and the Police settled down to their new
and ever-increasing duties as a permanent
garrison. .All seemed to be going well for
ree years, and then ceme " the psyehol-
oglaal moment in the history of the North-
west,
Had the warnings of the Police been heed-
ed. the rebellion of the half-breeds under
Louis Riel would have been impossible.
The actual outbreak found theist ready, but
though the strength at the northern posts
had been inoreased to 200, all deaisivo eaten
depended on orders from Ottawa, 2,000
Miles away, At a day's notice Colonel

'21 miles in seven dive in the depth of a

the distriot held by the insurgents, cut-

all the posts undoubtedly olteoked a general
rising of the Ludhiana Ab ,Macleod in par-
ticular, the taet. and persomai influence of
the offloer in command, Major Cotton
aided by the swine qualities in his
former chief, Colonel Macleod„ and
backed ap by the admirable conduct of the
rank and file, kept the Bla,okfeet, Bloods,
and Piegaus from disregardingthe loyal
counsels of old Crowfoot and joining Biel.
Had they done so, every Indian in the ter-
ritories would have rlsen,their Mende from
across the border would have joined thein,
and there would have been massacre and
raping throughout the whole hole N'oithwest.
Immediately after the outbreak the
strength of the Police was inereaeed to
1,000, their present, number. Iti 1880 -Col-
onel Irvine resigned, and was succeeded by
the present commandant,Colonel Law-
rence Herohmer. And now it is time to
say something of the composition and rou-
ene work of the force.
he Northwesb Mounted Police, like
the R yal Irish Constabulary, on which
it was modelled, is, in the eye of the
law, a purely civil body; its officers are
magistrates, the men are constables.

its organization, internal economy, and
drill are those of a cavalry regiment,
and when on active service in a mili-
tary capacity, the off vers have army
rank. The Queen's Regulations do not
apply to it,liowever, and discipline as strict
as in the army, is enforced under a concise
and comprehensive enactment which pro-
vides a maximum penalty of a year's im-
prisonment and a flue of one month's pay,
leaving it to the discretion of the officers
to make the punishment fit the crime.
Even the same °. 0.'s views naturally very,
and if this provieonwere made a little more
definite so that the defaulter, whose mili-
tary "crime" consists in buttons insuf-
ficiently burnished, or in miscalculation of
the time available to see his sweetheart
home before "last post" sounds, might
meet a more uniform fate, a grievance would
bo removed.
Tile affairs of the force are managed by a
distinct department of the government at
Ottawa, under the political sapervisicn of
one of the Cabinet Ministers, at present the
President of the Privy Council. Mr. Fred-
erick White, formerly Sir John Macdonald's
Secretary, has for many years been the

were occupied in organizing the defences of
Prince Albert, and before daybreak Colonel
Irvine, hoping to quash the rising by a
prompt and decided movement, was on the
way to reintorce Fort Carlton, Unfortun-
ately, that very day ;Major Crozier had
sent out a party to secure provisions and
Iammunition at Duck Lake from falling into
I the insurgents' hands. Resistance was
made, and he went out himself, with, all
told, 00 Police and Prince Albert volun-
teers, and fell into a trap skilfully planned
by the rebels whom he had no reason to
think were in force. They were between
3+00 and 400 strong, however, and almost
surrounded him. C'rozier's men made a
splendid 'stand, though fighting in deep
su•w which made their one field -gun almost
ss, and with no better cover than
sleighs, while the enemy were con -
in. thick bush. After losing 12
d and 12 wounded they retired as
adily and coolly as they had fought
inging off their wounded and the
un, and got back to Fort Carlton just
as Colonel Irvine arrived there. It was
the oi'y cheek the Police have ever experi-
enced.
That they would have retrieved the situa-
tion by then selves no one who knows them
has ever bled. flub they never had a
free band. eueral Middleton, the Imperi-
al officer in mmnd of the Canada militia,
was on i; ,way to Winnipeg to direct a
campaign ; t ey were already placed under
• his orders and "the ceremonies of the wars
moat be kept."
•'" What are the Police doing?" was the
question on every lip for anxious weeks.:
Their enforced inaction, and the consequent
lose of prestige that had so often enabled a
handful of troopers to disperse hundreds
of armed warriors, emboldened whole bands
of Indians, to join the insurgents and heart-
ened them to a determined resistance that
cos , many heave lives to oseroome. All
t .was soon known; but until the inner
iistory of that sharp little campaign is
written the injustice and misrepresentation
will not 'be revealed which they were made
to bear that others might'" make sure of
reaping all the glory and reward. It is
impossible even to outline here the events
of 1885. The records and the, graves on the
prairie tell what the police did whenever
and wherever they got their chance. Their
indispensable 'and invaluable aid has been
fijankly acknowledged by commanders in.

