IMihitiori by the HUioke of t'leir ritfe tire. They
took excellent advantagit, alno, of every bit of
cover, and with thi» the ravine amply (tupplied
them. Hence they were able to aim with cool-
neHH and luenroey while tlii'V thenn'elve:4 re-

accuracy of their aim wa» reuutrkable. It

I'orre^t, made a dai*h acnxm the opening and
gained the top of tlif» ravine. The n-nuiiiiih-r
of the forces were grailually worki-*! up and
kept chwiug .>n the ravine. In the meantime
the artillery were Iwing moved from |niint tn
|N*int, so aa tn ohtiin the nuxtt nflvantageoiiH
|>o9ition for dhelling the ravine. They drove
the n'lyUont of oneof the lum-'^, and the -traw I
Rtack was wt on tire. The n-lH-ls were wen to i
leave them wwking cover in the ravine. Short-
ly Nfore ten o'clock, thrw companien of tho
IJoyal (irenadiern critHs*'*! the river and took up I
jMiBition on the left centre, at the brow of the \
hill overlooking the ravine. By this time the
tiring from the h-Im-Ih wa* but feeble, ofH-ming
to indicat*- that their ammtinition waa running
niit. The tire of the fkirmishers who were de-
ployed in the ci'iiipanies in the centre and left
ci'iitre was very etfectivc. AUiut this time a
IiouKe in the ravine w.is nearly ilemolishiKl by

left no detui on the tield, thiiugh twenty-five of
them were shot and nl^tut a dozen capture*).
The reltels seem to l>e LomiHirwHi of uIh'IiI an
e'pial number of half-breeds and Indians, in all
ui't more than two hundn'd. AH were mm-
mande<I by iMiniont.
This, in brief, iithe Ftorj'of the tirstsoealled
battle in which imrtriHips wereengiiged in their
tiwk of quelling the uprising. If it wan n«tt an
engagonient of great magnitude, yi't in ito itilhi-
ence u|Ntn our men, and more ei*|«ecially in the
loss«-8 they KUfittinetl, it was no trivial affair.
True, it was anitKitiiuention afterwanls whet her
«t' lia4l in reality snown the relx-ls tln'y were
defeated. No charge was niaiie, the ravine
remained uiiexploretl, a retmgr.ode movement
was nia<Ie Ix-fore camping for the night after
tlif l>attle was over ; and this n'trogrnde move-
nerit was greeted with exultant yells from the
few n-beln win* yet remained on the scene of
C'lnflict. The (Jeneral himself, aluo, issaid not
to have atl:uhe*i much imimrtance t*i the results
of the skirmish, but it showed him what great
n'liance he could place in the tnMiT»s unrfer his

"FiinMKisnCHKEK, 35 miles north of Clarke's
Cro-sinp, NW.T.. .April ;J5. I have had an
atVaT witli the reU'ls at tliic s|>ot, on the east
bank of the river. My a<hanced sttonts were
tinHl on fiom a bluff, but we managed to hold
our own till the main U>dv arrived, when I t<Kik
measure* to n-fx-l the attack, wliich was over
nl>out 2.30 p.m. We have cij»tun-d a lot of
their iKuiies, and have thre*' or four, upiian-ntly
tiiilians an) half-breetls, in the corner of a bliitf
whn have done a great deal of miwhii'f, being
eviilently their Is-st t^hota ; and as I am unwil-
ling to lone mon> men in trying to take them, T
have surrounded the liluff and shall await until
they have ex))ended their amnuinitioii, to take
thiui. Lord Melgtmd joined me, as soon as he
C'<uld, fnim the other side of the river w ith the
lOlli Royals and the Winnip(-ghalf-batt<'ry, hut
the atfair was over before the most part of thr
left c'llumn had crossed, as it is a work of dn'h
culty ^> cross. I have onlei-ed the reft tofoll-.w,
and shall inar.-h to-morrow with toe unite*!
force on Ilatoche's. The trto|>8 lieliaM-d very
well in this, their first afTair. The killed and
Wounded, are, I deeply regret to say, too
numerous."
After gi\ine the loss he continues: " I do
not know what the l'<t>sof the enemy was, but
I doubt not it was pntty severe though from
their advantage of |Hwiti'>n nnd motle nf light-
ing, it might U' l^ss than Morn. I shall proceed

