But, there is no doubt about-the degradation. We have the testimony of the most reliable witnesses to the fact that Governor Archi- | bald, the representative of Britain and | Sona forget the dignity of his office | and the honor of his gountry to meet and | greet and converse with Riel, as if he was | {not a murderer with a price on his head, but a law abiding citigen entitled to be treated with extradrdinary eonsideration.'

A A-- | There would seem to be some founda- tion for these reports, for the locality | mentioned is in the midst of one of the | richest argentiferous regions on the conti- [nent. The early explorers of a toute | through the British Possessions discovéred | { | investigations have shown that vast 'de- both shores of 'the gredt lake. Lake She- | bandowan lies about forty miles due west from Fort William, and at least four hun- | dren miles from Fort Garry. This lake is | only about ten miles in length, and but two or three in width; and forms one of | many small bodies of water in that section. | { It is bounded on the south and west by a | mountainous and broken cotfry, through which flow several smalland rapid streams. Lake Shebandowan is but a short dis- | tance from Silver Islet, in Lake Superior, said to be the richest silver mine in the world, and not over 150 miles distant from the copper mines of Ontonagon. There | are, thercfore, reasonable grounds for be- lieving that these discoveries may prove | | to bé as valuable as they are reported, and | that the: extensive prospecting of experi- | enced gold-hunters which is sure to follow | may yet 'deve dp minefsl resources north of Lake Superior as vast as those which | have attracted hundreds of thousands of | people tothe western slopes of America and the islands of the Pacific. 2 m-------- STRANGE ACCIDENT. About five o'clock last evening, 'a loud explosion attracted a crowd of several hundred people to the Central Railroad | ' depot, and for a few moments everybody was mad with excitement, it being suppos- | | ed that a steamboat or a locomotive had exploded. Itwas, however, soon ascer- tained that the damage was solely eonfined to the Pullman Palace sleeping car ** Cres- cent," stapding on the track at the west end of the depot, and that no one had been serivusly hurt. The *" Crescent," as well as all cther cars of the kind, is heat- ed by steam, there being a furnace and boiler situat€d in the centre of the car to supply, the steam. About half-past four, the eonducter of the car,@which was to ran out in the evening train, went in, saw that the boiler was in order, and then started a fire, stretching himself out on the cushions after he had done so. Whe- | ther there was a lack of water in the boiler, or whether it genernted more steam than it could bear, is not known, but it | suddenly exploded without warning. The boiler: was blown 'square 'through the roof of the car, shivering the timbers | and ceiling for a distance each way. Por- | tions of the sides of the '¢ar wore blown | out, and the snooging conductor whs pitch- | | ed out on to thegravelso hurriedly that he | | had no time for inquiries. Hot water was | thrown everywhere, enough striking the | man to make him Teel lively for half an | hour, and'the bed-clothing and cushions | were considerably injured by both water | and fragments of the boiler. A piece of | | the bofler Targe enough to have settled | {the business for two or three men went | | through the side of the car close to the | | conductor's head. The damage: to the | | coach will reach several hundred dollars, | rand the wonder is that any portion of it | can be saved. --Detroit Free Press. | Tme PresioeT of Yale College gave the | following advice to the students of that | institution on Saturday :--" Young men, | you are the architects of your own for- | | tunes. _ Rely upon your own strength of body and soul.

And the sonzs of the churéh, and its regular service, often supplement the | church, and sustain it through periods of | emergency. Sometimes where the pulpit { is weak, they are strong, and hold the | church on in spite of the weakness of the instruction of the pulpit. They give ut- terance to thoughts that otherwise could | | never be spoken. Many can chant what cannot speak. | one can sing (with tears dropping, and, as 4 it were, beating tine) joys or aspirations which no other language. could frame. 1I| like to think of love as the centre of re. ligion, and of song as its best utterance. The mother singing over the cradle-- is | there any other saintliness more beautiful | to be thought of than that? The old bird sits on the tree and coaxes the young bird | to fly to her.

And persons are never brought into such communion as| when they 'ara gathered together, and | their feelings express themselves in song. | 1t is the hymns that persons sing together | that unite 'tiem. I think I love those! that I have sung with better than any | others." *And when we come into heavenly $laces in Christ Jesus--into the lecture- | room and the church proper--and all join in the sanctuary that opens the gates of le- | ments shind so brightly ? Is there any | other service that so brings tp our thought.| the radiant inhabitants of the other side? | Is there any other service that seems to bow and bend the heavens so near to us, | and that awakens thoughts of dear ones that have gone away from us so quickly as | songs of Zion! Is there anything which 86 makes doctrines seem no longer cant, by clothing them with life and beauty; which so makes theology like an orchard in which stands the tree of life dropping ! down Christian fruit!

The staff officer fled, but was overtaken and captured by a comrade of Dillon's. In. his dying moments, General Stezman re- | quested his slayer tojtake from one of his inside pockets his will, bequca 1g all his property his wife and daughter, and a life insurafiee policy for 840,000, He ask- ed Dillon gp keep them and send them to his familyfl After the war, Mr. Dillon advertised for the owricrs, and he resolved tolfetain possession of 'the papers until scmefinquiries should be made for them. Rétently an' advertisement ap- peared in the Alabama papers offering 8500 reward for his missing will, Dilloganswer- | ed it, and General Segman's daughter | came northas the guest of Roger A. Pryor. She related the particulars of the long search for the will, the difficulties that had | been encountered, the productivn of a | forged will by her father's relatives, and | their Mobile lawsuits. She expressed deep | gratitude to Mr. Dillon for the recovery | of the will, and said that through it her | mother and herself would be enabled to regain possession of their extensive Ala- bama and Georgia estates.

Tar Cuicaco Times says ;--The public has ree cognized the superior business practices of the British insurance companies over American companies by overrunning the " o of thie for- mer doing business in this city with applications for policies. The British oompanies have even availed themselves of this opportunity to con- firm their title to confidence by refusing to take but a small proportion of those new risks. and by distributing them so Judiciously as to guard losses. American companies--even the best of them--can learn a lesion in management from their example. Preserving Eoos.--The New York Observer says that the most convenient and satisfactory way to keep eggs fresh that it has ever tried, is to punch numerous holes in a tin pail, ill it with fresh eggs, lower the pail with the eg#¥ into a kettle of melted tallow, which fs as hot as can be without burning one's finger when thrust into' the liquid; then lift the pail out quickly, and the melted tallow will flow out, lea: ng a thin coat. Ing over every egg. Let the be removed as soon as possible from the pail, and be flaced o the ends in a Keg or barrel, which should be kopt \ in a cool cellar until the eggs are wanted for use, It has kept eggs in this manner more than six month so fresh that expert Judges supposed they were fresh. As the eggs are so much colder than the melted tallow, a thin pellicle will be formed almost instantly, which will render the shell im- pervious to air, STOPPING A NEWSPAPER --Ofe of our ox- changes has the following Allegory, which we commend to the careful consideration of those gentlemen, who, why the mom ent they see any- thing whic! isplcases them in the columns of their local , rush to the printing office and cry out "stop my paper."

With imperturable gravity he looked to see the earth earth remained, and only his poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is the way of a weak spot, and forthwith he sends to stop his the crash, when he finds bé only hit his own toe against a world that does not preceptibly feel the shock, and injuresno one but himself," Tae Cuicaso Times says :--The Fire- a capital stock of only $200,000, and was carrying fifteen millions of dollars of risks in Chicago alone. - If this was not a whole- sale swindle, and bare-faved confidence- Chicago the favor to advertise that there at fair wages, plenty of shelter, and plenty toeat?
