Queen Victoria Fancies.

Whatever may be the truth in regard
to the report that Queen Victoria intends
to abdicate the throne of England, it is
known that she has been laboring for
some year past under atleast one phase
of mental infrmity. She has firm con-
viction that Prince Albert is alwaws pres-
ent with her, and that she cali baid CON
munion with him. Her private rooms
are arranged "a hey were ~ :: j.. was
alive. H chn'" - .1.sced opposite 10 her
own in tn library, and The booHS 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 had taught her by his example the
success of his business enterprises-espec-
tally by his management of the Duchy of.
Cornwall-to superintend as much as pos
sible all her private affairs herself; to re-
duce all unnecessary expenditures, and to-
forbid extravaganza. Hence the greatest
simplicity is observed at the Queens ta-
BILE, and she imagines that her husband
looks on, well pleased. At times, when
she is more than ordinary impressed with
sense of his presence, the poor, fond
woman 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 q pair
of boots are cleaned and set down against
the door of the chamber which he once
occupied and at breakfast, when in Scot
land, she will often sit long time in ST.
lence, waiting for the Prince.
The Queens strong belief in she COM
munion of the living with the spirits of
the dead she received, no doubt, from
Prince Albert himself, who was sort of
theosophist-a sGlpeLtirZ between Il"Di

Whatever may be 'nouS!.s % it rs tLeo-
ry of philosophic - religious b"naf hY
sober, common sense people, it is TO VIC
toria source Of great consolation, and
she often talks with the Prince concerning
the state Of the soul after death. She has
been gradually Withdrawing from public
life for some years past, and lives in a
world of her own. Her harp and her ca
sci are both neglected, and she neither
sings, plays, nor paints, except at rare in
tervals, when she will sweep her harp
strings for few moments in memory OF
some sweet German air that her husband
loved to sing or to hear sung

and I retreated backwards into the hall,
where the lady in waiting received and
conducted me to the door.
The impression left on my mind was
that Marie Antoinette had been speaking
to me, escaped by miracle from the
Temple-Marie Antoinette young GER and
more womanly, without the proud ais@
tere reserve.

SHAKES.

Everybody in and around Norway Fiat
was acquainted with Shakes. Shakes was

boots. The veritable felt hat, worn by
hin in '52, still maintained its usual posi-
tion on the side of his head. The only
change it had apparently undergone since
then, was that piece of an old rubber
coat now constituted the crown.
Shakes's history outside of the pre-
cincts of Norway Flat, was wrapped in
complete mystery. Even the time of his
arrival in the camp was unknown.

ieved that he hailed from the temperance

h,bings had so enfeebled his system as
to cause him to readily succumb to its in

NATIONAL BANKS AND THE NEW LOAN.
The national banks continue to hold ive-
twenties and other six per cent. bonds
