HEAD OF A BUFFALO. We notice over
the entrance-door of the State Historic
al Society rooms fine specimen of the
head of buffalo. The animal was
killed on the Colorado plains between
the Union & Kansas Pacific Railroads
in 1875, by Major (. BURNETT, who has
had the head properly prepared by one
of the best taxidermists in New York,
and is by him presented to the Histor-
ical Society. 1t is a remarkably excel
lent specimen, and attracts much at
tention. Madison Journal.

The Dominion of Canada is not more
prosperous than the United States, although,
the rate of wages never being so high, and
the majority of the inhabitants living in a
more primitive and economical fashion, the
depression has not been so deeply felt as here.
The farmers and the fishermen, who form
the bulk of the population, have gone on
as usual aud felt but little difference, but
mechanics and laborers have suffered as they
have here, from corresponding lack of
work and reduction of wages. The labor
Congress, now in session at Toronto, has de-
clared that forced immigration has ceased TO
be desirable, and that the question of popu-
lation had better be left to regulate ITSELF
The question is practical one, and is simply
question whether it pays to hire popula-
tion even at trifing cost. There are vast
regions in the Dominion on which a thrifty
population could comfortably support them
selves, but on which they could never become
rich or contribute greatly by their aggregate
wealth to the support OF the whole country.
Self support is the most that could be ex-
pected of them. Laborers and mechanics
are no more needed in Canada than in the
United States; and on the whole 1t would
seem that the labor congress was wise In
recommending the abolition of bounties upon
immigration.

Who is to pay for the destruction at Pitts
burg during the riot is getting to be much
mooted question. The Plttsburgers claim
that as the riot grew out of disturbance all
over the state, the state as a whole and not
particular communities ought to pay for 1t.
But those municipalities which, like Phila-
delphia, kept down the rioters by vigorous
measures, naturally object to thus being sad
died with the consequences of the imbecility
OF the Pittsburgers. Besides if there is any
thing in this theory then the United States
government ought to pay all the damages,
because the strike extended over the whole
country, Tom Scott, with the exec
utive committee of the Pennsylvania road
has gone to Pittsburg 10 discuss the subject,
and is reported to have offered to take
four per cent. twenty year city bonds for the
whole damages done. But as the city has
already s13,0OO,OO0 in bonds out, and has
defaulted on $4,000, 900, this story is not very
probable.

gift have been developed and put into prac-

extensive, but extraordinarily sympathetic
Much travel, meeting with many men and.
things have no doubt aided his quality OF
generous recognition and subtle adoption Of
the poetic spirit of places and times, near or
remote. This cosmopolitan trait sets Mr..
Taylor apart as a typical poet of his country
itself the result Of many eras and lands, q
mixing of alien things mot to be represented

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter points
out that the tanners are suffering from con-
tinued production, and warns them that
if the follies of former years in this direction
are repeated they will be likely to toll on in
definitely without recompense. eff, on the
contrary" continues the Reporter, "they have
the good sense to suspend operations altogeth-
er till frost sets in, and then to reduce their
production about quarter until the surplus
stocks are worked up-which will take at
least twelve months they will find that a
great deal of heaviness has been transferred
from their hearts to their pockets; they will
have less work to do and more to get for it !;
and instead of sending their overplus TO
Europe to be forced off to reluctant buyers at
grievous sacrifice, their customers at home
and abroad will be on an equal footing, and
both seek the seller in conformity to the le-
gttimate course of trade, instead of being pur.
sued with opportunities and tempted to try
what they do not want because they can get
it very much below the cost Of production"
