He giys that for uearly four hundred years highâ€"minded and enlightened Englishmen have been seekâ€" ing for a herb wherewith to cure that political disease known as > "tho Irish d fliculty,"‘ but have failed to do so. He bas come to seek it in the Western hemiâ€" sphere, and believes it to be * American opinion." â€" He adds that if Amerca will counsel England what â€"he ought to do, or what grievanse she can redress <f which Ireland can rightfully complain, the British peopls will listen respectfuily and gratefully. t A correapondent informs us that in Manâ€" itobs there exists among all classes and sects, the mo«t carnest desire for direct railway communication with this portion of the Dominion. Of course some time must necessarily elipse before the people of that ,nvincowill be able to travel to Uttawa by railway throughCanadian territory, although in a few years they may hope to do so, for, if the Pacific Railway does not pass through Fort Garry, a short brinch road will no doubt connect with the main trunk line. But # road connecting with,the North Pacific they may hope for in a short space of time. The American railway is already opened to within a short day‘s journey of Pembina, and will be open to that place next spring, Nothing has yet been done, however, <towards constructing the line from _ Pémbina _ to _ Fort Garty, although a charter was granted by the Government to a number of wealthy and énterprising men who, it was hoped, wou‘ld commence the work at once. We trust no more time will be lost. There sre no engineering diffiâ€"ulties in the way, and when that short road is built there will be direct and unbroken railway communicaâ€" tin between the Province of Manitota and the Atlantic coast. Not only will the prosperity of the people of the young Province be it once greatly promoted by the construction of the road, but the numâ€" ber of imntigrants to the North West will be largely increased. It is true that the Uanadian route through the lake region has, thanks to the unceasing efforts of the Dominion Government and Mr. Dawson been rendered as safe and convenient as possible. Still, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that European immigrant« preâ€" Mr. Froude‘s motive is a good one, and therefore his mission ought undoubtedly to be regarded with respect. We cannot say, however, that we believe much good wili spring from it, or that. the British Government and peo, le are likely to re. ceive from America ny useful hints as to the best mode of solvring what some Engâ€" lish politiciang call the @"[rish problem." That is a wcr}whic‘ has to be performed at home by the people of England and Ireland themseives,| and anything in the shape of foreign intérvention, in whatever form it comes, will be likely to do more harm than good. The less we on this siie of the A:lintic ~meddle or make" with those long vexed questions which have too often disturbed the peace ‘and checked the prosperity of Ireland,the betâ€" ter for us and the better for the "Old Country." Weâ€"can do nothing towards settling them, except by showing how in this country, when old fouds are buried in oblivion, we can prosper and live at peace. The quarreis and factions of the Old World should all be forgotten in the New, nor would America‘s interference in a doâ€" mestic diffarence be productive of good results, however well and kindly meant it might be. fer a railway journey with but few breaks or changes to any other mode of travelâ€" ling. Until our own Canadian Pacific Railway is completed, there can be no doubt that aâ€"large number of immigrants to the North West will travel by way of the American line. It has indeed been urged, and with some force, that they would be liable to constant temptations to remain in the States, ani that few ot them would ever reach Manitoba. But evary day the superior attractions which ohr North West holis out to immigrants are Lecoming more generally known in Entope, as well as on this side of the Atâ€" lantic, and intelligent imumgrants will not easily be induced to turn asiie from the path which leads to that © golden land of promise *‘ of which they have heard so much, but whose ressurces and fertility have been in no way exaggerated. We hope that there will be no more delay in commencing the construction of the Pembina and Fort Garry Railway. We have lately read a very exhaustive paper written by Father De Smet, in referâ€" ence to the Indians of the North West. As the future welfare of the Dowinion, to a large extent, depends upon our Indian policy, any particulars concerning the naâ€" ture and condition of the aborigines canâ€" not fail to be of interest. We therefore give a synopsis of the paper in question, believing as we do that the writer has had good opportunities of becoming acquaintâ€" ed with the Indian character, &0. :â€" [HE INDIANS OF THE NORTH WESIT. No race of men, perhips, which has as yet been made the subject of misâ€"ionary labor, with a view to its conversion to cmmnny,ha-bu-fonind to be more various and obetinate in its superstitions thap the North Western tribes of roving Indians. Notwithstanding all that has been advansed by different writers and residents among them, [ hive found but little that would serve to show a teacher in, what their errors really consist, or how they may be Mnflgfimofl. Most works of travellers among the Indians only exhibit in general some of their manners and customs, without pointing out or reâ€" vealing their motivyes of action. Indeed, nothing but a long and continued intiâ€" macy with their camp life and languageâ€" the lot of very fewâ€"would enable any one hvo so. By niost persons : THE CaraCiÂ¥y OF THE ISDiANS w1as been greatly‘ ‘underrated. They are l yenerally considered as low in the scale of intellect, wild men thirsting for vlood, hunters of game, or seekers tor plunder, devased in their habits and grovelling in their ideas, The contrary is the case. ihey show notions of order in their naâ€" onal government, of order and dignity in the management of their domestic afâ€" t.irs ; they show zeal in what they believe to be theirâ€"religious duties; sagacity and sbrewduess in their dealings with others, «nd they otten display reasoning powers wbove the average of uneducated white mwen. Their religion, as a system, is far superior to that of the inhabitants of Hin «dustan or Japan, To overcome this and | 13 establish the truths of Christianity, both their reason and feelings must be wrought THE RoaAD TV THS NORTH WEST. 1;»»m by tgachera pursuing | such a course » lite and occupation as will convince the Inuisas of the sincerity of their belief and the '|uil'll‘b':dhln.