Correspondence.
Be We do not hold ourselves respo; sible for the sf ements or opinions of our correspondents.
To the Editor of the Examiner. Sin,—Permit me, through your valuable paper, to bring to the notice of citizens the action of a certain individual in connection with the Police Department, by the name of Chandler. He gets the name or title of City Bailiff, for which he receives $365 a year. He is nothing mere than an excuse, All the decuments he works on are civil,— yet this man must have a policeman at his shoulder to convey him hither and thither, when acting on civil documents. Occasion- ally, he must have a policeman tolled off to serve summonses for him— for fear his delicate pulse might beat too fast. He must be a favorite of his Honor the Stipendiary Magistrate. This individual has the ill-manners to get some person to write a letter for him, tu which he signs his name. In this letter he abuses aman who helps to raise his salary on account of the amount of city taxes he is compelled to pay. At the same time I wish to ask the question, has this worthy only certain hours to work ? such hours as from 10 in the morning until four in the evening, and yet received the same ameunt of salary as an officer who has to de duty for 24 or 27 hours, as the case may be? Such a state of affairs hasexisted too long. His partof the business, for which he receives $365, could be as easily done by the officers on beat as not, and it would be no more than pastime for them ; and they are always on hand. CITIZEN.

Economy the Watchword.
The Argus says :—‘* We are pleased to observe that the present Government of the Dominion have adopted ‘* Economy” as their watchword. In every Province of the Confederation, the Government are cut- ting down expenses and doing away with unnecessary Officials. We understand that the offices of as many as forty Assayers of Weights and Measures have been done away with gn Ontario, thirty-three in Quebec, and cuite a number in_ the Maritime Previnces. By the re-adjust- ment, although not by any means a fair one—which has taken place on our own Railway, a saving of ten thousand dollars has been effected. On the [ntercolonial Railway, Dr. —Tupper explained in the House of Commons, on the 8th inst., that he was prepared’ to manage it with an ap- propriation of $300,000«1ess than that de- manded by Mr. Brydges—the man _ of Palace Car notoriety. On the renewal of steel rails he expects to save $143,000; en the salaries of the staff $43,000; on the mechanical department, $91,000 ;:on ma- terials $23,000 ; making in all $300,000.
“If Dr. Tupper can do this, he will merit and receive the thanks of the whele coun- try.”

