Very rapidly she communicated her in- tention to Michel, telling hind at the same time the full particulars of Rossie’s inoareera- tion in the Maison de Saute, and bidding him repeat it in Haelder-Strauchsen, if there was a great stir on account of the abduction. Mr. Morton had paid his bills at the inn, and said that he should not return, as he was going to a point‘higher up the river, so no suspicions could be awakened there of anything wrong until the alarm was given at the house. And this, in all human probability. would not be till late the next morning, when, as YuIah failed to appear, inquiries might be made, and the door of No. â€" be forced open, and by that time the fugitives would be miles and miles away, speeding toward the west, and Michel Fahen would be smoking his pipe very unconcernedly at the door of his kitchen, knowing nothing whatever of any escaped lunatic, or of Yulah Van Eisncr’s whereabouts ; knowing nothing, except that, he carried some English-talking people to a‘ railway station. and was rewarded for it many thalers. So, of whatever commotion or ex:- citement there was, Mr. and Mrs. Morton! were ignorant, and kept rapidly on their way until the continent was crossed, and they felt safe in the seclusion of crowded London. Here they rested in lodgings a few days, and called the best medical advice for Rossie, who, since recovering from the dead faint in which she had been more than an hour, had been just on the border land, where her reason seemed hesitating whether to go or Itay. When it first came to her in the car- riage who it was bending so lovingly over her, she had burst into a wild fit of weeping, which frightened them more than the faint had done. Her first words, when she did Ipeak, were: ' “ Everard, where are you ‘2 hold my hand in yours. and I shall noi be afraid.” .Atasign from his wife, Mr. Morton took Rossie's hand in his and held it, wlule Bee whispered to her, “Don’t talk now, darling. It: is all right. We are going home.” to the town. To prevent contagion, it _ was thought best to bury the: body at midnight, with as little ceremony as possible, and thus everything was in confu- sion, of which Yulah took advantage. She was very popular in the house, and when she asked permission to go out for the evening and take one of the nurses with her, it was} readily granted her, with the injunction that she shouldwait until her patient was asleep. or at least quiet for the .night. To this she readily assented, saying that she would look her in the room so as to prevent the possibil- ity oi her venturing into the hall while the body was being removed. This' arranged, her next business was to prepi‘re'Rossie, who had recently sunk into estate of despondenoy amounting almost to insanity itself, and who spent most of her time sitting or standing by the window, with her face toward the setting sun. and such a hopeless, weary expression upon it as was very touching to see. She was standing thus, although it Was already too dark to see more than the lights in the dis- tant town. when Yulsh came hurriedly in, and, bolting the door, went up to her and said in broken English : “ I mean to do it all the time, then I see what come to he,â€"the villain,â€"Jnnd I take much care my poor little one, who so tired and soared in her head, but who come right sure when the boy Everard is near,” Yuluh said, as she stroked fife thin.hot hands, folded “helplessly across Rossic’s breast. The flight from Haclder-Straucheen to the nearest railroad had been accomplished in safety, and there they waited for the animl of the train, which was to take them away from the scene of so much danger. And here it was that Beatrice suggested to Yulah that she go with them to America, either as Rossie’s maid or her own. some HOME. Three weeks after the events recorded in the last chapter. the City ofBerlin came slow- ly up the New York harbor, and of all the eager, expectant faces in the crowd of people upon the deck, none was happier or more eager than that of Beatrice, who, now that her work was accomplished, and Bessie safe in her possession, had given herself up to the pleasure of her honeymoon, andbeen the mer- riest. happiest, most loving of brides, during all the voyage, except when she looked at the White-faced girl who lay in her berth so quiet- ly, or set so still in her chair on deck, looking out upon the sea. with eyes which did not seem to see anything or take note of What was passing. One idea and one alone had possession of Rossie. If she would escape she must be still, and she sometimes held her breath lest she should be heard by the men, who, at the far end of the long hell, were passing in and out of the room where the dead body lay. No one came near No.â€"-. or paid any attention when, about half-past ten, two female figures emerged from the door.â€"â€"one wrapped in a blue waterproof, with the hood drawn closely over the face ; the other unmis- takably Yulah, who, locking the door behind her and putting the key in her pocket, hurried with her companion down the two long flights of stairs, and through a back, winding piazza, to the rear of the house, where the door she had unfastened an hour before stood partly open, and through which she went, dragging her companion after her. It was literally dragging until the safety of the thick shrub- bery was reached, when Rossie gave out and sank down at Yulah’s feet unconscious, and fainted entirely away. To add to Yulah's alarm, there was a sound of footsteps near. Somebody was in the wood besides herself, and she waited breathlessly until the sound ceased in the distance, as the person or per- sons, for there seemed to be two, hurried on. Then, taking Rossie in her arms, she made what progress she could through the dark and underbrush, as she dared not keep to the path. But the gate was reached at last, and with Michel’s strong hands to help, Bessie was lifted over it and into the carriage, which was driven ‘rapidly in the direction of the nearest railway station. Very rapidly she told her that Mrs. Morton and her husband. whom she called anything but Morton, were at the inn waiting for them, and detailed her plan of escape, to which Bessie listened in a. kind of apathetic way, which showed that she did not clearly com- prehend what was meant, or who was waiting for her. Certainly she never thought of Bea- trice, but she understood that all she had to do was to obey orders, and taking the seat which Yulsh bade her take, she set as im- movable as a. stone, with her great, black eyes following every movement of her nurse, who, alarmed at last at their expression and rigid attitude of the figure. which scarcely seemed to breathe, tried to rouse her to something like sense and feeling, but all in vain. ”vNot Everérd ‘2.

