THE QUEENS BooK-Leaves from the
Journal of our Life in the High
lands, from 1S4S to 1861; to which is
prefxed and added Extracts from
the same Journal, giving an Account
of Earlier Visits to Scotland, and
Tours in England and Ireland,
and Yachting Excursions. Edited
by Arthur Helps. 12mo, PIP. 297.
Harper & Brothers.
Mr.. Arthur Helps is, we believe,
Clerk of the Privy Council, and his
Office brought him into that close
personal relation to the Queen which,
together with his literary reputation,
led to his becoming the editor of the
Queens Diary. He states, in an in
teresting way, how the book came to
be published. During On official
visit, her Majesty showed him ex-
tracts from her journal of life in the
Highlands, which she had it in mind
to print for private distribution. Mr..
Helps and others suggested that the
work would be not lesss interesting
to the public than to her personal
friends. The preface goes on to say,
that it was urged that extracts from
a privately printed book would be
almost sure to find their way into the
papers in garbled shape, and that
her subjects would be gratified "to
be allowed to know how her rare
moments of leisure were passed in
her Highland home, when every Joy
was heightened, and every care and
sorrow diminished, by the loving
companionship of the Prince Con-
sort. Upon these nsiderations, her
Majesty eventually consented to its
publication" All this is q plain, un-
vanished table, and gives, we doubt
not, the true history of the appear
ance of this book. Following so
closely as this does upon the publica-
ton of the frst volume of the Life
Of the Prince Consort, it continues
the biographical interest which that
excited. and derives o charm from
the stripping off that mystery which
surrounds royal parsonage, and
allowing us to peep behind the hedge
of divinity which is believed to en-
compass king. Such book can
scarcely be judged on its own merits.
1t is not above criticism, nor below
it, We may as we'll take the book
for what it is meant, confess to q be-
coming curiosity as to the inner life
and rural enjoyments of q happily
welded pair, and read this record
with due sense of gratitude for the
condescension which spreads it be-
fore plebeian eyes. J. J. McCarter,
ESQ, has favored us with copy Of
this work.

TRIALS BY THE MILITARY.-The
following order was issued on Thurs
day:
CHARLESTON, s. c., Feb. 6, 1868.
General Orders No. 18.
1. In trials of offences at common
law or under State statutes, and in
trials of civil actions, provost courts,
military commissions and military
tribunals, organized by virtue of
authority under the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress, will be governed
by the rules of evidence prescribed
by the law of the State in which the
case is tried.
III. No provost court will entertain
Jurisdiction of any case. nor will any
post commander refer any case for
trial by any such court, unless it
shall appear to the satisfaction OF the
post commander and shall be certi-
fed by him, either
First. That the case involves mat
ters of difference between employer
and employed respecting rights under
provisions of military orders; or,
Second. That the proper State au-
thorities have refused or unreason-
ably failed, or are unable to take
action needful for the protection Of
persons or property; or,
Third. That there is good ground
for believing, upon facts shown,
which must be preserved of record,
that impartial justice cannot be se-
cured in the State courts, by reason
of prejudice on account of race, color
or former condition.

WHAT NExT?-Golden hair, red
hair, auburn hair and black has re-
spectively been ''the fashion" in the
past, and now comes gray hair.
Hair dyes have been pronounced
injurious, and the consequence, is
that the numerous owners of silvery
locks have declared gray hair fashion
able. During the past week, noted
barber in that city has obtained as
high sum as fifty dollars and
seventy-five for small punches of
gray hair. What next?

How They See 1t.

Tho true position of the Democ-
racy is cleary demonstrated in the
following little incident which &C.
cured at Grafton, West Virginia,
last week, at the Democratic State
Convention. Mr.. George IL. Pend
Teton, the great embodiment Of De
mocracy, made a lengthy and Wig
orous speech, setting forth the
principles of the party. its objects,
&C., and concluded in his best
style. After leaving the platform
he was accosted bya a one.armed
man, who. stepped up to him and
said: mfr. Pendleton, allow me

lence OF your speech. | can vel
