A Plea for Aid. vain PRIESTS IN PRINCE ALBERT DISTRICT SOLICITING ASSISTANCE OF THE PEOPLE OF CANADA FOR THE HALF-BREEDS—THEY DECLARE RIEL TO BE AN IMPOSTOR.

The following document, forwarded to ae" Manitoban for publication, explains itself ;—-

Prince Atsert, June 12, 1885.—We are priests of the districts more especially con- cerned in the rebellion—viz., St. Laurent, St. Antoine, Grandin, Duck Lake and Batoche. As it was among our own people here that the miscreant Louis ‘‘ David ” Riel made his headquarters, we as resi- dents, and knowing the facts, would call the attention of our fellow-speaking people in Canada and elsewhere to the fact :

That Louis ‘‘ David” Riel does not de- serve the sympathy of the Roman Catholic Church or its people, es he usurps our places as priests with our flock, and other- wise deprived our people of the advantages and consolation of having us among them. ** All this he did to gain his own selfish ends,” and we therefore feel that the church and people in Canada should sympathize with us and our people, and pity rather than blame them for being led astray. Very many of our people are utterly destitute, having had their stuff taken by Louis ** David” Rielin the first place, and then suffering the usual losses that must follow an army marching through said district.

General Middleton did all he could to make the losses and suffering of our flocks as light as he could, and deserves our heartfelt thanks; but unless we = get help in some way our people will starve, and we therefore ask the French-speaking people of Canada and others to give their sympathy to us and our flocks, and pray with us that the Government may temper justice with mercy in dealing with our people who were led astray,

This we sign at the request of John W. Aatley.

A Great Discoverer Dead.

Jam<s Wilson Marshall, who first made known to the world the existence of the mineral treasure of California, died on Monday at his home in Kelsey. in that State. He was born in Hope Township, Warren County, N. J., in 1812. After re- ceiving a plain education he learned the trade of wagon building. When about twenty-one years old he went West, spend- ing some time in Indiana and Illinois, and subsequently settling on a farm near Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he lived for some years. His health having failed, he was advised by his doctor to seek a change of climate. He accordingly, in May, 1844, joined a company with a train of 100 wagons, bound for California, at that time but little known to people this side of the Rocky Mountains. The party reached Cache Creek in June, 1845, and there broke up. Marshall went to Sutter’s Fort and procured employment from General Sutter. A year later the Mexicans made an attempt to drive the Americans from their claims in California. Marshall, with Sutter and others as volunteers, assisted General Fremont in his resistance. After many hard fights, in which Marshall took part, the campaign resulted ina treaty recognizing the independence of California. Marshall then began the erection of a lum- ber mill at Coloma, El Dorado county, General Sutter furnishing the capital. On the 18th of January, 1848, Marshall’s at- tention was called to the glitter of a golden nugget which had been exposed by the action of water upon the bed of the mill race he was constructing. On picking it up he found it different from anything he had seen before. Further examining it and wondering what it might be, he laid it on a stone and pounded it with another. It did not break into fragments or crumble under his blows, but flattened out, and he became satisfied that his find was gold. He search- ed for more, Within a few days he had collected a few ounces of the precious metal, and as he had occasion to visit Sutter's Fort in a short time he took the specimens with him. He informed Sutter of his discovery, but the General was in- credulous, and it was not until chemical experiments had settled the question be- yond all doubt that he would admit that the mineral was gold. At last all doubts faded and the excitement begau to spread. In 1849 every sailing vessel and steamer land- ing at San Francisco was crowded with ad- venturers. They knew that gold had first been found at Coloma, and many went thither. Without inquiry or negotiation they squatted upon Marshall’s land sbout the mill, seized his work oxen for fceod, confiscated his horses and marked the land off into town lots and distributed them among themselves.

* Thus robbed of his property he perforce became a prospector, but never succeeded in finding much gold. The neighbors who nad despoiled his pessessions added insult to injury by persuading that he knew the whereabouts of rich despoits of gold and re- fused to give information of them, and per- secuted him on these false suppositions. To add to his troubles, his title to the land he had purchased prior to bis great discovery was questioned; he lost it all and died a

the addition of untold millions to the wealth of California.

