debate in the Reichstag, Prince Bismarck raid that the Liberals, by their negative attitude, Lad destroyed his hope of effecting an understanding with them.He had reeolvtd to support Frankenstein's motion, because he could not follow the course proposed by the other parties in the Reichstag, as that course was hut little removed from social democracy.He said he bad felt him-elf abandoned more and more by the National Liberals, but he had not broken with any party, as his constant endeavor was to maintain German unity.Hscinsidered that the hnancial pressure ha i been greatly alleviated, and he believed that the present financial work would produce great blessings.Bismarck concluded by saying he would pursue his work to the end, whether he reaped hatred or love.Wiudthont said that the Centre party bad neither asked nor obtained concessions.Their co-operation with the Conservatives de pended on the conclusion of the Kulturkaumf.but they h q«d with the Conservatives to effect a revision of the May laws.A Berlin despatch announces that the Reich, stag pawed the motion that 130,\u2018MK) 000 marks from the annual proceeds of the tariff shall be handed over to the Empire, and the rest distributed among the States.The Reichstag also resolved that the duty on tobacco shall not be retrospective, and that material* for ship building excepting metals ahall lie fr»e.L« Tempt announces that President Grevy will shortly pardon 1, ftW (silitical ofT-udeni.The fire at Urktisk, Sioeria, is atill burning.The Czar hss sent twenty thouvand ronbles to the relief of the sufferers.The French Cabinet have refused the request of Marshal MacMahon to be allowed to attend the funeral of the Prince Imtierial.A dbastrou* fire occurred in Tirnova on Thtrsday, deatro>iug upwards of forty houses.A number of soldiers, who were trying to stay the dimes, were burned to death.It is believed that the British edition, for the intentions of Hu Majesty's Government were that we ihould survey a great part of the Zaire.Now this river was already surveyed, and we had nothing further to do there.We tnriied our attention southwards, because we wire to survey the hydrographic basins of the Cor go and Zambesi and their relations.'i he pri.bltm was too vast to lie intrusted to one Mile expedition.My companions and myself then thought of separating.The country and ourselves would be gainers bv this, liecause three explorers, or more, as has been proved by re psated examples, have greater sco|>e for com verting, for diccueaing events that have occurred dining the day, and on account of such converaa-ti' ns and discuesious write little for the benefit of the public.All expeditions that have been composed of a great number of explorers have lieen ]>oor in results.It is always advantageous to diminish the number of explorers in unknown countries, because as one man alone has nobody to whom he can communicate the whole of his thoughts, bis daily impressions are transmitted to writing.This was the chief cause that made me form the resolution of eeparating from my companions, who departed in company.In Portugal some one imagined that differences hail ariren between me and my companions.Perhaps there was some truth in it.When three men join company in Africa, under such an atmospheric pressure as exists there ; when for meat tmybave Indian corn or canary seed, and for drink water from the marshes, nobody can bs Mirprired that a little alteration should take place in their characters.I believe that after a certain time, and after having said to each other what we had to say, we mutually hated each other, although when a wall separated us we were at heart most intimate friends.Ivens had from the very beginning devoted his attention to the instrument abbas.Capello, besides other branches to which he devoted his attention, had applied himself to the study of terrestrial magnetism, a study completely new in Southern Africa.When eeparation was resolved on Ivens at once exclaimed, \" The abbas ia mine.\u201d Capello also chimed in, \u201c The terrestrial magnetism instruments belong to me.\u201d There wus no opposition on my part, because I could not place myself on a par with my coin-panions in the management of those instruments ; the consequence waa that a collection of sextants fell to my lut.I hail a sextant that gave me ir>0 degrees, but this sextant on the artificial horizon, which as is well known counts the angle twice, did not give me more than 7û degrees.New, in order to bo able to take at any point a latitude with my sextant, which did give me more than 75 degrees, it would be necessary to be 15 degrees, and not more, distant from the sun.I therefore resolved on following a course that would remove me from th r tropical region and permit me to take latitudes by the sun at midday, an hour when I was not fatigued.communicated this to ray companions, and it was agreed that I should proceed to the east, because in that latitude I could still use my instruments.They, a* they had instruments with which they could take latitudes