NUMBER 4S.
Queen Victoria and Her Subjects.

Underthis head Justin Mccarthy, editor
of the London Star, thus illustrates I" The
Nullity of Queenly Power in England"
can only recollect one instance during
my observation, in which Queen Victoria
put her veto on a bill passed by Parliament,
and that was on an occasion when it was
discovered, at the last moment, that the
Lords and Commons had passed a bill
which had dreadful technical blunder in
it, and the only way out of the difficulty
was to beg of the Queen to refuse it her
sanction, which her Majesty did according
ly, and the blunder was set right in the
following session. If Prime Minister
were to announce to the House of Com.
| mons, to-ihorrow, ti.as the Queen had box
ed his ears, it would not create whit more
amazement than if he were to say. no matter
IN what.graceful and diplomatic periphrasis.
that her Majesty was unwilling to agree to
some measure which her faithful Commons
desired to see passed into law.
Nothing did Mr. Disraeli more harm.
nothing brought greater contempt on him,
than his silly attempts last session to in
duce the Commons to believe, by vague
insinuations and covert illusions, that the
Queen had personal leaning towards his
policy and himself. So long ago as the
time of the free-trade struggle, the Tories,
for all their hereditary loyalty, complained
of and protested against the silent presence
of Prince Albert in the Peers gallery of
the House of Commons, on the ground that
1t was an attempt to influence the Parlia-
ment improperly, and to interfere with the
freedom of debate. No one has anything
to say against the Queen which carries any
weight or is worth listening to. She is
undoubtedly'a woman of virtue and good
sense So good a woman, | venture to
think, never before reigned over any people,
and that she is not great woman, an
Elizabeth, Catharine of Russia, or even
an Isabella OF CASTLE, is surely rather to
the advantage than otherwise of the mon
arehlcal institution in its present stage of
existence. Here, then, one might think,
II anywhere and ever the principle of per-
sonal loyalty has fair chance and full
Justification. A man might vindicate his
loyalty to Queen Victoria in the name of
liberty itself; nay, he might justify it by
an appeal to the very principle of democra-
cy. Yet one must be blind, who living
In England, and willing to observe, does
not see that the old, devoted spirit of per-
sonal loyalty is dead and buried 1t is
gone! it is memory! You may sing
poetic lament for it if you will, as Schiller
did for the gods of Hellas you may break
into passionate rhetoric, if you can, over
its extinction, as Burke did for the death
of the age of Chivalry. 1t is gone

MoLLIE, THE WICKEDEsT WOMAN IN
THE WEsT-Everybody in Kankakee
knows Mollie. To those of our readers who
are so unfortunately circumstanced as to
be compelled to live away from Kankakee,
we will say that Mollie had no other name.
She never had father nor mother, nor
brother or sister, that anybody ever knew
of. She never had home outside of the
county Jail. She was brought here in 1861
from New York. She never knew what a
school was she never heard sermon she
never was inside Of a church; she never
heard of a Sunday School she never heard
kind word spoken she never was sober
moment when she could get whisky, and
she could always get whisky when she could
get out Of Jail and she was always out of
Jail when she made so much disturbance
that the jailer could not keep her in and
she was always in Jail when she made so
much disturbance out that she could not
be endured. She was Republican by
profession and Democrat by instinct
She swore the most terrific oaths with
greater volubility of tongue than could be
done by any person who lived outside of
| Chicago. She talked the vilest, and sang
the worst songs she was filthy as the low
est, and slept out doors more nights, and
in doors fewer nights, than any other be-
ing who ever lived. When it rained the
fastest and froze the deepest, Mollie would
getthe drunkest, and was then the happiest
The police feared her; the Police Court
detested her; the Common Council made
ungallant remarks when they audited bills
marked +" Diet for Mollie in County Jail"
and these bills they audited at every meet
| ing; and the jailor was known on several
occasions to make use of downright pro-
fame language when he saw the police and
the irrepressible Mollie marching arm in
arm up to the jail door, What she lived
for nobody knew. That she would not die
everybody knew. Mollie was not the only
wicked person in this. There was "Jim,'
an aboriginal of Momence, of whom but
little is known here but unless nature
lied in Jim's face, head and general make
up, he was worse, wickeder and lower than
Mollie. He made the acquaintance of
Mollie in Jail, while confined on a charge
of stealing nine drinks of whisky from an
Alderman in Momence. That they courted
is true whether they loved or not is not
known. She begged to be released from
Jail, and promised to marry and emigrate
to Cheyenne. The Common Council voted
Mollie new dress and the happy couple
sixty dollars to pay their fare on the mat
rimonial trip; and Mollie and Jim took
their departure-Kankakee (M.) Gazette.
