THE 001:INTY teRINTING-
One Sensible American.
We .vis had occasion, recently, to bc
heartily ashamed of the fulsome laudation
by British Ministers and: British organs -of
the tardy anti -Fenian actian of President
Grant We should have liked these self -
complacent flatterers of useless presiden-
tial interference, after the Fenians had
erossed the frontier, to have stood in the
shoes of the horne-guard that had to fight
the ruffianly invaders. The fact is that
British journals -are waxing jubilant over
II proclamation the effect of which they
kaow nothing about. The following sen-
sible sentences from the New York Com-
mercial Advertiser show clearly that sober.
minded Americans do not consider their
President's action specially worthy, a
praise, even from their stand -point
"The London papers continue to empress
- their satisfaction with the course pursued
• by our government towards the Fenians.
Coming from such a quarter, the acknow-
tenement is more than. complimentary; but
we are snch a mode -at people, so apt to ap-
preciate our own blemishes, so little giteed
to egotism, so conscious of our own fanits,
and so willing to listen, particularly while
some foreign critic points them out, that

borders from all marauding expeditioais,
we should doubtless have 'confessed the
corn' with becoming humility- Let us
say, then (not to accept undue. praise)
what a, majority of the American people
think, that altheugh the administration
has done well in this matter, it might have
done better. No such disgraceful scenes

St. Paul, Minn., June 8.
Governor McTavish being asked his
views on the North- West affairs,gives them
as follows :-
"The Red River people are naturally
peaceful and orderly, rough but truthful,
and abhorring bloodshed. Bishop Tache,
who is cautious and far seeing, has much
influence among them -he is a man of
great abilities, which are almost thrown
away out there, although hedoes not know
it, and yet he may be the means of saving
his people ranch sufferieg by his advIce
and guidance. His constant effort is to •
wards conciliation, for he knows war would
destroy the Settlements. The discharge
of the duties of my position prevents me
expressing any opinion as to the future of
British America, and I don't desire to seek
publicity in the expression of my views.
The troops must build a road 2,s they ad-
s ance from Lake Superior to Fort Garry.
The route is -a nnserahle one, and the
troops cannot reach the Settlement before
mideummer. I have been much in contact
with Riel. Necessarily he always treated
me politely. He does not inspire one with
a high degree of respect. He is a man of
strong passions, but suspicious and cauti-
ous. If he believes mischief is brewing,he
speaks it out at once before it gets danger-
ous, and this gives him success. He is a
man'of nerve, and feels equal to the emer-
gency. He is ambitious of power and in-
fluence. He keeps a guard of 30 or 40
own at the Fort,rd he has provisions for
this number for bout a year. He has
several hundred more who support them-
selves, whom he can call upon in case ot
emergency."
A letter to the Press from Pembina says
that at the late meeting at White Horse
Plains, the buffalo hunters decided to re-
linquish the summer journey to the plains,

to resist the expedition. They express
their willingness to oppose the advance of

COMPARISON.
If we compare our Parliament .-e• ith the
Imperial Legislature, it must at once be
acknowledged that e are a few men in
the British Ilarliament, vileau we cannot
rival. We have nobody to place aide by
side with Gladstone, Bright, Hoee,
Disraeli, Lord Cairns and Roundel' Pal-
mer, though the distance between our ab-
leet men and some of those just mentioned
is not after all very great. But if we bee
our Parliament as a whole, and British
Parliament in the seine way, we shall have
no cause to blush when the comparison is
made. There are. many men both upstairs
and down in the British Parliament not
equal in general mental calibre to the bulk
of our own parliamentary men. There
are satisfactory reasons why it should be
SO. Many gentlemen get into the British
Parliament merely because they are
wealthy, well-connected, or are their
father's sons. Such considerations have
little to do with the choice of our Parli-
ametary personnel. We may deplore the
policy which our Parliament sometimes
supports, but we shall not on that account
depreciate its general ability. If we could
speak as well of all its recent performances
as ot its capacity, we should be greatly de-

