RIVAL INDIANS AT MASSACRE ISLAND—aAN AVENGING SQUAW.
There are many places in the vicinity of Bic which are of considerable historical interest. Just outside the bay, says a cor- respondent of the Kingston News, lies a jlarge Island, bearing the suggestive name of Massacre Island. On the southeast side of this island is a lefty cliff, in the face of which one can see the mouth of the large eave, accessible only with considerable difii- culty, even at high tide. This cave has a history of its own, which was related to me by # friend resident here, and the truth of which is vouched for. It is as follows :—Iln 1533, about a year before the first arrival of the famous discoverer Jacques Cartier, .a large band of Mountaineer Indiats, with their old men, squaws, and papooses, started from the vicinity of Rimouski on their annual summer hunting expeditions. All went well until they reached Bic, where they were alarmed by the intelligence brought in by the scouts, that the Iroquois, their deadly enemies, were close at hand in overwhelming num- bers. Immediate action was necessary, so the old men, squaws, papooses and other impediments were hurried back t» Rimouski while the warriors, wisely considering dis- cretion the better part of valour, looked about for a place of concealment, hoping that either they would be passed by unob- served by the enemy, or that a chance would be given for “a night attack. The cave on Massacre Island was chosen, and here the braves secreted themselves, blocking up the entrance with large stones. Immedistely afterwards the lroquois arrived on the island, and though they had been apprised of the vicinity of the Mountaineers they could not find their place of conceal- ment. However, they resolved to make the island their headquarters for a few days while scouts were sent out to try and dis cover the whereabouts of the enemy. Things remained at a standstill until the oo day, when early in the morning an e!
CHIEF OF THE IROQUOIS,
taking a walk along the beach at lew tide, happened to gaze upward across the face of the cliff, and saw the warm breath of the Mountaineers issuing from the mouth of the cave. This was enough for the acute perception of ‘the old Indian, and a council of war was held. Am attack was made at once, but the tide being low, the bezeigers were placed at a disadvantage and repulsed with loss. It was decided to make another attack at high tide, but in the meantime the Mountaineers. managed to collect a quantity of brush which they placed in front of the aperture as a fortification. This proved their ruin, however, for the Iroquois set fire to this brush, and before the un- fortunate beings were aware of the fact they were caught like rats in a hole, suffo- cated with the smoke, and were completely at the mercy of the merciless enemy. Escape was impossible, and a scene of wholesale butchery followed. The Moun- taineers were massacred, one end all, and the victorious [roquois returned home with three hundred freshly taken scalps hanging from their belts. Jacques Cartier arrived tee next year, landing at the Raie du Chaleur, and it is a well-known fact of history how, on his return to France, he took with hima couple of young braves. On his return next year he penetrated as far as Quebec, and while paasing Bic these young braves narrated to him the events of the massacre. He paid a visit to the cave, and was horrified to find
THE DECAYING BODIES
of the three hundred massacred Indians still there. Cartier gave a full account of the occurrence in his official report to the home authorities. Another legend in this connection narrates how the Mountaineers terribly revenged this marsacre. It may be briefly stated as follows:—Some few years after the tragedy on Massacre Islanc, a band of Jroquois were in pursuit of a number of Mountaineers, who led them into the foreat bordering the shores of the Madawaska river. An old aid feeble squaw was left behind by the pursued as if desert- ec. She was edlceti by tho Iroquois and pressed into service as guide. The old woman, with the proverbial cunning of her sex, led her captors to the Madawaska river, and so timed the progress of the party that night found them in the vicin- ity of an exceedingly dangerous waterfall. Overcome by fatigue, the braves tied their canoes together and, leaving all in the hands of the old squaw and two warriors in the foremost canoe, lay down and went tosleep. In the darkness the near approach to the fall was unnoticed, and at the last moment the old woman severed the cord which attached her canoe to the others, and pointing out the danger to her com- panions, made for the shore, leaving the others to meet their fate. All went over the fall together and were drowned. Thus was the hutchery on Massacre Island terribly
revenged.
Earl Rosslyn, a Scottish nobleman of our own day, has just published a collection of 110 sonnets, written by him at intervals They are described as perfect in form and delicate in taste, Here is one on “Old Age,” which is said to give a good idea of their general merit: —
There is a beauty Youth can never know With all the lusty radiance of his prime:
A beauty, the sole heritage of time,
That gilds the fabric with a sunset glow,
And glorifies the work it soon lays low ! There is a charm in Age, welinigh sublime, That leads new lustre to the poet’s rhyme,
As mountain peaks are grander, crowned with
snow.
How gay the laugh of Youth, but ob, how
brave
The stately weakness of a reverend Age !