It is most desir- able that those in default should make their returns without delay, as both inconvenience and expense would'be incurred by the steps which it would now be necessary to take to , obtain the requisite information in the event of the persons addressed failing to do their duty. The Commissioners on section No. 3 will hold a sitting in Guelph on the 13th and 14th, inst. The object of this meeting is, primarily, to secure the evidence, at the least expense and inconvenience, of several large breeders in that neighborhood of classes not hitherto very prominently represented in the enquiry. such as the Hereford, Devon and Galloway breeds of cattle, and some descriptions of sheep. The tendency of late has been so largely to give an all ab- sorbed attention to the shorthorn among cattle, that there is some danger of the spec- ial merits of other breeds being overlooked. and it is with a strong desire to do justice to ‘ all parties Whose interests are involved as well as to the public that this branch of the investigation is being entered upon by the Commissioners. At the same time advan- tage will be takeh of the visit of the Commis- sioners to Guelph to secure the attendance of some large breeders and feeders of Shorthorn cattle, resident in the county of Wellington. The Commissioners in attendance at Guelph will probably be Messrs. Brown, Whitelaw and Dymond. The sittings will be held in one of the rooms of the City Hall, the use of which has been kindly granted by the Mayor for that purpose. On Tuesday and Wednes- ‘day, the 20th and 2lst inst... some of the Commissioners will meet in London to take evidence in the interests of Section 4, re- lating to fruit growing, forestry, insects and insectivorous birds. and beekeep- ing. It is probable that the first wit- ness called will be Mr. William E, Saunders, son of the Chairman of the Section, who, though a young man, is already eminent as ' an authority in Ornithology and entomology. Mr. Pettit, of Belmont, will give evidence in matters relating to bee-keeping. Mr. W. Haskins, of Hamilton, who has devoted great attention to grape culture, will speak on that subject, and Mr. A. Md). Allan, of Goderich, will be examined as to the fruit~growing in- terests of the Huron district. It is also hoped to secure the attendance of some large breeders and shippers of cattle who reside in Middlesex and adjacent counties. The com- missioners in attendance at London will pro- bably be Messrs. Saunders, Gibson, Dymond and possibly Mr. Malcolm. The sittings at London will be held in the rooms of the Entomological Society of which Mr Saunders is President. It is quite possible that, should other engagements of the Commissioners ' al- low, two or more of them will find a sitting. in Chatham at the close of the London sit- l ting. in order to. facilitate the examination of witnesses from the very important fruit- growing and agricultural district represented by the {most westerly counties of the Pro- vince. It may be well to state that the sit- tings of the Commissioners are in all cases open to the public, and judging by the evi- dence taken hitherto, they are likely to pos- sess no little interest to persons more particu- larly connected with the subjects under enquiry. At the recent meeting of the Com- missioners in this city aresolution was passed authorizing Mr. Dymond, accompanied by some other member of the Commission who will be a practical agriculturist, to hold a sit- ting or sittings for the purpose of taking oral evidence within the limits of the electoral district of MuskokaJhiS course being deemed most likely to suit the peculiar circumstances of persons resident in that district, and se- cure a larger amount of information than could be obtained by summoning a limited number of witnesses to Toronto, It is likely the enquiry in Muskoka. will take place toward the end of August or early in September. In prosecuting their enquiry in Muskoka the Commissioners will seek, as far as possible, to secure the evidence of bone- ftdc agricultural settlers, as distinguished from more temporary residents, orland specu- ‘lators. Already there are not a few of the former class within that district, whose ex- perience in some of the leading branches of agriculture might prove exceedingly valuable. The questions relating to grain. culture and other branches of farm industry, issued under a resolution of a late sitting of the Commis- sioners to practical agriculturists and others throughout the Province, are being rapidly responded to, as well as those issued by sec 1 tion No. 4 on fruit-growing. A very large’ body of information in almost every branch 1 of enquiry has now been accumulated, and‘ no small amount of labor will be required to, put it into such a shape as may render it, most directly valuable to the public. ‘ interest 1113‘, With regard to every- thing else, except Everard, she was silent. and indifferent, asking no questions, and even taking Beatrice’s marriage as a matter oi course, and never offering 2L comment upon it.

