Though the fluish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we wouid direct attea- tion to the beaulitul

Glaee Pictures which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes. tractible, and will retain their freshnes- aud beauty for avy length of time. tf ihey 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 difficalty of their production wiil prevent Lhem ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cab have one or all of their Photos finished ip this style—an advantage which cannot be obtaincd elsewhere,

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures ef childien are sufficient evidence of our success io this difficult branch of our art.

ship of war that might escape the vigilance of a British cruiser ia the Gulf of St. Lawrence.”

Satisfaction, at the conduct of the Govern- ment relative to militia matters, is expressed, especially at the success which appears to have attended the establishment of a Military Col- lege at Kingston, which is the latest addition to the establishment of Dominion; and gives promise of forming available addition of trained otiicers for the miiitia of the country.

England and Her Forces.

(London Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.)

The idea expressed by hostile foreign critics that Boaconstield wished Russia to refuse Eng- lish mediation in order that he might regard it as rebuif sufficiently objectionable to give him au excuse to declare war is too ridiculous to need comment. If the Premier wanted war he could ha e found plenty of excuses, and he would be eathusiastically upheld by the nation at large. ‘lhe peace-at-any-price party is as contemptible in the eyes of England as it al- ways was,and the Liberal Opposition is as weak aad divided now a3 it was when Mr. Gladstone made his stand in the House on the famous ‘‘resolutions.” The truth is, nobody wants war, but everybody who has a spark of Kaglish pride in his composition is sick of be- ing told by lookers-on that ‘‘England daren’t fight,” that ‘the Old Couatry is effete,” that ‘John Ball is in a corner,” that it is ‘Eng- land’s turn to suffer the horrors and humilia tion of defeat.” Critics who say these things don’t know what they are talking about. England has long since played out her game, and is contented. She wants to keep what she has got and go on her way. European affairs, per 8’, she is willing to leave to European pow- ers. Shehasa united Empire twice as big again as all Europe put together. She has a record of which she need not be ashamed. But when the East is touched, she may not forget tiat she is the one great Asiatic power, and if needs be she will cCefend her in- terests and her honor in that di- rection. At the risk of working over old ground, I give you a few statics, just officially publishe’, showing that her peace establish- ments are not exactly despicable, even should she be called into action without another gingle enlistment, Her English and colonial army numbers roughly 140,000 men, trained and efficient soldiers of all arms; she has 134,000 militia, a service which did brilliant work in the Crimea; her yeomanry cavalry number 14,548 well mounted Guards; her rifle and artillery volunteers, the pick of the young men of the English middle classes, (the kind of stuff which fought the great battles of Ger- many), number 174,241; there is an army re- gerve force of 36,000 men besides, including enrolled pensioners. When the Crimean war broke out the volunteer service did not exist. it would be quite a suftivient defence for home service now, leaving atthe disposal of the (Queen for war beyond the seas an army of ao mean pretensions, especially when con- sidered in connection with the following naval igares: The navy estimates for the year eud- ing March, 1878, show a force of sixty thousand men, boys, marines, and coast- guardsmen, which cost the country, with Jock-yards, naval yards, pensions, victuals, clothing, etc., an average of $55,000,000 a year. ‘There are 200 war ships in commission, 45 of which are modern ironclads: and there are a dozen new vessels at various yards in course of construction. Then, to add to the military strength of the nation, there are, as I have said before, 80,0)0 In- dian troops (20,00) English) ready to move at a moment’s notice, and 40,000,000 of warlike adults to fall back upon if need be in India, who could be bought with British gold. ‘They love fighting tor its own sake Milllons of them would be moved to enthusi- ism led against the enemies of Mahommed. The population of Great Britain itself is only some 3,000,000 less than the United States. The population is crowded in upon itself, as it were. ‘Trade is bad. Many thousands of men are ont of work. <A declaratiou of war and an extra bounty for recruits would bring to the national staudard in a very short time 250,000 men from the mining and manufacturing dis tricts. Don't believe, for a moment, that tuere is any want of capacity to go to war. If the Queen wanted them, she could, in six months, put half a million troops int» the field. She lost 100,000 in the Crimea. It is the favor.te but mistaken idea of despots that a free gov. ernment, relying upon a volunteer army, 1s necessarily weak from a military point of view. Never was a greater mistake. History is full of examples against such a theory; and should England be forced into the present war, Eu- rope will learn another lesson of the strength and self-sacrificing devotion of a free people trained up in the enjoyment of liberal mstitu- tions, having in their own hands the power of peace and war. controlling the purse-strings of the Government, and possessing rights and pri- ileges which no other nation in the wide world ! ~possazses except their Anglo-Saxon brothers of the great American Repabli>.

