Queen Victoria ~ = SPirltualfsf.
fErom the Golden Age


A great deal has been said about Queen
Victoria's indispositiOn, which now assunes
one form and now another, ranging all the
way from sore throat to insanity. But the
truth is that, aside from the ordinary Ills
that common flesh is heir TO, and of which
she has her share, she is 4 spiritualist; and
the eminen,ly respectable and thoroughly
stupid English public regard such belief
with repugnance bordering on dismay. The
thing seems to those materialistic, matter OF
fact people 50 utterly incredible that the only
way they can account for it is by surprising
that her mind is laboring under a hallucina-
ton, il, indeed, it is not permanently disOr-
dered. She has firm conviction that
Prince Albert is always present with her,
and that she can hold communion with him.
Her private rooms are arranged as they
were when he was alive His chair is placed
oppoeite to her own in the library, and tie
books which he delighted to read to her are
arranged lovingly in order, upon the table.
In some of her moods she will converse with
him for an hour together, conducting her
own share of the conversation aloud, and
with the vigor and interest of old times. He
has taught her by his example, the success Of
his business enterprises-especially by his
management OF the Dnchy OF COrnwall-tO
superintend, as much Is possible, all her
private affairs herself; to reduce all un; eces-
cessary expenditures, and To forbid extrava-
game. Hence, the greatest simplicity Is
obferved at the Queens table, and she imag-
ines that her husband looks on, well pleased.
At times, when she is more than ordinarily
impressed with the sense OF his presence, 1t
is said she will order a knife and fork to be
placed on the dinner table for him, and
cause the attendants TO place every course
before the empty chair as if the master still
occupied it. Every morning pair o. boots
are cleaned and set down against the door of
the chamber which he once occupied; and at
breakfast, when in Scotland, she will often
ait long time i'll silence, waiting for the
Prince.

Rats are BenefaciOrs.

Among the prejudices cherished by the
masses against harmless animals, few are
stronger than that felt almost universally
against bats, arising probably from the SIM
ole fact that they are children Of the night,
and forced to carry on their search after food
in the darkness. Ii may be, however, that
their peculiar hideousness has given ad-
ditional strength to this feeling, for the
Jewish legislation already declared them
uncIean and accused, and the Greeks Dor
rowed their wings for the harpies, as Christ
ians have done Tor the devil. A poor, lost
bat need but fiy into room filled with com
pany, and everybody is frightened. SD.
ptn.itous people tremble at their mere pre-.
ence as an evil omen, and the strong minded
among the fair excuse their terror by a pre-
tended fear for their hair-an apprehension
which could be we'll founded only il the ac-
counts of insects being harbored in their
chienons should be verified. 1t is true these
children of darkness are neither fair in form,
nor amiable in temper. The naked, black
skin of their wings, stretched out between
enormously heightened fingers, like the silk
of an umbrella between the whalebone of the
frame; the ugly claws of their hind feet; the
bare appendages which frequently adorn
their noses in a most eccentric manner; and
their perfectly noiseles-, almost mysterious
flight by touch, and not by sight-all these
peculiarities combine to make them un-
welcome guests among men.
And yet they are real public benefactors
When the Inst warm sun of spring arouses
them from their long winter sleep, which
they enjoy, hanging by their long hind feet,
bead down, and the whole body carefully
they begin their night hunts. A dozen fat
beetles hardly suffice for the supper of a
hungry member OF one variety, and sixty to
seventy house-flies of another kind. All
night long they pursue with indeatigable
energy every variety Of beetle and moth, of
fy and buff, and enjoy most of all those
which do the greatest injury to our fruit-trees
and cereals-Proi. De We're in APp,eton's
Journal.

CHICAGO.


CHICAGO, Nov. I'm explanation Of the
statement contained in dispatches in the
morning papers, from Springfield, that the
War Department had ordered four companies
of L. s. Regulars to this city, il is proper to
State that the companies are ordered to the
barracks here To spend the winter, as the
headquarters of the army of the Missouri,
the same a. companies stationed at other bar
racks throughout the country, and has no
reference whatever to any local use for these
soldiers. In reference to the further rumor
in the same dispatches, that Gov. Palmer
had authorized or ordered Attorney Cen
eral Bushnell to procure the Indictment OF
Gen. Sheridan, Col Sherman and others, for
the murder Of Col. Grosvenor, it is only
necessary to state that neither the Attorney
General or Governor has any legal authority
of the kind.

The Fort Scott AositOr, In commenting ON
Capt. Kings excellent address delivered be-
fore the State Editorial Association. speaks
approvingly of that portion Of the address
devoted to Personalities" and endorses the
position taken therein. This pO ition as We
understand il, is, that a paper to be worth
anything must be Outspoken about indiyid-
uals a. veil a. parties, about men as well -
measures. 1t must be capable Of saying
Thou art the man." whenever the public
good requires such an expression. Villains
must be pointed out by their given and sur
names, and fools, who are nearly as danger
Gus to the public peace. must be talked to IN
a manner that even fool can understand.
In looking over our exchange list We are
reminded every day that Capt. Kings doc
trine is that Of nearly every leading and in
fiuential paper in the country. Picking up,
for instance, recent copy OF the New York
Tribune, we find in the same column one
short paragraph commencing in this manner:
That the attempt Of Magnus Gross to sell
out the German Democrats, who are resolved
ON reform, has not been SO far successful, Is
not 40 much due to the backwardness Of Mr..
Gross, etc.

A Lo0A0a Tire0aa's Death.

the brave and gallant conduct Of the fireman
Ford, who lost his life after saving six
others. Ny chambers directly overlooked
the scene of the fire, and it il difficult either
to describe or forget thescene that witnessed
for few moments. The inmates were at
the top story Of the house, and as the fire
quickly progressed upward their death
seemed imminent, and their cries for help
became hesftrending. There appeared to
me to be considerable delay in the arrival Of
N escape, but just at the criiIcal moment one
appeared, and Ford ascended at once, and
brought four or five persons in safety, Who
muA undoubtedly, have persisted in another

q woman who had been left behind was heard,
and without moments hesitation, a0d amid
the hoarse cheers of the crowd, a
