Allowing for the million and a half taken away by Ger- many, the population has made no progress at all since 1860. Its numbers are smaller now than the y were fifteen years ago, While the load of taxation has almoat doubled. Equally stationary has been the export trade. The average of recent years has in- deed been 10Wer than for the years immedi- ately succeeding the war. Imports have, on the other hand augmented much, but not because the country has been internally prosperous. The increase is the Coniequence of bad harvests, and indicate a. further denudation of the wealth of the peo- ple. Probably this is one of the last big buf- falo hunts that will ever occur in this country. The Indian, now that he is as- sured of enough to eat at the agencies, is as reckless in his slaughterof the bison as the white man. He seems to consider the game as nearly extinct, and he goes in recklessly with the idea of having all the sport he can before the end is reached. The wanton destruction of this herd has caused great indignation throughout the enti-e section traversed, but as it seems to be the policy to exterminate the bison nothing will be done about it. There were four or five hundred bufl‘alo in the herd, and they were making for British America as fast as their legs would carry them. From the hunters it was learned that the hunt began down in Dakota, on the Cannon Ball River, where not less than 5,000 of the animals were found grazing. A few of the men had followed them the entire distance, but al- though the party that passed here num- bered only thirty, its members estimated that from first to last three or four hun- dred men had taken part in th 3 slaughter. Some of the men who had started out with the original party had remained be- hind at various points to secure the hides, and others, who only joined in for the sport, had dropped out after satisfying themselves with the chase, The rapidity with which these magnificent animals are slaughtered is shown by the fact that the hunters passing through here said they would have the hides of the remnant of the herd before reaching the boundary line. The simple fact is that cancer is not at all a local disease. It affects the entire system ; the change of tissues which con- stitutes what is recognized as the “cancer” is only the local manifestation. Hence the well known truth that removal of the ulcerated part, the tumor is constantly only a temporary relief ; the disease re- turns to its power, and commonly is soon fatal. Hence the universal dread of "the knife,” and hence the readiness to flee to those who give the comforting promise that they will “ draw out the cancer by the roots ;" and beyond question such men will be encouraged in this imposture by continued application for the use of their skill. If they treated only cases where true cancer exists there would be comparatively small evil done, for there is too much reason to believe that the disease is of its very nature fatal, and that its progress to a painful death is sure and steady despite the utmost human skill ; but harmless tumors are constant- ly submitted to their care. Everything with them is invariably a “ cancer," and it must be drawn out. The applications which are made destroy the tissues, for how can they draw the cancer out with- out it? That which was harmless be- comes a source of suffering and even of danger. and if the patient recovers after the “doctor” has taken all the money available, it is paraded as a cure, whereas no cure was needed. The domestic remedies, such as the clover above noted, are commonly harm- less, and While they do no good‘they serve to pacify the patient. 1f cancer is there, it goes on its evil way uncheckeci ; if asimple, non-malignant tumor is in- volved, it either disappears or remains stationary in progress, and presently clover or perhaps cancer root (Conuphvlis Amer-imam) is in greater repute than ever. A Remarkable Bulfan Hunt. People living near Glendive, Montana, were surprised the other day by hearing a loud tramping, and through the clouds of dust kicked up they discovered a herd of buffalo making at a mad pace for the river. The animals appeared to be well- nigh run~down, but many of them were furious. As they came to the bank of the Yellowstone they plunged in poll mell. one on top of the other, and for a. time it looked. as though many of them would be killed, but nearly all got out uninjured. They had hardly reached the other side when u yelling, swearing crowd of white men and Indians came up on foam-cover- ed horses. They paused here long enough to get refreshment, and then resumed the chase. Any disease which is acknowledged by all to be full of danger, 1s sure to be as B'IClated with quackery. Unprincipled men take the edVantage of the popular ignorance of medical remedies to make money. In respect to no disease is this more true than in the case of cancer. And the success of imposition is made easier from the fact that the name is constantly applied to tumors of various kinds, Which have nothing of a serious character, which will disappear of themselves if they are only let .alone. If, however, the name of cancer has been suggested, and then either a “ cancer doctor" has been called, or without any such addition some one of the boasted remedies has been employed, when the tumor gradually diminishes and eventually disappears, the case is herald- ed as a “cancer cure," and the delusion is greatly strengthened thereby. For in- stance, the common-red clover has a great reputation in some parts of the country for curing cancer, and to attempt to con- vince the believers in its efficacy that they are under a mistake is perfectly useless. The case of this one and of that is quoted in proof, whereas no one of them doubt- less had ever the least reason for fear or the slightest sign of cancer. Cancer.

Strangling appears to be becoming as common a means of assault in Paris as the use of the knife is in some parts of Italy. Hardly a week passes without some fresh case of the kind being report- ed, and it too frequently happens that the aggressors escape detection. Cab-drivers have lately been selected as victims by the gangs of rutfians who prowl about the suburbs of the city after nightfall, and omnibus-drivers or conductors also come in for their share of attention. A short time ago, for instance, a tramway car plying between LaChapelleand the Square Monge was the scene of a Very daring attack. It was approaching the former terminus a little after 11 o’clock, carrying but four men as passengers. The con- ductor, or nearing La Chapelle. got inside the car to check his way-bill ; but he had no sooner sat down than he was set upon by the thieves, grasped by the throat, and held until a rope was slipped round his neck. The odds were against him, the driver did not hear his cries for help, and had the victim not been a powerful man he would probably have lost his life. He succeeded, however, in preventing his as- sailants from drawmg the noose tight, and on approaching the terminus they decamped. taking with them the leather pouch containing a portion of the day’s receipts. If murderous assaults of this nature go on increasing omibus-conduc- tors and cab~drivers will have to carry arms about them. CLOTHING HOUSE TORONTO.

In one of the largest and most fashion- able of luncheon rooms, where hurried eaters grab at the edibles most tempting- ly within reach, the consumption of roast beef was insignificant ; and this was par. ticularly displeasing to the proprietor be- cause he had an advantageous Contract for beef. The wreck of a portly, middle- aged Englishman floated in to beg for something to eat. l‘he restaurant keeper hired him for a few dollars a week, dress- ed him well, shaved his face, combed his hair, and made him look like a well-fed Briton of a prosperous sort. Then he brought his biggest roasts uf beef right out in sight, posed him as a carver behind them, and was soon selling 500 pounds a day. The English aspect of the man who wielded the knife and fork had the ex- pected effect.
