bile air of the flocks of wild geese overhead,
on their way to their winter quarters, but
of human habitation you will sue but scant
signs. Your eye may scan many +square
miles around, and yet you may scarcely be
able to detect any indication of the fact
that the lords of this rich harvest land
are beginning to enter upon their inheri-
tance. Yet it is so. And if we had paid
our Western visit during harvest -time, we
should have seen some such sig,lits as you
see represented in the accompanying pic-
tures. When you are reading this, we
shall be hearing rejoiciug accouuts of the
bounteonmess of the harvest which fa' m-
ere in Manitoba and the Northwest have
been gatheriug in thie year without any
damage from the dreaded early frost. And
I shall be tryiug to grew wise as to the rea-
eons why the Manitoban black mud, which
lies from two to four feet in depth on the
surface of theemil, is so rich as to produce
magnificent crops without manure. Once
more, too, it will be impressed on eta that
the settlers who do best are those who
adapt themselves most to the methods of
farming found successful in the new coun-
try. For instance they must not plough
deep as they do aehome, but onlyabout two
inches, and then ti
they must put n a crop
at the first breaking, as this has been found
the best way of subduing the sod, besides
the advantage of yielding profit to the
farmer the first year, when his means
are not generally plentiful. This
sod is very hard to break at first,
but subsequent ploughings are easy. As we
went along, we found one and another of
our fellow -passengers quite willing to tell
us about all these things, and to explain the
reasons as to why ens, man fails and the
other succeeds. It was especially interest-
ing to us to COME; across young men, from
our own dietrict in Aberdeenshire, who
could speak in cheery tones of their past ex-
perience and their future prospects. One of
these, Mr. Well, from Methlick, who came
and chatted with us on our car for a bit,
had been working for a year or two on one
of the huge 10,000 acre farms, formed
originally by Sir John Lister -Kaye; when
we met him, he was about to buy a farm of
his own, and to bring to it as mistress an
Associate of the Radii° House Association.
So there is no fear of his not succeeding—is
there? For "Onward and Upward' will
be the motto in their house.
This young man's experience,and that of
others whom we met, points to the fact that
one of the best ways of getting on is for a
new comer to hire himself as laborer to a
good farmer for a year or two, so as not only
to,save up money for his start, hue also,
even if he have some capital, to learn the
ways of the country under practical guid-
ance. In looking to the future and to the
probability a the continuance of the rich
crops which have been obtained these last
few, years from Manitoba and the Northwest,
there is one encouraging feature which was
brought before as by a gentleman at Ottawa,
Mr. Hurlbert, who has prepared a series of
very interesting maps under the. sanction of
the Canadian Government. One of these
maps which we have reproduced Isere on a
sinalfscale, shows us that all over the world
there are regions where summer droughts
prevail, where ram talLs but rarely during
the period while the crops are growing and
requiring moisture. If you look at the map,
you will see that but a small part of this
region is included in the Dominion of
Canada, and this is a matter of no small fin-
porta,nce to intending settlers.
As we getfarther Wes; we begin to hear
about other sources of prosperity besides
wheat—we hear of the grass lands of
Alberta, and its openings for large ranches
for the breeding of horses ; we hear,
too, of coal .fields of such extent that
all past fears as to the fuel resources
of Canada have been set at rest. Then,
too, there is timber and large petroleum
deposits. But I cannot enlarge on these
things in this paper, nor will I describe to
you the young towns of this region:
.Regina the capital of the Northwest, where
too are the hea.deriarters of the smart red -
uniformed Canadian Mounted Pollee
Medicine Hat, a little town in a cavity,
surround by strongly indented hills, where
•we had the pleasure of inspecting a charm-
ingly -appointed hospital, erected through
the efforts of Mr. Nehloelc, one of the
C. P. R. Superintendents ; and Calgary, at
the foot of the Rockies where lives one
of our associates, who still takes pert in our
competitions, though so far away.
• If space had permitted 1 would have
wished to tell you something of the former'
masters of this country, the Indians, who
are diminishing in /lumbers, and will ere
king disappear. Their tents or "teepees"
are pitched in groups on the plains you pass
by, and miserable specimeus in dirty
squalid -colored blankets haunt the railway
stations, with the object of selling buffalo
horns, or batleets, or feather -work Their
babies, whom they call "-papooses," and
who are strapped to boards which their
mothers carry on their backs,, seem to be
model babies. You never hear one crying.
There they are, swathed up tightly on their
boards, and they appear to be equallte
unconcerned if they are riding on their
mothers' backs or are put down against
a wall, whilst their guardians are other-
wise occupied. But travelers who /NIBS
through these countries only by the railway
can know nothing of the lives and customs
of the true type of Indian. For knowledge
of these est ninst go to the hunter, theHud-
son Bay Company trader and the mission-
ary, and we must hunt records of the past,
which already have supplied material for
tales of thrilling adventure to the writers of
boys' books.
When the uropeans came to America,
all this vast region of which we have been
speaking, was only inhabited by various
tribes of Indians who lived almost entirely
on the proceeds of their fishing' and hunt-
ing. Gradually the white men came to re-
alize what a smite° of wealth existed in the
herds of fur -covered animals which roamed
over these endless plainsand mouritains,and
the skins of which could be obtained ;very
easily from the Indians for a few
beads, ornaments, ote better still, for mus-
kets when they had learned how to use
there, or for the spirit•s, which were to work
such havoc among the native races. And
in 1669 Prince Rupert formed a Company,
which was widowed by King Charles II.,
with " all countries which he within the
entrance of Hudson's Straits, in whatever
latitude they mybe BO far as not pOSSOBBea
by other Christian States." The new Com-
pany entered vigorously on its work, estab-
lishing central trading :stations throughout
their dornaM, formed of a few wooden huts,
and surrounded by palisades oe walls and
well -barred gates. These Were generally
near rivers, and to these the savages brought
their merchandise of skin, and feather, and
horns, at stated aeasone of the year. They
encamped before the fort, and a solemn
transaction of bartering and affectionate
apeeches took place, and on the re-
sults of this bartering the company grew
fabulously rich. A century later their

