Historic Ground.

In this valley and the high lands be-
yond, says the Qu'Appelle correspond
ent of the Toronto Nail, many q bloody
battle has been fought in the long ago.
The lands was at one time occupied by
the Blackfeet, but the Crees, who had
always the halfbreed hunters as their
allies, III their western march disputed
the territory with them. The two
tribes were fierce foes, and fought each
other as only sayages could fight
There was no quarter. 1t was murder,
not war. The valley was drenched
with blood, and all round about "strug-
giles fierce and wild" were of frequent
occurrence. Thousands of braves of
these two powerful tribes were slaugh-
tered and scalped, and he was squaw
Indian indeed who could not haunt
three or four bleeding scalps from his
belt At that time the buffalo roamed
over the country, and as they moved
westward the Blackfeet went too, and
the Crees also advanced, until now the
latter hold the plains, their old-time
enemy being driven to the base of the
Rockies, and the supply Of food God
had provided becoming extinct. The
last battle between these sanguinary
forces was IN 1876, ne years ago,
near Swift Coo. ~. on the Canadian
Pacific Railway. The Blackfeet, while
on one of their marauding expeditions,
came across a few tents of their hered-
itary enemy, and, not aware of the large
force hidden behind bluff short dis
lance away, advanced and killed two
women who occupied the tepees. The
Crees made a strategic movement in
the rear, and corralled the Blackfeet
in coulee, climbing out OF which in
the deep snow on all tours, they were
mercilessly tomahawked by another
party in ambush on the summit. Forty
were thus butchered, and the snow for
yards around was dyed with blood.
The Blackfeet then said they were tired
Of fighting. Peace was proclaimed.

The Bright Fish Of the Red Sea.

The water of the Red Sea is of an in
tense green color, and so transparent
that even at the depth of two fathoms
the sea bottom is distinctly visible. 1t
is carpeted with coral-plants of many
varieties, with sea-weeds of many
species, and with numerous other
wonder OF the deep" of both the ami
NAL and vegetable kingdoms. The in
finite diversity OF form and color and
arrangement, still farther varied by the
restless medium through which it is
seen, makes sight which the eye never
wearies of contemplating. This
beauty is still further enhanced by the
thousands of brightly colored fishes
which fash through the waters. They
are truly marvellous for their beauty of
form and color. TO say that every coll
or of the rainbow is represented is an
utterly insufficient comparison. Not
only are there violet. indigo blue.
green. yellow, orange, and red fishes, of
purest hue, but there are numbers
which combine two or more of these
colors one little fnny flower Of most
graceful form was of delicate cobalt
blue with fms and tail of fine lemon
yellow; there were others with dark
blue stripes of rich golden
ground; some black, with
silver spots; some red, with
green fms and tail; others with secon-
dairy and tertiary colors mingled in
most elaborate patterns and delicate
proportions; while one species, having q
rich, warm green for its prevailing hue,
had fins and tail edged with genuine
prismatic spectrum. Eng Lock.