- of their aims i the r«ce 0 operating, meanwhile, in f-.» 1 untutored minds snd bearts, and so b:inging them to that knowledge of His irue and holy tuth which He alone can yive. 1t is, theretore, advisable to know what is the true nature of their religion, when closely anlyzed ; what are their ideas of the Cresior, of worship, of futuri« ty; what in their opinion constitutes crime ?, Are ces oJ:-nea against the Great Spirit, or the individual? Are men under #py moral obligation to serve the tireat Spirit? Are good deeds rewarded, and bad ones rm--hod. in this life, or in a future state? Do they believe in a fuâ€" iure state at ail? If so, how does this t« lief uffect their course of action in this lhie? had * pervadesall air,earth and sky; that is, is omâ€" nipotent, capable of being changed, and capable of being enlisted on their side in any undertaking, if the proper ceremonies and sacrifices are offered. It is the auâ€" thor of both good and evil, according to its pleasure or to their attention to their mode of worship. Its benefits are apparâ€" eat in years of great abundance of game, in seasons of health, triumphs over eneâ€" nmes and the like, Its anger is shown in great distress, losses, defest, infectious diseases, or any other great musfortune the eause of which is unknown, and is otherâ€" wise inexplicible. As it seidom h.ppens in their precarious life, that the intervals between accidents or calamities are long, this Great Spirit is more feared than loveda. Its bounties are passed by unhseded and unthanked, whilst its visitations are numbered in fear and trembling. Power is its attribute, and its residence is supâ€" posed by some to be in the sun. They do not acknowledge any separately existing apirit of evil, although they have a name for a being of the kind in their language. The idea has been implanted by whites in lato m:nd is but faintly realized by the Great evil is a dispensation of the anger of the Great Spirit, which it is in their power to avoid by making the proper sacrifices, '.K:”n' and*fasts, which they all do ; yet they make no demonstraâ€" tion of thanks, by offering or otherwise, when success has been the apparent reâ€" sult of their ceremonies. ‘lhis would seem to prove that they believe the aid of the (Great Spirit to have been bought, paid for, by the yalue of the article sacrificed, or to be only a compliance on its part fl of pcml * wulal» pain on ves. This great unknown Spirit, or Medicine, created all things. A tew men and women :l difl;r::t coiors were first g:uod, rom which original stock sprung vari« ous races of mankindâ€"whites, Indians, negroes, ets. The Indians, they say, were made naked, with such endowments as suit a hunter race; knowledge enough to make and use arms in war or the chase; a constitution to stand severe cold, long fasting, excessive fitigue, and watchful» ness ; oyutono,rnn to hear, and legs to follow game, . Thus they soon felt their superiority over all animals. All animals are made especially for them; «for if ARG THEY 1X ReaLTY iDoLateas? and if so, in what and of what do their idols consist? These and other points bearing upon their moral condittion are what i purpose to explain, though not perhaps in the order in which they stand. All these Incians believe in the existence of a Great ~pirt the Creator of all things ; and this appears to be an inherâ€" ent, orizinal and iaborn ide«. They do nct â€"uppose this S,.urit to hive a tody. The name of this Spirit is W»â€"hcon ‘Rg):h. or Grest Medicine. The word "medicine," in this case, has no reference to the use ofdrur, but means all thet is incowpreâ€" hensible, rupernatural, all powerfulâ€" everything that cannot be expl:ined by ordi means, or thait is above their mmm Their own wrioou or conjurors, are Lkewise termed Wahcon ; n steam boat, a watch, any machinery, even toys of whose principle of motion they are ignorant. would be c«lled Wahcon, »mediâ€" cine" Now this Great Medicineâ€"W«b> con Tuphâ€"i::rli. something greater than the power of man. ‘The acis of the Great Spirit sre manifested in the eleâ€" ments, in natural phenomena, in sickness and desth, in famtne, great distress lo«ses occcasioned by invading foes, strokes of lightwing, and in every way to them unacâ€" countable by natural means. ‘They think uot," they say, "for whom else? ‘They only pnyonuchothor;bc-ide? Indians could not live without meat." The earth wasâ€"made _to, .o:!pott these animals, for planting corn, raising fuelâ€"all for the use of the Indians. (This was the work 6f the Great Spirit in the beginning. ‘To this ances, (by fasting and making incisions in their bodies,) as well as public prayers several times a year. . The sacrifices prinâ€" cipally consist of scarlet cloth, new ketâ€" tles, akiâ€"s and furs, tobacco, and other things, which with great solemnity and ceremony, are presented to the Sun and Thunder, as the two greatest medicinces through which they may prove available with the Great Spint; at the same time the devotee.utiers a prayer, making the requests of which he most stands in u«kw and mnining a _ re. nfi of M sacrifice in case is demands are complied with.

