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 Puotocrapus 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 «f every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ZNAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegaut pictare has become deservedly popular 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 evamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, end 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 so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cao 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 Famlies, Societies, Schools, &¢

Our pictures of childien are sufficient evidence of our success in this diificult branch of our art.

Our ¢NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, 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, as the number of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Paotos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment,

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tue public that they will fad our charges very moderate.

lint Sandell ae Sir Stafford Northcote on the Himpire.

The speech of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer at Exeter on the 6th ult., was quite non- political, but towards the close he thus spoke of the empire at large :—

At this time I need not say that England re- quires, in every way that is possible, to strengthen herseli and to consolidate her pow- er. (UCheers.) lam one of those who do not take a gloomy view of the possible future; at the same time, it is impossible for any one who is in any degree charged with the conduct of public atfairs not to take a somewhat anxious view, and | believe my elf that the true safety of England, that the true line to follow for the preservation of the Empire which has been be- queathed to us, aud for its strengthening and its development, is not so much by fear and jealousy of others, but by a determin- ation to strengthen and consolidate within our- selva. (Cheers.) 1 know well, and you know well, in the time that we are able to look back upon, how many perils England has been threatened with ; how many perils she has es- caped. (Hear, hear.) You know well if you will look back over period of years, and will take a candid view of the progress of our Em- pire, that the sum of England is yet far from from having attained its limits, (Loud cheers) 1 do not say that weare to widen the physi- cal limits of the Empire toa greater extent and beyond the point to which they already stand ; but 1 say that for the consolidation of the pow- er, for the knitting together of our great colonial and indian Empire with the Mother country at home, there is an enor mous amount of work to be done; and it is in the doing of that work, and in the doing of it truly, that I look for ‘the salva. tion and the greatness and the continued pros- perity of our country. (Loud cheers.) 1 say these things, and I know when | say them | shall be toid, as I have been told, that 1 am given to take an optimist view of matters. I do not altogether know what gentlemen mean when they talk of an optimist view. If by an optimist they mean one who thinks things are as perfect as can be, and that there is no need for us to take care lest damage should come to that which we possess, then { altogether repu- diate the title as being one which 12 inapplica ble to me in every sense of the word. (Cheers. ) But if it is meant by the use of that expression to describe one who is disposed to look to the bright rather than to the gloomy side, who is disposed to give credit both to friends and to epponents for the best rather than the worat motives that can be put upoz their conduct, — if these are the ideas which are associated with tie word optimist, then [ can candidly confess that J claim to be an optimist. (Hear, hear.) I believe that it is only by going about one’s work in a spirit of cheerfulness and help- fulness, in a spint of readiness to acknowledgs the good which we see, and to be ready rather to develop the good than to distress ourselves about the possibility of evil, | believe that it is only in that way that the real good work of statesmauship is to be done, and 1 believe my- self that is the spirit in which English states- men should endeavor to act. Ladies and gen- tlemen, I have but one word more to say, and it is this, that if I could have been other than an optimist before, you would have made me one to-night, and if you could have wished to discourage and to prevent me, it wonld not have been.the right course to ‘pursue to have given me such a dinner and such a reception a3 you have done me the honor to give me this evening. (Great cheers, amidst which the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat).

The children of Lord and Lady Duiferin, as- sisted by the members of their Excellencies’ Suite, have produced every year, at Rideau Hall, for the entertainment of their friends, young and old, what is called ‘‘the Childrens’ Christmas Play.” This year the play -was ‘“*Fifine, the Fishermaid.” The Hon. Terrence

iackwood, one of Lord Dufferin’s little boys, spoke an epilogue composed for the occasion. it ended as follows :—

The years have slipped away so very fast

his fairy tale, sad to say, is our last.

Beiore another merry Christmas Day,

ihe Company will all have gone away ;

And ocean will divide our little band

from all but memory of your kindly land,

And when we meet again in after years,

Some may be Generals and some Premiers,

seme Nobodies ; for some, you know, must be.

There’il be no Ogres, though I clearly see,

Ore thing is certain:—we shall all have grown;

And some, perhaps, have fairies of our own.

But, still, we'll not forget, though old and tail,

The Clillren’s Christmas Play, at Rideau Hall.

—— -——~<*# oe Pearls of Truth.

We learn by what we suffer.

The wisest man has a foolish corner in his head.

Observe when others are suffering and drop a word of kindness.

Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop

han when we soar.

There is no philosophy that can convince a man to the contrary when he knows he is hun- gry.

A little trade with profits is better than a great concern at a loss; a small fire that warms you is better than a large one that burns you.

A curious case came up before a Dublin court the other day, which arose out of the fact that the sum of £1,500 had been be- queathed by a gentleman to his daughter, but she had died during her minority, and a difii- culty arose as to how to dispose of the legacy. it turned out that there was not in all English law practice a precedent for the case, and it was finally decided that the money should be held by the trustees until the period at which, if the girl were alive, she would attain 2] years of age, and that it should then be paid over to her legal representatives without inter- est.

A gigantic whale was captured in February last in the Gulf of Taranto, Italy, and Profes- sor Capellina, an expert who has been at work upoa the subject ever since, has just published a report in which he declares that it is of a species hitherto unknown to science. This unlooked for discovery of a new variety of huge marine animal is regarded as a strong argument in favor of the existence of the monsters popularly called *‘ sea-serpents,” and the opinion 1s gaining ground in Italy that the monster recently seen by the royal yacht Osborne was some creature usually living at the bottom of the sea, but disturbed by violent submarine outbreaks.

A Covington, Ky., correspondent tells this : A country merchant visited the city a few days ago, and going to Cincinnati, purchased from a dollar storea table-caster, which he took home with him, and after putting a tag on it marked **$14,” made it a present toa Methodist preacher whose church his family attended. The reverend gentleman took the package home and examined the contents. The next day he brought the castor (with the tag attached) back to the groceryman, and said to him: “Iam teo poor in this world’s goods to afford to display so valuable a castor on my table, and if you have no objection I should like to return it, and take $14 worth of groceries for my family in its stead.” The merchant could do nothing but acquiesce ; but fancy his feelings.

A New Orprr,—The scoffers who could see no value in the addition of the ‘Empress of India” to her Majesty’s titles, will be silenced by the fact that it has been used for the crea- tion of a new Order—the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, which it is intended to confer upon ladies only. All the Princesses and eight Indian Highnesses have already been decorated. What the insignia are to be we do not know, but we presume not that of another celebrated order of knighthood, which derives its name, if we remember rightly, from a freak

of the Merry Monarch. ,
