election and r a Congress will be chosen that will reduce tbe revenue much more than is now proposed..'* MILNER MATTERS. A Town That Docs Not Propose to Get Left by the Procession. Milner, Ga., March 6.—I see a notice in your valuable paper from our adjoining towns, and will try in a brief way to give a sketch of our town and country. We have ten business houseses here, five of which sell largely on time. We also have one of the best schools in this section, Prof Beck, of Jackson, principal and Misses Mattie Tyus and Mildred Steed assistants. Mrs. Laura Hunt has charge of the music department. Also have two good,*trong churches, Methodist and Baptist; two black smith and repair shops, one furniture store, one good livery stable and will have another in the near future. We have only one lawyer, Col. S. .J. Hale; three practicing physicians. You need not judge from the number of doctors that our town is unhealthy, for we have good freestone water, and everybody is in good health, Tbe sun is shining beautifully this morning and tbe (own is full of w» gons hauling out guano.

About the Georgia Midland k Railroad* The fotiowing suggestive articles appeared in yesterday‘s Columbus Enquirer Son; GOOD I'OK A 6 TAUTER• •Since the drop of the Georgia Midland—the $2.90 drop from Atlanta to Colnmbua—the camion ball train has begun to shoot pas, sengers to Columbus at the same rate. The distance from Atlanta to Columbus via the Georgia Midland is 120 miles, and 138 via the Atlanta and West Point. Local stations *n the Georgia Midland aro very few and far between, and Atlanta is the only competing point. It is very kind of th* railroad to cut under the commission in this way. The people like it nnd the commission will catch np.—[Constitution. The above shows the Midland is getting fairly well advertised. Just as a matter of education to tbe writ erof the article, we would suggest, however, that probably no road of its length in tho south has more stations or post offices than the Midland. Tho railroad is only ninety eighty miles long and has eighteen post offices along its hoe, besides which there are two regular stop ping places; or stations. For u year old road, a post office to every five miles is a good ‘.‘starter.* 1 i FAR REACHING IN ITS EFFECTS. Probably no portion of or r popula tion are as quick to “catch on” as the commercial travele”. They watch anything touching their own or the public’s interest very closely. Said one of them l ist night to an Enquir er-Sun reporter; “This late reduction by the Geor gia Midland has saved our fraternity a good square sum.” “You mean in rates between heie and Atlanta?” “Ob, no! Moro than that. The Atlanta and West Point railroad met the rate, you know, aud put in a $2, 90 rate to Columbus. That, of Course, means to Opelika, too. So that again means to Montgomery, Selma, New Orleans, Texas and scores of points south and west of Atlanta. Yes, sir; ail a passenger has to do now is to get his ticket t® Opelika and buy bis ticket there if he gees beyond. Railroads know this, so through tickets are made up with the reductson. It is a saving of about forty-five cents to Opelika and south of Atlanta to me. I feel like pattingtbe Midland on the back.” So it seems somebody is making money by this move, even if the rail roads do not. * * * Delicate diseases cl eiterh sex radically cured.

CLARK & SON (onsln Dixie Explajns to I’onsl* Vin¬ cent, Haralson, Ga., March 6.— In my communication of Feb. 11th I aaid “Senoia aught to he denominated the jug town,” io. It seems that Cousin Vincent, of the Herald and Ad vcrliser, is offended. Now, Cousin Vincent, there was no offence intend ed. Far be it from me to attempt to pull down my own town, much less cast a “s-l-u-r” at it. A fellow I considered a gentleman told me about the daily jug business, and his breath smelt that way while ha was telling it to me. As fop personal knowledge, 1 have none. Tbe last drink of intoxicants that I ever took in Senn : s was at John Perkins’ front door ol lu# bar, Jan. 12th. 1880, one glass of stale lager beer. Said fellow* my informant, lives inside of Senoia and the way he talked, was well ac quainted with occurrences in the town. I have also been accused of “slurring” Senoia “when I knew bet ter,” 1 would say to said accuser that I have more kin-people in Se noia than he, and l respect and love thorn too well to “slur” them or their town. 1 would simply ask my good friend (for ho is my friend indeed) Cousin Vincent, do you examine every goods box marked freight that leaves Senoia depot for Grffin? I again repeat, my friend Cousin Vin cent, that 1 am truly sorry it 1 have offended you or other staunch friends I herein make every apology ry, and long to see tho day when every prohibition town will indeed prohibit, as by popular vote you have decreed it. By the law in your grasp enlorce it. Will the Herald and Ad vertiser, Ncwnan, Ga., please copy the above and thereby confer a favor upon Cousin Dixie, (Of the VVrei.t News instead of Weekly Sun.) Monroe Superior Court. MoDroe superior court has been in session since Monday last, Judge Boyuton presiding. The docket will be taken np today. There are three murder cases to be dispos ed of—two whito men tob® tried and one uegio, John Simmons, to be re sentenced. John was convicted, abont a year ago, of killing a “broth er in black.” His case was carried to tbe supreme court, and the decis ion cf the superior court affirmed. J ck Goiis is charged with killing his msirion thcpablic highway,and Rb Jy Godard with riding up to a negro's house, calling him out, and shooiing him in a short time after. The latter is a rather peculiar case in some respects. Godard seems to have a decided aversion to sleeping be ; bifid prison bars, but appeared to be willing to Furiender himself and be tried itt once.
