The Red River Nor Wester is alarmed by
the rumor that the Hudson Bay Company's
territory is to be sold to the United States 1t
holds that the real title to the soil Ia in the In
dams, who have already heard of the rumor-
ed sale. The Nor Wester says of its effect:
"The Indians of many of the interior dis
tricts are beginning to be aware of the intend
ed sale OF this country by the Hudson Bay
Company, and great deal of excitement is
the consequence Notwithstanding the as
surances OF the Hudson Bay Company's en-
ployees that sucn is not the case, they have
their doubts, and If the company did really
make sale without consulting them they
would find their trading posts more warm
than comfortable when once the Indians came
to know of It," ie uot ~
The inhabitants of the Red River settle.
ment recently addressed a petition 20 the
Queen, praying to be made Crown colony.
One of the most curious paragraphs of this
petition is one in which they gravely state
their apprehensions of the calamity of Pa
cific railway uniting them with the prosperous
northwestern states of the Union. They
say: sl' lrassl9H if'l o h..i i.a.
''If the claim to dominion, as absolute pro-
prietors of the soil, which the company set up
to this territory, under their charter, is well
founded, then the subject is one tor grayest
consideration; for In that case there is moth
ing to prevent them selling it to the govern
inent Of the United States, or to citizens of
the United States, with nominal location in
London, with real one in New York or
Washington. If this were done, it is the
opinion of persons well able to judge that not
three years would elapse before railroad COM
munication would be extended from Mime
sofa to Red River, and the Northwest Terri
tory Overrun by q population of not less than
five hundred thousand American citizens" la
1t is frightful to contemplate the degree of
prosperity that might be forced on these sim
pie minded Red River people in such contin-
gency.

Ira AIdPidge.

This celebrated actor died recently in Pc
land while on a professional tour in that
country. He was mulatto and was born in
village called Bellair, near Baltimore, Mary
land, about 1910. In early life he was appren-
ticed to ship carpenter. From minsling
with the German population which is large
on the western shore OF Maryland, he learn
ed to speak the German language quite flu
entity, and also acquired some education
When Edmund Kean visited this country,
Aldridge became his personal attendant and
accompanied him to England where his nat
ural talent for the stage was developed and
cultivated. He began his career in some Of
the minor theatres of London, and then went
to the Provinces. He drew large crowds to
see him. In Belfast, Ireland, he played
Othello to Kean's Iago. He thence proceed
ed to the continent, and appeared in Amster-
dam, Brussels, Berlin, Breslau, Berne and
other cities, personating characters of every
style and nationality. Many honors were con-
ferred upon him by Kings and Emperors. The
Gar of Russia gave him many decorations.-
He paid several visits to the large cities of
Europe and was everywhere received with
great enthusiasm, and his travels were mark
ed with a series of triumphal successes. a3
He had some troubles in his domestic re-
lations. His wife was white woman, and
the law proceedings in his case attracted
good deal of attention in London. He pos
sessed fine physique and many who have
seen him affirm that he was the most "pow-
erfur' actor living He was engaged to ap-
pear at the Academy of Music in New York
during the month of September. There has
been considerable excitement in New York
in regard to his coming, and prejudice began
to operate. 1t was said he would find much
difficulty In getting white men and women
to play with him. No doubt public opinion
would have sustained Aldridge and also those
white actors and actresses who might have
appeared on the stage with him. Actors are
dependent upon public approbation for their
living, and we venture the opinion that the
public sentiment OF this enlightened age win
appreciate and recognize the liberal culture
and Independence of those of the theatrical
profession who are not afraid 10 run the risk
of appearing upon the stage with an accom-
plished actor of whatever race he may come,
or whatever color his skin may be. But death
has vetoed any trial which might have been
had with Ira Aldridge.

The Garden, nm Index Of the aIina.

One of the best English writers has said,
that If you would Judge correctly Of the char
aeter of mans mild, 90 into his garden and
o"serve how much order or disorder, how
nnoon neatness or slovenlmess appears there.
~ iS reflex OF his mind. We suspect there
10 more IN this, as a test of mans character
tnah mere IS in phrenology or ph, siognOmy.
solomon sought the same test of character.
Said he, Il went to. the field of the slotbfaI.
and by the vineyard of the man uoia of un-
derStdndinJ; and 10, it was all grown over
with thorcs, and nettles had covered the face
thereof; and the stone wall thereof was brok-
en- down." Such was the phrenolosy OF Solo
mons time. He looked upon a slovenly field
or garden, and saw in 1t the proof that its
owner had sloyenly mind void OF under
standing.
Whenever passing through village or rid
ing in the country, you see mans garden or
his fam laid out with good order and taste,
and notice the neatness of Its cultivation, you
may set it down at once that that mans mind
is like ajudlciously selected and well arranged
library; every class of books has It's general
department, and every book its appropriate
place within that department. So with the
mental library-room-the brain. A good gar
den is an evidence that his knowledge is re-
ducei to system, and is readily at command.
His head is not full of cobwebs, but is as neat
as parlor, swept and garnished. The exter-
nal has a correspondence in the internal A
mans idea will be actualized In his operations.
HIS theory may be judged by his practice
The tree Is known by its fruits.
1t is on these universally conceded princi-
Piles, that the order and taste that prevail in
a g,rden are to be regarded as an evidence Of
the condition of the corresponding garden Of
the mind. He who continues to produce much
fruit by cultivatingthe earth may be expected
to be valuable man in the community by
the fruits of sound judgment, good counsel
and an active philanthropy. lfhe allows no
noxious weeds TO choke the valuable plants,
equally careful he may be presumed to be that
no bad principles are allowed to obtain an as
tendency over the virtuous sentiments of his
heart. Such men may generally be trusted;
and if the test we have suggested were adopt
ed or a rule for selecting men for places Of
public responsibility and trust, there can be
little doubt that we should have better order
in government and less of the confusion of
partizan and selfish strife. Too many Of our
moral and political vineyards are grown over
to thorns, and the differences of patriotism
and virtue and stone walls are broken down.
In the rush and scramble for the fruits of Of
fee, the plants and trees are too osten i'll
treated, trodden down and well nis h destroy
ed. A good public busbandman does not cul-
vate any thing in this style. - -
