which we make. They possess a highly evamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructibie, snd will retain their freshness and beauty for any leygth of time, If they | becoine soiled they can ea-tly be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuadle quality, com bined with their remerkable elegance, make “them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent thei ever becoming 8o common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can ‘have one or all of their Photos finished ip this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain d elsewhere.

Queen Isibella.
Queen Isabella is just at this moment in asad predicament. Espousing too entirely the cause of Don Ramero Puenta, her very private secretary, has brought down upon proc f of the anger of her son. He has eut off her supplies. She was paid annually 75,000 franes. She will no longer receive a sou, and this may have the
the private secretary. At any rate it will place her ex-Majesty in unpleasant circum- stances. She has just exposed at the Salle des Ventes a very fine pearl necklace, but the price asked (450,000 franes) frightened off the buyers. Queen Isabella songht ont Don Carlos. This was an ill-advised action, and cost the parties dearly. One lost a very liberal annuity, the other was sent out of France. The Legitimists’ journals are aghast at this summary treatment of royal blood.

Neal Dow.
The Boston Post, commenting on Neal
Dow’s recent appearance before the Joint
Special Committee on the Liquor Law of the Massachusetts Lagislature, says :—
“It is to be hoped that the Joint Special Committee on the Liquor Law will consider well the advice of Gen. Neal Dow, and give us this year a prohibitory law that means something. Make liquor selling, as Gen. Dow urges, a capital offence, We have tried the more l.nient method, and it has been a failure. Twenpy years of punish- men’ by fins and imp-isonment only in- creased the trafiic and bred drankards. Now let us make it a hanging matter, since it is plain that nothing short of that effects ranything. Besides, it would be a welcome novelty. The public is weary of the unin- teresting spectacle of juries who will not convict and of a State Police subsisting on blackmail, and would hail with delight the more exciting experience of the scaffold, the black cap, the drop, as a substitute. Lhe probability that the whole population ist be hanged before the experiment ; rove successful should not operate preju- dicially in this matter.”
————~— 608 a -- Tearless Madness.
One of the most curious facts connected with madness in the utter absence of tears anidst the insane, observes the Britis Med- ical Journal. Whatever the form of mad- ness, tears are conspicuous by their absence, a3 mueh in the depression of melancholia, o: the excitement of mania, as in the utter w:athy of dementia. If a patient in a luna- us asylum be discovered in tears, it will be ‘ound that it is either a patient commencing to recover, or an emotional outbreak in an epileptic, who is searcely truly insane; while actually insane patients appear to have lost the power of weeping; it is only re- curning reason which can once more un- .oose the fountains of their tears. Even when ’a lunatic’ is telling one in fervid language how she has been deprived of her children, or the outrages that have been perpetrated on herself, her eye is never even moist. The ready gush of tears which ac- companie3 the plaint of the sane woman contrasts with the dry-eyed appeal of the lunatic. It would, indeed, seem that tears vive relief to feelings which when pent up load to madness. It is one of the privileges if reason to be able to weep. Amidst all the misery of the insin>, they can find no relief in tears. Poet8;time out of mind, have noted the absence of tears when the accession of grief is very great. The excess of Donna Julia’s grief is finely depicted when she says, ‘‘Mine eyeballs barn and throb, but have no tears.”

The Baptists in Canada.
The publication of what are termed Year Books by the Baptists of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces give us some idea of the strength of this denomination in the Dominion. In Manitoba and British Columbia the Baptists appear to be few in number; but -in the Western Provinces they are not only strong but evidently in- creasing in strength and influence.
In Ontario and Quebec there are 390 churches, with a membership of 26,772; in the Maritime Provinces there are 341 churches and 36,601 members ; being a total of 744 churches and 63,353 members. ‘It is said that in the Eastern Provinces the num- ver of Baptists has doubled in twenty years; in Ontario and Quebec the denomination has almdst trebled its strength in the same time.
The Baptists take considerable interest in mission work... The churches in the East have hitherto paid more attention to foreign missions than to home missions. The On- tario Baptists, on the other hand, have always looked after the home work ; and it is not a great many years since it first be- gan to attend to the wants of the heathen in distant lands. At present, however; foreign missions are prosectited with con- siderable enthusiasm by the Baptists all over the Dominion, who, for. this purpose, are, we believe, united irrespective of pro- vinces, and support a number of mission- aries in Inda
Denominational education is not over- looked. Acadia College in Nova Scotia lias an established reputation, while the Institute at Weodstock is rapidly advancing towards the front rank of colleges. Acacia has an endowment of $80,000 which they are trying to increase by the addition of $100,000 more. An effort is also to be
mide to endow the Woodstock School.

