THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 239 June Gth, and the place selected was Meiklour, near Perth. A committee was named to carry out arrangements. Mr. George D. Valentine, who has just returned from a tour round the world, exhibited a collection of beautiful photograph landscapes by Lindt, of Melbourne ; Burton, Dunedin ; Spencer, Tauranga ; Hart and Campbell, Invercargill; large views of the Yosemite Valley, San Francisco, by Watkins; some exquisite portrait work by Morris, Dunedin; beautifully coloured lantern slides, by M‘ Allister, New York. They were all much admired, and gave ample proof that the brethren at the Antipodes and other parts of the globe are not behind-hand in the race for per fection. An interesting meeting was brought to a close by a vote of thanks to Mr. Valentine for his exhibits, and congratulations on his safe return home; also the usual vote to the chair. Photographers’ Benevolent Association. The Board of Management held their usual monthly meeting at 181, Aldersgate Street, on the 4th inst. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. Kobert Higgs was proposed, seconded, and duly elected a member of the Association. After disposing of the other business, the meeting adjourned until May 2; at 8 o’clock. Halifax Photographic Club. The usual monthly meeting was held at the Courier Office, April 3rd, Mr. J. B. Holboyde in the chair. The minutes of last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. J. E. Jones read a paper on his photographic experiences, in the course of which he took occasion to complain of the defects and failures he had met with in dry plates, exhibiting several negatives in illustration of defects. On writing to the makers, he could obtain no more satisfactory reply than that the fault was not in the plates, which were perfect when they left the works, but were due to the operator. The Chairman and several of the members also spoke of the bad quality of various plates, exhibited in spottiness, unevenness of film, &c.; an! it was suggested that the Club should obtain a batch of plates from various makers, try them, and report on their qualities. Mr. Bulmer and Mr. Councillor Smith made some remarks on the making of emulsion, and their mat and glazed appearances. Mr. W. C. Williams exhibited a very fine album containing many very choice prints of views in N. Wales, Tintern Abbey, Kirkstal and Fountains Abbeys ; also his new camera stand and carriage, which was now complete—a very ingenious contri vance. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Jones for his interesting paper. Lalk in the Studin. Note-Book of Photography.—Mr. Openshaw, of Manchester, sends us a neat little book for noting exposures and other details connected with camera work out-of-doors. Mr. Open shaw tells us it is “acknowledged by the first London and Manchester firms to be the most compact out; ” so that all we need do here, is to congratulate him on this fact. “ No. 1.”—Messrs. Marion and Oo. forward us some very good portraits of Mr. P. J. Tynan, “ the No. 1 who escaped the police authorities and went to Mexico.’’ How about the No. 1 who went to market, and the other No. I who stayed at home? These are questions one feels inclined to ask on looking at the No. 1 that went to Mexico. In any case, many will like to possess a portrait of the suspected No. 1, and copies of this, Messrs. Marion and Co. tell us, they are quite ready to supply. An Old Story Retailed.—It is a little too bad to take in our old friend the "Cimes so often as they do. Everybody knows its old-fashioned plodding style and its quaint predilection for news that is some days old, but there is surely no reason why it should be made the literary butt of every wag in the kingdom. The following “Curate’s Adventure,’’ which appeared in the columns of “ our leading journal,” as it is sometimes ironically styled, will be recognized withits new tag,” an “Instantaneous Photograph (cabinet size),” by many of our readers. Here it is. A correspondent informs us of a romantic incident which has recently occurred in a prosperous London suburb. A devoted young High Church curate of interesting appearance and great popularity in his district was waited upon by a young lady of considerable attractions, but with an air of deep melancholy, and clad in a somewhat ascetic garb. After some confusion and the shedding of a tear she revealed to him that she had ventured to visit him on a matter deeply affecting her happiness, she feared her life. The curate naturally asked what it might be, but after several attempts to speak, choked by sobs, she informed him that the matter was one of such deep importance that she could not impart it except at her own abode, where she adjured him, as her spiritual friend, by all he held sacred, to visit her. After some little conversation the reverend gentleman promised to do so, and the next day he called at the address given him. Then the young lady, with a look of still deeper dejection and a voice indicative of remorse and shame, revealed to him the fatal secret. She had conceived a deep, a passionate love for the curate him self. She knew, she said, that her passion was hopeless ; he, in his devotion to the Church, for which she loved him all the more, had vowed himself to a life of celibacy, and she would resignedly carry her attachment to the grave, which she felt was not far off. But there was one kindness which it was in his power to grant her, the remembrance of which would bring consolation to her dark and weary path. Would he, before they parted for ever, give her one kiss ? After some timidity and agitation, the young curate, touched with pity, complied. The lady shed another tear, bade him adieu in a hollow voice, and he departed. A few days afterwards he received a neat little parcel gracefully tied with a piece of blue ribbon, and on opening it found an instantaneous photograph (cabinet size) of himself kissing the young lady. Accompanying this was a communication from the fair creature herself that there were eleven more copies, and that he might have the whole dozen at £20 a-piece. Should he not be in want of them, it was her intention to dispose of them in another quarter. Negotiations on the subject are said to be proceeding.” On Monday, the 10th inst., at Westminster County Court, before Mr. F. H. Bayley, the judge, a case was heard iu which Mr. Alfred Taylor, an artist, sought to recover from the pro prietors of the Graphic damages in respect of a number of instantaneous photographs, which the plaintiff had taken of the ruins of Alexandria after its bombardment. The plaintiff, who claimed the sum of £25 15s., stated that in July of last year he called on the manager of the defendants, and arranged to supply them with photographs and sketches of the war in Egypt. He informed the manager that the photographs would be taken by the instantaneous process, and that they would have, upon arrival in England, to be put in the hands of a photographer to be developed. He sent three boxes with directions that the contents, containing undeveloped glass pictures, were not to be exposed to other than a ruby light. He learned, however, that they were exposed, and so rendered useless, and he sought to reciver in respect thereof. For the defence it was contended that the plaintiff never gave the manager to understand that the photographs were undeveloped, and submitted by counsel that whatever damage had been sustained was caused in transit. After a lengthened hearing His Honour expressed his opinion that the defendant’s manager was not made aware of the fact that the photographs were undeveloped, and found therefore in their favour, with costs. Silvering Mirrors by Means of Glycerine.—Prof. Palmieri has devised a process for silvering glass by means of the reducing action on the salts of silver, which is said to have the advantage of producing a very brilliant metallic deposit. When into an ammoniacal solution of nitrate of silver is poured, first a little caustic potash, and then a few drops of glycerine, the reduction begins at once ; and this action is accelerated if ether or alcohol be added to the mixture. A moderate heat and darkness are said to increase the brilliancy of the precipitate, and darkness also favours the adhesion to the mirror of the deposit. In MEMORIAN.—We regret to have to record the death of Mr. Joseph Wake, who for over ten years has acted as chief of our artistic staff. He was a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art, and of the Hogarth Ciub, London ; and was person ally known to so large a circle of photographers, that we feel this short notice will not be considered out of place. The deceased gentleman was subject to periodical attacks of bleeding from the nose, which became more and more difficult to arrest, and left him at times in a very prostrate condition. He suc cumbed at the early age of 47 to a visitation of this nature (possibly complicated with internal hemorrhage), and expired the 20th of March after a very brief illness. Mr. Wake was a
