The mai-ch from Calgary was through rolling prairie, free fnmi tinibiT, wolf willows, wild rohe bushes, or shrubs of any kind, cleur prairie grar-'^ alsninding in the up'ands, with i»ea viiiu and otliiT lowland grasses in the bottoms. The chief noticealde points are : Snr\ islierry Cn-ek, some fifty or fifty-five mih-s fnnii Cal- gary. Thiscreek is not a large one, .and tlie crossing is easily elFectet). It luns through a val'ey itr coulw some seventv-hve or oneiiun- dreil feet lower than the level of the uplands, and the appn-aches fn*m both, north and south, are comparatively t-nsy. Salt Lake, is an alkaline take of considerable size, not mon- than five inihs fnnn Red Deer Kiver, though some fifti<«n niih-s from the spot where the Calgary and Kdmonton trail croRses that stleaiii. In travelling fn.in Si.rvisU'rry Cr- ek to Salt Lake, the first half fif the y rney is through "is-n prairie, free fnmi I. i-h, but what is known a.s Lone Pine marks, about half the distance \m-. tw pen these two camps, and also indicates the dividi.ig line betv*een the open prairie and tlie woislcfi regions iif the north. The country now U'cniiips nior. < I U-sg wisule*), bluffs and ridges of timlicr being the rub- rather than the exctiption. At the crossing of the "-d I leer Kiver the banks of the stream are well wissted. After crossing the K»ii l»ee|-, the trail lends thnnigh roiling, low-lying hills that are well timlsTed, the pirvailing wetKls Is-ing gn^y wil- low and is>|ilHr, with occasional small chimiw of spnice. T» n miles from the cnissing of the Ked Iti-er, Blind Man's Kiver iscrosst-r prevail on either side of the trail for some fifteen miles. Fifteen miles further on the Lillian vilhiue nt Pear flills is reachei!. This is dtTidetily a disinal hioking siHit. The surn'imdingeountry is low and wet, Jiear Hills representing only a very slight' elevation above the surrounding swamp. Ih-re the tiinlH-r, though small, is thick, and stritHs of forest, blulfs and swamp can Lie fonnti siifli- cient to furnish hiding places for thousands of men.

Applegarth from the Battlefonl Indians:— Applegarth was Farm Instructor to Ked Pheasant's band. On the night of Monday, March liOth, he was making uji his n-turnswith the intention of going to Batthford nt-xt day. The Indians of his reserve hud pntfessed great friendliness for the whites. Like nit Iiirlians, 1 hey said that sincetrouble had arisen tlnv miglit figlit, but they would fight on thesnleof the whites. Applek'arth went to Iwt) tib<>ut mid- night. At 3 o'cliK;k in the morning he heanl a ♦apjiing at the dt«)r. tietting up le- went to Bee what was the matter, when an Indian fpiickly strode in and cloMf) the dmir Is-liind him.

Applegarth tli'iui:lit his time had come, but luckily this was not the war narty. They were eighteen in nr.inUr, six bucks and twelve sipiaws, and the friendly Indians whisis-i-ed that their inisaion was to hold him until the warriors nrrivcfl.

On the fthore-i I have noticed fiint, ajfale, feldspar, and ^:reat liuant'tiis of iH'tritieil wrMHi, while curious layers of cks — like some (JiantV Causeway in nuniaturt!— frinffe the river side at two or three phices on the way.

" An odd small binl twitters on a ImuKh often enoU'.;ll to let «■* know that the desohttion is ivtt ahsolutely complete, and one or two liutteitlieM are seen, their U-autiful pbnnajft leii.tjii^ n charm to the dull backKrouiid ni Handy h'.un.

In another I'art of the barge u barVter is nt work cutting hair, which he crops into the scalp, leaving the stumps to stand en-ct like stulit'le in a harvest field.

They en n subsist on tuft grass, and do not rei|uire blanketing, They are docile, and for campaigning are found more useful, in some resiH-cts, than the bigger aniniaU we itr'iU^ht ironi Ontario or the United States. 'I'he larirer horses are jeah-ns of our 'shaganap- pies,'anil they kicked and fretU'd at the little creatuies mo much that we were obliged to Imard them off for protection. As I write, I hear tho big ones kicking in their stalls Iteneath me, and the voices of the orderlies are shouting hoarw oaths lit them to U' still. Tin* noise blenils with the chorus 'Hold the Kort,' which tho gleecluh has started. "Suddenly I hear the clatter of many voices and the glee club stops its clianting. ( Ulii ers rush from the saloon, aiipenid. I''ield glasses are out, forlheruiH soim thing moving on the hori/on. Friends or foes we cannot tell at tliis great distance, and the bugle sounds the assembly. Then then- is the rush of many feet, nnd the men fall in at their appointed posts on the barges.

