Louis Riel was first heard of in 1860, the year
in which the Canadian Government bought the
greater part OF the lands owned py the houso I
came a part of the Canadian Confederation,
and the Government undertook to survey the
whole country with the view OF making aliot-
ments of land to settlers. Surveyors were then
employed In laying out the country In sec
tons" of square miles, to be subdivided
measured of apparently without regard
either to the natural features OF the coun-
try or to the habtations or claims OF the
settlers, mainly half breeds, who are already III
possession. Even when the half breed has not
established a habitation he has staked out y
claim and has located II, as matter OF
course with the greatest possible frontage upon
one of the rivers, which are the only highways
of the wilderness. No record existing anywhere
of these Gains, the Government at Ottawa
has disposed of many of them to persons who
had acquired no rights by settlement, but who
had complied, as the half-breeds IN possession
had failed to comply, with the requirements OF
the law. One day as surveyor ana MS
men were surveying base line through
some property Riel. who, was followed

Our Little Joe.

In q newsboys' home visitor OBJ
served child's high-chair standing IN
q corner of the dining-room.
"Have you child here?" he asked
the matron.
"No. That is our little Joe's," she
said.
A sudden silence followed. Even
the boys standing near checked their
noise and skirmishing for a few min
utes.
"Who was Joe?" asked the visitor.
"a little fellow" said the matron,
"who came to us when he was but SIX
years old. He was hump-back' and
cripple, never having grown after he
was five. He was a bright, pushing
little fellow, and very affectionate
child. He slept here and took most OF
his meals here. That is his chair. L
/ gave it to him. The superintendent
said L favored him. Well, 1 was fond
of Joe.
"We have savings bank into which
the boys put their pennies or dimes
every week. It gives them the habit
of economy. Joe began saving when.
he first came to us. He would bring
his five or ten cents every Saturday,
laughing.
81 am saving up to have home of
my own when 1 am grown up he
would say.
"He had neither father nor mother,
nor any kinsfolk, and 1 don't know
what was the boys idea of home of
his own. He was very happy here-a
sort of ruler among the other boys. Yet
he went on saving, and always for that
purpose.
"He was never q strong boy, and
when he was sixteen heavy cold he
took went to his lungs. 1t only needed
day or two to make an end Of his
poor little body. One day he said to
me, just after the clergyman had been
with him:
"'That money I've saved it will bs
enough to pay the doctor and buy a
coffin for me-
"'But, Joe,' I said, how about the
nome or your own Pc -
HE did not answer me at first, and
then he smiled, saying, That's all
rightl' and he held my hand tight. I'll
have it. That's all right
"The next day it was all over. We
took Joe's money and paid the doctor
and bought him coffin. 1t didn't need
a big one. The boys dubbed together,
giving ten cents each, and bought him
a lovely pillow of white roses, with
Our joe upon it. Every boy got a
tag of black on his arm to go to the
funeral. He had his own home then,
sir. But wherever he was, / think the
roses pleased him."
She fell behind as we passed on and
busted little Joe'e chair with her apron,
setting it reverently apart into quiet
corner

JapaneSe Animals.

Some of the animals in Japan are
quite different from the same spe-
oios which are-sesn I'M Amerioa.--The
cats, for instance, have the shortest
kind of tails, or else none at all. Being
deprived of this usual plaything, they
are very solemn pussies. An Ameri-
can once took one of these tailless cats
to San Francisco as q curiosity, and it
utterly refused companionship with the
long-tailed feline specimens there; but,
finding cat whose tail had been cut
off by accident, the two became friendly
at once. Japanese dogs are almost
destitute of noses, having the nostrils
set directly in the head. The smaller
the nose, the more valuable the breed.
The goldfish of that country have re-
markedly wide aud beautiful tails, which
look like lace. 1t is said that 81 900
was offered by New York gentleman
for the'first pair which could be brought
to that city alive, but repeated attempts
have proved that the fish cannot stand
the voyage across the Pacific.

Apparent Transfer Of Motion.

The common sensation experienced
by travellers of transferring the motion
of adjacent railway car to the car in
which they are seated at rest is ex-
planned by an old principle that the
mind infers from habit that when two
bodies are relatively in motion the mo-
ton belongs to the larger body. The
car on the adjacent track occupies a
larger field of vision than the car in
which the traveller is seated, and he i'm

GENERAL MENTION.
funny circumstance has happened
in regard to the village of Roscommon.
A new charter passed through both
houses, in which was q provision that
all who vote ut their first election (desig-
mated in the bill to be held on a certain
day. must have resided there ut least
ninety days. Those who didn't like the
clause let il go on the ground that it was a
local bill, aud they should have it rs they
wanted it. Surprising. of course, that the
Governor would approve the bill, the cleo
ton was held last week, and now the
Governor refuses 10 sign il, as the
constitution distinctly says that voters must
reside in the State three months, but only
ten days in the township. So the bill pro-
poses TO require more of the voters than the
State Constitution, and, il signed, would
be unconstitutional. All the recently
elected officers arc, therefore, out in the
cold again, and, unless the Objectionable
feature is taken out of the bill, il will never
become law.
For several sessions of the Legislature
the time for the completion of the Mar
quetts, Houghton and Ontonagon Railroad
has been extended. Tho Senate did its part
on the LIST toward granting another extension
to May 1. 1887, and the House will doubt
less concur.

Caum, master mechanic of tho middle di-
vision, Pennsylvania railroad, died at the

esday evening she expired, of exhaustion.
Mrs. Caum was the daughter of John Wright,
esq, late of Miffiintown, Juniata county,
who was prominent and very well-known
citizen of that place until his death several
years since. Mrs. Caum was forty-seven
years of age, and leaves four brothers and
four sisters TO mourn her loss. S he was the
mother of ten children, six of whom are
dead, three dying within five days OF each
other, Of diptheria, few years ago. One

Almost every day accounts of the sue
cessful operations of men in the west are
rel ated, but for every one that succeeds
hundreds do not, and Of the latter class men,
tion is never made. A reporter of the HOl-
lidays Register ran across one of the latter
class and mentions it as follows: A former
Blair countian named Tom Brandon, aged
about fifty years, arrived in Pittsburg, one
day last week, in a sorry plight. His
clothes were all torn, and one foot was en-
eased in a shoe in the last stage of disinte-
grafton, while the other one, which was
badly frozen, was wrapped in piece of red
flannel. He told reporter his story of life
and said that he had LETT home sixteen years
ago with $500 to seek his fortune anu after
roaming all over the Southwest he was now
on his way home from Texas. He claimed
his homo was in tho Loop, about seven miles
from Holliday5burg, and seemed very anx-
ious to see the old farm. The last seen of
him he was woeiully gazing toward the
easf.

sensation of itching. The scalp is diseased.

borough and township histories. The work
will also contain biographies, and will be
suitably illustrated with old time scenes,
historic and public building, Portraits, fac
SMILES of old records, maps OF old routes,
etc. The mechanical execution, paper,
binding, ETC., will be good, making two
Royal Octave volumes of from 500 to 700
pages each. Size of type page, 81 81

given.
