Some citizens of Chicago have char
tered u society similar to one which
now exists in New York for "the pro-
lection of game and fish" We are glad
t. find this sentiment extending to the
West. Our people have dealt with the
fish and game supplies of these rich and
wide countries in reckless manner
The buffalo, which twenty years ago
was valuable supply of food, existing
in countless millions, has been eXtin-
guished. A few Struggling herds have
escaped into the northern wilds. The
hunters report that game which few
xaore.. - lsn,, ,uva,,5 va I6fjl aNu Is ue-
coming scarce. There has been no ef-
fort to observe the laws of growth, the
customs and habits of the animals, to
respect their seasons Of reproduction.
They have been shot for the mere pleas
ure of Staying. So with fish. The his
tory of civilized countries shows that
where Providence has endowed nations
with rich, nutritious supplies OF food
fish, the terrapn, oyster and lobster
people have wantonly sacrificed what
would have been, with due care, an en-
during supply of food. In France and
England the oyster supplies which fifty
years ago were AS plentiful as in Amer
lea, have been so trespassed upon that
the oyster is now luxury. The same
may be said OF the terrapin in Chesa-
peake Bay. In few years it will be
true of the cauvasback duck if il is not
partially true now. An effort has been
made to preserve the terrapin. and ter
rapin culture is in many places an in
terestlng and growing industry. Unless
we watch the oyster beds around New
York but few years must pass before
they will be extinct. A great deal has
been done by our people in the way OF
preserving game and fish by due pro-
cess OF law. and public opinion tends
strongly in that direction. In the West
d reform was needed, and we are glad
to see our Chicago friends take the mat

Keep the Best Sheep.

The flock owner who would constant
ly advance the standard of his flock,
must adhere to the selfish rule of look
ing out for him. He must weed out the
least desirable animals, for the sham
bles or for sale to who choose to buy,
and keep the best results Of his breed
ing and purchases. Where his sur
roundings are such as to limit the num-
Der Of animals that can be protitably
handled, but few years need elapse be-
fore comparatively high standard can
be attained, and this still further adj
vanced by rigid wedding out of less
desirable members of the flock, and
holding on to the best in spite Of the
temptations of long prices for parting
with them. Many of the most success
full breeders make it rule to Gull out
and sell certain number of sheep each
year, supplying their places from
choice of lambs. This not only adds to
the flock the latest results of breeding,
but also serves to keep its number good
from young animals, competent to with
stand such accidental hardships as may
overtake them, and from which may
reasonably be expected the best re-
Spouse to liberal feeding and intelligent
manipulation
The man who permits his flock to be
"picked"-be the price received ever so
tempting -but lends swiftness to his
competitor, which win be turned against
himself in subsequent races for suprem-
acy as breeder. The man who thus
invites himself to secondary place on
the list Of breeders, need not affect sur
prise when the better foresight and
stronger nerve of his neighbors place
him still lower in the category of those
who secure success by deserving it.

Meet Me in the Morning,

He had been absent year, the
youngest pupil at boys school, and
now his mother was expecting him ev-
cry day, and she went about, proud and
happy, telling her friends of his inn
provement in his studies, and always
ending with his being such a good boy.
Then came telegram from Willie him.
self, the first real message he had ever
sent-how funny it seemed, from that
baby-and there was just this simple
form, "Meet me in the morning. His
mother went about all day with it in
her hand, reading it over as if it had
been in the child's own handwriting.
Then she smiled to herself as she pasted
it carefully in a scrap-book, while some
body suggested framing it, to hang over
the mantel.
But all the friends loved Willie; he
was the only son Of his mother and she
was widow-and he did not come in
the morningl There came instead. the
dread news of hasty illness, and his
mother hurried to her darling boy, but
it was too late! The despoiler had done
his work-he was breathing his little life
in the sleep from which he never would
fully awaken here. Only once toward
the last, he Enclosed his eyes swiftly and
saw the dear mother-face bending over
him, and murmured with dry, husky
lips meet me in the morning, NAM

Dear boy! it is morning with him al

Italian skies! while we yet grope
among the shadows. But by ndby

Prescott'e ESCAPE.

The Rockland Courier-Gszette says that
Prescott, the murderer, worked in the various
shops of the prison, but had not genius enough
to work at any mechanical industry. Accord
ing he was employed as a "lumper." Latterly
through the past season he has worked in the
garden and field about the premises. On ths
morning of his escape he was sent to gather
corn. He had brought in two large baskets
full, but when the third one came he skipped,
for on going to the field in the rear of the pris-
on, the basket was found half filled. Warden
Bean was at the State fair at Lewiston, looking
after the interests of the prison, which had
work on exhibition there. A telegram was
sent to him concerning the escape Of Prescott,
aud he came promptly home. In the absence
of the warden, the deputy warden, W. s.
Hinkley, acted promptly and vigorously in the
pursuit of the man who was tracked to Waldo

The Failures OF 1852.

We have received from e. Rusoell & Co.'s
mercantile agency, through T. Frank Jones,
the agent for Portland, their report of the fall
ures for the third quarter, and first nine months
Of 1881 and 1882. Owing to the press ure on
our columns this morning, we can only say the
table shows the failures during the last three
months have been in number, 1900, with liza
bilities Of SIS, ,942, 1893, showing an excess over
those for the corresponding period of 1881,
which were in number 1,024, with liabilities Of
$40, ,112 1865. The excess OF increase of liabili-
ties is principally in the Middle and Western
States. In the Middle States the increase is
entirely due to casualties that have occurred in
New York City, the failures in the other parts
of New York State having been below the
average both in number and amount of in
debtedness.
A comparison of the total figures for the nine
months of 1881 and 1882, shows the proportion
of increase in liabilities 80 be relatively larger
for the nine months of the year than for the
last quarter. Most Of the excess occurred dur
ing the first three months. With the opening
of Spring q general improvement became
manifest, which has been since maintained
Many Of the heaviest failures, which swell the
figures of the last quarter, have been due to
speculation or outside operations, in which, al
though the losses fall largely on those engaged
in legitimate business, the disasters were not
properly chargeable to any condition of trade.
The prospects for the closing months of the
year are generally good.

paad and ninrlav

Among the congressman who deserve and
are receiving good words from all their
friends are Hon. T. B. Reed and Hon. Nelson
Dingley, Jr., cf Maine. If all had served their
country as faithfully as these two, says the
Congregationalist, the nation would have lit
tie reason to complain of the late Congress.
Both voted to sustain the Presidents veto,
and have been found on the right side of all
the great moral questions of the day, while the
former, as the chairman of the Judiciary Com
mlttee, was largely instrumental in carrying
the long-delayed Geneva Award bill through
the House. Mr.. Reed is universally recogniz-
ed as one OF the leaders of the House, and Mr.
Dingley, though he has served but one term in
Congress, has already made large place for
himself as an earnest, Christian statesman.
