THE recommendation Of some of the
English papers, that the Queen should
be compelled to abdicate, have been
taken very seriously to heart by G GER
tain NJ. Abraham Levi. The other day
he drove up to Windsor Castle, with a
portmanteau and a hat-box, and in
formed the porters that he had been
ordered by Mr.. Gladstone and the House
OF Commons to take possession OF the
Castle. He ordered the domestlcs to
be dismissed, and proclaimed himself
Dictator on the spot. The irreverent
Police, instead of acknowledging his
claims, had him arrested, and Mr.. A.
Levi passed that night in the work
house instead OF in the Castle. Per
haps it was all the same to HIM. but the
London newspapers ought at least to
subcribe to put their champion in a
private asylum. They have now ceased
to abuse the Queen for time, in order
to open fire on the Empress Eugene.
This plan of making war on women
seems to be considered very effective in
political life.

Lady Thorn and Dan. Mace.

So much has been said about the &C
cident TO Lady Thorn, and so many
speculations INDUCED in regarding 1t,
that to set the matter at rest we give a
true version of the affair. On ship
ping the Lady al Rochester for Buffalo,
her stable companions, Idol and Con.
traband, having already proceeded her
up the gangway into the car, Mace led
the mare up to the platform. upon
which she placed her off fore foot Sc
curely but in putting forward her near
foot she unfortunately stepped IT out
side the planking on to the ground,
which was some six inches lower. This
caused he to lose her balance, and she
to save herself crouched down, and IN
stantly making an effort to rise toppled
over and injured her hip somewhat;
but care and attention have remedIed
that, and she is now all right. The
sudden jerk given when she settled
back twitched Dan Mace's shoulder
out Of its socket. The limb was set
and he proceeded on to Buffalo, where
he drove Harry Harley in the great
$40, 900 purse. In the third heat the
horse, who is a rank breaker, made
a double break, requiring a sharp
twitch to make him strike
his trot, and this exertion again
twisted Dams arm from lis
socket; but lie, with indonitable pluck,
drove on and won the heat, having to
be lifted from his snlky at It's conclu-
sion. After weighing a doctor was
found, who set the limb, and Mace
again took the reins and drove the last
heat, winning the $40, 0,O00purse, thereby
proving his indomitable game and cour-
age under difficulties This is the sec.
ond time Dan has carried off the big
purse, the first time having won the
$4,000 purse with Fearnanght, in
1868.