Be ours the task to solace and to cheer,
To fondly on its footsteps to the grave,
To print a blessing on the final page,
And cherich memories for ever dear,

| Anecdotes of the Gladstones.
FAMILY EXERCISE IN DEBATING. —JOHN GLaD- STONE'S METHODS IN REARING HIs CHIL- DREN.
John Gladstone liked that his children should exercise their yudgment by stating the why and wherefure ef every opinion they offered, and a coilege friend of Wil- liam’s, who went on a visit to Fasque ia Kincardineshire during the summer of 1829, furnishes amusing pictures of the fami customs in that house, ‘‘where the children and their parents argued upon everything.” They would debate as to whether the trout should be boiled or broiled, whether a window should be opened, and whether it was likely to be fine or not the next day. Tt was always perfectly good-humored, but curious to a stranyer because of the evident care which all the disputants took to ad- vance ne propositions, even to the prospect ofarain, rashly. One day Thomas Glad- stone kaocked down a wasp with his hand- kerchief, and was about to ernsh it on the table when the father started the qnestion as to whether he had the right to kil] the insect ; and this point was discussed with as much seriousness as if a human life had been at stake. When at last it was ad- judged that death was deserved because it was a trespasser in the drawing-room, a common enemy and a danger there, it was found that the insect had crawled from under the handkerchief and was flying awa with a sniggering sort of buzz as if to moc them all.
On another occasion William Gladstone and his sister Mary disputed as to where a certain picture ought to be hung. An old Scotch servant came in with a ladder and stood irresolute while the argument pro- gressed ; but as Miss Mary would not yield,
illiam gallantly ceased from speech, though uncenvinced, of course. The ser- vant than hung up the picture where the young lady ordered; but when he had done this he crossed the room and hammered a nail in the opposite wall. He was asked why he did this; *‘Aweell, miss, that'll do hang the picture on when ye'll have come rooned to Master Willie’s opeenion.” The family generally did come round to Willie’s opinion, for the resources of his tongue fencing were wonderful, and his father, who admired a clever feint as much as a straight thrust, never failed to encourage him by saying: ‘‘Hear, hear ; well said, well put, Willie ’’ if the young debater bore himself well in an encounter.
Another thing which, John Gladstone taught his children, was to accomplish to the end whatever they might begin, and no matter how insignificant the undertaking might be. Assuming that the enterprise had been commenced witha deliberate, thoughtful purpose, it would obviously be weakness to abandon it, whereas if it had been entered upon without thought it would be useful to carry it through asa lesson against acting without refl:ction. The tenacity with which William Gladstone adhered to this principle exercised no doubt a beneficial moral discipline “pon himself, but was frequently very trying to his com- panions.
It was the same at Oxford, Gladstone would start for a walk to a point some eight miles distant, and make up his mind to go ‘at least more than half the way.” Rain might fall in torrents (a serious matter in those days when no under-graduate ever carried an umbrella), but this would not shake him from his purpose; so long as he had not passed his fourth mile-post nothing would make him turn back. Directed to- ward higher objecte, this stubborness could be dignified with the name perservance, and it was a master quality that kept all Gladstone’s friends in subjection to him more or less. Those who would not give in to him from reason would do so to avoid a contest—this being a world in which there are more earthen pots than iron ones, and the earthen pots try to escape collisions when they can.—Temple Bar.
— > + <ee Another Niagara Swimmer.
BEBRIEL, CAPT. WEBB'S RIVAL, TO RUN THE RAPIDS,
A cable despatch from London says :— Bebriel, the professional swimmer, and a rival of Captain Webb, announces his in- tention of attempting to swim the Niagara Falls Whirlpool. He says he believes he can safely breast the pool, and believes Webb could have done it if he had gone about it properly. Bebriel has witnessed every successful swim ever made by Webb, and believes himself to be a etronger man in the water than Webb was. He is prac- tising in the Thames daily, and intends to test the most dangerous pools and tides, and the strongest waves before departing for the United States. Arriving at Niagara, Bebriel will locate himself upon a shore of the rapids for the purpose of study- ing and testing them by daily plunges. 8 will make dummies of weight equal to his own and throw them into the rapids at all the dangerous poirts, for the purpose of ascertaining the precise tendencies and actions of the waves and currents. When he has completed his observations and practice he will set apart a day for his attempt to make the swim, in whieh Captain Webb Jost his life, aud he states hie G6cm belief that he will succeed, and do 80 without becoming mach exh»usted, claim- ing that the undertaking will depend far more upon the knowledge of the water, presence »f mind, and careful mavagement of the body than upon any exercise of strength, for which he argues there will be
; but little use. EE 4 Ao pa
