\Vhen. under the generalship of Captain Joseph Brant, these people allied their forces with the British, and le‘t, in the iMohawk Valley a precarious livelihood that had been riddled and checkered by the numerous wars of the colonists, the im- perial government allotted them a. reserve grant which comprised the land lying within six miles on either side of the Grand River, from its source to its mouth. At that period these were hunting and fishing grounds unequalled in the coun- rtry; but a century of insilious inroads a'made by white settlers, of a civili- zation no: always wisely conducted, has despoilod R's Iroquois of his game. his national glory and hardihood, and the greater portion or his real estate, inasmuch as the reserve has dwindled and shrunken into a comparative dot of land that embrac- es but 713,000 acres of the least value along the entire course of the river. In early times much of this land slipped out of the Indian’s possession in an unrecorded manner but after a season. when incoming whites were settling the country, the demand for river lands in southern Upper Canada grew urgent, and the Iroquois were induced to surrender their reserve bit after hit, until now, in lieu of their erstwhile real estate, they have deposited with the Dominion government upwards of eight hundred thousand dollars. the interest on which they draw biannually individually, the amount varying in acmrdauee with the ex- penditure they make on public works within their own reserve. THE ERDQUUIS INDIANS: Within the last decade public interest in the North American Indiana has under- gone a r;vival, whither induced by the fact that the red man is making a final and powerful effort, to .‘obtain a hearing of his wrongs. and emphasizing this endeavor by frequent bloodshed in the far West, or whether by the renewed and assi-iuous application of othnologists and arclneolngisls to Indian subjects, it is diflicult to decide, writes E. Pauline John- son in Harper‘s Weekly. The latter may well direct their intentions to the investi- gation and study of this probably moat romantic and poetic people the world has ever known, for the day is well nigh dead for the purity of ceremonial rites, folk-lore and tradition amongst their many hundred nations, for civilization and inter marriage are adultersting these exclusive tribal ordinances that {or many centuries have been the stronghold of a most conservative The six distinct tribes that compose the Iroquois nation, being the Mohawkflayuga. Onondaga, Seneca, Oneida, and Tuscarora, have since the American War of Indepen- dence been permanently settled in south. western Ontario. Frugmeutary remnants of the different tribes and bands are scat- tered throughout New York State and por- tions of the various reserves in Canada. but the original and collective stock have for upwards of a. hundred years made their homes on the shores of the Grand River, one ofthe loveliest and most legend~througed streams in the province. “'1th the exception of Finland, the coun- try is unknown that pesseases such wealth of folk-lore as America. There are mines of unchronicled legends and superstitions. each colored by tribal distinctions, that scholars will never unearth, and that will perish with the people whose blood grows annually thinner and paler as their prairies receive the “white man’s footprint,” as their rivers ripple to the dip of his oars,“ their forests fall at the hurling of his axe, and who will themselves be but a tradition and a memory in the lapse of a century or so. Probably themosl famous andwell-known Indian nation, both on the pages of history and in the press of to-day, is the Iroquois. that, magnificent people whose name was synonymous with war, blood, and bravery throughoub the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.andwhose descendants still possess much of the fire and all of the exclusive birthrights of tradition so jealously ireasux: ed by their ancestors. â€"u. free commonwealth older even than any in Europe except those 0!

Of this mighty alliance that terrorized the entire continent north of Mexico. and which was originally cemented together by “fifty great chiets of the fifty nnhle families under the leadership of Hiawatha. who framed that confederacy.” Mr. Horatio Hale writes: “Duringthe American “’aroflndependence, this confederacy, in the clash ‘of stronger forces, was for n time broken up. The government for which they fought gave them lands Along the Grand River, and here just a hundred years ago they re. established their league and rekindled its council fires. The laws and policy framed by Hiawatha. and his associates more than four centuries ago are still in force among thei ., descendaan in this district. In [his small domain the chiefs are still elected. The councils are stillconducted and the ciVii policy is decided as nearly in possible by the rules of their ancient league. Not many persons are aware that there exits in the heart of Canada this relic of the old- est constitutional government of America.