Controller of the department, its permanent
civil head. The executive command is held
by an officer styled tho Commissioner, and
rauking as lieutenant -colonel. The Assis-
tant -Commissioner ranks with a major, and
after three years' service with a lieutenant -
colonel. Ten Saperintendents, with amp -
tale's rank, command the divisions, with
about thirty-five Inspectors as sub-
alterns, who correspond to lieutenants.
Paymaster's and quartermaster's duties
are done by the oflieers of each divisi n,
and the Superintendent, of the depot divis-
ion acts as regimental adjutant; an inspect-
or performing similar duty for each of the
individual divisions. The medical staff
consists of a Surgeon, five assistant -Sur-
geons and . two Veterinary Surgeons, the
small number of the latter being supple-
mented by veterinary stafP.sergeants. The
non-commissioned officers are, as in the
army, sergeant -majors, staff -sergeants of
various sorts, sergeants, and corporals,
while the troopers are called constables.
The officers' pay is not large. The Com-
missioner receives $2,400 ; the Assistant -
Commissioner, $1,500 ; the Superintendents
and Surgeon, $1,400; the Inspector $1,000
ayear, with, of course, free quarters, ra-
tions, light, fuel, and forage. But promo-
tion is very slow, and these are the rates of
twenty years ago when the force was small,
the duties far less numerous and exacting,
and the life far more attractive. The men,
however, are well paid, and without the
vexations deductions which in the army
reduce Tommy Atkins's pocket -money
to a mere pittance. The non-commis-
sioned eaters get from a dollar to a dollar
and a half a day ; the constables fifty cents
with an addition of five cents when em-
ployed as clerks or artificers. Both officers
and men are provided with liberal pensions
graded according to length of service, and
attainable after ten years. Rationsare of
exeelient quality and large quantity, and
can be supplemented very cheaply with
little luxuries from the canteen': which is
now a feature of every division pont. At
most places, especially in the north, there.
is a fair supply of small game in the season.

more numerous than nowadays, and many

who 1, ,d last met at the mess -table of some
creek regiment, in a swell Londou Cittb, or
an English country -house. The term of en-
listment is five years, but many of the men
" take on" again, especially since the es-
tablishmeut of the pension system. Dis-
charge may be obtained by purchase, but
the small number allowed to avail them-
selves of this privilege, only three a month,.
and the long delay in getting a release-
often useless unless available at once—
constitute a serious grievance and an easily
suppressible cause of desertion. Hardships
and monotony, espeoitilly to those unused
to work and discipline,proximity to the
border, the inducements of high wages in
civilim life, and dread of punishment for
some offence--unpremediated perhaps and
trivial enough in anyone but a soldier—
frequently make deserters. But they are
usually a good riddance to their comrades,
whose good record is not spoiled by the in-
evitable black sheep.

to head -quarters for training. His life
there is that of a cavalry soldier ail the

