An Object of Sympathy.

1t is indeed pitiable sight to witness
the struggle which was commenced last
winter, continued in the spring and
still endeavors to continue, between the
combined force of our States metropoli.

Providence, in respect to populating the
Manitoba and Northern Minnesota
territory. The struggle has been a
fierce one, but from the latest accounts
Providence Is ahead. The fact is, Provi
dence and all Nature never designed
that portion Of "this dark terrestrial ball"
to be the habitation of man, but calcu.
lated to reserve it for other purposes.
However, the speculator and our me-
tropolitan journals decreed otherwise,
and thus the unequal race began only
to close in time, with an obituary notice
upon every corner post, of:
This was the place long had sought

SONS, and viewing the landscape of
wooded hill and green carpeted vale,
the poor, unfortunate and hungered
immigrants of the northern slope are
surveying their wealth of landed estates
from palatial fiat boats and steamers,
while a waste of water flows murmuring
through the second story windows of
their hastily constructed homes. In
short, the boundless fields of No. l hard
fife only one brief year ago, have long
been submerged with the watery
element; railroad communication to
Winnipeg has become thing of the
past; bright visions of golden wealth
have given way to disconsolation and
dispair; provisions have become scarce,
and the cry comes to us along the tele-
graph wires and through the columns of
the daily press, that they are hungered.
Instead of that country feeding the
world, the world is sending provisions to
it. We indeed feel sorry for the thou
sands of poor, disappointed immigrants
who have traversed the perils of the
ocean wide, with bright expectations
and buoyant hearts, only to find that
behind the enchanted curtain of their
imagination there is destitution instead
of plenty. And yet the companions
they left behind in the Faderland are
still haunted by the merceless specula-
tor Turing them on to meet the fate OF
their kindred gone before.
