They aro not only model organi- zations, but are peculiarly fitted for the work they have in hand. Eachof thesutroops number sixty. ''Their organization and equip - anent is the same as that of a ca- valry troop, excepting sabers., k They have been organized .foi only :six or sevenmonths, bet their drill and discipline are already of the best. The scouts are docile, ick, interested in their work models of light irregular ca- valry. It is asserted confidently that no Cossack command could in efficiency compare with these American Indians .thus organized and disciplined and handled. As couriers and scouts during the `Mast summer, some of the rides they have made are almost beyond belief. When the dispatch came ordering out troops from Fort Caster, Lieutenant obertson was directed to send out scouts to bring in teams and hunting par- ties. The Indian sent after the "former rode twenty-six miles to the government sawmill over a rough hill road in two hours. The two sent after hunting parties rode to the Big Horn Muontafhs, 10 miles, in 24 hours, both parties accomplishing their mission suc- cessfully. This is only one illus- tration of their capacity in this line. They are always ready and cheerful in performing arduous an rapid work. These two troops are equipped wit the new Indian scout unt- o , They have been carried t � t` a i h all of troop and skirmish are as punctilious in It� a; a their bearing, saluting, oto., in garrison, as the white soldier. In drossthey are conspicuously neat. Liet'lhant Casey is,now with his Cheyennes on Powder River, and Lieutenant Robertson, with the Crews, operates in the country farther south. Each troop has light waggons for grain and a train of pack borates. Pony herds, with fromono to two extra mounts per snout, are driven along, and tho capacity of these scouts, would it is safe to say, with so many extra ponies and packs, he ono hhndred miles a day for sever- al consecutive days in pressing emergency. They know the country like its own jack rabbits, are self reliant, inured to every hardship. and their advantage f W d b t tover the white soldier .1,13 hereto men, trailers, and in all other re- spects constituting perfect scants,, need not leo mentioned. The oMeei in equimand of three snouts have trained a certain number of them in each troop as nen»ewe's., packers and trumpeters; they run their details as in regular troops, and observe all the essential forms of dicipline on the march as in garrison. It can be readily un- derstood, that with so many fresh mounts parties can be launched from their colunanes BO as to keep the 'country on their flanks and in front thoroughly scoured and explored a day or two's march' away. The system of drill used by the officers is a simplification of the cavalry tactics and operated by either signs or the voice. Their n niferm is essentially becoming and soldierly. Lieut. Robertson r stains the moccasins and leggins or his Crows, while Lieut. Casey adopts the boot for the Cheyennes, ith a plentiful supply of good _onus it can readily be judged b ow valuable these splendid In- iau horsemen, lea by vigorous e nergetic officers, are bound to ecome to our little army of the Weet- in just such work as. they are called on to do at present.

Here is a case in point : During a recent anti-fore- igndevil riot at some place between Tong-tu and Kaiping, the mob, by way of emphasizing the patriotic sentiments, destroyed a good length �f the railway that has re- cently been carried through the district. The local mandarin, in- stead of using the forces under him to quell the riot, sent bis soldiers to assist in the pif us' work The embankments were levelled for some distance and the rails thrown into, the river, and an at- tempt was made to destroy the bridges. Mr Kinder, tbo head engineer of the line, laid the, state of the case before the Toatoi of Tientsin,. who is the head director of the un- dertaking. The Toatoi sent for the mandarin, and addressed, him thus: 'To please yourself and friends yon have destroyed the railway track. To please me you will put it back just as it was before. If, one month from t, -day, the trains are not running the same as before you lose your head, and your fam- ily and ancestors 'are disgraced. Mr Kinder estimate% the damage and loss by non -running of trains at 50,000 teals (about $62,500), which sum you will have to pay out of your own funds to the com- pany. For labor, all your officials soldiers and townsfolk will work as you direct, receiving no money for their labor, and all salaries are stopped until the repairs are com- plete. I shall appoint a board of punishment to return with you with power to torture and im- prison anyone who makes the least disturbance or trouble.' Tho Mandarin begged for mercy on the plea that, as the country was all under water. he could not possibly get mud and stones wherewith to build the enbank- meatt. The Toatoi saw the force of his plea, and said be would give him a chance. Ho could pull down any of his forts he liked in order to provide material for the repair of the railway, and he would give him three months af- ter the railway was completed to rebuild his forte at hie (the Man- (Iarin's) own expense. In rather ander three weeks the trains were running again, and they are now rebuilding the forts. How long would it have taken to bring about the same results in. England? Engineer• Robt. E.

