England's Counter Case.

LONDON, April l6.
The following note accompanied the
counter case delivered to the board ofa
bitration at Genava, yesterday, on behalf
of Great Britain:
The undersigned is instructed by Her
Majesty's government to say that while
presenting their counter case under the
special reservation herein after mention.
ed, they find it incumbent upon them to
inform the arbitrators that misunder.
standing has unfortunately arisen between
Great Britain and the United States
touching the nature and extent of Wash.
ington. The misunderstanding relates to
claims for indirect losses under three
heads:
First. Loss in the transfer Of Ameri.
can shipping to the British flag.
Second. Loss from enhanced insur.
ance.
Third. Loss from the prolougation of
the war.
The claims fer indirect losses is not ad.
mitted by Her Majesty's government to
be within the scope and intention of the
arbitration. Her Majesty's government
have been and still are in correspondence
with the government of the United States
in relation thereto, as that correspondence
has not been brought to final issue.
Her Majesty's government desire the ar.
bitration to proceed with reference to the
claims for direct loss. They have thought
it proper, meantime, to present counter
case which is strictly confined to direct
claims, in the hope that the unfortunate
misunderstanding may be removed. Her
MaJesty's government expressly and
formally notify the arbitrators that the
counter case is presented without preju.
dice to the position assumed by Her Ma
jesty's government in the correspondence
where to reference has been made and
under the express of reservation of all
Her Majesty's rights in the event of diff
terences continuing to exist between the
parties. If necessary, further communi.
cation will be made to the arbitrators.
(Signed,) TENTERDEN.
A special dispatch from Geneva to the
Daily News says: 1t is feared that the
nature of the protest against the jurisdic-
ton Of the arbitrators at Geneva averse
to the American claims for indirect dam.
ages, which accompanies the British
counter case, may prevent settlement Of
the disputes between England and Amer
lea under these claims.

Opening of the Dominion Parliament.

The last session of the present Domin-
ion Parliament opened at Ottawa, Thurs
day. The governor general, in his speech
alluded to to the illness Of the prince of
Wales, and recommended that the 10Th
of April be get apart as a day of thanks
giving. He spoke of the Feuian iuva-
sion of Manitoba, and said that for the
future protection Of the colony he had Or
dered force Of militia to Fort Garry,
who had proved the practicability of a
route through the Canadian territory even
in winter. A copy of the treaty of Wash
ington will be read before the House and
also the completed correspondence, so far
as it can be made public without injury
to the empire or the Dominion A con.
ference, held in September, Professionally
arranged scheme for the encouragement
of immigration, for which Parliament
will doubtless make ample provision. The
governor alluded to the consummaton of
the British Columbia 18th Canada, and
said that the new delegates would now
take seats. He recommends a provision
for the construction Of a railway to the
Pacific, the vigorous prosecution of long.
contemplated Improvements and the ex-
tension of the canal system, for the CON-
pletion of facilities OF communication with
the great West, with the gulf Of St. Law.
renee and the bay of Fundy. The reven-
ue for the past and present fiscal year
will be considerably in excess of the esti-
mate, and consequently there is no reason
to apprehend embarrassment from the im
mediate comm encement of the contempla
ted public improvements.