even at the equator, resolved on starting northwards.On separating it was very natural that I should receive a third part of the resources.In fact, this division took place.My companions who, through ill health, had combined to render each other mutual assistance, grew strong afterwards, while I fell ill at Behi5, which obliged me to stop there a long time.Besides these eeven blacks that remained with me 1 then bad nine more from Benguella.I was obliged to provide food for all.I wai accustomed to buy an ox when I w mted a beef-etenk ami wished to give food to my people The result was, as is evident, great expense ; aid in the three months my malady, a rheumatic fever, lasted, my resources were almoit exhaust ed.At last I resolved on departing with the lit tie I had.I was seriously ill on the occasion and full of thoughts of home.One of my black* seeing that I was delirious, bled me freely My expedition was consequently organized when I was in an extreme state of weakness ar.d prostration.In the month of May, being aided by the blacks I had brought from Ben-lU'-lls, f began to organlz- a new expedition.One of the greatest difficulties experienced by African explorers at the present day results from travellers making use of the Portuguese flag who have no right or claim to the name of Portuguese.The celebrated Joeo Alves, of whom Cameron speaks, was lw>m to the east of Cas-sange, and bad not a drop of white blood in his veins.Stanley had to fight his way during a great portion of his expedition.A number of the trifles I met with hail no idea whatever of religion.All, however, recognize and resoect one great Dower in the universe, viz., the King of Portugal.I was always well received whenever I m> ntioned the King's name.When my funds ran short 1 refrained from mentioning the King of Portugal's name for shame's sake.I do not consider that African exploration is attended by any insurmountable difficulty.I am convinced that any Portuguese could do what I have done.On my departure from Behé I called one Inf the blacks and said to him, \" Do you see those instrum*nt* that make a noise, that move?(the chronometers).Well, you must never let them stop.Bring them to me every day, so that I may keep them always going.The day that you forget to bring them to me you shall lie roasted alive on a spit.\u201d Poor Uatraio thought I was serious, and, as if he himself were a chronometer, punctually wound up ths chronometers from that day forward.On one occasion, suffering from delirium, burning with fever, after a hard combat and a few minutes before having to confront a serious danger, I saw to the chronometers, carefully comparing them.We were soon afterwards attacked by surprise by a numerous band of savages ; my baggage was captured and likewise my chronometers, which the era my carried with them in triumph across a broad stream.While I was lamenting the next day over the misfortunes of the eve.Uatraio, to my profound astonishment, suddenly appeared, bis countenance all radiant, and holding up a chronometer in triumph.On being questioned, lie confessed that he had swam across the stream, traced ths whereabouts of onr enemies and the i|s>t where they had deposited their plunder.Watching his opportunity he secured his friend, the chronometer, to whom he ia doubtless still .grateful for having saved him from the inglorious late of ending his young days by being subjected to the culinary process above mentioned.I-et ns now proceed on onr journey from Ben- Suella to Durban.Benguella is situated in 12 eg.30 min.south latitude, and U a city of whieh all speak badly, bnt which, after all, ia not \u2022o bad as represented, for persona who have been attacked with fever in Moaaamedes go to Ben-guella to be cured.I do not mean to esy by this that Bengnella ia a parodias, but it should be borne in mind that many places in Africa that bear a terrible name in Kuroi>e are not so bad as they are painted.Benguella cannot be ennsid- an army of hupst proportions without drance ; and whence offensive mlliu, i.a i.-v .a* .A.1-\t% city of good water in the town itself, excellent water is obtainable in the wood of Cavaco close\t__________________ by.It is, however, true that the blacks who go tiops could be effectively waged at «hou in «eaj.li of the precious liquid are sometimes I With such object in view, it is easily devoured by wild beasts.The expedition left ; stood why Bsroguella by a mail entirely different from that followed by Cameron.In my opinion the most ami ac-urate observations taken in South hi« V Opera 0l\u201clly Ululer- __, \u2014\t- .