T Iit,W8171,T A1iQIIT A POST,,: AGE STAMP. "When the postoiee stood on the block below," said Pat Rickey. an attache of tho Tremont hotel, 'there was it mai, who .kept a news and candy and cigar and tobacco stand in the front. His name was .Roach. J don't recall his given name, but no matter. An Englishman went in and bought a postage stamp. Roach also sold stamps. The English. man threw down three cents, ono of the pieces being Canadian. This Roach refused to take. The lishman said he had no other and i e bad by this time used the stem r.The two men were stubborn. It was the same old fight—English vs the Irish,and the Irishman had the better of it and insisted on his way: Roach sued the Englishman and a lingering lawsuit was the result in which Roach won, but it cost him quite a sum of money, I think the expense of the suit on both sides amounted to about $400. Roach is not living here now, I believe, and the English- man left long ago. Roach brought the suit to recover the one cent, and that is the smallest law- suit on record, so I am told."

An exceedingly amusing incid- ent occurred last Friday night in a revival meeting at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Vienna, Ohio. Excitement was at highest pitch, following the conversion of several "sinners.,, Hosannas a ere sung, and an experience meeting was in progress. John Smith, a farmer, owning over 1,200 acres of lana, and known as a great sheep raiser in this congressional district, arose and eloquently told of his interest in the cause of Christ, . 'You all know me.' he said. 'I havo lived here for years, and am acquainted with every man, woman and child for miles around Let us do right, my friends. If I owe anybody money I want him to step up and I will pay him ten- fold. This declaration created marked interest in certain parts of the church, •and when he concluded five young men marched up and asked if he did not remember that they worked for him six months previous and he refused topay them. People looked on astound- ed, and Smith, not denying the charge, paid thorn, not ten -fold, but the amounts they claimedeas duo them.

The only medicine for women sold on trial ? THE TRAMP COULD FIDDLE. A down -town music store in Lewiston was surprised on Friday at the entrance of a tramp—a ragged, veteran tramp, who said that he was not vicious, but only unfortunate. 'What made you come into a music store 2' asked the proprietor. The thin cheeks of the tramp flushed as he said, 'I'm a musician.' Having said that he played the violin they banded him, and he laid a loving cheek against the fiddle and drew a bow of finished power across the trembling strings. For half an hour he played to a rapt audience, preluding with the skillofthe im• provisator and weaving the theme into many an airy fancy of the strings. Sometimes he marched up and down the floor playing and talking. A now light was born in his eye. His rags were forgotten by all who saw him. His cheeks wore flushed and his gray hair was tossed back by an impetuous wave of his hoed. In the imagery of this strings wore palaces of delight and strange visions of wasted hopes and years. In the pleading voice of the violin ono beard a voice of long ago, a mother s tone, and a baby's cry. That's all right.' said ho, as he silence lluI- p -1�aid it down, and a sl o e on all around broken by the querulous voice of the tramp as he said : 'Gim'mo the price of a supper.' --Lewiston Journal, WiLL LEAV E, qN FEBRUARY 24th, 1891 AT 9.00 P.M.

Lilliputian as they are in size (being no larger than mustard seeds), they achieve results that their Brobdingnagian opponents utterly fail in.

