OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of drst-class work, and are prepared to make PHorocrapus ofa Slyle and Qualily thal has never been before allempled 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 beatiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popuiar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

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

Glace 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, 1s they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuadle 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 cav 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 Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult ch of our art. eo ¥ NLARGEMENTS, -finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyor, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces. Parties intending to have Photographs made wil! find it to their advantage to sit early, asthe number of our cu;tomers makes ‘same delay in the delivery of the Photos’ unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment, Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case We ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne public that they will fiad our eharges very moderate.

A Bit to assimilate the laws respecting the rates of interest in the various Provinces has been laid before the Dominion Parlia- ment. It provides that ‘‘ The rate of eight vercentum perannum shall be,for the whole minion of Canada, the legal rate of inter- est,” and that ‘‘any rate of interest not ex- ceeding eight per centum may be paid in advance or otherwise.” The Bill will not likely pass. beesudetcatilarbiiianitin

Military Appointments.

No two military appointments could give more satisfaction in England than that of Lord Napier, of Magdala, as commander- in-chief of any expedition to be sent out in case of war, and Sir Garnet Wolseley as chief of staff. Both men have had con- siderable military experience. ‘The former was born in Ceylon in 1810, served with distinction as brigade-major in the Sutley campaign of 1845-6, and in 1849 was made heutenant-colonel for meritorious conduct at Guzerat. During the whole of the Sepoy mutiny he was in active service, and again distinguished himself in the engineering operations which he conducted‘ against Lucknow, aid subsequently as_brigade- commander at the siege of Gwalior and the battle of Pouree. In 1860 he teok part in the Anglo-French expedition against China with the local rank of major general, and here again achieved special distinction in the operations preceeding the capture of Peking. He became colonel of the Royal Engineers in 1862, and from the year pre- vious until 1865, when he was appointed commander of the Bombay army with the local rank of general, was a member of the coincil of the Governor- General of India. He was promoted to the full rank of lieutenant-general in 1867, and given command of the expedition to Abyssinia for the release of the British prisoners held by King Theodore at Mag- dala. Ina brief and brilliant campaign, one of the greatest engineering achieve- ments on record, he captured Magdala, and returned to the seaboard without the loss of a single man. In 1870 he was appointed commander-in-chief of the forces in India, with the local rank of general, For his brilliant achievements he has thrice received the thanks of Parliament. Sir Garnet Wolseley was born in County Dublin, Ire- land, in 1832, and served in burmah, in the Crimea, in India during the Sepoy mutiny of 1857-58, and in China in 1860, In 1867 he was sent to this country, where he re- mained for several years. In 1874 he ended the Ashantee war as chief com- mander. - His recent statement in the Nineteenth Century of England’s condition for war is very reassuring to Englishmen at this time, more especially as the estimates are said to be under rather than above the real strength From the appointments above referred to, the strenuous efforts to make her armament as perfect as possible, and by the tone of the Government papers, it is evident that Engl ni is determined to fight Russia rather than that peace should be made on the terms published. From Russian sources it leaks out that the terms as published in England are not the ones to be decided upon. in the meantime nothing detinite is known; all attention is devoted to the preparations being made. ll lia Ein

Cassidy, the colored man, charged with indecent behaviour to a little girl in Hali- fax, has been convicted and fined $40, or 90 days. Charges of similar conduct to two other children will be brought against him, On his person, when arrested, were found a number of cards bearing the following : — ‘** Fair lady, may I have the pleasure of ac- companying you to your place of residence / If not, may I have the extreme felicity of sitting on the fence and seeing you go by ?”

of the Bank, handcuffed, gagged, and with 4 rope around his neck. He was insensible, and remained so until half-past five o’clock next morning, when he died from the ef- fects of several wounds on his head. His murderers evidently were incited to the crime because he would not open the safe at heir command. The scoundrels secured less than $1000 by their foul deed. Up to Saturday evening noclue to the murderers had been obtained.

