The Canadian Senate Committee, has |usb reported against the divorce, Bill’for the relief of Charles Smith, of CampbeRford, Ontario, p, miller. He and his.wifd are equally anxious iq be relieved fretn each other. They made some remarkable at tempts to obtain relief before apply ing ty the Senate. The wife went to the State of Michigan, where she was told -she could use a room-’ and leave any articles of clothing there and it would be the same as if she lived there. The lady took up her “residence” in Michigan by renting a room there and leaving a trunk in it*l while she' retnrned to Ontario tq hunt up evidence.’ Divorcein Mich igan was found to be too expensive, and finally the following remarkable document was signed by husband arfd wifeand a witness :— I, Charles Sinitli<6f Warkwortb, miller by trade, do certify that having married* Mahaly Alwilda, widow ef the lute Henry Zufelt, and finding the said Mahaly “Alwtlda to be an unsuitable companion to,, enjoy life with, and being ‘separated from-, said Mahaly Alwikla as ’iny wife I hereby pledge my Word and honor to never molest ,pr control or take any steps against her ways or proceedings in any way whatever in the event of her marrying again or what ever the said Mahaly Alwildachooses to do I Charles Smith'will also drop her name -as 'Mrs.-S tm tlrr—-- y ----------------- - —- It is-curious to note the following opinion of the English people ex pressed by a Soudan ruler 500 year ago,.as-described by Sir John Aland- -vi| 1 nravhpAvas-in—that, counfry-in 1355. Many will probably hold that the old chronicler’s quaint de scription would be applicable at the present day.

'' * • ^Tis easy to-understand that the mat ter was one which it was simply im possible to settle promptly. The half-breeds, if left to them selves,wouldneve* have--resistecnhe authorities. And if they had the disposition, they lacked tho means, for they had no weapons. A few shot guns constituted the whole of their artillery. They are simple, peaceable people,whose wealth consists of a few cattle, who raise barely enough grain and vegetables fo^ their own con- sumption, and who are too poor to indulge in such expensive luxuries as Remington, rifles. But they have been stirred up by agitators to think • that their farms would be taken from them; they have been told by the so- all called farmers’ unions that they aiid the othe> settlers were oppressed by the Dominion government; they have been told that the surveyors wljo were preparing the means • to’ give them their .titles were actually sent, to rob them ; they- have, been furnish ed with armes by somebody who de sired them to make disturbance and they-have risen in armed resistance. 4to laws of the land.■ft- Should Dunin any Cause Those, who allege that the half breeds myst have just grounds of complaint, else Riel could not enlist, so many* of them ‘under his ban ner, overlook the fact that |his championship, of any cause Bbould alone be sufficient to. damn it in the eyes of all lovers of liberty and hu manity. lie'is a cruel, scheming, ■barbarous monsteC with the worst char-acteristics of. civilized humanity, grafted upon a low animal nature much akin to .that of the Cowardly yet ferocious tiger ’ He will toy witli the half-breeds, as a cat does with a kitten, and then-munch (hem up dr ..cause them to be crunched between iron jaws of avenging justice. ■■__Here'are some facts in connection , with the murder of Thomas Scott by the hellish, monster Louis liiel, which are not gqiieraliy known,w gathered from a reliable source, and published hist_yearby a writer in The St. PaulT Pioneer Press, which■ tend new. fea- tures of horror to the horrible tragedy of'FtM-t Garry.

Scotch fath ers and Indian mothers, others of French -fathers anct- Indian mothers. To get an understanding of' the pre sent trouble near Prince"Albert ive may-loave the Scotch half-breeds out of tlie question.'.

Wq believe complaint has ■jiever-been made that'class was not ^liberally dealt with. •Besides”ednfirni* • ing all titles granted by the.

There were a few half breeds beyond the borders of Manito ba, wlio had. not shared in the half-breeds.lands-. . These had taken ’ up farms, in other’ places, and they . have never been dispossessed or dis-' tiifbed.-—When the Manitoba half-' breeds, who had. sold their scrii^vvont west, they in turn took up farms. . as squatters, ahd they, too, have re mained in undisturbed 'possession.' Many, ’ especially those fieai* Fort; Ellice.,_tnpk .up homesteads, just as -white men do* and-tlie others-might -qT^^doffoMtkiyw^-rbutJtlfoy^fleclf'fi” to do that, and simply squatted.', on such unoccupied land as they could find, the tracts claimed By them b'eing, indefinite in area and sometimes ,;.p-«^yRi,ppjng each other. The goyern 7 meat Surveyors were instructed not to survey these half-breed districts as they survey other land’s, but to con form to the customs of the peoples giving them long, narrow lots, front ing on the river; and, so soon as tho the. surveys'were made and Alai his proved, government titles were- given to the settlers. It will be seen that these settlers were of two classes— those who had an equitable claim upon the, government similar, to tho original claim ol the Jianitbba half- ' breeds, 'and those whose claim had been satisfied. - When a half-breed applied to goyornment for title,it was not always easy to determine the naturo of hjs claim, and no .doubt thero has been delay in issuing titles.' But no hardship has hoen-siiffered by anybody, since nobody has been (lis- possessed.. But designing pors'bns have worked upon the minclffof these uneducated mon, and they have boon macle to believe that’ they wore wronged. The land was wholly un-, surveyed, aniHhe govet.nntontcould. toot- give titles without a survey. But ■when the surveyors wont to work tho same designing mon persuaded the half-breeds that it was for the pnr“ view be Baid was td assist his friends; The archbishop wrote to him telling him that the only way to get Rfttififaction was by constitus tional - means and by making the pepepsary representations in a proper manner to the proper author!tses. He neyer received an answer to that letter. The archbishop is beset with enquiries from all parts of the country, He has done alt that mortal map could do to balk Riel’s projects, but now that’ blood has been shed the excitement among the half-breeds in the northern districts is beyond control. The priests in the Saskatchewan diocege (BisHop Grandin’s) left no stone unturned to prevent a rising, but their -efforts were in vain. The bad crops of the last two years, with"’ the disappear ance of game of dll kinds, had crip pled them and rehdered them dis satisfied, Nothing has been heard .direct from Rev.- Fattier Fourmand, the mission'priest of St. Laurent, lbut.it is believed he has gone north to make another attempt to per- suftde Riel’s adherents.to go homo. The archbishop, says that the only way to stop an jndiiinjising and put .(town the half breeds is for the Gov ernment to th rd w a very large force into the disaffected districts, and to overawe the malcontents by a disk play of strength. His grace is pro-J foundry distressed at the turn things lias taken. The' warmest expres sions of sympathy are being convey ed to him from all parts.

The township of Plympton in the County of Lambton, has a-remark able case and one which shows the dull life which' a man may lead. About the year i860 Henry Ramsay disappeared from his home, a farm about a mile and a half from Wan stead, leaving a wife and five child ren, consisting of four boys and one girl. He. dropped out of existence as it were as far as his family knew. Ramsay had been a railroad contrac tor and was a man of aldlity, Being considered a sharp and shrewd .busi ness maq and not likely to spend his days on a bush farm as it then was*. People wondered where Ramsay had ■ gone, and ■ once in a while a rumor was wafted around among his' old friends and'neighbors that he was away , off in the States at bis old railroad contracting business. But no definite news was received about him. His wife' and family never beard fi-otn him. The boys gradually grew up “arid worked the. farm. Henry Ramsay was dead to them. Abdut fpurfow five years ago a man came, al.orlg* over the G. W. R. from ‘Londofr~und go(i off at Wan stead.
