Indian Story of Riel.

A Montreal special says: Crowfoot, the
celebrated Blockfeet Chief has been telling
to O government agent how Reil urged him
to Join in general Indian war. Ee as
serts that Riel visited him in Montana in
1880. saying that he intended to unite the
Metis, Crees and Blackfeet and the Ameri.
can Sioux under Sitting Bull on the border.
At that time Sitting Bull was in bad
odor in the United States, owing to the
Custer massacre. An interpreter who was
with Crowioot during the interview with
Riel corroborates the story told by the
Blackfeet chief, and adds that Riel told
them that he was backed by influential
persons in Eastern Canada. Crowfoot
complains that the grass on his reserve at
Blackfeet Crossing has been destroyed for
two years in succession by fire from sparks
from the Canadian Pacific locomotives,
and that his claim for compensation has

his treatment.

Because the postmaster general refuses

by steamship companies. which take adj
vantage OF the situation to demand sew
ernl hundred thousand dollars more than
it is worth, the administration is charged
by Interested parties, supported by poliii-
calenemies. with having adopted a policy
hostile to American shipping, The few
American corporations engaged in ocean
steamer traffic do not constitute the Amer
lean marine, though they compose a
larger proportion oft than is good for the
country, owing to the unwise legislation
which has fettered the shipping interest
with restrictions known to no great com
mercisl country. and unknown here in the
days when the United States ranked
easily second and almost first in the ton

time to be. 20 long ~ the present system

The Americans are without doubt more
unconventional than the English. They
are more natural in their manner and
more natural in their speech. When
they have anything to say they deliber-
ate less on the way in which it should be
put. They have no special reverence for
hackneyed forms Of speech, phrases that
are conventional or words which are
venerated merely because they are old.
They realize the poetical value Of the fos-
sis Of language that were the speech Of
the English people in the time Of Chau-
Ger, Spenser, or Shakespeare, but do not
feel themselves obliged to retain and
make daily use Of them unless common
usage has made it necessary.
II new words come into local use and
afterwards become established by adop-
ton Of the newspapers and by popular
literature. they do not object to their be
ing incorporated into the language, If
they are decent and expressive. In this
way America, while it is responsible,
though no more guilty than England,
for a great deal OF slang, has helped to
enrich the mother tongue in ways that

TIE ORIGIN OF ENGRAVING.
This Invention of Producing Ptetur.s on
Paper from Metal Plates.


There are few chapters in the history
OF art OF greater interest than those
which unfold to us the discovery Of for
gotten treasures, nndleveal the existence
of works which had long ago passed out
OF remembrance. The intimate copneo-
ton between the invention Of engraving
and the art OF the silversmith, or rather
that branch OF the silversmith's work
which consists Of the chasing Of an out
line into a plate of precious metal TO be
subsequently filed up with d~ark-colored
enamel, the so-called Niello work, was
never appreciated until, at the close OF
the last century. Able Zani found among
some old Italian engravings, in the
National library at Paris, a print which
he recognized as similar in subject 10
the famous Pax, decorated with Niello
work, made by Maso Fingiguerra for the
baptistery OF st. John, and paid for, as Is
proved by the records in 145s.
This Pax or Assumption was suisse
quently transferred to the cabinet Of
bronzes in the gallery of Florence, where
it is now preserved, and it was proved,
ON comparing with il the engraving, that
the latter had actually been printed from
the silver plate, before the enamel was
fused into the outline, prior, therefore, 10.
1859. On the strength Of this discovery.
Finiguerra has, ever since the year 1896,
been credited with the invention of pro
ducing ~engravings on paper from metal
plates There seems little reason 10
doubt, as has beer often pointed out,
that many silversmiths Of the fifteenth
century may have been in the habit Of
obtaining trials Of their work in progress,
as did Finiguerra, perchance, when he
produced his historical print, represent
ing Christ browning the Virgin, from his
work on the F~lorentine Pax. M ..a5.
1t may indeed have been, together with
the well-known sulphur casts, a recog-
nized mode OF obtaining a record Of the
Niello work, which had been practiced
for many years previous to the time in
question, though no such paper impress
sions Of an earlier date than this have
been handed down to US. 1t was a COM
mon practice to take proofs Of the work
by means Of sulphur casts long previous
to 1452, as numerous specimens Of such
casts have been preserved to us, but it is
difficult To say who was the first bold
i%nnovator who substituted a piece of
paper for the sulphur, and thus origi-
mated the precious art Of engraving. The
story of the wet linen, which accident
ally gave the idea 10 Finiguerra, is
generally treated as fiction of those who
have studied the subject.-Art Journal.

I was speaking with Mr.. Sobolewsky
superintendent OF the st. Louis Gaslighi
company, the other day, and told him
laughingly, that l wouldn't be surprised
to see the time come around when pipes
would be run down into the ground and
electricity would be pumped out like oil
or like water from an artesian well. Mr..
Sobolewsky, who is quite an expert
electrician. said there was nothing SO
very funny about that as to make il
l~aughable; that there was a general
opinion among scientists that there was
a store of electricity in the earth and
that some mean OF reaching and apply
ing it would some day be arrived at.
He told me, what surprised me. too, that
lamp posts and iron buildings. when they
stand any time become magnetized, and

The natives Of the Caroline islands are
firm believers in soroery, but instead of
burning their witches they try To con-
ciliate them in every possible way,
especially by leaving presents at their
door in nighttime, never doubling that
the wisdom OF the bruxa will enable her
to divine the unknown benefactor.
Witches are propitiated by gifts OF cocoa
cakes and honey whenever the storm
clouds loom on the horizon Of the setting
sun. as well as in tim OF protracted
droughts, for bruxas are supposed to
have spec $ for evils of that sort.
Women credited with proficiency in such
business branches of the black art are
therefore considered desirable matches,
and do not fail TO impress their admirers
with vague hints OF magical omnipotence.

adjustment possible Of the boundaries of
the territories generally to meet the re-

to the natural features Of the country.
After assuming that Idaho can be com
pensated for loss of area by giving it a
part Of Montana. leaving more than
enough for another state, the Tribune
proceeds to consider the question whether
Wyoming should be left as it is or whether
tia, portion in the north coinciden, with
the southern boundary OF the National

and concludes, rather favorably to the lat
ter proposition. as follows:
