PRAIRIE CHICKENS IN NEW JER-
SEY.
Failure of the Astempt to Introduce
Them.

There were prairie chickens 10 New
Jersey fifty years, and the lovers of game
found 1t rare sport to capture them, but
they gradually disappeared, so that a. the
present time many are ignorant Of their
existence. No movement tending toward
their introduction again into the state oc-
CURED until 1872, when the West Jersey
tame Protective society was organized
and then the subject was discussed. A
committee was appointed to examine into
this matter and to learn whether the bird
would live aud propagate in the lower
counties. Time was taken for considering
it. and In 1875 and 1876 twenty eight pairs
were imported from Iowa and placed in a
room 10 Camden properly constructed fer
that purpose. Inquiry was made as to
the best localities for the care and growth
of the game aud arrangements effected
accordingly. They were put In charge of
members of the society. with instructions
to report upon the success or failure
of the scheme. In order to still
further ensure success a Law was
obtained INJECTING heavy penalty for
killing prairie chickens prior.to Novem Der
[. 1850. The birds were liberated in
cumberland, Atlantic and the lower por-
ton of Gloucester county. They were
noted at various points, and from. their
appearance the supposition became cur
rent that they were trying to migrate West
again. Several broods of them were seen
in different places notably in 1877 at Port
Elizabeth and Hammonton. In slS78i
youth shot one and exhibited it as
curiosity 10 Camden From that time
very little has been seen or heard of the
game. and many of the members consider
the experiment failure. They say the
chickens have either fallen a prey to
natural enemies. the fox and hawk. or
have gone to some of the large open tracts
unfrequented by sportsmen. The i'm
portations in 1875 and 1876 are the only
ones reported. and it is not probably the
experiment will be repeated. Between
November and January any one is at
liberty to hunt for the game, bat they
will probably search in vain. With the
exception of these two months there is
fine of twenty dollars for the killing of
every bird - Philadelphia Times

fciently remote to be seen in their true pro- init that the Republican victory of 1880 was due in great measure to the absence of the stalwart, or military, element from the ad- minis. ration for the preceding four years, and to the fact that MT. Hayes gave the country so reputable and generally so satisfactory an administration that the demand for change, which was so pronounced in 1876, had entire ly died out, and the Democrats made no at tempt to help their cause by attacking the government of hepreceding four years.

HOW TWO PROMINENT SOUTHERN.
 FRS LOOK AT TIT

FRS LOOK AT TIT.
 1 Important and significant declarations of l opinion and purpose have just been made by ] two prominent southern men, United States
 Senator Brown, of Georgia, and Congress
 man Aiken, of South Carolina. Senator Browns declaration has 6 peculiar signif- canoe from the fact that it was made on the evening before the election of United States
 Senator from Georgia, and the next day he
 was elected Senator by large majority.
 Addresses were made to the Georgia Leg islature by the candidates for the Senator ship-General Lawton, who was the candi- date of the Bourbon element, and ex-Gov- ernor Brown, who was the candidate of the progressive element. MT. Brown was very frank in his remarks. He reviewed his course during the reconstruction period, when he was heartily in favor of forsaking the lost cause and going to work to build up the waste places. He then said:
 If go back to the Senate I shall not ex- pect to sit and fold my arms and represent the sentimentality of the State shall try to go to work and help my people in any way that can. shall do all that I can to en- courage our agricultural resources. I shall endeavor to aid in the development of our mineral resources. I shall endeavor to en- courage manufactures, and to maintain the proper balance between manufactures and agriculture. Cotton manufacturing will be one of the grand industries of the future We are better prepared for this work than the North. We have the advantages of eli mate, coal is cheap labor cheaper, and the material at our very doors. I have the ed- ucational question very much at heart Disguise it as you may, the New Eng land States, with their schools and univer- sities, have dictated laws to this continent. They have sent New England ideas all over the West and they dominate there. Look at Prussia, that little empire over which Napo- leon rushed and almost obliterated. Hardly generation passed before it had in turn humbled France and taken the power from it's empire. The bright-eyed boys in your mountains and wire-grass may represent you nobly before the world if you educate them. We must also educate the colored race, and they ought to be educated for the benefit of the Union and by the friends of the Union. would devote the proceeds of the public lands to this purpose on a basis of illiteracy. The colored people are citizens and we must do them justice.

