down, and one Thomas Scott was shot
When Col. Wolseley, now Gen. Lord
Wolseley, and the Canadian militia, to
the number Of about 1000, appeared in
front OF Fort Garry. Riel fed to Mon
tana and the provisional government
was dissolved. In that time some con-
cessions were made to the half-breeds oil
Manitoba, each of them getting 240
acres OF land. This satisfied the half
breeds of that province. The present
outbreak is owing to the fact that the
half-breeds of the remaining portions
of the northwest were not similarly
| treated. What Riel now wants Is to get
| for the other half-breeds what the in
surrection of 1859 got for the people OF
Fort Garry.
Riel's father before him was rebel.
He lead an outbreak against the Hudson
Bay Company before that association
sold its lands to the Canadian govern
ment. This little private instruction
/ enriched the elder Riel and made HIM
one of the small great men of his local
ity. The spirit of revolt is, therefore, in
the blood of Louis Riel. His father was
ambitious to make his son gentleman
and to school him in all the ways of the
white mans culture. The youth was
strong, bold, black eyed boy, with mixed
barbaric and French natures stirring in
his lawless, restless soul. He was sent
to q Canadian college, He learned cas-
lily, but the discipline of the good fathers
who were his teachers made no impress
sion on him. He repealed the advances
of his schoolmates and shrank from
human companlonship like wild crea-
ture of the woods. At length by some
chance fellow student of refined, studi-
GUS disposition was thrown with Louis
Riel somewhat. He at once gained a
marvellous influence over the halfbreed
youth. Louis formed a strange and
strong attachment to the gentle comrade
of white blood. lie began to change, to
heed his tasks and the admonitions of
his teachers. His manners grew milder,
he began to be courteous and less re-
served to those around him. The wild
half-breed son of Rlel the rebel gave
promise of becoming a gentleman.
In weeks time all was changed
The gentle white schoolmate fell i'll one
day. The ailment developed into small
pox and he was removed t. the hospital
Young Riel pas ionately refused to re-
main at his lessons. He ran away from
college and followed the schoolmate to
the hospital cot-bed. He watched his
friend with dog-like devotion, devotion,
alas! that was all in vain. The young
man died of the plague.
From the day of his death Louis Riel
was little seen in towns and cities. He
lied to his woods up in the great Mani
toba country. All the wildness III hin
broke out again. From thatatime on he
dwelt among half-hreeds and Indians,
he boldest, strongest barbarian of them

You will often hear the farmers say
they, can not raise wheat any longer,
the land is played out etc. Now this
is not the case. Your seed has played
out and nothing else. Your land will
produce wheat for hundreds of years, the
same as it has done in England and
France, you will take the same care OF
your seed wheat as of your seed corn.
Sow the large, pump berries and you will
never complain of your land being play
ed out for wheat raising. Grade your
wheat and throw aside all the small and
imperfect berries.

WHOLESALE MASSACRE.
The most serious reports received
since the Riel uprising opened have
come within the past twenty-four hours.
They are to the effect that the garrison
at Fort Pitt had been killed by the In
dams The fort has been found in ruins
with no trace of the party there, made
up of a party of about thirty police, un-
der Inspector Dickans, and some twenty
civilians with their wives and children.
The only thing that seems possible to
have come to them is death by savage
hands. From the best information, the
garrison deserted the fort to take to
boats for fight down the river, and were
fred upon by Indians on the bank of |
The stream. It is thought by some that |
forty or more families from the Onion
ind Cold Lake districts had sought
'efuge in the fort, aud have been killed |
With the rest. A dispatch says that
Middleton started his forces in two di-
'isions to-day, and intends to open an
Ittack on Riel not later than tomorrow.
Among those believed killed at Fort
Pitt were Inspector Francis Dickens, son

BRIEF HISTORY OF RIrL.

Louis Riel, the leader of the present
revolt, is native of Manitoba, having
been born there Il years ago under the
old Hudson Bay regime. He is of French
ancestry but has some Indian blood in
his veins. He is well-educated, bold
and insinuating in his manners, and Just
the man to lead the half.breeds. When
the Hudson Bay Company sold the
greater part Of their lands TO the Cam
adian government in 1859, Riel COM
manded the half.breed insurrection
agninst the new authorities, and held
Fort Garry, near Winnipeg, for twelve
months. He established q provincial

CHRISTMAS SPIRITS.
A WEIRD GERMAN LEGEND OF

How a Child Celebrated Tho Day-A
Castle in Which an EVIL Spirit is Ruler
"A Peculiar Adventure.
Among the mountains of Bohemia
towers the high peak OF the Arber, a
landmark to all the country round. In
the clefts Of its jagged rocks, and on
the crests of its giant forests, the clouds
from far and wide find resting place
after their wanderings, and thankfully
feed the mountain-streams, which at
the foot of Mount Arber collect into a
little lake.
On the shore of the lake there stood,
many years ago, fsherman's hut,
built of wood and thatched with straw
and about stones s-throw from it, on
a steep height above the lake, castle
built of granite and rooted with copper.
In the hut there lived fisherman with
his boy; and to the castle there came
every year the Baron of Haldensteln.
He came for the hunting, either in au-
tumn or winter, according as stags or
wild bears were the attraction and he
brought with him ALWAYS wild crowd
of huntsmen an! dogs, and gentlemen
and ladies too, who were more
skillful with the huntIng-sp than
with the needle, and preferred the rid
ing whip to the spindle.
An evil spirit ruled in the castle.
The cellarer swore among his casks,
the cook among his scullions, the
huntsman among his hounds, the
Baron at the card-table when the
weather prevented his hunting, and
his wife among her maids. The
weathercocks creaked on the towers.

fire before battle. The Baron and
his companions drank till midnight
the servants, when they had helped
their masters to bed, kept it up a few
hours longer. At break of day the Old
housekeeper drove out the jewellers

busters were busy, and the maids

was no Sunday in the Baron's calen-
