QUEEN VICTORIA DAYS ngo we
heard TINT Queen Victoria was sick unto
death. The Prime Minister, Gladstone,
and the Prince Of Wales were both sum
moned to her presence. Hours aud days
have elapsed and we have had no news.
Does it mean that the Government is
determined to preserve silence at oil ha-
yards, or that tho Queens condition is
SO precarious that silence is deemed
wisest in the premises? To lis the
silence is ominous. It seems to imply
that the Government is fully aware Of
the fact that crisis has been reached
The British people, with all their faults,
are conservative. The present genera
ton is bound up in Victoria. We are
willing to hope for the sake of our
British cousins that the lifo of the
Queen is good for many years to come:
for. so fur as we can see, after the Queen
must come the deluge. Nothing like
this has happened since George the
Third was proved to be confirmed
lunatic.

France bids fair to have as much trou-
BILE with Algeria as Spain has of late had
with Cuba. The insurrection which
broke out in the French colony in Africa
immediately after the downfall OF Louis
Napoleon, has not only not been sup
pressed, but is spreading. It certainly
struck deep roots among the disaffected
natives. The insurgents are now on the
borders of Tunis, and appear to have
the sympathy Of all the Africans among
whom they raise the banner of revolt.
The excitement among the Aigerines is
on the increase, and, if France hopes to
regain her former prestige in Africa, her
rulers may as well make up their minds
to re-conquer the insurreotionnry pro.
vince, for nothing short of this will sub.
due the warlike tribes, weary unto death
OF the yoke of their self.constitnted and
always hated, though for long time
feared, European masters.

"IIE WAS MAN, You KSow."- This
is q curious world. Two months ago one
Benjamin T. Simmons eloped from st.
Paul with o married lady, both OF thom
leaving families behind them. Both
were in ''good society" Both were ex-
ecrated. The other day both returned.
The woman was met with reproaches and
epithets. Old friends cut her on the
streets. A divorce was demanded by
her aggrieved husband. But how about
Simmons? Simmons was n man, you
see, nnd that makes difference, you
know. His wife and weeping friends
Welcomed him back with embraoes-th
poor, misled prodigal. His cronies
laughed with him, and ioked him gaily,
on his gallantry. That night he drove
round town with his family, behind dap
plel grays. bowing and smiling patron
izingly. Mrs. -. no matter about the
name, the other reprobate, is literally
spurncd and driven from hcr home by
all who knew her, while her paramonr,
and the equal criminal, has not even for
n moment lost his business footing, and
is just ns much tho favorito in society as
ever. For he was man, you know.

Trust What Time Has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of the divinity, may in
some cases, be open to doubt, but the
testimony of honest and enlightened
witnesses extending through a series Of
years, and all to the same purport, is
worthy of credence, admit of no cues
ton. Upon such testimony the reputa-
ton of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
an ahtidote and cure for many ailments
is based. During the tyeaty years
that it has been before the world, in
Vulnerable preparations intended to
compete with it, have gone up like
rockets, and come down the extingnish-
ed sticks. Meanwhile the progress of
that Incompatible tonic has been swift
and steady-always upward and on
ward like the eagles flight. It's intro
duction produced revolution in ticra-
peutics, and it proved to be one Of
those salutary revolutions that cannot
go backwards. To-day Hostetter's
Bitters is one Of the most popular
remedies in christendom, and COM
mands larger sale than any other
medicinal preparation, domestic or inn
ported, on this side of the Atlantic.
AS cure for dyspepsia, bilious disor-
ders, nervous affections, general de-
bllity, and as preventive Of epidemic
fevers, it takes precedence of every
other remedy. This fact should teach
the ambitious country dealers who en-
deavor to foist their local abortions on
the public in its stead, how futile their
small attempts to cajole the community
must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no chance for
the suckers

WORDS OF PArR1oT1sM AND WISDOM

WORDS OF PATRIOTISM AND WISDOM.
The sentiments uttered in the con-
clusion of the speech of Mr.. J. Proc
tor Knott, of Kentucky, cannot be
too often repeated and too deeply
punuereu ny Une american people,
and especially by the Democratic
party, whose mission it is to save our
country. He said:
Il appeal to the student of history
to point to single instance in the
annals of the human family where a
people or a political party, ever arose
to power or achieved success save by
a fixed, determined, persistent adj
herence to some great purpose. Ma
jorities fall to pieces in wrangles over
the division of party booty. Minori-
ties are held together and rise into
power upon some great principle.
When that is abandoned they cease
to exist. Why then should we des-
pair? why depart from the faith of
our fathers and the political chart
of our whole lives? Did the Senate
dispair when Hannibal was thunder
ing at the gates of Rome? No, they
voted resolution of thanks to the
battle-scarred fragments of Varro's
legions because they proudly and
defantly bore aloft the Roman eagle
as they sullenly retreated from the
disastrous fields of Cannae. And
where was Carthage when those Gag
les perched upon the bleak hills of
Caledonia, or nestled amid the ruins
of ancient Babylon, with an empire
between them? Even should all
Others desert them, let the gallant
Democracy of my native State still
keep it proudly afoat as good men,
brave and true, and a host will yet
rally around it sufficient to rescue
our Government from the vandalic
horde that menaces it's existence.
Let it go down without another strug-
gle to sustain it, and with it will 90
down your liberties, never to rise!''

Alpine Solitude.

In tue faint moonlight, we could
hardly tell what we were treading up
on-treacherous snow-bridges or
slippery slides of ice. A stumble or
two nearly brought lis all in heap
together. Moreover, the Aletsch-
horn had chosen to shove its head up
just in the way of the moon; and at
last, we were all getting rather puz-
zled how to proceed, the moon sud-
denly dipped behind it, the great
shadow of the mountain shot out
over US, and we were all alone in the
dark. Looking hastily round in the
faint twilight, we could just make
out great mass of rock, on our right
hand. This forms part of the great
promontory which divides the two
main branches of the Aletsch glacier.
We made for it at once, found no
crevasses to stop us, and stepped
once more off the ice on to dry land.
We unanimously resolved to stay
where we were till daylight should
appear. We undone the ropes, took
glass of wine all round, and deter
mined to make ourselves comfortable.
Having drank my wine, and made a
perfectly futile attempt to swallow
bit of bread, I put on a pair of dry
stockings, which 1 had in my pocket,
over my wet ones, stuck my feet into
knapsack, and sat down on some
sharp stones under a big rock. My
companions most ohligingly sat down
on each side of me, which tended
materially to keep off the cold night
wind, and one of them shared my
knapsack. My seat may very easily
be initiated by any one who will take
the trouble to fill one of the CATERS
by the side of paved street, with a
heap of granite stones prepared for
macadamizing q road. If he will sit,
down there for frosty night, and in
Fduce couple of friends to sit there
with him, he will doubtless learn to
sympathize with us. x I fully
expected to get up in the morning
stuck all over with pebbles, like a
large pat of butter dropped into a
sugar-basin. In other respects, I be-
lieve I really enjoyed the night. The
huge snow-covered mountains that
glimmered family through the dark
ness; the long, glorious glacier, half
seen as it swept away from our feet;
and the perfect stiffness were very
striking. We felt that our little party
was the absolute solitude, in the very
center of the greatest waste of ice
and bare rocks in the Alps.
