On his eighteenth birthday, Ulric was summoned by Mr. Preitenbach, after the latter had had a long conversation with Martin respecting the future destiny of | as he used, in master, to call | the youth.

The faithful servant was of the same opinion; but he objected to Ulric’s remsining at Hamburg, and for this he had his own pris } | one of the best mercantile houses in Ham- | burg ; but he had for several years withs | drawn immediate superintends | ence of the business, having resigned the | Mr. | from the | whole to his nephew, who was only required | to give him a weekly report of affairs. Mr. lreitenbach had but little personal interest | there, for he derived no income from the business; and he considered it more the | | property of his nephew, whom he destined to be its future possessor.

Besides, what could happen to the | boy when he was in an office where he | must be under the immediate eye of his | fostersfather?

WIHTAT Ministerial organs generally ciaim credit for the Minister of the Interior for the happy copsummation of a treaty with the Salteaux and Crees Indians -ceding the 'Appelle Valley, &c. ~ whereas it is a matter of fact, notorious in Manitoba at the time, that the presence of this august manipulator of Governmental machinery at the Indian Council was rather a detriment than other- wise, as those who have experienced the effects of his excitable manner in chamber consultation can readily understand. Those who perused the report of that prolonged and ably conducted discussion with the Plain chiefs will remember that it was to the nice tact and temper displayed by Govs ernor Morris on that occasion that the Do- minion owed the successful accomplish- ment of one of the most important treaties whilst those acquainted with Indian eccen- tricities will know the status attained by the Hon. Minister of the Interior in the Indian mind from the name of “Yeu-ys and it is somewhat suggestive that the term, according tothe red man's lexicon, means ‘ Greenhorn.’ According to res presentations, Mr, Laird’s memorable visit, heralded as the panacea ‘for Jand evils ex- isting in the North West resuited in leaving things in a more unsatisfactory condition than they were in before, though, during his stay,some hundreds of disaffected settlers applied to him for the settlement of their ciaims. In some cases the aggriev- ed claimants were taunted with wishing to get all the country, and in all cases scolded in the usual happy manner of the lofty Islander. One thing was attempted during his stay in the way of settlement of disputes; this was in the case of Prairie settlers on the west side of Red River. These claimed the allottment of wood lots to them, for purchase at Government price, from the wooded strip on the east side of the river, and which had been promised them by the land office. For this case the minister's canny [sland mind soon found a solution, by the promulgation of an offer of 50,000 acres of wood land upon which the settler ree 41 875: ase,’ by which he is known amongst them, | henest men, ie selects the great COLRESPORDENCE, ALLEGED JUDICIAL PARTIALITY, To the Dear Sin -— Monday the 29th, was quite alively day in our busy little town chief place of attraction was the Souris public (?)

A glance at the personnel ef the Bench would be sufficient to impress upon any one the wholesome truth that in~ telligence, wisdom «and impartiality, were the composition of these men. not Mr. Underhay forego this opportunity of perpetrating a joke and select men who had to rely for feul and building timber, | for sale by publie auction, thereby placing within the grasp of the speculators a vital | monopoly. Nothing but the peremptory | protests of members for the province, and fear of an outraged public, prevented the consummation of this little speculation.

No person had urged more strongly upon the Dominion Government the propriety of increasing the salaries st- tached to the offices of our Judges than he. He had brought every impossible ins fluence he could to bear. By letter and by telegram he had striven to obtain a re- cognition of our claims. But the Domin- ion Legislature held that if those official. | Were paid double the amount we curselyes ! | had been paying them for the last seven | or eight years, they were paid as much «- ; we could expect; and it could not be de- | nied that they had. at least. some reasons | for the position they had taken. EDUCATION, On the motion to granta sum for the purpose of edneation. suflicient Mr. Stewartsaid he,for one, woul 1 not vote | for the grant unless the Educational System were amended, According to the Report i of the School Visitor's, one third of the ehil- dren of the province do not go to the pub. lie schools. The schools, of Charlottetown especially, are represented 2s being in | very disgraceful condition. The system, } on which we are expending $62,000, annu- ally, is working in a wretched misc rable manner. The education imparted in then is no better, if not worse, than it was twenty years ago. A remedy should be applied, | He (Mr. Stewart) was surprised that the Government, alter the reports they liad re. ceived from their officials, were not prepur - ed to bring in some amendments to ou: school system. In his opinion tne Board of Education should be abolished and ail our public schools put under the control of oneman. We should keep on introducing reforms. We should not stand still, we should not be contented until our Edues. tional System is brought up to something like the perfection it has reached in oth places.

The Government should send the School Visitor to other schools in the city, and let him compare them with the places he had described.

He would find | good teachers: clean, weil venti.ated schoo! rooms, and rapidly improving scholar: Nevertheless, the Government would pay the money of the publié towards the sup | port of the filthy, ill condueted schools and shutout the clean well managed «du cational establishments from any partici- | pation in it.
