The Church oitieer throws the whole weightofhisiufhtenee on the side ofidlcucss and drunkenness. The Russo-Greek Church is nominally Christian. Wlwther there are any elements of Christianity in it I am un- able to say. To all outward appearance it is nothing but buftoouery, the invention Ufa. Cngliostro or some similar genius. It has never had the slightest influence upon the nation, Many of them have, indeed. gone through the ceremony of baptism, and wear crosses of silver and brass or charms, but none the less do they retain their old idols or seek the aid of the Shamon aski in their troubles. Every native family has a special sledge set apart for its household gods, drawn by reindeer used for this purpose alone, and covered by a "dear's" reindeer skin, that is, a skin upon which man has never slept. The idols are made of wood, stone. iron, or anything that can be made to resemble a human being or other animal. These animals must be looked upon more in the light of charms than of gods. Therm- tives never pray to them, Their only use seems to be as neentreof magnetic or spiri- tualinihtemte. The Shaman urmuges them, walks round them, and beats iumsststu1tly on' his drum, while the people dance round him, till he, and probably they, become more or less isostatic or under the iufiuenee of frenzy.

POETRY. DUNDALK, NOVEMBER 1, 1877. $1 per year in Advance. The Upper Saskatchewan _ Country. (Winnipeg Free Prue) As I am still onthe Upper Sashatchewan I will endeavor to describe to your many readers as well as to ambitious emigrants the country lying between Fort Saskatchewan and Fort Pitt (north bank). It was not then till the season of green peas and let. tuces was over that I quitted the former place, and that lovely morning saw one travelling alone on a trail scarcely percept- ible for vegitation, but which all at once brought me on the open valley of the Stur- geon River. This stream is fordahle in dry seasons. well wooded, and is excellent for water mill power. At this point it was due south for some miles and ends in the Saskatchewan north. It was aftercrossing this valley that a splendid farming country opened out before me capable of locating many families, and supplied with wood,, hay, the. After crossing the Vermilion and 3 , many other small creeks, I tiually crossed J Moose Creek. From here the trail follows I the Saskatchewan River to Victoria settle- ' inent and mission, at distance of thirty-tire l miles, that portion being well adapted for l settlement. for where the trail runs up the bank at times the hay is just as long and let as on the that below. It was already night ere Victoria settlement sixty-five miles, was reached. It will be remember- ed that this settlement and mission were founded by the late lamented licv. Geo. Maedougall, of the Weslc; an Methodist Church of Canada, and at his untimely death was in a flourishing condition. Since then, however, adecline took, place. Some few of the settlers moved away to other locations, and in their case it may be from bad to worse. A water-power grist mill is in good running order hero ; and plenty of buffalo and whitcfish not far away. This mission of which the Rev. J. Walton is pastor. is a credit to hint who lmiltit,thcrc being ii line church and dwelling houses. Mr. Walton has a fine garden and field under cultivation. and, though very early in August his barley is about vipv, and his potatoes' are very large indeed. North- east front here stand White Fish Lake and Lake In Biehc, the former with a Metho- dist mission and the latter with a r'rtmeh mission. From here the foriuvvis 50inih-s and the latter 100 miles. There is, I am {told splendid farming,r land around these missions and lakes.' After a half a days rest I started, and my second day out I met an Indian who, inforiucd mo that I was not on the road I wished to travel on. He, however brought me to Saddle Luke, _ and put me on that trail which I should i before have kept. Of this Lake I shall ‘ proceed to say that for miles and miles , around it is one of those many beautiful and fertile districts ot'good farming land ', on the North Saskatchewan River ; black loam, mixed with clay bottom, covered I i with pea vine hay some feet high, the sas~ I kootum and rasherry bushes, berries on I I which were in thousands shaking in the ', Western breeze. This good laud continues I till after passing Egg Lake. and Dog Rump I Creek, a distance of fifty miles. Within 1 this space of country, let the kind reader I understand, are many smaller districts of I good farming land. and which will be found 1 and named when the larger ones are taken l, up and occupied. It was not then till the I, 7th of August that I drew rein on the river l, bank at Fort Pitt. Here there was a great 7 many Indiays gathered together to re- l I ceive their annual treaty money from the i Government, and Mr. Commissioner Dick. enson, assisted by Mr. Peter Erasmus, was i busily engaged counting out the dollars to F, the several chiefs of the bands. Some of those chiefs were foolish enough to think _ that they were not treated well last year. _ and caused some useless talk, but the stern _ pluck with which the Commissioner held I his ground made them come to time with the exception of Big Bear." The Commis. _ sinner however left the vicinity of Victoria Settlement and Edmonton to-day, and also ‘ left the Indian's well supplied with both money and food, ete. And now I will say _ that there are no traders in here from Win. ', nipeg as yet, and eonseipicutly, as of old, I the Hudson Bay Company have it almost / all their' own way. Had ch, Stobard, & l] Co been here they could have at least dis. I posed of 610,000 worth of goods. for I am l I aware of the. fact that they have those very I goods that the Indians require lying cover. , ed with dust in their store at back Lake. f, Wm. Mckay, an s?ffieieut II. B. Co. oilicial l and who is in charge of this fort, is doing I1 an enormous business these few days back. I I should like to ask where all the Canadian I enterprising men of business are. None I of them can be seen here, though dollars are around like waste paper.

He left without a coat, very insuffieiently clad, and with no means of lighting a fire. He took with him only an axe and a CompuSs. ot the use of which he was ignorant. In the shanty they sounded a military bugle at dinner time, but he did not make his appearance. His brother had gone to Emsdnle for provisions. Alarm was cans- ed by the former not appearing at tea, and search was made for him. Two or three of the searchers came out to the Corners (Emsdale). and a full party made another hunt, but only succeeded in finding aplace where he had raised a temporary shelter between two trees, with brush, donlitlossto ward off the heavy rain. He is supposed to be dead in the bush. The unfortunate man leaves a wife and family behind him, and brought one of his children to Ems. dale. . The great number of distinct "heme that have been proposed fur uniting the l Ktlantie and Paeifie Oceans by a ship cs. , nal through the Isthmus of Dorian and I I sumcient attestation to the value of such a i work. , as. ofthe schemes which was most _ favorably received was a proposal to unite , Lake Nicaragua tothe Atlantic, from which: , it is distant eighty miles, and then eohtiri-i ue the communication to the PtuMe, which [is distant eleven miles. The Lake is a 1.misgnifiiititt sheet of water, about llOmiles long, and with an average width of 85 Fiiii ; but its elevation above the Paeidie is 180 feet, and this would involve heavy' ilocks for raising and lowering vessels l at both sides. A canal by this route i would decrease the length of the voyage {from Liverpool to Sideny by 2.320 miles that from the same port to Valparaiso by i1,200 miles, and diminish the sailing diss itance from Now York to Canton by 8,280 imiles. The "rperieuee of the Panama' i Railway also shows that a water route a-i icross the Isthmus would be of immense ladvantagc to the commercial world. The (route by Nicaragua Lake necessarily in. ivolves great expense for looks and other works, and the political relations between the two titates-Niearagutt and Costa Rica --to whom the territory belongs are not so1 harmonious as to make it safe to invest‘ much money on a canal whose working may be interrupted at any moment. Some time since a French expidition was titted out to explore the country further south, within an area under rule of the United 1 States of Columbia. Lieutenant Wyse was appointed leader, and he has now reported‘ on what is called the Daricn canal scheme. His pasty explored two routes. From the G'ulf of San Miguel, on the Paeifie coast, the explorers went up the River Tuyra in n sonthcusterly direction, and Lieutenant Wyse, says this river could be utilized for large ships for a long way up its mouth. After crossing an inhospitable country, the Atrato was reached, and taking boats on that river, the party sailed down to the Gulf of Darlen. Lieutenant Wyse did not consider this route suitable for a canal, and proceeded to examine another further south, but still within the territory which the Colombian Government are wil- ting to Conceed to the promoters of an in. ter-oceanic canal. It is described as a des. ert and unknown area. 'l'hisline proceeds northeast from tho Cltuetstuuitur to Port Gandi or Amati on the Atlantic coast. Lieutenant Wyse thinks the dimeulties of making a canal by this route will be slight as Compared with any other line that has been proposed. He says it will be com- pletely level, and will present only "re. latively narrow“ masses ol'eurth to remove should it be decided to form a tunnel. The cost he estimated at $600,000 per kil- ometer, and his report closes with the con- iident hope that a canal by this route will soon be an accomplished fact. If the phy. sical features are accurately described,tlieio is little doubt that this new route presents fewer ditiiculties than that by lake Nicar- agua ; but a canal along any route is a de. sirable business undertaking. and we trust the explorer's views may not be too san- guiue.--h'r. . ----_------- A letter received by a gentleman in os tawa city states that the 100th Royal cu.