Dear Coi.-To all appearances the

already broken. What long and pros
porous reign he has succeeded in holding
But his throne is tottering his sceptrc is
being wrested from his cold and icy grasp,
We had fine display of electric fire.
works last evening. Rather early in the
season for thunder storms in these high
northern latitudes so it seems. What q
pale sickly glare the lightning gives on
the snow. 1t called to mind that grand
painting, death on the Pale Horse"
where the Lightning was darting from the
hand Of the Death King.
There is general belief that but little
maple sweet will be manufactured in
these parts this season. l saw By the
REGISTER that the enterprisiDg farmers on
the West Side were engaged iu tapping
their sugar orchards some time sipce.
One great obstruction, in the way Of
successful sugar making campaign with
us, is the deep snow in the woods. Three
or four days ago it was said to be four
on level. Thus you see it is no easy
task to get from tree to tree. Iu fact SO
great appears the labor that but few at.
tempt it.
We have but little to excite us here as
a general thing, but occasionally some.
thing transpires to disturb the usual
quietness of the place. For instance up.
on the 4th of April, young villain
thought to avail himself Of our supposed
friendliness and inactivity and to increase
his stock OF money and jewelry in very
unscupulous manner. He broke into the
store Of one Of the South Royalton mer-
chants and took over two hundred dollars
worth of money and goods from it. But
such things do not take very well with US
and the thing being soon alter discovered,
as the thief did his work about six p. m.
when the proprietor was at tea, the officers
aud people set themselves to the task of
taking him, which they did the same
evening. "Thus endeth this chapter" for
our youthful friend now enjoys the bless
ings Of a permanent home.

management Of its thorough and hard

MADRID, April I6.
The bands of Carlists agitating the
country for the past few days have all
disappeared, with the exception of one in
the province of Barcelona, which has Of
tered to surrender to the Government
1t is represented that no attention
whatever is paid oy the country people to
the movements OF these bands, although
large sums of money were spent to secure
their sympathy.
Espartes, Caldo, Montaloin and Alya-
res were elected as ministerialists to the
Senate, the upper branch of the Cortes,
from the city of Madrid.
Rios Rivero and Figuerola were de.
feated here. Olozaga was elected to the
Senate from Logrono,
The elections resulted in the success Of
the ministerialists in % out of 25 provin.

As far as known the ministry have one
hundred and thirteen and the opposition
thirty-nine Senators.

given the Spanish Government assurances
Of their determination to suppress the

Curious Antipathies.

The subject of sympathies and antipa-
thies is extremely curious. Boyle faint
ed when he heard the splashing Of water ;
Schliger turned pale at the sight of water
crosses; Erasmus became fevcrish when
he saw fish. A curious story is told of
clergyman that he always tainted when
he heard certain verse in Jeremiah
read. Zimmerman tells us Of lady who
could not endure the feeling of silk or
satin, and shuddered when touching the
vclvcty skin of peach. Mr.. Julian
Young tells the story Of an officer who
could not endure the sound of drum,
and ultimately fell dead when compelled
to hear it.
There are whole families who entertain
horror of cheese on the other hand
there was physician, DR.. Stark, of Ed
inburgh, who lost his life by subsisting
almost entirely upon it. Some people
have been unable to take mutton, even
when administered in microscopic form of
pills. There is the case of man falling
down at the smell of mutton as if bereav-
of life and in strong convulsions. Sir
James Eyer, in his well known little
books, mentions three curious instances
of idiosyncrasy The case of gentle.
men who could not eat single strawber-
ry with impunity; the case of another,
whose head would become frightfuly
swollen if he but touched the smallest
particle Of hair the case of third, who
would inevitably have an attack of the
gout few hours after eating fish.

by HELEN MAYNARD.
Inscribed to L. Forbes, In memory Of his wife
Sleeping in Jesus, so sweetly,
As she calmly sank into rest;
Slumbering, where friends gently place her,
Entombcd, meath the flowers Of the west.
The woods were in mantles Of grandeur,
With foliage 80 rich and so rare,
And the yellow birds chirping so sveetly.
As they swung in the September air.
Our hopes, like the autumn we're fading
And solemnly, surely, yet slow;
We spake the last words Of parting,
To dwell on a bitterer woe.
Ger the grave of thy young bride dream
ing,
The stars their vigils will keep;
No more at the gate will she meet thee,
Her eyes are closed in deaths sleep.
Loving thee, yet not forgetting
Oh! for such faith to the last;
Cheerful, thankful, endowing,
No regrets for aught that was past.
The heart that is Scared with deep sorrow.
By hours that sadly have bloomed
In future will cast Ger thy pathway,
Memory's rarest perfume.
The woods will again be as crimson
With foliage as rich, and as rare;
The yellow bird chirping still sweetly,
Swaying in September air.
From cares, and from sorrow, thy darling
Hath found golden release;
As she presses the tiny forget-me -nots,
On the silvery shores of peace.

