■ THS people of the north. ■ ;fe Among the Inhabitants ot the Hudson’s Bay Country. 9 An Ottawa correspondent writes to the Pittsburg Post as follows: Those who have Bcver seen life as it exists among the in- Kabitauts of the Hudson's Bay country ■rould be astonished at the extent of civili- among a class of people general' v sup- Bosefi to be savages, as well as at the Hwt'ul grandeur of the scenery and H>rbidding aspect of the graveyard Boasts along the shores of that northern Bea. In all the uninhabitable region ■(North America there is nowhere to Be "found a more bleak, desolate or Hrcary waste than that between Ungava ■av, off the coast of Labrador on the east, ■VI Fort Churchill on the west and southern Bart of Hudson Bay proper. Although Ktle is known yet regarding this weird and B-ozen region, it has had a growth within Bhe last half century which has been some- King phenomenal, and having been meas- Bred according to its needs by the God of ■ature, has gone on advancing from age to Bge, until at the present time not alone the Biost fertile islands, but the extent of land Back from the coast on either side is thickly Bopulated by a people who hunt and fish ■rjj breed and talk and chatter even among Hie misery and destitution which life in a Hep-ion ®f perpetual frost and snow must ■ring. If Hudson Bay itself is really an inland sea, ■xtending between latitude 51* and 64° Borth, and longitude 77° and 95° west, and Bridle about 1,000 miles long at its greatest ■istance, is only about 600 miles in breadth, Hovering an area of over 500,000 square Bales. It is navigable only for about three Hionths in the year—from the middle of Hune to the middle of September—and for Hie remainder of the year is filled with drift Bee, -which renders navigation, even for B snort distance, an absolute impossibility. Bhe eastern coasts of the bay are sights Bo I* admired, cliffs rising in many cases to ■height of 200 to 400 feet abruptly from Bhe w ater’s edge, and being composed of a ■lacier-like substance which, being ever Boated with ice and frozen snow, shine in Bhe sunlight until it is almost impossible to Book at them for any length of time. The Bj®id ( 'nts of this section are not properly Hsquimaux, but a cross between this race Bi'd the French and the Indians, who have ■ome in for the purpose of hunting and Hshing, and finally settled down among the Katives to live as they do and share with ■hem in the privations which no other life ■fiords. m On an average, in the summer months, the Bhermometer stands at about 45° above, ■-hilt' the temperature in the winter runs as foiv as 60° below zero, and will average about ■>* belowc Fish are scarce, and can be ■aught only in the rivers, of w'hieh on the Bast there is only the Great Whale, while on ■he west there is the Hayes, Nelson, ■’hurchill, Moore, Albany, Weeknisk, Main Hnd Abbitibbe Seal abound in plenty, but Kr<> extremely shy and hard for the natives ■< get at, while porpoise and walrus are Bq’ioUy difficult to get hold of. Were it not ■r the small fur-bearing animals w hich are ■ibout the shores the poor half- would stand a very Hood chance of perishing by hunger. Ks they can expect nothing in the way Kf favors from the Hudson Bay Company's ■tores, a few of which are along the coast. ■ natives live in little villages eomi>osed ■f from 50 to 100 rude huts. Each commu nity has its place of worship ami its church Bnal ground, which is consecrated by the missionaries, a few of whom are ■o be found wandering from village to vil ■v from the eastern extent of the settle ■lents down as far as Fort Churchill on the ■frest. These faithful, beloved men expect Bio recompense ft ir their services, and if they ■id they wouldn’t get it, for there is not in ■li the country such a thing as money, the Honly exchange being in fish, oil, or furs. ■ Whenever one of the tribe dies the rest of ■his family—meaning by that the entire ■settlement—stop work for the day and pre ■pare to bury him. If the settlement possesses ■such a thing as a dinner bell, and most of ■them do, the oldest man in the Tillage goes ■about from hut to hut and rings the bell in ■front of each until the occupants come out, ■both big and little, and falling into line, I march after him. When the circuit has ■ been made, and big and little are all col lated, a march is made for the Kirote, as it ■ iecalled, the village church, which consists of ■ about an acre of ground simply inclosed bva ■ wall of stonas near the middle of the cotn ■ munity. Into this little field go the entire ■ populace, and after chanting the virtues of I the dead for some hours, the corpse is taken ■ iway on a skin rock and covered with ice ■ rnd snow in the common burial ground. I The rest of the day is spent in rejoicing, and I the next day, if the deceased was married. I his better half makes another choice, and at I the end oi a week if an agreement be come I to. the dead is forgotten and the no longer I sorrowing ones begin life over again. A Vain Young 1 Man. A. Galaige in London Society. Something very different I linppened to witness at the table d'hote of the ‘'Europa,” hit flue hotel under the porticoes facing the Royal Palace, across the main square (Plaza Castello) in Turin. The Prussian First Secretary of Legation, ' on Riegel, was on that night entertaining a tarty of young friends from Berlin, travel ing for pleasure and only stopping for two lavs in town on their way to Rome. It was, I forget for what reason, a gala tinner at the hotel. The splendid salle a jnanger was lighted up a giomo. The