Mr. J. Stuart Mill’s tract on Hie “Subjection
*f W«iuen” is tlie lucubration of the most culti
vated mind yet brought to bear on', the
jwiTninmif, question of thccentury; tho“wcH
man problem” has been treated' by other male
writers with as much generosity and candor,
but in Mr. Mill’s statement you find the calibre
•f the statesman and scholar. Mr. Mill’s! view
of the present status of woman,after ah ex
amination of the historical development of so
ciety, is that her subordination is an anomaly
in modem legislation, a solitary breach of what
has become of the fundamental law of civilized
institutions, a single relic of a pre-.
jpature'' "■ world of thought; ,as if a
droid temple, or a great shrine of
Jupiter, Occupied the site of St. Paid’s in Lon
don, and received unintermitting daily wor
ship while the Christian churches around
were onlyresorted to on fasts and festivals. His
picture of this subordination, which is not so
very evident to the superficial eye until the'Se
fcils o'fif are dwelt upon by a master, is pas
sionately earnest and. sympathetic, and ex
haustively minute. The essay, however, has
its limitations, and exhibits no studied-out
remedy for the abuses it so eloquently des
cribes. As a preparatory address, to awaken
the mind to the existing state of things, it could
‘ not be more stimulating. Lippincott & Co.
have prepared an American edition in a neat
book of 174 pages.
Messrs. Lippincott & Co. have just published
two stories of Irish history, by Mrs. Anna H.
Dorsey, one called “Nora Brady’s Vow,” a
modern'tale of a generous and virtuous Irish
girl, whose heroism is delineated for the sake of
vindicating and doing honor to her country
women in our midst, and in which are de
scribed, with considerable power, events of the
outbreak of ’4B; the other a legend of ancient
Irish story, called “Mona the Vestal,” the time
being that of Saint. Patrick, and the aim a study
of the introduction of Christianity. The two
stories are bound together in a neat volume,
and will be found attractive to all who love the
generous Irish character.
Mr. John 11. B. Latrobe has written, and
Messrs. Lippincott have published,a condensed
account of the wonders in various parts of
France, Italy, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, the
Tyrol, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, England
and Scotland. The systematic and intelligent,
style in which these descriptions are strung to
gether that an intelligent man may col
lect a greater number of clear and useful im
pressions in a six months’ scamper, than a
dawdler could do in as many years. “Hints
for Six Months in Europe” is the very hook
for a tourist, who has not much time for study,
to read in the *intervals of preparation for a
similar journey. The “hints” tire precisely
what the energetic traveler, who must “do”
Europe by steam, needs to help him.
Messrs. Lippincott & Co.’s recent religious
publications have been well selected and admi
rably got up. 'file “ Sunday Library ”is com
pleted by lives of the two gland French re
formers, the royal saint, Louis, and Calvin;
the biographer is Guizot, and tlie translation
all that can be desired. Tlie series covers
almost all the developments of Christianity
since it had a history, and tlie lives of such
grand precursors as Seneca and M. Aurelius,
in a beautiful set of five volumes by tlie most
classic modern writers. It should lie added to
the library of every pious reader.—“ Cot
tage Piety Exemplified” is a touch
ing narrative of two holy examples,
such as “teach tlie rustic moralist to die,” in
the lives of Mary and Bobert Dawsou, .obscure
Christians of New England. Their memori
alist. is tlie author of “Union to Christ,” “Love
to God,” &c.—“ The. Christian Worker, a call
to the Laity,” is a little book in which die
author, Rev. Charles F. Beach, reminds ordi
nary Christians how much may be done by their
faithful example and attention to the prompt
ings of duty, for the propagaf:ibn"of Christi
anity in society. It is filled with eloquent ex
hortation, incontrovertible argument, and
pointed and refreshing religious anecdotes. It
is inscribed to the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation of Chicago.
/Blunt’s “Key to the Holy Bible’* is a history
ofjand commentary on tlie Script tires, valuable
for its accuracy ami compactness. It has some
extremely interesting notices, historical in char
acter, of the inspired writers whose collective
pens have, given ns the Bible. An able argu
ment for the inspiration of the sacred writings
follows, their object and the principles of their
interpretation are discussed, and their power as
a guide to faith is testified to,with special refer
ence to the accepted formularies of the Epis
copal Cluu cli. The account of the Apocryphal
writings is short, but complete; and the little
chapter on the Apocrypha of the New Testa
ment is extremely interesting. There is an
Appendix of Bibl* words that are becoming
obsolete outside of .Scripture quotation, and a
good index. This little manual of 150 pages
contains a remarkable quantity of needful in
foimatio'n anil sound argument.
