she started TO hunt for her, and ran through the
woods calling her name. Wearied and broken
hearted she returned to her house to wait for
the light of day. Next morning the neighbors
gathered and engaged in the search. The body

colOred men. The head had been crus led with

ROMANCE OF POLITICS Member Of the
Canadian Pdrti0meat Indicted for Nurdsr.-A
dispatch from Ottawa revives an almost forgot
ten incident Three years ago a few thousand
settlers in the western borders of Canada,
mostly half breeds, revo,ted against the Pro-
vincial authorities, set up o sort of dependent
government of their own, with Louis Riel az its
head, and proceeded to impose the penalties OF
treason upSh all who held out against 1t. One
poor fellow, Thomas Scott, having committed
some violation OF the "laws of war;" was
seized and executed by the fraudulent proyi-
sional government In the spring OF 1870
when Sir Garnet Wolsey (now commanding the
expedition against the Ashantees) appeared at
the head OF a competent force in Manitoba, the
provisional government disappeared like dew
and Riel ran away. A territorial organization
was set up, under officials appointed by the
authorities of Canada, and everything appeared
to be going on finely. AS the ringleaders kept
out of the way, no serious attempt was made to
punish the participants in the rebellion. In the
meantime Riel obtained, or professed TO have
obtained, from Sir John A. Macdonald then Al
the head of the Dominion government, a prom
Use Of amnesty, and he was elected to represent
his Manitoba constituency in the Canadian
Parliament; but, not entirely trusting Sir John
A. Macdonald's successor, be failed to put in an
appearance at Ottawa. And now comes the in
telligence that he has been indicted by the
Manitoba grand jury for murder. If he is
caught, he will very probably be hung.

Our Naval Preparations.

The energy of Secretary Robson has been
subject of much favorable comment here and
elsewhere. The New York Herald warmly
commends him, and says: cat Washington
Brooklyn, ChariestOwn. Chester, Wilmington
Newport and Norfolk the greatest activity is
displayed, and before the troubles are an other
week older the country will doubtless be aston
ished at the rapidity with which the low peace
footing Of our navy has been changed for a
footing of war. The noiselessn ess with which
the governments torpedo system has been or
gained promises well for other portions of the
naval preparation. What is greatly to the point
is, that as fast as the vessels are got ready they
are dispatched either TO Cuba itself or to a gen
eral naval rendezvous, whence they will be
ready to swoop down on the Spaniards in the
event Of war"

SIGNS OF PEACE.-The belief in very we'll
posted quarters is that the complications arising
out of the Yirginius affair will be settled with
out last resort to war. Thus far all the in.
formation, official and otherwise, that is in the
possession OF the government tends to strengthen
this impression. The CASTELAR, government has
given evidence repeatedly, since the fatal oc
currences at Santiago lie Cuba, of the earnest
anxiety to preserve peaceful relations with the

that exists IN Spain that there may be no hos
