provided for, and the Government were bound to raise the revenue for that object in some way.Ibis statement will probably be found to be the key of the whole National Policy, which will consist of an

DUTY.DENIAL.Berlin, Feb.12.\u2014The Reichstag, today, was opened by the Emperor.Ho thanked the members for assisting in the suppression of the Socialist agitation, and he hoped they would continue to support the Government as far as it was necessary for the cure of the Socialist evil.He announced the abolitionjof 'Article 5 of the Treaty of Prague, and referred with pleasure to the friendly relations with Austria and the results of the Berlin Congress.He declared that the relations between Germany and all other powers were satisfactory, and that she would continue to use her influence in behalf of peace.The Emperor, in the course of his speech, declared that the encouragement and development of friendly relations with and among the Powers was a task to which we should devote great power, acquired by the German union.Referring to the Customs policy of the the Government, the Emperor said our commerce has a right to claim the protection which legislation regarding Customs taxes can afford, and which is afforded perhaps beyond what is necessary in countries with which we trade.My duty is to perserve the German market for articles of home production, and we should reverb to the well-tried principles which we, in our commercial policy since 1865, have abandoned.Clause 50 of the Treaty of Prague was, he said, abrogated to put an end to the uc certainty of the people of North Schleswig respecting their future destiny.The Emperor\u2019s speech at the opening the Reichstag referred to the plague in Russia.He said latest reports justify the hope that the energetic measures of the Russian Government will shortly suppress the epidemic.London, Feb.12.\u2014A Berlin despatch states the German Tariff Commission recommends that raw cotton be exempt ed from duty, but that duty on hops be raised to ten marks per hundred weight.A Berlin correspondent denies the truth of the statement that Austria, as the price of the recent treaty concerning North Schleswig, asked Germany to support the scheme for the annexation of Salonica.Among the measures enumerated in the Emperor\u2019s speech at the opening of the Reichstag to-day is the Parliamentary Discipline Bill.KUSSI-A.DISAPPEARANCE OF THE PLAGUE IN ASTRACHAN.SEEKING A QUARREL WITH ROUMANIA.St.Petersburg, Feb.12.\u2014The principal members of the Bourse at Astrachan telegraph that, according to official

Rouma-nia\u2019s neglect to give notice to Russia of her precautions against the plague.The locking of railway carriages containing Russian officers is considered specially unfriendly and

of 25 miles, gave an exhibition of her walking powers in Perry\u2019s Hall, Craig street.The track in the hall was a poor one and must have greatly added to the inconvenience of the pedestrienne.Tan bark would have made a better bed to walk on than sawdust, and another great drawback was the laps (32 to the mile) were too short and too greatly curved.Miss Warren at 6.25 p.m.stepped from her dressing room on to the track and began her task of walking 25 miles in less than five hours 20 minutes, the best time on recyrd.She looked cheerful and was dressed in a neat bloomer costume of lavender silk, trimmed with pink.On her feet were good, strong boots, high up the ankle.She was, in our opinion, too rightly dressed for the task tliat was before her.A greater pla of the lungs would, we are sure, have been less fatiguing.She started along the track at a good pace, and completed her first five miles in Ih.5m.Her ninth mile she walked in thirteen minutes.At this time there was only a few persons present, and very little applause to encourage the young girl in her work.However, she pluckily held on at a five mile pace, and walked in a fair heel and toe manner.The Hall now began to fill with spectators, and this, with a few cheering words of enaouragement, put new life into her, and she sped round the track in lively fashion : Her 14th mile\t\t\ttook\t\t\t11.10 (4\t20th\tif\tif\t\t12.02 «\t21st\tft\ta\t\t12.30 it\t22nd\tit\ta\t\t11.03 tc\t23rd\tit\ta\t\t13.00 t(\t24th\tif\ta\t\t12.05 if\t25th\t({\ta\t\t12.10 She completed her walk in 5h.35m., just fifteen minutes behind the best time on record.She was loudly cheered as she tramped out her last mile.She walked the last half of the journey in three-quarters of an hour less than the first part.She will attempt the feat on Saturday evening next, and if the track is put in better condition, there is every probability of her succeeding.London, Feb.12.\u2014Weston, who started from London on the 8th, to walk 2,000 miles, is about 170 miles behind time ; good health and spirits.Tho weather has' been very uncomfortable.Later\u2014Weston reached Scarborough this afternoon and was then 151 miles behind time.CURLING.Quebec, Feb.12.\u2014The annual curling match between smokers and non-smokers, of this city, four rinks a side, was brought to a close yesterday, the smokers winning by 32 shots.Paris, Feb.12.\u2014The curling match played here to-day between the Paris and Mechanics Clubjof Hamilton resulted in a victory for Paris; by 14 shots.Toronto, Feb.12.\u2014The International curling contest, for the Gordon medal, commenced to-day, 12 rinks taking part, uamely, 11 from the United States, and one Canadian.The Four Brothers Club, the holders of the medal, could only muster three men, and had to retire from the contest.The match took place on the Toronto Curling Club Rink.- The first draw was played in the morning in the covered rink, and the second draw was played in the afternoon in the outside rink.Great interest was taken in the competition, and great excitement among a large number of curlers.The first draw resulted as follows:\u2014No.1 rink, Caledonian Club, New York City, 12,

