RIEL'S PRIVATE DIARY.
Things that Were Revealed to Him by the
Spirit of God.
Toronto Special.


To-day are published extracts from the private
diary of Louis Riel, which was found by General
Middleton among other papers at Batoche. The
Journal is written in large black ledger and
begins abruptly as below, without any heading
or date 1t is written in French, in fair hand
and III full, with al the accents and punctuation
marks. The original is now in the possession of
Major Jarvis Of Winnipeg Following are some
of the most readable extracts from the diary:
Tine spirit Of God has revealed to me that a
battle has taken place about two miles on this
side of Duck Lake This has not been an
nounced to me verbally butha been commun
Gated to my spirit in more decided way than
the form which an ordinary thought usually
takes. | am morally certain that an event of
this kind has taken place, because it has been
revealed to me that the Crees have in this rem
dered us great service The divine communi
cation itself terminated in" an even more pre-
else form, saying to me: You will give to
Tchekikam whatever he shall ask Of YOU
The spirit of God has spoken to me of the
police. My God has condescendtd to say to me
if YOU miss them by this road (EIis Holiness
pointed out to me the road which passes before
the church of st. Antoine and ascends) you will
still have time to take them. 1t would only
remain for you to take them on the hill
The spirit of God pointed out to me the hill
which is above Bstoche. The spirit Of God has
made me hear the voice of Michael Dumas,
which said TO Riel Your ideas are just The
spirit of God shows me a measure of merchan-
ulSe. On the bottom or the measure are written
the following words: The bowels Of the North
Oh, my God. grant me, for the love Of Jesus. of
Mary Of Joseph and St John the Baptist the
grace to conquer the North and to be master of
al ttfs IS sp OF GOD makes me hear the
voices of the recruits, who say to me: Shoot
first We have not yet fired upon the enemy.
The spirit of God has revealed TO me cues
ton which it is important to put to the warriors
They have not seen the Indians, suppose. The
spirit of God said his people were not numerous.
They must be well placed and well watched
Oh! Cod pray Thee in the name of Jesus, of
Mary and Joseph, be pleased to sustain me
when alone. Support me in the enterprise and
in the army. Since Thou art my support, help
me. Thou alone art able. On! grant to guard
the enemy and the entire council against
Maxine Lepine. Give me grace to treat him
gently and with humility, but sincerely and
frankly, so that he may change his conduct, and
he may cease to have a feeling of repugnance
and hostility toward us. On account of the kind
feelings which he has had toward me, grant him
the opportunity to return with good grace to
all those ideas with which Thou hast inspired
me-"
1t is thought Riel read these entries entries in
his diary, which have no dates to a meeting OF
half breeds, divine inspiration he had received.
in order that he could more easily work upon
the feelings of these superstitious people.