The Indians wer certainly foUwwing them,
Through this varied region the coliinm | and were mswibly waiting till nightfall to kill
pressed on with zeal. Battlef"id was reachwl
on April tlu> 2^trd. This march li;n* U'eii pub-
licly |iraised. Mr. Kdgar luldressed the House
thus on April *^ith : " While the whole coun-
try has been intensely interested in all the news
from the triK)|is under (ien. Middleton, all
Canadians have been hlh-d with admiration at
the extraonlinarv and lirilliant march which
has lieen made hy iW. Otter's column from
the Saskatihewan to Batthf^id. Kveryone is
interested in knowing how the lr'.o|* have
sto'Kl the journey. I Wdie^e \W\,- is direct
telegra)ihic coMitnunication with IVitth-ford.
No doubt thei lovernineiit have infomied tht in-
selve.t as to the health of the column. I widd
hketoheai frotoiheMinisiirof ^^^luilwllJlttl!.•

piveji me very \i\'-\i nleio-un* in«hid, in answer-
ing the (lue-ttioii "f tlie lion, rf tieinan, to st.ite
thathehas ipialihi'd the march of Cot. Otter's ,
column as it i)ic.;ht to W ipialitied. It is con- i
sidered by tlioi-e who are tnithority on such
matters, and I don't presume to express my 1
own opinion alone, as a manh ih-erving the \
hi;,dn'f*t enconinm tli;it could be given a feat of
that kinil. We know tl.at *'o|. Otter is one of i
the very Is'st men wo hive ill the force in the '
(.'anadian militia s«>i\ice. and now that an op-
portunity has been givcii him to kIm.w his great ]
value he has not ls>en found wanting. (Cheers.) |
I am happy to st >t*', from a telegram which I j
have received from Batttefnrd, that the tniops I
are in the very Is-st possible lietlth and spirits.
They have stood that wonderful inarch for it j
is really a wonderful march -in a manner none
c<iiild have exiwcted from them.
It was well that Colonel Otter and his nun had
huiriefl. Sad things had U'en done at Battle-
foni. The Indians, after killing Paym-, had
them. All Applegartii could do was to tell his
wife he Would ivk them to make short work of
the business. His wife and the little girl criw)
alittle, but kept u|i their courage well. They
ha<l no arm» \\\\\\ them. Before leaving the
house, ,\pplegaith liml Is-en searcluHl by the
srpiaws, and his amis and money tikeiifroni
liUM. Thnonly def.-nce the paity nad against
their pursuers was an axe.
Attwoo'elotk ill the morning f.f Wednesday,
they rested f.ir a coiiph' of hours. The horses
were nearly exhau-ted. But a little U-foro
morning thev were put together again aud
ilriven on. When daylight came there went no
Indians in sight. They dmve on all Wiihirs-
d.iy, and at nightfall t'H-k another n*st.
.\ppleparth never closed his eyes, however.
Sonietinie after miilnight thi-y went on, and
the fon'noon of Thursday they came up with
•fudge Honhaii, who had left B.ittleford the
tm-vituis Sunday with his wife aud child, Mrs,
Hae, wife of the Indian agi-nt, a h red man,
the two Parkers of BattlefonI, and i\ man
named Foster- tight in all. This bioiight up
tlie p'lrty to twelve persons. When the judge
hft Batth'fonl there was no trouble, allli- ugh
'rouble wiut apiireheiided. Applegaith's reisjrt
hiirrieii up tlieir movements considerablv.
Thirty miles from Swift Current thev we're
overtaken by Constable Storer and Mr. Smart.

W.1S the Is arer of d-i-patchestoCoI. Hi.-rLhmer,

was within a day's manh of Battlefonl.
Ston-r had pluckily vohmtwn'd toRo out and

transpired. On his way he met Smart, who
was coming in with go..ds, and the twoj.iu'-

