This is story descriptive of Wild and Startling Ad-
venture, and of the primitive modes of life, among
Indians and Trappers Of the Great North
Territory This grand and extensive portion Of the
American continent has been hitherto almost
ssealed book' the civilized world. In those regions
a territory nearly large as Europe has long been
locked in the monopoly of the Hudson Bay Company
and its rival, the North western Company Private
enterprise has not penetrated its sotudes and of those
whose duties have called them there, and who have
participated in the of this unknown land,
none have hitherto been willing 10 expose its myster

ilous and strange ycisstudes, through which they
have passed Here find classes of men, distinct,
indigenous TO the SOIL moulded by its pecuarities;
perfectly original in Character utterly unlike in
ners and habits TO any similar order IN other lands
The Indian all his natural wldness the half breed,
strange mixture of daring, simplicity and cunning
the Trapper who spurns the restraints civilization
ana recognizes law but the fierce impulse of his
will; the European Exile outcast; the Outlaw
of Canada and the United States who in the track

ilized life.
Nor this rude society denied the genial influences
and humanizng effects of woman's presence. impell-
ed by affection, hundreds of devoted women have ac
cOmpanied these adventurous outcasts this wild
treat while the population, the offspring OF mixed
es, contains thousands OF half breed females IN whom
the passions the graces and the virtues of the softer
sex, blended with the artlessness of nature, and
the wild freedom Of life that knows no convention

In these reckless men the great rival Companies find
willing agents and Inscriptions tools; once engaged
in their service, but few return to
TO society. Among these people enacted deeds OF
rude chivary, brilliant and daring any recorded
of the chivalTc ages. And among them also
mitted tragedies and crimes of wild passion, that
find parallel IN history, scarcely ia fiction. Liv

rifle and the tomahawk are the only arbters.
Here is a glorious field for novelist whose expert
and talent lit him for the task of depicting its
FLES;'' and in this story venture 10 say he has
surpassed every former effort For fidelity TO nature
for graphic and dramatic force of style, and for keen
deneaton of character, there are few stories in the
language that can compare with ''NICk WHlFFLES."
The author brings before the reader IN lfeke action
the hardy Adventures and the simple Natives of this
magnificent region. The crime, the wrongs, the mis-
fortunes and the unsophisticated virtues the life he
depicts, alternately arouse our indignation and awak-
en- our sympathy. At one time We are rapt in admir-
of the reckless courage and daring
viv.dy painted by this sSlful writer, at another
melted to tears by the exquisite pathos with which
of the nObes traits of human nature brought
before US, and again convused with laughter
by humorous descriptions of eccentric and original
Characteristic unique offspring of free, lawless and
uutramelled mode Of existence: phase OF human ma
ture hitherto unknown for want of historian.
