The Grand Duke and the But
f0TOPS

The Grand Duke Alexis, in company with Gen.
Sheridan and Gen. Custer has enjoyed the pleas
ure Of buffalo hunt. Arriving at Omaha the
party started out for the plains where the buifa-
loes are accustomed to rome at this season. The
company had with them Buffalo Bill and Spot
ted Tail and large number of other Indian hun
tiers who have a thorough knowledge Of the
grounds and understand the tricks and freaks Of
these inhabitants of the plains.
When they had arrived at what they concluded
was good place they formed'their camp, nam
ing it camp Alexis, in honor Of the Duke. This
Royal camp was furnished with rare camp accou-
trements. They had wall-tents with movable
floors and carpets portable stoves and folding
beds. Almost all the appliances for luxurious
living in a western town were furnished the
Royal Scion Of the House Of Romanof while in
dulging in the sports of buffalo hunt.
On the following morning all things in readi-
ness, the party started off for the scene OF the
hunt, Gen. Sheridan giving orders that the
Grand Duke and Gen. Custer were 10 proceed in
front. Suddenly they turned a corner Of a can
yon when the sight of herd flashed upon their
vision. Buffalo Bill selected COW for the Duke,
who rode after her at full speed She fed to the
declivity of the mountains and undertook TO Sc
cure her safety in going where the Duke could
not pursue But the Duke pursued until she
was pressed 10 turn on him, when he made a
sudden turn evading her thrust, fred his piece
and killed her dead Leaving this victim OF his
Royal enthusiasm he went for her calf. After
pursuing the calf for more than mile the Duke
laid him dead at bis feet after giving him the
benefit OF two balls. The indians in the mean
time were watching the movements Of the bnlia-
loes and turning their course Of flight brought
them down on the opposite side Of the cany
under the fire Of Indian arrows leaving the
path of their fight strewn with dead buffaloes.
young Indian took the Duke over the ground
pointing out the buffaloes he had slain He also
searched in the snow-for arso~'s th.i- had done
their work, in passing through the bufaloes aud
marking their track by blood in the snow. The
Grand Duke secured number Of these, the beau
tifcl horns Of the COW he killed and number of
other trophies Of the hunt to take home to his
mother aud his fellow scious of the Russian Roy
atty. The bufaoes came TO lime as well on the
plains as elsewhere.

TOBACCO. Israel Kimball, the head of the To-
bacco Division of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment at Washington has issued paper for the
information of the ways and means committee in
the House of Representatives in which he emu
merates some important facts. 1t shows that
there are about eight million consumers of this
weed in the United States. That during the
gear they average eleven pounds and thirteen
ounces of tobacco and l67 cigars each. This
shows that there are annually manufactured 95,-
O00, 600 pounds of tobacco and 33,000,000 ci-
CARS This is the basis upon which taxes are
collected The statistics show that the tax on
tobacco has not diminished its consumption
At the present time there are 928 manufactures
of tobacco and snuff in the United States. Sew
eral committees from different parts of the coun-
Try have been before The ways and means COM
mittee in the interest Of tobacco growers and to-
bacco merchants and exporters. They are desir-
Gus of information whether Congress proposes
any further taxupon that commodity or not. In
consequence Of their apprehensons upon this
many are very nutious about their investments
in this particulT.
No definite stp will likely be taken by those
engaged in the business that will entail risk un-
less Congress defines its position on this subject
shortly.

The McDOaOu0h Estate,

The case of Moses Fox vs. the cities Of Balti-
more aud New Orleans has been decided~hy the
Supreme Court of Louisiana and in favor of de-
PENDANTS. This case grew out OF II purpored
co1icil to the will of the late John McDonough
of the latter city, who, prior to his death, ex.
ecuted n will and bequeahed all his property
amounting to several mii!ipns--to these two
Cities the larger portion 10 the latter.
In 1850 John McDonough died in New Orleans.
Some time after his will was admitted to probate
said Moses Fox produce, d what he claimed was
a codicil to this WILL said codicil purpoFting to
will and bequeath TO the said Moses Fox, nephew
Of said McDonougb, the sum Of $500, 900 10 be
paid him eight years after the death OF said Nc
Donough Ia 1860 Fox began proceedings
against the two cities in The courts OF Louisiana.
The court below decided against the genuinencss
of the codicil, from which Fox took an appeal to
the Supreme Court. In 1866 the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision of the court below. But
about eighteen months ago Fog again commenc
ed proceedings upon the same paper for the same
purpose. His eight counsel coniena;ng hst the
former Judgment WAS not final 10 The premises,
and not bar TO the present proceeding The
court below, however, decided against the
application to renew the case From this Fox
again appealed 10 the Supreme Court. On the
10th instant the Supreme Court rendered deci-
sion in the case all the Judges concurring, in which
it decided that the case had been finally adjudca-
-.

stated that the decision u! the Supreme Court in

A WoRD IN SEASON. The new Civil Service
Reform rules have the hearty endorsement and
the earnest support of Col. Thomas Wentworth
Higginson and WIN. Lloyd Garrison. A pro-
gramme that is laid down by man of such
sterling integrity as VIM. Geo. Curtis, and
backed up by such solid worth as Messrs.
H'gginson and Garrison comes before the people
of the nation we'll recommended, and is well
worthy of their serious consideration. 1t is
true the rules and their operation may not
bring all the reform needed or all we have good
reason to expect. Yet they serve as an en-
tering wedge to things that are better.
Their rigid execution will doubtless point
out their good points and suggest new reforms
to be engrafted upon than. Mr.. Higginson
thinks they do not give all that is needed, but
says that the folks who want reform must do
something themselves to bring it about and not
expect that strict justice in the premises can
be done by those who have the work in hand
He considers the new machinery better than
the old one, "but fter all he says, "the great
hope lies in improving not the machinery but
the men," When men of wealth and educa-
ton make il matter Of conscience to attend
primary meetings, they will be well governed
and well served because they will deserve to be,
and not till then.
