So Soon Forgotten.

I was locking through a scrap-book
only a little while ago, and I ran across
the name of a man who but q very short
time back was the leading feature at
Long Branch, whose store on Broad
way was q palace, and who had the
handsomest place in Philadelphia and
was known in all the realms of display.
I refer to H. T. Helmbold, who paid
millions of money to the news papers of
the land, nine-tenths of whom turned
upon him in his time of sorrow and
tibulation, giving him the stones of
ridicule for the return of the bread of
patronage he had SO recklessly thrust
upon the waters of endeavor in
other days Where is Helmbold
to-day? The last I knew he was
in an insane asylum in Europe. I
couldn't tell to say my life where he is.

WRECKED on the irish Coast.

The British gunboat Wasp was wrecked
of the coast Of Ireland Tuesday morning. Fit.
ty-two men were drowned. Among this mum
Der all the officers were included. Only six
persons were saved. IN the rocky coast where
the disaster occurred it was impossible for a
small boat to reach them in attempts to rescue
the ships crew. The Wasp had a registered
tonnage Of SOS tons, and carried four guns.
The British man-of-war Valiant went to Torey
island to render assistance and gather details
of the wreck. The weather was hazy when
she struck, about 8 in the morning.
The officers of the watch ordered
in sail set to steady the boat, as a lumpy sea
was on. His orders were being carried out
when the Wasp, which was greatly out of her
course, suddenly, and without the slightest
warning, struck on a rock. The vessel re-
bounded into deep water. 1t was found upon
examination that q gaping hole had been made
in the boat, and that it would be impossible for
her to keep atloat. Six of the crew who escap.
ed did SO by clinging to the wreckage from
which they were picked up by fishing boats.

The Slaughter OF Western Game.


The recent reports of destitution
among the Indians of the Northwestern
border, not only on the Canada side
but on Our own, have been accompanied
by the statement that this lack of food
supply is almost wholly due to the diff
Guilty of procuring game.
1t may seem late to try to check the
wanton destruction of buffalo, deer, elk
and antelope which has been going on
for many years; but there are laws on
the state book for this purpose which
ought to be enforced, or else so amend
ed that they can be executed. It should
be remembered, also, that some State
laws, although most tardily enacted,
have been found adequate to prevent
the extinction of such animals o the
deer and the moose, while not interfer-
ing with reasonable and proper hunting.
Exactly fifty years ago Congress
passed a law to prohibit the wasteful
slaughter of game in the Territories,
which for half q century has been o
dead letter. Colonel Dodge, of the ar
my, is authority for the statement that
more than 5000. 600, buffaloes were
in the three years 1872, 1873 and 1874
alone slaughtered for their hides.n This
reckless and prodigious massacre
of these animals has almost resulted in
their extinction; and now the same sort
of~destruction is appiiedt to smaller game.
10 speak of these butchers of the buff
falo as pc. hunters is too compliment
tary since the real objection is that
they are not even pot hunters, the an
imal being killed for his hide alone, al
though this brings but q few cents to
the seller. Two seasons ago Colonel
Alexander, Of the Second Cavalry, re-
ported that a body OF 1900 or 1000 elk
had been corraled in the,snow in Yellow
stone Park itself, and were gradually
killed for their skins.
But the hide hunters are even more
excusable than the crowd of sportsmen.
many of them titled personages from
foreign lands, who kill these animals
for amusement, with the sole idea of
firing as many times as possible into q
herd, without making use of even hide
or horns, leaving the caroasses of their
victims to rot on the plains.
An enormous source of food has thus
for years been most shamefuliy wasted,
and now hundreds of thousands of dol
lars needto beprovlded for rationing the
Indians, who would have been glad to
furnish themselves with game or to have
Government hunters supply them.

Castrating m

An English fockmaster says he pre-
fers to castrate when the lambs are
about a month old, because when treat
ed in this way they become fuller in the
leg and nor f1eshy in the back
as they grow up. This is an important
consideration, as it gives q more valu-
able leg of mutton for roasting or boil
ing, and a fuller, more tender and juicy
saddle. He also keeps his nursing ewes
in rather high condition, contending
that fat dams make fat lambs. Thus
treated, the ewes not only give q larger
quantity of milk for their offspring, but
it is also of a more nourishing quality.
This renders the treatment better all
around.

Fraudulent Telegraph Man.

Ont Of the developments Of the telephone
investigations recently made is that the Erie
Telephone and Telegraph company, Of Lowell,
Mass, has, it is said, been most heavily de-
frauded by one Of it's highest officials. L N.
Downs, q stakeholder and general manager Of
the whole system, with headquarters at Low
ell, Is charged with defrauding the company Of
$4,000. In 1888 the Dakota Telephone COM
pany was bought through Downs for the Erie
company, he paying with the consent of the
directors, $4,000. It is now discovered that
he really paid but $50, 900, and the remaining
$4,000 he appropriated to his use. This
transaction did not come to light until the past
week. In August Downs left Lowell for a trip
to Europe, and his whereabouts are unknown.