In 1872 Lieuten- ant Granhy's expedition for the relief of Living/tone ascended still farther,1mt was recalled in consequence of Livingston} death. Cameron‘s failure to descend the river is fresh in the memory of all.

The German expedition under Capt. Van Home. pr, which started in 1875 to explore the lower Congo to prepare the wayfur German colonization will probably he heard from thro agh Stanley. when details are received of his hazardous yet successful journey. One inportaut point in connection with the future oi the Congo is already apparent; Cameron's scheme for the development of the Great Interior Businhy nieamof steam navigation is likely to belongdtGyed. The great cataracts near the equator, not less than those near the coast. mast ever pres- ent serious obstructions to the commercial development of the interior. The new Roman Catholic Church at Brussels was dedicated on Sunday, 2tttts inst., by Rev. Dr. Walsh, Bishop of Lou. duu, assisted by other clergymcu. On tho 16th October an individual ap- proached Mr. John Milieu, cattle-dealer, who resides near Wroxetcr, with a flock ol sheep, and offered them for sale. The pricu was agreed upon, and the sheep were driven to Mr. Millen's residence. From the man‘s extreme desire to sell the sheep. and from other circumstances, Mr. Millet: suslwcwd that everything was not right. He accord. ingly made some excuse for deferring pay- ment, and wont to the village for advice. On his return home he found the 'surTet'ted individual in we wt of tpking the sheep out of the field, as if to drive them away. Mr. Millen at once chargal him with having stolen them, whereupon the pseudu-drm'cr took to his heels and Bed. Thinks to Stanley's pluck Ind energy. the well founded belief that Lvitttmtone's Lulnho we: no other than the Congo has now been fully justified; and henoetnrth the Congo mast rank with the three or four greet rivers of the globe. It is to Africa what the Amuon is to South America, the Mississippi to North America. the Yang-tin Eiang to Axis. It certainly exceeds the Nile in volume, and possibly also in ares of drainage. Rising in the upland north of Lake Nyassa. it flows northerly through I } the great interior basin oi Africa. until l '; ranches a point about the seamd degree of l 1 north latitude (long. 24 degrees E.) when! it swerve: to the westward, then to the sotrthwestward until it spprnnches the must. y Where Livingstone wes stopped, the Lusi- alnn was I noble stream from 2,000 to 0,000 yards wide ; after making the i great bend near the equator, it develupes into I still broader stream, from two to ten miles wide, choked with islands. At the cataracts. where the. river breaks through the coast mountains. the stream narrow“ to 200 y'ds or less; then spreads out into a broad stream from two to four miles, wide with a current flowing about three miles an hour, The volume of water diseharged is enor- mous; Capt. Tuekey's oritimate-2,000,o00 cubic feet a mututtr-is probably not far from the truth. At its mouth the Congo is a thnnsnnd feet deep, und the water has been found to be perfectly fresh nine miles from the tmast. For forty miles out the sea is perfectly freshened by the tttst volume of fresh water poured into it. The tide is felt as far as the first entairm-t, 140 milesup the river. In its lower course the river spreads out into extensive swamps covered with mangrove and palm trees. The first successful explorer of the lower Congo was Capt. Taekey, who Ascended the river to a considerable distance above the cataracts. when he was forced to turn back. His belief was that tho.Congo drain- ed some large lakes north of the equator, and was a continuance of the Niger. The Congo River. Mix-cum u.
