we would inform them that.we have now increased facilities first-class work, and are prepared to nuke Puorognapus of @ Slyle and Quality that has never been before allempled in i/us City. We have on exhibliion, at our Rooms, a number of Photograps «f every variety, including the
BEAUTIFUL PHOT) - ENAMEL
he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessivug a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deserved y popu ar elsewhere, amu cannot fail to be- core so here.
Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct alten, tion to the beautitul
Giaee’ Pictures
which we make. They possess a highly patnelled surface, and are practically tndes- roctibie, snd will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they wil! not lose any of their beauty by being wet, ‘This waluadie quality, com- biued with their remarkable elegance, ‘make them very suitable for presents; While the difflculty 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 atteution to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c Our pictures of children are sufficient €vidence of Our success in this difficult of our art. ee *NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Province-. Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sil early, as the wumber of our ca ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of ibe Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have eur sittera come by appointment. Photugrapis can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case We ask that quality be giveu the preference; as- suring tne peblic that they will flad our eharges very moderate.

| Legislature for the repeal of the Assessment { Act. Mr. John Mooney was appointed Chair- j man, and the undersigned Seoretary.
t is J. €. Under hay, dsq., and Lauchlin Me ' Donald, M. P. P., ‘having been called upon, wave their views on the situation, and urged / upon the meeting the necessity of retrench- ‘ment; thought the expenditure should be kept within the revenue, and believed the proper course was to petition the Legislature for the repeal of the Assessment Act.
After some further remarks from Messrs. Michael Mooney, George Mooney, Angus Campbell, Andrew Mooney and the under- signed, all in condemnation of the Acts of the present Government, the following resolutions were severally put aud unanimously carried :—
Moved by George Mooney, seconded by Angus Campbell :—
Whereas, In the opinion of this meeting the legislation of our Local Assembly during last winter has not tended to promote the interests or welfare of this Province, and that in view of the widespread discontent and dissatisfac tion thereby created, itis evident that the present Government does not possess the con- fidence or represent the interests of the people of this Island.
Resolved, Therefore, That in the opinion of this meeting, the present House of Assembly should be immediately dissolved.
Moved by John Foley seconded by Michael Mooney :—
Wherca’, This meeting believes that the Assessment Act, 1877, was unnecessary and injudicious,
Resolved, Therefore, That the Legislature be petitioned for therepeal ofthe said Act, and that this meeting will, therefore, support no candidate unless pledged to keep the expendi- ture within the revenue, without resorting to any increase of taxation.
Moved by John McDonald, seconded by George Mooney :—
Resolved, That a vote of thanks be tendered to our representative, Lauchlan McDonald, Ksq., for his attendance this evening, and for his unwaveriug resistance to all the oppressive Acts of last Session.
Also a vote of thanks was tendered to J. C. Underhay, Esq., for attending the meeting,
All present having signed the petition to the Legislature, and the usual vote of thanks hav- ing been given the Chairman, the meeting dispersed.

Our Washington Letter.
Wasurnton, D. C., Jan. 8, 1878.
I want to write you a whole letter about those ‘‘ awful Indians” who have been here this fall, and | will do it now before the sub ect loses its freshness, and while there is little of importance transpiring here, aside trem that which reachea you by telegraph. The delegatiou—25 Chiets, several interpreters, agents and General Crook—came to this city the last week in September. Their object was to confer with President Hayes about the loca- tion of their agencies, the Government having ordered them to the Missouri River, to which region they are all strenuously opposed, for the reason of the extreme cold in winter, overflow- ing in summer, general unhealthfuiness of the piace, sinail amount of timber, and consequent scarcity of game. Red Cloud’s wife, and 150 ot his tribe, died there in « single winter, from the cold. 1 was preseut at their first inter. view with the President and Cabinet at the White House. I got there early, for the pur- pose of witnessing their arrival and, having secure a favorable position, awaited results, and was an amused spectaior to a little side play (not down inthe programme) that took place just as the Indians drove up. Mrs, Hayes had arrived with her children and some lady guests. and being attended by no gentle- men, save her servants, she was averse to pushing her way through the crowd that thronged the portico. Her woman’s wit came to the rescue, and she unhesitatingly clamber- ed through an open side window without the aid of step or chair. It wasn’t one of the low- iramed modern windows either. She had to climb equal to a school-boy scaling an orchard wall and, judging by her rosy cheeks, dancing eyes and low laughter, she enjoyed the esca- pade as well. I should have mentioned that this was before the President’s family had left Soldier's home. I followed her through a side door into the great Kast Room where the pow wow was to take place, and we were only seat- ed in time to see the -Jhiefs marshalled in. They well understood that the occasion was o.e of importance, and they had decked them- selves out for it in their finest array, which consisted of blankets, leggings and mocassins, beads, feathers, and lintel adornments. Some of their eazle feather head dresses reached to their hcels, and their faces were fantastically painted. They each shook hands with the President, several airing their English by ex claiming how ! how!!!” Foronly one of their number could speak in our tongue. Thena dozen or more of the greatest braves stood up in turn before the Chief. Magistrate, and made their speeches which were interpreted, sen- tence by sentence. Their gesticulations were impressive and some of their w_rds, pathetic. “Good White Fatie,,” said one, take pity on us and help us. The Great Spirit put us on the earth, and we must live,” &c. They asked for very many things, evidently expecting an immediate granting of ail their requests. They wanted money, nice houses, wazons, trunks, clothes, schoolhouses and teachers, churches and priests. Several conferences were necessary to make them un- derstand that they must return to their reser- vations without receiving these things; but they all expressed a wish to “ live like white men.” The last time they went to the White House they had discarded thieir savage costume a:d denied plain black suits given then b ‘the President, and, though awkward and ev1- dently ill at ease in their new rigs, tke'r fies were guiltless of paint and their long black | hair of feathers. They went en masse to the
grand evening dinner and ball was given at | Executive Mansion for the parpose of impress- ing the savage mind with the power and gran- dear of our Governmental potentate. They | were Impressed too, but in somewhat unex- pected directions; for instanee: After’ Red Cloud had partaken unsparingly of the good things at dinner, he observed grufily that he
| noticed that the ‘whites eat not the same sup:
plies they set to the Indians, but had moe than cornmeal.” Hole-in-the Cloud, having unsparingly quaffed the red wine, suddenly enamored of beautiful Mrs. Belknap, then in the acme of her glory, and clamored loudly for beautiful ‘white squaw ;’ while Bull’s Horn in- sisted upon dancing with sedate an modest Mrs. Boutell, who had not indulged in such pastime since her girlhood.