South American Brigandage. •
A HORRIBLE STORY.
A horrible story of brigandagia reaches
us from Chili. Don Gomezy Lagoberon,a
famous bardit captain who, trom his fast-

fied the Chilian authorities, wat recently
pursued, with the brigands under. his com-
mand, by a body oftroops; which succeed-
ed in cutting him off fronahis followers,
and driving him to take refuge in a cavern
situated near the summit of one of the
lofty mountains constituting the above-
named range. In this cavern he had con -
omelet' a female captive, whose husband he
for some time compelled to live with him laying hands upon their swords,and others
had robbed and slain, and whom he had waving their handkerchiefs, and crying
out, 'Thou art worthy of the priesthood .1'

Applause in Church.
In the early christian church, and even
as late as the eighth century, it was usual,
during orations or sermons, for approba-
tion or the opposite to be expressed by
the listeners -somewhat like it is in our
public meetings. Bingham, writing on
this subject, Bays that sometimes they
added other indications of their applause,
such as clapping of hands, &c. Thus St.
Jerome tells Vigilantious that he himself
had formerly applauded him with his hands
and feet, leaping by his side and crying
out 'Orthodox !' Bingham adds, on the
authority of George of Alexandria„ that
the people applauded the sermons of St.
Chrysostom, some by tossing their gar-
ments others moving their plumes, others
PREPARATIONS FOR MOVING.
There is a great deal to be done before
the expedition can embark on the Sheban-
dowan, and it will require every effort on
the part of those taking part in the transit
service to enable the troops, or any of
them, to leave Fort Garry -as is proposed
-this winter. There are one hundred
and forty boats to be taken up the road,
the first instalment of which are now pre-
paring to start. I understand that there
are twenty long -reach waggons for them,
although I have not been able to find that
number here; but even with these auxilia-
ries I fear that more time. will be occupied
with the boats than mere mathematical
computation of boats and waggons would
show. The stores, too, will take much
time in transportation, and it will be a joy-
ful day„ indeed, when the last barrel is
put on board at Shebandowan.
The general impression is -though the
general impression is not always a correct
one -that net a company of the force will
come back by water this year; and if the
expedition winters in the North-West it is
particularly desirable that proper provision
be made for the men. The quantity of
provisions contracted for is only sufficient,
supposing a large part of the expedition to
return this year. There may be a difficul-
ty in getting provision at Red River, and
in addition to this, the men are entirely
unprovided with clothing that would be
essential for a winter at Winnipeg. They
have their great coats only, and these
would be nearly useless vihen in the best
condition, and entirely so after the camp-
ing service they will have seen by
November. With the exception of send-
ing the Ontario Volunteers away to work
in the mit with forage cape and tunics, the
authorities at Toronto have avoided those
blunders which usually characterize the
departure of an English expedition; Rini
aa the health and comfort of men who are
not in a position to aid themselves depends
altogether on the care and forethought of
those remaining behind, it is to be hoped
that the latter will bear in mind/the re-
spousibility that devolves upon them.
Chicora brought one large whale boat,fitted
with a small propeller. She will be very
useful on the lakes, and will do much to
expedite the passage if properly handled.
Colonel McNeil, who has been busily em-
ployed all morning in seeing boats safely
out cif the ship, will bring considerable
experience to aid in pushing forward the
embarkation of the troops. He accompanies
Colonel Wolsley up the road on Monday,
and on their return some more companies
will probably be ordered up. In the mean-
time every one is at work, and the dispos-
al of stores and the unladingof vessels goes
on quickly and cheerily.

ORIGIN OF ITS NAME.
Near the middle of one of die lakes, to
the northwest of Lake Superior, hie, sn,aall
island which the Indians stiun as haunted

proach much less land on it, for it is the
home of Manitoba -`the speaking God'
whose voice they hear nightly as they
camp by the lake or guide their fishing
boats over its surface. The 'voice' is no
myth. It assails not the Indian's ear
alone, but the white man's as well. Whence
comes it? The superstitions Ojibway hears
and keeps away, piously pronouncing the
name of God. The Englishman hears and
examines. Not the inqusitive instigator,
but the divinity of the place perishes by
the invasion. Touched by the wand of
natural science, the mystery of the place
is resolved into a simple natural phenome-
non- -the beating of the waves on a pecu-
liar natural shingle. Along the eerthern
shore of the island runs a hav cliff of com-
pact, fine-grained limestone, which cluicks
like steel under the stroke of the hammer.

in Assessments is still very great, more es-
pecially as relates to value, If Township
