HOW RlEl WAS CAUGHT.
Captured by Party OF Maj. Boulton' s
Scouts Friday Afternoon.

WINNIPEG. MAN, May IA dispatch
from Clark's Crossing says that soon after
the battle at Batoche il was ascertained that
Riel and some of his followers had made to-
ward the river, intending To join those who
had previously crossed. The steamer
''Northcote," with ''C'' infantry and some
of the 9oth battalion, went down to head
them Off A number of Maj. Boulton's
scouts meantime patrolled both banks of
the river. Friday afternoon they heard a
whistle from the steamer and some shots.
The party immediately went in the direction
of the shots, aud couple of miles below
Fishers crossing espied party of rebels
They challenged them and were shot at in
reply The scouts answered and then made
dash. The rebels quickly scattered, but
Riel was recognized, and at once became the
object of attention. He WAS mounted on a
stalwart pony, and at once set of at a hard
gallop. The scouts gave chase, and finally
overhauled the rebel leader, who surrendered
without shot having been fired He was
brought into camp last evening and taken
10 Gen. Middleton's tent. There was no
demonstration, the general having ordered
the men to their tents, fearing violence TO
Riel. No one was allowed TO see him.

"RELlGIOUS FRATERNITY.
Rev. Or. Gilbert's Morning Discourse
at the Division ST. M. e. Church.


Rev. DIR. Gilbert preached yesterday
morning on Religious Fraternity; or, The
Bond of Fellowship Among Men of Differ
ent Faiths" Beginning in the far East. in
Asia, and going westward around the globe,
the preacher said, we found about ten great
religious systems, and these are subdivided
into many more. In regard to union of
these different faiths there were two op-
posing views; one held that on account of
the great importance Of religion, fraternity
must be sacrificed for the sake of religion;
the other that religion must be subordinated
To the broader spirit of fraternity. The
speaker differed in some respects from both
these views. All religion embraced three
facts-character, opinion and department
or conduct. On two of these character and
conduct, men of all faiths agreed. In regard
to matters of opinion all must be charitable.
Each man may have his own opinions and
assert them, but at the same time he should
be tolerant toward others who "a honestly
think differently. The Methodist can say to
the Catholic that he does not believe in
transubstantiatIon; TO the Episcopalian,
that he does not believe III apostolic success
sion; To the Baptist, that he does n ot think
immersion the necessary form of baptism;
to the ld-school Presbyterian, that he does
not believe in the doctrine of predestinatIon,
etc, but he can fraternize with all so far as
they are good and are striving TO do good in
the world. On this broad ground he could
give the hand of fellowship even TO the Con
fucianist and 10 the Brahmin.

The inventor of the latest improvement
proposes TO stretch out from the front of
the locomotive a long, lazy-tongs arrange

one of them holding a whistle, the other a

air to sound the whistle, and If its noise
should fail TO alarm the COW, the prog will