Very little' education is necessary to make an Indian a shrewd and judicious business man: he adapts himself quickly to trading. bargaining, investing. and the principles of interest. consequently he per- mits few opportunities of doubling his little possessions to slip by unheed- ed. As farmers the Iroquois are un- questionably successful. as seen from the fact that the grain markets of Brant- ford, the nearest town, are largely supplied from this reserve.

Referring again to Mr. Hale, we learn that “their extensive plantations of maize, beans. and pumpkins excited the admiration of the first explorers." This early tendency has devel- oped with years into a positive industry, and to-day the Grand River Indians are a peaceful, law-abiding, self supporting peo- ple, quick V0 adopt educational as well as agricultural advancement, and skillei in many branches of trade and handicraft. The religion of the Grand River Pagans has been quoted as the purest faith, the mast faultless worship, known amongst aborigines. They are Unitarians without a dread of their God. without revolting practices or repugnant sacrifice ; their God is not one whose wrath must be appensed or whose worship is exazting. He is the All-Good One, the “(TI-rest Spirit,"in whom they have an absolute and childlike faith as beautiful as it is touching. Many times during the seasons do they congregate at their place of worship, the “ Long House,” and in a. crude though orderly manner pwy tribute to the God whom they believe to he in the happy hunting grounds beyond the western skies. For days and days they dance, chant, and {east with tireless fiulel~ ity. At convplanting they dance to ask a blessing upon it; when it is ripe they dance a. thanksgiving‘ and this lutteris duplicated at strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry times.

These people are not Wild ; they live in the highest state ofcwilization that an extreme poverty can niord ; they dresa like Shep norer of white settlers. and are as law-abiding and diligent as their scant knowledge of civil and social advancement permits. Their standard of morality is much higher than that of whites in a similar station of life, and infinitely superior to that of border quarters, whose evil influenc» es, immoral characters, and degraded habits are the most serious stumblingâ€"blocks that the Indian. throughout America, is obliged to overcome before he can he brought to recognize any good in the race that teaches him first of all terrible and hitherto un- known vices, and then throws on top of this foundation of rottenness and depravity the fibres with which he is expected to weave himself a. tent of education and citi- zenship withina. generation. thingsâ€"grain, fruit, fowl, fish ; and then once annually, generally the first week in February or thereabouts (they set the time by some phase of the moon). the great sacrifice of the “White Dog" is burnt, when a member of a. noble Onondaga family actz as an ephemeral priest, and offers a. spotleys dog, which has been previously stranéled and decorated With wampum, paint, rib- bons, etc., as a. burnt thank-ozlering for the people.

The aggregate pnpuletion of this reserve is three thousand five hundred, out of which five hundred still cling to the religion of their forefathers. These are largely Onon- dagas, but a portion of the Cayngms and Senecus also adhere to the primitive wor- ship, and the ceremonies performed in cou- nection therewith are the most beautiful solemn aboriginal rites to be witnessed in Canada. :1 With wampum, paint, a a. burnt thank-oflering The ritual and ceremony t1â€"for days they dance :0me3 the sacrifice, burnt xsaociated with the most; . fish; and ihen the first week m (they set the time zener in 1869. although he was a mere lad, the Iroquois conferred upon him the highest and most ancient honor their race, and indeed the two Americas. can boastâ€"that, of chiefship. .. 1-. u. Supplememing this evidence of loyalty, these Indians have recruited a corps of militiamen and an exceedingly good mili- tary brass band. They hold annual drill, and in all probability. if the country re- quired their services, they would be among the first, to go into action. But a few years more and the ancient Iroquois will be a people of the past, and perhaps the most conclusive argument in lavor of civil izing the redmau is a. glance at the Six Nations of the Grand River. ’ Therv Ii Plenty of i'onzutod Population m lira“ fromâ€"We W'anl “on In People (bur I‘m-me.

