It is to be regretted that it is almost impossible in a translation to do full justice to the sparkling and epi- grammatic beauty of the literature of “2 Arbois 7’— ‘‘Every man whose gift raise him above the ordinary standard looks up to an idea, which under favoring winds he easily at- tains, bet from which he rapidly falls away under the retrogressive impulse of misfor- tune. Wood, the sculptor, has grasped Sir John’s idea, and has embodied its ex- pression in the splendid bust he has made of him. The bust is admirable. The shrewdness of the model is given to perfe- tion, with ideal shades which the clouds of reality at times obscure. The head lives, thinks, jests. It is the head of a man of all-conquering tact or of a great actor. An actor Sir John undoubtedly is.

NO. 514 The North West Indians. (Ottawa Free Press.) The alarm created seme time ago by re- | ports of coming disturbances among the In- 'dians of the Canadian North-West, te some extent subsided on the publication of along letter from Col. MeLeod, the Chief of the Mounted Police Force, and tow accounts come from Battleford which sre even more reassuring. Big Bear, wo, threatened to bring in 10,000 ofa followrg: to interview Lieut. Governor Laird, is now represented to be in a more placable mood and it is thought he will be persuaded to remain at home—at any rate-we are told that the people of Battleford can give a long furlough to fear and troublesome dreams. It seems, after all, that the Indian scare never amounted to very much, and that, at any rate, with wise and prudent management, anything epprneching. a serious ontbreak may be prevented. he observance of the most absolute good faith on the part of the Canadian authorities will, we are persuaded, always avert mischief, and it will be their fault if we have an Indian war onour handa, unless, indeed, new elements of disturbance from the other side of the border line are introduced to mar the good relations now existing. ant - —— beam © — —-—---~-—- Agricultural.
