A number whose names are not mentioned in the above list might have made better marks could they have attended more regularly. • _ A Vigorous Representative. Mr. Jackson, a leading member of the Northwest Council, was recently en- rtained at a banquet at Qu'Appelle by his friends there. It is still contended, ty some that the half-breeds and In- dians of the Northwest had no grievt maces and that they were not in any ense justified in going into rebellion., It will be seen by the remarks made by Mr. Jackson, that this is not his view of the case, and he certainly has the very best opportunities. of knowing, while he cannot be rated as a- partisan witness. Jackson strongly condemned the action of Iiieutenant-Governor Dewdney in not pressing upon the Government, whose representative he is, the griev- ances of which the people complained and forcing thern to recognize and remedy them. He further produced resolution after resolution which had been passed by the Northwest Council, directing the attention of the Govern- ment ta these grievance's, and they all went unheeded until the rebellion broke out. But we leave Mr. Jackson to apeak for himself, and we are sorry our space forbids our copying more of Iiia vigorous address. He is evidently an able Mall, who knows whereof he aks and is not afraid to speak out. e says : "I say that if such grievances had ex- isted among the white people of country as amongst the half-breeds, a much louder howl would have been heard front them:- I do not hold that the half-breeds were entitled to resort to arras, they should have used constitu- tional means only; but if you had had the same grievances of rights ignored for fifteen e -ears, as the Metis population had in the Northwest Territories, I question whether you would have borne em half as meekty. [Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, just let me here say this :—Any remarks I may have to make, in discussion or otherwise, as to the want of action, to the Dominion Geverument, I make as an independent man. (Hear'hear.), I think the ma- jority of you know. that I have all my lifetime held with the Conservative party. (Hear, hear.) And tonight, while I may have occasion to condemn the inaction of the Dominion Govern- ment in dealing with this great and im- portant question, I stand before you and say I am as good a Conservative as ex - fats in'the Conservative party. (Cheers.) You know, gentlemen, there are certain men in the west who would like very much to say that I had recanted, jump- ed the fence, gone over. There is just as much sense in that as in a great deal of the nonsense they talk at other times. I hold this --that whether it be the Con- aervative party, the Tory, the Grit, or the Reform party, no one of them have aright to make a platform which does not meet the wants and requirements af the people. (Cheers.) We do not be- lieve in the Divine right of kings. We won't acknowledge that for a moment. the party must be for the people and meet the requirements of the people or a is not the people's party. (Hear, hear.) I have had every opportunity Of talking over political questions with ministers. of the Government, and Ihave said to them; -Unless you make your platform—the platfotm of the Conserva- tive party—broad; enough, liberal enough, strong and deep enough to meet the requiremente of the people of the Northwest Territories, we cannot stand. with you.' (Hear, hear.)" Again, in referring to the treatment of the Indians, after quoting the remarks of Father Scallon, Mr, Jackson said: "Now, here is the opinion of a man who, if anything, is in favor of the In- dian officers, himself an employe of the Indian Department. He says that the :11dians had cause for rising; that they determined to rise at the very first op- portunity. It was not the half-breeds ;that urged them; but they rose in re- bellion because they, had not been prop- erly treated by the 'Government agents, amcl the treaty obligationbad not been .faithfuily carried out. That has, been contention all along. and the facts 11 bear out the theory. The Indians were a dissatisfied connnunity, and in the half-breed rising they saw the op- portunity of striking at the Government, the author of all the mischief done them. Now, I charge that at Indian Head, in the winter of 1883, several of the Indians died of starvation. (Cries of "Shame.") Well, the Lieutenant - Governor, in his reply to me, refeiredto a report. I said I could prove it by an officer of the Indian Department. You limow I have been taken to task becitese iit this matter I used private conversa- tion in a public manner. Now, shall I tell you what that private conversation wee? The statement was made by Dr. Edwards before myself and six others, and there are, I believe, twenty men in this andience who have heard the thing front Dr. Edwards himself. * * Mr. Dewdney said there was so much pro- visions at Indian Head. I know they were there; but his fiat had gone forth not to feed them so much; that Pi -a. - Pot wa.s a bad piece of muslin, and that they must cut clown the rations. And now, instead of five dying, it is a mat- ter of my own knowledge—a matter I can prove on oath—that, instead of five dying there, ten per cent. of • all the In- dians on the Indian Head reserve died _ threugh starvation in six months (that fa, 20 per cent. per annum); and I have a from no less high authority than a man who is as well qualified to tell the truth as Dr. Edwards or Mr. Dewdney, that Indians on that reserve pla.ced the dead bodies around in trees until it re- eembled crows' nests in a rookery, and I am advised and believe that Mr. Dewd- ney had a private report of the true state of affairs; and more, he was told that if that state of things continued, for humanity's sake it shoukl be made known to the Government. That was the stone of the wards of the Govern- ment whom we pledge ourselves to look after, for the support ofiwhom the pub - lib funds had been devoted (some 11. $1, ,000 had been voted to support thein) and I say that he who promised to sn port and protect and look after these -people, and who allowed them to starve, as a dog would not be allowed to starve, ought tobe condemne both by the people of this country an ada. (Loud cheers.) When i such a result that 20 per cent.' people were allowed to die of and Want, that mn an 'cannot t strong a condemnation." ,( prolonged cheers.) "Public Sentiment" in the School Room! One of the worst cases in every school is thepupil who is over-anxious to make lay, to show off at every occasion, every look and mov ent seem : "i' Look at. e. See What I do. is not that about the thing ?", He is ever saying or ding somethring to at- tract attention.- He is usually tick-nem- rty." • of Out- comes to It was literally skinnedOut of existence. Men wanted its hide to use: in tanning leather, and did not ret till it left them for ever. , HemloCk timber was not con- sidered valuable while anything else was handy, hence most of these trees rotted where they fell, While the bark travel- ed to tome of the big tanneries in Maine and Massachusetts.

