Chrissie chOked back a sob while
reading the note he had left her. 1t
seemed so awful that John should
have gone TO town in that way with
out a bite of breakfast and no part

Then she remembered the bitter
ness of the words between them on
the night before, and she shut down
the white teeth firmly.
'No; 1 will never insult any one
without cause. He brought Julian
here-I didn't-and it is my duty to

he spoke so to me, but / shan't for

silky locks, her head became full OF

Saturday, and all at. once she won

sPiIs the difference.

Mr.. James O'Reilley, the famous
Queens Counsel, of Kingston, is one
of the best, as he is certainly the
wittiest, OF the lawyers at the Cana
dian bar. IL was he, by-thc-way,
who conducted the very skillful and
sensational prosecution which en-
ded in the conviction and execution
of Whelan for the assassination of
Hon. Thomas Darcy niece. On
one occasion he found himself on a
country circuit, of counsel for the
plaintiff I'm a civil suit. The plain
tiff claimed $1,000; the defendant
denied that there was amy indebted
ness whatever. There were some
nice points OF law raised in the
course Of the trial; counsel were
captious, and the judge critical; and
for three mortal days the unfortu-
nate jurors, who were OF the rural
persuasion, were pelted with exam
nations, crOss-examinations, excep-
tions, objections, rejoinders, evil
dence in rebuttal and surrebuttal-

O'Reilley rose to wind up the case
they feared that an avalanche OF au-

surprise and pleasure he addressed
them thus:
"Gentlemen, l am plain, praeti-

We give below translation of the special
German dispatches in yesterdays HERALD
The comments of the North German press on
the occasion Of the opening Of the Exhibition
are not only interesting but, considering all
the circumstances Of the relations existing be-
tween the two countries, highly instructive
1t will be seen by perusal Of the dispatches
that Prussia takes the first favorable oppor-
tunity Of clearing up all old differences be-
tween the two empires while still maintaining
the position she gained in 1866 as the leader
In everything German. The Exhibition
afforded splendid chance for de-
claring that bygones should be bygones
and this the official and semi-of6cial
organs Of Emperor Wilhelm's government
have done, adding to their we'll studied
phrases Of o political character much that is
sympathetic and almost boisterously encour-
aging for the Austrian people. The Berlin
National Zeitwy believes that, Notwithstanding
the difficulties that always attend national
exhibition, and despite the fierce criticisms
hurled against it, Vienna deserves great
credit in the present instance, and that Aus
tria may be able to cover her recent military
defeats by decisive industrial victory. The
Berlin Tribune rejoices that this will be a
special German triumph and that both Ger
many and Austria will come out, as they went
In, united. The Berlin Post believes that
while this exhibition may be the means
Of peace to a certain extent, it behooves
them still to regard the passions Of men and
nations, and that the German navy must soon
be seen on every sea and that, while she can
then protect her commerce and her coasts
she will be o greater offensive power in the
world. The Srenershe Zeitung rejoices that
the Exhibition opens under such politically
favorable auspices that while the last Lon
don and Paris Exhibitions we're held under
political clouds, SO to speak, the present one
opens under o cloudless horizon. Our cor
respondent perceiving the importance of
the subject, transmitted them to US; we
printed them in German, as we did our spe-
cial dispatches on the opening day, and we
have no doubt their value will be duly appre-
ciated by our English readers.

ton Of sThe Worlds Historical Moment has
Passed." says
1.-THE Vienna Worlds Fair is now open and,
doubtless, this day, the first Of. May, 1873, is
one of high, incalculable importance to the
development of Austria. After England and
France, she is the first to venture upon
such an enterprise, and, Notwithstanding the
comparatively incomplete appearance Of the
affair at present, we must not forget that with
every new exhibition arise new difficulties to
surmount. The construction Of harmony out
Of chaos was always difficult matter.
AUSTRIA VICTORIOUS IN PEACE.
''Austria will show what she is capable of
doing in the field Of industry. She will learn
to correct her own deficiencies. One can
easily conceive the satisfaction she will feel
over the completion of her enterprise. Aus
tria, by her immense progress in culture,
science and art will put her defeats in the
shade. In that wherein she surpasses other
nations, wherein she develops grand power,