(From Onward and 'Upward for October.)
In the English itewepapers at last October
appeared telegraphic repot Is of a railway
acciderit west of Winnipeg, finishing up
with the statement that Lord and Lade

wonder what these of our members and
associates who hisepeiliel to notice the
statement thought of the doings of their
President while she was here beyond their
reach. Well, here is the tree, unvarnished
statement of the facia, ass written at the
tine:
" We started from Winnipeg soon after
six"and about eight we had just gone across'
. to the dining -ear and begun our dinner,
when there came a. sudden. tremendous
,serewing of the brakes, a series of jerks, an
abrupt transference of crockery and glass
from tables to floor, ad then the car was
raotionleaa, and ail was perfectly still.
People looked at one another for a moment
—the same unuttered thoeght passing

The engine is off the rails 1' A. rushed off
with °there to see what had really oecurred,
and we were a,anitzed to find how much
damage was done, when we remembered
the comparatively slight shock we had
felt. The engine was lyieg on its aide,
on the bank, all crimpled and torn,
the Mune' half into the ground and still
smoking away; the tender, upside down
across the rails, towered above the luggage.
van on its side. On the other side of the
line, one car half down the bank, and three
xnore off the rails, the three last ears, in-
duilhig the dining -ear and ours, were still
on the rails. No one could ascertain the
, cause of the accident, and for a fewminutes
there was great suspense as to whether
any orte was killed or injured. Marvel-
lously and mereifully no one was killed, and
the engine -driver, fireman and express
messenger wore' only somewhat cut and
bruised. The driver, had, with great
presence of mind, turned off steam, and put
on the brakes at the first jerk, and then
jumped off ; the fireman remained,
thinking, as he himself expressed it, that the
• engine would not go right over. It is won-
derful how he escaped, when the part of the
iengine where he was sittheg was all broken.
Ali in the darkness and by the light of a
lantern held by A., I tried to make a sketch
of the wreck, but it was so dark and driz-
zling that it was rather difficult work. It
all laoked very weird. The engine gave ono
the unpression of a great gasping living
thing, with its head buried in the earth,
atiU hissing and steaming in impotent
'misery, and to increase the mystery of the
scene, dark figures flitted about, here there
and everywhere with lanterns, and in the
near distance there loomed a great threat-
ening fiery eye, barring our way. This
Jotter apparition tamed mat to be the lights
of the engine of a freight train, which had
been waiting at the next station (Poplag
Point) till we should pasS, and now came
up to see what could he done. It
was pane 12 when we heard the
tinkling bell announcing the arrival
o f the wreck -train with break -down
gang' from Winnipeg, thirty-five miles
away, with superintendent, doetor and en-
gineer aboard. We, from our post of van-
tage at the end of the train, saw the lights
approach slowly and cautiously. A party
from our train were on the outlook for them,
and motioned them to proceed by swinging
a lantern backwards and forwards, but they
•crept up inch by inch,making sure of their
way as they came. Ad then all at once the
place was alive with groups of the new-
comers surrounding the remains of our
train, examining, enquiring, testing the
amount of damage done, and ere long set-
ting tie work with pickaa.xe and spade, to
remove the wrecks which lay across the
torn -up line. It was soon decided that the
quickest method was to construct a tempo-
rary new line for the few hundred yards or
so whichhad been destroyed, and while this
was being done theuninjuredonswere being
pulled bite,k to Raeburn, the first station
back.
It M wonderful how such accidents do not
occur ofteneron dark nights, when the train
is passing along such long stretches of un-
fenced land, over which (tattle roam at their
own free will. As it happened, there were
fences on either side of the line at this par-
ticular spot, so the cattle must have strayed
in by an open gate, and Were doubtless
lying on the track because of its compara-
tive dryness after the deluge of rain which
had been coming down. You will notice
in the illustration of the fallen engine
the ironpointed contrivance in front in-
vented on purpose to guard against such
accidents. It is called the "cow -catcher,"
and is intended to. sweep any animal off the
line who may be bout on self-destruction.
Our accident, however, proves that it is not
always successful in its ,purpose, but I
shonld add thee accidents on the C. P. R.
have hitherto happily been exceedingly
rare, owing to the constant and vigilant care
of those in charge of the line, and who
arrange perpetufel: supervision of every part
of the track, so that all possible danger may
be., averted.

