but its concern is still more direct in the military preparations and military spirit which seem to have become once more very pronounced among Frenchmen, and must be loeked at in their relation to the augmented armaments of Germany.In a more peaceful, but still very important sphere, the fiscal policy of the country commands attention.The telegrams which appear from day to day professing to inform us on that subject are somewhat contradictory, and, even apart from the contradiction, not very lumis- ous.We believe, however, it is possible to state the trath in few words} The leaders of what we may call the Ministerial or Republican party are in principle Free-traders.But they do not pru- pose any, violent changes, They resist the efforts of the Protectionists to augment the tariff, and especially to do away with the reciprocity treaties.Speaking for them, M.Tirard has recommended adtesion to the existing tariff, but then he hag bestowed warm praises on the reform of 1888 \u2014that is to say, the reduction of the daties in the tariff\u2014by those reciprocal treaties, which have given rise to what is called the conventional tariff.He has declared that, in his opinion, agriculture could not benefited by prohibitory duties; but could be aided only by measures tending to its improvement as an art, and has taken his stand upon the position that,in competition with other nations, France could, on the whole, hold her own without artificial assistance from legislation, this view of the case will be adopted, we do not venture to predict ; for the Ministerial authority is not so established in the French Republic as to create the prima facie assurance of success which belongs to Ministerial measures in England and in Canada.We are sorry to observe indications of uneasiness in France as to the aspect of the British Government towards the Republiccidents have given occasion to this, we believe, perfectly groundless feeling.One is that the Dachess of Edinburgh, though she has been into several well.known Bonapartist houses, did mot call on Mad.Grevy, the wife of the President ; excusing berself by alleging the \u2018Whether Two in- Illness of her mother.It is not at all probable, however, that the Russian Duchess has it regulated, by the wishes of any political authority in England.The other is the Queen\u2019s order or request to Sir Evelyn Wood to accompany the Empress Eugenie on her somewhat Quixotic visit to Zululandagain, can be considered only as a per.regulates her conduct, or Bat this, onal attention to an old friend in deep distress; for, assuredly, no Bonapartist political object can be served by a forlorn Empress being honourably ac- ompanied in a sad, and perhaps, we may not unreasonably add, her foolish mission.The last matter of consequence which, being transacted in France, is of world-wide consequence, is their treatment by the Chambers of the religious mission finds that all the charges against | question.The present Government is Commissioner Hoyt, regarding the Arizona | a Mining echeme, were untrue; that Edward Knapp Hoyt\u2019s agent in the affair turns out to be his own son, and that the nti-clefical; but, though they have carried their measures with respect to education in the Senate, it has been by such affidavit against Hart, the agent at the | small majorities as to make it doubtful, San Carlos Agency, was not transmitted to the Department of Justice until after Gen.Fisk had brought his charges against Hoyt.The report, it is said, will enly deal with the charges against Hoyt in regard to the Arizona Mining matter.a On Friday two companies under Captains Rucker and Hooker attacked Victoria\u2019s band, five miles north of Palomas, Colorado, and drove them from a ford.One Indian scout was killed and three soldiers wounded.In the night Victoria crossed the Rio \"Grande.On Sunday General Morrow discovered a trail and marched thirty-five miles in pursuit.Oa Sunday he was but a few hours behind Victoria Measures have been taken \u2018to prevent his escape through San Nicholas and San Augusta passes.General Wallace intends, if Victoria is captured, to have him and his band arraigned for murdar.Brrore the Washington Ways and Means Committee H.V.Poor, editor of the Railway Manual, estimated that 7,000 miles of railroad would be built in 1880 if needed, 1,600,000 tons of steel rails would be needed for old and new roads combined, which was double the capacity ef the American works whether producing iren or steel rails.He said that, unless by a reduction of the duty the rails can be had from foreign sources, & vast extent of the railways now projected will remain in abeyance indefinitely.Mr.Poor maintained that if there had been no American production of steel rails the competition among the English manufacturers and | among themselves would have kept prices | tl ust as low.