vast region, studying the fauna of the country
whether fin, fur or feather, and being besides a
gentleman of thorough education, ought, In the
handsome volume Of G6G octave pages fGfnEgs bf,
valuable account of himself Unqucstionably he
has done So He not only tells those who have
any ambition TO fish, hunt or trap in the Far
West how to equip themselves, where to go to
find fish or game, and how to take 1t, but also
what it consists of and is good for when they get
it, The book not only points out to sportsmen
in pursuit Of the higher game animals, the best
hunting grounds in the world but guides them
by easy and comparatively inexpensive routes
to those grounds and instructs them how to live
and act w they get there. But aside from its

Every citizen is presumed TO know the law. In
this light the volume before us must be regarded
as in the highest degree useful, it's careful per

regard to the requirements Of law for every day
purposes. 1t gives MI outline of our govern

such as citizenship, and civil rights, the Indians
and the Chinese, banking and commerce, and
all matters relating to state laws, including mar

codidcation, sivll damage laws, cruelty to ami
mails, lotteries, Sunday laws, corporations, mat
tiers OF special interest relating to ordinances OF

Whittaker's intimate friend, who was bought
back here from Washington by detectives,

whether he ought not show it TO the Com
mandant; witness had laughed at him; he did
not think Whitaker mutiated himself did
not know VIII, thought Whitaker had been
unjustly treated.
Mitchell testified that he had expressed no
opinions other than that this was political
Job and that Whitaker was paid for it. just
previous to the close of Mitchell s
testimony, Mr.. Townsend, Whttaker's coun-
sci, became involved in sharp personal con-
troveny with the officers of the court, grow
ing out OF some inquiries of Townsend with
regard to the striking Of Whitaker by a
Southern cadet named Mcdonald, and the
failure of the former to resent the blows.
The President of the court said Mr.. Town
send had no right to come there and insult
them, and General Schofeld resented with

Mr.. Townsend, with regard to the rules Of
the academy concerning Ugh ting and return
of blows when struck. The court finally ad
journed amid great excitement.
