Buffalo Killed Last winter.
Sioux City journal.

toiouN Wy JOUiHui'
1t is stated by competent authorities that
100000 buffalo hides will be shipped out Of
the Yellowstone country this season. Two
firms alone are negotiating for the transport
tation of $4,000 hides each. When to this is
added the immense amount of skins and
furs of other kiDds-deer, elk, antelope,
bear, beaver, oc some idea may BIO formed
of the extent Of The Yellowstone pei! and
fur trade. Most of our citizens saw the big
load Of buffalo hides that the 9. X. Peck
brought down lat season, load that hid
everything about tho boat below the hurri.
cane deck roof. There we're 10000 hides in
that load, and they were MI brought ont OF
the Yellowstone on ono trip and transferred
TO the q X. Peck. How such load could
have been piled on the little Terry not even
the men on the boat appear to know 1t hid
every part of the boat, barring only the
pilot-houss and the smokestacks Bat such
u load will not be attempted again. For auch
boats AS ply the Yellowstone there arc It
least fifteen full loads of buffalo hides and
other pelts. Reckoning 1000 hides to three
car loads, and adding TO this fifty cars for
other pelts, it will take at least $50 box cars
to carry this stupendous bulk of peltry east
to market. These figures nre not gliesse',
but estimates made by men whose business
1t is to know about the amount of hides and
furs awaiting shipment. Nothing like it has
ever been known in the history of the fur
trade. Last season the output of buffalo
hides was above the average, and las
year about 10000 hides came out Of
the Yellowstone country, or less than
third of what there is now await
ing shipment. The past severe winter
caused the buffalo to bunch themselves in a
few valleys where there was pssLurage, and
there the slaughter went on all winter
rhera was no sport about il, simply shooting
down the famine tanned animals as Gait o
might hes shot down in a bsrn ysri. 70
the credit of the Indians It can be said that
they killed no more than they could save
the meat from The greater part of the
slaughter was done by the white hunters, or
butchers rather, who followed the bushes
of killing and skinning buffalo by the month,
leaving tho carcasses to rot When the
buffalo arc all killed of, rs they bid fair to
DO in very few years at this rate, then
everybody will wonder that the government
did not do something to preserve this the
noblesI of animal game. or at least prevent
the killing of the buffalo for the hides
alone.

How 10 Check Mormonism.
New York Herald.


If churches and other religio-moral organ
iz.tions dislike Mormonism as intensely as
they say they do why do they not fight the
peculiar institution with its own weapons {?
Mormonism is increased and maintained
only by immigration, for, contrary to natural
supposilion, Utah families do not average
more children than those of other territories,
and "tho faith" is not maintained with great
favor by saints of the second aud
third generations. European ignor>
ance and poverty form the main.
stay of Mormonism. The thick-headed
peasant may not be much excited by the
alleged missionary's story of the spiritual
g'ores OF the now Canaan, but he can full,
understand an offer of II free passage to Utah

New Jerusalem on earth. Many man not

iac's being as above why cannot the churches
organize an unsectarisn colonization society,
the agents of which shall follow Mormon
missionaries throughout Europe MS
closely as detectives are sup.
posed 10 follow other mischief
MAKERS? Let the agents work Just where the
Mormons do, but instead of preaching any
machine made gospel, let them offer free
homes TO tho poor and education TO the ipno
rant, all through the spirit of the gospel that
Is concentrated in the spirit of the golden
rule. Let Thorn fight Mormo ism not only
Offering equal material inducements, but by
opening the eyes Of the ignorant TO Tie repu-
taton Of Mormonism amo, respectable

Tor letters home from our foreign born citi-
zens always severely injuro Mormon pros

ever, for general circulation, can be
had in quantity from foreign born Ameri-
cans whom the peasant can identify, and the
Endorsement that our government would give
such an enterprise, would have immense
effect. Such an organization would have To
DO in competent business hands on this side
OF tho Atlantic, and prepared TO complete the
European works by having its protegcs

southern epidemcs. From the following
paragraph from the New Orleans Democrat
it would seem that some Of them ought to
remove the beam from their own 6yot:
Among the many unusual diseases prevail
ing in New York at present are typhus,
relapsing fever and cerebro.spinal meningitis
or spotted fever. The latter is epidemic to a
certain extent, and fatal beyond any prece-
dent. For the first four months of the year
there wero 26S casts and 223 deaths, death
rate Of s6 per cent This is worse than
plague, cholera or yellow fever.

in resigning their seats in the United State
senate is gonerally believed to be to secure
tho endorsement of the New York legislature
BY being reelected, which endorsement Is &c
b, claimed rs an endorsement of the New
York republicans. As the present legisla
ture was elected half year SGD, long before
tbs difference between the president ald

The Monkey at Home.

When they are engaged upon any very
daring raid, monkeys place sentinels upon
the neighboring trees and heights to give
them timely warning of approaching danger'
and should they be surprised through any
fault of these sentnels, the luckess individual
is ei her severely punished or in some cases,
1t is declared, is put to death for his neglect
of tho public safety, According TO some
accounts, these raiders will foim a long chain,
extending from, tho field or garden they
are pluuderiug, towsrd their own place OF
abode, and toss the fruits of their robbery
from one TO che other, till collected together
and placed in aplace of safety. By this
co operative system they are enabled to carry
off much larger booty than they could #
each one only took sufficient for himself
When leaving tho scene of their plumber,
however, each takes of with him rs much AS
he can carry. Fruit and eggs arc their chief
food In state of nature, it is believed,
they will not touch the flesh of warm. blooded
animals, nor in a state of captivity, unless
cooked.

This should he done in the following
manner: Spread out and hang upon

we'll close the fire, place, windows end

to remain shut up for twenty -four h urs.
At the end Of this time the room should
he freely ventilated by opening doors

whi'ewashed, the paper stripped from
the walls and burnt, and the furniture
and all wood and painted work washed
with soap and water containing little

tho greatest possible care should be
taken to prevent any kind Of contain

For the purposes Of artificial disin-
