ANOTHER ROBINSON CRUsoE.-There
is an old story in Nature about an island
lying in the route Of ships between
Australia and China. Though called
pleasant Island" it had, previous to
1865, on account of the conduct of the
natives, very bad reputation. In that
year ship captain visited the place,
bringing away favorable report of it,
as we'll as news there was an English
man among the native population. Three
years later, Captain Hall, of the barge
Glenisle, passed that way, and was
boarded by canoes from the island and
a couple Of whale boats. Two English
men came with the skiffs, one of whom
said he had been twenty-eight years on
the island, and introduced his younger
companion, eighteen years old, as his
son. They told Captain Hall that they
tried to visit all ships passing within
easy distance, and were anxious it
should be known that they could supply
crews with pigs and cocoa nut oil. The
captain advised them to cultivate pota-
toes, and they gave him an advertise.
ment to put in the colonial papers. Tn.
fortunately this document has baf1ed
all attempts to decipher it, from the
faulty writing. Readers of Browning
will perhaps ask whether this is moi
news Of Waring. The island is stated
to be nine miles across, and twenty-five
in circumference.

Red River.

The bogus news still continues to come
from Red River. 10 Rolette and Suits
mans mill tor grinding out fctions is
tireless, and no sooner is one sensation
exploded or become stale, than they have
a new one ready. This is the scource
Of about one-third OF the bogus Red
River news. The balance is manufactu-
red out of nothing in the St. Paul Press
Office. The utter lack of conscience
aud hdhesty in those who commene d
and sustain this rank imposition is
almost inexplicabe. The humbug would
haze been exploded long ago but for
the isolation and distance of the scene
where the venue of the Fictitious events
is laid by the bold and ingenious liars
who have palmed these grotesque false
hoods and cxaggerations upon the pub
lie. Its also true that correct informa-
ton is not allowed to be transmitted
through the local mails in the Red
River country, nor to reach the outside
world. No doubt, Rel and his gang OF
half-breed rioters are carrying matters
with high hand, and they are not re-
sisted because the body of the people
deem it better to wait till troops arrive
from Canada in the spring, when order
will be restored without any necessity
arising for the people of the settlement
to take up arms against each other.
1t is said that Reil's armed half-breeds
have consumed all the Hudson Bay
supplies, and have made free
with considerable amount of provis-
ions that belonged to others; so that
the entire. settlement will be nearly in
condition by spring st. Paul