He did not even know we were going for you, and we would not tell him for fear we might fail, and then he would feel wmse than ever. But he is in Rothsay, and will be so glad to get his dear little girl once more. Don’t cry,” she added, ‘as the great terns gathered in Rossie’s eyes and rolled down her cheeks. “We meant it for the best, and you shall see him soon, very soon. We will go on to-night, if you think you can bear it. Are you strong enough ‘2” “Yes, '0 onâ€"quicl:,â€"fast, just as we came through Europe.

This taste has been cultivated in home decoration until hardly a chair or piece of furniture is comfort- able to sit upon and a man’s home is anything but a place of rest to him. Under the new dispensation every picture of olden times is sought after, old magazine cuts are hunted out of the garret. grandmothers gowns are furbished' up, ' costumes are copied from the paintings of old masters, and every woman strives to wear something original and totally different from her neighbor. The old custom of following the one Napoleoise of the circle and copying her in dress and style is now done away with, and each lady of fashion fol‘ lows the motto, “be original or be nothing.” Tea gowns and matinee gowns are worn in any texture that is becomingâ€"or better yet, originalâ€"however ugly it is,and the more one makes herself “look like a picture” the more successful she is in her object.

It is not stated whether the babe was dressed like a cherub, or in its conventional dress of lace or embroidery, or whether it put in an appear- ‘ance at all or not. At all exhibitions the ass thetic taste is given full away, and it really looks as if many of the visitors had stepped down from the frames on the walls and were taking part in the busy life that they once: were so merry in. The men have not yet. been enticed into the .old fashions, but how much the ladies would like to try their skill upon them is evidenced by the admiration they have for uniforms ; the gold laces, cords and trappings have a wonderful attraction for the fair sex. and who would not like to see men in something else than the straight.stiff, linen and sober huéd garments of the present day? . i â€"-Necklaces are made of South American ibeetles which are large and very brilliant ; ‘ are arranged in double rows, and are accom- ‘panied by combs of silver wire, upon which ‘the beetles are set in rows of points, six in central projection, then five, then four, then three, two and one, thus forming an arching shape of which the effect in the hair is start- ilingly brilliant and elegant at night. Another beautiful ornament is the real dragon fly of Peru ; exquisitely mounted on a golden wire. This would be a perishable ornament were it not for a wire that sustains the wings and porforates the body, causing the first not only to be sustained but extended. The tiny hum. ming birds are mounted in the same way. and the brilliant hues of their breasts and heads outvie in color even diamonds, for they have every shade anll hue given to precious stones, and glitter like diamond dust. In the opal mines are found opal butterflies that give the same lights as the stone, and their wings are as transparent as the thinnest and purest glass ; these with the scarlet and blank butterflies of rare beauty are similarly mounted to orna- ment the hair. In these Indian ornaments one can carry out original ideas and afl'ord full scope to their love of the peculiar in per- sonal adornment, and can also make them» selves look as Oriental as any of the Eastern princesses. ~The Empress EliZabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary made a public speech in I’esth the other day in aid of the Red Cross Society for the support of soldiers’ widows, orphans and mothers.