ABOUT the HERALD, this paper entirely disregards

fact that Auerbach sends his May greetings from
Gernsbach instead Of Vienna In Auerbach's fault,
not the HERALD's, which paper doubtlessly meant

paid to the German element deserves full acknowl-

Views OF the Berlin Post.
The Berlin Post says
Yesterday the Vienna International Ex-
hibihon was opened in the presence Of the
Crown Prince of Germany. Since 1851,
when Prince Albert opened the first Worlds
Fair in London, upon which occasion
everything that could be done for fclat
was brought into requisition, no opening cere-
mony has been more magnificent than the
one this year, where the three Northern
Powers are joined in the most intimate
friendship; where England, in approaching
Russia and Germany, gives special guarantees
of q European peace, and where the destinies
of France and Spain prevent these two ma
tons from everstepping their boundaries.
We usually hope that these universal exhibi-
tons will advance the peaceable interests of
nations, and we may with confidence count
upon this in the present instance. However,
these hopes and wishes should not blind us to
the passions q pen and nations
''FEELER" TOUCHING THE GERMAN NAVY.
1t will still be the duty of Germany to
zealously develop the defensive resources Of
the nation in the future as she has done in the
past, although neither nature nor history has
invested this field Of labor with much interest.
We refer to the new plan for establishing
navy, the principal aim of which are the
protection and representation of German COM
merce in all the ports of the world, the defend
ing of our own coasts and the increasing of
our facilities for the offensive.

The New YORK HERALD OF yesterday certainly led
the press OF America, and probably Of the world, in
enterprise. 1t published two long communications,
transmitted from Vienna by trans Continental and
trans Atlantic telegraph, from John Russell Young
and Edmund Yates, giving graphic descriptions Of
the opening OF the great Exposition and two other
long communications, printed IN German, from the
famous German authors, Berthold Auerbach and
Louise Muhlbach, on the same subject. The HER
AID deserves credit for the princey manner In
which 1t thus expends its princely income. It may
be said that other journals cannot AFFORD such costly
enterprises, and that the HERALD eclpses them Dy
sheer force OF almost nlimitable resources. But
this would be unjust. 1t requires genius 20 con-
ceive and broad iberality to execute these great
feats OF journalistic enterprise.

The NEW YORK HERALD, which is never at loss
to surprise the public with its enterprising, novel
and striking ideas, did very peculiar and very
surprising thing in its issue of last Friday 1t was
surprise, although it had prepared US for it by It's
editorial on the day previous. The issue OF Friday
was almost completely devoted to the discussion
of the impressive and magnificent opening
OF the vienna Exhibition. The HERALD
gave not only the two German letters which
it had already announced, but it also gave German
dispatches translated from the English) and
German editorial 1t had assigned the place OF
honor to the productions of the two German
authors. This preference was more justified by
the ilustrious names OF the two authors than by
their letters, which were not nearly so interesting
and SO much to the point as those OF its English
correspondents. What Berthod Auerbach SAYS Is,
OF course, like all his writings brilliant and rich in
striking pictures and novel IDEAS but IL could have
been written months ago, and II they we're really
sent by cable 1t was mere squandering OF money,
because they had very little to do with the Exhibit

Views OF the Berlin Tribune.

Views or the Berlin Tribune.
The Berlin Tribune, in regard to the same
Exhibition, says:-
'sWe take more interest in the Exhibition
in Vienna than we did in either of those of
London or Paris, because it takes place
on German soil, and we speak with those
who opened it with German accent because
Austria, at least the western portion of the
so-called Austro- Hungarian monarchy is the
country nearest to us in the world, and we
rejoice that the necessary explanation of 1866
has left no more serious imprints. Germany
desired unity. Either Austria or Prussia had,
of necessity, to take the leadership. Sue
cess decided, after short campaign, in favor
of Prussia, and Austria may feel contented
that her development is no longer impeded
by German interference.
BERLIN sYMPATHIZING WITH VIENNA.
''We celebrate the day of the opening of the
Exhibition with sincere sympathy. We are
glad that Austria has this favorable opportu-
nifty to exhibit to the world the treasures of
her industry, her wealth and the productions
of her soil.
TRUTHFUL COMPARISONS.
"Under the government Of the present EN-
peror, Vienna has developed itself enormously,
SO that it can now receive with dignity and
self-possession the innumerable host Of for
eigners who will visit their great show, state
ment we are sorry, we could not with the
same assurance make of Berlin, which, owing
to the inexperience and slowness Of the author
tiles to meet actual necessities, still lacks sew
eral of the essential attributes of metropolis.
Of course Vienna was always the more antique
like, the wealthier and by nature more ia
vored city, and Berlin, if it desires to equal
Vienna or keep pace with it in point of ele-
gance, the attractions of life and convenience
for travellers, must exert more than twice the
energy required in Vienna