noon, the heavy wind greatly increased with the rising of the tide, and the scene in the harbour was grand in the extreme.The waves, dashing wildly about, broke over the end of the North Wharf, and quite a little excitement was created among the bystanders on the wharves.At Reed\u2019s Point, the scene was terrific, and rude in its grandeur at 3 o\u2019clock, the hour at which the ride was at its highest point.The rough sea flowed over the wharf a distance of over 100 feet.About noon the rain ceased, and the fog cleared off.About o\u2019clock, three or four hundred feet of the Dufferin

street.'he firemen were promptly on hand, and found the store filled with flame and dense smoke, which was just forcing its way through the windows.Copious streams soon put all danger at an end.The cause of the fire is unknown.The previous day one of the counters of the stcre was varnished, but it is presumed that the fire originated amongst the coal and wood in the basement.The loss to stock is estimated at $6,000, insured in the Scottish Imperial and Northern offices for $3,000.Mr.A.Boisseau, the Superintendent and Secretary of the Institut Canadien, who resides on the ground floor of the adjoining building, providentially awoke just as his premises were filling with smoke.He escaped with Mrs.Boisseau by the rear.The Institute, which extends over the burnt store, is insured in the Mutual for $8,000 on the building, and in the Royal Canadian for $7,000 on the building, and $5,000 on the books and furniture.Point du Chene, Feb.12.\u2014A fire broke out here this morniug, about

Robert Geary, 5th Concession of London Township, was totally burned this morning, at 4 o\u2019clock, and one of the young men in his employ, named Everett, who slept over the kitchen, where the fire broke out, perished in the flames.His body was found afterwards burned to a crisp, merely the trunk remaining, in a manner showing that he had died crouching in the corner of the room, after having vainly attempted to escape.The whole family had a narrow escape from a similar fate.Miss Geary was awakened by the suffocating smoke, and called her brother, who found the rear of the house all on fire.Here he found Charles Cooper and another servant man, who slept in the same part of the house as Everett, who says he called to him in vain.A high wind was blowing, and tbs whole house was soon reduced to ashes, only some trifling arricles being saved.The loss will be nearly $3,000 ; insurance, $1,200 in the Agricultural Mutual of London.legalize the conveyance thereof to the Ottawa and