At the request of many subscribers. Mr. Zell
now issues his i'trjtidar linri/clojH'tlia and
Vnirersal Dirtiumirti at tiie rate of two num
bers, or sixteen pages, a week. So far from
exhibiting any retrogression, the work, under
the editorship of Mr. Colange, appears to us to
improve, number by number, in fulness and
care. It certainly deserves, if human pains
can command desert, its already wide and

When armies fled in panic and dismay, and tlie ■
great, cause seemed lost beyond all hope of

and gave victory to the vanquished ? The 'Re

The Reliable Contraband. When we needed
any sort or description of news, upon any sort
or description of subject, who was it that stood
always ready to steal a horse and bring that
news along ? The Reliable Contraband.
My friends, he was the faithfullest vassal
that ever fought, bled and died in the glorious
ranks of journalism,, Thunder and -lightning
never stopped him; the telegraph never over
took him; military secresy never crippled his
knowledge; stragetic feints never confused his
judgment; cannon balls couldn’t kill him; clair
voyance couldn’t catch him; His information
comprised all knowledge, possible and impos
sible; bis capacity to make .mighty statements,
and so back them up so,asf;o make an inch of
truth cover an acre of ground, without appear
ing to stretch or tear, was a thing that appalled
even the most unimpressible with its awful
griindeur.
v Tlie Reliable Contraband is no niore! Bom
of tlie war, and a necessity of the war, and of
tlie war only, he watched its progress, took
notes of its successes and reverses, manufac
tured and recorded the most thrilling features
of its daily history, and then, when it died, his
great mission was fulfilled, his occupation gone,
and lie died likewise.
No journalist;here present can Jay his hand
on liis heart and say lie had not cause to love
this faithful creature, over whose unsentient
form we drop these unavailing tears—for no
journalist among us all can lay Ids hand iipon
liis heart and say he ever lied with such pathos,
such unction, such exquisite symmetry, such
sublimity of conception, and such felicity of
execution, as when he did it through and by the
inspiration of this really gifted marvel of men
dacity, tlie lamented Reliable Contraband.
Peace to liis aslies! Respectfully,
ENGLISH JOURNALISM.
American mill English Newspapers
Compared.
[From the Bouton Commercial Bulletin.]
If there is any one thing aggravating to the
American tourist on his first trip to England it
is tlie supreme indifference of the English press
to American afliiirs. Accustomed to the liberal
enterprise of tlie press of liis own country',
which, with a prodigality of expenditure stops
at nothing when news is to lie had, and which
every morning actually gives him news from
all parts of the world, in addition to copious
extracts from foreign and domestic papers,
lie is struck with astonishment at the com
parative lack of enterprise shown by the Lon
don papers.
The London Times, which for tlie past half
century-it lias been tlie custom for American
papers to gratuitously advertise in paragraphs
about its wonderful system and enterprise,
can no more compare with the New York
Tribune and New York Herald in lateness
of news, amount of news by telegraph and
correspondence, than a stage-coach witli a
locomotive.
Marked features in the Times are the fin
ished style of its editorials and correspondence
and its Parliamentary reports, although tiie lat
ter, I hardly think, are much better made up
than the American Congressional reports in
our own papers. But where tiie inferiority of
the English and the superiority of American
papers is mosl conspicuous, is in the matter of
telegraph despatches, the American papers
using tiie telegraph without stint, and the
English very sparingly. A New York paper
will generally give its readers every morning
from live to eight times as much by home
ines of wire as the London Times. To he
sure we have a much huger extent of territory
-at-home that the wires go over, but then the
American papers. generally give more tele
graphic news from the continent of Europe
even titan the London papers.
