Justice to the Wolverine Q.
FROM the Detroit Free Press.

IFOHt Tue O6tptC Tftt ITcSS
The wolverine, symbol of the state of
Michigan, is probably the worst misrepre-
sented and the least understood animal in
all the fauna of America, Or perhaps of the
world. Away back in the centuries travellers
began lying about him, and even in our
own time writers of text books on natural
history have done their share to perpetuate
the errors as to his character and habits.
Michigan people sh uld be glad to learn
that their protege has found a defender,
and most competent one. The big game
of North America is the title of an eiabo-
rate work edited by G. .. Shields,
and ne devotes no less than twenty
one pages to an account of the wolverine,
accompanying his account by portrait of
tue noble animal, which will give many,
even among Michigan people, their first
clear idea OF his appearance. 1t is safe to
say that not one person of a thousand in
this state knows what a wolverine is, and
the number of those who have ever seen
one, alive or dead, is much smaller. The
author tells us that the animal is extinct
within the limits of the United States, and
that to find 1t we must 90 TO the Sub-arctic
regions of British America, particularly of
the northwest. 1t was never abundant in
this country, and its shrewdness aud cum
ming always made it hard to see and harder
| to trap or kill. In Northern Europe and Asia
the animal is unfairly and wrongfully called
the gluttOn. That he has a good appetite,
because, like all Michigan people, ne has a
good conscience, no one will deny but the
stories of the early travellers, which still
damage his reputation, to the effect that he
is a. absolute gourmaud. are not worthy
of belief. 1t is unjust to the point of mean
ness to accuse an animal less than three
feet long from tip to tip, aud weighing on
the average little more than thlrty-six
pounds, of eating full-grown elk at a sit
ting and then going in quest of a dessert, or
OF assailing deer, sucking all the blood
from its veins, and then carrying the b ldy
to the top Of a tree to be eaten at leisure
The wolverine is not that kind of an ami
NAL, and the pres int book for the first time
sets him right before the world and tells
what manner Of creature he is.

QUEER DOING, IN COURT.
Blatant Counsel Permitted to I'M
peach t-rOSpective Witnesses


FREDERIcKsBURG Va, Jan. 17.-The
fourth day of the Mary Washington
monument libel suit opened I'll is morn
ing atl q o'clock. George w. Sheppard,
defendant in the suit, was recalled.
Sheppard studiously evaded answering
questions, but was finally forced to ad-
nit the existence of certain papers,
much to the amazement of his friends.
From his testimony it appeared that
Sheppard gave Colbert and Kirtley
letter dated Feb. %, in which he offered
TO sell the Mary Washington monu-
ment lot, but that the letter
was really written on the 9th
of February. When asked why
he dated tie letter Feb. % his memory
failed him, but the plaintiffs counsel re-
freshed it by telling him he did so for
the purpose of giving the letter prUmi-
hence, as he had stated to MIR. Kirtley,
by dating it Feb. %, Washington's
birthday. The letter. counsel stated,
was given to the New York World cor
respondent, but was afterward stolen
from the correspondent by some one
supposed to be Sheppard's friend. Dur
ing Sheppard's examination plaintiffs
counsel asked Sheppard if he did not
tell Capt. Deatley that the scheme ito
dispose of the monument lot was big
thing. Sheppard denied having SAID so.
MIR. FitZhugh, counsel for defense. in
an inSolent manner denounced Capt.
DeatIey as liar. Mr.. Deatley, who
was present, but wno has not yet been
placed on the stand. here interrupted
proceedings by moving towards Fitz-
hugh. but was kept back by his friends.
Deatley said it was all outrage that Fitz-
hugh should be permitted to lmpeach
the truthfulnesS of man before he was
sworn, and said that if Fitzhugh re-
peated his criticism when he was placed
on the stand he would thrash Fitzhugh
soundly. Deatley will probably testify
tomorrow. Mr.. Fitzhugh wanted the
case submitted to the jury, saying he
was ''tired of the NONSENSE" Judge
Mclaughlin adjourned the court until
10 o'clock tomorrow in order to allow
plant ifs an opportunity tn search the
telegraph company's files and examine
authentic copies of specials filed relat-
ing to the case.

PHILLIPS TO BE FIRED.
Raum Requests the Removal of a
Subordinate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 17.-Gen.
Raum, the commissioner of pensions.
has sent a letter to Secretary Noble, re-
questing the removal from office of
Henry A. Phillips, of New York, the
chief of the middle division in the pen
sion bureau, on the ground that the
efficiency of the bureau would be pro-
NOTED thereby. Mr.. Phillips pension
was rerated and Increased on April %
last, during Corporal Tanners adminis-
tratlOn. For this reason Secretary No
bic, some weeks later, requested him to
resign. This, however, he declined to
do. @and no further action has since
been taken in the case until to-
|, day, owing, it Is said. to the pressure
which was brought to bear in Mr.. Phil
lips behalf by members of congress and
others in high official positions. Ii was
represented by Mr.. Phillips friends
that he was not guilty of any unlawful
act in connection with his rerating, and
further, that he was gallant soldier
during the war of the Rebellion and re-
ceived several wounds from which he is
still a constant sufferer. 1t was also
represented that he was not in the gov
ernment service at the time his pension
was rerated, he having been appointed
TO his present position nearly a month
afterwards. 1t is believed that Mr..
Phillips dismissal will be soon followed
by others whose pensions were rerated.
and that several who are regarded as
less guilty will be reduced in rank and

Judge declined to direct the attention of
the jury to parts of the evidence of the
prosecqtliX. and to instruct them
as to its nature, bearing and appli-
cation. This was regarding the time of
day. lo"ation of the house. and of the
chamber where the alleged crime was
committed; also, that afterward she
joined her companions In the yard and
did not tell them she had been assault
ed. The judge should not have left the
jury to digest and classify voluminous
and conflicting evidence, but should
have explained its nature and purport
to the jury. and told them that If that
part of it as to the public situation of
the place of the alleged assault and fail
ure to hear an outcry were true, the law
made such facts strong evidence to the
discredit of the prOsecu rix. There
could scarcely be case in which the
aid OF a judge could be more important.
Without the aid of the court the verdict
is often the result of lack of intelligent
comprehension and appreciation of the
evidence because of want of knowledge
on the part of the jury of the law.