Meth of the peculiarities of the Western
broncho, After a trial of Mounted Infantry
drill, the force has returned to the regular
cavalry system, in the simpler Tnovement.s
of which ib is thoroughly exercised, and
field -artillery drill has also to be learned.
Rifle and revolver practice, mounted and
dismounted,and instruction in police duties
complete the professional training. There
is plenty to do in the way of parades,
stables, guard mounting, orderly duty,
escorts, and "fatigues:" He also learns to
drive a transport waggon and buckboard—
two vehicles oonstantly in use for prairie
travel—so that merely as a soldier he has
to master the work of all arms of the ser-
vice, besides those of a police constable.
The uniform is very like that of an Eng•
lisp dragoon, the full dress consisting of
scarlet tunic braided with yellow,dark blue
breeches with a broad yellow stripe down
the side, riding -boots and spurs faultlessly
polished, and white helmet with glittering
brass spike. In undress, with his tight -fit•
ting jacket, round forage -cap perched on
three hairs, and silver -mounted whip, as he
swaggers down the street of some little
Northwestern town, there is not a crack
cavalry regiment in Her Majesty's service
that can show a smarter trooper. Only the
officers and sergeants wear swords ; the
rank and file are armed with Winchester
carbines and Enfield revolvers, the cart-
ridges for which are carried in brot ?i
leather bandoleers and waist -belts. The

found for the old-time buffalo coat, which
is now as scarce and valuable as one of its
original wearers. Drink clothing is provid-
edfor the not less trying summer heat, and
stout pea -jackets for spring and autumn.
On patrol and at the outposts the cowboy's
comfortable felt hat is a frequent substitute
for the stiff helmet and shadeless forage cap.
Experienced officers advocate a "prairie
suit" of neutral color, keeping the present
uniform for parade use ; and now that the
red -coat has served its purpose so effectually
it might well snake way for the more suit-
able working dress.
The Depot Division and another of the
ten into which the force is divided, about
two hundred strong, are stationed at head-
quarters, three miles from Regina, and
form a little prairie town of themselves on
the banks of the 1Vascana. The English
of this euphonious name, which hardly
compensates for absence of water in sum-
mer and intense muddiness at all seasons,
is Pile -of -Bones Creek, so called from
the stacks of buffalo bones once upon a
time stored there to be carried away by
rail and converted into fertilizers, so that
Eastern cattle -in their turn might benefit
by the elements of the rich prairie. grasses.
The barracks, a number of wooden build-
ings—many of them merely portable hoases
--grouped round a prairie -ground, do not
make an imposing display of architecture.
On one side the officers' quarters form a
row of detached. cottages ; barrack -rooms,
sergeants' quarters, orderly -room, guard..
house, prison, canteen,recreation-rooms,
stables, and store -houses complete the
square, and the Union Jack flies -from a
flagstaff over all. Outside are the hospital,
more storehouses, a fine riding•school, and;
a. small cluster of married men's quarters,'
but wedlock is an institution not favored
by the authorities. All round is the open
prairie, reaching to the horizon in long'un-
dulations unbroken except by Government
House near by, the distant roofs of Regina,
and'tho straight line of the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway to the north. The aspect is
peculiarly bare, even in summer when the
tough clay soil, in which trees will not
grow, yields its abundant harvest of
wheat.

they are through such an extent of country,

is nineteen knots an hour, and, according
to the London Queen, this can be increased
to over twenty knots in the hour. The
Eohenzollern has two wheels, one ab the

She has three masts and two funnels, paint-

crown on the prow, and the Hohenzollern
coat of arms in black and silver, surround-
ed by a laurel wreath, on the stern. The
deck is covered with linoleum, and over a

The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of
the Last One Hundred Years.

�.a
It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Mkt
This wonderful Norville Tonic has only recently been introduced
into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great
South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative ``\\
agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians,
who have not brought its eras and value to the knowledge dge
of the
general public.
This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is
also of the greatest -value in the cure of all forms of failing health frrnn
whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities
which. it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive
organa, the, stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares
with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength-
ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in
the treatment and cure of diseases;$ the lungs than any coaasumption
remedy ever used on this continent. Jt is a marvelous cure for nerv-
ousness of females of all Ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical
period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine
Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three .years. It will
carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and cura-
tive is of inestimable value to the aged. and infirm, because its great
energizing properties will give them a new hold on life, It will aUtj ten
or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen
bottles of the remedy each year.

the power by which, the vital forces of the body aro carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary, toirepair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the

for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