The American, on ids iirst visit to England,
calls for the Times at ids breakfast table, and if
lie is lucky enough to get one, turns eagerly to
the telegraphic column to see what may lie the
latest, news from America. He finds a despateli
of from six to twelve lines, in which tiie quota
tions of tiie price of gold, Lnited States stocks,
New York Central, Erie, Illinois Central, ami
oilier shares are given : and perl taps a line or
two saying that Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, Mem
ber of Congress, died this morning; or tiie
President, has appointed George S. Boutwell,
Secretary of (lie Treasury Department. A
hundred other matters which aflect British
and American commerce are not reported;
intelligence interesting to Americans or
anyone who lias ever been to America is not
alluded to; extracts from American papers sel
dom given; and when given, only such as will
give a prejudicial impression; accounts of tlnj
commercial, agricultural .and material progress
of the country seem to he carefully and jeal
ously excluded from their columns, and after
a month's reading of English newspapers, your
wonder that the English people are so ignorant
of our country will give place to as
tonishment that they should have tiny
correct, impression of it whatever. Take, for
example, the recent speech of Mr. .Sumner on
the Alabama claims, which, day alter day, the
papers of London thundered, and roared
and howled over,, wrote against and com
mented on, and not one of them printed in
its columns until an American publishing house,
in answerto a call for it, issued it in a pamphlet.'
Every American knows that had a speech of
equal to this country, been
made in England, it would have been tele
graphed to and appeared in our journals, entire,
within twenty-four hours after it had been
made. Then, again, the enterprise of our own
press jsjshown in its giving extracts, pro and
con, of the”'opinions of'the British press, so":
that the American reader feels that lie is
“posted” and may judge for himself, whereas,
in tiie English papers he gets only one side of
the question, and a meagre allowance at that.
Murders, railroad accidents, steamboat ex
plosions, riots and suicides are the favorite ex
tracts from the American press made, by the
London papers. The progress of great, rail
roads, increase of the great cities in size, and
tiie progress of this country in industry, science,
art and manufactures, are only occasionally
alluded tb.
My national pride, being Touched .at,-..these
omissions, Linquh-iaJ .thb reason-of Omni -«r u
good-natured Englishman, of my acquaintance,
one day: ■
“ Well, the fact is, yah see, we don’t care
much about Amoricar, you’know— yah know—
cept when there’s some dneed row, yali know,
THE DA
;and then the Times tells us.all about it, yah
• 7'f7fX‘
p Anditpii even so; the national-gride i^so. in
tense ithirt the Englishman, as'a'general! tiling,,
,:seeinB ito care very little fory anything : .that-1s '
i'not English; his estimate njCAnythhig as good -
“Or-bacHjsrbased-iiponAtß-Tapptpaqbnr-retreat
from .the British standahi'qfVexqeltence; liis
national vanity leads him! tA care very little
ab.out the progress, or. decline of any other
country, so long as it does not immediately af
fect liis own “tight little island.”'-He hais ap- .
parently pictured in his mind a map of the
world, like that of the Chinese topographer,
which gave his country four-fifths of the space,
carefully drawn, leaving the remainder a blank
. as occupied by outside barbarians.
“But why,” asked I, of my good-natured
friend, “does the Times give, t\vd columns of
bets and horse-race matter, and only a dozen
lines about tlie great Pacific Railroad ?” '
“Yes! ah, tlie Darby, yali -.know—British
national sport—every Englishman knows about
the Darby—couldn’t make up a book without
tlie Times, yah know. The Darby’s right
h’yar, and yah Pacific Railway’s 3,000 miles
off, yah know.”
It is to be acknowledged there was a certain
degree of force in this reasoning, but our Ame
rican newspaper readers, wlio, from appear
ances, number as five to one compared with
Englishmen, have been educated up to such a
point of news-getting that such an argument
would fail to satisfy them. To hear some
Englishmen talk you would think tlie Times
bad been tlieir swaddling clothes in' infancy ,_
was tlieir book of laws in manhood, and would”
be tlieir winding sheet at death.! And yet the
Times, despite its great influence, is far ex
ceeded iii circulation by other papers in
London. Tlie London Telegraph, for in
stance, which, to an American, will seem
in its general characteristics and enterprise
the most like an American paper, t akes more
pains to make itself a sheet for popular read
ing; its editorials are not so heavy either in
subject or matter as tlie Times', but more otf
liand and easier digested; it seems to be tlie
paper of the middle class. In nearly every
railroad station I stopped at in England,ahand
some painted sign-board, sometimes three and
sometimes six feet square, informed me that
the London Telegraph had the largest circula
tion in the world, and immediately under it we
were informed by another sign of tlie same
size, but of another color, that the Evening
Standard was tlie largest paper in the world.
