of them are homeopathists, for they find
that prevention is the best treatment for
their ailments. Nine hours a night-or

The question was Could She sing 50 ex-

an empty stomach. I contend that in either
case she could not have done herself JUS

cause when you sing you draw the blood
up to your head your emotions are e1-
cited, and that carries the blood away from
the stomach to the brain, before The stom-
ach has done It's work. Managers over
here have not sufficient respect for q sing
er's organization. They expect that an
artist can do equally well under all cir
cumstances. In Europe, where art is bet
ter understood less is demanded of singer
in respect to quantity, though more per
haps in respect to quality. Here the au-
dience and the box office are too often Of
more account to the manager than the rep
utation of his prima donna. l argue that
singers should not be obliged to sing when
they cannot do their best. They are not

admitted that she does find good deal in
this simple process. There is certain ex-
element about the very atmosphere Of the
opera house. She arrives at the stage-door
feeling out of sorts and less like singing
than anything in the world, but by the
time She reaches her dressing-room and the
preparations for her appearance in the

The Row in Manitoba.

Sixteen years ago, after the creation OF the
Dominion of Canada, the Province of Mani
toba was placed under Lieutenant Governor,
William McDougall, and called the ''North-
west Territory" At that time Manitoba
contained a little over IL 200 inhabitants, a
little more than half of whom were French
half breeds, and the balance English half
breeds, whites and Indians.
The French half.breed found leader in
Louis Riel-a bold, adventurous, daring fel-
low-who urged them to resist the entrance
of Gov. McDougall into the settlement until
some guarantee had been received that the
rights of the inhabitants should be protected.
The insurgents, as they were called by the
Canadians, and the patriots, as they called
themselves, held out for ten months and
formed a Provisional Government, with Rel
as President, and Council of twenty four,
half French and half English.
The outbreak had two results. 1t created
the accident of Gen. Wolseley, which Eng
land may now find costly one, and it secured
the Territory a representation in the Dominion
Parliament.
Wolseley then a colonel of the Sixtieth
Rifles, entered Fort Garry and subdued the
rebellion. Riel went to the Dominion Parlia-
ment, but took no part in legislation.
At the time of the settlement of the diff
culties, the promise was made that Bill OF
Rights demanded by the Provisional Govern
ment should be passed by the Domin-
ion Parliament. The people of Manitoba
have been trihed with ever since and the new
instruction is the result.
No doubt the halfbreeds have just cause
for complaint, and at present it looks as if the
trouble would assume proportions as threat
enng as that of 1869. Indeed it is said that
| the Dominion Government is already pre-
pared to make concessions and overtures fol-
peace. Probably this is the wisest course
that can be pursued. If the Indians shoulC
be induced to join the halfbreeds' rising, tn,
suppression of the rebellion may not only cos
many lives, but may bring to the surface an
other military humbug like Gen. Wolseley.

First Aid to the Injured.
From the Courier. Journal.

From the Courier Journal.
Femme Boston is attending this winter
emergency lectures. These are, no doubt,
of value.
If girl slip down and sprain her ankle,
instead of being obliged to wait till some man
picks her up and sends her home in a cab,
she quietly takes off her shoe and stocking,
tucks her skirts to one side, and performs the
necessary surgical operation on the spot.
If she feels faint at ball, instead of looking
around for man to whom she has been in
trodueed, and into whose arms she can with
out immodesty fall, she quietly sits down on
the nearest chair, sends her escort for a few
simple remedies, and applies them herself.
Suppose during those beautiful snowy days
she is run away with-run away with by a
horse, mean. While the horse is tearing
along looking for a convenient lamppost to
use in breaking the sleigh, the Boston girl,
with the GOODNESS of Galen and the quiet dig
nifty of Hippocrates, selects from her bag
some Eniment, one or two splints, and anum-
Der of strips of linen, and when at last she is
thrown across the horses back against the
side of house, instead of screaming or faint
ing, she applies the liniment ready in hel
hand, bandages up the fractures, and walks
quietly home to send one of the grooms foI
her horse.
beheYe later IN the season some OF the
lectures are to be PRACTICAL and we shall be
told how to smile upon a mosquito so that he
will refuse to modest us, or how to frown upon
wasp SO that the wasp will drop dead with
fright, or how to convince ones self at mo
ment' S notice that mouse is more timid than
100 pound girl, and quite unable to scale q
dress, either on the inside or out. unless help
ed by ladder.
You see there is no nonsense about these
lectures; the girls are honestly benefited by
them, and they are becoming more and more
popular.

