Items of Interest.

The destruction Of buffalo on our west
ern plains is almost incredible, and the gov
ernment should adopt measures to put q
stop to their wanton slaughter. Mr.. John
A. Lessig, who has been surveying out on
the plains among the mountains, states
that his party came upon one spot on the
Republican river where they counted 6,
500 carcasses of buffalo from which the
hides Only had been stripped. He says
that he came across one party of 16 hunt
ers, who stated that they had killed 49,
600 buffalo during the past summer, the
hides only of which were utilized. Mr..
Lessig estimates that there are at least O.
600 hunters encamped along the Rickaree
river, which lies between the two forks Of
the Republican.
THE recent loss of three large passenger
steamships has led somebody to propose
an effectual means Of guarding against such
fatal accidents. Each large passenger ship
should carry small but powerful steam
launch. In foggy weather this launch
should be sent ahead a few hundred yards,
being connected with the passenger ship
by flexible telegraph cable provided with
an electric battery, so that the signals
might be constantly transmitted from one
to the other. The launch should also carry
an electric or other strong light, and be
provided with q powerful steam whistle.
On meeting with ice or with vessels, or un-
expectedly approaching the coast, it would
be comparatively easy to stop the launch
and give warning in time to save the pas
senger ship from harm.-Galary for jana

Gently overlooked country Of the wonderful

seems to have grown so fat by the rich deposit

THE MEROILESS LAW AND A MERCI.
Full JUDGE.

Such is the style the Times sees proper in
which to record the decision Of Judges Brad
ley and Woods in the trial of the Grant parish
prisoners. We were not aware before that oul
fellow-citizens who were dragged from theil
homes and families by pompous and over
Jealous young Deputy United States Marshal,
at the instigation Of vindictive and partisan
District Attorney and arraigned before par
tial and prejudiced judge and packed jury,
were suppliants for mercy. They were guilty
of no crime that made them appeal for judicial
clemency.
Wrongfully and falsely accused, cruelty and
even inhumanly treated, they demanded
nothing but justice. That WAS denied them
by Judge Woods and District Attorney Beck
with, but an upright Judge "that no King can
corrupt" came to the rest ue Of outraged inno
cence and meted out to the sufferers that great
right which is guaranteed to every American
citizen
But the Times characterizes the decision of
Judge Bradley as an act of mercy. Judge
Woods decision therefore, we must presume
is to be regarded as justice (?) Such is the
view taken by the Times of this remarkable
case, which in point Of bitter and unrelenting
on the part of the officers of the
defiance of law and precedent,
and disgraceful exhibition of partisan feeling,
is without parallel in the history Of the juris-
prudence of this country. Let our people
bear in mind the Times and its light and
cruelty frivolous disposition Of a case that
caused so much anxiety and suffering, but
which failed to excite throb Of sympathy in
he heart of its Indifferent managers.
