It is to be feared, however, that the habits and even the natural qualities of the buffalo are undergoing a sorious change in the Park, and that he is becoming a tame and well-dispose 1 quadruped. It is truly sad to think that tho vast herds which roa neJ proudly over the plaius, even as late as tho middle of the present cx^itury, have disappeared. The United Strcios GattUe (London) ?observes: "The encomium pronounced .-by the German Emperor on the drinking and duelling corps of Gsr.nan universities meets with very little sympathy amongst our officers. That it is well to cultivate manliness and disregard of pain is freely admitted, but it is contended that this object can bo attained without the revolting slicing of noses aud slitting of lip3. These words, however, uttered by William tho Second, Train your courage, your discipline and your obedience, without which we cannot as a State continue to live,' are worthy of being remembered and taken to heart."

Secretary Noble disputed the bill. Then the Superintendent wrote to the Secretary. "Indian boy here with six toes; can't possibly wear Government shoe. What shall Idol" The Secretary an" swered: "Off with his toe." Next the Superintendent asked: "Which toet" And the Secretary wrote: "Sixth toe, of course." If the Secretary thought that that ended it he was wrong. Again the Superintendent addressed him, saying: "Toe off. What shall I do with it!" To which the Secretary made final anawer: "Ship to Topeka for interment in Government graveyard." *' . 1 , It will be interesting to remember a prophecy which Sir John Mcdonald once made to a reporter of the New York 8un with regard to the future of Canada.

California is fast gaining a pto ninont position as a dairy State, declares the I American Dairj/mm, some of the Anest French cheeses being made there. In 1830 Mr. L.
