The exodus from Manitoba to Dakota
this season has reached alarming proper
tions, and it is not denied by the railroad
authority that the emigration from the
province exceeds the immigration into it
for the season Of 1883. The heavy freight
charges imposed by the railroad are said
to have made living SO expensive that
many people have decided to leave Tia
country

Judge Nicholson says he has taken heavy

heaps of well-boiled rice. This dish
may be served either hot or cold.
CHICKEN SALAD.-Take a fine white
bunch of celery. Oour or five heads),
scrape and wash white, reserve the
delicate green leaves, shred the white
part like straws, lay this ia glass or
white china dish in the form of nest,
mince all the white meat ef boiled
fowl without the skin, and put it in the
nest. Make a salad dressing, viz, rub
the yolks of two hard boiled eggs, to a
smooth paste, with a dessert spoonful
of salad oil, or melted butter, add to j.
two teaspoonfuls of made mustard, and
q small teaspoonful of fine white sugar,
and put to it gradually, cup of strong
vinegar, make wreath of the most
delicate leaves of the celery around the
edge of the nest, between it and the
chicken, pour the dressing over the
chicken when ready to serve. If the
dressing is poured over too soon it will
discolor the celery. White-heart let
tuce may be used for the nest instead
of celery.

Boston Transcript.
From the unpublished work of Mrs.
Hopkins upon "Indian Life" now in
the press, we gather view of the inn
portance of their tribal relation which
it is well to consider. The precent
opinion Of General Sheridan is that the
sooner it is broken up, the sooner the
Indians will become civilized. But the
nature of the tribal relation is not well
understood. The chief of the tribe is
the father of it, not the tyrant. His
will is not arbitrary, it is advisory. 1t
is sanctified, as one may say, by long
usage, and points back to the pa
triarchal relation. With the Indians,
the chief is the poorest man in the
tribe. His tent, which is also the coun-
Gil tent, is the resort of the tribe in all
emergencies. His hospitality is un-
bounded. In his present poverty he Of
ten goes without food himself because
his guests, whether of the tribe or
strangers, must be served first. Would
it not be best to try tho effect of JUS
tice and mercy, so long withheld by
our government and by society from
the hunted and outraged Indian, before
breaking up that family relation which
is the strongest influence over them?
Mrs. Hopkins thinks they could hold
their lands in severaltv on the same re.
servation, and, while enjoying all the
immunity from the neighborhood and
encroachment of the whites, which is
the thing they dread Chat is, if the
rights of citizenship 60 with that dis
tribution of land), their social life can
continue the same, with all lis pleasures
and advantages. The Indian is the
most sociable of human beings in his
own home, though stern and reserved
20 the white men who are his natural
enemies and not his 'brothers, as the
good old chief Tuebec called them.
Let Ms try justice and mercy, and let
us take counsel with the Indian, and
not rule him like tyrant as we have
done. The Piute, at least, is compe-
tent to Judge of his own affairs. His
whole life is one of mutual counsel with
his fellows, and this has been the edu-
cation that has preserved his individ-
uality and many rare virtues. Do not
any longer call him q barbarian. Wher
ever he is so it is his "while brothers.
who lave made him SO. He has never
been guilty of any cruelty or atrocity
that has not been practiced by the tpro-
fessors of Christianity, as in the Dutch
wars and other mutual prosecutions of
Christian sects. He is an exceptionally
noble being, instead of degraded one.
No native can be degraded that has
preserved the virtues of truth and chas-
tity. We may well veil our faces be-
fore him and it is cheering in the midst
of our corruption to turn to race that
has preserved its integrity through all
trials. We shall be all the better for
taking it into the ranks of citizenship.

An Arkansas Negro's Memory.

NOW UTItaNs
A negro with remarkable memory
has been discovered at Little Rock.
He was employed by contractor to
get out certain stones of a specified
weight and weighing several car loads.
When the car was unloaded complaint
was made that some were too large and
others too small, but to the surprise of
the contractor the negro gave the ex-
act weight of each to the fraction of
pound, although there were no marks
to distinguish one stone from another.
When asked the weight of stone he
had not handled it was found he could
give no idea of it.