Bari Dufferin and Canada.
| The speeches which Earl Dufferin deliver- ed in Manitoba and the North West have been reprinted in England, apparently for the purpose of influencing certain classes of people in the direction of founding new homes in that distant region. The editor Says :—
‘* But these utterances were all surpassed bv Lord Dafferin in taking leave of Mani- toba, ina speech made at a farewell ban- quet at Winnipeg. Everybody knows that Lord Dufferin is one of the mest classic and ornate orators of this day, and that he had a power of describing natural objects and natural wonders, which soars to the highest regions of oratorical genius. No wonder that the Canadian pioneers who listened te these grand tones and magnificent periods were quite wild with excitement. The re- ports in the Canadian papers speak at al- most every sentences of tremendous cheer- ing. The Canadians were listening to their own feelings with regard to the beautiful region which they mbhabit, put into lan- guage of unrivalled purity and beauty. A romances has passed into the daily life of every one of them. They were being nerved for further effort and encouraging in their great and giorieus mission of relieving the misery and poverty of Europe, by pouring into the lap of their original mother, the rich abundance of the West. Such a speech has a distinctly elevating and enobling ef- fect upon those who heard it, and upon those who have readit. To the teeming millions of the Old World looking for ca- reers for their sons or for themselves, such a speech must operate almost with the in- spiration of revelation. It opens up a new prospect. It speaks of land almost unknown a year or two ago, but which is found to use a metaphor of the Scriptures, to be flowing with milk and honey. In the lonely cabin of the Irish peasant. the over-crowded cot- tage of the Knglish laborer, in the mecha- nic’s work-room, such words must etter as words of lifeand of hope. To the farmer struggling against high rents and unprofit- able harvests, su¢éh a speech opens up quite a new vista of the future. Extracts given them but an inadequate idea of this magni- ticent, but evidently unpremediated, ora- tion, for wl ich Canada owes an everlasting debt of gratitude of the man of genius who delivered it.
ee Oi. « The Trouble with Beecher.
Commenting ona recent sermon deliv- ered by the Rev. H. W. Beecher, the New York Sun says :—
it seems that on Sunday Mr. Beecher was affected to tears by the thought of the terrible moral condition of mankind. ‘I can’t think of these things,” he remarked, wiping lis eyes.
Yet, after all, men are just about as good as it would be reasonable to expect them to be. The percentage of criminals in society is really very small, and if the newspapers didu’t have to publish the records, of the eriminal courts, we should know little about flagrant offences against the moral code. The mass of people behave themselves prop- erly enough, bearing with much fortitude those trials which must inevitably attend our earthly lot.
But if Beecher looked at himself he might reasonably feel despondent for mankind. He is the son of a minister who in his day kindled the flames of some of the greatest religious revivals we have experi- enced in this country, and his sister, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, wrote a novel which had « very important influence in relieving the South of the incubus of slavery, He wa; brought up amid Puritanic surround- ings, and should have inherited a very sen- sitive conscience ; but a persistent course of hypocrisy and duplicity destroys the most finely organized moral. nature, and sends a man capable of doing the best things straight to the devil.
We are not surprised, therefore, that Beecher’s rhetorical picture of the possibil- ities of moral degradation in man wrung
rom him eye tears, which are easily shed. He is himself an appalling example of the ruin which is sure to attend a hypocrite.
He is avery hardy man else he could never have perjured himself with so much nonchalance as he did at the scandal trial, and for days together, at the same’ time, keeping up his preaching in Plymouth Church. It must have been a severe strain on him, and the fact that he was able to bear it showed him to bea man of really extraordinary endurance.
Mr. Beecher has doubts about the exist- ence of hell; but he must have found by this time that the path of truth and upright- ness, though it may be narrow, is a pleas- anter one to tread than that of duplicity and hypocrisy.

Among the floral decorations at a recent bethrodal party in. New York was a magni- ficen ship, whose yards were of pure white carnations, the sides of lilies of the valley and rare orchids, while the decks were freighted heavily with a variety of superb rosebuds and violets.
The Snez Canal is doing an increasingly profitable business. The tolls received in 1875 amounted to $5,777,260 ; in 1876, $,- 994,999 ; in 1877, $6,552,279. In 1877 1,663 passed through the canal, making an average in tolls of $3,946 for each vessel.
An invalid Frenchman who hired a horse everyevening from a livery stable keeper particularly desired the hostler to see that the horse had nothing to eat for dinner, **Because,” he remarked, ‘‘Monsieu le doc- teur he say I mus’ take’ ze gentle exercise on ze empty stomach.