That is the most painful . You show that such ponduct is able in the eyes of the school, and he sees that his deeds are con- demned by the school, he will soon cease' to practice them. If there is a sentiment against the teacher among a large number in the school, this pupil becomes the teacher's greatest annoy- ance. He will go just as far its he can, even if he is punished for it, because then he receives the greater applause from his fellow -scholars, and this causes him to bear the punishment gladly. The teach ity w sup r should keep the greater major- th him alweys. If he loses their rt his power is gone. Public senti- ment in school, an everywhere else, is a great force. Two evils we have noticed in Canadi- an families. There is a considerable though probably decreasingnumber of parents who, following English training of traditions are accustomed to give the boys of the family precedence over the girls on all occasions. The bay is treat- ed as the future lord of the household, whose whims are to be consulted on all occasions. In other and still more num- erous families the order is Precisely re -- versed. The boys are the inferiors and are taught to wait upon thir Sisters, to defer to their wishes and to yield to them the best of everything. Both practices are injurious, especially to the favored sex. The arrogance and domi- neering spirit of many a disagreeable man,' and the intense selfishness of many an exacting woman, may be traced to these respective faults in home train- ing. . Bu dette's Opinion of 'Curling. Bc who Itroc whi saw alion b Burdette, the Ainerican humorist, was in Toronto lately, writes tothe klyn Eagle a very amusing letter, in h he describes some things which he there. Here is what he has to say t curling : I Ve went to ,the Granite rink and watehed the curlers. Curling is a game that will probably never become a gen- eral ,or popular sport. Thelmaddening excitement attendant upon this thrilling pastime, which' seems to be its great fas- cination, debars any except, the strong- est heads and steadiest nerves from ven- Wring into the seething mads trom of its retkless gaiety. It is called curling because it makes your hair curl to watch it. A man takesm boulder �f polished i v gra ite with a handle to it, and pushes it s ay from him., Then it elides along on the track. Two men with brooms walk along in front of it ,and sweep a clean place for it to slide to. Another mat at i ger pan gua of 'mon." The tie4 a stifle abou hinj through a ho ut then, norm says,.

A stran- ger inter-meddleth not with the joy of the curler. The barbarian an never be taught to understand it, and so his life must ever remain incomplete. And even an alien can see that it is more of a game than chess. I hold it to be a sol- emn, self-evident, heaven -born truth, that a man who will pia Y chess for amusement would saw a eord of wood for a joke. ' • The Fate of Our Forests.

Others claim that a allon of good heavy syrup will yield om five to seven pounds of sugar, with -t--after the sugar is ejetracted—a valu- ble syrup left. With eane not over two -ni es from the mill t is estimated the s rup will: not cost ctirer 20 cents per allon, including production and all ex- pense and an acre well cultivated will bre 840 pounds of sugar and about 85 allons of syrup. . ! The production itf real sugar will de- pend not only on the season but on the nature of the soil as well. Stronghumus or muck soils are not adapted to the pro- duction of sugar and the syrup will dark. A good wheat soil or a good fruit soil will be indicated; in successful sor- ghum culture, and if gaudy so much the ;. ettne It would not be good advice in view of the present corn prices to favor the buy- ing of machinery for the production of sugar, but for those having the machin- ery, especially on soils that have proved themselves adapted to the production of sugar, it would hardly be policy to suffer the machinery to go t� waste. A parallel ease is the depression' of the wool indus- try. Many sheep -growers have gone out of the business and sold their flocks at sacrifice or kilted the flocks for the esh and pelts. Yet those who have ushed out of sheep because the price of ool is low may get the experience of ction and reaction—the action of selling ut low and the reaction of buying in high.—Chicago Tribline. • ___„; • THE TORONT The spruce is ,a hardworking, honest tree. It may not possess ; ;the grandeur of the Pine, nor the soaringicrown of the hemlock ; but the gum willoritchew caou- chouc, and is deservedly popular in Bos- ton, female colleges, and other select lodalities. The spruce is Meeting last of all the doom of its evergreen fellows. In Maine- and New HamPshire and in the Canadian Provinces, the axe of the logger is eating its way itteadily and without mercy into the Iheart of the spruce country, and too Soon will the place thereof know it no more. Thus went the pine, though, when the latter reigned, the spruce grew en unharmed, for loggers deemed it .an lignoble tree, good enough to raise cheiting gum, but unworthy,of further, usage. So they went for the pine alone, and hewed it down, as if the world stood watching until each. lake and stream grew weary with the burden of murdered trees. If Catarrh—a New Treatment. Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malaarly; This is none the less startling when it is remembered that no five per cent of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while tbe patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is due to the presence of living- parasites in the tisane, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure tO 'their extermination— ehis accomplished, he clai us the Catarrh is prac- tically cured, and the peii»anencY is unquestion- td, as cures effected by h m four years ago are cures still. No one else ias ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this nianner, and no other treat. ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application 'of the remedy is simple, and can' be done at home, and the present season ef the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure, the majority of cases being ,cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H.
