THE Canadian Government seems de-
termined to make an example of Riel, the
leader of the Red river rebellion. They
pardOned and condorei his first offense,
but are fixed IN their purpose to punish
the second, His was a criminal act OF
Jolly, but there is much to be said in
mitigation of it. The half-breeds of Win
nepeg, with whom he is identified,
by ties of consanguinity and leadership,
were robbed OF their lands by the con-
nivance and consent Of office-holders, and
they were without remedy in law or legis-
lstion. They petitioned and implored a
remedy for the evils they were beset
by and the crimes of which they
were the victims, but in vain. The
authorities paid no attention to
them and they reluctantly concluded
that revolution was their only hope. Riel,
an enthusiastic sYmpathizar and their
leader, responded 10 Il cir demands upon
him and the standard Of revolt was hoisted.
The contest was OF brief duration and
brought only death, disaster and ruin to the
rebels. THIS ought to be considered by
the Canadian authorities in dealing with
hiel, WHO, If he is contiu ed for a term q
years, viii fully eatisfy the law without
arous NJ the rsce feeling of the Canadians
the hail breeds and the Indians.

AN imp rtan, educa .onal movement
has been set on foot j. Boston by the
presidents Of Harvard. Yale, Brown,
Smith, Tufts, Amherst, Dartmouth and
other colleges, looking 20 the establish
men, o. a New ENGLAND association of col
ieges and preparatory schools. The plan
proposed is as follows: Toe colleges
shall create a National Board of Examina-
tion, which shell caref0liy examine pre-
parstory schools, ard grant to such as
meet the requirements the power to issue
to such OF its graduates as are quail
fled a certificate which shall admit
them without examination to any of the
associated colleges. The colleges for this
purpose must agree upon common
standard Of admission. The Examining
Board will offer counsel and suggestion, as
well as simply investigate, and the pre-
paratory schools will thus gain the advan-
tage OF the knowledge and experience OF
the best educators" This is an excellent
plan, ard must sooner or later be adopted
by all the colleges and preparatory schools
of the country. 1t will raise the standard OF
efficiency and will give to diplomas and
certificates higher value than the best OF
then, have now, besides securing 10 the
country more efficient educators.

how much he loved the Great Father,
aud to ask for more beef aud blankets
the President told the interpreter to
say he was very busy, and turned I"
the next group OF callers.
Old Sitting Bull, spoiled by past in
dulgences and with his head turned II
little, perhaps, by adulaiiOns of til.
crowds since he became II horseback
artist, Went out grumbling his dis
pleasure. The interpreter tried u
soothe him i'm vain. He explained t,
him that the Great Father was pressed
for time, and it was quite favor tina,
they had secured even the brief audi
snce. Said the interpreter: - There
are pale faces .WhO have been waiting
here many moons for chance t.
speak to the Great Father, and haven't
done as well as We have"

GlimpSeS Of Revolutionary Times.
Synopsis Of an Address Delivered ut Ravenna
Ohio, July Iih. 1855. by B. A.
Hinsdale.

The anniversary of Independence Day
offers as an unfailing supply of interest,
profitable and inspiring themes. Passing
the more ambitious of these by, shall
simply offer you to day some glimpses of
revolutionary times.
TERRITORY AND POPULATIoN.
At the breaking out of the revolution,
England owned the eastern side of the
North American continent, from the
Gulf of Mexico to the frozen sea. But
the revolutionary movement was con-
fined to the narrow strip of coast between
the st. Mary's and the Penobscot. The
Spaniards in Florida and the French in
Canada, alike subjects of the English
king, had no part and no lot in the war.
This coast is only the fringe to the con-
tinent, and even this was settled and i'm
proved only in spots. Few settlements
had been made two hundred miles from
the scashore. About one half of the thiT-
| teen States claimed the Mississippi river
rs their western boundary, but their
western lands added nothing to their pop
uIation or resources. Save Niagara,
| Pittsburg, Knoxville, Detroit, and two

| try, solitude and the savages reignpd SUI
preme beyond the mountains. No, there
were Boone and his hunters i'll Kentucky,
patriotically naming their settlement
| Lexington. Every State touched the sea
and had an outlook toward Europe.
Maine was a province of Massachusetts,
and Vermont, the home of the redoubta-
ble Green mountain bOys was claimed
both by New Hampshire and New York.
Mr.. DeBOw estimates the population in
l775, at 2, ,sO3, 900, 2,3O3OOO whites and 800,
900 slaves. A number that falls short by
more than half million of the present
population of Ohio. This population was