This ceremony is usually done by each Xndnnhmformor Ahuinhhlot{p.otontho ills, in the !udcrinthobmh,unnlfinunyw. Fhey have also days of national worship, in which all join, but which is too long to give an account of here, our object being only to extract the principle of their worâ€" ship. Although they sacritice, Eor;y, inflict severe punishment on their ies, and starve themseives for days, from religious nodvqufllilbonlyhmn%nnnt and future temporal advantages. We see nothing in this denoting a sense of moral responsibility, no hprenhm for p:;t deeds, no iving for favors received. Crime nd‘::m':l‘a‘, as viewed in a Christian light, can have no existence amongst them. . If they {elt themselves in any way guilty, they would assuredly do El-“ and sacrifice to obtain forgiveness. t we do not find this to be the case with any of them.â€" Moreover, crimes cannot be otfences against the Great Spirit, as we shall see, hereafter, that hiswaid is invoked to commit the greatest of crimes and sins. THE BELIEP IN AMULETS OR CHARMs i is general among the Indians; and the | material of these charms or medicines so | various, their influence over individuals so diversified, that to enumerate the whole would take too much space, and indeed is not requisite. 1 must, nowever, endeavor to present the idea which underlies this | behef, which is «omewhat difficult to explain. It :s this, that although the (Great Spirit is allâ€"powerfal, yet his will is uncertain. He is also invisible, and only manifests his power in extraordinary acts ; similar matters being beneath his notice, and under the supervision of minor ‘apirits. Now, it is their want . of some tangible mo:imm, consecrated .z remony, . guard with _ care ‘l.:vokod with solemnity that induces them to select some object as this mediâ€" cine. Every Indian, on aitaining the age of manhood, becomes a warrior, a hunter, the bead of a family, and at that time is oblitd, by his different occupations, to live in constant apprehension tor his life and property from enemies and various other causes. He, therefoae, then chooses something for his Wahcon (medicine). This object is chosen in consequence of some dream, or of some incident or idea presented to him on some important 0câ€" gasion. In this way the «kin of a wessel, stuffed heads and bodies of different birds, unages made of wood, of stone, of beads, wrought upon skin, rude drawings of bears, of buffilo buils, wolves and serpents, of monsters that have no name nor exist enceâ€"in fact, everything animate or inanâ€" imate is used, according to the superstiâ€" tion and bohl‘i:t of the individual. This ohject, w ver it is, is enveloped in several folds of skin, with a lock oi some deceased relation‘s hair, and a small piece of tobacce enclosed, and the whole piaced u & nfluflh sack, neatly oraamented sad fringed ; and this composes the arcaâ€" aum of the medicine sack. This sack is uever opaned in the presence of .nP‘, unless the owner or some of his family fall dungerously ill; it :s then taken out and placed at the head of his bed, and the aid |of the Great Spirit invoked t.rough it. | Oniinarily this sack is opened in secret, | the medicine smoked and invoked and | prayers and sacrifices made in its presence GREAT MEDICINE and lhron(\h it, as a tamgible mediam to the Gréat Npuit, who is unkno@n and inâ€" visible. No snerfices are made directly to it ; yet it is invoked sepurately for inters cession, or rather as a medium of inter~ cession, to avert smaller evils that come under the jurisdiction of lesser spirite. *I have triumphed.

