The American Pufialo.

The American buffalo hunter has
disappeared with the noble animal that
he so wantonly slaughtered, and it is
to be hoped that he will never again
have occasion to practice his art in
such senseless crusade of destruction
The story of the buffalo should end
with the determination of the north
ern herd in 1888, but under wise pro-
lection and fostering care it may he
that another chapter is still to be writ
ten. The domesticated herds, meager
though in numbers compared with
those that once roamed the treeless
western plains, may yet become the
founders of a stock that shall cover the
vast, desolate stretches of territory
which nature intended for them. re-
deeming the region from its present
barren and profitless condition.
A small herd of twenty buifaloes is
owned by the Island Improvement
Company, and kept on Antelope Island
in the midst of the Great Salt Lake,
where the animals have been grazing
for three years in semi-will state.
The island is thirty miles long AMI six
miles wide, furnishing the animals
with an ideal home where they are not
interfered with by any one. The grass
es on the island are rich and luxuriant
the natural watering places numerous
and the configuration of the surface
rough and varied enough to suit the
desires OF the buTaloes. The animals
seem to do well there, and during the
present year four caves were born.-

Dirty Work.

A lady called upon the NUGGET wish
ing us to make a protest against brutes
who had sent out indecent valentines
through the mails. AS the sen ling OF
obscene or ibelous matter through the
mails is Il felony, the best way to treat
the perpetrators is an application of a
dose of.law. But, on the same subject
we clip the following from the Salt
Lake Tribune, which is the best advice
we could suggest, where proof to con
vict cannot be secured:
A correspondent writes to us pro-
testing against the habit of sending
valentines to people simply to hurt
their feelings. 1t is not worth mind
ing. 1t is simply an eviience of low
and coarse nature, and fresh evil
dence of the natural depravity OF the
human heart. Certainly any one who
would write insulting matter or send
insulting pictures to another anony-
mously, and convert a custom which
was intended simply to be a pleasant
one into something which will wound,
shows how SLOW evolution is in this
world, and how long it requires to al
vance natural brute and barbarian
into civilized being.
