Saved by n Joke.


In one of the battles of the late war
Col. Robert G. Ingersol was ordered to
advance with his regiment upon a squad
of Confederates that was hidden in a
grove on the right of the line. After a
short contest his command broke and
fled in disorder, so that when the smoke
lifted he found himself surrounded by
fifteen or twenty gray coats, with mus
kets at their shoulders in attitudes
ready to fire. Taking in his peril at a
glance, he waved his hand to them to
desist, and said:
Il have been thinking over the condi-
ton of affairs for the past second and a
half very seriously, and gentlemen,
have come to the conclusion that l shall
acknowledge the southern Confederacy."
He beamed upon them with his sun
NEST smile and While they stood dumb
founded at his cool presence of mind he
adroitly wheeled around and putting
spurs to his horse was out of gunshot
before they recovered from their amaze
ment. Ever after this he was known as
the Yankee colonel who saved his life by

Some time ago we took occasion to
direct the attention of our readers to
the Manitoban project of communication
with Europe via Hudson's bay, and it is
as well, now that the matter has taken
definite shape, that we should acquaint
them with its progress. The scheme is,
in brief, to construct a railroad from
Winnipeg to Fort Churchill, on Hud-
sons bay, whence steamers will convey
freight to Liverpool. As q mat
ter of course, the enterprise
depends upon the settlement OF
the question, considered very doubtful
at present, whether the straits forming
the entrance to the bay are free from
ice long enough to permit of its being
conducted with profit In the mean
time railway from Winnipeg to For
Churchill has been chartered with LAND
grant of II, 500 acres per mile, and the
steamer Neptune, with scientific expe
dition commanded by Lieut.. Gordon, oil
the British navy, either has sailed or i.
on the point of sailing from Halifax tt

the straits That is the state of the cas-.