Night and day she continued her jour- ney, resting only for a. few hours on the open prairie, flying on her wonderful little steed as soon as she could gather up her forces anew. She forded rivers, she scaled rocky passes, she waded through moresses, and finally nr- rived just alive, to find her husband better.

No two‘individuals from the ill-fated Titania re- produce the same or even a. consistent account of the unhappy occurrence. Itis not surprising, therefore, that a dark cloud of sus- picion has settled on the whole afiair, and that a challenge not to be ignored has been addressed to the judicial authorities of New- foundland to probe the matter to the bottom. ‘ Next morning at six o‘clook,’wh‘en about fifteen miles from the scene of disaster, the fishing schooner P, L.Whitton, returning from St. John’s to the Grand Banks. fell in With the boat’s crews, all well, took them on board and brought them in safety to St. John’s last night. No trace, however, of the money of the unfortunate Rees has been found.

Having forgotten something of im- portance, not named, he again boarded the sinking ship, and, strangely enough, was de- ‘serted in his hour of peril by the crews of the two boats and left to sink with the sinking ship. The deep damnation of his taking off is to-day the subject of judicial .investigation.

ST. JOHN’S. N.F., July 8.â€"The Titania, sailing ship, Captain Lloyd master, owned by John Rees, of Swansea, left St. John’s for Miramichi in ballast on Tuesday morning last. Shortly before midnight, under cover of a dense obscuring fog. the Titania struck with a terrific crash on a huge ice island and in a few hours sunk deep down in ,its wake. As soon as the vessel was known to be irre- trievably wrecked Captain Lloyd ordered the boats to be lowered away. The crew were all got safely out of the ship and all available provisions and stores secured 'to meet possible gontingencies, Mt. Soule weighs about 125 pounds. and, he sank the shoes only about three and a hall inches in the water. ' He walked in them apparently without effort; “squatted” as hunts- men are frequently obliged to do ; fell over- board and climbed into his shoes again, and resumed his rambles ”up and down the middle of the river and along the shores. He does not olaim that the shoes would be serviceable in rough weather or in short chop- ping seas, but on comparatively smooth water he says he can walk along almost as rapidly and certainly as comfortably as he could on land. Next Sunday afternoon Mr. Soule pro- poses to give another exhibition. When the Harlem River was fairly covered with small excursion steamers. sail boats, rowing sculls and all kinds of light-water craft at 2 pm. yesterday, the people were astonished to see a man in bathing costume start from a float moored near the foot of High Bridge and walk across the river. He stood perfectly erect, and passed in and out between the boats, apparently with less trouble than one could cross Broadway on a crowded day. The walker was Mr. W. O. Soule, an enthusiastic young sportsman of Wayne county, who has had much annoyance in losing ducks which he had wounded, and which would land in the water and drag themselves off into little nooks where boats could not be floated or pushed. His inven- tion consists of two zinc shoes. five feet long and five inches deep. They are air-tight, and pointed at each end. In the centre is a space large enough to hold a man’s foot. Under- neath the shoe are two sets of five blades. very much resembling a Venetian window blind. hung on end. but firmly fastened in position. As ~ the walker pushes his foot forward the blades or slats open, and the water rushes through with- out oppoeition andthe shoes move easily along ; but pushing backward closes the slats and wakes a solid sheet, like a closed blind.

In one respect the Duke is no Scotent least of the traditional typeâ€"for he line a. fine sense of humor. He once travelled in Canada, when he was escorted by a guide who had formerly been in attendance on his elder brother. “The Prince of Wales gave me a splendid gold watch, sir,” the guide took an early opportunity of observing.

