The assassination of the late emperor of Russia, is to be commemorated at St. Peters- burg by the erection of a magnificent church on the spot where the tragedy took place. A large sum had been subscribed toward the work, which is being carried on under the auspices of a committee, of which the Grand Duke Vladimir is president. The confiden- tial functionary who had charge of the funds, in whom this aristocratic committee of course had “unbounded confidence; has disappear- ed, and £50,000 has gone with him, the mel- ancholy result being that the emperor has insisted upon his brother, the Grand Duke Vladimir, replacing the deficiency out of his private fortune-an order which has caused the relations between them to become de- cidedly strained.

Royal Phelps Carroll. son of the former governor of Maryland, left this city in 00 her last, says the New York Sun, for a h in the game country around Mount Kiln]! Njaro, in Africa. This was not his first vi,” to the hunting-groan}: of the dark continent; and it may not ba his last, for the news com from Zanzibar that he but returned the after three month: of glori ous sport on 1: great Masai plateau, and that 2x33 head 0 large game, incinéa’ng many lions and 6:19 phuts, flea bdorb his rifle. The same dis» pinch informs us Vast the recent fashionab ’. epidemic has invaded inner Africa, and men men in Mr. Carroll‘s Caravan suffered s6- Verely from influenza. The onslaught- that has recently been made upon these new game preserves raises ’0 , serious question how long the animals W' i hold out. There is ample proof that African g game, like many of our American varieties, 18 ~, by no means inexhaustibie. The South l African rhinoceros, like our bison, is beconl'v a: ing rapidly extinct. Formerly three specié ' roamed in great numbers through the son 'ern part of the continent The largest o 5 them, the, white rhinoceros, is now rarely The; region Mr. Carroll visited, though :1 the equator, is very high and comparatin; salubrious, and it is now the paradise of 3130113 men who go to Africa, on hunting tours. The stories that Thompson and other have? have told of the game of many varieties t wand‘ over those vast plains have thrill . the Nimrods of the north, and not a few Eu lish and Russian hunters have a”:::znd<m§ India. and South Africa and sought the ne region, where they have foung such sport 8b they have sales no: elsewhere. An Eng» glish party of {our genfieman, headed by Sit John Willoaghby. recently returned from thfi Kilime-Kjare country with numerous trci phies of the chase and reported ki‘flin: thirtj? varieties of the larger game, including e10} flirts, lions, rhinaoerogcs, giraffes, ado: species of the unbalope family, ostrichas, z cmcodiles. 3811, and few of the other varieties can now be shot further south than the northern part of the Transvaal. Wissmann tells how the elephant used to come down to the very shore of the ocean in Angola, but hardly a. sped} mu of this animal can now be found men of this animal can now be Iounu throughout that vast region. 4Hunters tn» 1761 sometimes for days from the Zamhesi southward without getting a. single shot at any of the larger game. The days of whole. sale sport are over in many African regions that were once famous. A good many friends of Africa like Mr. Stanley, who, by the way, does not believe in killing game for fun, think it is about time to call a halt. Mr. Stanley severely criticises the British East African company for the unbounded privileges it has given to hunters in the Kilima-Njaro country. In an interview at Cairo the other day he said the company was permitting sportsmen to exterminate the game that would be sorely needed some day as food for railroad laborers. He condemned as senseless and murderous the practice of hunting the big game of Africa merely that sportsmen “may decorate their stuccoed walls with furs, hides, and horns.” .-. ..- 1.. Sportsmen will not sympathize with this view, but the (not tint large parts of Africa are being depopulsted of their big game shows that it is not difficult to overdo the mania for hunting in wild countries. Not many native chiefs are so farâ€"sighted as the savage king of Matabele land, who has prohibited elephant- hunting in his country during a part of every year. There is Litzle doubt nhm unless the wholesale/ slaughter of game in Africa is restraian the country will be swept clean of many varieties that white men would here- after find very useful.

If a. man “‘5 -v- ~w_o._,v,_ sees an animal he wants let him bid what he thinks is the value, and he is more apt to have it knocked down to him.