A Soldier’s Tribute.
GENERAL SHERMAN’S OPINION OF VICTORIA.
QUEEN
The Thirteenth Brooklyn has inviied, among other distinguished soldiers, General Sherman, to accompany them on their visit to Montreal on the 24th of this month, and we regret that we can only publish, instead of -an acceptance, his explanation. that he cannot visit the Dominion on this occasion. Itis a letter, however, that will be read with much interest by all loyal Canadian subjects, even at this distance from the Commercial Metropelis of the Dominion, as containing the opinion of Her Majesty held by such an important personage across the border, as General Sherman ;—
Heapgvarrens, ARMY oF THE UNITED STATES, Wasnitnatnn, D. C., May 9, 1879. Col. David E. Austen and others of the Com- mittee, Brooklyn, New Yor : GENTLEMEN,—I thank you for the cour- tesy of the invitation contained in your letter of May 8, to unite with you in the proposed international visit to the Do- minion of Canada, on Thursday, May 22nd inst., to participate in the festivities in commemoration of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, I envy you the privilege of assisting in doing honor to a_ Sove- reign who has presided over the destinies of Great Britain for more than forty ..eventful. years, and whose life as child, wife, mother, Queen’ and Empress stands resplendent as an ex- ample to the rulers on earth, by whatever title they may be known, and whose private life is a type which may safely be followed by the most humble, as well as the most exalted, among civilized and enlightened people. However beloved she may be by her own subjects, I believe in no land on earth if she held in more kindly respect than in this onr Republic of America, [ am sure that the Thirteenth Regiment, N. G. 8. N. Y., will bear themselves as worthy descendants of our honored ancestors and present friends; and I deeply regret that public business prevents my being one of their comrades on such an occasion. With great respect, your friend and servant, A. T. Saerman, General. _.__Jigtt weisesaitica) certain Memphis mule is so extraor- dinarily vicious that he is constantly kept placarded with the warning :—Beware His Heels.’?
a The Princess Louise as an Art Exhibitor.
Says the Toronto Globe of two water- color paintings, by the Princess Louise, on view at the Ottawa Art Exhibition at Tor- onto :—
“As usual, the exhibit of water-colors is rather better than that of oil-paintings. In the latter class Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise has graciously consented to become an exhibitor, having forwarded two pictures that will, no doubt, attract a good deal of attention. The first is a ‘ Study of a Female Head.’ For all that it professes to be, this production would be hard to surpass. The lack of varnish and mechani- cal finish is calculated to lace this picture at a disadvantage ameng paintings that have received those attentions designed to bring out all their shades of color in the best possible light ; but at the same time, even in its present comparatively untinished state, there is something in it that will ar-
rest the attention, of the beholder, and cause }-
him to look again and study the evidences of rare merit that no artist’s eye can fail to recognize. There is pronounced character in the face that one will carry away in his memory. This face will come back to him after he has left the gallery, as will that of some friend or acquaintance whom he knows well and will not soon forget. Both head and face are beautifully, even perfectly, moulded. The eyes are large, bright, and liquid, full of earnest expression, the brows exquisitely arched, the nose finely modelled, with the lines and curves about the nostrils delicately brought oyt, the mouth beautiful- ly full, mobile, and expressive, while the whole contovy of the face is mere than pleas- ing. The hair, which is of a rich, soft brown, has a light, fluffy look as it strays over the forehead which approaches reality so clesely that in gazing on it one is apt to forget that he is looking at a picture at all. The blending of the soft tinted background with the hair and cheek that rest upon it is absolutely faultless. Beyond a very deftly treated collar and tie nothing is attempted in the way of drapery or surroundings. Altogether this study shows the work of a real artist’s hand everywhere, and there is a boldness, a fearlessness in the manner of treatment that would make one earnestly wish to see more work from the same brush, Much that has been said of the last men- tioned picture applies. to the ‘Study of Peaches’ It is realistie . everywhere. Every peach , and every leaf is deftly moulded ; the coloring, thouch subdued, is strikingly realistic.” 1-eolp sigeslipi 34
True PotrrEness.—Mrs. “Livermore re- cently related the following incident: ‘‘ I was once the recipient of a very marked po- liteness. When Lwas im London my hus- band and J received a verbal invitation from Lady Vilas, whom I had met once or twice pleasantly, to come to her house next evening and meet a few. friends of hers. We accepted and went. . But I was deceived by the informality of the invitation and supposed it was merely to meet haif a dozen neighbors or intimate friends of hers. So we went out riding in the afternoon, stop- ping there on our way back to, the hotel. Judge of my amazement to. find ‘the house illuminated and a very large and _ brilliant party assembled in full dress in my honor. There | was in a plain carriage dress, bon- net, black gloves.. EI went into the house and to the ladies’ dressing-rooni, whence I sent a note to the hostess, saying that [had misapprehended her invitation and was not in appropriate costume. She ran up and reassured me by telling me they had come to see me and didn’t care for the dress, and carried me right dewn with her. All in full dress and the ladies without hats, and hair elaborately dressed, I with brown dress, bare hands, bonnet on. I soon recovered the self-possession which the farx pas some- what disturbed, and was greeted with splen- did cordiality: In a few minutes Mr. Livermore edged ‘around behind me, and whispered, ‘Didn’t you think, Mary, that all these ladies had on white kids when you came in? I leoked around and they were all bare-handed.! Moreever, I observed that half a dozen had bonnets on. This half a dozen rapidiy increased, till we were in the majority, and { soon discovered that no lady whe arrived after I did had re moved her hat. Now, that is what I call politeness.”

The contest between capital and labor in California has resulted in the success of the latter, the vigorous if misdirected agitation of the Kearney faction having imposed a new constitution on the State, whose single purpose is to hamper and oppress capital. Holders of real estate will be called upon, by the provisions of the new constitution, to pay taxes on the whole fee-simple, on the mortgage and on the rent of earnings ; banks are to be taxed on their mortgages, on the coin secured by the mortgages and also on their diyidends ; and railroads are to be taxed on realty, read-beds and rolling stock, and amerced besides in special duties on all blanks, freight-bi:ls and all tickets for passengers. ‘The power.of the Judges, also, is considerably limited. This consti- tution can hardly confer any. blessings on the people, but it mayveffect good in the long run, by impressing upon the unthink- ing classes, through hard: experience, the conviction that capital, even when unjustly wielded, is capable of conferring very great benefits. efit ‘
