NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

His Excellency the Minister of
Foreign Affairs has received q letter
from the Hon. DR.. ;. Mott Smith,
Hawaiian Commissioner to the New
Orleans Exposition, of which the
following is on abstract:-
1.-The hawaiian exhibit is now in
place, and rs arranged it makes u
fair and interesting show. As u
description will hardly convey to
your mind its appearance, it is my
purpose to have photographs taken
to send on. 1t draws many visitors,
keeping the attendant very busy an
swering questions and imparting in
formation about our islands. 1 have
been surprised with the many per-
sons who ask about the King, say
ing they have either met or seen him
during his visits to this country.
The photographs of him, as of men,
bers of the Royal Family, are the
first things which command atten-
ton.
''After much running from one
Office to another, | was told to pre-
pare a list and send it in and hav-
ing done so, the printer called on
me shortly after and said he must
be paid for all the predatory state
ment which | had made, as well as
for explanations of the articles
themselves, his contract with the
management calling only for bare
names. In the official catalogue,
therefore, will only appear list of
the articles in our exhibit. | shall
do what other exhibitors are doing
namely, write up what facts and
information may be deemed advis-
able to give the public, have it
printed in small pamphlet, and
kept in our place for gratuitous dis
tribution. Many visitors ask for
such pamphlet to take with them"

blue with red trimmings and the

beautifully made and fit like book.
BY the Mariposa, the helmets, belts,
swords, etc, have been received
from the Pettibone Manufacturing
Co., Cincinnati. The helmets are
of cork, white with gold trimmings,
and monogram in front surmounted
by crown. Those for the officers

HONOLULU RIFLES.

Part of the uniforms for the above
corps arrived by the Mariposa. The
privates have received their coats,
pants, and fatigue caps. The uni
forms for the commissioned officers
will be here by the Alameda. Four
nickel-plated drums for the drum
corps also arrived. The coats are
of army blue with red facings, the
pants of light blue with red stripe
about an inch and a half wide. The
fatigue caps are very nobby-looking.
These entire outfits have been made
by the firm of Plate & Co., San
Francisco, and for specimens of
superior work cannot be excelled.
Everything is well made, the coats
are light and particularly suited to
this climate. The firm is to be highly
congratulated on the excellent man
ner in which they have turned out
these uniforms. Mr.. Harry Plate,
the head of the firm, will arrive by
the Alameda on the 2Srd with the
balance of the uniforms. Some OF
the boys were trying them on last
evening and are highly gratified at

There are many little matters
which enter into good manners,
which must be so learned as to be
habitual, if we practise them at all.
For example, manners at table in
volve certain forms of eating, the
disposal of hands, the observance of
acts of politeness, all of which should
be constantly practised, in order to
become natural. So in general
society, the art of being agreeable
involves great delicacy and tact.
Too much or too boisterous CONVEX
sation; frigid or uninterested man
ner; lack Of agreement in the discus
sion of topics, the assertion of per-
sonal peculiarities, and much else,
are entirely out of order.

forms Now, ladies, the next thing
they require are some silk colors.

A STARTLED kAMAAINA,

A man by the name OF Brown,
who left our sunny shores some
years ago, and who returned by the
Mariposa, was strolling down Fort
street yesterday, when he CHANGED to
meet Jones, one of his former ac-
quaintances. Brown was surprised
to see him attired in dress suit,
with silk hat and big diamond
pin on his shirt front, so he enquired:
Been to funeral to-day
Why, bless you, no.
"No! l see you have got your
best clothes on; have you given up
the sugar plantation"
"Sugar plantation should say
so. | am running n skating rink

Why, he is teaching class Of
bushy-headed maidens to skate.
Poor Green"
"Great heavens! / never thought
this would come to pass. lie was
cut out for a minister. Say, Dan,
what became Of your dog Carlo?"
"Darned if the dog didn't get the
fever, and one day sneaked in be-
hind the place where / keep skates
to hire, put on pair and rolled out
on the floor, just as nice as any
human being, when all of a sudden
his hind pair of skates got mixed up
with his tail, which tripped him up
and he fell and broke his neck. Poor

of his sad and tragic fate"

The Northern Pacific farmer., 1885-04-09

representative form Of government The
population of all Manitoba at that time wis
about ia, 900, the proportion of whites I'd
half-breeds being abont one to seven .or
eight An agrarian feature of the Manitoba
act is what has led TO the present difficulty.
AS tntimated above, the titles of half breeds
to their lands were not very distinct, and
many Of the people were doubtless squatters.
By the Manitoba act there were 1,4OO, 900
acres Of land set apart for half breed infants;
subsequent grants were made OF land
and scrip to the half-breed heads of
families. Afterwards came an order divid-
ing up the / 400, ,0G0 of land, so as to grant
to each half breed child born prior to July l,
1870, parcel of 24O acres Free
APPORTIoNING THE LAND.
There wore many difficulties met with in
apportioning out land. The tracts possessed
by the French half-breeds along the crooked
myers Of Canada were in most cases long
parallelOgrams, with a narrow river frontage
and extending back inland These the do
minion surveyors were obliged to cut up
and divide up in manner that seemed ut
terly reckless to the poor half-breeds, and
there were many protests and threats.
Then there had been delays and more or less
dissatisfaction from the beginning. On the
other hand the law of apportonment was
appreciated to such an extent that half
breed infants came to be at q premium and
it is even said that children were transferred
from one family to another in order
to obtain land Next, lands were
placed in chanoery until the chill
dren should have come of age, with the spe-
cial stipulation that they should be consid-
cred to have attained their majority at eight

THE NORTHWESTERN INDIANS
There arc 80, 900 Indians-Crees, Black
feet, few Sioux renegades, fewer Beavers
and Assinaboines-in the three districts
named above, and Of these 5000 are armed
flghtlng men. How many of the 5000 Will
join in an outbreak, If there is an outbreak,
is a question the government is anxious to

are scattered all over most difficult country

and vexatous Chief Joseph and Sitting Bull
