CAMP NOTES.

Surgeon Stockard and Assistant Sur

Il formal request of Colonel Burgwyn
that Il court of inquiry be appointed to
examine into the management of the
hospital, and investigate certain com
plants that have been made. Acting
upon this request Colonel Burgwyn APP

tain McRae, of Company X, and Lieu
tenant Smith of Company III, associates.
complaints have found their way into
that the decision of the court of inquiry
be made public.
1t has devcloncd since the death of
Barnet Roper that he had been for some
years subject to spells of temporary de
mcntia. and that ut such times he
would escape from home and wander
about for days without his family know
ing anything of his whereabouts. This
was not known to those in charge Of
the hospital ut the time Roper was
placed there. 1t was revealed yesterday
by member of the company who knew
him before his enlistment.
The Nantahala Company gave an
edition de luxe of its famous Indian war
dance yesterday evening. and an ag-
gregation of red braves could not have

sort of farewell performance by the
mountain boys for their comrades who
shortly depart. 1t was highly picture
sque in any case.
4 large number of the men when paid

to keep from spending it themselves, and
to keep their comrades from assuming
that delightful function for them.

FEW SHUT DOORS.
Why the People in Canada Leav
Them Omen.

Why the People in Canada Leave
Them Open.
Canadians are known in Britain as
the people who, never shut doors, says
the Montreal Witness. Where rooms
are heated, as they are there, by CRATE
fires, the opening of door sets up an
immediate draught, and if the person
who opens it does not close it again he
quickly realizes his mistake, if not in
his own sensations, then in the re-
proachful glances of others. The first
lesson in manners taught to children
is to shut the door, and that quietly.
The door handle, the child is taught,
is not only for the purpose of open
ing door, but of shutting it. The
reason why Canadians do not learn to
shut doors is that their doors, for the
most part, stand open. The houses
are heated with a general heat, and
before the days of furnaces, unless the
doors of the room stood open, the
rooms would, for the most part, get
cold. Thus has grown the habit of
leaving doors open. When Canadian
comes to shut door, he is prone to
think that something very private is
going on within which he must not
disturb, and his first impulse is to re-
tire from it. Where we in Canada
have a door which we want kept shut
we put spring on it, and SO where
there are many offices there is usually
a general and constant slamming of
doors. To one not accustomed to the
Earring thus occasioned the result is
torture. In time kindly nature steps
in and mitigates the evil by making
the auditory nerve less and less sus-
ceptible to an accustomed sound. Ask
a person who lives in cathedral
close, or under the shadow of one of
our great churches, whether the bells
do not disturb him; his reply is: BELLS?
I never hear them"

in WILD NORTH LAND,
ADVANCE OF REV. EDGERToN
ls YOUNG.
1ne missionary and His Young wire
start from CaDada-Down the Red
River of the North-An Unwelcome
Companion. .~4 ia n5s. +, F s5.G.,

In the year 1866, a party of about fif-
seen, comprising several missionaries
teachers, and adventures, started out
from the city of Hamilton, Canada. Of
tnls company, some were going to seek
their fortunes in the then almost I'm
known Northwest. Others, at the call
OF their church, were going out as mis-
slonaries and teachers, among the In
dian tribes of the wild North Land. The
destination of the writer and his young
Vile was to be among the Cree Indians
at Rossville Mission, near Norway
House, far up in the yet unexplored re-
glons north of Manitoba.
:" With the primitive means of trans
portation of those days, two months
were consumed on the journey to the
city of Winnipeg, then known only as
Fort Garry.
The days spent on the great lakes,
rivers and prairies were full of adven-
lures and strange experiences
At Fort Garry, our party, that had
so long Travelled in company, broke up:
some to push on twelve to fifteen hun
dred miles Westward; some to remain

since developed into the Province Of
Manitoba

since developed into the Province Of
Manitoba.
The writer and his wife were under
the necessity Of waiting for few days
for some mode of conveyance by which
they could get northward.
The longest delays end some time,
and the summons to get ready to start
came abrupt and sudden. We hastily
packed up our camp bed and travelling
outfit, and hurried down to the bank of
Red River, where we found waiting
for us the boat in which our long, peril
GUS journey was to be made. 1t was
nothing more nor less than a large
skiff, sharp at both ends, and known as
a Hudson Bay Company's inland boat
1t had neither deck, awning nor cabin.
Its crew consisted of eight Indians,
one of whom was called the guide, and
whose duty it was to act as steersman.
His place was in the stern of the boat,
and he used as his steering apparatus a
long, heavy oar.
Into this little boat our travelling out
fit was quickly thrown, and a snug lit
tie place was assigned to us in the
stern, near the guide. The Indian
boatmen, with their oars, soon pushed.
out the boat from the shore, and rowing
with a precision and dash that won
our admiration, we started down the
Red River Of the North under happy
auspices, and with exhilarated spir-
it's.
At Lower Fort Garry, which is a
massive stone structure, we stopped to
get the mails for the Northern Hudson
Bay Company's ports, and also to re-
ceive Indian supplies.
Then off again we started, leaving
behind us the Selkirk Settlement, with
its romantic history and it's baptism of
blood. The hourishing Indian Mission,
with it's comfortable homes and coy
church, and well-clad, fine-looking ma