Let u' pass now to Colonel Otter's march to
I'attlefonl. It was a tititewortl " one, and de-
Hcrves a somewhat detailed dewi iption.
('olonel Otter's division, as will Is- reniem-
IhtmI. was to leave the line (tf railway at Swift |
Current, ami pri>cee<i northward by the South '
Saskatchewan crossing, with all jxissiblc s|»eed j
to the relief of Bftttlefnrd. Swift Current \\ftfl ■
left on April Kith, and ten days fiom that riate I
exactly the i>e<.pleof jiattleford welcomed their j
rescin-rs. I
As far astlieCrtwsing " C " f'oini'any formed
the advatice, thrown out in skirmishing order. (
Then followed the (iatling guns under Major i
Short, and " 1* " Battery. A line iif teams |
followed by the I'oot Ouards and the t^ueen's
< )wi. bntnght up the ri'ar. v\fter the Cntssing,
the march was made in clohe column, the
Ml nnted INilice forming the scouting party.
The tn>o|i8 present* cl a capital ap|»earance, all
the olhcers on fo.tt ; the men carrying blankets
and rubber coverings, their pucks being for-
wanled by the teams.
The ex]^ stations were to cover 40 niiles a
day, but this was fniind to be iinjsissible.
Three days were lost at th'; Crossing on ac-
count of the hi^h water.
The whole distance to \yc traversed U-tween
Swift (Current station, on the main line of the
C.P.R., and Battleford, is about I'dO mih-s.
The march to the Saskatchewan ia aliout 30
miles. The country between the railway and
the river is n<ainly upland prairie, atfording
sniiMith, dry footing. Once aciosjt the ri\er
th'.'re are no bottom l.inds to crogtt, luit the
ascent of the north bank Wgins at once. Next
comes a short march of six or seven miles tiver
upland prairie which brings the column to a
small BWeet-w ater lake. After leaving the lake,
tlie trail Ir-ads up a h'lig gradual ascent nmcje
over undulating prairie. Then conies a very
sudden, but slight descent into a valley, with
a smooth, level tsittoin alioiit a mile wide, and
covered with A rich loamy soil. On the farther, 1
or what apjK-ars to have iwen the north bank, |
there is a h'fty ridge which stands up out of |
the plain like a huge wall, and up thii ridge the i
trail winds through a luggeil, rockls)nlered, |
and somewhat tortuous pass. Aliove this I
ridge the ascent continues as the march
leads still northward over slightly rolling
I'rairie for some twenty miles, after which
nigh ndling hillR are entered. Jlere the soil is
dry and gravelly, and rkali lakes are numerous,
but then! are also pitols and lakes of sweet
water. Though the trail through these hilUi is
starU'd for Battleford, and on their way had \ Current on Monday morning, and the majority
' ' " "" .> . . 1 .' ' of the party went east (Ui Tuesday.
In may Is* of into est to kii'iw that the
Indians who were iM-nt on killing Apple;;.kitli
were ti-'"-e whiwe rations Iiad Is'eii stopjsilby
him until they consenti-d to work.
This ended a (light which undoubtedly is
only a sample of many iK:curring in the north
coui'tiy now, and v, hiidi illustrates the unhappy
plight of the setthrs throughout all the dis-
atTei'ted regiMii.
Hen- we will for the presi-nt, leave P.nttlefonI
and Colonel Otter's niai-ch to that town, and
notice what steps Major-deneral Strange is
taking for the relief of Kdmonton.

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-<l, a d<H'p,
narrow stream. Beyond Blind Man's Kiver
the country is slightly more o|-en, th<nigli |»rge
bluffs of small tinilM>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. At this season of the year, the travelling
stojuted at Barney Treniont's, alsmt half way
to Battlefonl ; and that tht-y ha.1 pn>ceeded to \
take away lii*- horses anrl cattle, nnrj on his n--
sisting, had killed him in his own linii.-e, and
then helped tliemsehes toall tiny waut»'<l. Mr. i
Tn'iiiont was an unmarried man, and he h.od i
U'on on \erj- friendly ternis with the Stonev*, ,
many of whoi. ;.ad workeil for hiin fn-io time
to time. It '-as further le.trried that, on the
same Monda,, morning Is-fore the part., left
the reserve, some of the Stoneys hail gone to
tlic Cn-es or Ketl Pheasant n-serxe to tell theni '
to go down to Battlefonl, as the day for action
had come, and that tht- lirotherof the chief had
irone with them. Barnev Tn-mont had U-eii \
kiltiMlls-tween ;t aud t ['.m. ; Battlefonl itself;
had U-en pillagt-d. The Indians had taken
everything they fancied, and what they could ;
not use they tirokc in pii-cea. Even cari>ets I
they ton* into shretls and thn-w u|Mm the '
streets. On returning Imm*-, tli» brother of the j
('?reecliief infnrmed Anplegarth that it would (
Im- U'st for him t<"take his wife and her sister to
Swift Ciirn-nt for safety. Ilesaid he would do
all he could to pieservethem, but was afraid he
would not be .ible to resist the others. Apple-
garth acconiiiigly at once connnenc'tl t^> pack
up a few things, although it was ;t a.m., and
wliiie he was doing sotle- Indians hehs-f] theni-
wlves to whatever they wantin). "They i-ven
searched his ]HK-kets for money, and tisik his
revolver from him ; ami also stripist) him of
his overcoat. F.very house and ston* on the
south side of the Itattle Kiver was rans:icked,
and all the gin sis not carrietl off wi redep-troyeil.
All js-rsons other than thow oci-upying sec-
tions in the town on tho north sitle are liome-
less, and many destituto.
The WinnijH-g .S'ini gives a grophic descrij)-
tion of tlieescait' "f Ceo. K. 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. He told Ajiplegarlh that the reserve v.i\»
rising, and some of the bucks who had l>een to
Battleford were afti-r him. Alniost while he
sjKike the di>or burst o|*en and ejght*'en nMi-
BKina nished in. 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. Applegarth
rouseil his wife and sister in law, a little girl
aluHit tv^elvo years old, and Indian teacher
Cunningham, and told them U* driss. He him- .,_..,.___„ „