Opium is manufactured in the cities of Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia. As one manu- faoturer expressed it, sufficient is made in one ween in either city to meet the demands of British Columbia for two years,' Thole are ten or a dozen manufactur- ers in Vancouver, and more yet "i'n Victoria. The e opium imported is of a second quality, and is of Indian origin. It comes in the form of sap, and in the shape of balls that weigh about three pounds, and are encased in an envelope made by pressing leaves against the sticky sub- stance. Tho Canadian revenue laws impose a duty of one dollar a pound upon this raw material, while our impost upon finished opium is ten dollars a pound. The difference when the raw ma- terial is worked into the finished product is therefore very groat, and the temptation to smuggle is in direct proportion to the profit. The Chinese merchants in British Columbia find the method of man- ufacture very simple. The stuff costs two dollars and a half raw, or three dollars and a half a pound with the duty added. When it has been cooked in- to smoker's opium it has cost in the neighborhood of seven dollars and it fetches from eight dollars and half to twelve dollars and a half a pound in various parts of tho United Slates. There are thiriy or forty. firms of Chinamen manufacturing it constantly in the two British Col- umbian cities, and one firm—not the largest—admitted to me that they produce from two hundred to three hundred pounds a month. There is sear;ety a devisable manner of concealment of the little cans in which the opium is put up that is not practiced in smuggling this articlS over our border. It comes in barrels of beer, in women's bustles, in trunks, in satchels, under the loose shirts of sailors, in boat- loads by night in every conceiv- able way. By collusion with steam.boat and steam -ship cap- tains, and through officials in our OW6 country, the greatest profits aro made possible.—From "The r. Chinese Leak,' by Julian Ralph, in Harpers. Magazine ?or March. A WORD OF ADVICE. Little troubles are proverbially the ones that cause the most worry, annoyance and vexation. But what are sometimes considered little troubles if left to themselves, soon; magnify into grave evils,prodnoing disastrous results. This is especially true of cold in the head. The llnfferer looks upon it as a trifling annoyance that needs no treat ment and will speedily pass away. This is a grave mistake. There is not a case of catarrh in existence that did not have its origin in neglected cold in the head, and the longer the trouble runs tho more serious the reunite. Cold in the head, developing into catarrh, renders the breath foul, causes a lose of the senses of taste and smell, partial deafness, distressing headaches, oonetant hawking and spitting, and in many, many cases end in consumption and death. No case may havo all the symptoms indicated, but the more the sufferer has the greater the danger. It is obvious, therefore, that no case of cold in the head should be neglected for an instant, and that to do so is courting further disease—perhaps death. Nasal Balm, in the most aggravated case of cold in the head, will give instant relief, and speedily effects a euro, thug preventing the developing into catarrh. No other remedy hasever y met with the success that Nasal Balm has, and this is simply because it dons all its manu- facturers claim for it. As a precau- tionary remedy a bottle of Nasal Balm should be kept in every houed. Sold by all dealers. FRUITrUL CAUSE OF IN- SANITY. This is a question that from time to time is discussed in soientiho journals, and when one sees the vast number of broken down, listless and prematurely old men found in every community. one is almost forced to admit that the race is deteriorating. The Causes lead- ing to this depline in manhood are various, and among them may be men- tioned overworked, mental strain, loss of sleep, over indulgence of appetites, and excessesof various kinds, all lead- ing to sl'attered nerves, loss of vital forces and premature decay, and often to insanity. To all thus suffering Dr Williams' Pink Pills come as a boon. They build up shattered nerves; enrich t'ie blood, stimulate - the brain, and reinforce' the exhausted . system,. All who are suffering from any of the causes that break down and enfeeble the sys- tem should use these pills, and will find them a sure and speedy restorative. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent, post paid, on receipt of price -50 cents a box—by addressing The Dr Williams Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. �Anom�aG,o h4 E .ai!vti�„i 1.59...77 .°:21z Qf33y.=hw q-::: ori ay`='•.piag ° ? tLo9i7a.psh ga McCOLL BROS.,L :SV`I g I.AT DIN E, . ..