 Let us give them every legal right Social rights will take care of themselves. They l are the best laborers you will ever have in your cotton fields.
 These remarks were greeted with frequent and hearty applause, and, as stated above, MT. Brown was the next day elected United States Senator by large majority. Congressman Aiken put his declaration in the form of letter to the Greenville (South Carolina) Neaos, the editor of which had asked him some questions concerning his political opinions. In this letter he gives his opinion of northern Democrats. He says of them q know more about the rank and file of the northern Democracy than all the editors in South Carolina, and never had any faith in them. They are Q party with a name, but without principle. We south erners, Democrats to the core upon principle, have pinn ed our faith to that name or mere shadow, and of course have lost by it.'' MT. Aiken continues as follows
 have long contended that the South
 should become more nationalized and lay
 less stress upon 'Hthe principles for which
 Lee and Jackson fought Suppose you and
 believe in State rights, secession, strict
 construction, ''blood and thunder D and all
 else upon which we attempted to found a
 southern confederacy, what sense is there in
 kicking against the bricks ?" never had
 the faintest hope of Hancock's election, but
 had said so, the wiseacres of the State
 would have sworn I was not leal to the par ty. Indeed, when in retired, secluded To- cality in my own district ventured to col sun- sel with some of my friends and predict fu- ture events, it was heralded to the world that I was renegade and should be run out of the 'sparty.'' Now that their hind-sights are in front what do some of these same wise acres say? Nothing of any consequence,
 but they ready to watch (which way the cat jumps.'' I believe the South in Congress should have nothing to do with partisan en- tanglements, but stand aloof until the time to vote, and then upon all questions of na- tiona1 importance cast solid vote for what they believe to be right, regardless of the fact whether the issue Democratic or Republican in partisan sense. In this way we would hold a balance of power that would result in our being courted by both parties North and enable us frequently to dictate terms upon important issues.
 Such utterances as these indicate that the more wide awake and intelligent politicians of the South we'll understand the situation and they also show that among the people of the South such opinions are more popular than they have been thought to be. It is not likely that Senator Brown said anything which he thought would hurt his chances of election, and Congressman Aiken openly pressed opinions like those contained in his letter while he was a candidate for re-elec- tiOn

 Thursday afternoon Professor EJohn s. Newberry read an interesting paper before the National Academy of Sciences on the
 Deposits of Crystalline Iron Ores in Utah. D The aggregate of iron in Utah, Dr. Newberry other known deposits in this country. He had seen enough lying loose during his short tour in the southern section of that Territory to keep all the foundries in the United States in operation for hundred years. One of the most striking iron deposits upon which his eye had ever rested consisted of group of hills, from 1000 to 1000 feet high, which were penetrated to great depth with paral- Tel veins of iron ore. As one crosses the val ley of which these eminences form local boundary, they are identifable from a dis tance of five or six miles as masses of metal The type of metal was the magnetic, Cor so- called magnetic ore), whose inky blackness of color gave the range the appearance of mountains of coal One of these hills rose the iron axis was disposed in strata as ex- actly parallel to each other as lines could be drawn upon the blackboard. While the prevalent ore in this region was magnetic, 1t was, nevertheless, inter spersed with abundant masses of hematite; and there were many points where the two were intimately intermixed and blended. As one journeyed from point to point in this region the surface was found to be strewn with boulders and broken masses of iron. He remembered such mass about twelve or if teen miles south of Iron City,, which was l. 900 feet long by 800 broad and 200 feet high "A vast castellated crag of black. magnetic. Prof. Newberry had found abundant evidence in their ibrous structure of the sedimentary origin of many of these vast deposits Meta morphism had gone on here upon a giant scale. Anywhere one might pick up vast masses of natural lodestone. The variety of structure was also surprising. Here was mass as solid as cast-iron; near by was mass that was soft, decomposed, and stained Within six to ten miles of this vast deposit of iron was an abundance of the best of coal to work it, so that one could stand on the brink of an iron hill and look down upon coal enough to convert it. Prof Newberry, in concluding his essay. predicted a great future for this region.

The ieemen of the Kennebec now making preparations for another winters cutting and if the season is favorable it will not be surprising if 1,5Oo,0O0 tons are cut On the Penobscot hardly block of ice had been cut for shipment up to last winter, when the shrewd men of Bangor housed and stacked a great quantity of it, which they disposed of at large profits. The coming season promises to be very busy one on this river, and although none of those who engaged in the business last season have any idea of realizing such handsome gains as they did then, they will endeavor to increase over last years cut, and will have the compe- tition of several new concerns.
