OUR NEW STUDIO,

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

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

BEAUTIFUL PHoTO- ENAMEL

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

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

Csiace

Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tractible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, bs they will not lose any of their beauty by aeing wet. ‘his valuabie 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, &

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

Our ENLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oi! und 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 customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment, =

Photographs can be obtained for sess nioney elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be giveu the preference ; as- suring the poblic that they wil! find our eluirges very moderate.

! a . . The Political Situation. MACKENZIE GOVERNMENT Is NO

WORTHY OF REFORM SUPPORT.

WHY THE LONGER

The Paris Star, of the 20th, has the follow- ing leading editorial: — “ For twenty-three | long years we have been a staunch and con ‘sistent supporter of the men now in power. | While they were in the cold shades of Opposi- ‘tion we endorsed the principles which they | then alvecated, believing them to be in the jinterests of Canada. We still hold the same j views. We heralded their accession to the Treasury benches, after the downfall of the late Conservative Gevernment, as a cause of rejoicing throughout the length and breath of the land. We then thought that a new era had dawned, and that undera pure Reform | Government purity would everywhere prevail, and that the administration of public affairs | would be at least honestly and ably conducted. | Before the present Government were in power 'a year, we had reason to have our confidence inthem somewhat shaken, but lived in the | hope that after a fair start they would at least | endeavor, even if they lacked the experience ,of their predecessors, to carry out Shuewtiy | what they contended for while in Opposition. | But, no! Every session proves mest conclu |sively to us that they have saarificed every principle they worked so hard for, when eager to obtain the Ministerial benches, and that ' the best interests of the country have been sacrificed. Incompetency and mismanagement | prevail innearly every department. We be ‘lieve the Leader of the Government, the Hon. | Alexander McKenzie, is an honest man, and ! although most industrious and plodding, is too | easily influenced by the unprincipled and de- signing men by whom he is from time to time surrounded, No man ever had a fairer oppor- tunity of proving to the world that the Referm Party was the better of the two great parties in the country. Under his management and those who are associated with him, the stand- art of Reform has been trailed in the dust, and the party which once stood high in the esti- mation of the people is now a by-word and re

proach. We looked for great things from the | Hon. Edward Blake, but he is so much inferior to his leader in all that goes to make a

politician, instead of a trusty counsellor he has been a source of weakness instead of strength. Our debt is increasing at a rate which is well calculated to cause distrust. The deficit, as set forth by theFinance Minister, is enormous, and such as never existed durmg the worst days of commercial stagnation under the Sir John McDonald Administration, With a stubbornness and foolhardiness almost stoical, they have refused to accept the sincere and patriotic efforts of the present Opposition to re-adjust the tariff with a view of helping our struggling industries, and im this way relieve

Their connection with the coup d'etat in Que- bee, when one of their own followers, the Lie- tenant Governor, dismissed a Government which were conducting the affairs of the coun- try wisely and well with a majority of Over twenty members, purely for political purposes, is a death-blow to Responsible Ciovernment, which our forefathers struggled so hard to se- cure. Wehave thought 1t but fair to our readers thus te lay our views before them. The interests of the country demand a change ‘of rulers; party must be sacrificed in the inter- , ests of the public weal, and no longer must the interests of the country be sacrificed for the sake of party. We have éaken the course we now announce after mature deliberation, and clearly and conscientiously believing that Sir John McDonald is the only statesman able to pilot the ship of state through the present ‘crisis, we will from this time onward support him and Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition with which he is surrounded; and if, when he once more sits on the treasury benches, which we believe he will after the next general election, he fails to carry out the principles for which he is now contending, the most prominent | amongst which is that of incidental protection to our struggling industries, we will condemn him as we now do the Hon. Alexander Me | Kenzie.

> American Credit. | The Londen Economist discusses at length ‘the acts relating to the issues of United States Government bonds, the terms of the prospectuses put forth on the negotiations | of the loans, and the official interpretations ‘of the authorizing acts, and reaches the fol- lowing conclusions :— | We have thought it best, in discussing a sub- ject of this importance, to quote the actual | words on the documents referred to, and of the authorities cited. We prefer to leave our

readers thus free to form their own judgment,

on the statements placed before them. But no doubt is left on our minds as to what sub- scribers to the American funded loans, be- ‘lieved they were entitled to receive. They had paid a full price in the value of gold coin, | the coin mentioned in the prospectus to each loan, and they justly expect to receive the use of “‘gold coin” in return. The remonetization | of silver by the United States will undoubt- |edly have the effect of raising the value of ' silver over the whole world, and there may be {eventually asmaller difference between the | value of silver and gold than that which exists at the present moment. Silver may come again to hold the proportional value in refer- /ence to gold that it did\some years since. And ‘in that case the American bondholders, even if | paid in silver dollars, might experience no in- ‘jury. But that is not the question. The | question is one of justice, and of a stipulated | payment being made as it was stipulated. To i fail in any respect in the performance of this | would injure, and to a greater degree than ‘can readily be imagined, the credit of the United States; more than this, such an act would lower the credit of representative in stitutions over the world. From every point of view we should feel a deeper regret than we can well express if the Government of @e United States failed in the slightest degree to perform its duty to its creditors. ; > Wendell Phillips once, as he expected to be

called upon to speak at a religious meeting, ‘nudged Frothingham and said, ‘You speak, I don’t know anything about theology. I don’t know the Ten;Commandments, ”

