The presence in any country ol
immense herds of wild herbiVorous
animals, is of course incompatible
with the Simultaneous existence there
of agriculture, and that the bison
has hardly disappeared from the more
fertile portions of our plains and
prairies before vast fields of wheat
and corn appeared over the same
areas, shows that the time for his re-
striction had already come. If. how
ever, he is allowed to become extinct
without some effort to preserve for
a time his existence in the more
worthless portions of the public do
main-portions that for long time, if
not forever, will be useless for agri-
cultural purposes-it will be- a truly
lamentable and disgraceful fact in
our nations history.
From the facts alredy given it is
evident that the buffalo cannot long
survive unaided by government pro-
lection, and it is greatly to our dis
grace that nothing has as yet been
done to check the wholesale and al
most useless murder of these de-
fenseless beasts. No adequate law
for its protection has yet been en-
acted, either by the general govern
ment OF by that of the different
States and territories which includes
portions of its range. How to best
protect 1t, in regions so sprasely pop
ulated, and where laws are so easily
set at defiance, presents by no means
an easy problem, and yet one not
hopeless of solution. The great
traffic in hides could easily be check
cd and wholly controlled. If allowed
at all, the killing should be restricted
to certain seasons of the wear, and
Tire destruction of the females and
the young wholly prohibited. Gov
ernment inspectors should be ap-
pointed, and no sale of hides be al
lowed without their examination by
these officers, while suitable fine OF
other penalty should follow each vi
olation of the law. Buffalo hunting
should also be wholly prohibited
during the period between June and
October, and the destruction of fe-
males wholly prohibited after the
beginning of December. 1t should
be further made a grave offense to
kill buffalo at any time wantonly,
or without properly utilizing it. In
addition to this, certain portions of
the public land now within the range
of the buffalo, might be set apart as
protected ground, within which no
buffaloes should on any condition be
killed, and within which the pursuit
of them should be prohibited. It is
a matter that demands prompt atten-'
ton, and it is to be hoped that the
present Congress will give it the con-
It's Importance merits.

NEPHEW JOHN AND


Standing on the plank-vay,
Johnnie boysand !,
Looking in the water,
To see the fish glide by;
An hail, the glorious spring-time,
The balmy air 50 warm,
Home we are at grand-pa's,
On the dear old farm.
Midway Of the crossing,
Nephew John and ],
See us bending over
To watch the fish dart by;
His chubby hand is placed in mine
The while we gaze so long,
Forsnarrow IS our footing
Although lis very strong.
The shadowy little creatures,
How they stir about;
Darling round in circles,
Frisking in and out;
Sending up the ripples
To draw tints from the sun,
1t seems they're never stopping
Until their race is run.
Resting on the plank-way,
Swift the moments fly,
Looking insthe water
Nephew John and ];
Many years I'm older,
Wiser, too, maybe.
Yet in this amusement,
I'm just as young as he.
~ All, when these fieeting moments
p Have sped the years away,
Til nephew John has grown to De
As old as I'm to-day,
wonder if he then will watch
The fishes gliding by,
As now we love to watch them

Yonder's maiden fairer than the morning.
Now tcst on her your power
Give her the choicest gift in all your treasure,
And will beat you in and ont OF measure,

Such tender looks, such blushng and such

And instantly he maiden left her lover
