The indiscriminate slaughter of

sportsnen to the necessity of at
once taking measures looking to
the preservation Of game and fish,
and accordingly, a call has been
issued for a national sportsmens
convention, to mee5 at Niagara
Falls on the 9th Of September next
In circular accompanying the cal.
attention called to the fact that ]
this unrestricted destruction has
resulted in the total determination
in this country Of some varieties OF
animals and birds, or driving them
so far away from populated dis
tricts that isolated specimens are
now rarely found in the remotest
result in the adoption of some
plan through which the nee
essary restrictive legislation may
be had. The general government
has thought the preservation of
food fishes of sufficient Importance
to warrant liberal expenditures in

states should take up the subject
of game and make such laws as
may be necessary to protect it
within their respective limits. Ma
ny of the states have game laws,
but the laxity with which they
are enforced renders them in some
cases virtually imperative. The

once SO freely found in Pennsylva-
MIA, no longer exists. The deer

actment. ] is to be hoped that

some plan by which violators of

The Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,,
of Indiana has made speech in
answer to the recent oratorial eff
fort of Senator Morton. He takes
Senator Morton to task for his in
consistency on the financial ques-
ton, as follows:
Mr.. Morton appears now, rath-
er as an apologist for his attempt
to increse the currency than as the
bold defender of this, the best po-
lltical act Of his life.
Quoting this language Of Mr..
Voorhees, the Baltimore Sun
says:
If that is Mr.. Voorhees, Demo
cratic idea, his democracy will not
do for the country at large. Mr.,
Morton's republican finance will
do just as well.

Co-EDUCATIoN OF THE SEXES
AGAIN.--In the discussion at the
National Educational convention
at Detroit recently on the duca-
ton of the sexes, the weight of ar
gument seemed to be against the
commingling of malesand females.
Prof. orion, OF Vassar College, one
of the most successful female col
leges in the world, gave it as his
opinion that young men and young
women could not study side by
side without detriment to the wo-
men. Until girls would compete
in outside sports they should not
compete in the schuol-room. Prof.
Hosmer, of the Wisconsin Univer-
sity. read paper on 1.-THE Co
education of the Sexes in Univer-
stiles He had been eight years
connected with mixed institutions,
and had extensive acquaintance
with professors in similarinstitu-
tons, and the effect, both ofobser-
walton and experience, was de-
cidedly averse to the commingling
of the sexes in the universities
He said that their education might
be successful if their association
was limited to the classroom, but
when it extended to the table and
led to familiar intercourse, it would
be a disastrous failure.

The debts of the Prince of Wales
amount to 100000, or nearly 49,
100000 of our money. The minis
try will make an effort at the next
meeting of Parliament to get the
English treasury to assume this
burden, partly on the ground that
a portion Of the debt was incurred

partly because if this is not done

wives in his establishment. He
saved himself from being expell-

His reelection is largely due to
