Queen Victoria in a Hui.

A London letter on that wretched
quarrel about precedence" says that
the Queen has gone off 10 Balmoral,
leaving her imperial guest the Emper-
or of Russia, in London. She is suffer
ing from one of her periodical attack s
of what Mr.. Disraeli calls "mental dis-
ability and that it has been caused
mainly by chagrin in being compelled
to yield It is amusing to observe tn @
zeal with which the English people
t'lle up the Queens side In this little
/ lily quarrel, and insist that the
a. nd Duchess has been honored I"
by being introduced into /" our royal
family" The result, however, is that
the Court Journal has been compelled
to announce that hereafter the young
lac shall be styled " her royal and
inr ..erial highness the Grand Duchess
of Russia,n and that " she shall take
precedence Immediately after the Prin-
cess OF Wales.p This concession has
been gall and wormwOod to the
Queen and TO her daughters, and the
modification arising therefrom is the
al cause Of the present illness Of her
Ma esty and Of her untimely flight to
Scotland.

The Dinerence.

A priest who was jogging along on
an ass was overtaken by lOquacious
doctor, and after some preliminary
conversation as to the destination, etc, ,
the doctor proposed that they each
should ask question, and the one who
proposed the best should receive hos
pitality at the others expense at the
next town. The priest agreed, for he
was a fat, jolly little fellow, who
could enjoy a laugh and "some bot
ties" even at the DOCTORS expense.
So the doctor proposed the following 4:
"What Is the difference between a
priest and a jackass ?"
That's DID," replied the priest.
=" One wears his cross on his breast,
the other on his back. Now for my
turn. What is the difference between
the doctor and the ass ?'
can not tell, " replied the doctor
'what is the difference ?n
II see nome" quietly replie ed the
priest.

Breaking II Gently.
BY MARK TWAIN.

Yes, l remember that anecdote,n
the Sunday school superintendent said ,
with the old pathos in his voice, and
the old sad look in his eyes. 1T was
about a simple creature named Hig-
gins, that used to haul rock for old
Maltby. When the lamented Judge
Bagley tripped and fell down the court
house stairs and broke his neck, it was
great question how to break the news
to poor Mrs. Bagley. But finally the
body was put into Higgins wagon,
and he was instructed to take it to Mrs.
B., but to be very guarded and dis
Greet in his language, and not break
the news to her at once, but do it grad
ually and gently. When Higgins got
there with his sad freight, he shouted
till Mrs. Bagley came to the door.
Then he said, docs the wilder
Bagley live here"
1.-THE aCidOtU Bagley? No, sir! ~
"I'll bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bsgley
live here?n
Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
IN bet he don't. But never mind,
it amt for me to contradict. Is the
Judge in?"
mo, not at present"
81 jest expected as much. Because.
you know-take hold O'suthin, mum,
for Pm a-going to make Il little COM
munication, and / reckon maybe it'l
jar you some. There's been an acct
dent, mum, I've got the old Judge
curled up out here in the wagon, and
when you see him you'll acknowledge
yourself that an inquest is about the
only thing that could be a comfort TO
him ~

Contributions Of money are pouring
in upon the Misses Smith, of Glaston-
bury, in recognition Of their brave and
consistent conduct in resisting taxation.
Sympathizers can be counted every
where by the thousands, and more con-
verts have been brought over to the
Woman Suffrage ranks on account of
this palpable outrage, riveting the at
tention TO the wrongs suffered by wom-
en-, than many other causes successively
operating might produce. Human
nature naturally cries out against in
justice, and when wrong is once shown
up to he prominent and palpable, ali
the better humanity of all the world
rises in protest against it. The meaner
humanity still sneaks in the wake Of
any successful oppression. We have a
lew cowardly extracts from cowardly
papers that our attention has been
called 10 by friends, making q bravado
over the defeat of these ladies. But all
the better portion Of the newspapers are
disposed TO take the just and right view
Of the case.-TolcoIo Journal.