*' Kn'in the barges, as I wriU', I hear the
sound of harniimy, and I det«'ct the vuicea of

men, sinjfing the song, 'When the Clouds Roll

and it visibly affects w.me of tht men, many of
whose facch are Bhadefi by lines of thought and
tare. 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. In another phu-e
men an- rea.liiip, while under one -if the inipn*.

ami share with thecrtfwthecomfortsof a stat<'-
room larire enough to accomnuMlate al»out fialf
the number which is now crowded Iwtween its
thinly (ianelh'<i sides. The assistant-surgiMiris

then the stittf and field uliicers, while the c<un-

oriierlies manage, hy means unkm»wn to nn, to
Bcraiw up some pieces of pudding or ' stick-

sey, of Ottawa, shot some duck, and there was
rejoicing at his niesn lM>fird, to which the statT
of the .Midland Battalion were aUoweil to ap-

" At such a time, and s\icli a plnce, it may
Ih« sup|>o)ietl that neither oHicei-s nor men an^

|M»mp and cin.' tstance of war on lK<ani the
Xort/ifofc as e gi» iloWTi the South Sas-

l»een discarded, and the men's Ih'Us are soiled
and dirty. Their uniforms are stained with

stops two or thn>e times a day to wihhI np.
Their iHsits an- In own ami uniNilished, and
their accoutrements l)rar tlie ftaius of lalmur

"The sU'amer we are travelling on is nothing
but a scow on v\liich a winKlen hous^ has Iw-en

are called in tlii-se parts. 'I liey are hanly little

not Hei t, bnt they have gn-at staying isiwers,
and they never scumble over the gi»pher or
biwlger holes with which the prairies are honey-
comlx-d. 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, aii<l I Ki ow son.ething

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. The company oHicers g<' down too.
ami the click of rifles is heani as the inr-n ex-

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

instruments of torture, and saws and knives
and Itottles with ^tr.mge laliles are phu^etl on
the tables of the saloon. Othcers' baggage hna
lie»Mi piled in one part of the cabin, where the
hospital is to )k>, if reipiired.
"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. Van StranUuizie is still looking
at them thnoigh his tield-glass, while around
the steamer and down in the barj^es, ollicers and
men are standing ready for emergencies. Then
1 iiotio' Col. Van StraulK'ii/.ie suddenly drop
his gliiss, and I hear ' Ji say ' scouts, when
we laugh, for we kno. hat the hor»emen who
are approaching are fiiciuls and not enemies.
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 ha<i overtaken the
st^'anier, when we were not much more than
half-wav to our deHtinati<m. On lie came with
his double poildle moving like a wind-mill, and
wo all gathered on one side of the barge to give
him a welcome, He ap|)eared to l>e 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. He, too, is an old cam- |
paigner, having l>een twenty years in the army, i
ami the decoration he won, tho Victoiia Cross, |
was given as it always is, 'for valour' in the |
field. The next time the X»rthc>>ie sticks he
will take to his canoe a^^'ain, nin past ttie
Moose woikIh at night, and make Clark's
Cnxtsing. and from there tell tieneral Middle-
ton how badly it has fared with us t-inct' we left

TORONTO, JUNE 15711, 1885.
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.

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
We will pay one hundred dollars to any party or parties who will
furnish sufficient evidence that will lead to the conviction of the guilty
party or parties who take the bands off our 5c. Cable 5c., and sell them
(the " Cable " cigars) in other boxes, for a ten cent cigar, and who also
put our bands on cheap, trashy cigars, palming them off as the genuine
" Cable."
We will pay the other hundred dollars for sufficient evidence thst
will lead to the conviction of the party or parties who take the bands off
our celebrated " El Padre " cigar, and place them (the El Padre cigar) in
imported cigar boses, and sell them tor a (16c.) fifteen ^«nt imported
cigar, and replace our band on a cheap and inferior domestic cigar, or a
musty, dry imported, and sell them for the genuine.
We do not object to the consumers paying (10c.) ten cents for oar
(6c) "Cable" cigars, and (15c.) fifteen cents for our "El Padre" (10c.)
cigars ; as they are well worth that money, especially when in imported
Havana boxes, but we most decidedly protest against foreigners obtaining
the credit for making a fine class of cigars when it belongs to us.
Don't be prejudiced, domestic cigars (that are not artificially flavored)
will not poison you. Many smokers have enjoyed a fragrant (domestic)
Havana while imagining they were smoking an imported.
The celebrated "Cable," "El Padre" and "Modem" brands of
cigars are the most reliable in the market. Try them.
