WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY IA

Is YorR NAME BRowN ?-London has re-
GENTLY sustained a bereavement IN the person OF
!, lady of the not unfamiliar name OF Brown.
Some time back she offered the Metropolitan
Board of Works $250,000 if it would make a
contemplated alteration in a street in a manner
She wished, but they were unable to acceed to
her Wishes. She generously offered them $50
600 for the erection Of drinking fountain to
be placed at the end of the street in which she
lived, and this was about to be erected. The
Board also communicated with her about public
baths, which she intended to erect at Il cost OF
$4,000, when suddenly pallida mors. who had
taken some time coming, for Mrs. brown was
ninety, stepped in and disslpa'cd her beneVo-
lent intention. She died interstate, leaVln" an
estate of so. 900 a year, and without a human
relative. 1t is therefore stated that the properly,
will 90 to the Crown, but as there are several
Browns about it will be hard II one OF that en-
terprising and ubiquitous family can t sub>tan-
tate a claim. Herhaps some Of the american
branch of the clan will think it worth while
looking up their ~pedigreeS.
CAROLINE AND VIcToRIA.-The solicitude
displayed by Queen Victoria during the illness
of her son recalls (by the doctrine OF opposltes}
the conduct of the Queen of England 10 years
ago, when her eldest son lay dying at Leicester
Castle. Frederick Louis, son Of George Ii; by
Caroline, his wife, had for years been at dag
gers drawn with his parents. Tie was strongly
suspected of plotting against his father 5 HE.
and the dislike of either father or son was L
>ure passport to the favor Of the other. \
short time before his death. his fond mother
wrote to Lord Hervey, as follows: My dear
Lord, | will give it to you under my hand, il
YOU are in any fear of my relapsiug, that my
dear first born is the greatest ass, and the
greatest liar, and the greatest c%anai'le, and the
greatest beast iu the whole world, aud heart,
liz wish he was out of it" When, shortly
atterward, he went out Of it. the JOY exhibited
at the Court of St. James was shameless. The
contrast between the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries is \ sharn one.

Some would-be smart United
States Commissioner in the State o1
New York has issued warrants TO,
the arrest of Miss Susan B. Anthony
and other ladies for voting in Ro-
chester at the Presidential election.
Why not arrest the inspectors OF
election for receiving the ballots
This move of the commissioner will
be locked upo6 as persecution OF
the ladies, as it is evident to every
same person that they intended no
fraud, but voted as women and it
would. seem that if any crime was
committed it was by the receiver of
the ballots. The whole thing will,
however, result in bringing about
just what all who believe in the right
Of the governed giving their consent
desire, viz, the extension of the
elective franchise to the women of
the country-NeD National Era.