In 1821 the French army had in its ranks one Jewish General, Baron Wolif, one chief of battalion, and three captains. In 1883 there were serving under the French flag five Jewish Generals, five colonels, nine Majors, twenty-five Chiefs of Bat- talions, ninety Captains, eighty-nine Lieu- tenants and 104 sub-lieutenants.

The Historical Hoopskirt.

The Frankfurter Zeitung contains an interesting article on the origin and history of that revived monstrosity, the crinoline. Like many cther devices which we are ac- customed to regard as comparatively mod- ern, the crinoline seems, in reality, to be exceedingly ancient. Hesied, who wrote jin the eighth century before Christ, must have observed something of the kind, for he advises young men not to be led astray by certain women of his day who wore their clothes puffed out behind. For more than twenty centuries after Hesiod’s time, however, the crinoline languished in obscurity ; and it was not until after Queen Elizabeth had come to the throne of Eng- land that the farthingale became fashion- able. The farthingale, or vertugade, which served to extend the skirts of the ladies of quality who were Shakspeare’s contempor- aries, is described as having been made of hair and wadding. In the eighteenth cen- tury whalebone generally took the place of these cumbrous materials; but already iron or steel hoops were in use in England ; and, covered with silk or cotton, steel hoops won their way to universal favour until, a few years ago, they were partially superseded by folds of highly starched mus- lin. If ‘“‘dress improvers” were actually worn by the Greek women of Hesiod’s day, it is not improbable that they were also worn 200 years earlier, and that Helen, when she fled with Paris to Troy, wore some primitive kind of crinoline

The Embalmer Outdone.

M. J. Kergovatz, a chemist of Brest, has discovered a mode of disposing of the mortal remains of humanity which he considers preferable in every way both to inhumation and cremation. His system, particulars of which he communicates to 7'he Figaro, is an antiseptic one, of a similar character and much less expensive than the old process of embalmment. An easy application of the galvano-plastic process suffices, it seems, to preserve our ‘* tegument of clay” indefinitely. Ali that is necessary is to rnb the body cover with a solution of plumba- gine and then plunge it into a copper bath

But copper being rather an expensive mineral, zinc may be substituted for it in the case of the poor. On the other hand, persons of luxurious tastes may use silver or gold if they please, the effect being the same. The discoverer has tried his system eleven times on the human subject and on a hundred dead animals, and he has never once knew it to fail. Among the manifold advantages which would result from the adoption of his system, M. Kergovatz mentions one, which, if generally availed of, will strike a death blow at one of the fine arts. Ry simply prolonging the duration of the bath the body is rendered as hard and as inilestructible as granite, and thus the country is provided with ‘‘ready-made statues of its great men,’’. and the State and the communes will be saved in future the considerabl expense which our present dependence on the statuary art for memorial purposes imposes on them,

Several persons were making experi- ments at Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, with dynamite, in a tarn among the hills. A charge of dynamite, with a five-minutes’ fuse attached to it, was thrown into the water—the power of the explosive to be judged by the vclume of water forced up by the explosion. A sportsman, accom- panied by his dog, appeared at the moment, and as the charge was thrown into the lake the animal sprang, into the water and seized the cartridge, which it quickly brought ashore. The sportsman shouted to the dog to drop it, but the animal ran in the direction of its master, and the experi- mentalists immediately made off, the dog being kept at a distance by its master and others by a continuous shower of stones. At the end of five minutes the charge ex- ploded and the poor animal was blown to pieces, its master and friend narrowly escaping with their lives.

One of the most striking illustrations of the excessive heal of tho past few days, says the St. James Gazette, comes from a district where it might have been less ex- pected—Dartmoor. That the temperature should have been 94 deg. in the shade at Princetown, which is nearly 1,500 feet above the sea level, and more often associ- ated with the freezing to death of sentries in the winter than of sunstroke among con- victs in summer, shows how gpeat and general has been the heat in England.

In order to have Mrs, Vanderbilt's dresses fit well her dressmaker has found her double. Mrs. Vanderbilt will not endure the fatigue of being fitted herself, even when in town, and it was her own suggestion that a duplicate of herself be employed. On her order the dressmaker sought and found a perfect counterpart—a girl who was working in a cloak-shop con- nected with the business—and she has served in lieu of Mrs. Vanderbilt for near- ly a year. Not only in dimensions is she suited to the requirements, but in move- ments and carriage she is wonderfully like her employer ; and so it is possible ior the latter to see herself as others see her—in the matter of dress.
