Our Island Indians.

The annual report of the department of Indian affairs for the year ending Decem- ber 31st, 1391, has just been received. The reports in this blue book, however, are made up to June 30th, 1891. Mr. Jean 0. Arsenault, Superintendent of the Lennox Island and Morell reserves on this Island, reports that there was no re- markable change among the Micmacs at these stations during the year. He re- ports, however, a great improvement both in the moral and social condition of the youth of Lennox Island. They have A temperance society organized by the first pupils of the Indian school, to which 3118 members, numbering twenty. P33’ 30 3"‘ nual fee of 25 cents each. The school is well attended, no less than thirty being present on the occasion 01 his last visit. The tabular statement, however, 350'" only 21 on the roll with an average atten- dance of 12. The Indians added consid- erbly to the area of land brought under cultivation during the year. At the Mor~ ell reserve there were only five families- two of whom were well to do and living on the produce of thzir lands. The In- dian population of the Island was report- ed at 314, a slight reduction due, to un- usual sickneu during the winter. The Dominion Government grant $2000 au- nually for thagndians and last year they expended the following amounts:

1,997 68 The Superintendent General of Indian Adair: in his report shows that con«ider- able attention is paid to the sanitary im- provement of the Indian homes of Canada, but adds that the most serious barrier to a complete hygean system has yet to be removed, and that is comprised in the badly ventilated and over-crowded houses they occupy. On moral and social grounds also he urges that the usual one- roomed house should be replaced by houses of separate apartments. He regrets too that there is no industrial institution ‘in the Mgritime Provinces for the educa- tion and training in useful occupations of the Indian children. He says the superior condition of the Indians of Ontarioas an industrialclass to that of the Indians of Quebec and the Maritime Provinces is in a considerable measure due to the training the former receive at such schools. He thinks two schools should be established in the Maritime Provinces.

The Keely Gold Cure.

The Keely Gold Cure for drunkenness has been pronounced a failure, to the grief of all who are awaiting some means by which this terrible habit may be srsdiatsd. The Medical Press has thoroughly investigated the so-called cure, and pronounces it worse that a hum- bug, as the drugs which are administered have finally a worse efiect on the system than the desired liquors would have. The ingredients of Dr. Keely’s injections are found, on analysis, to be atropine, strych- nia, cafibine, cocaine, and codeine. The doctor of course claims that the analysis is not correct, but if this is so why does he not make the formula public? His course all through has been suspicious, and anything but that of a true philan- thropiat.

British Elections

The British elections are proceeding merrily. Yesterday’s contests gave the Liberals fresh courage. About 100 mem- bershave been elected and today over one hundred more will be chosen in English, Irish and Scotch towns and in the London districts. The coun y elec- tions, which will return about four hun- dred members, commence later and will linger through next week. The full parlirmeut is composed of 670 members. Yesterday and to-day will probably de- termine who shall rule England for the next term.

esting the appointment of

“The Mother,"to a position on the library stafi, was withdrawn. It bered that the attention of the ‘Gov ment was drawn to Mr. Campbell’s b it liant work last session with the sugges- tion that he should be appointed to a more lucrative position than that held by him in the civil service. Mr. L‘\l.ll'l0l‘ supported the suggestion declaring that nothing equal to “the mother" had ap- peared since the days of Edgar Allan Poe. When it was published in Harper's Mag- azine for April last year it attracted, perhaps, more attention than any single poem written by an American ever re ceived. The editors of the American magazines and some of the daily newspa- pers wrote editorials devoted to its merit, and the London Athineum, the great English literary authority, gave a long article on it. It is regarded as one of the great productions of this generation of poets.

The Globe says:—-—“The Mother” has for its subject the death of the bride- mother whose infant soon follows her to the grave. In the old tales of the north- land there is one that tells how the little motherless, new-born babes grow Wan and fade away and that the old women shake their heads and whisper mysterious- ly of the mother spirit that comes to cradle her little one in her cold arms un- til she chills the feeble life and she and her babe are together in death. Mr. Campbell takes us to the motlier’s side and sings of her dreamy pain, her wild unrest, her stealthy revisiting of her home and her defiance of all that is when once her child lies beside her in the grave. The skill with which the post has combined the reality and uureality draws the sympathies of the reader.

Men would have called me a thing of harm,

was the plaint of the restless mother-soul, and oh feels that they should not, that she was right and real and not ghostly. Further on she cries:—

l

dumb, Hush, baby, hush! for mother is come.

And then she has gone back to the un- real, and is ghostly again and silenced by death. The music of the verse, the deft- uses with which the metaphors and simi- lies are applied, the melodious word-plac- ing and the strongly drawn character are, after all, second in power e.___u.nder- tone of mother-love, the tenderness, the earning, the humanityywhich is sounded in every line.” ' " ‘

As many of our readers would no doubt like to see the poem which received such high encomium°, we give itherewith:

THE MOTHER. I.

It was April, blcesoming spring,

They buried me, when the birds did sing; Earth, in clammy, wedging earth, A They banked my bed with a black, damp girth.

Under the damp and under the mould.

I kenned my breasts were clammy and cold.

Oit from the red beams, elantng and bright, I kenned my checks were sunken and white.

I was a dream, and the wo:ld was a dream, And yet I kenned all things that seem.

I was a dream, and theworld was a dream, But you cannot bury a red sunbeam.

o,

For though in the under-grave’s doom- night

I lay all silent and stark and white,

Yet over my head I seemed to know‘

The murmurous moods of wind and snow. -

The snows that wasted, the winds that blew, The rays that slanted, the drew

The water ghosts up from lakes below, And the little flowei‘—souls in earth that grow. ~

Though they had buried me dark and low My soul with the seasons seemed to grow.

11. I was a. bride in my sickness sore, I was a bride nine months and more.

From throes of pain they buried me low, For death had finished a mother's woe.

But under the sod, iii the grave’s die-id doom. _

I dreamed of my baby: in glitnuu-r and gloom.

Was broken in wailiogs on my dead breast.

I dreamed that a rose-leaf hand did cling; Oh, you cannot bury a mother in spring.

I heard the sound of each sleepers breath.‘ 4 Like waves that break on the shores of death.

I listened a space at my chamber door, Then stole like a moon-ray over its floor.

My babe was asleep on ti stranger's arm. “ 0 baby, my baby, the grave is so warm,

“ Tim ugh dark and so deep, for mother is there!

“O come with me from the anguish of earth,

Where the bed is banked with a blossom- ing girth.

“ Where the pillow is soft and the rest is long,

And mother will croon you a slumber song.

“A slumber song that will charm your eyes _

To a sleep that never in earth song lies!

‘:The loves cf earth your being can spare,

But never the grave, for mother is there."

I nestled him to my throbbing breast, And stole me back to my long, long rest.

And here I lie with him uu lei‘ the s’ars, Dead to earth, its peace and its wars.

Dead to its hates, its hopes audits harms, So long as he cradles up soft in my arms

,And heaven may open its shimmering doors, - And saints make music on pearly floors,

And hell may yawn to its infinite see, But they never can take my baby from me.

For so much a part of my soul he hath grown That God doth know of it high on His

throne.

And here I lie with him under the fl iwera That sun winds rock through the billowy hours,

With the night airs that steal from the murmuring sea, ‘ Bringing sweet peace to my baby and me.
