Not so Bad After all.

The purchase Of Alaska was
not a bad thing after all: if what
we hear is true. 1t is the local
ity of all others where seals do
most abound. From the seal
fisheries of the north of Europe
come the complaint that the
trade in the region is in a fair
(or rather a fou) way Of being
destroyed. Norwegians. Danes,
Germans and a small percentage
Of Scotch have increasingly en-
croached upon the breeding sea-
son year after year, until now
the report from Norway is that
the race of seals III northern
Europe may soon become ex-
tinct. If so, or indeed, under
any circumstances, Alaska will
almost certainly become the
seat of the future seal skin trade.
The locality literally sWarnS
with seals, and promise an ex-
tensive supply of the peculiar
peltry of this amphibious ami
maj. which has latterly been so
much in request in various civil
lized coutuntries &n me aoSorq-
ing demand Of fashion. Ii
would be judiciousifou goye.rn-
ment were to frame regulations
as regards the wholesale des-.
truction of seals in Alaska ter
ritory, whereby close time
forseals may be established and
enforced, so as to leave the ami
mails nnmolested in the breed
ing season. It does not pay to
destroy the goose that lays the
golden eggs of trade.-Phaa-

Secretary Stanton'sDe

w hat Jerry black mas dark
! ly limited is now boldly stated
in some of the papers, that Sec
retary Stanton fastened his
death, during the last days of
his desponding illness, by par
| tally successful attempt to cut
| his own throat. 1t was one of
his customs, runs the now ex-
traordinary revel ton, to be
shaved at home, and the duty
was performed bya colored bar
Der who came regularly for the
purpose. In Mr.. Stanton's pri-
vate apartment. stood an i'm
provised shaving chair, and to
this the trusty valet would go at
the appointed time to perform
his duty. Mr.. Stanton had
been apparently failing in health
for weekyand had become so
despondent as to almost excite
fears of an alteration of the
mind. On the evening of the
Odd of December the colored
valet called to shave Stanton
They were left alone in the pri-
vate apartment, and Stanton
took his seat in the chair. The
barber had, partly finished his
task, and, ing the razor on a
little table beside Stanton,
stepped across the room forsome
water. Amovementstartled him,
and he turned just in time to
see the glistening steel flash by
the barred throat, leaving a streak
in its wake. Rushing to the
side of Stanton, the barber
caught the razor before another
stroke could be made. He called
for help, and in few moments
there were at the bedside the
surgeon-general, a few trusty at
taches of the government, and
one or two members of the fam
lily. The work had been done,
however, and the life current
reached. At three o'clock,next
morning, Stanton was dead. =
How we'll the secret of his death
has been kept, those who read
this may know.-Springfetd
