An adjourned meeting OF sympathizers
with Louis Riel was held at Jacques Cartier
Hall square, Quebec, at which about 5000
were present. The meeting was addressed
by ii. J. Pelletier, secretary OF the COM
mittee and by other French Canadian
gentlemen. Owen Murphy, ex.mayor OF
Quebec, also spoke. He compared the
cause OF the half-breeds to that OF the Irish,
who, 1.-THE proper appeal were made, would,
he said, readily give the half-breeds their
support. The following resolution was
then adopted: Resolved, That in view OF
the fact hat all British subjects who are ac-
cused OF criminal offenses are entitled to Al
complete and impartial trial, and to at
tain that end considerable sums, must be
Forthcoming, a public subscription be taken
up, as the half-breeds have not the means
to attain that end.
Jurymen for the Riel trial have been Sc
lected from among the white settlers along
the line OF the Canadian Pacific railway.
Half-breeds and other sympathizers OF Riel
are o,bjecting because the jury will not be
miNeii. The trial will certainly begin on the
goth inst. Hon. William McDougal1, who
ranks high as q constitutional lawyer, in a
communication to the ottawa papers, en-
presses doubts OF the validity of Il court
trial of Riel as ut present constituted, and
contends hat Il s%tipendiary magistrate OF
the Northwest territories has not power
without the issue OF a special commission
from the crown. The Indictment is also
considered irregular.
The franchise act OF the dominion is kind
to Indians. 1t permits thousands OF de-
pendent Indians to vote and excludes tens

Prospect of q War With the Cheyenne
Indians.

For some time past there has been con-
siderable alarm in Kansas over thedistnrb-
ed condition OF the Cheyenne Indians in
the Indian Territory. The governor OF
Kansas called the attention OF the
government to the matter and vigorous
measures AVE been taken to subdue the
Indians and protect settlers. A large num-
Der OF troops have been concentrated on
the border. Gen. Sheridan has left Wash
ington Tor Fort Reno, Indian territory.
The general desired to be at the scene oIthe
conflict. A telegram has been sent to the
officer in command which says that the
outbreak must be suppressed even if the
Cheyennes are wiped out OF existence. Gen.
Miles is expected to arrive in the Indian.
Territory in II few days. The hope is ex-
pressed that he may be able to quiet the
disturbance without bloodshed. He iswell
known to the Indians, and is said to have
considerable influence over them. In a
trouble with the CEeyenncs some years ago
they surrendered to him voluntarily.
Gen. Schotieid notified Gen. Terry, to
hold in readiness to march at an hours
notice seven companies OF troops, to be
sent to the scene OF che Indian troubles on
the border OF Southwestern Kansas and
the Indian Territory, ii it was considered
necessary.
The president addressed the following let
ter to Gen. Sheridan:
Executive Mansion, Washington, d. c.,
July 10, 1SS5.-Lieut. Gen. Phil H. Sher-
idan-Sir: In view OF the possible disturb
ances that may occur among the Indians
now in the Indian Territory, and the con-
templated concentration of troops in that
locality, / deem it desirable that you pro.
coed at once to the location where trouble
is apprehended and advise with ind direct
those in command as to the steps to be
taken to prevent disorder and depreda-
tons by Indians. AS to the DISPOSE
ton OF the troops, your acquaint-
anee with the history and the habits ard
customs OF these Indians, leads me also to
request that you invite statements IN their
part az to any real or fancied injury or in
justice toward them, or any other cause
that may have led to discomfort, and to
inform yourself generally as to their condi-
ton. You are justified in assuring them
that any cause OF complaint will be fully
examined by the authorities here, and If
wrongs exist they shall be remedicd. I
think / Ii hardly need add hat they must be
fully assured OF the determination on the
part of the government to enforce their
peaceful conduct, and by all the power it
has at hand to prevent and punish acts OF
lawlessness and any outrages upon our set
tiers. Yours truly,
GROVER CIEvEL&ED.
Gen. Sheridan started for the West to
carry out the presidents instructions.

An Heroic Cure for the Opium
Habit.

A pathetic story has lately come to
my knowledge OF a young man, an I'M
dergraduate in an eastern college, who
had become a victim OF the hypoder-
mic use OF morphia. He went with
his father, who was engaged in the
numbering interest, into the prlmeval
forests of Maine, hoping that during
his stay OF months with the wood
choppers he would beable to fight out
the battle of gradual abandonment
successfully. Through a strange ia
tality, when theparty had just arrived
at their campingplace, and We're trans
porting their goods across a stream,
the case OF moIphia was broken by an
apparent accident and it's contents
scattered into the water. None but
the haggard young man could, at the
moment, comprehend the appalling
magnitude of the calamity-there, as
he was, two hundred miles from the
nearest settlement! He survived the
terrible ordeal, but no words could ex-
press, he has said, the fortunes and
agony through which he passed dur
ing the succeeding weeks. He was
closely watched, else at times, he
would have drowned himself or have
beaten his brains out on the rocks.
Months afterward he came backtot the
world q skeleton, worm and hasgald
from his terrible contest 1t was an
experience to which he could never az
terward refer without the most pain
full emotions.
Not theleast significant point in this
veritable account is the fact theyoung
man always believed that his father
purposely brought about the catas-
trophe for the sake Of bringingmatters
to a speedy end! Has the usualtreat-
ment of the disease by physicians at
this day anything to offerthatis much
better than this mans summary