(From the London Truth.) A Mr. Birch first had charge of him,though I believe his Royal Highness had never any reason to meditate upon the apnropriateness of his tutor’s name. Mr. Birch was succeeded by Mr. Cribs and Mr. Cribs by Major Oowell. Under the care of this last gentleman, the Prince went to Geneva. to study modern languages. At 14 he entered the navy, in which service he has done a fair share of work, though never smelling powderâ€"except- ing such as was burnt in his honor. This is simply because since 1850, when the Prince became a cadet, we have been engaged in no war of sufficient magnitude to justify Minis- ters in permitting a Queen’s son to risk his life.

PELER. Mrs. Garrett Anderson tells a. story which, if we had not her authority for it, would be hardly credible. “A little girl of eleven," she says, “attending one of the best day schools, was obviously finding it very difficult to ever- take her work.” Considering what one part only of her work was. it would have been odd if she had not found it hard to overtake. The German lesson she had to prepare out of school hours included the translation of a part of English into German, and of a page of German into English, together with the learning by heart of nine irregular verbs and two pages of phrases. Of course all this was in addition to the child’s ordinary work in English and French, and probably the usual accomplishments of music and drawing were not neglected. This was in no sense an ex- ceptional case, at all events in this particular school. for when the child’s mother remon- strated with the schoolmistress, all she said was, “Ah, Fraulein is apt to give too long lessons.” As Mrs. Garrett Anderson justly says, with a careless mother. the child would have gone on attempting to do this monstrous task ; and where children’s education is con- cerned, there are as many careless mothers now as ever there were. The only difference there is, that, whereas formerly they did not care how much a child knew, they now do not care how much a child does. Unfortun- ately there is little reason to hope that even medicalwarnings will have much efleot. The doctor is sent for when the child is ill and dismissed when the child gets well, and, as soon as his back is turned, all that he has told the mother is often forgotten. The child must go to school because it is inconvenient to keep her at home, and while at school she must learn what other children are learning. Otherwise the mother would have to take special trouble, in the matter. She would have to ascertain how much work the child was doing, and with how much eade or difli- culty she seemed to do it. Then she would have to make special arrangements with the schoolmistross, who, especially if the child were clever, would naturally wish to press her on, and all this would probably have to be done in the teeth of the child’s own desire to keep abreast of her companions. A process of this kind involves ugood deal more thought and labor than many mothers care to give to their children’s health.~ It is so much easier to say that what is done by all children can not be very injurious to one, and in this comâ€" fortable conviction to allow‘ things to take their course. i It is maintained alike by parents and doc- tors, by school teachers and school managers, says an able writer in the Saturday Review, that the standard of girls’ education, Whether 'in secondary or elementary schools has been placed unduly high, and the facts brought forward in support of this position seem to be beyond dispute. There are several reasons why the danger should be greater for girls than it is for boys. In .the next place the brain power in girls is developed earlier and is stimulated by a greater degree of nervous energy. A very eminent physician has said that women are now aiming at doing every- thing that men do, and that to each thing that they aim at they bring twice the amount of eagerness that men bring. Unfortunately. in spite of all that tho advocates of equality of the sexes can say, women are not the equals of men in physical strength ; and when they try to do the same amount of work, and throw a double mental strain into the eifort, the result will inevitably be seen in one form or another of physical or mental disease. What is true of women as compared with men, is still more true of girls as com- pared with boys. A more precocious growth of brain power naturally leads, unless very great care is taken, to an equally precocious accession of brain exhaustion. In the second place the education of girls is governed by less rational principles than that of boys. Gen-r erations of schoolmasters have pretty well discovered what boys can advantageously do, and what they can not. Good girls‘ schools are things of yesterday. Everything about them is still in the experimental stage. En- thusiastic head-mistresses are keenly alive to the amount of leeway there is to make up, and they have not yet learned that an in- crease of speed which runs the ship upon a rock is only a proof of had seamanship. Ds’rnorr, July 10.â€"0ne of the most rc- lmarkable scenes that ever took place on a 1 race course occurred at yesterday‘s meeting of the Detroit Jockey Club. A row which reached the proportions of a riot occurred, in which, 1nd 1t not been for the strong of the police. two or three men might have lost their‘ lives , as it was, constables though they were, they were hurried olt‘ the giouuds 1 badly bruised, in the Black Marie, guarded by , the police. Three men, Constables Joseph ‘ W. Genick, Bradford and Moss had a. warrant 1 for the arrest of the pool-sellers, and they offered not to serve it if they would give them 1 S50. E. H. Gillman oEfered them $25 to wait 1 until after the races were over before serving ‘ the papers, This the officers refused to do, de- claring that they wanted 8550. MsyorThompson obtained legal advice to the effect that if bail were given the constables could not take the pool sellers off the ground, and then told the constables to go ahead and make the arrests. The crowd by this time had come to under- stand what was going on, and a dozen men promptly pulled off their costs and loudly de- clared that the constables should not take the pool-sellers from the grounds. The excite- ment was running high when Mayor Thomp- son went to Capt. Girardin, who had an unusually large police force on the track, and asked him if he had enough men to protect the constables 111 making the alrest. Capt. Girardin replied by instantly sunounding the, auction pool stand with police, and Mayor l Thompson then invited the constables up to the stand and told them to make the arrest, assuring them that they should be protected, and that there was no use in their attempting to take the pool-sellers off the grounds, as bail would be immediately offered and that the Court was there to accept it. The arrests were made and, Justice l‘oll being present, for the first time on record court was organized n a pool stand. A bail bond was quickly made out, during which time the crowd was hissing and jeering the constables, who but a few moments before were profuse in their threats of what they were going to do. Con- stable Genick declaring that they would take the pool-sellers down town, “ court or no court.” W. G. Thompson and Alfred Brush became sureties in the sum of $300 for the appearance of the three pool-sel'ers. Cheer atter cheer arose from the grand stand and the quarter stretch as the pool-sellers took their places and the constables retired to con- sult. Subsequently the constables again at- tempted to arrest the pool-sellers, but they were attacked by the crowd and very roughly handled. The police finally got the constables out of the muse and hustling them into the Black Maria drove them off towards the city. Extraordinary Scene on 21 Be- troit Courseâ€"A Court of Jus- aice on me.

