THE contents Of the North Amer
lean Review for October cannot
fail 10 arrest the attention of all
readers. Every one Of the topics
discussed i Of the highest present
interest, and nearly all of the
authors are eminent American
Statesmen, publicists and litera-
teurs. Senator John r. Morgan,
Of Alabama, considers some Dan
gerous Questions, namely,
certain emergencies arising III
the administration 81 the
United States government, for
which adequate provision is not
made III the Constitution or the
laws. Among these questions,
that Of the succession to the Pres
idency in case of the inability Of
the elected incumbent, holds a
conspicuous place, and it is treated
by the writer with much learning
and in the most judicial temper
Prof. Geo. p. Fisher, of Yale Col
lege, contributes a profound study
of "Thc Elements Of Puritanism,
pointing out wherein Puritanism
was transient in its influence, and
wherein permanent. a stronger
vindication of Puritanism perhaps
never was written. Senator George
T. EdInunds, of Vermont, defines
the relations which exist between
'sThe State and the nation, !" reply
ing TO an article by the Hon. David
Dudley Field that appeared in the
May number. ID. G. Gilman, Pres
ident of John Hopkins University,
writes of 1.-THE Idea of the Univer-
sity," drawing the line of distlnc-
ton between the college and the
university, and showing how the
latter institution is the indispensa-
bic organ of a generous, liberal
culture. A timely historical paper
is that of Mr.. Sydney Howard Gay,
F"Why CORVALLIS was at York
town." Under the title, "Shall Two
States Rule the Union ," the Hon.
Thomas a. Hendricks discusses
the perennial tariff question, which
he insists is subject not for poll
ticians but for economists, to be
settled, not in the councils of poll
ticians, but by commission OF
manufacturers and business men.
NJ. Desire Charnay, in the ninth
of his valuable archaeological papers
sets forth the grand results of his
researches among the "Ruined
cities of Central America" Final
ly, Col. II. B. Darlington, in an
article Washington as Strate-
1 gist," proves eoncluslvely the title
/ of Washington to be es eemed
"first in war;"

A Michigan man traded mule
10 his neighbor for a horse, warrant
ing to old brayer to be sound in
wind and limb. Not ten days had
elapsed when the mule prayed
his last bray and kicked his last
kick. The former owner refused TO
be responsible and the result was a
lawsuit. When the plaintiff had
told what he knew and thought
and suspected, his wife was put on
the stand, and on the crOss-eXamin-
alton the defendants lawyer said:
Mrs. Smith, what did the mule
die of?
Bolts, was the prompt reply,
Are you sure?
Wasn't the beast choked to death
with some fish bones you gave him
along with his slop.
No sir. We havn't had fish in
the house for a year.
Wasn't is possible that he might
have swallowed hair-pin?
No, sir; I've counted my hair-plns
and none are missing.
Did you ever buy poison to kill
rats?
Never.
Were you at home when the mule
was first taken?
was.
And you told your husband so?
/ did.
Mrs. Smith, do you call yourself
a horse or mule doctor?
No, sir.
Well, how are you so certain that
this mule died of bolts?
Because l am.
i want plain answer. How are
you so certain that the mule died of
bolts?
Well, l looked him all over, and
he didn't have the measles, chick
en-pOX, wh0oping-cough or dumb
ague. My husband looked him all
over, and he didn't have pOll-evil,
collie, swoeny or blind staggcrs, then
we knew it must be bolts.
How do you know?
How did / know? she echoed in
an indignant voice. Do you sup
pose I've kept house for thirty-two
wears and been the mother of eleven
children and not know what the
bolts are? Why, Pve had 'em a
dozen times myself, and the old
man here would have died with
'eIn in March if / hadn't put on
mustard poultices and drawn 'em
out of his system by the way of his
feet BOttsl Why l know 'em

Can SchuTz will psss through here
to-day to engage with others in a
grand hunting expedition in central
| Wyoming. The LEADER has repeatedly
called the attention Of foreign sports
men TO the Wyoming game law; but
they have always pleaded ignorance and
been permitted to slaughter our game
and go away UNPUBLISHED.
That there may be no excuse for
pleading ignorance of our laws on this
subject, We will quote from chapter 50,
Compiled Laws of Wyoming, approved
Dec. 18th, 1875:
Sec. l. 1t shall be unlawful for any
person or persons to kill or destroy any
elk, deer, mountain sheep, or antelope,
within the limits of this territory, be-
tween the 18th day of January and the
10Th day of July.
Sec. s. Provides a penalty Of not less
than fifty nor more than FIVE hundred
dollars, or of Imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail not less than thirty days nor
more than six months. for a violation
Of this act.
Sec. 6. Gives the informer half the
fines collected under this act.
From the foregoing it is plain that
our laws forbid the killing OF game in
this territory at this time Of the year.
The sheriffs of the several counties are
required to see that the laws are strict
ly enforced, and it will become the duty
Of the LEADER and its correspondents
in the various settlements of this terri
tory, to report any infringement of the
law and cause the punishment of the
offenders. The game is gradually dis
appearing from our mountains and
plains, owing to the wanton slaughter
Of the same by nonresident hunters.
The time has arrived to put a stop to
the practice, and the only way to do it,
is to enforce the game law vigorously
and impartially.
