OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we bave now increased facilities tor the production of tirst-class work, and are prepared to make Puotocaapus of a Slyle and Quality that has never been before altempled tn this City.

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

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ENAMEL

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

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

Glace’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, und will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. [f they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuadie quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them yery suitable for presents; 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, &c Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art. “Qur ¥NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, 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 advantage to sit early, a8 the number of our cu itomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment. Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; bul in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne public that they will flad our

eharges very moderate.

Canadian Exports.

THE London Correspondent of the Muil, speaking of Canadian exports to England, remarks ;—

Well as Canadian cheese is thought of, and much as I see it advertised by dealers in Lon- don and elsewhere, I would warn Canadian dairymen that our butter is getting a most un- unenviable name, The North British Agricultur- ist condemns it in no measured terms. A cor respoudent says, ‘‘it is butteriue, made from fat, petroleum, &c.” Now, I think it is about time a paternal Government stepped in and enforced some sort of inspection and grading and branding of the stuff exported as butter. The market here for good butter is practically as unlimited as the means of producing it are in Canada. Last year butter to the value of £1,637,939 was imported into Great Britain. The best Canadian butter as now _ pro- duced is only worth from 95s. to 100s. per cwt. of 112 lbs. Schleswig-Holestin butter is quoted at 1493, and Cork butter at 162s. Surely our pastures are not to be subjected to the charge of produeing inferior butter, when every far- mer has on his own table butter that will com- pare with the best to be seen here. Givea dog a bad name, you may as well hang him. Depend on it Canadian butter for many a long day yet will stink in the nostrils of English hoisekeepers. It is mortifying to think that a few unprincipled scoundrels have it in their power effectually to damn a very important trade that might be protitably and legitimately i hear that some speculators from Prince Edward Island have made a serious loss by importing potatoes to London; the reason being simply that they were of an inferior sort and shipped in bad order. Others have made avery good thing of the venture. It is not worth while to export from Canrda anything but the very best of its kind. On that there is a sure profit.

A 2. a oe ———— How They Swore on the “ North- ern Light.”

Describing the Commons debate on the merits of the ‘‘Northern Light,” the Ottawa letter of the Halifax Herald says: ‘‘ Mr. Plumb now rises and reads from a MSS. re- port just brought down to the House, a most ludicrous series of extracts from let- ters and telegrams addressed to the Marine and Fisheries Department by Mr. Sewell and Mr. Finlayson—I think this last is the right name. It appears that Sewell went on the boat, with captain and crew, who all seem to be: cn; in a most inharmonious manner. Sewell wildly telegraphs that the captain looks on him as an ‘ intruder.’ Then somebody telegraphs that ‘‘ the mate swears at Sewell.’ Again follows a wild delara-

on that ‘Sewell is swearing at the crew.’ Then the report goes on, amid the amuse- ment of the House, to show that the vessel is so bad that not only has the ice to be cut away in front of her, but also the jackscrew has to be used on her stern to propel her along. There appears to have been a state of menace and mutiny on board the ‘‘Nerth- ern Light,” and, as Mr. Plumb very pro- perly says, if the vessel were a miracle of model and build, she could hardly succeed while managed by such a lot of lunatics and blasphemers. The debate has taken up the whole afternoon, the cost of which, added to the cost of the boat, will materially en- large the loss to the countay.

A Tragedy.

Orrawa, Feb. 25.—The particulars of a terrible tragedy which occurred at one of the Upper Ottawa shanties in the early part of the week have reached the city. It eee a man named Pierre Berchand was the lead- ing teamster in a shanty in the Township of Ammond, Pontiac County, and on Tuesday last wished to show his companions the su- periority of his horses over theirs. this object in view, he started off at an un- usual pace, when a man named Joseph Langevin, in charge of the second team, protested, and told Berchand that unless he drove slower he would beat him. He paid no attention to the threat and allowed his horses to continue on at the same pace. This irritated Langevin and he attacked Berchand, dealing him several blows in the face with his fists. During the scuffle Ber- chand seized a pike-pole and struck his an- tagonist a heavy blow on the arm, hoping by this means to cool his temper. It , however, the reverse effect, and caused him to renew the attack. Berchand all the while held the pike-pole in his hand, and, when his assailant made the second attempt to strike him, dealt him a heavy blow which split open his head and knocked him sense- less to the ground. Medical aid was sent for, but long before assistance arrived the unfortunate man had expired, the wound being of such a severe character that Lan- gevin lived but three hours after the blow. Berchand surrendered himself to the con stables and was lodged in the Aylmer jail. He will stand his trial before Judge Bour- geeis, at the next Assizes, which opens at Aylmer on the Ist of July next. Berchand appears to feel his position keenly, and is in very low spirits. He asserts that it was an acoident, and that he had ne idea the result would be so terrible.

