VICTORIA Victoria is now in the
midst of her faithful !lighlandcrs and en-.
joying herself III her own way. AS soon as
She got to Balmoral She attended the funeral
of one OF her ghilics going to the house of
the deceased and laying wreath of flowers
on the coffin at the end of the service. A
few nights after there was servants ball at
the castle, and in the course OF the evening
the Queen not only countenanccd the pro
ceedings by her presence, but took part IN
the dancing. She danced with Prince Al
bert Victor and Prince George, sons OF the
Prince of Wales, and aiterward took part in
a reel with John Brown, her attendant, and
Donald Steward, gamekecper. 1t is easy to
understand what relief tins mus; have been
after the severe etiquette of an imperial re-
ception, This is the first time the Queen has
danced since the death of the Prince Con

''There was lady with me, the witness l,1,e

she good driver?' was the next question,
the lawyer referring to the animal, but the
witness understanding that he meant the
lady. "She was" he replied. " az sue

and the reply was in the affirmative: though
the witness, still thinking of the lady, LOOK x,

i.te we learn that he has been extremely

This means in plain language that the
President was conspicuously drunk at INC
theatre, and has of late been frequently
seen in that condition, and we dare say !.
is true. But the idea that his health Is
undermined by such practices is a mistake,
He is a man of extraordinary strength ana
endurance and although he is in dangero OF
becoming confirmed drunkard again. as
he was when he was obliged to resignfrom
the army in California in 1854, there is no
probability that his life will be seriously
abbreviated by that cause. Such is the
quality of his nervous system that he can
get drunk pretty often and come tresher
out of it than any other man; and 50 1t
will probably be to the end.

The Hon. VIM. Nj. Gwin having been
invited to attend the celebration of Dem
ocratic success held in San Francisco on
the 10Th inst, sent letter in which, after
saving that if he should be present and
make speech he supposed he would be
classcd as an old Bourbon and secesh,
though he protests he is neither, he cx-
presses the opinion that the recent elee-
tons have indicated plainly that lilden
and Thurman should be the Democratic
standard bearers in the great contest OF
1876. For near half a century after the
adoption Of the federal constitution nation
al political conventions to nominate candl-
dates for President and vice President were
unknown, and Mr.. Gwin believes that il
the people would without more ado adopt
Tilden and Thurman as the people candl,
dates for these Offices their election would
be as certain as the rising and setting Of

senting two mighty States each has a