Those days are over now. In 1869 the
00V -eminent took over the domain a of the
Duclson Bay Conipany for £300,000, and
certain eau& round the trading stations,
and from that time the era of the Indian
was over. They cannot stand before the
forces of civilization, and they are doomed
to give way to those who have entered
on their predestined work of cultivat-
iug the laud and building cities,
thus multiplying the population and
replenishing he earth. Meanwhile, the
iniesiouaries havelbeen busy. The authori-
ties of the Beldson Bay Company always
encouraged their efforts, and did much for
them by forbidding the use of spirits at
their stations, and in later times the
Government has endeavored to exercise a
paternal care over these perishiag tribes,
gathering them into reeervee,trying to teach
them cultivation, educating their children,
granting gifts and pensions, and in doing all
in their power to promote the seccess of
the mission, But of heroic work of these
missionaries, and of what they have been
able to accomplish, we must tell you some
other time, if you will not tire of the sub-
ject. And of the American Indians, as
they now are, we hope very soon to be able
to give you some exquisitely -done drawings

Einsbauds• Privileges.
A New York Magistrate, in lately dis-
missing a suit for divorce brought by a wife
who complained that her husband had called
her out of her name, took occasion to
remark, in explanation of his action, that
" good husbands even sometimes swear at
their wives." The judicial announcement
that a husband may demean himself in his
parts of speech like a Jack the Ripper
without detriment to his standing as a good
husband before the law opens up some
rather delicate legal and moral questions. If
a good husband may do this " sometimes,"
the interesting question arises : How many
times? At what precise number of ex-
pletives does the excess of virtue become a
vice and an offence in law.
• In less progressive days than these a
somewhat different standard of good hus-
bandry preveiled. It was even held in
primitive times that the good husband was
he who felt it to be especially his duty,
when things went wrong about the house or
with his meals, to moderato the tones of his
voice ; to speak soft answers, and to assume
a sunny smile. lie was, in truth, esteemed
a model spouse who, upon finding that some
favorite garment—for instance, a coat only
half Worn out, which he had hung securely
in the darkest •corner of the closet for a
third "season's wear—had been transmuted
by the process of free trade into a pair of
angel statutettee for the front parlor, should
stifle the sentiments raging within him and
mask his personal feelings by imitating the
facial expression of his new art treasures.
The new dispensation leaves the husband
legally free to say more than his prayers ;
in short, to take on like an arnay itt
Flanders, provided he only does it some-
times—that is to say, not in an incessant
stream. Happily for the interests of
domestic tranquility and good morals there
is a higher law than that expounded by the
magistracy; and while the Decalog,ue's,
place in. politics may be somewhat hazy in
the minds of many men, few • of them will
have the hardihood to assert that it is not
a binding force in matrimony. If at times
the force may seem to be relaxed, it is not
a difficult assumption that it is rather from
want of thought than from want of heart.