him of

(From our Special Parliamentary Corres-

pondent. ) Orrawa, Feb. 23,

The following is the continuation of our Correspondent’s review of Dr. Tupper’s speech on Mr. Cartwright’s budget :—

THE GAUNTLET TAKEN UP.

_ Now, I am quite prepared to accept the issue which the hon. gentleman has pro- posed here to-night as between the two parties. He says, and I am glad to know, that the time has arrived when we are going to appeal to Cesar—when it will not be in the hon. gentleman’s power much longer to defer the great arbitrament of the public sentiment of this country: und it is very important that the legitimate issues be- tween the two parties should be clearly and distinctly placed before the ;eople of Cana- da. 1am willing to allow tle hon. gentle- man to define his own positio:: and the posi- tion of his party, but, sir, I wm not willing to allow him to define our position.

THE POSITION OF THE OPPOSITION DEFINED.

We believe that the policy of fostering Can- adian industries is worthy of any party, and worthy the support of the policy “ef this country. We believe that the policy carried out as it was carried out when we were in pewer, but carried out in a broader and more extensive manner than before, will be beneficial to the people. We be- lieve that closer intercommunication between the Provinces is a policy of great import- ance,—that it is a policy of inter-provincial trade. We believe that the confederation of the British North Aroerican Provinees which has just been formed, and which has attracted, and ought to attract, the atten- tion of the world by the magnitude of the territory and the extent of its resources, will be comparatively useless, and fail in the great object its founders had in view, if there is not fonnd a method by which the commercial interests of this great country will be knit together, and a great current of inter-provincial trade established which will extend from one end of the Dominion to the other. We believe that reciprocity, which has been advocated by all parties and classes in the country, is clearly identified with the policy we have pursued and now propose to pursue.

PROTECTION AND LOW TAXES.

But, sir, the hon. gentlemen would like very nruch not only to frame his own licy—and we are quite willing that he should do so~—-but also have the advan of framing ours for us; and he accordingly has undertaken to say that the question, as he would submit it to the country, is a question of high or low taxation. He says that if the people want high taxes, let them sustain the Government of this co Well, sir, I am not disposed to allow hon. gentlemen, not only to misstate our policy, but also to misrepresent it, as that statement of the question does most grossly, andI think I will satisfy the hon. gentle- man himself—although I know that is a very difficult thing to do, when he once has made up his mind, and I am not too san- guine about that, but I think I will satisfy a good many hon. gentlemen behind the accuracy of my statement. when I say that statement must not only be withdrawn, as applied to us, but also be reversed. I will show the hon. gentleman that itis the Government of which he isa member who wants the high taxes, and that it is the Opposition and the gentlemen who sit on this side of the House, who claim to be the friends of low taxation. Now, sir, the hon. gentleman knows that the country has had some experience in that regard, and the hon. gentleman knows that under a tariff of 15 per cent., the late Government were enabled not only to pro- vide liberally for all the public services of the country, but also to provide for $16,000, 000 of current revenue for the capital expenditure of Ca- nada, reducing the debt of this country by that much during the period we were im power. The hon. gentleman knows that not only is that the case, but we further reduced the taxation upon the people about a million per annum, and that although our tariff was only a 15 per, cent. tariff, we made, as I stated before, fea and coffee free. He knows, sir, that instead of sim sitting down and taking things as y were, the course of the Jate Government was a course not only of prosperity, but of a great condition ef progress. He knows that the Northwest was brought into this country, and that British Columbia was ae- quired, that Prince Edward Island was then made part of the Confederation. The hon, gentleman knows that he himself has told in the most authentic manner we have not only provided for all the necessary and in- cidental services of this country ; but that we also had at the same time to provide for

Petersburg, which is announced to take 5

the large, extraordinary, additional and ial outlays, that took place at the same time, and yet the lowest taxes that were. ever enjoyed by the people of Canada were: enjoyed under the adminittration of the. gentlemen, that he would fain lead the coun-