| the I uet* in eealNiard errd as a bad?region, for though there U a scar- | wbertl y, in case of war, England could land pr* Africa am due to Cauiurou.Cameron was fully awar< that explorers shoull have in view something in* s> elevated than meeting with adventures which may be interesting as narratives Cameron therefore always strove during his travels to be iu a position to observe with exactness.The observations taktu at Quillengues and Cscomla convinced us that there were errors of more than thirty miles in the maps that have beeu published.The third day of our journey was the second that we passed without water.In the night the ce Grande that furnished supplies to th& whole province during the three years\u2019 drought.Wo then came iu sight of calcareous soil, with a few hawthorns, and afterwards of Quillengues.Chi onda is a fortress in a ixadtion ably chosen by the ancient Portuguese.It is everywhere sur-i(undid by riverr\u2014permanent rivers\u2014a very ' aie i.iicumatance in Africa Many of the rivers > f A frica are eddying str< ams at certain periods, I» t at other tiiiii-H they disap^>ear.Csconda, while holding an iiiqx rtant position, has no com-n «niai inq/ortance at the present day.It is, like all the Portuguese settlements in the in-»*ri'r of Africa, ilia state of decadence.We In* net with our worthy compatriot An-«hietta in the woods, but who, notwithstanding, made his appearance wearing a white necktie and a dress coat, and offered us tea in cufis of porcelain of Sevres.On onr arrival Anchietta was hard at work with two microscopes, examining through one cryptogamie plants, and with the other making observations In connection with comparative anatomy.When Anchietta is not engaged in taking notes of the numerous collections of birds, insects and reptiles that he has sent to the Lisbon Museum, he may be found at home in his well-stocked library, occupied with his studies.The difficulty of obtaining carriers still continued at Caconna.The Chief of the District, who arrived two days after the expedition, had not the least influence over the people in this matter.I applied to the minor iHitentates of the vicinity and they promised to aid me.I principally devoted my time to the procuring of carriers, while my companions turned their attention to scientitic investigations, I waa the commander of the blacks.Now, in those regions seven Sobas, or chiefs, were at that time at war.Armed men were continually passing in all directions, and the consequence was that many carriers took to (light.My companions, Capello and Ivens, went northwards L) look for carriers, while I went straight toBth*'.A highway robber lived close by.At one time he attack** ! Quillimane, ami when at war with the Portuguese cveu reached Mossa-mede.He, however, gave me a very kind reception and furniahed me with carriers.When he faw me taking the latitude of his house he asked me if it were not true that the nun passed over him before it passed over the regions to the west from which I came.I explained to him briefly the baHea of my observation, while the negro, all Attention, seemed, by an expression of intelligence, to comprehend my exposition.Before 1 reached Belle the journey began to be particularly arduous.My resources began to fail, and on one occasion I fell into a river, in the very middle, and had a long swim for life.Contrary to my expectation, and contrary to all the maps that nave been published, it was on this journey that I discovered the source of the River Cubango, to the west of Behermitted to Introduce him to you and to Lord Chelmsford, in the Lope, and with my personal request to you, that you will give him every help in your power to enable him to see what he can.I have written to Chelmsford to the *ame effect.He is a premisirg young man, full of spirit, emrgy, speaking English admirably; and the more you see of him the more you will like him.He has many young friends in the artillery, aud so I doubt not, with your and Chelmsford's kind assistance, he will get on well enough.\" I remain, my dear Sir Bartle, \" Yours moat sincerely, \u2022\u2018Ueobob.\" DOMINION NEWS.^ ONTARIO.A Somewhat Firm Holder.\u2014Eight vears clip of wool is held by a Brooke farmer.If* refined 64 eents for it in 1872.He keep* good sheep, and sheared 6»i this season.He at .me time would *ell for 60 cents ;

ns soon as the upper box wa* tilled with comb it gave (.if a swarm which wa* hived, butin a few minutes returned from their new abode to the under box of the old hive, which was empty.And there are now, working in the same box, two separate swarms, with nothing between them rave a few laths from which those iu the under box must hang their comb.Wool TILES ON THE HIGHWAYS.\u2014The Township of Clarke has been mulcted in $JOO and co*ts for damages suffered by a traveller on the highway.Asia vet y generally the cas», alarmer drawing out wood left a pile on the roadside.Hi im* time in February last, at which time th« wood at night had been left there some three or four weeks, Ham.Max well, when riding past this wood on horseback, his horse shied suddenly at it, and acted in such a manner that Maxwell was thrown off the horse, dislocating his shoulder, injuring his collar-bone and susiaining other injuries, so as to make it necessary to place himself under medical trratment, and repuered him unfit to do any work for several week*.The Council considered it was not liable, and Maxwell sued for damage* and recovered the above amount.As hundreds of such piles are left on the roadside during winter and spring, municipal councils should mako a note of their liability for any damages that may arise from them.MANITOBA.Journalism in Manitoba.\u2014Then* are eight newspajien*, seven English and one French, two lailies and eix weeklies, published in Manitoba, as follows Daily Free 1\u2018rcss, Reform, Winnipeg ;

