jiberai 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 thal has never been before allempled in this Cily.

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 equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu'ar @isewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we wouid direct aiten- tion to the beaptitul

Csrzlace’

which we make, They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become sviled 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 presente; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cau 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 Fam:lies, Societies, Schools, &¢

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

Our sf NLARGEMENTS, finished in India! Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them

The Channel! fleet, Lord John Hay on the Minofaur in command, which has been ordered to Gibraltar, is as follows :—

The two fleets aggregate .25 iron-clads, 242 guns of the heaviest calilyre, 179,261 tons, and 129,679 horse power—by far the most. colossal armada the world has yet seen. They are accompanied by a number of steel corvettes of great speed, and gun- boats. ee Wihilism.

AccorprxG to some accounts the Nihilist conspiracy prevades all classes in Fussia to nn alarming extent, anda large proportion of the Russian soldiers belong to it. The Nihilists would abolish all property and marriage, and destroy ail existing sysiems of Government, and is is said that one of their doctrines is that the existence of man- kind should cease when those now in the world have all died. Two hundred persons of ali ranks, and of both sexes, were ar- rested some time ago charged with belonging to this dreaded society, and at a trial lately held about twenty were convicted. The others were liberated : -

“The gethod was the same everywhere. In the case of workmen and peasants, stress was‘ laid on the insufficiency of the land allotted to the latter under the Emancipa- tion Act, and on the severity of taxation ; and it was pointed out that if the possess- ors of land among the upper classes were massacred, peasants and workmen might have laid im _ plenty without being taxed at all. To persons higher up in the social scale, the plotters enlarged on the sufferings of the people and represented the economical position as hopeless, adding that there was no escape for them except through a revolution and the destruction of the present political system. These ideas were promulgated, not only among doctors, law- yers, mechanics, peasants, but among the priests and army officers: They were whis- pered, not only in the universities, the tech- nological institutes and the workhouses, but im the ecclesiastical seminaries and the mili- tary schools of the Empire. In ;the army, both Nihilism and Pan-Slavism prevail, al- though, in truth, the officers are said to bother themselves less about the latter than is generally supposed. The officers of the Russian army consist of three classes : The upper ranks, which are filled from the terri- torial gentry; the regimental officers, noble by reason of their parents’ service; and thase promoted from the ranks. Ali of these, no matter what their rank, who trouble them- selves about politics are either Nihilists or Pan-Slavists. The former, like all Nihilists, believe that whatever is systematic in human affairs must come down, and Nothing is to rule a prostrate universe. They condemn all philosophies, and systems, religions and Governments. They say nine are perfect, and so dismiss them all. What they hope for is the ultimate triumph of Nothingism. Their motto is that of Danton, Destrue! The Chief of the staffof the Czarowitch, writes one correspondent, ‘‘is Pan-Slavic to an enthusiastic degree.”

Another correspondent goes so far as to say ‘‘regimental officers are Nihilists to a man.” So extensive have been these ideas that it is believed by many Russians that the war with Turkey alone prevented a re- voluion at home.

‘‘The trial just terminated, notwithstond- ing that a very few of those indicted were convicted, may, and undoubtedly will, lead lead to substantial results. The sate of the convicted ones will, in all probability, be banishment to Siberia. In the meantime

reparations ate goingon at Odessa and Moscow for the trials of several hundred

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 silters come by appointment,

Photographs can be otWained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask | that quality be given the preference; as- | suring the public that they will fiad our!

eharges very moderate.

others charged with like political offences

against their country.”

-_—-—---- — i>

The Sioux are believed to be endeavoring to form an alliance with all the Northern Indian tribes of the United States, in order to wage a war of extermination against the whites.

A petition was presented in the United States Senate afew days ago, asking that steps be taken to relieve the famine-stricken people of the Northern Provinces of China, and that the unexpended balance of the money received from that country in 1856 be used for that purpose.

