he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- ccme so here.

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

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, as 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 can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain d elsewhere.

We give speciai attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schoois, &¢c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our Cu tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appolmtment.

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere : bul in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- ‘suring tne public that they will flad our @harges very moderate.

Flogging Runaway Husbands The Solicitor’s Journal says :—

The Recorder of Hereford,,so it has been stated in more than one daily newspaper, has recently ordered the punishment of whipping to be inflicted upon a prisoner found guilty a fourth time of running away and leaviug his wife and children chargeable to the parish. It is rare for jurisdiction to be exercised, but the jurisdiction itself is undoubted. It is derived from 5 Geo. 1V., c. 83, wh.ch allows whipping in the case of very hardened offenders. The 4th section enacts that ‘Every person running away leaving hisewife, or his or her child or children chargeable, or whereby she or they or any of them shall become chargeable to any parish, township or place,” shall be deemed a ‘**rogue and vagabond,” and may be sentenced on summary eonviction to three months’ im- prisonment. The 5th section enacts that, upon a second offence, the offender shall be deemed an ‘‘incorrigible rogue,” and may be committed to sessions. By the 10th section ‘‘it shall be lawful for the justices of the peace” at ses- sions ‘‘to examize into the circumstances of the case,” and to order, if they think fit, that such offender be further imprisoned And kept to hard labor, and to order further, if they think fit, that ‘‘sueh offender (not being a fe- mule) be pun’sied by whipping, at such time during his imprisonment and at ‘such place within their jurisdiction as according to the nature of the offence they in their discretion shall deem to be expedient?”

India.

It is not pleasant to hear, when there is too much probability, that Great Britain will be engaged in a war with Russia before the spring opens, and when so many are calculating that she could draw a large body of white and native troops from India, that there is much discontent and disaffection in India itself : An exchange says :—

Quite recently a paragraph in the Pall Mall Gaztte calied attention to the exten- sive and illegitimate manufacture of fire arms in India, which has spread to such an extent as to attack the notice of the Goy ernment. There seems to be a revival of national feeling among the Bengalees, and there can be no doubt of the existence of wide spread discontent with British rule. The articles of the native press are sufficient proof of this, many of them being even vio- lently seditious, pointing out that English policy is to stamp out their national life, re- gretting the action of a century ago which threw off the Mehommedan yoke and quietly handed over to British rule, and hinting at a recovery of the old state of aflans. Of course such utterances are quietly set aside by the authorities and as far as possible kept from the English public, but where there is so much smoke there must be some little fire, and the present time is not the most pleasant for making the discovery.

> ++ <a +e - Stanley's Biography.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer- cial sends to it the following sketch of Henry M. Stanley, which he says is accurate :—

‘‘Henry M. Stanley, whose original name was John Rowlands, was born near Dinbych, Wales, in 1840, his father’s name being John Rowlands (or Rollant as then called by the Welsh people. Having received early educa- tional advantages to a greater extent than was generally accorded to children of his time, we find him, when only a youth, occupying the position of assistant teacher in the public school of Llanelwy, then of Treffynon, and still later of Wyddarug. From here, when only about fifteen years of age, he shipped as cabin boy ona steamer bound for New Or- leans, where he landed much in the same fin- ancial condition as our present worthy Mayor reported himself to have been when he first landed in Cincinnati.

ceeded in obtaining a situation in the mercan- tile house of one Henry M. Stanley, who soon became greatly attached to John, and, having no children of his own, he concluded to adopt hire into his family. From that time on John Rowlands, the Welshman, was known as Henry M. Stanley, the American. But un-

possess, a8 a writer, a vivid imagination and descriptive powers of no ordinary degree. ‘Upon his return to New York he was en- gaged as travelling correspondent of the New York /ierald, and as such accompanied the British army on their expedition to Abyssinia. Upon his return to London he was, at his special request, visited by his mother aid other near relatives. Not long after this he again on. a visit to his native Dinbyeli, taking with 11m many relics and curious things from Abys- sinia. From there again, as correspondent of the New York J//erald, he travelled over the Continent, and while in Madrid, Spain, m 1871, received instructions from Mr. Bennett to start for Africa. His History from that day until the present time is so well known that we need not particularize. New, while Henry M. Stanley, the famous African explorer, is the lion of foreign courts, receiving presents and marks of honor accord- ed to but few from Kings and Emperors ; while he is made the welcome guest of mon- archs, and the admiration of savans, and of all who recognise’ and appreciate pluck and talent ; and while all America is rejoicing in the fact that it is one of her citizens whe became the discoverer and savior of Living- stone, and who, in the face of almost insur- mountable obstacles, with his little bani of faithful followers, descended the Congo, which was certainly one of the greatest achievements of modern travel, and would have a credit to even a regular army, let it not be forgotten that the little Principality of Wales gave him birth. In this fact, at least, we as Welsh- American citizens have just cause for rejoic- ing.”

An Affecting Scene.

Could we collect the wives and children of this class (drunkards) in. a great amphitheatre place, in another the manufacturers and ven- dors, and fix them there until each mother and child had told the history of their grief, of their downward course from respectability and domestic happiness to poverty and wretched- ness ;—could the scenes of domestic discord be all acted over;—could the blows of the sworn and once loved protector be made to sound on their ears with the shrieks of these wives and mothers, and the wailings of their innocent children ;—could they have the power of language to describe their days of toil and misery, and their nights of unmingled and un- availing anguish ;—could they throw into their countenances all the agony which has so often wrung their souls, all the terror and trembling, all the disgust and loathing which the conduct of their husbands and fathers had caused them ;—f[could these men but hear the prayers of these wives for their hubands, that the temptation which has so _ be- sotted and enslaved them miglit not again be thrown in their way];—and, tinally, could the secret tears they have shed be made to flow in full view of this circle of makers and dealers, — could al! this be done, is there a soul not abso- lutely in league with the t Adversary and Tempter himself, who could for a day or hour continue in his unholy business! Yet all this is seen by the eye of Omniscience, and these groatings and wailings and prayers have en- tered into the ears of the God of Sabboath,— all this is seen in every section of our country at this day, when no man can plead ignorance in regard to this subject. —S. Chipman.

A Solid Cause at Last.

‘*Yes, occasionally we engage in that kind of business. What can we do tor you, madam ?”

‘Faith, sur, I'd loike to git a divorce from me husband Pathrick.”

‘*What is the matter with your husband, madam?’

‘Shure and Pathrick gits dhrunk, sur.”

*That’s bad. But f hardly think that alone will be a sufficient cause. Have you no other complaint ?”

‘‘Indeed I have, aur. Pathrick bates me.”

‘Yes, yes, I see. That adds cruelty to drunkenness. But, madam, you do not seem to suffer much in your appearance from Pat- rick’s cruelty. 1 think you must find a stronger reason before the Court will grant you a divorce.”

‘Well, sur, besides all that, I fear, sur, that Pathrick isn’t thrue to me.”

““Ah! now, madam, you begin to talk busi- ness. What reason have you for thinking that Batrick is unfaithful to you ?”’
