Dun BuFFALo.--The London Isieropk
makes On eloquent appeal for the preservation
of the buffalo. Their determination, we ars
assured, 'swould be q national calamity to The
inhabitants of North America" not to speak
of the English tourists who have been attracted
to our Plains. ut is certain, says the 7sls-
graph ''that an act Of Congress less than .
dozen lines in length would put stop to ths
indiscriminate slaughter. Much might be
done by General Sheridan and the many other
officers of the United States Army who ana
always ready to extend generous hospitality to
English noblemen and gentlemen when en-
gagged in hunting upon the Plains They
might be urgent in their circumstances with
their chiefs, President Grant and General
Sherman, with a view to arresting butohery
which is scandal to humanity" We entirely
agree with the Telegraph The time will
come, we fear, when we shall mourn our
lavish waste of the buffalo, just as we are be-
ginning to mourn the waste Of timber by our
easy and unthinking forefathers.