The Eastern Question. In the House of Lords, on jthe 25th, Earl Beaconstield, in reply to a question propound- ed by the Earl of Sandwich, said it was a fact

: that instructions had been given for the fleet

to proceed to the Dardanelles and Constanti- nople. At tke same time the Government

_prepared to telegraph to the European Pow- | ers, including Russia and the Porte, that in _ the course the Government had followed there armament of modern rifled guus a3 would for- | was not the slightest deviation. from the policy bid the passage of the St. Lawrence to any

of neutrality they had from the first an- nounced, He maintained that the British ilect went to the Dardanelles to defend British subjects and British property, and take care of British interests in the straits. Since the Government had arrived at that resolution, they had become acquainted with the pro- posed conditions of peace, add having examined these conditions, the Government were of the opinion that they furnished a basis for an arm istice, therefore they had given directions to the Admiral to remain at Besika Bay. ‘They had not, under these circumstances, circulated throughout Europe the telegraph despatch to which he had referred.

Karl Carnarvon rose to make a personal ex. planation. He said that in order to justify his conduct, he would state the reasons which had led him to place his resignation of the colonial secretaryship in the hands of Her Majesty. That step he had taken, and this afternoon the Queen was graciously pleased to accept it. He would not compute blame to

ny of his colleagues, but circumstances had arisen which rendered it incumbent on him to take the course he had named. He dissented from the resolution for sending the fleet to the Dardanelles, and also to the supplementary vote which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had proposed to take on Monday. He con sidered that soch a vote ought not to have been mooted antil the terms of pe:c: had ar- rivel and become known. On January the 2ue@ he had occasion to address _a deputation. it would be remembered that he had made a speech in which he expressed views with re- gard to the state of affairsin the East. On the following day in the Cabinet the Prime Minister condemned the language he used. He (Carnarvon) took time to consider the course he should take under the circumstances and as there was no public disavowal ef the language which had been used, he felt justified in tendering his resignation. He maintained he had notin any way misrepresented the inten- tions.

A Sav Narrative.—The ‘ Daity Tele- graph” prints the following under date of Con- stantin ple Monday :-—-Mr. Master, agent of the English Relief Fund, has just arrived here. with a train full of refugees from Adrianople. These unhappy people have been in open eattle trucks three days. Many perished from- the cold weather. Last night fifteen were: found dead in the trucks. The sufferings of* all described as awful. ‘ }

“‘ Mothers are reported in their frenzy te have thrown away living babies rather than see them die in their arms. As the train, moved from Adrianople numbers of people tried to cling to the outsice and’ framework of ; the carriages, and many attempted to ride on, the buffers, i

‘** At one of the stations, were hundreds of people had congregated with food for two days, the men threatened Mr. Master with violence, if bread was not given to them. Yesterday there were 15,000 women and children out in the snow at Choriou. Three trains full are hourly expected to arrive at Constantiaople.

‘‘1t is not known where they will find. shelter. The snow is stveral inches deep aud. it isstill falling. The cold is intense. AII . that can possibly be done is effected by the. Administrators of the reiief fund, but maw lives are being sacrificed. The spectacle here is simply horrible and indescrible.”

The emigrating instinct of John Chinaman, suppressed so long and developed recentl with such remarkable force, has at last foun a welcome response. Kicked, cuffed and de- spised, both in California and Australia, the Chinese are welcomed in Yeru. There are now) 70,000 of them in that country, and the Goy-. ernment have engaged steamers to bring more, They intermarry, it is said, with the lower classes of whites, and are accorded the full rights of citizenship. The two races agree and get along comfortably,

A daughter of Uyras Trip, of the Township of Grinbsy, a girl of about eighteen years of age, recently went with her uncle, James Comfort, to see some friends above Hamilton, and on their way home svopped over night in an open shed. It being very cold, Comfort’s, fect were so badly frozen that the skin of the soles came off with his boots, and the girl had her feet so badly frozen that they had to be ainputated above the ankles.

The Rev. G. Brown, who has returned to England from a cruise about the Oceanic Arch- ipelagoes, mentions a curious custom among the natives at Spacious Bay. Among the wealthier members, as their daughters approach the marriageable age they are contined in tabooed houses for some years, the girl not being allowed to set foot out of it during the time of her seclusion. She is prohibited from all intercourse with her kind, and is not even spoken to or apprceghor, except for the pur- pose of giving her food, until she is married.

Last week we referred to the terrible fatality occurring in the family of Mr. D. Ritter, of Burferd. Five children out of eight had died in a few days of diphtheria. Since then two more have succumbed to the disease, the seventh dying on Tuesday of last week. Those
