Old banters tell us that where there are rabbils und quail, there you will find water. AS ® proof of this, as soon us we bad . water, the raobits aud hares commenced ranniog iu our ravine as if they belonged tv our private warren; and doves and quail would make right for the spring. The i doves would fly atand alight upon the . blankets that covered the spring, aud I had to svare them away by throwing up my . bands and shouting at them. The quails, _baturally so shy and timid, tried to reach . the water from the rear, Pitying the poor . creatures, I placed a wash-pan with about . three inches of water in it at a distance of three yards from where I was sitting, The doves made for it at once, but the quails hesitated, (the pan evidently being a new _ thing to them,) uatil one more daring than . the rest or perhaps thiretier, marched up and took a drink, Then lifting bis plumed . head,be gave that pecoliar cry of the quail which to me always sounds like “fresh water, fresh water,’’ and then all the quails in the vicinity and within heartng of that welcome note came flying, whirling, and ranning in pairs, in coveys, by the thousand, . to the spot, They did vot seem to mind . My presence, although so near, nor those who, lying under the tent cover, were looking at the curious sight, but pushed and struggled for the first water, and then . would drink more like horses than birde. The careful mother quail would lead ber numerous brood right up to the pan, fighti) ing ber way through the crowd. The little “cbicks” would flutter their downy wings until they gained a footing on the edge of the pan, but the Iron, already heated by the sun, emered their little soles, and over they’d go “kersouse’’ into the water, To keep the pan clear and give all a fair chance, I scooped these loves out by the double handfull. What a slaughter, yes, slaughter’s the word) a double-barreled shot gan would bave made in that mass meeting of quails; bat the desire to destroy died out from sheer sympathy with the poor creatures, and not one was shot at the epring during our stay at Chocol Walla. At another time I noticed a lizard trying to suck a little moisture from the wetted covering of my canteen lying at my side. I poured a little water on my hand, and then let it fall like rain drops upon the Surgical and Mechanical Dentists. . of the monster is peering up hither and thither where it had been bruised by the club of Hercules, while the tail, cut into . mince meat, yet wriggles in the agony of ; the death throe, If there be any good rea KIDD & KNOX’S BRICK BUILDING, NEVADA, . eon why thie biennial systew should be — . adopted in the present political condition ALL DENTAL OPERATIONS . of the country, let it be #tated; but at the Performed tn a Neat and Substantial present the argument appears to be against Manner and . it,—[Sac.

The manifold treasures of the library are also to be brought out of the recess where they have been hidden for years, and so arranged and enjoyed. Tbat the old order of things in this !ibrary was most deplorable is evinced by the following facts: When Dr, Stephenson entered upon bis duties, he found the valuable works of Audubon, that cost $1,200, piled up against the corner of & book-case in a dark corridor, all covered with dust. During one of his explorations also, he came upon a large box, and on questioning bis attendant, be was told that nobody knew what it contained. He had it promptly opened, when out eame a solid maee of damp, blackened and rotten paper, whieh bad once been a veries of valuable historical books, all richly bound, which had been brought from the Imperial Librar in Paris by Alexander Vattemare. Indeed, the whole collection of books which were secured to our Government by the indefatigable Frenchman in the way of exchange were almost in as bad a condition as the . box alladed to, nota single case having been arranged or cared for. Thanks to Dr. . Stepbenson and bis chief assistant, Mr. UO-. Spofford, all of these evils have been remedied. And it is pleasant to know, farthermore, that, hereafter, there will be both . taste and jndgment exercised in the i chase of books for the National Library, for though the committee on the library direct the purchases to be made, they are of couree influeyced to some degree by the . i. brarian, . .

Old banters tell us that where there are

rabbils und quail, there you will find water. AS ® proof of this, as soon us we bad . water, the raobits aud hares commenced ranniog iu our ravine as if they belonged tv our private warren; and doves and quail would make right for the spring. The i doves would fly atand alight upon the . blankets that covered the spring, aud I had to svare them away by throwing up my . bands and shouting at them. The quails, _baturally so shy and timid, tried to reach . the water from the rear, Pitying the poor . creatures, I placed a wash-pan with about . three inches of water in it at a distance of three yards from where I was sitting, The doves made for it at once, but the quails hesitated, (the pan evidently being a new _ thing to them,) uatil one more daring than . the rest or perhaps thiretier, marched up and took a drink, Then lifting bis plumed . head,be gave that pecoliar cry of the quail which to me always sounds like “fresh water, fresh water,’’ and then all the quails in the vicinity and within heartng of that welcome note came flying, whirling, and ranning in pairs, in coveys, by the thousand, . to the spot, They did vot seem to mind . My presence, although so near, nor those who, lying under the tent cover, were looking at the curious sight, but pushed and struggled for the first water, and then . would drink more like horses than birde. The careful mother quail would lead ber numerous brood right up to the pan, fighti) ing ber way through the crowd. The little “cbicks” would flutter their downy wings until they gained a footing on the edge of the pan, but the Iron, already heated by the sun, emered their little soles, and over they’d go “kersouse’’ into the water, To keep the pan clear and give all a fair chance, I scooped these loves out by the double handfull. What a slaughter, yes, slaughter’s the word) a double-barreled shot gan would bave made in that mass meeting of quails; bat the desire to destroy died out from sheer sympathy with the poor creatures, and not one was shot at the epring during our stay at Chocol Walla. At another time I noticed a lizard trying to suck a little moisture from the wetted covering of my canteen lying at my side. I poured a little water on my hand, and then let it fall like rain drops upon the Surgical and Mechanical Dentists. . of the monster is peering up hither and thither where it had been bruised by the club of Hercules, while the tail, cut into . mince meat, yet wriggles in the agony of ; the death throe, If there be any good rea KIDD & KNOX’S BRICK BUILDING, NEVADA, . eon why thie biennial systew should be — . adopted in the present political condition ALL DENTAL OPERATIONS . of the country, let it be #tated; but at the Performed tn a Neat and Substantial present the argument appears to be against Manner and . it,—[Sac.

The manifold treasures of the library are also to be brought out of the recess where they have been hidden for years, and so arranged and enjoyed. Tbat the old order of things in this !ibrary was most deplorable is evinced by the following facts: When Dr, Stephenson entered upon bis duties, he found the valuable works of Audubon, that cost $1,200, piled up against the corner of & book-case in a dark corridor, all covered with dust. During one of his explorations also, he came upon a large box, and on questioning bis attendant, be was told that nobody knew what it contained. He had it promptly opened, when out eame a solid maee of damp, blackened and rotten paper, whieh bad once been a veries of valuable historical books, all richly bound, which had been brought from the Imperial Librar in Paris by Alexander Vattemare. Indeed, the whole collection of books which were secured to our Government by the indefatigable Frenchman in the way of exchange were almost in as bad a condition as the . box alladed to, nota single case having been arranged or cared for. Thanks to Dr. . Stepbenson and bis chief assistant, Mr. UO-. Spofford, all of these evils have been remedied. And it is pleasant to know, farthermore, that, hereafter, there will be both . taste and jndgment exercised in the i chase of books for the National Library, for though the committee on the library direct the purchases to be made, they are of couree influeyced to some degree by the . i. brarian, . .
