We were shown last night by Mr.. Geo.
Barth, of Company +, First Regiment
louisiana Volunteers Of the Army oi
Northern Virginia, a relic from in front
Of the breastworks at Petersburg, and a
very great curiosity. 1t was nothing
more nor less than two minnie balls
which had met each other point blank
as they sped on their death dealing
mission and were mashed fiat and weld
ed together, the hollow base Of each
ball being alone intact, one on either
side and in the centre OF the leaden disc
formed by the two bullets which spreads
out over diameter of about one and a
half inch. 1t Is certainly a great
curiosity and valuable relic, and as
such is most highly priced by its owner
Mr.. Barth, to whom 1t was given by Mr.
J. Lauff, who picked 1t up in front ol
the breastworks at Petersburg.

II Is hard to express our delight and
qualification on beholding, despite the
fearful weather last evening, such q
large concourse Of people assembled to
enjoy the mask ball, given by the Con-
tinental Benevolent Association, at st.
Patrick's Hall. The beautiful ladies
and gallant cavaliers, the rich music Of
a most harmonious band, the merry
laughter OF all while gracefully indulg-
Ing In the various dances, served to
form picture OF splendor and beauty
which is very seldom seen. The pro-
grammes were the most exquisitely
tasteful that we have ever seen, on the
outside being representation ofa bunch
OF howers, which, upon being skilfully
touched, displayed in scarlet letters the
charming and hopeful words, Peace, 2
Success" Happiness" and "Pros-
perity." The Continental Benevolent
Association may we'll pride themselves
upon having given one of the most en-
ioyable entertainments Of the season.

protection. Only one member declared
himself in favor Of discriminating, re-
taliating tariff against the United States
as advocated by the Dominion Board OF
Trade, to prevent Canada from being a
slaughter market, and he did not ven
ture to press his views on the House.
The tariff will have to be raised to pro-
vide revenue, there being deficit in
prospect; but it is almost certain, from
the general feeling in the House, that
the duties will be less, as heretofore, to
provide revenue, and not to give manu-
facturers anything more than incidental
protection.

MONTREAL, Can, Feb. 22-In q casual
conservation at the Central Police Sta.
ton yesterday morning, Major Voyer
took up a loaded revolver, and in ex-
planning to Captain Lane how New
York policeman shot himself, placed
the muzzle at his side, below the heart.
He had no sooner done this than the
revolver went off, the ball penetrating
through his bowels and coming out be-
low the right lung. He fingered until
3:15 p. m, when he expired. Major
Voyer was in the thirty-fourth year of
his age.

AN OLD GAME.

From the skill and dexterity with
which the L.tetitgencer continues to play
bluff on the S3S, 900 mstter, we begin to
suspect that the papers with which that
little game was originally played were
manufactured in that Office. Be that as
it may, It's article Of yesterday looks very
much like back down from Its former
position, and In effect, Acknowledges that
there might be gap somewhere, but
thinks that no one ought to be blamed for
it. Mr.. BILL, who is thoroughly COM
petent to discharge the duty we have SO
lected him for, seems to be the object OF
the Mtelligemcer's attack. When this
matter WAS discussed in this
paper under its previous manager,
Mr. HILDgETH was granted the privi-
lege OF making n. explanation In his
own behalf through the columns OF the
REGISTER. 10 this article MIR. BILL re.

signature Of II, showing conclusively
from the figures taken from the Audi
tors book that there was the sum OF
S3S, 900 "unaccounted for" and to this
no reply has ever been made. We are
authorized by Mr.. BILL to say that he
has never backed down from this posi-
tion, and has nothing to retract as he is
