bits. Formerly had small windlass
attached to each line. and by turning
the crank could control the bulls, no
matter how hard they might pull
Nowadays, however, I drive them
without the use of windlass, with as
much ease and pleasure as though
they were a pair of carriage horses.
I'm addition to the superiority of the
buffalo COW over any of the standard
breeds now generally regarded as the
best in the world, her longevity must
be considered. I have seen some OF
them so old that their horns had de-
cayed and dropped off. saw a buffalo
COW in a geological garden which was
known to be 81 years old, and am
sure I have seen wild cows 10 or IS
years older. They are good milk cows
as long as they live. They are very in
telligent, too, and there is no domestic
animal that is more affectionate."
The Lacey bill, after carefully de-
scribing the metes and bounds of the
proposed preserve for the American
bison," fixes the status of the contract
in the following words: "Thesecretary
of the interior is hereby authorized
and directed to lease to Charles J.
Jones, of Topeka, Kan, his heirs and
assigns, the tract of land described in
section one of this act for period of
20 years, free of rental charge. Said
lease shall provide that the said
Charles J. Jones, his heirs and assigns.
shall place upon said tract of land,
within one year from the passage OF
this act, suitable Enclosures for bison,
and no less than 100 full-blooded Amer.
lean bison, of sufficient number Of
males and females for breeding pur-
poses; that it shall be unlawful to sell,
kill, MAIN or destroy, or otherwise
dispose of or remove from said tract o.
land by the said Charles j. Jones, his
heirs or assigns, or any other person or
persons whomsoever, any female bison
except for sanitary, scientific or hui
name purposes, during the continu-
ance of this lease, unless the increase
should be in excess Of one bison to each
500 acres of land in said tract, and ex-
cept the excess of one male to every
20 female bison.'
Thebill is long one, but this extract
shows how carefully it has been drawn,
in order that the government may be
protected, and the bison protected,
from any possibility Of Jones or any
other person being tempted to take
undue advantage of the privilege grant,
ed. A penalty is also provided that ANY
person violating any of the provisio:.s
of the act shall be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be punished by fine not exceed.
ing $500 or imprisonment OF not exceed
ing 80 days, or both fine and imprison-
ment."
"The proposed safeguards in the bill
meet with my entire approval" says
Col. Jones. while may be honest my
self, and the committee may have per-
feet confidence in my integrity, my life
is like all other lives, and may not last
another day. I am Sc years of age. and
hope to live another 90 years at least.
But if my life should be snuffed out I
want the work to go on, and want it
so guarded that nobody can willfully
use this grant or lease for any personal
gain. SMITH .. Try.

THE FISHERMAN'S RING.
Some Vicissitudes in Its HistOry-It
Is Really Worn by the
Pope.

As some interest has been taken in
the announcement in the Pail Mall
Gazette about Leo XIII. losing the
''Fisherman's Ring,".I may add some
particulars about the famous jewel
which will correct several erroneous
statements.
This ring takes its name especially
from the scene cut on the stone. which
represents St. Peter in a boat drawing
in his fishing net. Its origin is I'M
known, but there are documents PROV
ing that the first to use it as an official
seal was the French Pope Clement VI,
in 1865. However, it is certain that
the popes used it some time before on
secret documents. Since the time of
CaliXtus III. Q455) it has been the
seal for the papal briefs, among which
those of Leo X. (Medic) to Henry VIII.
of England and the cardinal of York
are remarkable.
While the great seal of England is
kept by the lord chancellor, and the
seals of state in Italy are confded to
the guardasigilli, there is no special
official to look after this papal seal ring,
which, when the pope does not wear it,
is given to his master of the chamber,
together with the other effects of his
holiness. 1t has been confided to the
cardinal secretary of briefs-who has
the office of compiling official docu-
ments-only during the short absences
of the pontiffs from the Eternal city, as
in the case when Plus VII, in 1882,
went to Vienna.
If proof be needed for the statement
that the popes wear the "Fisherman's
Ring" history furnishes many. In 179s
the French republicans invading the
pontitical states despoiled Plus vi. of
all he had. Not satisfied, Commissioner
Halter one day went to the pontiff while
he was dining and said: II have come
for your treasure
'But have nothing left!"
"You have on your fingers two pre-
c;ous rings. Give them to me-"
II can give you one which is mine,
but the other (the "Fisherman's Ring")
must pass to my successor"
"Deliver it to me at once or shall
use force!" Plus VI, to avoid violence,
| udAocu ONeI the iii y, WHICH was, now
ever, returned to him the next day,
it having been found that its only value
! consisted in its traditions.
Plus VII, when suddenly kidnapped
in the middle of the night by Gen.
Radet, had this celebrated ring on his
finger. The Napoleonic general, not to
be behind his republican predecessor.
claimed the jewel, which, however, the
pope broke into two pieces before Civ
ing it to him. These pieces were kept
in Paris until Louis XVIII. returned
them to Rome.
! Besides the "Fisherman's Ring"
there are three other seals used by the
holy see; the most important is one
in the form of pincers to make the
| impression on the lead seals of
the papal bulls. This had keep
err, the cardinal vice chancellor OF
the other two, one is for lesser doc
uments, for which red ink is used, and
was introduced by Leo Kill, and the
other simply has the coat-of-arms of the
reigning pontiff, and is used for his
private correspondence.-Rome Cor.

WANTS BISON SAVED.
Col. Buffalo Jones' Plan Endorsed
by Many Congressman.
Asks for the Setting Apart of a Large
preserve for the American
buffalo In the Territory
of New Mexico.

Especial Washington letter.

OOn UFFALo JONES" is here
y and will remain until he
can accomplish the object
OF his coming.
Congressman Lacey, of Iowa, chair
man OF the committee on public lands,
has introduced bill ito set apart Il
preserve for the American bison," and
IL is proposed to place this preserve in
charge OF Buffalo Jones'"
lnasmuch as Congressman Lacey has
great influence in the house OF repre-
sentatlVes, because he is chairman of
the committee on public lands, and in
!, asmuch as that committee will have
charge Of the pending bill, it seems
likely that the measure will, in due
season, become law. It is regarded
as very important proposition by all
congressman who have had time to give
1t consideration, and majority of
them seem to spontaneously favor it,
The proposed preserve is to be To-
Gated near the southeast corner OF
the territory of New Mexico, and is to
be 40 miles square. Col Jones says
that any smaller area would be use
less for many reasons. In the first
place, he says that the buffalo is a liv-
ing barometer. He can tell when it
IS going to rain, or snow, or
blow and he knows how to con-
duct himself accordingly. In a
range of 40 miles buffalo can
take care of himself, and hide in can
yons. or race across the plateaus to
dry places, when snow or rain are
coming. There may be clear weather
ON one portion of tract 40 miles
square, while exceedingly inclcment
weather exists in some other part of
the tract. Moreover, Col. Jones saws

An Historic Cane.

j. C. Hull, of Minneapolis, an old
veteran, has just completed peculiar
looking cane upon which he has been
engaged the past four months
Mr.. Hull served with the 18th Wis
consin cavalry during the civil war,
and the many articles and utensils of
cavalry use have been engraved on the
cane in spiral formation. Mr. Hull
took piece of Havana wood, and the
work was done with an ordinary jack
knife
The head of the cane is deer's
hoof, and in this has been placed 25-
cent piece which Mr.. Hull found in the
streets of Washington the day Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated. The
cane was completed Lincoln's birth
day, this year.
