OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make PoorograPus of a Slyie and Qualily that has never been before alfempled in this City.

We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL

he most beantiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popular elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautitul

Giace Pictures —

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, bs they will not lose any of their beauty by aeing wet. ‘This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this ‘style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere. We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &c Our pictures of children are suflicient evidence ef our success in this difficult neh of our art. Yipes ¥ NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable re tion for them | selves throughout the Lower Provinces. Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit eariy, as the number of our customers | ynakes some delay in the delivery of the | Photos unavoidable.

The Unspeakable Turk,

| ‘To the very last the Turk has shown him- | self the very savage he is. The correspond- ent of the London Daily News gives the fol- lowing account of the atrocities perpetrated in a Greek town by the irregulars of the army of Mehemet Ali when he was retreating from Adrianople :-—

‘On the 23rd of January the commander- in-chief, Mehemet Ali Pasha, coming from the localities north of Adrianople, passed through Viza at the head of an army of 34,000, and stayed one night in town. The inhabitants spared no pains or money in providing for the comfort of the General and his army. Before taking his departure on the following day the Pasha gave orders to the civil Governor of the town to remain constantly there, protecting the life, honor, and property of the population, and not leave the place unless such circuim- | stances should arise as would render it impos- | sible for him to stay. The inhabitants, labor-

ing under great agitation, owing to certain ru- | mors Which had reached them of attacks and | raids committed elsewhere by Circassians, warmly begged of the Pasha to leave in the town a small detachment of his forces to guard the country, and in case of need be there to repulse a possible attack on the part of ma

rauders. ‘I'lfe Pasha, however, refused this request, on the ground that any such detach. ment left behind might ultimately have its line of retreat cnt off, adding that there were other detachments coming after him which ‘had orders to halt wherever their presence might be required, and to which he re- quested the mbabitants to show the same

that they had shown to him.

army, and prepare the pro- visions they would necessarily require The same things were repeated to them by the officers who passed through on the following day. ‘The inhabitants, exclusively Greeks, immediately set to work and prepared such quantities of bread and provisions as would have sufficed for the requirements of double the number of forces expected, and having got everything for their reception ready, waited for their coming, like hospitable inkeepers, at the very doors of their houses. In the midst of the refugees following in the wake of Mehe- met Ali Pasha, and who sinee the day before had been constantly passing through the town, there suddenly appeared, coming toward Viza, a large body of armed men, consisting en- tirely of Bashi Bazouks, Zeibecs, and Cireas- sians. Not the slightest suspicion of them entered into the minds of the population. On the contrary, some of the townspeople, in obedience tothe orders received from the commander-in chief, and contiding in the assur- ance given by him and his officers, went fear- lessly forward to meet the new comers, and offer the provisions they had prepared.” It is at this point that the curtain is drawn up, and a sight is presented to the world so ghastly that the understanding fails to comprehend it* and before which imagination itself becomes distracted with horror and wonder. No soon er were they in the town than these savage hoards of marauders, without a single word of explanation or warning, fell like hungry wolves upon the unprepared and eful inhabitants, seized almost all of them, and after plunder- ing them of what they happened to have about their persons, obliged them, by pointing their guns at their heads, to say whether and where they had any money hidden. There is no torture which they did not imvent

in order to extract from the mouths of their vietims such a confession, Massacres,” murders, tortures, mutilation,

rapine, pillage, fire, such was their infernal programme. Priests were seized, insulted, and ultimately tied on piles of wood and burned alive. Many a parent would have preferred, were the option left te him, to put his own eyes out, like (idipus, rather than see his daughters, innocent young girls, sacrificed before his very sight, at the alter of dis- honour, and trodden under the heels of shame, he being expressly made to stand by and wit. ness, with tied hands and_ feet, the dreadful sight, God only knows with what unspeakable agony. : The daughters of the greater number of families, as also many mar- ried women upon whom the savages had sati- ated their most brutal passions, have been car- ried off, aud nothing has been ascertained as yet as to their fate. Until late at night the firing of musketry continued with unbated fury, and the number of corpses lying about in the streets and within the houses increased every moment, In the meantime the pillage of houses and shops went on most savagely. About the following, however, most horrible abominable, and unheard-of crime, in itself a Colossus of savageness, a whole abyss of atro- city, | have most authentic and reliable infor- mation, though, for the sake of humanity, | should have been glad were it otherwise. It appears that the inhabitants of the village of St. George, eight hundred souls in all, Greeks entirely, flying before the Circassians, who had aitacked and destroyed their village, managed to hide themselves in a large cave near Kara Dere. The Circasslans, ever thirsting for Christian blood, were scourging the country in search of victims, and finally fell upon and discovered the plaze of refuge of these unfortu- nate people, and immediate y tried to effect an entrance to the cave. In this, however, they were baffled, the entrance to the being well guarded and bravely defended by the reiugees. This show of resistance of the ,opi-, and the fact, perhaps, that three of ieir number were mortally wounded hy the shots fired from within, seemed to exasperate them the more, and after two or three further attempts to efiect an entrance, but without snecess, they determined by any possible means to put immediately to death those within. ‘They accordingly set to their infernal work, and by means of crowbars they ultimately suc ceeded in opening a hole on the roof of the cave, through which, without loss of time, they roéeeded to pour a large quantity of brim- stone and asphalte, to which they set fire by firing their guns through the hole. As a con- sequence, the inside of the cave was ima tow minutes filled with smoke so dense that the poor people drapped down one by one, dying of seiiichticas, * * and the souls of eight hundred martyrs fled almost simultaneously | toward the foot of the throne of their Creator,

