QUEEN VIcToRIA's FARMs.-There are
cows at Windsor which give as much as 80
quarts Of milk day. The Royal Short horn
ed herd is formed partly Of cows Of good old
families, the pedigrees of which may be seen
IN the Herd Book, partly of well-bred cows,
with three or four icrosses of the best pure
bred bulls, but not protesting 10 be Herd
Book cattle. SO far as could be observed.
there does not appear to be any material diff
ference in the milking qualities OF the older
as compared with the newer families. Nc
where can be seen more clearly in all its CON-
bined merits the unrivaled practical utility Of
the Short Horn; the dairyman's COW when in
"proft," the butchers when not in milk. Let
the doubters go and see. There are So Short
Horn cows in milk at the present time, to-
gether with ii Alderneys, Tor the supply Of
cream, milk and butter, both for Windsor
Castle and for Buckingham Palace and Os-
borne, when the Queen goes to these places.
The Shaw and Dairy Farms are exclusively
devoted to the Short Horns, under the care
of Mr.. TAFT, while the Norfolk farm, (which
is appropriated by the lovely Deyons, and the
Flemish farm, where the massive Herefords
hold their reign" are much farther from the
cattle, and both are committed to the charge
of Mr.. Brebner, under the superintendent OF
Of Maj. Gen. Hood English paper.

Imperial Portrait.

The London Telegraph thus sketches the
character of the man who now sways the
sceptre over the French people, and who rules
them with rod of iron:
"There stands the Emperor, as strange, as
remarkable, as interesting figure as any in
history. Truly the eloquent Parliamenteers
look rather small beside him. What are epi-
grams and eloquence to Paris rebuilt, Italy
liberated, Russia checked, Mexico conquered?
This man has done something, and his work,
for good and for evil, Is not over. He has
grasp, invention, audacity. The cities elect
his opponents; he appeals to France-not to
the France alone of Paris or Lyons, but to
the France of the country commune. War
has proved a costly game; he announces that
he will drain, build, make raiways-gain, in a
word, the enduring victories of peace. De-
liberately-presumptu il you will, but
not recklessly or without deep thought-he
says TO France, Il will be your leader. / will
think for You, plot for you, plan for you.' 1t
Is an awful responsibility, no doubt He has
conceived the idea OF organizing people into
a regiment, himself its colonel; Of setting this
regiment, thus organized to industrial toll,
himself still its chief In word, he ventures
to play Providence. The scheme has never
answered yet; for the best interests of hui
manity. we must all hope that it never will
ans wer; but, at least, Ii is not vulgar dream.
and it is grander than the programme of an
Opposition which is Ingenious bnt impotent.
France NAV again weary of being treated In
stdtu pupiiiart; but for the hour she accepts
her MASTER

the exhausted men, who, amid all the din and
noise, were sleeping soundly as tired infant
on mothers knee; the grateful men, whose
thanks made me ashamed of myself. Men at
home may walk our streets, sauntering along
at their ease, pass their criticisms on the con-
duct of the war, wonder why the army does
not advance, why it does not move more rap
Idly; may charge regiments, bIiga1es oiVls-
ions and corps with cowardice, but for nyseli
every recollection of what have seen shall
silence my tongue il it ever begins to utter
reproach against the men who, In my place
and for me, have gone to meet the terrible on
set of a war that has no parallel 10 history.
What can we dor | answer this practical
question by saying, life can DC saved by US.
A computation has been made, that or all
who die by war, only one fifth die on the field,
the other four fifths die after the battle
from neglected wounds, from exhaustion, from
thirst, and hunger, from the unstaunched
flowing of blood, from lack of stimulants,
from unalleviated anguish and pain. Here
lies the sphere of Christian charity-to save
these four fifths, TO secure for them immedi-
ate attention, skillful help and full supplies.
la the Crimean war the proportion of deaths
to the thousand rose from 1870 to 9l3! The
proportion of deaths in our American army is
50 TO 1000, a grand triumph for the Republic,
for our charities, for the Christian religion.
let luOusanuS Oh lives stlll are lost, mat
might be saved. Suffering, too, can be great
ly diminished. The two hundred delegates
OF the Christian Commission at Fredericks-
burg were well nigh appalled, by the magni-
tude of the work. Their stores almost failed.
Calls came for articles that could not be had.
Men died daily because what was needed
was not at haud. Painful sufIerings were wit
messed that could not be relieved, because the
supply OF necessaries was SO seant to meet
the wants OF ten thousand men.
No human government ever made such
a noble provision for wounded men as our
own. Her record will astonish the world;
bat emergencies will arise in all great wars
like this, when all the preparations of Gov
ernment and all the help of public and OF
individual charities viii be put TO the test.
Our Government has selected the two great
Commissions, the Christian and Sanitary, as
its helpers. Their agents are the only civili-
ans allowed to accompany the army, save a
few correspondents OF the press. They are
permitted to go everywhere throughout the
lines Of the army in their work of mercy.

C4,ILESGE SILVER MINING Co. -
This company's claim is located in Gold
Hill proper, between the Confidence and
Imperial mines, and consists of fifty feet.
Their shaft is now down $40 feet, and the
company have found it necessary to con-
struct more extensive hosting works.
They are accordingly now putting up
fine large building, some forty-two by
seventy feet, with an entire new set OF
machinery the engine is forty horse
power. The work is being put together
with all possible dispatch, nearly all the
material and machinery being now on the
ground. The Challenge silver mine will,
Judging by its locality, no doubt be one OF
the paying mines in Gold Hill before a
great while. The stringency Of money
matters does not affect that kind Of pro-
perty much.
BEAL's DAGUERREAN GALLERY.-Our
friend BealS, whose gallery has been on
Main street, below the Eclipse Stables,
Gold Hill, is just now having put up the
most splendid gallery in the Territory, on
the site of his old building. Consequent
", he has suspended operations for about
two weeks, when his numerous customers
can again call on him. Mr.. Beals pos
sesses the reputation, and justly too, of
being one of the very beet Daguerrean
Artists on the Pacific Coast-and we doubt
not when he has his new place finished he
will have a larger business in his line than
any artist IN the State.
ANOTHER ESGINE.-knickerbo En-
CINE Company No. ., yesterday received
their machine. The boys had "her" out
for trial, and although not in the best Of
order, did frSt-rate work. The engine is
small and light, and is Just what is wanted
in this city. The boys are well pleased
with their machine, and we shall doubt
less hear from them the first time we have
q FIRE. The engine will be housed in the
building formerly occupied by Engine
Company No. l, in the First Ward. We
are glad the Knicks have got so good and
convenient an engine.-Enterprise.
GOLD HILL ARrILLERY.-By an adver-
tiSement in another column Of to-day's
News it will be seen that an artillery COM
pany has been partly organized in Gold