The Westminster correspondent of the San,
in reporting the above, has taken unwarranted
liberty with gentlemen's names, and given a
very incorrect impression. Careful inquiry
fails to confirm that rumor even has connected
number of the gentlemen with the positions
spoken of. Col Maulsby, E. 0. Grimes and
d. N. Henning are not aspirants for any fed
eral position; and of the persons "spoken Off
for postmaster here, Mr.. Jos. B. Boyle is
perhaps the only gentleman who is an appii-
cant. Mr.. Macintosh has no idea of being
deputy marshall and few, if any, ever men
toned him for that position.
Such reports are annoying to the gentlemen
whose names are so freely used. They also
create the impression that there is an inor-
dinate desire for office among the Democrats
of Carroll, when such is not the fact.
The Sun prides itself upon its reliability,
but when appraised of the inaccuracy of the
report of its correspondent, and its annoyance
to those whose names were used, it was not
in accord with its sense of propriety and fair
dealing to make correction.

More Beautiful Spring.

A snow storm, the heaviest there for ten
years. set in at Fortress Monroe last Sunday
morning at three o'clock, and continued all
day Eight inches of snow fell at Peters
burg, Virginia, the same day.
Last Friday night, on the top of Mount
Washington, is described as having been ter
rife beyond description. A northwest wind
blew with velocity of 100 to 140 miles per
hour, and the spirit thermometer registered a
temperature of As degrees below zero.
Saturday morning was the coolest known
in New York in March since 1872, the tenn
perature at 8 o'clock being above zero.
Last Friday night was one ofthe coolest of the
season at Easton, Pennsylvania, and on Sat
urday evening the Delaware at that point, for
the first time this year, was frozen from shore
to shore. The Morris Canal and the Lehigh
Canal and river were frozen from Easton to
Mauch Chunk At this time last year the
Lehigh Canal was ready for navigation.
The temperature on Monday morning was
below the freezing point as far south as Mo-
bile The highest temperature reported was
IS above zero, at Key West, the lowest II
below zero in Michigan
Snow fell at Danville, Virginia, and in the
adjacent portions of North Carolina on Sunday
to depth of ten inches, and on Monday
morning the temperature in that region was
degrees below the freezing point. 1t is stated
that ''the tobacco plant beds are all under
cover and are not damaged. The fruit trees
and vines are too backward in budding to
have suffered injury. The wheat crop, which
was previously reported as greatly injured by
the unusual and continued cold of the winter,
will be benefited, as reports from the country
say, by these falls of snow"
A heavy frost in Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas on Sunday night and Monday morning
has done great damage to early vegetables
and fruits.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal was
opened to navigation on Monday by a power

ten inches of ice.

A New Governor.

The acceptance of the appointment of Min
lister to France by Gov. MeLane, deyolves the
governorship upon Henry Lloyd, of Dorches-
ter county, he being the President of the
Senate. Whenever vacancy occurs in the
Office Of Governor, by death or resignation, the
Legislature, if in session, elects a successor
for the residue of the term. If not in session,
then the President of the Senate becomes act
ing Governor until a Governor is elected,
either by the people or by the Legislature.
Gov. McLane has served only one-third of his
term of four years, and upon Mr.. Lloyd,
President of the Senate, will fall the duties OF
the Office of Governor until the Legislature
meets next January. Mr.. Lloyd is lawyer
by profession, thirty three years of age, and a
man of fair ability. Gov. McLane resigned
Yesterday and Mr. Lloyd assumed the COVER
norship. There was no ceremony about the
matter.