Dr. Young commenced the payment of In- dian annuities on Saturday at St. Peter’s for the bands near the mouth of the Red River, after which he will proceed north to the Brokenhead River, Fort Alexander, and Black Riverbands. He is assisted by Mr. Vaughan of Selkirk. Mr. A. L. J. Eveque left on Saturday with the means necessary to pay Indian annuities in the agencies of Messrs. * Pither and Mc- Pherson,on the Lake of the Woods and Rainy River. Mr. McPherson will commence paying on the 8th of July. and will be as- sisted by George McPherson, jr. Mr. Pither will commence paying his hands on the 16th July, and will be assisted by Michael Morri- son. Mr. J. F‘ Graham. of, the Indian Office, ienves to-morrow for the Roseau Reserves, to pay the Indian annuities due the bands in that district. As soon as Mr. M00011 gets through the pressure of business in the office here he will resume his tour of inspection. proceeding north to visit the remaining bends in Dr. Young’s agency. Thence he will proceed northerly for a distance of nearly one hun- dred miles to Cross Lake and down the Nelâ€" son River, when he will return to Lake Winnipeg! proceeding to Grand Rapids and the Big SaskatohownL, a distance of 200 miles, to Cumberland, to inspect the hands of Indians included in the agency of Mr. Angus McKay, who resides at Grand Rapids. and known as those included in Treaty No. 5. He will then return to Cedar Lake. cross over the Mossy Portage. a distance of five miles,to Lake Winnipegoosis, inspecting bands en route on this lake until Fairford on the north shore of Lake Manitoba is reached ; thence the will proceed east along the Fairford River to Lake St. Martin’s. and down the Dauphin River to Lake Winnipeg, visiting three bands on the way.

