Herr HAAS on THE NORTHERN Pacific
P.,,roAp BoHpS -TWO years ago the North
crn Pacific Railroad Company attempted TO
uemotiate the sale of large quantities OF us
bonds in Europe. Application was maze 10
the Union Bank of Vienna, and also 10 GER
tain capitalists in Berlin. and the result was
the appointment OF two commissioners,
which came over to America and made i per-
sonal examination of the road ana part Oh
fine REGION through which it was to pass.
Two reports were madeleine TO the berlli
capitaIiSts by Herr Haas. Il Government d.
rector of the P!llssian railways; the other 10
the Union Bank of Vienna by Herr fol'Z.
In the report Of Herr Haas, which is now
published, the remote benefits which the
road will accomplish are acknowledged, bllt
he advises against the purchas" of the bonds
bv European capitalists. His objections are
Substantially "that, owing to the slar>eneSs
of the population and the slowneSS OF emit
grafton along the line OF the road for Il peflou
of years not definitely stated. the earnings OF
the road would not be sufficient to protect
the interest on the bonds"
Mr.. G. W. Cas-, president Of the North
crn Pacific road, in a letter to the editor OF
the New York Tribune, says: "ThcSe OBJ
iactions have been advanced TO every land
Grant road that has been built in this coun-
trv not only by foreigners, hut by our own
people. who might be supposed to know
better: and vet, in the face OF these fears
and apprchcnsion>, the business OF all these
roads is rapidly developing, the property
greatly enhanced in value and their interest
on TIER bonds protected in every case.
There i no good reason TO suppose that the
Northern Pacific is going to bean exception
to similar land-grant roads. On the con-
trarv, the Northern Pacific railroad has Tar
greater elements of undeveloped wealth ana
resources than the Illinois Central ROAD ha0
in the earlier stages of its existence"

The. NEWEST DyEL. IN FRASeE.-lParis
Letter in New York Times. IN duel has just
taken place in the eDyirons of Lllle between
NJ. George Brame, son. of the deputy OF that
name. and G. Gery-LegraAd, a member Of
the Counci,GeneraI. The cause was quar-
rel at the banquet. NJ. Gery-Legrand object
ing to q toast to Mcmahon because the name
of NJ. Theirs was not added, or something of
the kind, the idea being that NJ BEame did
not give N. Theirs credit for liberating
France while toasting McMahon The De
putty replied, in substance, that they could
toast NJ. Theirs as much as theS Liked, and
he would drink to it in honor of bis services;
but he did not see the. necessity OF mixing
that with toast to the Marshall Some hot
words followed. NJ Brame went home,
and was awaiting a challenge when word
came that his young. son George had
taken the quarrel upon himself. and had
received slight prick in tho arm VI. Brame,
the father, is IN experienced hand, and has
a wrist OF iron. He is regarded is Il Supc-
rior hand with sword or pistol. and hence
VI. GeTy-Legrand may consider himself
lucky that the lad George BrtliGc took the
duel out Of his fathers hands. This has
brought the. topic Of duei.ing again upon
| the tapiS, and one OF the Journals gives the
cdcis issued against il since the time OF
Charles X and Henri ". 1t has been re-
cognizcd that public opinion alone can put 4
stop TO duclling, and public opinion is COLI
trollcd by the press. Che question is TO de-
eide how direct insult shalt be punished.
M@r. Attic. who WAS killed upon the barri-
cadcs of Paris i'll lS4S, was iii enemy TO dll-
Cling, yet would never take amy steps
against it. One day tic jurisprudence
upon the point was discussed before him.
And YOU, Monsiguor," said the Bishop OF
EyrellX, if one were to slap your face what
would you do:" 81 know what ought to
do" replied the Archbishop, but cannot
tell you beforehand what should do The
! difficulty is to decide what ought to be done
in case one is not Il preIatc OF saint, Tor the
manners and customs Of France do not nd
nit of listicui>, or of le tore, after the Eng
lish fashion. When public opinion IS XeC
upon what ought to be done in case of insult
duels will cease, for they arc already bcccn
ing Il little ridiculous.

BEfsSoM IN RoME.-I have not told you
that The old opera MVoritc OF your city,
Brignoli, is singing at the summer open.air
theatre, the Roman Peiiteamo, which is
popular summer resort. Brignoh is judged
rather severely by the Roman critics; for the
people are quite exactiDg and quick-eared.
They say Brignoli has a fine voice, sonorous,
biea tinsbres !; but he has great need of study
and exercise: that he oDits here and there
difficult passages, which show his imperfec.
tions and inability. 1t sounds strangely to
us to hear BrisnoH handled so roughly. If
1t were frst-elass opcra-hoslse we might
Ialt it down to- hypercrticism, but to have
our pet tenor not up to mark in third or
fonrth-rate summer opera-hcuse is too bad.
These Italians are severe critics in opera
music because bhey know what they are
taHsing about and what they are listening to.
An actor might as well miss well-knoWn
passages from Hamlet and Macbeth on an
American stage as singer in Italy to cut
out difficulties in an opera.-hosae letter.

TIE CASE OF Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING
VIrqinian.] With respect to Mr.. Munsey it
is we'll known that for years past he has been
in feeble health. He was advised by phySl-
clans, it is said to use stimulants to support
sinking frame. He did so, and the rest is
known. He no more than thousands OF
other men among the best and nob'est of the
land could control an appetite that had once
gained the mastery. What warning to all
to be on their guard! But Mr.. Munsey is
entitled to a charitable judgment, for in our
opinion his mind has been enfeebled through
sympathy with Il long.diseascd ana greatly
impaired physical organism: lie is III no
sense the man he once was. Let pity for his
intirmity and deep regret at his fall be min
lied with our Judgment upon his conduct
and orr prayers for his reclamation, while
he that is without sin let him cast the first

DO CASAL.BoATs REQUIRE a UNITED STATES.
License - Baltimore American.] ---For the
last two or three years the Secretary Of the
Treasury his instructed collectors OF Gus
toms to enforce the law upon the owners OF
cana-boatS which requires all vessels to have
u United States license. The owners OF the
boats have resisted this on the ground that
cana-boats are not vessels within the mean
ing of the act They have appealed to the
courts, and it is alleged that in every in
stance the decision Of the United States dis
trict judges has been against the Secretary
and in favor of the boat-ownerS. Neverthe-
less, the Secretary continues to seize the
bouts for noncompliance with the law. Mr.
Howell, who is connected with the LehiSh
Coal and Navigation Company, has laid the
matter before President Grant, who, after
making notes of all the facts, promised to
look into the matter. The dihcuIty appears
to be that the United States district Judges
including Judge adwalader-construe the
law one way and the Secretary another way.