land lord was present, with all his waiter's in their Undertakers’ liveries of black coats and white ties; the Germans and Swiss among them being told off to the upper end of the table in attendance upon Yon Riegel and his Pients, only one of whom had not yet come to muster. This late arrival was Von Eisenried, a tTuswan pur sang, a Yunker of high rank and higher pretensions, with all the gifts and acquirements that go to enhanco the advantages of birth, except a proper knowl- Wge of the world and its ways. There was anil, as he came up, a little stir and bustle unavoidable in the sitting down of a large and motley company, and the young Baron, "’horn Von Riegel was beckoning from an place, was threading his way to him when somebody laid a hand on his sleeve, out rather tartly in German: , B \‘.! ’ * sa y> can’t you tell me where lam to sit?” The Yunker drew back, dumbstruck for a moment, but soon recovered from his amaze f iV • , rose h* B foil height and tossed eack his head, saying very stiffly: -lehmen Hie nnch fur einen kellner?” '“? you take me for a waiter?) Ach neiul” (Oh, no!) stammered the ii'anger just glancing at him and perceiv h“Lv°Ty natural, not very unfrequent, not the less unpurdonably awkward mstake. And by way of a soothing apology the offense, ho blurted out. , *ur einen kellner, mein Herr—nnr }“! uen Oboi keltner” (Not for a waiter, but for the head-waiter). it ’ l this the poor blunderer whisked him off among the crowd of guests and was °"t of sight. The wrathful Prussian vvto- him, but at that moment m Kiegel came up with coaxing words, patned him away almost bodily, promis- I h to stand by him it, after the feast, he wet WTlan 1 r a Utlg oa that nido stranger for an Pr .Jj' d ' n n , ‘ r was a sumptuous but hardly a in "rtohlc offair. Von Eisenried fidgeted nf Hl Khing deeply, muttering words and scowling at tho whole ol , t W afro* the table, unable to single W the* Offender, yet brooding over the sv2T;vTl*’ a H a K the right and left for and lmrdly listening to Von bj ( .,r !'.''' ho strove to pour oil on the trou v.)i„., , aWR T: a hard task amid the titter in temnsJi' 1 °ther friends and guests were Bdu *K e ' aud which he was j. at P>'cat pains not to join. Rie-,1 i' mer .' vn * OVPr nt last, and Von rext'of urrymg his leas e-taking from the Ei.nri*t P w npan 7’ w,t out ’ ftllowe<l by iM* T ' b v l a ls ' l eager, in quest of his on his ,e YimbM| ' looked into every face tlie ’ to the smoking-room, ■w reading -l oom, the robing-roow-aU in vain. The Prussians had sat at tbMlßil o' the tabic, a wav from the dqor The stranger they wanted either fore them, or was not to he ivodfi iaSL Von Riegel, with unwearied laSSSttM the baffled and still gloomy YofiSetoylff arm, and walked with him to üBSEplKis at the German Legation, w her* ha plied hun with punch and choice HaTOML~ajP put up with the poor man's i<PW|9hlß*i in defatigable in his argumMtfe MtfLMtnwu strances, urging that the have been merely a purblind no time even to look at hiiqSß9|HFas most likely an ill-bred fellow, a fSMMMbe. a raw student, an impudent hagHfßjL'Sbeggarly newspaper correspondent—anyfierv, some body below his contempt, whom no gentle man could dream of calling to account. All breath thrown away! Von Eisonried listened with deference 'and seemed for a moment won over; but the next he heaved his deep sigh and came back to the charge with that appeal w-hich he had so often addressed to all his friend’s guests at the table: ''Sehe ieh aus wie ein Obe kellner?” (Do I look like a head-waiter?)—a question of course, always met with the hackneyed com pliments lie was fishing for. At last poor Von Riegel’s patience was at an end; and as the night advanced he sug gested that it began to be time his friend should resign himself to the disappointment and understand that the affront, however, huge it might seem to him, “must needs be pocketed." With this he rose, took up a bougie, and showed the way down-stairs, and threw open the door of the Legation, tendering his hand with his good-by to his parting gue6t. Eisenried took his friend’s hand; but even as he pressed it. the stubborn sigh swelled his breast, and out once more came the old maudlin and now half-tipsy appeal: “Lieber Freund (dear friend), we are old camarades; we are both Germans, both fail men and true. lam sure you will not flat ter me, you will be frank with me, won’t you? Well, than, now tell me, I beg, Sehe ich aus wie ein Oberkellner?” (Do I look like a head waiter?) Poor Von Riegel could stand it no longer. That song had been dinned into his ears for the last six deadly hours. He now shook off his guest’s hand with a hasty “good-night," bundled him out of the door, shutting it after him with a bang, and hurried back to his rooms, giving free vent to his long smothered wrath by a bitter laugh, a roar ing laugh, peal on peal, with which the mar ble vault of the Legation staircase rang again, and all the time heartily ejaculating. “Der Esel!” (The ass!) Such is the way with most of us miserable mortals. Why should not a Swiss head waiter look like a German baron, or vice versa l Is a waiter a dog, an ape, a nigger, a Hottentot? Is it his fault if his master dresses him like a gentleman?—if democracy has done away with those good old times when “the tailor made the man?” Vanities of vanities! we respect clothes; we worship bodies; we fancy we can still, in all cases, trace a man’s descent from father to son, forsooth, after all the mixture of breeds, the freaks of fortune, and the in stincts of natural selection since Adam!
