On the question Of Bazaiuc's ability to
leave Metz with his army, and thc SuSpi-
ciOns Of treachcry which, even during the
siege, were widely circulated, c0nyorSa-
tion occurred, with an opinion worthy ot
note. President Grant and General Sher-

There IS ~a4otaing pleasing in the way
the English people speak OF the Queen At
a resent banquet the Earl OF Derby, in pro-
posing '' Thc Health of Her Majesty the
Queen, said
' Ia this country. except for q very short
time and very long a-o, the existence of
monarchy never has been party question.
We preserve it a. a link which connects Us
with our long historical past, as check
upon individual ambition and upon the vio-
lence Of party spirit, and as the symbol
visible 20 all and Ineligible to all of the
commuuity-of the unity, the power and
the dignity of the State. Applause J The
reign Of her present Majesty has been long
and prosperous; and it is bare justice to her
TO say that no sovereign has ever kept more
strictly within the limits Of her or his con
stitGtionai duty that. none has held the
balance with a more impartial hand betw wecr,
politicians Of eonteuding parties and that
none has ever shown 70 this country bet
ter example Of the performance Of all Pri-
vate and domestic duties

young ladies to the opera in hired car
