ed CUR NEW STUDIO,
we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Puootocrapus of a Style and Quatily that has never been befare allempled in this Cily.
We have on exhibition, at our Kooms, a lar;e number of Photograps «of every var et’, including the
EBAUTIFUL PHITO- ENAMEL
he most beautiful styie of Photograph known, possessing a softness aud delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, anu cannot fail to be- eome so here.
Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelied, we would direct alttea- tion to the beaultitul
Glaece Pictures
which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, snd will retain their freshness and beauty fur any length of time. I[f they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will vot 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 cao bave 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 Fam:lies, Societies, Schools, &c
Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult ranch of our art.
Our ¢NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyou, Oil and 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, a8 the number of our cu :tomers makes some delay iu the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have eur sitters come by appointment.

Lecturers’ Fees.
The fees of prominent lecturers, according to figures furnished by the American Literar Bureaa, are as follows : Gough, $250; Beecher, $300 to $600 ; Tilton, $150 ; Eli Perkins, $100; Phillips, $200; Scott Siddons, $150; Bret Harte, $125; Bayard Taylor, $125. Reduc- tions are, however, made from these figures for small towns. Beecher is worth $300 simply because he will draw that amount. Gough will draw $190, Anna Dickinson will draw $125; Mark Twain will draw $150; Eli Per- kins will draw $125, and Mrs. Scott Siddons is worth $150, Readers are not worth as much as original thinkers, simply because they are not original. They are copies. They simply read what the dramatist or humorist has writ- ten. Their material is not fresh.

Great Suffering—Fifteen Thousand People in the Snow.
Loupon,, Monday, Jan. 2lst, 1878.—A des- patch from Constantinople yesterday, to the ‘* Daily Telegraph” says :—
Mr. Master, agent for the English Relief Fund, has just arrived here with a train full of refugees from Adrianople. These unhappy people have been in open cattle trucks three days. Many perished from cold weather. Last night fifteen were found dead in the trucks. The sufferings of all are described as awful. Mothers are reported in their frenzy to have thrown away their living babies rather than to see them die in their arms. As the train moved from Adrianople numbers of people tried to cling to the outside and framework of the carriages, and many attempted to ride on the buffers.
At one station, where hundreds of people had congregated without food for two days, the men threatened Mr. Masters with violence if bread was not given them. Yesterday there were 15,000 women and children out in the snow atChorlon. Three trains full are hourly expected at Constantinople. It is not known where they will find shelter. The snow is several inches deep and is still falling; the cold is intense. All that can possibly be done is aflected by the administrators of the relief fund, but many lives are being sacrificed.
a
Mehemet Ali on England and Russia.
Mehemet Ali recently spoke as follows to the correspondent of the London Times at
and Russia :—
“You might land thirty thousand men at once, and in a month or two thirty thousand more, and you might possibly bring from India an equal number, and so throw into the field a final force of one hundred and twenty thousand men. Now, sucha force would have been invaluable as an adjunct, altogether apart from the splendid moral support which Eng- land could have rendered us ; but I am not dis- posed to think that such a force will be able to stand against the Russian armies when we— who would have fought side by side with Eng- and—are exhausted.
“The true issues of this war, and the true motives of Russia in making it, have been
front deal more than those who have talked. There are two motives assigned to Russia. One is that she was roused to enthusirsm by the spectacle of the oppression of a race kind- red with her own, and the other that she made war to acquire territory. I am not ready to deny the existence of a popular sentiment
the history of wars when a Cabinet has taken advantage of a popular phrenzy and turned the tide of popular excitement to work its own mill and grind its own political grist.
‘* Russia wants no present increase of _ terri- tory. Her object in making this war was to establish herself in the opinion of Europe as a great military power, and, therefore as a de- sirable ally. Hadshe crushed Turkey with the rapidity and ease she looked for, she could have made overtures to France and Germany, and would certainly have expected France and Germany to make overtures to her, one outbid- ding the other until the price she had fixed upon herself should be reached. In accordance with tha failure of one or of her programme may proceed the growth of another; but I do not believe that the demands of Russia will in- clude a yard of Turkish territory. Her pro- mises in thatregard were made to conciliate Europe, and she dare not break them even if she would.
‘** But Russia’s political game was never so shallow as to induce her to play for a mere bit of added European territory. She played for
eater stakes. She desired to prove herself formidable, and to secure an ally combined with whom she might become dominant in Europe and Asia. Russia’s policy is never on the surface ; the roots of that policy lie deep, and she stretches cunning hands toward the future.”
Some three thousand nnemployed workin men of Boston, claiming to represent 75, others, have had a procession to the City Hall and asked Mayor Pierce to relieve them. They were not in the least turbulent, holding a | quiet mass meeting on the Common and dis- ‘playing a banner inscribed on one side, ‘‘ No ' limitation to popular suffrage ; no extension of : terms of office,” and on the other, ‘‘On the ‘employment of labor depends the safety of the | republic, for hunger knows no law.” Their ,address to Mayor Pierce asked that the city take measures to employ the unemployed, and to support those whom it cannot employ, bor- |rowing the money for the purpose, Mayor | Pierce dissented emphatically from this pro- | position, but said he would do what he could ‘to furnish work to deserving men who belong in Boston, when the city needed work done.
| The Liverpool Post’s London correspondent | telegraphs :—The opinion is gaining und 'that general election for mem of Parlia- | ment is near, and that Conservative managers ‘are already preparing. Therefore,secretaries of different Conservative associations have been in town during last week, consulting with va- | rious members of the Government. They re- | part strongly in favor of dissolution.

