we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Puotocrapus of a Slyle and Qualily that has never been before allempled 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 beautifal style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu'ar elsewhere, and caunot fail to be- come so here.

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

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, snd will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time, If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet, ‘This valuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming 80 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.

Our Washington Letter.

Wasurxeton, D. C., Feb. 16, 1878. The great fete given by the Spanish Min- ister and Madame Mantilla on the occasion of the marriage of their King, Alphanso, was the most brilliant of any that has been given at the Capital this season ; and next in magnificence comes that given by the Japanese Minister and Madame Yashida last week. These people are vastly inter- esting in themselves. They are both very small and short, and to us their faces look just alike. When she came to this country Madame Yashida wore the Japanese cos- tume and spoke English not at all, but she soon laid aside her native garb, and now speaks so well that she makes her calls with- out an interpreter. Her baby was the firat Japanese born in America, and it is taught to speak nothing but French. A glance at their home here shows their love of country and their predominant home tastes. ‘The armaments, finishings, pictures, and the like, are mostly Japanese. At the enter- tainment of which I speak the air was heavy ily perfumed, and among other curiosities was a bed-spread of quilted silk embroidered with brilliant figures of birds, flowers, and quaint geometic figures. The hostess was dressed in thick white silk embroidered in colors with flower sprays, which did not seem so appropriate or be- coming to her as do some of her toilets of real Japanese silk. Other entertainments are of daily and nightly occurrence-—brilliant ones, too, for every one will do his and her very best in the way of show, and spread and splendor from now till Ash Wednesday puts an abrupt stop to social festivities. Saturday afternoons and Tuesday evenings are now given up to the White House receptions, those on Saturday being called Mrs. Hayes’, and those in the evening Mr. Hayes’ levees. since the Patent Office tire, more than four months ago, the question of fire-proof Gov- ernment buildings has been very mach dis- cussed, but no definite step taken to place them in a non-ignitable condition. Directly after that destructive fire, the President ap- pointed a Cormiaission to examine all our public buildings, which examination, being made, resulted in the publication of the fact that not a single Government. building in this city is fire-proof. Several, like the Patent and Post Offices, are externally im- perious to heat, but even the Capitol itself is liable to partial destruction by fire, be- cause of the tons upon tons of paper stored therein, which if ignited would burn with sufficient heat to melt the roof like lead. It has been the custom for scores of years to file away Government papers in wooden cases in the attics of the various Depart- ments. In the Treasury alone there are enough of these cases, if piled six feet high and placed in arow, to reach three miles. A project is now on fvot to construct a thor- oughly fire-proof building to be used ex- pressly for the safe-keeping of all public re- cords not in current use, where they can be arranged for examination and convenient reference when needed.

The models of patents destroyed or in- volved by the fire last fall numbered 114,000, and before the debris was fairly cooled the question of restoration was raised and con- sidered. A force of 160 skilled mechanics, helpers and laborers was formed. Congress appropriated $45,000, and in less than six weeks’ time 6,206 models were restored. Ever since then the work has gene on and there are now over 10,000 models in sight that can be put into good and useful condi- tion. It is wonderful howmuch can be made from little. A mass of wheels and bars, all out of shape and melted together, which looks to a novice as much like a sewing ma- chine as a hay-rake, goes through the work- raan’s hands and comes out bright, beautiful and shapely. Another appropriation will be necessary before even this branch of the work is completed, and years will doubtless elapse before we have our Patent Office back again, ali restored ; but when it is, it will be far more perfect and splendid than ever— good out of evil.

The Papal Election.

Yesterday the collect Pro eligendo Ponti- Jice, that the Almighty may be pleased to grant a worthy pastor for the Church, was said throughout the Catholic world, and it will be repeated daily until the Conclave has chosen anew Pope. There are three modes for electing a Pope: by insplration, by compromise, and by ballot. The first is to be used when the Cardinals, by previous arrangement or otherwise, unanimously agree on one of their number. The second form consists In leaving the appointment to a committee of the Sacred College. The third is when the conclave proceeds by secret ballot. On this occasion it is pro- bable that the election will be by inspiration, as it is understood that a successor to Pius the Ninth was chosen in November last when His Holiness was believed to be in extermis. The Conclave meets ten days after the death of the Pope. As Pius the Ninth died on the 7th inst., the Conclave will meet onthe 17th. After preliminary religious services, the attendants and others are dis- missed and each Cardinal standing before the altar with his hand on the Gospels takes