In the old countries there is still plenty of congested population to draw from. But though there may be pressure to crowd people out, there is noth- ing to tempt them out. Peopleimmigrace not merely because they find it hard to make a living at home, but also because they are persuaded it will be easxer to make one abroad. The lot of the European or British toiler may be no better than it was two years ago, but he now doubts more than he did then whether he can better it by going to America. During the last year,at least, immigration aiorded no sure escape from hard times.

But though there may be Many Christian denominations are re presented throughout the reserve-31“? n1, ,, ,,)‘L Nor did the exodus consist of only return- ing newcomers. Many who had been in the States for years went back to their old homes. For a time the emigration from the United States exceeded the immigration to it. Those who were turned back by the more stringent enforcement of the immi- gration laws swelled the numbers of the returning exiles, whose accounts of the. de- pression supplemented that in the despalch- es. That put a damper on emigration. For the average European all the news about bad Limes in the United States included the whole continent. Hence our immigra tion fell of nearly as much as that of the United States. Considering that we hmd not more than enough employment for our own industrious population, it would seem that the decline in immigration was not an unmixed evil. An increase of mechanics would certainly have made matte-rs worse. We had already enough and to spare, for the wages that were going round. An increased immigration is dealralfle just now only if it adds to the consumers, not to the producers, of our manufactured products.

She was also committed to the county jail on a charge- made by Patrolman William Lord of as- sanlt and battery on the child. The neigh bors say that since the birth of her own baby eight months ago, she has been killing - Annie by inches. Mrs. Catherine Bon- temps, who lives in the same house at 149 Beech street. testified that Mrs. Vaniierbeck starved her Stepchild until Annie was forced to cat from ash barrels and pick crumbs from the floor, dropped there by the baby. Mrs. Buren. a. nurse, testified that Annie was black and blue from shoulders to feet, and that her stepmother struck her on the hand on one occasion be- cause she could not cut some wood and broke one of her fingers and the wrist. Another neighbor testified that Mrs. Ven- derbeck threw a. porcelain cuspidor at the child and struck her in the eye. cutting it severely. She said Annie had three black eyes in a month and still carried the marks oi the last blow. City physician Paton examined the child and found her body covered with bruises. He said that one of her fingers had been fractured and the wrist misplaced and neither had properly healed. Mrs. Vanderbeck said that the injuries were caused by falls and that a little Italian boy struck Annie. The father isa signalinan on the Erie Railway, and knew nothing about his wife‘s ill treatment of his child. Annie was given into the care of her mother's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Burnett of Ridgewood. Mr. Lauricr regretted that he could not agree with the resolution.

John Thompson moved the Rough inm committee on the resolucion respecting the judges of the supreme Court. He ex- plained that the scheme for the im- provement of the salaries of Lhe judiciary did not include the judges of the Supreme Court, It was believed than their position would be improved by making provision that some of them may retire on full salary instead of two thirds, provided they had served fifteen years and had reached seven- w years of age. This was the purport of the resolution. Mr. Gillies advocated the payment; of huge: salaries to the judges of the Supreme Court and also to the Ministers of the Gov- ernmenc. Mr. Mulmk deprecated the resolution, because ic was, in his opinion, a. discrimin- ating measure. Mr. Lagrier moved that the report be re- ceived {his day six months. Mr. Landerkin. on the item of $299,850 for Customs in Ontario. said he understood that Mr. Evans, harbour master at Port Hope, had smugg‘ned two bicycles in Can- adu last fall, and the matter had been brought to the attention of the department. He wished to know what the hon. Control. let of Customs had to say about it. Mr. Wallace said the matter had not been brought to his attention. but would be dealt. with 1n the regular manner if such a case existed. TEe resolution was adopted in committee and regorted to the House. The house Jivxded on the motion of Mr. Laugier, which was lost on a. vote 0(4'2 yea: and 51 Days. The House went into committee, and re- ported progress on the bill respecting the Inspection of Electric Light, and the ail] respecting the Utilization of the Waters of the NorthWVeeb Terribieors for Irrigation and other purposes.

The Water was then turned on. and kept running until the cellar was flooded. A burglar would thus be obliged to work in a diving suit. and break down a cement wall before he could even begin to plunder the vaults.