Then the rifles me I plat^'d horiwmtally on thebre-stworks, and the I nien stand lielund them. The deck hands I move alM'ut uneasily, and the captain of the Hteamer, up in the pilot-hontH*, wears an anxious nxpressiim on his well bronxetl fsice. Some iA the officers have gone to their staterooms and n-tum with their revolvers buckled on, or with Winchesters slung over their shoulders. Theie is no flurry and everything is liusiriessdike and eacy. Col. Van Straubeii/ie is still looking through his tield-gla.ss, and the moving figures ill tho distance come nearer and fringe the hori7.on like a mirage. ('a[itain Howartl luui loailed his (tatling, and his gnnneraait' at their jsl.■■L^.

"The moving figures on the plains converge to their centre, and they look as if closing for consultation. Theynipwdot the hori/im like moving balls of eUmy on a brownish-emerald lawn, and ('ol.

As they come closer « o si-e the wicleawake hats of the men and their long Isxits, bandoleers, full of ritle and revolver cartridges, and their sleek jKinies, all looking ramvir a fit ijurrrr. Captain i^enis is in command, and he came to fiad out what delayed us on our way, l-'rom him we heard of the fight at Bativhe's Cioss- ing, and we were told that if atta«.-ketl at all we would itrobably catch it at the MiH>Ke wihhIs, a few miles south of our destination. And then we should hurry on. The men at the front were short of ammunition, the wounded wanted medical comforts, the horses hiul no o;its, and we couUi supply them all from the baiges beside us. It waH a weary journey. There was no break to the monotony of the scenery along the way, and the time hung bluggishly on our bands. 'J'he routine duties were few, and we all knew that we were slowly consum- ing the sunpltes that our comrailea so badly needed at the front. "On the 1st of May we saw something mov- ing oil tho river liehind us. It was a long way off, but we soon found it to Is- a canoi>, and we then knew that I>r. Douglas, V. C, was in our wake, and that, aided by the current, he would s(«»n iH- on board. He left Swift Cm rent six days after us, anil here he hae at home in hm frail bark, and as he lifted his ca|> in rcsjHjiise to the * thrw cheers * which v»ere U'llowwi aB he neared the steamer, we could see how bronzed his face was and how nmgh his garb. For five days he had glvt n us a stern chase. At night, he told me, lie upset his i canoe, and wrapping hiiiiHclf in bis great-coat j nnd blanket he slept on the banks of tbe river until the earliest stn'aks nf dawn, when he wa« I again on his way. He lived principally on ' canned meat and liani tack, and he was often | obliged to drag his caiuH- over the shallows. I But lie was used to it.

We have pleasure in presenting to tiie public the first of two Souvenir Numbers of ®he ^anartian ^ictotiat and ^Uuisttatfd ^Var Win\'». Th'^se will form a complete letter- \. :as and illustrated history of the late North- West Rebellion. Each part consists of 24 pages, composed of twelve pages of illustrations and ten of reading matter, and in addition, a very fine colored supplement. The ten pages of reading matter contain the equivalent of about 140 pages of an onlinary book, while the pages of illustrations are, in themselves, a complete history of the principal events and persons con- cerned in the rebellion. The history is written by Mr. T. Arnold Ilaultain, M.A., the clever author of "The War in the Soudan." The illustrations have been compiled at great expense from the most authentic sources, including sketches from our special artist accompanying the expedition. The artists en- gaged in the preparation of the illustrations comprise the best talent available, both in Canada and the United States, and include the following :— W. D. Blachley, J. W. Bengough, J- D. Kelly, J. Humme, W. W. Wessbroom, A. Lampert, Wm. Bengough. The retail price of the work is 5octs. per part ($1.00 for the complete history) and, considering the quality and amount of matter given, is perhaps the most remarkably cheap publication ever offered in Canada. The two parts can be bound in book form if desired, and w 11 make a very attractive volume. THE SECOND PART (SOUVENIR NUMBER^ IVo. 2) WILL BE ISSUED ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 1st. And will contain the ccntinuation and comph^tion of the History of tht; Rebellion, and the full comiiliment of fine illustrations. The illustrations will represent the (jrincipal events from the Battle of Fish Creek, and will include the Battles of Cul Knife Creek and Batoche, There will also be issued with the Second Part a very line Colored Supplement, suitable for framing.
