There u as some fuguand the is- lands usually in view were hidden, the people lunnged and chatted, and read, or pretended to do so. or questioned the officers. and displayed as much ignorance of geography as a thixdclass public sChOul boy should be ashamed of. Judging by the bunks held in hand. rather than read, the author of “She” is the must pnpular writer just now, "Kitqu Snlumun’s Mines" and "Allnn Quartermain" being almost; the only booxs in sight.

Bnt enough ol‘ Indians, they are very little thought of here. though the Indian Village, Wikwennkong, is one of the chief points ut interest near here. Few tour- Ists to our tov u miss a visit to it. A boat ride a. mile across the buy, then a ride of six miles over a good road behind Indian ponies, brings one to the village. lilttle'tinie is spent looking at the small hewed lug houses, without fence or orna- ment mostly, but if possible a visit is made to the stone church, a large one for the place, the boys’ school, the convent. and girls’ school. The boys and girls learn [U road in English, and learn also Imw to unl'k like “Shoyo nosh,” which he somewhat despises. Who Would ex- pect to find in this hiding place men who have pursued their studies in France and Italy I Here are young men too, the Brothers, teaching In the schools and studying under the Professor for ordin- ation as priests, all under the charge of one Father. A lonely time they have surely, but some of them are in love WiLll the work, to them it is a work of faith. They are worthy successorsor the Father: who gave their lives for these Indian races in the days of French rule, leaving mementnes of their presence in the names of hikes, riVers and buys, and a. lew of them rude niemeutoes which protect their lust resting place. These remote villages, like Manito- waning, have pleasures and enjoymean peculiar to theinselvesâ€"pleaslu‘es that give muscle and vigor. A long walk here is not regarded as a serious matter, a. drive of ii. hundred miles is an ordinary afl'nir, a tWenty-tiVe mile row is only a pleasure trip. Two others and myself took such a. row a few days ago. We started out in the teeth of a hendwind, but we had consulted a barometer, and the wind should have gone down. How- ever. burometers are not infallible. it seems, and we had the headwind and sea all the way, and more of it as we proceed- ed. But “more power to your elbow,” and the boat keeps going. We reacth Little Current after over six hours’ hard rowing, with two rests, a little Mary and hand soreI but as ravenous us WulVea. We returned next morning 1n the hours with the bay quiet. 'ty; in dZZ things, Charity.” When the Indian Department by the Robinson 'l‘rciity received the léllldfi of the Miiiiituuiiii from the Indians and upeiied the country for settlement, the Indians weie guaranteed the payment of 2. certain sum per head per animm frum the Interest U“ the money receiven from the sale of their lands to settlers. But this Indian annuity business may become a. burden on the Department yet; the Robinson Treaty was framed, apparently, on the assumption that the Indian “must go," that he ww going. and would 800" be knuwn nu inure except as a history. The friiiiiei'u uf the Treaty reckoned with- uut considering the facts; the Indians are here to stay, iiiid the Indian problem may be yet :i greater care than it has been. Certain it. Is that the only way tu make Llle race a help and not a burden to our country, is to help them rise in the scale of civilizuiiuu. dying out. Probably it was true at one time, when the advance of the white man destroyed the hunting grounds, and in other ways out ofl' their means of liveli- liOod. The Indian then reached the lowest ebb of a miserable existence, now he has begun to ascend, as he has learned a little more of the white man than his vices. Their number is increasing, I believe, because they live better than formerly It is rather a curious fact that among the lialfbreeds the increase is much more rapid than among pure blood- ed Indians. But this is most probably explained by the better habits and greater indastry of the halfbreeds. Not that the halfhrecd is a creature of good habits. or very industrious, he is very low morally and in every way. and the pure Indian is lower 3U“. Our Toronto Letter. I. RASSINGTHWAITE. At mum on Monday we arrived at ovvr deslination,aiid the next day began work. The township is six miles square, and nearly all the land is gout] Vlay loam. The principal timber is spruce, balsa-n, birch, poplar and Cedztr. It is no: large, varying generally frmn three to eighteen inches in diameter, and in some parts I have no doubt it man cuiild chop an acre in a day. A liver passe-s thmngh the en- tire length of the township and a. ntnnhe: of little streams run into it. The land I am told is far better than that on Me Quebec side of the riVer, and it certairly presents greater inducements to settlers. Almost everything gruwu in the neighbvr- huud of Toruntu can be raised there and can be readily disposed (M to the lnmbrr~ men who require large quantities ot sup- plies every year.

On Sunday morning “e arrived at- k’riest’s Bay, the headquarters of the French Canadian Colonization Society, and here we reumined until the next day. About one hundred families are settled here and in the neighbwhuod, but they have accomplished very little in the way of clearing up the land, and little enterv prise ul any Liuu is apparent. The Crop; looked well and the land appears In be of a good quality. A large tmct has been granted by the Quebec Government to the Colonizmion Saciety, which disposes of it at thirty cents an acre. No one is allowed to settle there “ithuut the con- sent 0 the Society, the aim of which is to make it a. French Canadian settlement. From what I Could gather it is almost it religions enterprisu, and uan Rozum: Catholics are allowed to take up land there. Our destination was one hundred miles further up the river. and the morning after our arrival at Mattawa. we boarded. :he liLtle steamer which was one of the line running between than point and the French Canadian settlements on Lake Temiscemingue, and began the remainder of onrjuurney. The banks of the Otta- wa here are in places five and six hundred feet high and the scenery is grand. Ev- ery few miles we had to land on accvmot of the rapids and cross a. portage to an- other stemner waiting for us on the other slue. This of course took some tiiiie,a|n-i it was midnight. when we arrived at the head Jf the Long Sault Rapids, when: Lake Terniscamingue, which is an en- largeineut of the Ottawa. River, begins. The river in many places here is very deep. The Captain of the steamer stated to us tlmt some men going down on a. raft a. short Lune ago endeavored to anr‘h- or in.

In the morning we arrived at Nurtli Bay, a. rising tuwu at the junct- ion of the Neither“ and the C. P. 1., and which is 230 miles north of Toronto, From there we took the C. P. R. for Maltawa on the Ottawa River, where our men were lured and the balance of our pruwsious obtained. Maitawa is an in- corporated village and is 46 miles east of Nurth Bay and 190 miles above Ottawa. City. I had not. expected to see such a. lively little place in what; I had always regarded as a Wilderness. Most of the people are French Canadians, but nearly all of them speak English as well as their Own language. [Single copies, 3 cts SODTHING, CLEANSING, HEALING. SHARE}? Cold in Head, HAY FEVER. E!
