ing our numerous customers for the iiberal manner in which they have patron- ized

OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Puorocrapus of a Slyle and Qualily that has never been before allempled in this City.

We bave on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ENAMEL

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

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

Glace Pictures

which we make. They -possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, #nd will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. Uf they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuable 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 obtained elsewhere.

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

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

anch of our art. oo Y NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

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

Photographs can be obtained for iess movey eisewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as~ suring the public that they will fiad our eharges very moderate.

MORE COMPLAINTS.

Mr, Langevin’s motion for an address to the Government, asking that correspondence be laid upon the table relating to mail communica- tion with the British West Indies, was the peg upon which was huag several lively discourses on the systematic neglect and perfidy of: the McKenzie Administration. Nor were any less lively than those of its own supporters. The session has, in fact, been marked, by the large number of attacks the Ministry has suffered

The maintenance of the road, including re- pairs to buildings, bridges, wharves, etc., amount to $72,493.24—a decrease of $6,463.06 as compaired with the cost of maintenance in the previous year.

The track between Charlottetown and Roy- alty Junction was relaid with steel rails at a cost of $18,266.17. Altogether the expenses of the road in the aggregate are set down at $210,329.08. Of this amount $2,746.67 are for miscellaneous expenses not enumerated. It would be interesting to

is manifestly unfair. By the storekeepers’ ac- count it appears that there are rails and faaten- ings on board to the value of $11,457.74; and if that amount represents the good rails torn up, it should at least be deducted from the ex- penses. The total expenses of the road for the year would then, under its present eminently extravagant management, be $198,871.34. However, let us turn to the other side of the account. It appears that the receipts on ac-

portunity offered by Mr. Langevin, he seized with alacrity. Tenders were called for the conveyance of mails between Halifax and: the West Indies. They werereceived. But none was ever aecepted, Perhaps they were never opened, Regular eoimmunication has, in con sequence, been diseontinued, and a valuable trade in provisions, which the ,Dominion has to supply and which the people of the West Indies want, has. been lest. ‘The Doctor, vou see, has a very ugly cause of complaint ; and I must adont that for a good easy man, he rags the charges upon the duplicity, neg- lect and mismanagement of the 4:overn- ment he has heretofore supported | with commendable vigor and skill. | True, Mr. Palmer, of New brunswick, lightly rallies him upon his blindness to Goverumental misdoings during the past four years ; bat the eyes of the worthy doctor are: open at : last, and it is better late than never to do right. Mr. Palmer charges the Government with having ‘killed the West India trade ;” and points how, had it not been for the. Government's fratricidal neglect and impolicy,.we might now be en- joying a luerative trade—yielding protits to farmers, ship-owners and merchants——pretits which have been permitted to fall iuto the lap of the United States, and ean only be diverted back to their old - channels by a ‘change of policy ” on the part of the Govern- ment and vigorous action on the part of Cana- dian merchants. Before he sits down he presses upon Government the necessity of sub- sidizing a line of steamrs to carry the mails and re epen trade .communication with the West India Islands. Huntington offers some excuses which cannot be heard .in the news- paper correspondents’ gallery; and then the Hon: Peter Mitchell takes the floor. Mr. Mitcheli wants to know “why the people have been deceived?” The Government fails to answer; but a bystander suggests that it is beeause the ‘Organized Hypocrisy” are in power. INTERCOLONIAL RALAWAY MISMANAGEMENT:

Bailway has en raged his long suilering constituents ; and he, too; must speak out,or tall nevertorise again im their esteem. . His attack is merely a sortie against the outworks of that great Citadel of Governmental corruption and incapacity, popularly known as “ The Intercolonial.” Mr. Pouliot: directed attention to fences neg- lected, cows killed, howses aud barns reduced to ashes—-property wantonly destroyed with- out the slightest attention to the demands of poor farmers for redress. #And Mr. LaFlamme cooly told him that his aggrevied constituents might apply to the Supreme Court of Ex- chequer ; their ventilate their wrongs and re- cover damages, But Doctor Tupper pointed out that the remedy indicated by his Honor- able friend, was entirely illusory. No poor farmer could afferd to go into the Court; and Mr. LaFlamme’s suggestion was, therefore, impracticable. Following out the idea, ‘an- other Honorable member, asked Mr. La- Flamme how much it cost him to defend him- self mm the courts from the charge of electional corruption. . Mr. Laflamme. was silent.