\u2014_ in the present condition ef parties there, whether the Bill can go through intact.In the meantime they have bolished, or are about to abolish, army chaplaincies ; but we do not understand the full significance of this movement, as the chaplain\u2019s duty may, perhaps, he otherwise provided for.will undoubtedly occur before long on the question of permitting divorce in France, in which, again, the clerical and anti.clerical forces will against each other.just brought out a book on this subject which may be looked on as a trampet- blast inviting the enemies to join in the combat.A great fight be arrayed Dumas junior has > THE SUGAR DUTIES IN THE UNITED SYATES.There is a long examination going on before a Committee of Congress upon the question of the sugar duties, and a great variety of interests have been represented.one method ; the refiners, low molasses The refiners, who follow who fol.another; the importers ; the boilers ; the representa- the Louisiana planters; ves of wee | Were all there.One interest alonejhas \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 s0 far been conspicuously absent\u2014it is that of the peeple who use the sugar.Yet a few words from Mr.Havemeyer, à great sugar refiner, who contended that the duties should not be changed in a certain direction, as proposed, would seem to indicate that this interest would have something important to say, if it became, as Carlyle terms it, articulate.\u201cThe consumption,\u201d said Mr.Havemeyer, \u201c I think, ia based on the cheap- \u201c ness of the article.In Great Britain, \u201c where there ia no duty on sugar, and \u201cwhere sugar costs the consumer only about half what it costs here, the annual \u201c\u2018 consumption is sixty-three pounds per \u201c head.\u201d In the sitting, of which we have the report before us, only one other person, either among witnesses or Committeemen, had any motion that the sugar-eaters in the United States have rights which the Legisi:ture is bound to regard.One of the Louisianian witnesses comnlained that the planters were not as well off as formerly, when the duties on imported sugars were much lower than at present, because labour was now cai ried on on a different system from that which prevailed under slavery.Thereupon Mr.Morrison askei \u2018\u2018 whether he \u201c\u2018 meant to say that, becanse Louisiana \u2018\u2018had been deprived of cheap labour, * the people at large should be taxed to * equalize ic P\u201d With these two excep- tioms, everybody seemed to think that the best proof that could be ulleged in favour of his own particular theory, was evidence that his plan would make sugar cost more in some way or other to those who used it, for the benefit of the persons whom he represented.All were apparently alike indifferent to Mr.Havemeyer\u2019s theory, that, to make sugar dear was to shorten the consumption, of course by preventing it from being eaten by thoss who could not afford to pay a high price for a large quantity.Curious WiLL CASE\u2014A Mr.Lewis, some years ago, dying a reputed bachelor in New York, left $1,800,000 to the Government to be used in liquidating the National debt.It is said now that ne rich man can die in the United States without having his will contested The deceased Lewis was not an exception to the rule.Jane Hastings, forty years old, and ugly, came forward as his widow, and cpposed the admission of his will to probate.She produced a marriage certificate signed by a Mr.Fish, J.P.of Hoboker, which was witnessed by Bradford, known to the police as a broken-down gambler, and by George Browne.The latter gentleman, however, not heing like Sir Boyle Riche\u2019s bird, able to bs in two places at once, was, nevertheless, certainly locked up in the Tombs in New York throughout the day, when he also witnessed the certificate of marriage given at Hoboken.He was never afterwards out of prison, where, in fact, he died.Bradford being still alive appeared in Court on the will case ; swore to his signature to the marriage; and to the identity of the widow, The present phase of the affair exhibits poor widow Mrs.Lewis, Mr.Bradford and five other persons, male and female, grinning through gaol bais, or out on heavy bail, charged with conspiracy.eee, À BrsHor\u2019s Harnp WoBK.-We remember the time when the post of a Bishop of the Church of England was popularly regarded as very much of a sinecure.If that was ever true to any extent, it has ceased to be so, if we may judge from the records of a single year of the work of one member of the Episcopal Bench.The year was not exceptionally heavy, yet there were 89 sermohs delivered in the course of it, there were 63 confirmation services hela, 23 openings of new churches, 40 speeches at publie meetings, and 152 other addresses of various kinds.Fifty clergymen were ordained, 46 committee meetings attended, 474 interviews granted, 6,744 letters received, and in reply to some of these the Bishop wrote with his own hand 4,529, or an average of 14 or 15 for every week day in the year.SE GrAND TRUNK EXTENSION.\u2014T'hrough as well as local shippers will have some satisfaction in knowing that connection was made yesterday between the Eastern and Western sections of the Grand Trunk Railway Company's Western road, an engine having been run over the new track, proving the line to be in good condition, The Company\u2019s system extends now from Chicago to the Atlantic, and it is intimated that they will be ready to do freight business, at least, over their new line in a few days.