The Bank Fishery.

REVIVAL OF THE INDUSTRY AND CHEERING SUCCE. 8 HAD.—WHAT THE BOUNTY SYSTEM DID.

The Newfundland correspondent of the Montreal (Gazette, writing on the 28th of July, says: Up to this date the bank fishery carried on by Newfoundland vessels has been a marked success. Nearly every vessel engaged in it has done well; some have realized very handsome fares. The fish on the part of the Grand Bank to

j

unusually plentiful, and the quality is ex- cellent. The number of vessels engaged in prosecuting this fishery, from these shores, is nearly double that of last year, and there can be little doubt that the success of the present season will lead to a further ex- tension of this branch of our fisheries. Up tilla few years ago the Bank. fishery was

attention of ourfishermen. Some ten years ago, when the regular fisheries were found insufficient for the support of our population, the Government was induced to

should engage in the Bank fishery. This encouraged a few to venture on the experi-

suecess followed. The vessels were vnsuit- able and the men unaccustomed to fishing on the banks. fective, end capital was required to provide it. Soon, however, taught by experience, the owners of the bankers overcome those difficulties, and suitable vessels were built and properly equipped. At the end of five years, THE BOUNTY HAD DONE ITS WORK,

the bank fishery was found to be so remun-

needed. Every year since has witnessed an increase inthe number of vessels and men, and now it promises to become, ere long, one of the most important branches of our fisheries. When French and Ameti- cans can come many hundreds of miles and

seems strange that those who reside within twenty-four to thirty-six hours’ sail

cessfully. are immense. from the various ports with the fresh bait,

which they land and hand over to the curers on shore, and having obtained a fresh sup- ply of bait they resume their voyage. They can prosecute this fishery from the end of April till the middle of October. The bank tish bring the highest price in the market. Seventy years ago the bank fish- ery was the main industry.

FOUR HUNDRED VESSELS,

fitted out and manned in England, carried it on, and two-thirds of all the cod exported were taken on the banks. After 1815 the French and Americans were enabled to re- sume their operations on the banks, and both established a system of high bounties for the encouragement of this industry. The English fishermen could not, unsus- tained by bounties, compete with them, especially as the price of codfish fell toa low figure. The English cod fishery on the Banks declined rapidly, and in 1840 was to- tally extinct. Meantime, Newfoundlanders were increasing in numbers, and living close to their fishing grounds were able to com- pete with the French and Americans. They confined their operations at first to the fishing grounds around the shore of the Island, and gradually extended them to Labrador ; but till recently they teok no part in the bank fishery. Now they have discovered their mistake, and a marked revival of the bank fishery has set in. During the last ten years, 36,000 have been added to our population, and fresh openings for the industrial energies of the people are urgently needed. -Lisneciieite Raia i The British Empire.

One of the most remarkable criticisms on the British Empire which has been contri- buted by a foreign pen for some time past, appeared not long since in the Post of Berlin. It began by ascribing to the Bri- tish realm (which was too deficievt in ad- ministrative unity to be called an empire), ‘‘a wealth of national treasures, living powers and commanding situations such as no other nation in the history of mankind could ever boast,” and to the ‘‘ central peo- ple of this mighty agglomeration * * * a political existence of singular vigor, affording ample scope to the development of indivi- dual talents, and remarkably free from many of the considerations which necessarily regulate the conduct of other countries.” For these reasons England once exercised a moral influence proportionate to her material power, but hitherto she had not had to try conclusions sngle-handed with another civilized power of equal standing. Her insular situation and strong fleet had made her in thh past practically unassail- able while her veculiar qualities made her alliance much sought after. But now ‘she was on the eve of possibly a serious change by which either her import- ance would be diminished or to which she might be enabled, by vigor and prudence, to adapt herself. If the former S%esult happen—if there should be any grave lessening of England’s power, the conse- quence would be generally felt—it would be like the displacement of continents on the physical domain. For this reason publicists gave great attention to the question of England’s destiny, as, compared with any disaster to her, such as the dismemberment of the empire by the loss of India or other- wise, all other contemporary questions would be of minor interest.

Chief Crowfoot.