The court OF Appeals OF New York
having pronounced the oleonlargarine
law Unconstitutional, and thefactthat
the Minnesota law is identical with
the New York law, in it's main pro-
vision, it becomes interesting to know
exactly what the law is in hothstates.
The section of the statute considered
by The court reads as follows: s.Noi
person shall manufacture out Of any
ol%eaginous substances, or any com.
pound of the same, other than that
produced from unadulterated milk or
cream of the same, or shall sell or offer
20 sell the same az an article OF food.
This provision shall not apply to pure
skim milk cheese produced from pure
skim milk" The Minnesota law cor
responds, word for work with the
above. The counsel for the State in
argument frankly argued that stif the
sole object OF the statute were to pro-
tect the dairy industry ofthe State
against the substitution OF a cheaper
article, made from cheaper materials,
this would not be beyond the powero Of
the legislature. This, says the
Court is the real question presented
in the case, and itgoes into the SUBJ

SOME PRACTICAL INFORMATION


of Cholera -Imprudenoes.
iseienuls Americana
Frank II. Mason, United States con
sui at Macseilles, France, has forwarded
to the department of state, Washington,
some practical information concerning
tho prevention and treatment of cholera.
His conclusions are derived from the
studies Of the epidemic of 1884 and pre-
ceding years in that city. He says hat
IN its choice of victims cholera is most
precise and definite. With rare excep-
tons the victims belong to one of Che
following classes. those who live un-
der bad HYGIENE conditions in respect
to eating and drinking and exposure;
those weakened and debilitatod by al
coholic excess; and those who suffer
from chronic digestive weakness o de
rangement.
Among the imprudences which be-
como dangerous in the presence OF chol-
era are %oyoreating to the extent of pro
ducing lethargy or indigestion, drink
ing any liquid SO as 10 check the process
OF digestion, eating raw vegetables in
the form of salads, and, in general, the
use Of raw fruits, unless perfectly fresh
and ripe. Drinking cold water, or beer,
after having eaten raw fruit is a direct
challenge L cholera, which no person,
however strong and healthy, can afford
to risk. The susceptibility Of drunk
ards to choleraic influences is proved
by abundant evidences, among which
may be cited the sweeping fatality of
the disease wherever it attacked in
mates Of inebriate asylums. Anything,
in fact, whether of II temporary or
chronic nature, which impairs the yigor
of the digestive organs, exposes per
sons thus weakened to choleraic at
tacks.
Mr.. Mason gives as the most effective
destroyer of cholera germs in excretions
the following solutions: Solution of sui
phate Of copper in the proportion of not
less than = unce to / quart OF water
liquid chloride of zinc, / ounces to a
quart Of water; bichloride of mercury,
1-6 ounce to / quart of water; bichlo-
ride Of copper, > ounces to a quart of
water, sulphuric acid, 4 ounces to a
quart of water. The same chemicals
are used for distinction Of water
closets, sinks, and all other seats of de-
cay or infection.
Tor washing streets and drains,
sulphate Of iron, 10 pounds in 800
gallons of water, or liquid chloride of
zine, 20 pounds in go gallons, has
been found most effective and practic-
able. Picnic acid, in the pro
portion OF 10 pounds to go gallons
of water, was largely used at Marseilles
last year, but the results were less salts
factory than expected, some experts
even going so far as to affirm that the
picnic principle preserved rather than
destroyed tine germs of the contagion.
lie says that in the face Of a cholera
epidemic diarrhNa is a serius illness,
and should be treated accordingly. He
also says that, as "A popular remedy for
immediate use, nothing has been found
superior to chlorodyne, sold by most
druggists.

burning Incense at Home.

AF"NN RNANNNHA
The agreeable fashion of burning
pastilles and fragrant herbs in rooms
that are apt TO grow ''stuffy" in damp
weather, is almost n substitute for a fire
on the hearth which puriies and cheers
the whole house. Ever since the mania
for japanese decorations came in, there
has been a demand for the delicious
pastilles or reeds" which are the con-
densation of eastern fragrance, and
their use has brought about a greater
love for aromatic odors of a refined and
purifying nature. The subtle sweetness
%permeating articles that come from
China or Japan will last for years and
affect the atmosphere, not merely of the
room they are in, but Of the entire
house.
There is not a Rimmel or a Lubin in
Europe that can produce this %intoxicat-
ing, and, if II may say so, high-bred
perfume from the Orient, try as he may.
A buncho of Japanese pastilles, shoulder
ing one at n time in a little incense
burner, will last several weeks, while
for olfactories disliking any perfume,
however delicate, a bit Of gum oamphor
or little stack of pine needles produces
a most refreshing odor while burning.
Pine needles can be gathered by the
bushel, and kept all winter to be thrown
on coal fires in city houses, or burnt by
themselves in n Of those little chatting
dishes for which Japanese art is famous.