\u2014 THE SNoW-STORM which we have our telegrams reporting it from all parts of the continent, especially to the eastward, where fears are entertained for the shipping.i \u2014 Tug ENerLisE Mairs.\u2014The snow-drifts on the line are retarding the progress of the English mails, and it is not expected that they will arrive much before nine o\u2019clock this morning.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TER Colorado delegation in Congrees and Governor Pitkin have represented to the President the defenceless condition of the frontier settlements of Colorado, The President gave assurances that steps would be taken to protect them promptly in case of emergency.een PirTIES giving the preference to the Weber pianos are invited to examine the beautiful specimens of these graatly prized instruments, both grand square and upright, now on sale at the Weber Rooms, 183 St.James street.Prices very little above other firat-claes pianos.DOMINION DETECTIVE AGENCY AND M&rCHANTS\u2019 Pouce, Offices 214 St.James street, Montreal.\u2014This Agency is now prepared to do all legitimate Detective ;business entrusted to it by Express, Railroads, or Insurance Companies, and Banks or individuals.All business strictly confidential.Jno.FAHEY, Manager.Private residence, 15 Gosford street.Hew Advertisements.NOTICE.Mr.O.BRUNEAU, formerly my assistant and collector, is no longer in my employment, and is not authorized to receive money, give receipts, or tranaact any busi, ness whatever in my name.D.McEACHRAN, Veterinary Surgeon.January 29 r 24 C.H.WETHEY, Accountant and Auditor, Commissioner for Ontario and Quebec, INSURANCE, INVESTMENT, AND ESTATE AGENT, 44 St.John-street, Montreal.February 3 6m 28 NEW PHILADELPHIA SILVEB MINING CO.Capital Stock, $1,500,000 in 150,000 Shares, $10 each.NON ASSESSABLE.Tha jndersigned are authorized to dise pose of the balance of the Treasury 8tock.The MILL is now completed, and active operations are about to commence.The company is now in better condition than at any previous time, with a large amount of KICH ORE ready to reduce, This is the last opportunity that will be afforded to subscribe to Treasury Stock.SMITHERS & DONALD.Rooms 34 and 35 Drexel Building, 3 Broad st.New York.Any infermation can be obtained at the company\u2019s office;

having been directed to send a circular to the various Agricultural Societies in Nova Scotia, asking them to name tbe most suitable place, in order of preference, for future Provincial exhibitions, the majority bave expressed their preference for Halifax, Truro being next.A large quantity of beef and mutton was shipped in the sieamer for Newfoundland to-day.The heaviest snow-storm of this winter has been raging since one o\u2019clock.At nine o\u2019clock this morning the Imperial and Militia troops began to assemble.The Royal Artillery, Royal Éagineers, 101st and 97th Regiments, lined rhe streets in open order from Government House to North Street Railway Station.The station was beattifully decorated ; over the door Was u well executed shield bearing the arms of the Dominion, The ceiling of the waiting-room was festooned with red and white bunting; the passage from the main entrance out to tae plat form was carpeted with crimson, and screened off with rich foliage plants.The gasaliers were festooned with brighv lowers, and {pillars and handrails entwined with crimson and white bunting.The windows of the refreshment stand were filled with illuminated panels, and the stand was surmounted by a coronet, the gallery in the station being festooned with flags and strings of the same run across from side to side through the building.About eleven o'clock the Governor-General and Princess entered Governor Archibald\u2019s sleigh at the Government House, the guard of honour of the 97th Regiment presenting arms, and the band playing \u201cGod Save the Queen.\u201d Then a pleasing incident occurred.An old pensioner, who had seen long service in the army, came forward from the crowd at the door, and offering his hand to the Princess, said he had shaken hands with her Royal mother.Her Royal Highness, with a pleasant smile, cordially shook hands with the old fellow, and he stepped back the proudest man in the crowd.The team then drove off through the military lines to the railway station, where the party were received by a guard of tonour from the 101st Regiment, and the let Halifax Garrison Artillery and the Halifax Field Battery, in the yard north of the station, fired a salute.Some thousands of people had assembled in and around the station.A noticeable feature was the number of old people present, who had thought nothing of waiting an hour in the biiing cold, seeming to care nothing for the show and parade but evidencing an intense anxiety to catch a glimpee of the daughter of their Queen.The utmost enthusiasm prevailed as the Vice-Regal train moved slowly off.Three ringing cheers were given by those in the station, caught up by the multi tude outside and carried along the military line, Again the Field Battery thundered out a salute, and the Citadel, saluting the battery, answered.A few moments more and the train turned the bend in the road and was out of sight of those at the station.Far up the line, however, the inhabitants turned out to cheer the party.ST JOHN THE PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION.ST.Joux, N.B., February 9.\u2014At a public meetjog of citizens this afternoon it was decided to ask tbe Common Council to assess the city

