THE DRUNKEN FAMILy.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Detroit
Tribune recently wrote that journal as
follows:
People often wonder whether the
President is still in the habit of drinking.
I can positively say that he is; that he is
a steady and persistent brandy and
whiskey drinker; and, worse than that,
the White House contains, for the first
time since it was built, drinking,
drunken family. The President is a
steady drinker. He is what temperance
men call moderate drinker.' His
son Robert, who is one of his private
secretaries, is a sot. He is beastly drunk
for days together. His son-in-law, SEN
atOr Patterson, who lives in the White
House, is terrible drinker. He never
gets drunk, but lie is not far off from
deliriun tremens. He sallies out from
the seuate every hour or two to take full
tumblers Of raw whiskey. Nine men
out OF ten would die of his habits. He
swills enough whiskey to slaughter a
regiment of men, and yet continues to
do duty as Senator.

Queen Victoria.

aAs queen V1CCOfl6.
81 An English writer related the follow
eng touching narrative relating to the
aecesion to the British throne Of the
present Queen:
ha..SNilliam ~. expired about midnight
midnight, at windsor Palace. The
Archbishop Of Canterbury, with other
peers and high functionaries of the
kinydom, was in attendance. As soon
rs the ''sceptre had departed" with the
last breath of the king, the Archbishop
quilted Windsor Castle and made his
nay with all possible speed to Kingston
Palace, the residence at the time Of the
Princcss- by the law of success
sion Queen-Victoria. He arrived long
before daylight, announced himselfand
requested an immediate interview with
the princess. She hastily attired her.
SELF and met the venerable prelate in
her ante-room. He informed her Of the
death of William, aud formally an
nounccd to her that she was, in law and
right. successor to the deceased monarch.
The sovereignty of the NEST powerful
nation lay Mt the feet of agirl of eigh-
teen She was, de jure Queen Of the
only realm, in fact or history, on which
the sun never SETS She was deeply ag-
itated vt the formidable words SO fraugIt
with blessings or calamity The first
wnds she was able to utter were these,
4 ask your prayers in my behalf
.'They kneeled together, and Victoria
inaugurated her reign, like the young
king Of Israel in olden time, by asking
from the Highest who ruleti in the
kingdoms of men, an understanding
heart to judge SO great people, who
could not be numbered nor be counted
for multitude.
.'rhe sequel of her reign has been wor-
thy Of such beginning. Every throne
in Europe has tottefed since that day
Mo t Of them have been, for Il time, over
turned. That of England was never ST
firmly seated in the loyalty and love OF
the people as at this hour. Queen Vic
toria enjoys personal influence, too, the
heartfelt homage paid to her as q
Christian mother incomparably wide,
and greater than that of any monarch

"When things come to the worst they win
mend," says the proverb. They have long
been at the worst in our theatres. In the
character Of their pieces, as in the quality OF
their artists, they could not well have been
more discreditable. Their degradation culmi-
mated in the Black Crook, Barnum's redegen-
Grated museum, and the musical 6xzle or break
down styled the Italian Opera.
The acrobatic mission sent here by the EN-
ness the Japanese Pope or Micado, has effected
a sudden and complete revolution in this state
of things All classes. rich as well as poor,
old as well as young, infirm as we'll as healthy,
have been drawn within Its influence. Night
after night their singular exhibitions, fresh
from Jeddo, and which only the highest aris-
tocracy Of the empire are privileged to wit
ness have been producing such sensation at
the Academy Of Music as to throw the unfor-
tunate stockholders Of that impecunious estab-
lishment into a delirium of expectation and
induce them to believe that they are entering
or sort of theatrical millennium. After 30
many seasons Of operate failures 1t is not sur
prising that they should share in the general
excitement. II brings them what they have
long been strangers to, the prospect Of divi-
dend. The japanese are therefore to them
like the wise men of the East-they bring
them knowledge and they bring them some
thing more substantial, all OF which, backed
by the blessing Of his Holiness the Micado,
will assuredly work out their salvation.
Another happy thing resulting from this aero
batic mission is the trouble which il will save
that dreadfully cverworked Official, Superin-
tendent Kennedy. IL vii do any amount of
shutting up for him without the risk Of riot
1t has shut up the Opera and il is shutting up
the Black Crook and Barnum's museum. Both
establishments will very soon be TO let, and a
good thing it will be for the morality and d.
nestle peace Of the city.
We recollect that when our first treaties
were made with japan good many wise
people turned mp their noses at them and won
dcred at our giving ourselves SO much trouble
for nothing. We would like to know what
these wise people thiak now, and we shall BE-
still more curious to learn what their impress
sicds will be . few months later.
: These Japanese missions are only in their
inception. They have begun with the reforms-
ton Of our theatres--they are about 70 under
I, ..aks that Of our politicians; and by and by
| they will tackle our parsons Both Church and
State are in a very sound condition in japan,
for the simple reason that their diseased mem
bers are promptly Topped or The Japan

.tion our low religious and political