the Lord before whom I shall stand at the great day of judgment, that I intend to cast my vote for him who before God I think ought to be elected.” Three scrutineers are then chosen by lot and the balloting begins, supposing that the election is not by inspir- ation. Each Cardinal is provided with a blank ballot and on this he writes the name of his candidate, affixing also a verse or motto besides a private seal by which he, but he alone, can identify the vote. Re- ceiving these, the scrutineers call out the motto and the figure of the seal and then the name of the Cardinal] for whom the bal- lot is cast. The ballots are placed in a chalice, and if two-thirds are cast for a Can- didate, he is elected; if none of the candi- dates receive two-thirds, the ballots are burned and another vote is taken. There are two ballots a day after the first,which is taken at nine oclock of the night of the meeting of the Conclave. When a Can- didate gets a two-third vote, he has to re- veal his own ballot to prove that hehas not voted for himself. All the ballots are then burned as before, and the Conclave rises, saying : ‘‘ Let the will of the Holy Ghost be done,” and spends the night in the cells set apart for the members in praying for the new Pope.

The Sacred College consists at the present time of sixty-three cardinals, viz : six of the order of bishops, forty eight of the order of priests, and nine of the order of deacons. It is generally believed that Cardial Billo has already been fixed upon as the successor of the dead Pius. He was born at Alessandria, in Italy, in 1826, and was appointed Cardi- nal in 1866. It was he who compiled the Syllabus. He is a profound scholar, and s man of vast intellectual power and great ex- perience in church government. As an crater, he has no equal in Rome; and Cavour once said of him when he was but a humble ecclesiastic, that “he could teach state-craft to Europe.” Cardinal Billo’s grandinother was an Irish lady.

Poll Outfit.

An officer in the army who was going to India to join his regiment, recently, made all his purchases at a famous West End

establishiment where the boast is that every- thing can be had there cheap and of the best. The customer was such a large buyer that the proprietor, contrary to usage, step- ped forward to thank him, and to express a hope that the officer was perfectly satisfied, and had been able to find everything he required. The captain thanked the pro- prietor, and answered :—

** Nearly all.”

“Not all?’ was the quick query of the proprietor—‘*not all? I hoped, sir, we could find you everything.”

“Why it is a little out of your line *”’

Out of our line? Not at all sir.”

“Oh, you are quite sure of that, are you ?”

**Quite certain, sir.”

“Well, then,” continued the captain, laughingly,” ‘I want a wife.”

‘Step this way sir ;” and the astonished military man followed. He went through strange labyrinths, and up and down stairs innumerable. Hn route the proprietor com- municated these facts. About three or four months prior, a beautiful, highly-eduecated girl, of good family, who had lost her pa- rents, and with them all resources, applied to him for employment, and he found her a worthy and exemplary girl. The captain saw and admired. He bought of her, and introduced himself. Uecame often, bought more, and upon inquiry found all particulars to be truthfully stated. His manners and appearance pleased the girl, and when he told her the story of how his last want had been mentioned to the proprietor of the establishment, it ended in a hearty laugh on both sides —but after the laugh they were married within three days, and she is now on her way to India. —London Miscellany. mn

A Srranas Detvsion.—Reuben Stafford, known throughout the eastern part of- Con- necticut for the past 25 years as the “‘old hermit of Wewacus hill,” died at Montville a few days ago at the age of 83. He was a steady-going mill operative until 1849, when the California mining fever turned his head, and in company with Geo. Roberis, who had a similar maggot in his brain, he began ‘hammering and blasting the flinty recks in ! the neighborhood in search of the precious ore. The two men finaliy organized a min- ing company, capitalists joined the enter- prises money flowed in and shares sold high.

ut at last the chimerical scheme, which was only sustained by the fraudulent represent- ations of one of the principal managers, broke down completely, the works were abandoned, and the ruined stockholders returned to their pursuits. Stafford, however, never awoke from his dream of sudden wealth, but built him a hut at the mouth of a mine and | spent the rest of his days in solitude, ham-

‘mering at the barren rocks and pouring over ) musty mining treaties. But age, which did / not weaken his trust, enfeebled his frame,

| and the town authorities, on the approach _of winter, mercifully removed him to the poor-house. This broke the old man’s heart, ,and he survived but a few weeks the ex- tinguishment of bis hopes.