Molloy is charged with having wilfully lost the vessel for the purpose of defrauding the insurers and with having sold the hull and appropri- ated the money.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT

(From gur Special Parliamentary Corres- pondent. ) Fes, 28, 1878. The most important measures of the Gov- ernment have not yet been discussed. Nothing has been done with the Bill to enable the Postmaster General to open other people's letters at his own discretion or with the still more wonderful — Bill to prevent hog reeves and other local officials or broken-down Dominion _ officials, who have been superannuated because unfit for service, from becoming members of Parlia- inent—and so a source of danger to the State. The Premier has asked for an ad- ditional ‘Government Day”’—in order, I presume, that these great measures may be ‘‘duly and deliberately considered.”’ Meantime the Honse is employed in dis- cussing the route for the Canada Pacific Railway, the proper mode of letting public contracts, and such dull work. We may well afford a few moment’s relaxation from the severe mental toil of listening to what the “honorable members” say upon suéh dry subjects, to “‘look about us.” The “House” is bright with the light of a hundred jets of flame; and the gorgeous hues of its stained, but not storied, windows have faded. Its spacious galleries, streteh+ ing on every side, are not “thronged with spectators.”” A few hundred persons ‘enly sit listening, or gazing vacantly into space, wishing ‘‘the fun would begin,” or chatter- ing, may be, about the Governor General’s grand ball, or last night’s lecture on the ‘‘coming woman,” fer there are Jadiés in the gallery. Du you see that dark, fine- looking lady, dressed in simple black and white, in the front seat of the Speaker's Gallery opposite ? That is Lady McDonald. Sheis a great politician-almost as great in her own sphere as her husband isin his. Ah, the honorable gentleman addressing the House has just mentioned her husband’s name— and she is, all at once, deep in conversation with her companion! That lady in amber- colored silk and white gloves is Miss Mce- Kenzie—evidently a strong-minded lady ; and at her right is Mrs. Anglin, a charming woman—so *tis said: The belles and the beaux of the capital, delight to congregate in the Speaker’s gallery—and be admired by their less favored sisters in the “‘ladies gallery” opposite ; by the nicely critical and discriminating editors and reporters o site; by the venerable, but still gallant, Senators to the left of them; by the mis cellaneous citizens to the right of them, by the contending Commoners in front of them —who, from the weary business of the state, ovcassionally Jook up and smile, as eye ineets eye, in friendly recognition. The mace—that talismanic bauble—is -on. the table, and the Speaker is, of course, in his chair. Before him sits the Chief Clerk and his two subordinates—one to read and write English, the other to read and write French. A little further on, the ‘‘Hane ard” reporters exercise their marvellous art; and as the quickly flowing words. fall from the lips of wisdom, catch them up and store them up for the instruction and delight of future generations. On. the Speaker’s right, are the Ministers—not im their Windsor uniforms—who, by their fat- al impolicy, have led Canada, step by step, to the ‘‘ most calamitious and disgracefut situation to which a once flourishing coun try can be reduced.’” Behind them sit their followers, whose rage of defamation and audacity of falsehood would overwhelm Her Majesty’s Opposition in villification, and corrupt act of the ‘* paicty” appear pure. as the driven snow, and clear of taint as the air of heaven. A fatal principle pervades the ranks of this ‘‘ pairty.” It isa perfect indifference te the violation of principles

and engagements. This principle is 80 mingled in the blood, marrow and very essence of

the ‘‘pairty” that when one of its leaders laughs to day at what he asserted yesterday, it is considered the natural order of thi See, there, close to the Speaker’s chair, is Huntington. A large, bold man, smooth, regular features and ponderous voice,— great—and great only—at using big sound- ing words : ‘In every theme his wondrous art,

Heaven’s awful thunder

Or a rumbling cart.”

Beside Huntington sits Laflamme ~ awaiting the decision of the Courts; and next to him, with his cap on, is McKenzie, aman of good intentions and good princi ples—who has not firmness enough to avoid inconsistent or dishonorable actions when imeited to them by the vampires who sur- round him ; who has feeling enough to be ashamed of political crimes, yet lacks the courage to refrain from perpetrating them if his party be thereby strengthened or his partisans obliged. Behind the Premier sits Blake, who is regarded by all good Grits much as an Indian medicine man is regard- ed by his tribe ; and to his left is Coffin, at once an object of derision to his opponents and of melancholy pity to his friends That man with the sparkling head, and air of smooth respectability—that is Dymond— Mr. Dymond, of North York—the Parlia- mentary editor of the Toronto Globe. Ue is industrious and painstaking; but not very popular. The feeling with respect te hiza is expresed in the words :

**I do not like you, Dr. Fell, The reason why I cannot tell. But this, I’m sure, I know full well, I do not like you, Dr. Fell.”

To the left of the Speaker sits Langevin, Pope. Sir John McDonald, Tup

Masson, Mitchell—household names—the loaders of