Srr,\u2014 The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada has now, it appears, secured a trrough route to Chicago, the great emporium of the west.I believe we may look for its opening for traffic in the course of a few weeks.\u2018The people of Montreal seem to me to have lost almost all interest in the trade of the city.Ontario is all alive on the subject of railway communication.Has Montreal nothing to say on this matter ?Is tbe fact that we have à direct railway communication with one of the greatest.distributing points on this continent of po moment?Where are the Board of Trade, the Corn Exchange, tha City Corporation, or our Local Governments ?Onlya few days ago it w&s announced that a railway track had been laid on the ice across the mighty St.Lawrence to Longueuil.Now, wnen it is well known that we have a bridge and a railway which gives us unbroken connection with the important town of Longueuil, some people conld not see what great udvantage the ice railway was going to confer upoa us, yet there was a great.gathering of civic, political and railway magnates to inaugurate or float the scheme.Everybody was immenscly pleased.It occurs to me that the Chicago business is well nigh as important as that of Longueuil, and the person or company that has given Montreal a Chicago connection is assuredly as worthy of some public recognition as the gentlemen who merely got a train across the river.Yours, &e., COMMERCE.Montreal, February 3, 1880.CHURCH DEBTS.-\u2014\u2014 To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Sia,\u2014Mr.Carsley bas thought fit to add to his notoriety, or for some other reason, to publish a list of Protestant churches and their supposed debts.This may be very entertaining matter for the perusal of the public at large; but what right has he, or any one, to expess the encumbrances of churches, or other private corpcrations, to the public gaze ?1 say private corporations, fur a church is a private body quoad the outside public, as mush so as is a mercantile establishment ; and not until such corporation has become insolvent, has any outside person a right to enquire into, and expose publicly, its pecuniary af fairs, If Mr.Carsley\u2019s object is to inaugurate a plan, having for its object the extinguishment of the debts of the churches, after having made his own ¢ pile,\u201d no one could reasonably object to that as a \u201cconsummation devoutly to be wished for,\u201d however much a less ostentatious mode of dealing with the subject might be preferred.In any event, Mr.Carsley is, without doubt, guilty of a breach of good manners, and an impertinence; and I am very much mistaken if the Protestant community, whose sensibilities he has 80 wantonly outraged, do not indicate ite resentment in a way that he will feel most sensibly, viz, by bestowing its patronage in other quarters.Yours, &e., Henry Lyman, Montreal, February 3, 1880, THE MAYORALTY.To the E:itor of the MONTREAL HERALD, DEAR SIR,\u2014In order to save trouble to my

There is no poetic halo about a wife; sbe is one of the commonest of commonplaces, like one of those everyday forces of nature to which one submits when one pleases or when one must, but which one never scruples to evade when one wishes to and can! The interest of a sweetheart in your welfare is something flattering; your wife\u2019s interest is a matter of course,\u2014an interest ex officio.It is an act of the highest grace to yield to the entreaty of a sweetheart; the beseeching of a\u201d wife seems more like a behest; it is to be resisted, according to the maxim that vigilance is the lowest market price of liberty.Mark respected Roxy\u2019s enthusiasm.But he was tired of the strain on his easy disposition.He could not live at & moral concert-pitch, and every attempt to bring him back to the old way of feeling and thinking only irritated him, and deepened his resolution to brook no further restraint, He was net sure that he did not owe himself certain compensations for what he had suffered in the past.The prospect of his soon inheriting his father\u2019s property had increased his importance in the town, and the state of being important is not disagreeable to the self-love of any man.Mark\u2019s old visions of political ascendancy again dominated over him, and he beat ali his energieg to satisfy his ambition.He was young and full of vigorous life,\u2014 rieb, as the country went,\u2014popular, and with a great capacity for enjoyment.It is easy for such a man not to be religious after the fashion of thirty years age.To add to the embarassment of Roxy\u2019s situation, her sensitive father would not cross the Bonamy threshold, and it was Lot often that she could get away to see him, and then it was only to take a scolding for her folly in \u201cwearing herself out\u201d with taking care of Colonel Bonamy, and teaching Bobo.