The Denver (Col.) Tribune
says:
Two old residents, among the
earliest Of our early.comers,
have prepared a paper, IN
which is given an account of
all the resources and attrac-
tions of our Territory, from a
sportsman's standard. Not on
ly are all the game animals
"recorded," hut other inIelli
gence given that renders the
report as valuable as it is in
teresting. We take great
pleasure in presenting this pa.
per to the readers of the Tri
bune.

sists of buffalo, elk, black and
white-tailed deer, mountain

have also a ,ew California and

Buffalo are sometimes found

within ten miles of this place,
but are more plenty as you
leave civilization behind in
either direction. Whitehall
deer are not plenty. They are
only occasionally killed along
the water courses and in the
low hill country some thirty TO
fifty miles to the east, and sew
enty miles from here. Black
tail deer confne themselves to
the mountainous regions, ex-
cept when severe storms pre-
vail; they then come to the
foot hills, where they may be
killed in quantities. They af-

mountain or valley, are very
numerous, and are often hunt

throughout the entire monn

are very seldom killed, except

A Wonderful Dlscoxerx.

AuA OhoCONCIJs
The astounding discoveries
made by Professor Ferrier re.
spectlng the possibilities in
the hands of scientists in re-
gard to the manipulation of the
human brain have been widely
commented on by the public
press.
The possibilities lying within
the scope Of Professor Terriers
discoveries are amazing, the
Professor, it will be remember
ed, puts animals under the in
tiuence of chloroform; the skull
is then removed and the brain
exposed; he then takes an
electric battery, and by proper
application of the positive and
negative electrodes npon var
ious parts of the brain produc-
es the most astounding effects.
The limbs of the animal are
moved for instance; the animal
is made to emit various sounds;
it is made to change the ex-
preston OF its face; and, In
fact, every variety of action is
produced. The result of these
extraordinary discoveries Is
practically to restore phrenol.
ogy to Its proper place in the
ranks of sciences. This is ad-
mitted by DR. Carpenter, the
great psychologist, who has
heretofore been so strong an
opponent of phrenology, These
facts not only settle the old
dictum-"the brain is the Or
gan Of the mind" and, vice GER
SG, that the mind acts only
through the brain-but it
shows that lhe brain is the seat
of human motion, and Of all
sensorlal and motorial capacity
We can not move any more
than we can think without the
brain. In the presence OF the
audience, the Professor was
able to tell what effects would
follow when a particular part
of the brain was touched; and,
moreover, when his assistant
caused various movements Of
the animals, the Professor
could tell what was being done
with the brain.
II is claimed that the Profes
or has discovered a way Of
stimulating the brain by cleo
tricity without removing the
skull, and that bv an exterior
manipulation he, knowing the
positions Of the various organs
has teen enabled to materially
change the characters of peo.

/ THE DEATH of Sam Todd, o well
known Californian, is announced in
the Arizona Citizen of the 18th OF
March. Governor Stafford, who fol
many years was intimately acquaint-
ed with the deceased contributes to
that paper the following obituary
notice of him:
BY the death of Judge Todd, the Ter
ritory loses one of its truest and best
citizens. Few men possessed nobler
heart or more generous disposition. His
company was sought by youth and age,
and whether rich or poor. he had smiles
and good cheer for all In his dealings
he was jus, and honorable, and so sym
pathetic and generous WIS he toward his
fellow men, that his means generally
passed from him almost rs fast as &C
9uired and although he undoubtedly
left behind considerable means, if hon
esty to men and kindly treatment of the
poor, the widow and orphan, avail any
thing in the great hereafter, he has laid
up treasures there more precious than
silver or gold. He was q native of IN

called him liar, and was immediately
knocked down by Scoville. The Speak

before it was done Carse rushed into the
fight and Scoville knocked him down,
and he was badly punished, it is said
while down. The Mayor of Trenton in

ended. The affair grew out of the OPP

An English writer, evidently not hav.

truction of life in India by wild beasts,
or else remembering that about Bei.ga
there are some GG,0OO,0OO people, aud

nre not many, writes TO the London
Times to say that tigers flee, rather
than seek, the dwellings Of men. This
is certainly natural, seeing that an ordi-
nary mnn.eating tiger wants but one
man at time, and can afford to lie and
wait by the side of any road through
which there is traffic until some lonely
and therefore, eligible person comes
along. That tigers learn to do this
there is no manner Of doubt, but yet it
is true, rs tho correspondent OF the

is due TO the carelessness Of the natives.