the Almighty. Out of eight hundred who en- gered the cave only eighteen were saved, al- |most by a miracle, having on first entering the cave taken their stand at the furthest end of it, and having, after the Circassians had taken themselves off, exulting, no doubt, in their abominal work, come out of that immense cave by dragging themselves over the dead bodies of their fellow-villagers of yesterday. ~a>- ——~—

Our Washington Letter.

Wasuineton, D. C., March 19,-1878.

An important matter appertaining to the Post Office Department was settled last week

-the Spring Mail lettings. This consisted in awarding the mail routes in nine States and all the Territories, accomplished two weeks earlier than usual this year. The number of routes exceeds 1,806, and 25,500 proposals for them were entered and considered.

General O. O. Howard is here, having been summoned all the way from the Pacific Coast to be investigated, and having last week gained a complete victory in the Freedmen’s Bureau case, that has been so long pending agamst

him. The General looks like ajweary, saddened man. Bowed and gray and bronzed, frem

harshness of exposure and the persecutions of his fellow-men, itis no wonder that his ap- pearance and expression are those of sadness. 1 heard him speak last week at Howard Uni

versity to the colored students there, and the scene was most pathetic. When he came upon the platform the applause that sreeted him was tremendous and prolonged. ‘But he responded with neither smile nor bow, and soon | saw that he was too much moved to speak. When he could master his voice he said the scene was fullof the pathos of sad remembrances to him, taking him back in spir- it through the trials and hardships and suffer- ing of the last decade. Fred Douglass spoke a few minutes after General Howard, beginning with : ‘‘Brothers, we ought to love General iloward.”” They ought. The very best of his life he has given to the colored man’s cause.

It is strange that aman and so christian aman should have such enemies as he has. The bitterest of these are general Belknap and H. C. Boynton. The animosity of the former dates back to army jealousies, while that of the latter was born in the church—unhappily the hot-bed of so many differences’ General Boynton’s father was pastor of the Congrega- tional Church here, which General Howard was instrumental in founding; and Boynton, the pastor, and General Howard disagreeing on the negro question, General Boynton—the son—took it up and began a presecution of General Howard that has never ceased.

Washington is enjoying a novelty—spring weather. Usnally all the spring we know is a week or two of dull rainy weather, cold and raw, from which we are precipitated into mid- }summer heat. But the last month has been inmistakable, balmy spring, and to-day birds are singing, buds are basting, and the world hereabouts is happy and glad. Crocuses, hyacinths and dandelions are blossoming in gardens and lawns, while the woods outside the city are full of spring flowers. Everybod who goes to market comes away with a bun of trailing ailintus. ‘‘Darlings of the Forest” and all earth’s indoors end out, seems in tune with the green things growing.

““Whether we look, or whether we lisien,

We hear life’s murmur, or see it glisten ;

Every clod feels a stir of might,

An instinet within it that reaches and towers,

And, grasping blindly above it for light,

Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers ;

The flush of life may well be seen

Thrilling back over hills and valleys. ~ ‘ * a %

Now the heart isso full that a drop overfitls it,

We are happy now because God so will it ;

No matter how barren the past may have been,

"Tis enough for ns now that the leaves are

green.

And they «7¢ green, The tender new leaves of the box and willow have expanded most ; but lilacs and maples and other park shrub bery are fast losing their brown winter look. Many are taking advantage of the bright days for a trip down the Potomac to Mount Vernon; and there the season appeared even more ad vanced than here. It may be because of so many evergreens about the lawn and garden, holly, magnolia, &e. The magnolia’s are budded for blossoming there, and so are the roses and other shrubs.

Mr. GLApstone is thus described by a per- son who attended a recent debate in Parlia- ment ;--‘* The audience saw before them a slender man, of medinm height, in age close upon the sixties. His head is large, well-bal- anced on his shoulders, with thin, gray hair, and bald in the regions of intellectuality. His complexion is almost ashen in hue, his face is ploughed with deep lines as if furrowed by thought, his expression is benignant and toned with a touch of sadness. His nose is promi- nent, giving a massive strength to the face; his eyes are brown, piercing, full of fire, which is somewhat hidden by the partly-closed lids: and which has the effect of making him seem as if he wished to reveal nothing, while com- prehending, seeing everythiag. As his speeeh

proceeded, his veice, without losing its sweet- ness, became more penetrating, full, resonant. His words seem impassioned, and this seeming ‘is increased, by way of contrast, by the repose