NO,

Over-Emigration to the States.

| In a letter to the Board of Trade, Mr. E. | Winslow, the General Agent of the Boston (U. 8S.) Industrial Aid Society, states that in consequence of the false representations of the steamship agents that men and we- men are much wanted in Boston at high wages, many persons have given up good situations and become paupers in that place. Mr. Winslow had been, therefore, requested by the managers of the Society tu write to the Board of Trade and aseertain the best way to counteract the false repre- seutations of those who only care to ebtain the passage Inoney or a commission. The Keho, commenting on the matter, thinks that with the exception of ‘strips of land” near the River Congo, in Africa, there seems now to be no field left, anywhere, for emigration.

TERRIBLE REALIZATION OF A MOTHER'S DKRAM, Sr. THomas, Que., March 21.—The family of Mrs. Connell, of this town, have suffered in a heartrending manner during the past fort- night. Jesse McConnell, brakeman, was killed ten days agoat Harwich, by falling be- tween the cars, and was bronght home ter- ribly mangled. The mother took it to heart, and it was feared would lose her reason. After partially recovering, she dreamt she saw two coffins, in which were her two sons, and fear- ing for the safety of the other, also a brake- man, she telegraphed to him, asking if he was all right, and wishing him to come home. He replied he was all right, and would be home in the morning, and intended to quit railroad- ing. Onhis return trip he was crushed to death coupli:g cars at Brighden. The body was brought home the night before last, and buried yesterday. The two daughters are almost helpless, and it is not expected the mother will recover her reason, The deepest sympathy is felt for the family in their ter- rible calamity., and is being manifested in a tangible way hy the citizens generally.

KRUPP.

A summary of the annual report for 1877 of the gigamtic manufactories belonging to the renowned firm of Krupp, at Essen, has just been published. The refined and cast steel fabrication employs no less than 8,500 men, 298 steam engines, with about 11,000 horse power, and 77 steam hammers. Every twenty four hours it turns ont two and a half German miles of railway rails together with a corres- ponding amount of wheels, springs, axes, and the metal work of the carriages. So much is done by this famous firm in the service of peace. For war business it every month com- pletes 300 cannon of diverse calibre. Since 1847 it has turned out more than 15,000 can- non. Twenty-one thousand gas flames are lighted every night. A railway of 37 miles in length, employing 24 locomotives and 700 cars, facilitates the internal intercourse, and the es- tablishment contains 44 telegraph stations within its boundary. Apart from its stupen- dous manufactres, the firm employs 5,300 workmen in its mineral works, in coal oar. The forges of the firm are served by 700 work- men. Messrs. Krupp have built 3,277 dwel- ling houses, which are at present inhabited by 16,2000 persons; including work people and their families, and 22 shops for groceries, meat shops, furniture, and similar daily needs. It has provided for education by the erection of four elementary schools of 21 classes, and i- dustrial school for girls, and a school for adult women, which are visited by thousands of learners, anp provided with first-rate teachers.

Tue Carzt War. —A telegram from Ibeka says that Captain Upcher’s column was at- tacked at daylight, on the 7th inst. , by Kreli and Sandiilli, The Caffres, who were in three divisions of 3,000 men, were entirely routed, losing 200 men. This is. believed to be the most decisive fight that has yet, occurred, Kreli having fed and Sandilli . ing pursued. Captain Charles Boyes. has been killed im the Chichaba bush Gonga- bele has been driven back by the Burgher © forses and seriously wounded. Forty men» fivmg to the Outas location were met by Lieutenant Tripp and every one shot.

Startling news comes from Battleford. It would seem that Sitting Bull is employing his ingenuity in forming a confederation of Siowz, Blackfeet aud Cree Indians, with a view to in- augurating an active campaign so soon as the weather will permit. Sitting Bull is evidently bent on mischief,and we would recommend the Government, as the last means of preventing trouble, to dispose of him to Barnum ata reasonable tigure.

The Rev. C. A, Leveson, of /St. George's, Camden Hill, London, assigned his ‘péw rents and fees as a security for a loan of $4,800. Subsequently his affairs came into liquidation, and the Registrar of the Bankruptcy Court, Mr. Spring Rice, decided, upon the applica- tion of the trustee, that the assignment was of no force, as the pew-rents could not be'at- tached. The Court of Appeal confirmed the opinion o} the Registrar.

Anderson, of Returning Board notoriety, has been released by the action of the Supreme Court of Louisiana upon a technicality. It seems that he was accused of trifling with the Vernon parish returns, and was convicted of forging er altering the ‘‘consolidated ”’ re- turns.

A dispatch from Montreal announces that ‘John Phelan, Lachine Canal Contractor, who on ‘Thursday last drew $12,000 in Ottawa to pay his men on the canal, has undoubtedly absconded with the money, leaving about 200 poor laborers without a cent of their last month’s wages.

Cooper, Fairman & Co., of Moutreal, have put their estate inso insolvency. They owe everybody they had dealings with, and left the Banque du Peuple for $5,000.

“Tom Collins” has been heard trom, He keeps a tavern in Toronto, and O'Donovan

Rossa was his guest during the recent riot,