Besides those announcements on signs we
found them on posters of the same size All over
London, wherever bills were posted, and also
posted in other English cities—a style of ad
vertising rather expensive, but hardly so effica
cious-ns the columns of the newspaper.
One is struck by tlie difference between the
American and English as a newspaper reading
people. In our own country newspapers per
vade everywhere; boys liawk them at every
corner, they are sold at news-stands in the en
trance hall of ever}' hotel, newsmen pass
through the care with armsfull on every rail
road line, half a dozen are taken in every hair
dresser’s shop for the use of customers, and the
great hotels have a reading room, with files
from all the leading cities, so that a daily news
paper may be had in America, and is at hand
at any and all times when the reader may wish
it. But here in London I found it compar
atively a matter of difficulty always to obtain a
daily pa]>er. The hotel where I lodged, which
had some thirty or forty guests, “took in” one
London daily Times, a Manchester paper, and
one other weekly. Of course, the first person
who got the Times never resigned it until lie
had read it through, and exhausted the patience
of anybody else who imdertook to wait for it.
There was no 'news stand near nor in tlie hotel
—“the porter could border me a Tina s of tlie
newsman reg'lar when lie came round, if I
wished, as would be ready at breakfast.”
Maiik Twain
Some of my English friends smiled incredu
lously at my assertion that our American busi
ness men generally .subscribed Jorxfrom three
to five daily papers, beside weeklies, and won
dered why they wanted to read tlie news over
so many times, and were also astonished to
know that American coachmen read newspa
pers while waiting for a fare, a porter while
waiting for a job, or a handcart man at liis
cart-stand : that they were always a prime ne
cessity to passengers in cars and omnibuses,
arid were studied, conned and perused at al
most every interval of business, and occupied
no small portion of the leisure hours of all
classes of American citizens. The railroad
stations in London are provided with good
news stands, where tlie traveler may always
obtain tlie daily and weekly newspajiers. and
-also-a--good supply of excellent light literature.
My foreign experience, thus far, however, lias
strengthened my convictions that America is
tlie land of newspapers.
An Interesting: Exhibitior in I.ondon.
An interesting exhibition is about to open in
the Dudley Gallery of tiie Egyptian Hail, in
London. Tiie numerous collections of the
Palestine Exploration in and about .Jerusalem,
with various antique relics from other parts of
tiie Holy Land, brought home by Mr. Mc-
Gregor, tin; geiitleman who made the recent
remarkable voyage in the canoe Roll Boy upon
tiie waters of .Syria and Palestine, have been
arranged for general inspection, with a series
of nearly three hundred and fifty photographic
views, taken in ail parts of the eoiintrv. The
London Tcdri/ruph says:
••Lieutenant, Warren, as is \\‘ell known, lias
been industriously uncovering the very roots
of tiie ancient, city in the service of the Pales
tine Exploration Society. His subterranean
labors have revealed wliat may lie called strati
fied dewislfTilstory. He lias gone down ninety
feet in one spot: and, at the corner of the Jlaratii
especially, at the depth of eighty feet, helms
disclosed the foundation-stones of) the old
Temple, standing upon the living rock, besides
chamber*,--walls, aqueducts, cisterns, and
arches, which begin, after incredible toil, to
range themselves into an intelligible plan re
pealing to us the real Jerusalem of the past.
Those excavations have carried hack research,
indeed, to the days preceding Solomon; for
in one spot a watercourse of masonry
has been Pound passing under tiie tem
ple wall itself, and there are relics in
this exhibition which come from that very
place. The bottom of the Birket Israil, or
Pool of Bethesda, also contributes to the col
lection, as well as the wall of Opliel and -the
Tyropoium Valley; ami at the foot of the
southeast angle of the Great Kainpart which
now Sustains tiie mosques of Omar and Aksa
have been unveiled stones bearing letters in
cised with a chisel or painted in red. These
have been studied by Mr. Deutsch, and de
clared to he construction marks of the Phoeni
cian masons who built the Temple. The fac
similes ol them tints far brought home are
very, much like the first attempt of a small/boy
_to jnake.figures upon liis slatep-JtuCThey aiqr
assuredly of immense antiquity, and no doubt
they represent, as is, stated, tiie actual memo
randa of tiie stone-layers of’ Tyre and Sidon,
‘who took the contract’ from Solomon the
king to build his Temple. From similar mines
of arelueological wealth Lieutenant. -Warren
sends us in this exhibition tiie various fiiids
hitherto exhumed.
