Tho Canadian papers say news from the
Northwest Territory is 10 the following
effect: An old and well known Indian,
who has Just died, before his death mnde
Il confession which entirely cleared up
what had been painful mystery for full
half century, Fifty years ago Nicholas
Garland, pioneer, took tract OF land
situated in what il now the township OF
Beckwith, III the county Of Lanark. built
u cabin on II, and proceeded to clear AWAY
the dense forest standing upon tho tract
At that time he had wife and one small
child, n very pretty little girl named Alice.
One day Alice did not return from the
edge OF the clearing, where she had beep
playing with two other children. Al
alarm was raised and all the woodsmcn in
the country thercabouts joined in the
search, which lasted for many days, but
resulted in no clcw to the missing child,
and the general verdict arrived mt by tho
hunters was that Alice had been carried
away and dcvourcd by one of the bears
with which the country then abounded.
This conclusion seemed tobe corroborated
by the discovery Of some clean, small
bones a few months afterward in Il deep
hollow couple OF miles from darland's
cabin. They were gathered carefully to-
gethcr and buried by the father and
mother of Alice near their home. All the
people for miles around attended the fun
eral, which was the first over held in that
section by the whites. The loss OF her
child and the terrible strain of the long
suspense and the CHASTITY discovery subse
quently broke down the strong constitu
ton Of Mrs. Garland, and she died with
broken heart not long after the funeral.
Mr.. Garland, after his wifes death, be
came hard and ascetic, never referred to
his trouble, never associated with his
neighbors, and has ever since lived her
init in the cabin he first built. The old
Indian who died recently, however, says
he saw Alice on that day, when she was
playing with her companions on the clear
ing, became fascinated with her childish
her as one of his own family. When she
became manageable she was thoroughly
Indianizcd, and her abductor managed to
have her married to one OF his own sons.
She il now living III Bruce county, and is
mother of large family. She has never
shown that she had any recollection OF
her parents on home, and appears to be
happy. The dying Indian said that SO
well had she been cared for that he be
lieved no one could have convinced her Of
her real origin, or induced her to change
her lot. and he added that no one but him
self and the son who married her was ever
made acquainted with her history. The
story is believed to be true. and causes u
profound sensation.

Chinamen,s Secret Societies.

A Chinaman who does not belong 10
secret society has very little chance Of
prospecting. There are few who are unat
tached- mostly men from isolated villages
in China, from which there are not enough
immigrants to form Hoey. Such man
may possibly be tolerated, but he cannot
grow rich. II he keeps u store no guilds
man will buy from him if he plies sam
pan he may find it scuttled some day with
out the least chance of redress. II socie
ty man fastens Il quarrel on him no is
ruined, and had better leave before he is
murdered. The worst feature Of the 20
ciety, If possible, is the protection it affords
to all its members, it matters not what
crime they have committed. Not many
years ago awealthy Chinese merchant was
murdered in the middle OF the day in Beach
street, tho busiest thornughfare in Penang.
The murderer was hired assassin belong
ing to the Gee Hin Kongsce. He called
his victim to the door, plunged u dagger
twice into his side, and darted through the
crowded street into the dark lanes Of the
Macao quarter close ut hand. A thorough
and immediate search was made by the
police and the friends of the murdered
man. A large reward was offered for tho
apprehension OF the assassin. Yet, though
he was known to be- within space Of only
few hundred square yards in area, he
could not be found. And yet this man was
simply paid to do the murder. He had no
grudge against tho victim, and his ON
ployor was vehemently suspected Of being
a man who did not belong to the society ut
all Tho assassin was no doubt quietly
shipped off to China in junk sometime
afterward Many similar cases might DO
cited to prove the unwavering tideiity OF
the members to the bond of union subsist
ing between them. They will risk their
liberty, and even their lives, for one anoth
er without hesitation. Indeed, IL one
brother betrayed another in case OF this
kind, his life would not be worth an hours
purchase and Outsiders arc in little less
danger. II they aid in the arrest Of 4.
guildsman, they are almost certain to OK
perience the vengeance Of the society
sooner or later, and tho mere ill-will Of the
guild usually means ruin. When "a mem
ber has committed any grave crime and re
quires the protection Of his brethren, all
no does is to cut OIL lock Of hair and tic
il to his arm. He simply has to show this
to obtain place Of concealmcnt or means
of escape. Hence, when mumbsss Of a
secret society commit crime, It is almost
impossible to find oven a clew To the per
petrators. Detectives are useless and re-
wards are offered TO no purpose. 81 Jone'

An Extraordinary Report.

A delicionB piece Of bamboozlcment was
served up to the readers Of a provincial pa
per the other day due in oil probability to

the Conversion OF Jews to Christianity, after
which no reported an address given to
local society on tho Conversion Of Sewage
into Lime and Cement. In the compositoy's
hands tho manuscript got mixed up, and the
printed report read as follows:
"Thc Chairman, after the meeting had

Some OF them have already taken this
step, but concerted action is likely unless

are alarmed at the steady rise in prices
OF meats, and the butchers and some

comes not on luxuries which are rela.

saries Of life. Wheat and corn aud
their products. potatoes. vegetables and
meats are comparatively higher, and
some OF them are actually higher in this
market than in the flush times succeed-
iuS the war when gold was at great
premium. People who have considered
themselves fairly well-to-do are now
comptllsd to look carefully into the e1-
prnse question and TO economics, sharply