All were glad to see him set forth in such good spirits. â€" His kindred especially re. joiced thereat, or sarid they did, their looks most rueful and woebegone the while. 1n truth, the parting was very grievous to them. He, their loved one, seemed to have taken all hope with him, and left them only fear. e He was a likelyâ€"looking young fellow enough, lithe of figure, quick of moveâ€" ment, with his mother‘s large, tender, brown eyes, and his father‘s brradth of brow and shapeliness of feature. Hiâ€" thick dark hair was neatly combed from his face and tied into a club© at the back of his head. He was simply clad in blue broadcloth, with gray worsted stockings, and bright E:;ur buckles decked his shoes. He served his apprenticeship to a woodâ€"carver; then he had tried his hand upon «tone, and gained credit by his marble mantleâ€"pieces. . He had executed a bust or two for certain provincial patrons, and won prizes for his drawings snd models from the Society of Arts in the Strand. His ambit.on 'Few. He longed for a larger public. The world in which he moved was not big enough for him nor for his art. He must go to London, of course. He did not credit that its streets were pared with gold, as some asserted , silver woulddo. Surely he should there find reward for his toil, recognition of his capacity, and, in due time, fame and prosâ€" nrlty. He was a genius as he believed ; would try and make the world believe so too. He had a future before him ; it beboved him to go forth and meet it. His letters did not tell the whole truth. What letters ever do? He had suffered more than he cared should be known. He had met with care, sickness, disappointâ€" ment ; he had even unaergone privation. His small stock of money was exhausted. But he could notâ€"he was too brave or too. Krondâ€"tell of these things. It would ave broken his mother‘s heart to know all her son had endured. He only wrote when he had good tidings to tell. His letters nqcessarily had not been so freâ€" quent as his friends could have wished ; but they forgave his neglect, or sceming neglect of them.

HOW THE GREELEY CAMPAIGN WAS BADLY MANAGED IN MAINE. ~ The Bockl:in‘;loumal tells this story th’gho present ical campaign is not without moidonnp:hioh excite our risibilities and afford a pleasant relief to the asperities which are called into action by political eontests. Une of the best stories is told Greeley â€" men had a little surplus of how .:.&oy dootthin‘za in Maino. The money, one of them suggested that a Mr. Johnson was inditferem.gspon political topics, and would vote either way for $5. A $5 bill was placed in the hands of a runner who had been engaged to do odd jobs, and he started for Mr. Johnson‘s residence on the morning of the election. Mr. Johnson was absent, but Mrs. Johnson, a stropg Bofublienn, was at home: * No," said Mrs. J., commg to the door, «* Mr. Johneon is out, but I can attend to any~ thmng.r you wish." ‘«"Well," said the runnéer, "I was told he would vote the Democratic ticket if I gave him five dol~ lafs." * Have you the money with you ?" inquired the wife. @Certainly," said the runper, and he handed it to her. «* Well," said Mrs. Johnson, looking at the bill, "and how do you propose to vote "yourself ?" is BPM 1 Auslti p sls H emedlin d $lin cemmmame * Well, L don‘t know," replied the runner « I am indifferent." .‘ Well, then," added Mrs. J., "1‘ll tell you what I wili do ; if you will vcte the Basubliu.n ticket, I will ive you this five dollar bill." "It‘s a flrpin said," the Greeley runner, and puiting the money in his pocket he went to the polls and voted for Perham and Blaine. It is not surprising that Horace says his campaign was badly managed down Two colored men at Little Rock, Atk., lately got into so desperate a quarrel as to which h»vi‘&ntthomontin a contribuâ€" tion box at church, that a fight ensued, with fatal results w one of them. The engineer and fireman of a Tennesâ€" see train at full speed, lately had a fight, whicn resulted nvuzy to the engineer. The fireman than suddenly reversed the engine with such a shock that «everal cars were emashed and the train delayed sev~ qral hours. % (To be continued). PHE REASON WHY! Dr. Whecler‘s Compound Elixit of Phos. phates and Calisaya is called a Chemical Food and Nutritive Tonic, bec:use Phosâ€" phat s constitute more than_ half the maâ€" werial of the human body, sh4 are absoâ€"= lutely essential to the growth of Bone, Muscle and Nerve, which cannot attain full development without them. They promote & good appetite, perfect digestion, create pure, healthy, vilalizing blood, and supply the waste constantly going on in the system as the result of mental and physical exertion. Being combined with Calisaya, the Peruvian Bark. the only speâ€" cific for Chilis and Fever, and that condiâ€" tion of Nervous Prostration and General Debility arising from low vitality and exâ€" haustive diseases, it forms an elegant and agreeable, invigorating Tonic, purely phyâ€" siological in its action, that may be taken safely under all circumstances, and all diseased conditions of the body, as it builds up the constitution in the same manmer as our daily food.