. “ Tiie treasure-trove is, of course, of different
epochs and very varying importance. There is
a square brick from beneath the Hill of Ophd
kiln-baked, and coincs from the city as
it existed at and before the time of Christ. By
the.sidc of that rehc are deposited tliree or four
hiUista balls, -roughly chipped out of stone, and'
weighing from live to fifteen pounds, which
were found in the debris of the,Tyropceum, and
most probably were Hung into the city by the
besieging army of Titus. Readers of Josephus

“Lieutenant Warren and his party send us
from the vaults below the area of the Great,
Mosque some fragments of pitchers and cups,
which are thought to be true Phoenician. They
are singularly like the ceramic ware of the.
Kabyles in. Algeria as regards color and *
ornamentation, but the reds and yellows upon
'them are the natuild earth-dyes of all potters,
and the lozenge patterns those also which are
the easiest to make. None'oY the articles are
perfect enough to allow of a judgment from
their shape, which is a surer guide than color ;
or pattern in ancient carthware. Along with
these, however, are some very pretty, and
neatly finished lecythi of an unique form, which,
although very simple, are perfectly true in de
sign,and are rendered positively elegant by their
correct shape.
“There is an especially striking round-bellied
vessel from ‘Robinson’s Arch,’ discovered at
seventy-two feet below the surface, of dark red
clay, and almost as thin as biscuit china. It
may have held the ‘fine flour mingled with oil,’
or the ‘drink offering of wine, the fourth part
of a bin,’ presented when ‘Kore, the son of
Imnah the Levite, was porter toward the East,
over the precious offerings,’ in the reigu of
ilezekiali. With these are mingled some cu
rious little jars of a more primitive type—be
lieved to be Sidonian—though, as they are of
exactly the same shade of color, and made
>apparenly of the same clay,"they may, as likely
as not, have been Jewish vessels to contain oil
or essences in religious or domestic use.
“Under Mount Sion, have been found spin
dle-shaped vessels, small, and possessing the
character of‘lachrymatories.’ -Those, remains
arc very puzzling. Among the most ancient
of the number may be noticed a saucer-shape
piece, of good manufacture and perfect glaze,
which exactly resembles the articles made in
the Punjab to hold camels’-milk cheese, though
it may very well be, for aught we know, the
identical ‘lordly dislr in which Jack the wife
of Heber the Kenite, brought butter to Sisera
—preserved in the Temple—or one of the
•empties’ not returned tot the Queen of Sheba
after her celebrated visit with so many presents
to the spot which is here for the first time laid
bare after four thousand years.
“These objects, at once so old and new. are
to he supplanted, bye-and-hye, with a collec
tion of specimens from Mount Sinai, and some
additional articles of interest from the same
sources contributed by Sir llemy James."
I.ife in a Frontier Fort.
“Caius” writes from Fort Riley to the Army
ami Xavy Journal:
•‘lt was an unlooked-for day in the annals of
the school that witnessed the, transformation of
three of the light batteries into heavy cavalry,
and that saw cannoneers and drivers turned
into troopers. The men, accustomed only to
the light sabre, grinned at a load made up of a
Spencer carbine;twenty rounds of ammuunition,
a large revolver, and a small haversack of ra
tions; the horses, heavy, muscular fellows,
showed unmistakable signs of dislike to the
new business. There was a hurried consulta
tion of cavalry tactics among officers, and there
evidently wasn’t time enough given, for one
commander was heard to tell a man to ‘limber
up that carbine,’ and another man adjusting
his lock was told to ‘quit thumbing that vent.'
The command left for the Indian country in
gallant array; but they left us very down
hearted at die prospect of a lonely post. We
hope that the record they will make
will not detract from the past one. and
that the Indians they meet will be
completely astounded. If the latter shoot,
maim or steal any horses of our section,
we shall certainly start air independent crusade
against them, regardless of Quakers.