A DEADLY; CANE.
The Novel Weapon A Ciriatinata Detective
Carries,
Detective John T. Norris is in the city,
and as usual, has a new firearm to display.
Detective Norris has a hobby of collecting
odd weapons of various kinds, but his latest
acquisition is probably the most formidable
of his whole collection. It is a cane of
about three feet two inches long and seem-
ingly harmless. It has a rather long steel -
pointed ferrule, which, when the oane is
used in walking, keeps its owner from
slipping, but when he is cornered by a
crowd it can be turned to use as a bayonet.
The cane, with this exception, shows no
signs of being the dangerous weapon it is.
By a siinple device ehe long steel ferrule can
be loosened in a second and in its place ap-
pears the barrel of a, 32 -calibre gun. An-
other secend suffices to pull back the handle
of the cane and the weapon i(3 cocked and
loaded. The detective can kill a sparrow
off the top of the tallest telegraph pole or
hit his man a square away with this little
Winchester. If the first load doesn't bring
him there are five more cartridges in the
handle which can be fired with lightning -
like rapidity. The hannner and trigger are
just at the beginning of the curve in the
handle of the cane. The whole barrel of the
gun and the curved handle as well are
covered with thousands of feet of plaited
fish lines, the work of Evan Jones, a watch-
man of the snag -boat C. S. Senter, which

Cincinnati Enquire-.
Why Seine Men Are Bachelors.
In other words, why are some men una,ble
to find a woman to love? There are many
reasons.
One given by a prominent New York
bachelor was that "he didn't go out in
ladies' society enough to select any particu-
lar one."
And then, perhaps, the like and dislike is
on the other side. Perhaps he isof ajealous,
selfish disposition and shows it; or perhaps
he has some traits which are not the best in
the world. The girls are not slow to see
into these—ah, no !
As one young girl said lately; "It is all
over between Jacques and me ; we have said -
good -by. I can never marry a jealous man
—never !"
And the same silly quarrel often separ-
ates a young man and Ms sweetheart. Both
are too proud to give in, and though they
love each other desperately, they will, for
want of one little word, separate for life.
Many a man in this case has readied his
grave unmarried and unloved, being at the
same time almost too worldly to admit it.
• Thus, whenever you see a gay, handsome
bachelor who never bothers to turn his head
ever so little toward the fair sex, do not
condemn him, dear girls, but just think a
little, and may be you will be able to cameo
him.

Mrs. Parnell is a woman of intellece and
refinement, and comes of the bluest English
blood. Her brother, Sir Evelyn Wood, is
one of the best generals in the British army
and, after Lord Wolseley and Sir Frederick
Roberts, who are both Irishmen, next in
the line of promotion for commander-in-
chief. Mrs. O'Shea is handsome, with a
pearly white skin, a wealth of golden hair,
and a graceful and voluptuous figure. She
has a fascinating manner, • and is charming
m conversation, with cultivated literary
tastes and a man's knowledge of politics.
The breath of suspicion had neve/ touched
her until she met Parnell. She started in
to help him politically and ended by be-
coming infatuated with him. The fascination
was mutual.
O'Shea is the son of a Limerick attorney,
who left him a large fortune, which he
squandered in horse -racing and gambling.
He was an officer in a crack cavalry regi-
ment, a dashing, lady -killing fellow with a
good figure and attractive manners. He
married Kitty Wood when she was in her
teens, but the pleasures of the mess room
and the race course had more attractive.
ness for him than home. When he lost his
money he left the army and lived on his
wife's, spending it freely on wine, women
and horses. Ile often remained months
away from home, and utterly neglected his
wife.
Getting into Parliament for county Clare,
through the influence of the C,atholie
bishops, 'he foisted -himself on Parnell
through his wife's entreaties and pro-
ceecled ta earn a good Government berth
by making himself usgul. He closed his
eyes to what everybouWknew, and finally
only acted from mercenary motives. He
is the most thoroughly despised cad in
London to -clay. Under ordinary circum-
stances and with a man for a husband Ms.
O'Shea would have made a good wife.
"Smart has married Miss Dasher."
I heard so : it seems to me a rash
experiment." " Why so ?" "He's a self-
made inan and she's a tailor-made girl, and
it is doubtful if such a combination will
work well together."

Is a dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. It should
not be allowed to continue, as in its
debility the system is especially liable
to serious attacks of illness. It is re-
markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa-
parilla is in this enervating state. Pos-
sessing just those elements which the
system needs and readily seizes, this
medicine purifies the blood, and im-
parts a feeling of strength and self-con-
fidence. Hood's Sarsaparillais the best
remedy for that weakness which pre-
vails at change of season, climate or life.

"1 believe it is to the use of Hood's
Sarsaparilla that I owe my present
health. In the spring, I got so com-
pletely run down I could not eat or
sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of
rife seemed to have a mortgage on my
system. I was obliged to abandon my
work, and after seeking medical treat-
ment and spending over $so for different
preparations, I found myself no better.
Then my wife persuaded me to try a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before
the first bottle was gone I began to
amend. I have now used two bottles
and have gained 22 pounds. Can eat
anything without it hurting me; my
dyspepsia and biliousness have gone.
I never felt better in my life." W. V.
