Its combnstion is a little slower or a little faster according to the decree of moisture, thatis all. The darker the plug the greater the moisture, and many prefer the dark. idy, however, the preference taste of some.

Trial of Indian Chiefs Postponed. Wiynipec, Aug. 4. Father Andre waited on Riel in his cell yesterday, and asked him to renounce his profession of Protestantism. Riel proundly retused, saying he could not go against his convictions. He refused to be interviewed, as he proposes publishing the story of his life and bis troubles for the benetit of his family. As a result of negotiations going on between the Crown Counsel and the Counsel for the Defence, all the prisoners from Batoche were marche into a special building at the Barracks, where the lawyers spent the day conversing with them. The result is that twenty-two prisoners will plead guilty of treason-felony, and the Crown will not indict them. The exenses of the trials and delay in procuring witnesses, will thus be avoided. Although the prisoners could be sentenced fur life for treason-felony, still it is under- stood those who plead guilty will be treated leniently. The trial of the Indian chiefs and murder- ers, will be postponed ten days to permit of witnesses arriving at Regina. THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.

(Montreal Witness, 30th.) It having been stated that Mr. Thomas White had been appointed Minister of the Interior, Mr. Dickey to the Marine and Fisheries, Mr. Pope to Railways, Mr. Kirk- patrick to Agriculture, while Sir Leonard Tilley was to remain in the Cabinet without oftice, a Witness reporter called this morn- ing on Mr, Thomas White, M P., who has just returned from Ottawa. He states that the foregoing list of appointments has no foundation. In fact no ap- pointments were made, and _ none can be made without a quorum of the Cabinet. Sir John Macdorald is now on his way to River da Loup, Mr. Mackenzie Bowell has left Uttawa to place his family for the summer on Prince Edward Island. He will stop at Halifax for a day, and will not return to Ottawa until Saturday week. Mr. Caron expects to leave Ottawa to-day for River du Loup, and Mr, Pope has gone toCompton. Inaddition, no oath of office can be administered without the presence of the Governor-General, who is now salmon fishing on the Restigouche. The appointment of Mr. White as Minister of the Interior will, it is thought, be deferred until after the holidays. -—- ~ As an example of low water freight we learn that the propellor California is now en route from Chicago to Montreal with a cargo of 18,000 bushels of corn, at the ex- ceptionally low rate of le. per bushel.