‘‘Meanwhile the three-inch gnus and the
twelves are in park, tile harness rests in the
sacks, and we no more hear the rattle of the
wheels as the brigade goes out to drill or re
view. While they are winning fame and
using up horse-flesh, we stay tit home and
make explorations. To-day we were instructed
to inspect certain unknown wilds on the reser
vation, ‘with a view to ascertaining the growth
indigenous to this part of Kansas,’ or words to
that effect, We.tooik, fair note-book and
pencil, mounted aigotliic mule, and started
down a road which leads to tho ford. The
current looked rapid, the river looked broad,
but we remembered the instructions about
fords in artillery tactics, hung on to our mule,
and got through. Across the liver the way
led through a plain,on which there are myriad’s
of wild roses, which you cannot, avoid, and,
therefore, dash through, scattering the rose
buds right and left.. Then we go on by a nar
row path into woods the most wild and dense
imaginable, bending low in the saddle to avoid
the tangled vines, crossing doer paths, clearing
stumps covered with ivy or wild oak, finally
halting in a little opening to breathe the fra
grance of the blossoms and listen to the silence;
and hv an instinct or a Providence, finding a
mulberry tree with its purple fruit, cool, moist,
and ripe.
“Then returning, recrossing the river, with
its swift waters coming full up to the saddle
cloth, we ride up to the heights—the prairies
which overlook all we. have left. Here, too,
we find a vast variegated carpet of flowers, the;
hues of scarlet and gold, of purple and orange,
of blue and crimson and white, this uncnlieil
garden, this parterre; how wo would like to
place bouquets from it, upon the tallies of our
eastern friends, and lo send with them some
of the pure air that-gives toThese ftoryers
their grace, their beauty and their perfume.?’ f

The Alaska Seals.
A curious instance of legislative blundering
appears in the act to extend the laws of the
United States over the territory ceded to the
United States by Russia, approved July 27,
1808. The sixth section of that law provides
that it “shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to kill any otter, mink, martin, sabli or
fur seal, or other'fur-bearing animal, withiiT(he
limits of said territory, or in the waters thereof;
ami any person 'guilty thereof shall, for each
oftencej on conviction/ be fined in any sum not
less than $2OO nor more than $l,OOO, or im
prisoned not more than six months, or both, at
discretion of the Court; and all vessels, their
tackle, apparel, furniture, and cargo, found en
gaged in violation of this act shall be forfeited,”
etc. That is to say, the killing of seals in the
limits of the late Russian-American possessions
is strictly prohibited, anti any person who shall
lie convicted of such killing shall be fined or
imprisoned, as provided, or both, and any ves
sel which shall, in defiance of rill known rules
of commerce and common sense, leave its
“native element," as it is called, and take to
dn land ,and slay these fur-bearing animals,
shall Ire forfeited with all. its tackle, furniture,
and soon. Now, when „a' man attempts to
smuggle goods into any'port without paying
duty, the goods are forfeited, and the vessel
engaged in carrying the goods is also liable to
the same jienalty. But-here is a case where,
tbe vessel is only liable to condemnation when
it has been convicted of the act of killing the
fhr-boaring animals, while there is no provision
whatever for the seizure or condemnation of
the skins so illegally' procured. Steam rams
might be employed to run down the inuoeen
fur-seals, InU no vessels now in use in these
waters will ever be forfeited for killing these
animals. It is plain, however, that killing the
Alaska fur-bearing creatures is illegal: but it
will be difficult to enforce the law in the regions
where it is designed to operate. The poor
Aleuts who get a trifle for the skins have been
in the habit of killing the animals and bringing
the skins into the posts, where they are bought
by agents. And if\ all the Aleuts in the seal
islands were engaged in the business, there is
no possible- way of stopping it at San Fran
cisco. Neither factors who buy the skins, nor
the vessels which bring them here, nor the
skins themselves, are liable. It Is the person
(or vessel) that kills the seal who alone incurs
the penalty of the law, and until the slayer can
he found, no penalty can be enforced. This
is a blunder in legislation, and should lie reme
died as soon as possible by making the traffic
in these illegally procured skins also v illegal,
just as llie reception of, and traffic in, smuggled
goods is treated. And the prodigious clatter
which lias been made by some newspapers re
lative to the subject lias only exposed con
siderable ignorance. It is by no means certain,
however, that any violation of the law lias been
made even bv the poor Aleuts. This act of
Congress was'approved in July, 1808, atid not
promulgated in Alaska’until November, 1808.
The'Wiling season for that year was over long

been commenced, the appropriation must be
sanctioned by the people.

■which will cut oft'twelve to fifteen millions of
the new bonds. It is further stated that the
