copper, ana in dong so has discovered the
largest and most beautiful caverns IN all Ger
many. The two largest are elgnt hundred and
six hundred feet ii length respectively and
about one hundred and thirty feet in breadth,
and forty to fifty feet in height. The third cavern
is also several hundred feet long. The three
caverns contain in all nine pools OF water, so
clear that the smallest pebbles can be seen at
the bottom, though they are eight and nine feet
deep. This, of course, is only possible when the
cayerns are lighted up by magnesium or Bengal
lights, which, however, is very constantly the
case, as they are visited by many hundred per-
sons every day. A great many beautiful slabs of
gypsum hang from the roof.

The Reciprocity Negotiations.
CANADIAN OPINION OF THE CONCESSIONS OFFERED
BY THE DELEGATES.

CANADIAN OPINION OF THE CONCESSIONS OFFERED
BY THE DELEGATES.
From the Toronto Globe, Pe6ruary13.
All these humlliating concessions, be it re-
memt Tered, offered by the representatives of the
ProVinces-thlown at the Americans-at the
very commencement of the negotiations, and all
tor the precious consideration of reciprocal
legislation" terminable any day on the will OF
Congress !
Permit the Americans to remodel our whole
fiscal SYSTEM repeal duties, change duties, and
impose enormous customs and excise duties;
adopt their patent laws, build canals for tnem
to the tune of fifteen million dollars, and surren
der to them the priceless fisheries of British
America And 2ll for what? Why, for this one
Consideration-th such articles coming from
the United States as we admit into the Provinces
free OF duty the States will be gracously pleased
to permit TO pass from the Provinces into the
States on payment OF such internal revenue
their people. And the whole arrangement
liable 10 be swept away without one days
notice. We wonder no longer AT the audacity OF
the counter propositions of the Americans. Thoy
must have thought the Provinces on the verge
OF desperation at the loss OF the treaty, when
such proposals could have been made to them
by our delegates at the very opening OF the nego-
tatons. They must have thought that we were
entirely at their mercy, and that they had but
to name their conditions to have us greedily &C.
cept of them. Truly the conservative press have
cause TO ialicilitate themselves on the manner IN
which Mr.. Calf maintained the dignity OF the
country.
CONFEDERATION MORE NECESSARY NOW THAN EVER.
From the Toronto Leadar, February 13.
Great political and commercial questions are
thrown upon the surface by the refusal of the
United States to extend the treaty of the reci-
pTocity. These questions will best be brought
to desirable consummation by earnest action
on the part of British America. The time has
come for united and vigorous action. Now is
the tide in our affairs which, to lead to good,
must be taken at its present food.
n the Provinces. W

mercial policy. That we shall soon have
union we have the repeated word of our Cabinet
Ministers. Whatever legislation may take place
in the meantime upon commercial subjects will
in all probability be OF a temporary character.
HOSTILITY TO THE SCHEME SAID TO BE WEARING
OUT.
From the Ottdi0G Citizen. February 13.
The opposition to confederation in Nova Scotia
is wearing out, and some of the journals hitherto
bitterly hostile are calling for another conven-
ton to arrange terms OF unoo. The antl-press
probably begin to find out that the people are in
advance OF them, and that it is not safe 10 per-
sist longer in their opposition to that which the
people recognize as the true policy for the British

There are forty.nne more inhabitants than there
were in 1860.
The Supreme Court of New Haven has Just
decided an interesting case involving htty thou
sand dollars. Twenty-Five years ago Charles j.
Russ, OF Hartford, was appointed administrator
of the estate of his sister, Corneha Russ. The
estate included a large number OF shares in
the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, which
were appraised at five dollars per share, their
full market value at that time. To close the
estate Mr. Russ took the stock az the appraised
value and sold it. When the stock became yalu-
able an action was brought against the heirs of
Mr.. Russ by the heirs of his sister, and an
attempt was made to show that the sale OF the
stock was invalid. But the court has decided
that the sale was valid, and that Mr. Russ acted
properly, and without any intention Of fraud,
in taking the stock at its appraised and market
value.
The .ondon Orchestra closes its record of the
loss of Mr. Brooke, the tragedlan, OE The Inflated
London, with these words:-
''He was by birth gentleman, by position a
good actor. From 1888, when he appeared in
William TELL to this for HIM lll-iated year, his
fortunes had huctuated with more or less
variance according to his own exertions; for, 6.
v. Brooke had in common with the cleYerect
men, q besetting fault. He loved, too well, good
cheer. 1t would sound like detraction from the
high renown of his lies close 70 en!er INTO par
tculars as to this weakness; and his death atones
for every fault; but he would have stood yet
higher in his profession had he been more tenn
perate. His name Is known IN the three English
continents: here, from 1S4s when he played
'0thello' at the Olympic; In the provinces from
many triumph; IN New York from 1850 when
le earned q merited reputation In Australia and
California over and over again. In every bosom
of the thousands who kindly remember his
admitted abilities a sorrow has arisen, made
sacred by the tidings of that sad but noble hour
when G. Y. BrOoke's brave spirit went over to
the Majority"

In accordance with "time honored princi-

tons each claiming to be the Original ia
cobs," seeking admission to this Convention.
Each keeps up terrible eatter of gongs,

the peaceful days, days when the lizards"
and "Softs;" "Tammanys" and Mozart" pa
triots were both in the field for the Charleston

Nobody seems to be blinded OF confused by
all this commotion; every person has now come
to understand that New York politicians care
little about national affairs, and great deal
about who Of themselves shall run the State
government of New York, which from the
magnitude Of its patronage satisfies their pat

difficult and responsible position, we con-
graduate the community on his appointment.