therein mentioned.The debate on Mr.Meredith\u2019s amendment to the motion to go into Committee of Supply was resumed by Mr.Ross, who charged the Opposition with not making fair deductions for exceptional expenditures.Hon.Mr.Morris argued that the Government could not claim exemption from the responsibility for carrying out the Sandfield Macdonald policy, nor could they throw the responsibility of the expenditures upon the Opposition.He claimed for the Conservative party the larger share of the credit for bringing about Confederation.Mr.Meredith repelled the charge that the figures offered by the Opposition were falsified.I iMr.Lauder noticed a change of tone on the other side of the H#use.Formerly they objected to details, now they complained that the statements of the Opposition were too general.Hon.Mr.Fraser said the item for carpets had not been objected to from the time when it came up in the Public Accounts Committee until to-night.Mr.Cameron had virtually admitted there was not a dollar of uncalled for expenditure.Mr.Lauder denied that Mr.Cameron had expressed approval of the outlay of $1,043 for carpets for the Warden\u2019s rooms in the Central Prison, The amendment was put and lost; yeas, 31 ; nays, 45.The House went into Commitlee, rose and reported.The House adjourned at ! 1:45.THTTPSPAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1879.Pietton lilies.AMUSEMENTS.ONTARIO LECISLATURF.Toronto, Feb.12.The House met at 3 o\u2019clock.After routine, Mr.Creighton moved that, in the opinion of the House, the public accounts and departmental reports be printed as soon as possible after the expiration of the years to which they relate, and to have the same circulated immediately upon being printed, whether the House shall be in session at such time or not, and that it be an instruction to the Committee on Printing to consider and report on the best method of accomplishing this end.It was useless to pretend that this could not he done, for, up to the present Parliament, the public accounts of the preceding year were presented before the close of the session ; the fact that they had a statement of receipts and expenditures showed that the public accounts were, at that time, in sufficient readiness to allow of much earlier publication.It has been suggested to change the financial year, but, even if this were done, they had no guarantee that the time of the meeting of Parliament would not also be changed, so that they would be in the same position as now.Mr.Sinclair moved, in amendment, to the effect that the House express its satisfaction with the promise of the Government to bring down the public accounts at the first session after the year to which they relate.Hon.Mr.Wood referred to the mass of detail which had to be collected, arranged and audited ; the Government would make an effort to furnish the public accounts in tho following session.Mr.Wells expressed his satisfactioa with the promise of the Government.Jlr- Laurkr was pleased that there was a prospect of some improvement.Mr.Mrrrick thought it was quite possible to furnish a detailed statement of rt-ceipts and expenditure.Mr.Creighton said the Government had had ample time to attend to this matter.Mr.MeredithJmoved, in amendment, that, in the opinion of the House the public accounts, in detail, for 1878 should be printed and distributed previous to the ensuing general election.Mr.F raser characterized the last amendment as absurd.It was asking the House to set aside a well-known Constitutional practice.Mr.Creighton taunted the Government with bolstering up a custom, the utility of which they could not point out.He hoped they would repeat to the country what they said in the House.Mr.Deacon supported Mr.Meredith\u2019s amendment.Mr.Currie thought it was desirable the public aceounts, in detail, should be given to the people with as little delay as possible.He saw no difficulty in the way of distributing them before the elections.Hon.Mr.Mgwat said the abstract submitted to the House was more useful, so far as the public were concerned, than the accounts in detail would be.The country was in possession of all necessary information.The Government could not promise to have the public accounts for 187# prepared during what remained of the Session, it was impracticable.Hon.Mr.\u201cMorris congratulated the Government on having made some concessions in the matter during the year.Mr.Meredith\u2019s amendment was lest.Yea?,'33 ; nays, 45.Mr.Sinclair\u2019s amendment was declared carried.Mr.Bell moved foe a return relating to Collingwood, J.James Morris, R.Parkinson or Parkson, Wm.Welsh, ex-convicts in the Central Prison, alleged to have been employed by the authorities of the Prison after the expiration of their terms.Also, the names of other prisoners employed in connection with the Central Prison, how long, and in what capacity and emolument received.He thought it was of public importance to ascertain whether ex convicts were allowed to have the run of the building and have free access to and communication with those who are serving out their time; the frequent fires were probably owing to this practice.Hon.Mr.Wood said the matter had been greatly exaggerated.Mr.Deacon supported the motion.The motion was carried.Mr.Massie moved for copies of the reports from Mr.J.Korman, as Commissioner at the Paris Exposition of 1878.\u2014Carried.AFTER RECESS.The House went into Committee ®n the bill to extend the powers of the Hand-in-Hand Mutual Insurance Company, which was passed, also the Brockvillo Mutual Building Society Bill, alto the Bill respecting the Yorkville Loop-Line Railway Co., also the Bill to legalize certain By-Laws of the City of St.Catharines and to amend the

Strathroy.Respecting Billings\u2019 Bridge, and to ACADEMY OF MUSIC.\u201cMOTHER AND SON.\u201d As we thought, there was a good audience present at the above house last night to see the fine Company, now playing there, in the representation of Sardou\u2019s masterpiece, \u201c Mother and Son.\u201d There is no question of doubt that the more one sees the piece the better one becomes acquainted with the beauties, and the moral that may be drawn from it.As a play, it is, as we stated yesterday, stronger in interest and dramatic situation than Diplomacy.The third act is a most powerful one, and has been wrought up to the finest pitch ty the subtle genius of the author.The fine acting, in this act, of Miss Fanny Morant and Mr.Clarke, is a treat Montrealers seldom get, and one that is worth going a long way to see.The interview, also in this same act, between Mr.Clarke and Miss Ida Vernon, is of a very affecting character, and is most naturally rendered.The ladies and gentlemen of the company, we are glad to say, were in the best of trim last night.Mr.Clarke, (specially, doing every justice to his character.A good night\u2019s rest worked wonders, and now the play runs smoothly, every one of the performers evidently bent on doing their best to do justice to their several characters, and to please the audience.They succeeded most admirably in pleasing every one last night, and the repeated calls before the curtain of Miss Fanny Morant, Miss Ida Vernon, and Mr.Clarke showed that the audience highly appreciated their efforts.We advise all our readers, who can possibly do so, not to miss seeing this company in \" Mother and Son\u201d ; their engagement here is short, and it may be a long time betore sueft another opportunity offerr.We were nearly forgetting to add that Miss Clark and the other members of the company gave very strong and faithful support to the leading characters.THEATRE ROYAL.On Friday and Saturday evenings next that fine old favourite play \u201c Uncle Tom\u2019» Cabin\u201d will te given at the above house by the Lottie Company.The company is composed of fine artists, the chief among them being Lottie, whose wonderful creation of the character of Topsy is unrivalled.This is her last appearance in America for some time.A matinee will be given on Saturday for ladies and children.OUX FACES.The human face is not only \u201c the index of the soul.\u201d Every bodily sensation leaves its indellible impress upon the features.Every human face, if studied attentively, reveals the physical and mental history of its possessor.On the crowded street of the city, what volumes of these histories are open to all who would search them !