|The Deadly Embrace of a Cuttlefish.
_ Early last August a party of Cape Flattery | or Makaw Indians, returning from a visit to |their friends (the Songish of Victoria), en- , camped the first afternoon out on the beautiful Bay of Metchosen, V. I. The weather being very fine, most of the party went bathing, and among the number a maiden of perhaps eighteen summers, who had accompanied her grand- father on the trip. Desiring seclusion, she went round a point away from the other bathers, and being known as a bold swimmer, 18 supposed to have taken a header into deep water. However taken, it proved to have been a plunge into the arms of death, for when the swimmers reassembled around the camp. fire the girl was missed, and, notwithstanding a diligent search that evening, could not be found. The following morning, with sad hearts, the party left ; But very soon those in the foremost canoe, on rounding the first point saw (the water being calm and clear) a human body as if seated on the sandy lea bottom, with what seemed like a flour bag immediately behind it. The natives knew what this meant,
As soon as the canoes got together, two of the most active young men managed with daggers so to disable the monster (for it was a gigantic devilfish), that the octopus, with its victim, was brought to the surface. The foregoing facts have been communicated to our. inform- ant by an intelligent and respectable half
breed woman from Metchosen, who saw the body of the drowned girl with some of the pre- hensiles of the mollusk still adhering to it.
She compared the head of the octopus in size to that of a fifty-pound flour sack, full; the said tentacles were twelve in number, of dif- ferent sizes, and the largest about the circum- caren ofa man’sarm, Victoria (C. B. ) Col- onist.

Truth asserts that there is not a vestige o doubt that if Lord Beaconsfield had his own way England would have declared war against Russia last year, and that he is endeav. oring to drift England into a declaration of war now. The fact that consols rose one-quarter upon a report that Lord Beaconsfield had re. signed is worthy of serious consideration.

A MAN IN THE River FOR THREE-QUARTERS or AN Hour.—The ice in the vicinity of the Kennebeccasis has for the past week been eon. sidered very dangerous. Many parties have received cool baths, free, in consequence of the many air-holes in that direction. Yesterday morning, Mr. Cronk, of Portland, while skat- ing, ran into an air-hole directly opposite Sand Point, and after laboring for upwards of three quarters of an hour to get himself out of his uncomfortable position, his cries for help were heard by Mr. John Souther, and his cousin and Mr. Davy, who had also been skating. As the ice near the air-hole was unsafe, it waa with the greatest difficulty that Cronk was taken from the water, and for some time afterwards the man was utterly uneonscious of his situa- tion. Mr. Cronk was immediately taken to Mr. Hannah’s, at Milledgeville, whee’ he was furnished with a fine warm suit of clothes and some brandy.—St. John News.