\u201cAn imbecile and an idiot!\u201d Adams thundered.Mark was often absent, while attending to business on other parts of the judicial circuit, and Roxy felt, with terror, when he returned, how far away, the one from the other, they were drifting.Mark\u2019 pleasure-loving disposition had revived with increased power since his long self-restraint.He was the leader of every party in wit and buoyant spirits, and to be leader was to be happy.He was happier away from home, where he was petted and admired, than he was at home, where he was under condemnation.Roxy's temper did not stand the strain very well.Her\u2019s was a character noble in the direction of action, and self-sacrifice for an object.But the higher nobilty of patient endurance of suffering, inevitable and apparently useless, she had not yet learned.Against Mark\u2019s neglect of her advice, his cirlessness for her society, and the general disappointment and inactivity of her life, she rebelled bitterly.Oaly a high-spirited woman can undertake such a life as Roxy proposed, and no high-mettled woman can broek neglect.She had too much elevation to enjoy the only life that offered itself to her.She had not yet, at least, elevation enough to accept with peace asd patience what she could not avoid.A \u2018young person full of energy is apt to beat against the impenetrable and insurmountable walls of fate.After awhile, one learns that this beating wounds tbe one who beats and flutters, but affects nota jot the J walls.Then the imprisoned yields, it may be with a cheerful make the-best- of-it, it may be with a sullen and sulky despair, it may be with a quernlous and hopeless longifig.Roxy kad yet to find out that she could not beat down the wall.Toe oprortunities for Mark\u2019s ambition came to him rapidly.The death of tbe member from Luzerne County left a vacancy in the Legislature; a new election was ordered, and the Whigs, seeing a chanca to seize once more a representation which they bad not held since Mark\u2019s previous election, nominated him agaia for the place.The canvass was sbort and vigorous, and Mark won the election.He was just two weeks in the Legislature,\u2014a leader in all the boisterous fun that members of the Legislatara find so necessary for recreation.Until this time, Mark had 80 fi r preserved his Methodism that he did not drink spirits or gamble; but when he came back, Roxy felt sure that this line also bad been past.4 collision of some kind with the severe discipline of the old-fashioned Methodism was not to be avoided by any one taking Mark\u2019s road.His prominence would only serve to insure his not being overlocked.Roxy awaited this inevitable collision with hope and fear.It might startle Mark into some kind of recoil from the downward tendency of his present course of greedy ambition and lazy self-indulgence; but it might break ull the restraints that beld bim.For the moral restraints of habit are but so many lines at which one stops\u2014with every line obliterated.there are fewer checks in the way of the impetuous man.Unhappily, the first collision was on one of those restrictions 80 often insisted upon by religion.isto, with a stress in inverse ratio to their importance.Mark went to a circus.A man in that time might bea miser, he might be dishonest in a mild way, he might be censorious and a backbiter from a pions stand-point, he might put the biggest apples on the top of the barrel or the little potatoes in the bottom of the bag, and the church could not reach him.But let him once see a man ride on two bare-back horses, and jump through a hoop! That was a tangible apostasy, sure to bring ecclesiastical penalties.Brave old ironside forefathers! Blessings on you for chopping old Charles Stuart\u2019s head off and planting Plymouth Rock! You freed us from the Middle Ages; for which, thanks.But you straightway bound upon us your ows severe prejudices, and they have come down to us from all bands.The most dominant influence in this English speaking world of ours tc-day, is not that of Shakspeare, but of the men who hated him and bis play-house.The Puritan preachers, the brave cobblers and tinkers whom the seventeenth century stuck in the stocks and prison houses, and the fervent Wesleyan village blacksmiths and Yorkshire farmers of the eighteenth century, are yet masters of the nineteenth.To this day we take our most innocent amusements in a guilty and apologetic fashion, bowing to the venerable prejudice, and saying: \u201cBy your leave, sir.\u201d Mark was called before the Church, with other like offenders.His pride wag wounded, and he would fain have thrown up his membership, but that he could not quite resist the entreaties of Roxy.As it was, he surrendered his license to preach, and expressed bis sor row that he haa cffended, and solemnly promised not to go to a circus again;