John Horn, of the Army Telegraph of the Northwest Force,writes to the Montreal |Gazette: Having just returned from the Northwest, where 1 met this celebrated Indian several times, on and off his reserve (700 miles west of Winnipeg), the following may not uninteresting to the public :— Crowfoot is a well formed, athletic, copper colored Indian, about five feet ten inches high, with a fine marked aquiline nose—such as we usually sce in the portraits of Well- ington—small clear restless black eye, thin lips, a mouth indicating firmness, with ‘the corners pointing downwards, fair set of ‘teeth, prominent chin, high cheek bones, long, thick, brown-black hair falling over his shoulders, slightly sprinkled with grey, part of which is tied up in a smal! ball on the rear top of his head ; small! weli formed hands and feet, and one who would be selected as a marked man out of hundreds of others. He was born in our Northwest, and is fifty-seven years ‘of age. He has four wives and ten chil- ‘dren, and is head chief of a nation of ‘five different tribes, viz., the Blackfoot, Sarcee, Bloods, Piegans and Stonies, num- bering nearly 6,000. These people are | scattered over a radius of abeut 300 miles. He lives principally with the Blackfeet, very much like all the others, and is noted as being very generous in sharing with the humblest of his tribe anything he may have. He -bas acted loyally during the lrecent troubles, and haa no doubt been very instrumental in keeping his various people quiet, and should be well and sub- ‘stantially rewarded by the Government. ‘He takes great pride in showing his ‘large silver troaty medal and a telegram from ‘Sir John A. Macdonald, promising he should

| be handsomely treated when the troubles

| wore over, which I sincerely hope Sir | John will now not forget tode. In 1879, | when the buffalo dissppeared, he prevented

|the Sareees from raiding a store of Powder

‘Brothers at a place called Crowfoot Croes- \ing, though he and his men, as well as the ‘discontented were starving. This I learn- ‘ed from Major Dowling, of the N. W. M. | Police, who entertains a very high opinien ‘of the chief. One son, whom I met, a tall, ‘strapping fellow, I measured and foand te be

Crowfoot has been quite a warrior in his day,and has never | been further from his reserve this way than | It would be good policy to bring even as faras Ottawa. The variows other tribes whom I have mentioned above, have each a head chief, several of whom I have met. Yet, it # a notorious fact, no great iquesticn among them in council is fully j oe ‘ pie .

idecided upon until this man Crowfoot

is consulted, 80 much do they value his wise, calm, deliberate, and conciliatory judgment. Like all Indians

he smokes; he hardly speaks a word of English, but one would be surprised how readily they are understood, through signs of the hands and face. His dress is plain, usually a blanket and leggings ; occasionally he wears a coat and old red soft felt slouched hat. His tepee, or tent, is only a little larger than allothers. In the summer these Indians are eternally onthe move. I have visited an encampment of a hundred tents in the mocrning on a lovely spot on the prairie, near the bank of one of the many narrow rivers, and returned in the afternoon to find the place completely deserted. The grass being pretty well eaten by their ponies,together with the usual accumulation of old bones, etc., soon causes them to pull up stakes and strike a new and fresh camping ground. In the winter most of them return te the reserve, where many have small log houses, For my part, f entertain a very favorable opinion of this noted chief.

Lowering the Record.

When Flora Temple trotted a mile in 2.19 the achievement astonished the world. This was in 1859. The mare was looked upon as a wonder. Few then be- lieved that a mile would ever be made by any trotter in less than 2.15. It took eight years to lower the record of 1859, and down to 1874 the best tlme made was 2.17. In that year the record was reduced below 2.15 by Goldsmith Maid, who scored a mile in 2.14.

It was then generally thought that the limit of a trotter’s speed would prove to be 2.10. But Maud S. had not yet made her appearance, nor had Jay-Eye-See. The former brought the record down to within a quarter of asecond of 2.10 in 1881, and three years later the latter reduced it to 2.10. The prophets of the turf next made bold to predict a mile in 2.09, and even 2.08. Maud S. has rapidly lowered the record below the former figure, and now President Edwards, of the Cleveland Asso- ciation, expresses his conviction that the wonderful mare can trot in 2.07 under favorable circumstances, and Mr. Bonner declares that it will not surprise him to see the prediction verified.

Well, the matchless animal has already done wonders. FHler achievement of a mile in 2 083 on a “slow track” is marvellous, but still more marvellous is the fact that she flew over the third quarter at a 2 04 gait. She may yet fulfil the predictions ef her most ardent agimirers.

But what weuld have been thought twnty or even ten years ego of a man prephesing a 2 07 trotting record ? And what is af laet to be the utmost limit of the trotter’s speed ! Will a mile ever be made in two minutes? The turf history of the past few years is certainly encouraging to bold Predictions.