Holland stated that he would be in favor of doing away with the Health Department entirely, and placing its affairs under the control of the Police Committee.Aid.Jeannottk said he would support such a measure.Aid.Allard thought it strange that while every one apjxared to be against the Health De-partaient, they all voted in favor of its appropriation.He lielieved at one time that its duties could be left with the Police Committee, hut now he believed it was in the city\u2019s interests to work them separately.He referred to the resolution of the last meeting to publish Dr.liinipton'a rejHirt on drainage.Aid.Holland said bo was opposed to »uch an unnecessary expense, and besides that report was very damaging to the city.A report cn vaccination made by Dr.Hingston, while Mayor, wa* puhlbhed in French and English, costing the city some 9500 or 9600.and to day large numbers were piled up as waste paper in the Health Office.A report had been drawn np by resolved to report to Council in favor of paying him $200.From George McGrath for the cost of a drain built by him.The City Attorney\u2019s opinion was that the city was not liable, so the claim was dismissed.From James Nelson for damage to his property on Mark street.It was not entertained, the City Attorney stating that it was already proscribed by law.The City Hurveyor was instructed to pay 93d to Madame Desautel, who asked compensation for damage caused by a fall on Craig street.Dr.Dagenais claimed payment for a strip of land taken by the city on St.Catherine street east.It was decided to report to Council in favor of offering him 8100.Mr.Brouillette\u2019s claim for damage to property, owing to change of grade in Heaton street, was then considered, and it was resolved to report to Council to offer him $100.The petition of Parent Bros, for exemption from taxes on property on Maple Avenue was not entertained.After a short discussion it was resolved to U'.nke the following improvements : To build a 2 x 3 brick drain on Redpath, from Sherbrooke street up.To authorize the City Surveyor to give chain stone to parties applying, on condition that they hear the cost of laying and cartage.To take the appropriations : Repairs to roads, $7,450 : do.sewers, $2,000; street cleaning and watering, $1,000 ; street names and numbers, $100, and apply them as follows : Removing snow, $2.»'>00 ; river roads, $100 ; stone crossings, $1,850 ; repairs to sidewalks, $fi 000 ; total $10 550.To compel proprietors to apply to Council for grades of streets before building.To accept the offer of the proprietor of Essex Avenue to cede the same to the city, on conditions that a perfect title deed be given, and that the city shall not he bound to grade or make any improvements until it is seen fit.A request wo* received from Mr.Mullin asking that the sidewalk in front of his property be set back.It was resolved to comply, provided herations.The origin of the fire is unknown.OTTAWA STREET METHODIST CHURCH.Lost evening an exceedingly happy and Interesting meeting was held by the members and congregation of the above church, for the purpose of hiddine farewell to their retiring pastor, the Rev.M.L.Pearson, and welcoming their new one, the Rev, J.W.Sparling, M.A., B.D, The gathering began at about 0 30.Tne carrying cut of the main obiect of the meeting was preceded by tea in the basement of the church, which seemed to pat everyone in the best possible humor.The chair was taken by Mr.George Bishop shortly before nine o\u2019clock, and when the question was put whether the meeting should lie held above in the body of the church, or below where they were, though some wished to \u201cgo up higher, \u2019 it was decided to remain below however.On the platform were Mr.George Bishop, chairman, the Rev.Measr».Pearson, Sparling, Hardie, Francia, Ac., and several other gentlemen pr-minent in the church or representing other Methodist charthes in the city.After prayer by the Rev.Mr.Hardie, Stan-stead, preceded and followed by music by tho choir, the Chairman made a few remarks on tho changes the three years since they bad met in a similar meeting had brought nbout.of friends they had lost or gained, and called on Mi»s Cutteu, who came forward, and read an affecting address to tbs Key, Mr, Pearson from the Sab» * TmmsDAY.July 10, 1879.TJÏK MONTREAL DAILY \u2018 WITNESS.bath Mcbool of th« Chr.roh.expi^'miva of the xreat IjenetiU they hail received from bU leader* «hip, of their eeuee of loee at jiartiut;, and pray* iaa for hie future welfare.Mia* Uutteu w.u followetl by Mr.McK«f all inanufacturera \" The same testimony is iKTueby A\u2019l/sson, htltony, Afbani, Patt^Slrauu and all the great musicians of the present day.'