After this Mr. McColl will proceed south to Sandy Bay, on Lake Manitoba, to Totogan. where he will leave his canoe and proceed overland to the Long Plains on the Assinihoino, thence to Swan Lake,_ on the Pembina Biver, visiting all the bends included in the agency of Mr. Ogeltree, and known as those of Treaty No. 1. The Inspector- will then return to Winni- peg and will at gt later date visit the Fort Ellice agencies and the bands at the Roseau River reserves, (Winnipeg Times) Mr. E. McColl, Inspector of Indian agen- cies, has returned from his recent visit to the agencies comprised in Treaty No. Band under the control of Agents Mathews, Pither and McPherson, and also some of those in Dr. Young’s agency. It will be remembered that Inspector McColl left a few weeks ago with his interpreter via Duluth for Prince Arthur’s Landing, the starting point westward of his tour among the aborigines. Having reached Thunder Bay the inspector took the C. P. R. train and proceeded north-westerly to Sa- vaune, the height of land, a distance of 70 miles from Prince Arthur’s Landing ; thence westward by canoe over Lac de Mille Lacs via the Dawson route to Rainy Lake. Four bands of Indians in the agency of Mr. Mathews were visited. In the vicinity of Rainy River, and the lake of the same name twelve bands, in the agency of Mr. Pither, who resides at Coucheeching, were visited. Mr. McUoll next visited the bands around the shores and through the Lake of the Woods and also the bands at Islington and Rat Portage in the agency of Mr. McPherson, who) is stationed at Assabaskasang at the northern extremity of Lake of the Woods. He inspected in all ten bands in this district. The Inspector next proceeded via Winnipeg River to Fort Alexander, at its month, where he visited one band, thence by Lake Winnipeg to the mouth of the Broken- head River, where another band was inspected. These latter two are in Dr. Young’s agency. He next preceeded by Lake Winnipeg and Red River to Selkirk, where he left his canoe interpreter and voyageurs. He then came on to Winnipeg to attend to office work that had accumulated in his absence. In this some- what arduous journey, Mr. McCall had 26 portages to encounter, some of them over two miles long, and with but from two to four voyageurs to assist him. Over these a large canoe and complete outfit had to be carried. This; too, was not the only inconvenience ex. perienced. as mosquitoes. bulldogs and black flies in myriads put their patience sorely to the test, reminding them forciblv of the trials of Job of Scriptural fame. Mr. McCall has come through the ordeal well, and sufi'ers nothing except in the fact that he might be mistaken for one of the aborigines himself. The Inspector has foundlvery little disposi- tion among the Indians to betake themselves to agriculture, and attributes this to two rea- sons, one on account of the arid and barren state of the soil found in most of the regions ‘visited, and the other owing to the abundance .of fish in the rivers and lakes, wild rice in the marshes and game of all kinds in the Woods. He states that even if they were disposed to follow the life of a. granger, they are lacking in the necessary means to follow up its pur- suit successfully. Most of the bands visited between Thunder Bay and Rat Portage are said to be in a state of Paganism invulnerable to the teachings of Christian missionaries. In one or two bands the inspector found a few converts to the Roman Catholic faith. Among the bands at Itat Portage, Islington. Fort Alexander and Brokenhead River. there are quite a number of converts as a result of the work of Church of England missionaries. Mr. McColl says it is greatly to be regretted that illicit traders in whiskey are allowed to ply their vocation among the Indians at Rat Portage and the North-West Angle. The un- scrupulous way in which vendors of rum are K allowed to indulge their nefarious traffic re- quires the utmost vigilance on the part of the Dominion Government and those in authority under them.

Both hands had dropped off at the wrist joints, and the flesh was also worn from the arms. The flesh on the face had a dark appearence and those who saw the body could not identify it. The clothes com- prised a soft felt hat and dark coat and vast of dark mixed material, which together with a gingham umbrella were found in a corner of the fence. On the body was a. blue checked shirt, black pants, and on the feet a pair of Coburg shoes. In the coat pocket was found part of anewspaper, dated June 24th, but nothing could be derived from this or from any of the other articles found by which/fife body could be identified. The two men after taking in tho surround- ings, went as speedily as possible to Hespeler and gave the information of their discovery. A party of about fifty‘ persons went to the place, where a jury was em- paneled, and an informal inquest held by Coroner Swan. The body was afterwards in- terred, the clothes being taken to Hespoler, with a View to identify the deceased by them. “UK INDIANAFI’AIHS‘ NOTES