Interesting to Lumborers. Some interesting experiments in lumber- ing have been or will be tried in Kent Co. | during the present season. We hear of the |heaviest operators in the woods of that | county bringing their supplies of grain, hay, 'etc., used in the lumber camps of the coun- ty, from a great distance, instead of buying in the county, where prices are too high for them. Hay, for instance, is taken into the county from Shepody, in Albert County, being conveyed by rail the whole distance, and landed at Weldford station several dol- lars per ton cheaper than the farmers of the county would have sold for. Oats. are brought from Ontario and laid down at Weldford or Ferris station, at several cents per bushel cheaper than they can be bought for in the county. The Ontario oats are lighter in weight than the oats of Kent, and very much lighter than the grain bought orf P. E. Island. They have very thin hall, however, and possibly they yield as .much meal as the home-grown grain. Another new feature in the logging in this quarter is the use thag has been or will be made of the I. C, Railway to carry logs from one point to another. Thns, Mr. Edward Walker, whose mill is on Bass River, logs to some extent in Acadieville, and has arranged for a quantity of his logs to be transported by rail, about eight miles, and thrown into the Bass River. Again, Mr. George MeLeod transports a quantity of logs about three or four miles south, and dumps them imto the Konchibouguacis.— Moncton Times.

Vat Lorp Patmzrston Sarp in 1855. —* The intention of Russia to partition Turkey is manifest as the sun at noonday, and it is to prevent that we are contending, Such is the object of the war, and not only to defend Turkey, the weak against the strong, but to avert injury and danger frem ourselves. Let no man imagine that if Turkey is destroyed by Russia, and that gigantic Power strides like a colossus from the Baltic on the one hand, to the Mediter- ranean on ths other, let no man suppose the great interests of this country would not be in peril; let nos the peace-at-all-price party imagine that their commercial inter- ests would not be deeply injured. Trade would soon disappear were the Mediterra- nean aud Baltic under the command of a Russian naval force, and that power exer- cising a dominant control.”

Sixty millions of dollars’ worth of Ameri- can bonds, returned to the United States within the last few weeks in consequence of the silver robbery, means sixty millions of European capital withdrawn from the conti- nent, and thousands of workmen thrown out of employ. There are about $400,030,- 000 of American national securities held in Europe. If the national faith be broken, the major part, or perhaps nearly all of these bonds will be sent back instead of money, in payment for American produce. Hundreds of thousands of people mast be at work upon this borrowed capital, and all their industries must cease if the money is withdrawn.

A method of engraving on glass with elec- tricity has been described by M. Plante. A concentrated solution of nitrate of potash is poured upon the surface of a plate of glass or crystal until the surface is covered with it. A horizontal platinum wire connected with one of the poles of a secondry battery of fifty or sixty elements is placed in the liquid along the edges; then holding in the hand the other electrode (insulated except at the end), figures or characters of any kind which may be described with the ends on the glass will be found to be clearly en- graved.

Mr. Walker, of Mitchell, Ont , who is a great pigeon fancier, and is in possession of several valuable birds, a short time ago took home from Toronto a very handsome ‘‘car- rier.” When he thought it sufticiently ‘‘naturalized” he let it out with his other pigeons, but it at once flew high up into the air, made afew circles, and then made a ‘‘bee line” for Toronto. It arrived at its old home in a little less than three hours from the time it started.

It is said by scientitic men that the mus- cles of the human jaw exerta force of exactly 534 pounds. Experiment in this matter, however, leaves room for doubt. We have known a jay to turn a four-storey house upside down and render it logically impossible for any member of the family to accept Mr. Beecher’s doctrine of universal salvation.

Wo are asked to believe that ‘‘Old Hard Times” is about taking his departure from Canada, we suppose to oblige the Mackenzie Government, which is much endangered by his long protracted stay. This is the Grit political view of the spresent situation, but 1s it the business view.

The crew of Columbia College is in active training for the contest in June, against Ox ford and Cambridge, on the Thames. They have adopted the stroke which was intro- duced from Cambridge in 1873, and is sub- stanually the same as that used by the Eng- lish crews, : . _ The Khediye of Egypt is said to be ruin- ing himself by,extravagances. He sustains upwards of ‘ont palaces. Each of the princes of the blood also. has his separate palace and retinue of servants, and tho horses in the stables of the father and song are numbered by hundreds.

Changes some like the seasons. The man who last year lay in bed while his wife built the fire, will this year let his wife build the fire while he isin bed. Thus marriage de- votion is rewarded.
