FRO): IIE SEAT OF WAR Scenes and ncidenls In [he North-West. When Riel reached Regina he was dressed in a long overcoat and wore a vbroad-brimmed hat. After the battle of Fish Creek, Dumont ordered all the prisoners :o be shot, but RLel interfered and prevented the deed. The robot loss at Batoche is now ' fiiciaily reported by Riel to have been 63 killed and 122 wounded. At Out Knife Creek a large number of halfbreeds, including many whose faces were familiar on the streets of Battleford, were recognized under the paint with which they had bedaubed themselves, and not a few of them paid the penalty of their perfidy. Blue Qiiii's band has been entirely broken up, some being with Pa pas-tay-o and some at Bear's hills. Blue Quill himself expresses a consuming desire to carry Big Bear's hair at his belt. The Wah-sat-now band are at their old ground. Pa-kan and the Saddle Iakers who had joined him, were reported solid for peace up to the last accounts. The enemy at Oct Knife were surpris- ed at the opposition they met, and that they had more than enough fighting is proved by the fact that they allowad the column to reform and return wihuut harrassing it from ambush. They also saw that our troops were more anxious to force the fighting than they were, and could meet them in their own peculiar mode of warfare. Capt. Brown, of Bmlton’s Scouts, was laid to rest on the bank of the rushing Saskatchewan, not far from where the brave scout was pierced by the rebel bul- let. The service was very impressive. A posse of scouts followed the remains to the grave. As the coffin was lowered many tears were shed. It was a sad sight to see those brave men weeping over their dead comrade, who wasa gener- al favorite. A letter from Mr. Boucher, one of the Ottawa sharp shooters, has been received. In it the writer says : “ I was next to Rogers when he was shot. Just think, a bullet which was aimed at me grazed my cheek and on turning around I saw poor Rogers lying beside me. He was shot through the head. However, I had my revenge, for I shot dead the man who killed Rogers, and I am almost certain that I killed two more. I was in a very exposed place and the “beggars” were peppering at me from all points and l at them. I used something near one hun- dred and fifty rounds of ammunition. The fellow who shot Rogers had been shoot- ing at Harry May and me all morning, and a splendid shot he was. There was another fellow shooting at me also and as they were at different distances I had to change my sights very often. I gave up one chap and kept at the other, till I hunted him from his position, and while he was on the run I dropped him.” Frquantly during Colonel Otter's fight the dead bodies of Inc'iins were passed as the skirmishers occupied the ground just vacated. Every warrior was smeared with paint in vermillion, black and r4 d stripes, making their naturally ungainly countenance more hideous than ever. Beâ€" side every body lay a war club, studded With long brarlsdnabigs, with which fearful execution cou performed if the In- dians had ever got near enough to use them. Arno. g the dead bodies passed in the coulees when ret"ring was the inani- mate form of one, whose fate even struok sorrow to the hearts of his enemies. He was an Indian youth, evidently not over sixteen yeaistfage. His youthful face, down which flowed his life blood, looked strangely tranluil in death. Hr aims were extended, while his blanket lay about six feet distant, showing that he had been shot while practising the de- ceptive dodge of the other warriors. As is usual in Indian warfare, each brave was only attired in a scanty breech-cloth and wore the indispensable moccasins A young English fellow was killed at Cut Knife Hill. Hecame outfromEngland some time sinc a, five years I think, and settled in Brandon on a farm. Hearin that teams were wanted he offered his, .and got $5 a day, and all liabilities assum- . ed by the Government. He seemed quite pleased to see so many fellows, and was quite a pleasent companion whilst crossing the prairie. He certainly was agentlenian by education and birth, and when we were ordered to Poundmaker’s he I fi‘ared his team and seemed so pleased that it was accepted. I did not see him all day until thecharge up the first hill, and then he was wrtha rifle belonging to a wounded man doing his best while the remainder of the teamsters where huddled insidi the crowd wand would not go out to save their lives. Blood tells in the end, and when the fel- low shot .Lloyd the Englishman stood up to take aim and was instantly shot by a ball sent from another point. He died fighting bravely, and although it may ap- pear in the papers ‘a teamster shot' the fact remains that he was as brave a man as any on the field, and a. gentleman. When re- turning we got his body and brought it back,and yesterday the impressive service of our church WLS road 0. er th i of all killed. a rem m Private Edward Acheson, in a. letter to one of his friends in Toronto gives the following account of how Private Lloyd was wounded at Cut Knife Hill. “At one stage of the fight, ” he says, “I was left, alone covering six Indians, Who were ready to fire the moment I looked away Just as some of my comrades reached the top of the hill where I stood an Indian arose and I fired, and he fell back. An old Battleford man who was along stood a second to get breath, and at that mo~ went a shot came, and he fell. Firing at the place whence the ball came I retreated to Lloyd, who was some distance back, and handed himgmy rifle and asked him to cover me whilst I got the old man. He spid, ‘All right old boy, I will watch for you,’ and going down on one knee he fix- ed his rifla straight on the edge of the ra- vine, and I knew that if possible he would see me through, and I rushed out to poor Dodds. When within five yards of the edge up jumped an Indian and leveled his ride at me. Just as he did I fe‘l flat on the ground, and the ball went over my head, and he ran back again. I got the old man on my back, and was getting (if when the red beggar saw me, and yelled to the rest to come on. They came charg- ing up after me. As I passed Lloyd I said: ILook out, old fellow, they are o)m ing,’ and in a moment his rifle went bang and he yelled out : ‘I have finished that joker, old mau.’ He foolishly turned his back a second, either to come to my assis- tance or because he had shot the fellow, and that second his back was pierced by a bullet and he fell. I rushed to his assis- tance, and along with McKell got him all the field under a terrible fire, and safely up to the ambulance. About eight or nine times we had to let him fall flat to escape the shower of bullets, and this must have aggravated his wounds considerably." Ambassadors at St. Petersburg. The Cologne Gazette contains the fol- lowing excerpt from “a picture of Peters- burg society" : “ In the embassies the greatest activity prevails. Never were so many diploma- tists ever seen entering and leaving the Foreign Office. Almost every day Cabinet messengers leave for foreign countries or arrive from them. Every day in the after- noon, the English Ambassador, Sir Ed- ward Thornton, may be seen on his way to M. de Giers. When we see the old gen- tleman with his snow-white hair, stooping and going along with shuffling but yet hasty steps,we can scarcely believe that up- on his shoulders rests a great part of the responsibility of a European war. Sir E Thornton in his exterior and na‘ure, is more like a country person than a diplo- maiist in such an important position. If it depended upon him, peace would be assured. His predecessor at this court, the present Viceroy of India, Lord Dollar. in, was quite a different personâ€"the type of a man of the world in his best years. He and his graceful consort were never absent from any ball in the fashionable world ; and it was well known that neith- er Lord nor Lidy Dufi‘arin ever sat out a dance. How often did they not both ix- press their fondness for Petersburg and Russia? And now he is Russia's bitterest enemy, concludes the alliance with the Amir, and declares that he will retire from his post if England makes the slightest concession to Russia. His wife introduced herself here at court in a remarkable manner, which afterwards, when she made herself so universally beloved, was the occasion of merriment. Lady Duiierin was to be presented to the deceased Em- press, Maria Alexandruwna (wife of Alex- ander II.), and was commanded on a cer- tain day to the Winter Palace. A master of the ceremonies received her in the most respectful manner, and motioned her with his hand into a room the curtains of which only admitted but scantily the light of day. The somewhat short-sighted lady perceived herself in the presence of a distinguished lady, and made her the bow that it is customary to make to an Ein- press. The old lady rpoke a few words in French and dismissed her visitor with a polite wave of the hand to the next door. The proud lady had expected more cour- tesy from the Empress, and brushed in- dignantly away in the direction shown her. In the next room a lady came to- ward her with friendly greetings, to which the Lady Dufierin somewhat stifil y replied. Upon which the lady asked her “Did you see my daughter before your departure from Eogland’i' Lady Dofl‘arin answered, ‘Who is your daughter? ‘The Duchess of Edinbugh ” was the reply. The fright of the lady on findingthat she had in this manner come into the presence of the real Empress may readily be conceived. The lady He had taken for the Empress was the wife of the High Chamberlain, Coun- tess Potrasson. “ But now back to Sir E. Thornton. It is a peculiar position that of a repre- sentative of a great Power in the capital of a country against which he may in a few days have to declare war. Everybody looks to him; even in the street he hears how passers by draw each other'sattention to him; and in scciety he is received with twice as much friendliness and kindness as before.

He was accompanied by an aged "uncle," whose hair was gray when the gray hairs (f our girls were gvl ien in the sunlight of youth, and it was for him the bible and writing were intended. “He is 103 years old," said Lawson, and at this the reporter was all ears, as usual. Inquiry of Uncle Nero developed, according to his state- ment, that he was born in Trenton distr'ct, North Carolina, May 9,1782, and was con- s quently 103 years if age on the 9th of May, 1885. He said he came to Eufaula “during Jackson’s war,” and when Eu- faula was Iivinton. The Indians were en- c imped uboveMontgomei-y, and he bought a pony of them for $5. His present Wife, “Henry Kringie’s sister ," is 50 years old, be having married her when she was a “gal,” as he expressed it. She is his ninth wife, and in reply to the question as to how many children he had he said he had been assessed as having 117 ; and it was not for him to dispute it. Last year he cultivated twenty acres of land and raised anatundance of peas, corn, and po- tatoes. This year he is cultivating cotton. He lives within a quarter of a mile of White Pond, where he has been for the past eleven years. He labors during the week and preaches on Sunday. “Will the coming man work ’l” is the current conundrum.

Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern science has been attained by the Dixon Treatment of Catarrh qut of 2,000 patients treated durin the past six months. fuin ninety per cent. 31an been cured of this stubborn malady. This is nous the less startling when it is remembered that not five per cent. of the patients resenting themselves to the regular practit user are benedtted, while the patent medicines and other‘auvcrtised cures never record a. cure or all. btarting with the claim now generally believed by the most scientific men than the disease is due to the presence of llv tug parasites in the tissues. Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure to their exter- mination; this accomplished the rcatarrh is practically cured, and the ermanency is im- questloued. as cures effected him four years ago are cures still.
