Protection To Fish and Game.

Under the provisions of our new game
law, most of the trout brooks in the county
are placarded And for the first time in the
history of the state, some well-defned and
intelligent action is being taken to replenish
our streams, and to make cheap one of the
most delicious, and now most expensive, ar
ticles of diet. OF course the new law is, TO
a greater or less extent, an experiment, and
works hardship in few cases. Yet the re-
suit which is sought TO be obtained is so OBJ
viously desirable, that we think all will con-
cede the proprety of at least a trial in
this direction.
And while efforts are being made to re-
plenish our streams, we are pleased to learn
that in some sections of the state at least,
the state associations and game clubs are
also moving in the matter of restocking the
mountain lands of Vermont with deer.
The law in regard to their protection is
very stringent, and as the clubs are at con-
siderable expense in the matter, it is safe to
say that they will prosecute all violations of
the law with the greatest vigor. We quote
from the law II shall not be lawful to
pursue, take, kill or destroy any wild deer in
this state from and after the passage of this
act, until the first day of September, 1880.
And if any person, during said period, shall
pursue, take, kill or destroy within this state,
any wild deer, or shall have in his posses
sion any wild deer or part thereof so taken
or killed, he shall be liable to fine of fifty
dollars for each and every deer so killed
taken, destroyed, or had in possession. And
the possession of the meat or hide or any
part thereof of any wild deer, by any person
in this state, charged with any of the Of
fences mentioned in this section, shall be
presumptive evidence that the person so il
possession of said meat, hide or part thereof
is guilty of said offence. 1t shall be Lawful
for any person to kill any dog found pur
suing any wild deer in this state, during tn,
period named in the third section of thi
,ct, provided such dog be killed while in tn,
ictnal pursuit of deer"
During the past few years many dee
have been killed in the northeast part o
the state, and some outrageous cases OF wan
ton destruction are reported. We trust tina
the proper authorities will see that sucl
cases are not repeated, or If they are, tina
some terrible examples are made of the pei
petrators. 1t is a hundred-fold easier to re
stock our hills where deer are to be foun,
at the present time, than to exterminat
those which we possess, and then have to in
port them from other sections of the cour
try for that purpose. A word to the wis
should be sufficient, and the unwise shou
be made to pay for their folly.

Mr.. CHARLES II. GRIMLEY, of New York,
is the latest candidate for the fame and lucre
awaiting the adventurous spirit that shall
first succeed in crossing the Atlantic in a
balloon. Like the erial navigators who
have preceded him, Donaldson and the rest,
he is confident that he can accomplish the
feat, and also like them or most of them,
nothing stands between him and the reaiza-
ton OF the audacious dream except cash.
Given a balloon Of the size to suit him, con-
tanning unnecessary supplies, and, his word
for it, Grimley will arrive in Liverpool or
some other point on the English coast four
days after settling sail from New York.
Grimley promises well-who will advance
him the funds necessary for his voyage

ILLINOIS began state house, for which
three million five hundred Thousand dollars
was appropriated, seven years ago. She
thought to secure some conformity to the
appropriation by adopting constitutional
amendment expressly limiting the cost to
this amount. But the commissioners, after
spending the whole sum and pocketing forty
four thousand dollars for salaries, say it will
take seven hundred thousand dollars more
to finish the building, and much of the work
is so badly done it will have to be done over
again. Yet these commissioners were doubt
less competent men and honorable men.
They always are.

"SHoDDY BUuDiNG.-Close upon the
heels of the falling of the New York post
office roof, comes similar, but more horri-
BILE story from Illinois. The Winnebago
court house, not yet completed, at Rock
port, fell iu last week, killing number of
laborers, and burying in the debris almost
the entire force employed upon the struc-
ture. The killed and wounded number
fully twenty, and twelve deaths are reported
II is high time that this matter of shoddy
contracting was stopped. The censures adj
ministered by coroner's juries sound well
enough, but they do not prevent recurrence
of the same blunders. The case of the
Winnebago building is the most glazing in
stance of careless and criminal incompe-
tence in all the long record of negligence OF
public blunders.

FIVE carloads of vinegar from Chicago
have recently been condemned by the Board
of Health of the Empire city, because it is
dangerous to health, being largely adulter-
ated with suphuric acid and lime. 1t con.
tanned over ifty-four and half grains of
anhydrous sulphuric acid to the gallon.
Five cents worth of oil of vitrol gives
strength to barrel of very poor vinegar,
and it can be sold cheap, but the Board of
Health very truly says it is "a fraud upon
commerce, and dangerous substitute for
vinegar" We shall have to look out what
we buy that comes from Chicago. 1t is a
wicked place.

CARELESS LEGIsLATIoS.-A curious in
stance of hasty and incomplete legislation
has just come to light in Tennessee. The
punishment for horse stealing, robbery or
larceny from the person, house or bridge
burning, house-breaking and some other
crimes, was so severe that the act defining
the punishment for them was repealed by
the last Legislature, but no law was enacted
This leaves the state without eny law
against or punishment for these crimes, and
Tennessee ought to be the rogue's paradise
until the next legislature meets, when the
matter will probably be attended 10,

A Holy War.

In spite of the earnest, and for time
ter at Constautinoplc, it is now said the Sui
tan of Turkey has resolved to unfurl the
standard of the Prophet, and proclaim holy
war. The standard of the Prophet is as old
as Mohammedanism itself. The story is
that it is a part of the rich and flowing
curtains that adorned the apartments of the
favorte wife of Mohammed. Whether it
has survived the twelve centuries and more
since Isamism was founded, or whether it
is only piece of modern silk, does not mat
ter in the eyes of devout Mussulmans. 1t
is the time-honored, the sacred symbol Of
their faith, and its solemn unfurling by the
Sultan at this juncture would proclaim to
the followers of the Prophet in all parts of
the world that Islam was threatened and
that they were summoned to the rescue. This
sacred fag-sacred, indeed, TO Mohammed-
ans--is kept carefully guarded in the Ser
aglo. The total number of NIohammedans
in all parts of the world is now estimated at
VhV hhnhlfu duu otNihNl lnllilUlSs n idiBt
number of these are in Africa. In British
India there are about thirty-fve millions,
ard in other parts of Asia they are numer-
Gus. There are Mohammedars in Asia and
in Africa that have had military training,
and would fight to the death if once enlisted
in the cause. The subjects of England,
who espouse the faith, might create serious
disturbance if that power should fail to
come to the aid of the Turks. And then
too, the Mohammedans by making united
effort could contribute largely of means to
uphold the Ottoman power. If the Sultan
should finally enter upon this step aud ap
peal to the entire Moslem following for hell
in holy war, new phase would be given
to the conflict which would be watched with
peculiar interest by all Christendom.

THE war in Georgia promises to be as
long, if not as bloody, as that in Europe,
1t is year and half before Senator Cor
don's successor is to be chosen, but the
fight is already in progress. His opponents
have opened the contest against him, and
one of the chief weapons of attack is his
friendship for the Presidents friendship
not 80 ardent that his democracy is at all
endangered. But the mere fact that he is
suspected of fayoring the completion of the
count exposes him to denunciation.

CALEB CUSHING is of the firm opinion
that the present extraordinary price of
wheat is largely speculative, and cannot be
maintained. He takes the view that large
amount is laid up in European granaries in
anticipation of the event, and the amount of
the diminuton of consumption which will
result from high prices and the inability of
European poor people to buy. Mr.. Gushing
is quite certain that it is the duty of Con-
gress TO Immediately take measures to permit
the naturalization Of foreign-built shipping,
that American commerce can take full adj
vantage of the opportunities which will
now open.
