been agent during the past seventeen years. He has succeeded in gaining to the ull the confidence of his dusky wards.

Che Indians call him ‘* father,” and trust unpheitly upon his word ; and he, with his caltured family, lives and moves among them in security and peace. They gave no trouble whatever during the war of the Riel Rebellion.

As his assistant he has—who do you think? An Islander, a native of our own town—Mr. A. J. McNeill, son of Mrs. Me-

Neill, of the Revere House. The surprise ind pleasure of the meeting was mutual. ur. MeNeill has been in the Northwest

nee 1874. He is in splendid health, and is so well content that, while he would like to visit his native Province, he would rather (he told me) live in the Northwest.

Colonel McDunald took us to his ‘sample room’ and pointed out that the contractors for Indian supplies were bound to furnish goods as per the specimens there. These goods comprise everything required by the Indian, and unless the agent dishonestly plays into the hands of the contractor, and permits articles inferior to the sam ples to

products were shown (under the supervision of the Indian officials) in a tent, apart from the other exhibits. They comprised a good many samples of wheat, barley, peas, vats, potatoes, onions, ete., which were of first- class quality. Gladdie, Peltier and Osomp seemed to be leaders among the Indian farmers, and the competition between them is evidently keen. Osomp exhibited three splendid steers--rolling in fat. One of them, three years cld, measured in my pre- sence, girted just eight feet.’ Another, not quite so large, but finer in point of quality, and fatter, was awarded “first prize,” in competition with those cf the white farmers.

There were in the Indian exhibit wicker baskets and plaited table mats, knitted mits, socks and other articles made by the besides the Chief's gorgeous dress. The bread exhibit was interesting. There was first, a hard heavy round bannock or cake, labelled ** As we lived in 1881,” then uiother cake of better quality, labelled, ‘**As we lived in 1884;” and, again, a large raised iow of excellent quality, labell- ed, ‘*As wejlive now,” ‘* nish-a-shin,” meaning very good,

J have given prominence to the Indian exhibit because it was unique, and because it afforded some evidence of a satisfactory solution of the Indian problem, as a result of the policy under which the Government is now acting. But it must not be under- stood fora moment that I consider the ex- hibit of our white brethern at Broadview any less creditable or less worthy special mention than those we had seen further east. They were, on the whole, equally as good as any and better than some. The competition was comparatively large and keen ; and the animals, roots, vegetables, etc.,first-class—such as would reflect credit upon any farming community —and wonder- ful in view of the fact that the settlement is not yet five years old.

In the evening we were treated to a ban- quet at the Queen’s Hotel. The toast to the press was proposed ina very eloquent and appropriate speech, by a highly edu- gentleman named Hawkes, who had been the editor of an English newspaper.

A PERFECT TREASURE.

New Way Around the World.

A large and appreciative audience gathered in the Academy of Music last their

night, and were delighted with ‘trip around the world,” under the on ol - guidance of Professor Buell. It was one a

of the most pleasing, and appreciated entertainments given in Halifax for a long time. As works of art the stereos- copic views were almost perfect and delighted the audience. Professor Buell commenced his entertainment by treating his auditors to some splendid views of Moutreal and its famous institutions. Then he travelled westward through Lake Nipissing and its matchless sceuery, the Sault St. Marie, Port Arthur, and along the line of the C. P. R. to Winnipeg. The magnificent buildings and streets of that half-way city across the coutinent, surprised that portion of the audience who had never enjoyed the privilege of having been ‘tout west.” At Winnipeg the audience witnessed the debarkai‘on of the troops and then accompanied them over the excit- ingscenes of t he Riel rebellion, ending with sume admirable views of the trial of Riel at Keginia, This portion of the enter- tainment was particularly interesting to the ** funkers ”—who still strut around in gilt- edged uniforms, but dont’t answer the roll call in the hour of need. The must inter- esting of all, however, were the views vt the majestic Rockies—a series illustrating the magnificent and picturesque scenery commenciug at Calgary and erding in the regions of perpetual snow.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the Jarger air passages, but the thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them.

When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be vhere, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they du they cannot do well.

Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia, catarrh, cansumption or any of the family of throat and nese and head and lang obstruc- tions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is to take Boschee’s German Syrup, which any druggist will sell at 75 cents a bottle.