Kine Vicror EMMANUEL’s FunFrRaL Post. PONED—THEeE Great MIirary Display THAT IS TO TAKE Piace ar THE BURIAL.
Roms, Jan. 12.—Twenty battalions infantry, with a corresponding force of cavalry and ar- tillery, have been ordered to Rome to take part in the burial ceremony, and give the dead King the customary military honors.
The Pariiament has voted 10,000,000 francs to defray the expenses of erecting a handsome mausoleum in the Pantheon, tween the Corso and Piazza Navona, to commemorate the life and brilliant services of the deceased. The best artistic skill in Italy will be secured
for the work. The Pope is comparatively well, and yester- (lay received Cardinal Manning and Bishop Clifford in his library, His Holiness expressed his great surprise that King Victor Emmanuel, who was somuch younger than himself, and of such a vigorous constitution, should have died before him.
Lonpon, Jan. 12.—The funeral of Victor Emmanuel has been postponed to the 17th, in expectation of the arrival of German and‘ Aus- trian Imperial Princes. Immense crowds thronged the Quirina] on Saturday to View the remains of the dead King. The municipality of Rome has decreed, subject to the appro- val of the Koyal Family, that the first King of United Italy shall receive sepulture in Rome. The Royal family in deference to the wishes of the people have consented,
King Humbert reviewed the troops yester- day, and was received with great enthusiasm. He complimented the soldiers on their fidelity to United Italx.
The grandest military display that has ever taken place in modern Rome will be witnessed on the occasion of the funeral. One hundred and fifty generals, two hundred and fifty colonels, eleven hundred and ten officers of lower grades, and ten thousand soldiers have been ordered to Rome, in addition to the usually large garrison. The monument pro- posed to be erected in honor of the dead King will be either in pantheon or earth of St. Angelo. The site has not yet been finally de- cided upon,
Castellaui has presented a golden crown of ancient Roman pattern to be placed over the remains.
Later. —The King’s remains will he deposit- ed in Pantheon Chapter of Church, which has declared that it will feel honored by so saered a trust. The Ecclesiastical authorities, by proper orders, have removed all difficulties in connection with the celebration of the funeral Nhe clergy have also been advised to attend, and the Archbishops of Upper Italy have been ordered to celebrate requiem mass.

The ‘Trimmer, Ms
There is another evil to be avoided, and that is the disposition to play the trimmer in the journey ot life. All men, if they be worthy of the name, are ambitious of the respect and good opinion of their neignbors. All men wish to be popular, but too many make sad wreck in their efforts to attain this popularity.” I know of few sadder spectacles than that of a man, seizing upon every rutile of popular ex- citement, in the hope of sailing in upon the crest of the wave; whose anxiety to makes him an object of discomfort to himself, an object of contempt to all who watch his efforts in that direction. Popular impulses are often misdirected and are often unjust. Too irequently they are at the services of dema- gogues who pay the people the disrespect of appealing to their feelings and prejudices rather than to their reason. But. after all popular impulses in the long run are generally sound and true, and it is for this reason that mere popularity hunters are almost invariably doomed to final disappointment. The public respect which is worth having is that which is begotten of a popular conviction of actual worth, and the surest way to attain it is by preseveting jealously one’s a doin nothing which, if known to the whole worl would make us blush. A spirit of sturdy in- dependence is a good spirit to cultivate. Not the spurious article which too often passes for it. en often get credit for independence ! y rushing to the front rank of their own set, in times of popular or civic commotion. This is an easy kind of independence. What is most frequently the real article, is much more diff. cult. Any man can sail with wind and tide. But it is often hard to subject one’s motives te misconstruction by boldly refusing either to lead or follow, with those with whom we usually act, when we think them in the wrong. [t is in such cases that true independence is needed. It is im sich cases thit the honest de- votion to truth, to our convictions of dut shows most conspiciously, although it is im such cases, that for the moment at any rate we are apt t» get less credit for it. What is con- veniently called ‘‘ backbone” is, in nine cases out of ten, neither more nor less than a blatant
vandering to some: popular feeling of the hour. It is not independence ; it is not even a res- pectable counterfeit of indepeptenea it is, im fact, the very opposite of independence. This honest adherence to truth is not inconsistent with the most perfect spirit of toleration.— Krom a lecture delivered by Mr. Thos. White on the ** Ladder of Lise.”
