At the same time there is something to he said on the other side. It is not only self-â€" evident; that the German authorities have a perfect right to impose such res gulations as they please upon travellers but it is also unhappily true that many Americans, particularly naturalized Americans, make themselves unneces~ sarily obnoxious by the ill-temper, the impatience and rudeness which they show under such restrictions. It is of course, annoying enough to be stopped and catechised en roulclby illiterate and stupid policemen ; but such otlicmls are in general only carrying out their lit- eral instructions, and nothing is gained by storming about, throwing Magna Charts into their eyes, and shouting ‘English oaths in a loud voice down their throats. Such demonstrations but surprise and irritate the most inno- ccut oflicial, and make him instead of a solicitous friend a troublesome enemy It would, undoubtedly be better for Germany if “England and ,‘America could make her laws for her, but since , Germanyliersglf .ie .motmxppereduor A part of the Berlin Press is much ofl'ended at what it calls the false or exaggerated reports that are spread p abroad about the vexations and ditli- culties of travelling in Germany. 1 have not seen many of the reports in "' question 5 but. those which I have seen 18 were not exaggerated. In regard to r, Berlin in particular, my advise to fern 1_ signers would certainly be to stay 9 aWay, unless they have urgent business ’ or have provided themselves with n abundant papers, and are not ruffled by daily, not to say hourly,police visits N o appearance of respectability, no probability of good character and law- ful business take the place of the most formal and exact papers 08 identities» tion and legitimation when travellers» have to deal with the police under the new system. The rigor even extends to the PrOVinces, although the oblige» tion of passports had not been formally introduced except in Berlin ; and only about a week ago a Swedish gentleman of faultless demeanor and excellent an- tecedents had 'to send to the Embassy here in great haste to get a passport and escape the threatened expulsion. If this sort of thing is possible in the interior, what must be the severity of the ofï¬cials here at Berlin ! A capital case has come to my knowledge f and as it illustrates not only the petty rigor but also the amazing stupidity of some of the under oliicials, it deserves to pen recorded. An elderly lady, the widow of one of the ï¬nest scholars in America is living here with her son, Who is pur- suing his studies at the University,l and learning authorized socialism of Profl'essor \Vagner. As she came to Berlin before the reintroduction of the passport system, she is legally and strictly not affected by it. NeVerthe~ less the police have utterly ignored that fact, and have pursued the poor woman as remorselessly as if they expected in her the possibility of a Charlotte Cor-a day or a. Lucretia Borgia. One ser~ geant of Police has made himself par~ ticuhuly active in probing the dark secrets of the lady's past career; but his learning and intelligence being in» terior to his zeal, he one day became the hero of the following incident: The son of the lady possesses a pasSport _which, however, as a student, he is obliged to deposit with the authorities of the University,receiving in exchange la student’s card, as it is called ; this he one day showcd- to the sergeant, who had been again urging upon the mother the expediency of her expend†ing the required amount {or a passport, if she wished to enjoy the ‘advantage of living in Berlin. The card, as a scholastic document, was naturally in q Latin, and certified that the bearer, Mr. So-and-so, was a student in the . Universitas Barolinensz's. The grave I oflicial scrutinized the instrument with a puzzled and suspicions look. “What does that mean ’1" said he, pointing to the above words. The young American explained that they were L-ttiu for “ erlin University.†“ \Vhat, that LI“ (From our own Correspondent.) BERLIN, Dec. 313i, 1878.

At nine r o’clock we arrived at Montreal. Hav- ing several hours to wait, .I rambled through the city where I found every- body busy preparing for the reception of the Marquis oi‘Lorne and H. R. H. the Princess Louise. At the station I made the acquaintance of a young man named \Villiam Green, who was going to Lonion on the same ship as myself. “70 arrived at Point Levi at eight in the morning, where we changed to the Intercoloniul. On our arriVal at River du Loup we met the Royal train, when the Mayor presented an address to the new GovernowGeneral, both the Mar- quis and the Princess standing on the platform amidst hundreds of people. After the Marquis made his reply they proceeded to the Royal ear umidstcheers for the Queen, the GoVernor‘Genei-al, and the Princess. On their depaitnre all the people sang “ God Save the Queen." \Ve left River du Loupim- mediately after the Royal train and ar- rived at Monetou at five o’clock in the morning, where we had refreshments, for which we paid a good price, such as [5 cents for a cup of coliee and 10 cts. for a ssndwich,-but even at that price they are thankfully received, having had nothing to eat for 18 hours. Here we had to change cars again. The scen~ ery along the IntercolOnial Route is very picturesque. As we pass down through the valley, we bet) the rivers with their peculiar bends. and the little farm lIOUSCS perched on the sides of the mountains, and cattle and sheep grazing on the hills. Nom Scotia is a magniï¬- cent country. \Ve are now 60 miles ‘ from Halifax at a. town called Truro. 1 On passing the station I noticed a man ' with bagpipes playing “ The Campbells ' are coming.†I heard he was to play ‘ at the station on the arrival of the Man I l ( quis of Lorne, but the poor man didnot get there in time, so he contented him- self with playing as we passed. After traveling for some time through cuts in a the hills, which are arched over with 0 lumber to keep the snow from blocking “ up the road, we arrived at Halifax. V Halifax is a fine city, with a population 0 numbering 35,000, and when we arriv- ed was decked out in holiday attire. It resembles the town of Portsmouth very much, only on a smaller scale, with its men of war and shipping. We tack a walk up to the citidal, and had a splendid view of the city, the harbor and the Town of Dartmouth, which is on the other side of the harbor. There appears to be a great deal of business alone, how. .The people â€are ,ve'ry mph v v.

We came on deck Thursday morning with cheer- ful hearts ; the wind had changed a lit- tle and the water was much calmer. All that were able came on the upper deck and stayed the most of the day. The sea calmed down and the moon shone out very bright. There being some good singers on board we held a concert at night. * " On Monday morning we arrived 03' the north coast of Ireland, and as the sun was rising the scenery looked grand. It is very rugged and mountainous, the high peaks rising one above the other are covered with snow, while the valleys are all green, with little white'cottages here and there all along the clifts. We fol- lowed the shore till we arrived at Mo- ville, which is quite a. town, but built round a hill, so that we could only see part of it. After landing the mails and passengers we proceeded on to Liv- erpool. \Ve passed the Isle of Man at 10 o’clock at night, but it being full moon we had a good sight of it. \Vc came to anchor 16 miles from Liver-o pool till morning, as the water was low. At 8 o’clock the weather became very ‘ foggy, but we Weighed anchor and steamed to within 4 miles of the land- ing stage, where we were met by the Company’s tender, which landed us. After passing the customs we promeded to the station and took the express for London. After ï¬ve hours railroading we arl ived at Enston Station, 205 mil as from Liverpool, where I parted with my friend Mr. Green.
