The lecture Of Hon. W. W. Thomas, Speaker
Of the House of Representatives, at Wilson Hall
on Monday evening, was upon Norway" rather
than Sweden as announced, though the latter
country was alluded to as twin sister Of the for
mer, possessing similar peculiarities Of soil-or
rock, temperature, &c. An interesting sketch Of
travel, vivid word pictures of mountain and ocean
scenery-ftigid enough to compare with our own
Arctic winter-glowing descriptions Of the man
ners and customs of the people, interpreted with
spicy anecdotes, served to keep appreciative au-
dience interested and in good humor for an hour
and quarter, in spite Of the uncomfortable con-
fluent speaker, and will frequently indulge in
bursts Of eloquency and poetica rhetoric that can
not fail of appreciation. His opportunities for
gaining information on the subject of his lecture
were ample, and he seems to have seized upon
the most notable incidents of his tarry in the
" North country" to afford entertainment and in
struction, especially to New England audienc.

CHINA AND JAPAN.

San Francisco, February l6. The steamship
Alaska arrived this morning. She left Hong Kong

$50 passengers and 1873 tons of merchandise.
She brings the following news

chief engineer, who is censured for giving the or

the largest boat, in which he was the only Euro

declared to have been caused by spontaneous com
bustion Of coal. Capt. Warren has since visited
the locality of the disaster and discovered where
the remains Of the ship with the mails and the
specie lie.
A serious FIRE occurred in Canton, January Sd.
$50 houses were burned.
Hon. G.. F. Seward, United States Consul Gen.

The Chinese officials at Flu Chow still affect to
hold authority over Lew Chow notwithstanding
the remuneration by the central government Of
Peking. A messenger from Lew Chow to Flu
Chow has been compelled with the crew of his
ship to perform submissive ceremonies at the Gus

in, will certainly lead to complications between
China and Japan, the latter empire declares that
she will no more permit the Chinese to humiliate
its subjects than Formosan savages to slaughter
them with impunity.

Railroad Affairs.

Philadelphia, February l6. In his letter to the
President Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
Thomas Scott says:
"The arrangement made last has been repeated
ly violated by your officers within the past two
months. Their attempts in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, to take business un-
fairly and in direct violation Of your own personal
agreement have been so numerous IS to leave this
Company no other remedy than to take care Of it,
business and its roads in its own way, on fair
business basis, and to do what Is right and fair to
the public and to the roads running in connection
with it, you may rest assured
Scott concludes as follows:
$50 far as this Company is concerned, you may
rely upon it that we will protect the business of
Philadelphia and place Baltimore, New York and
other points accessible by our lines on an equta-
BILE basis"
He claims that the tariff of rates over his line
is much below those Of other roads, and says:
1.-The lines from Washington and Baltimore, to
and from New York. over our roads shall be made
quite as perfect for the convenience of the public,
from this date, as they have ever been at any
time in the past. There shall be no Inconvenience
whatever to the public by reason Of your effort to
destroy the railway property Of any other parties
can scarcely believe that the public will object
to avoiding the delays of street hauling through
Baltimore and not avail Themselves of the better
facilities that we propose they shall enjoy hereaf
ter. The Northern Central Railroad Co. will,
during the present year. perfect its terminal faci
tiles ct Baltimore 60 IS to place that city ON full
equality with others on the seaboard, and it will
be the duty and interest of the Company whose
lines terminate there to give to Baltimore . line
in every respect equal both as to rules and facil-
ties to any that the Baltimore & Ohio may be
able to offer.
Fire and Loss Of Life.

There was no mean display OF decorations in the
jewelry lne-there was the glittering of gems,
from the beautiful rubic t. the flashing, brilliant
diamond. Indeed, so rich were the costumes and
varied the styles, that to attempt description of
one, would give NO idea of the general character
Of the whole, and so we leave the "fllings in" to
the lively maginations Of those of our readers who
have ever mingled in such gay scenes. The skill
of the average mantua maker must have been COM
petely exhausted in the preparation of the elegant
costumes. The gentlemen were no less careful
about their personal appearance, having donned
their SUNDAY close" with the inevitable white
vest the circulating kids, the jrrepressible neck
tie. and the ornamental button. hole bouquet.
Those who did not care to dance, or who, weari
ed with the "mazes,' retired from the floor to
breathe awhile, fled through the corridors and
hall, enjoying themselves in the most lively con.
versation. c, 4ly those grave legislators had
lain aside the cares and responsibilities of State,
for the time being.
Supper was served in Major Bakers best style,
he and his entire force being on the alert to ex
tend every possible courtesy. The reception and
ball was continued to late, or rather early hour
this morning, and when an adjournment was
reached, the legislators counted it the best 'ses

The Legislative Reception.


The legislative reception at the Augusta House,
last evening, was brilliant affair in every respect
The rigors of the weather had subsidized, and the
evening was a charming one, enabling large COM
pany to accept the invitation to be present the
occasion. Good delegations were present from
Portland, Bangor, Lewiston and elsewhere, among
them many persons Of note.
The hall of the house was decorated with flags
and evergreen; the reception room, the ladi es
parlor, was trimmed with wreaths and festoons,
the rear wall bearing the motto in green, "Wel-
come to our Guests" Flags were loeped, form
ing an arch, at the northern entrance.
Guests began to arrive at o'clock, and were re-
ceived by Governor and Mrs. Dingley and Gen.
and Mrs. Murray. Dancing commenced in the
large dining hall, at about nine o'clock Chambers
superb Band of five pieces furnishing the music.
These artists are too well known to need praise at
this time. We should judge that between three
and four hundred persons were present, and a
hundred couples participated in the exhilerating
measures Of the dance. The toilets of the ladies
were exceedingly rich and tasteful the guests from
abroad vieing with the ladies of our own city in
the richness of the display. There were rich silks
of various styles, combining all the delicate tints
of evening wear In the decoration of the hair, it
appeared as though the ladies had tried to per-
suade themselves that they were not living In the