BY MRS. A. 4. STANLEY.

Where are the heads that used to wear
These three golden curls of hair
Looking 50 beautiful and fair,
Lying upon the basket there.
This was gentle Laura's curl:
A sweet and lovely blue eyed girl
See IL round my finger twirl
Where are thy mates? beautiful curl
Is that precious sunny head
Nestled down among the deadp
In some quiet grassy bed,
Where the willow bends Its head?
or dost thou DER life's billows glide.
with one thou lowest by thy sldee
In whom thy sweetest thoughts conflde,
AS gently DER the waves you ride,
Sweet Lydia, with her face so fair.
This little ringlet used to wear;
And when Love gathered rosies there,
HIS arrows caught amid her hair.
This curl is tied with ribbon white;
My heart is weeping at the sight
u minds me of being bright,
VINO, OF our home, was once the light.
Dear little curl too well know
The precious head Is lying low,
That wore 1t once in beauty's glow
RepoSing now beneath the snow.
'Tis Helens curl o! sainted one!
When thy sweet life in heaven begun,
What angel hand gave thee thy CROWN
On my falr brow resting IT down.

public and Monarchy. Their ancestors
settled the matter for them, at least for
the present, and positively must decide
it in the future. Mr.. Bright expresses
doubt MS to whether the Republicans are
his real friends.

Couple to be Divorced.
London Correspondence of the Now York Her
sld.
The ostensible obj ect of Her Majety's
visit to Germans is to see her half-sister,
the Princess Hohenhohe-Langcnsberg. 1t
is pretty well known, however, to those
persons at the West End that the pretend
ed affection towards the halt-sister serves
only as cover. Some of the London
journals have limited at the probability Of
a forthcoming marriage with German
prince fthe Princess Beatrice, the young
est daughter Of the Queen. That may be
so or not at all events it is only second
airy to the real object Of the Queens
journey The truth is that Her Majesty
has gone to use her influence in hushing
up the latest Court scandal, Prince
Teck, it is said, has been heard of In his
late travels on the Continent as being
accompanied by 2 well-known actress OF
the London stage. The Princess Teck
( princess Mary of Cambridge, it is ad-
ded, has become so enraged at the con-
duct of the Prince, her husband, that she
is 6rml y resolved to apply for divorce.
1t is with tho view to prevent further
mischief, and to dissuade, if possible, the
Princess Mary to have recourse to legal
measures, which, especially at this june
ture, would lead to unpleasantness if
brought before the public that Her Ma
jesty has gone to Baden in hopes to set
tie the difficulty" and to appease the
feelings Of the outraged Princess. The
foregoing is freely discussed on the shady
walks of Pail Mall, though, as matter
OF course, it does not appear in print,
and it is possible that we must receive
the story with several grains Of allowance.
The Princess Mary was born in 1888,
while Prince Teck is four years her jun
ior. They were married in June, 1866.
There are three children-one daughter
and two sons. The Prince Teck is the
son of Prince Alexander of Wurtemburg,
The actress is known as belonging to one
of the theatres in the Strand.

Fire Without Flame.

An experimenting Detroit chemist
took a piece of threadbare cotton cloth,
smeared it with linseed oil, and placed it
in the centre of chest filled with paper
and rags. Although the room was not
tight and the weather was cold, there
was smell of fire about the room in
eight days. Unpacking it, the expert.
menter found the rag half charred. In
April he made similar experiment with
a pair of painters overalls, which he
rolled up with pine shavings and crowd
ed in. next to the roof.boards of loft. In
week the smell OF smoke alarmed a
workman in the next room, aud the over.
alls were found to be on fire. And dur.
ing the hottest weather handful of old
rags, not smeared with oil, became hot
enough when hupg up in tin box in the
sun to light matches which he had placed
among them. These facts show the nec-
essity of caution in putting away rags, es-
pecially those that may be saturated with
oil, benzine, or other inaamable substan.
