even Englhnd's Queen, should eyinco
desire to do honor te the double
occasion Of our national glorifcation
reserved for tho year 1876? Now,
We entertain just this opinion of
''Littlc VIC" that were she "fce to
choose" in this mattcr-hcr 7'cncaant
for Americans being SO we'll known
she would, to certainty, be in Phila-
dclphia on the approaching "Fourth;"
nay, i'll all probability, listening with
quite as much candor as regret to the
charges enumerated against her
granfathcr, George the Third, by the
reader of the Declaration of Indepen-
denco. Badinago aside. .showever, we
can we'll conceive that the Queea's
advisers, with Disraeli at their head,
have committed Il foolish .blunder
(;,warc, as they must have been, Of
tho almost universal desire in this
country to see Victoria) in causing
her TO forcgo, ut ono and the same
time, magnanimous act and most
delightful rccreation-cach alike
conducive, i'll the future, to the est
possible understanding and amicablc
relations between the the countries.
II is q matter, too, rs clear rs light
that the respectful homage she would
have encountered among us would
have been the homage Of the hcart-
the homage, in fact, Of sincere admi.
ration and esteem, as contradistin-
guishcd from that Of the unrcflccting
and, in some cases, bcsottcd homage
cvinccd toward her By the masses in
her own county. In word, The
presence Of Victoria in our midst on
Independence bay, could it have
been brought about (and it couhl),
would have proved stroke of policy
OH the part Of her ministers, calculated
cf1cctually to cement the best under
standing between John and Jonathan
such an understanding, indeed, MS
nigh! have lasted many..a day. We
like the wholc-soulcd and unpreten-
tious bearing of Dom Pedro and his
Empress, as they freely and un-
restralncdly mix among our varied
population; nor will their departure
from among lis fail to elicit OH the
part of our people sentiment of re-
grct. II is not yet too late for Eng
lands Queen to honor with her pre-
sencc our centennial demonstration,
and to"declaro" her independence"
Of a cabinet which, from the most
groveling considerations, would keep
her at home. Let her come, by all
means.

DENTS OF THE OCCASION.

Circumstances over which we had
no control prevented us from attend
ing the Lutheran Picnic, which
came off at Andrews Fishtrap yestcr-
day q week ago. We had, however,
the pleasure of witnessing the process.
sion MS it marched out of Town. Tho
band wagon, drawn by four grays, at.
tracted considerable notice, and ad-
ded beauty and interest to the pro-
ccssion. We make the following cx-
tract from tho Orangcburg cores

which gives tull account Of the ex-
crciscs of the day at the Fishtrap:

grammc OF pleasure for the children.
III the dcwy morn, the band wagon,
drawn by four spankin grays, with
tall p'umcs nodding in their head,
and the wagon decorated with flowers,
made its appearance on Russell street
ready for the march. The start was
soon made and twcnty-ninc vehicles
followed in train, each loaded with
anticipated happiness, which was des-
tined to be amply realized. The at
tendance OH the grounds was certain
~ burger than that Mt any other Of the
picnics. Tho day was bright, and
every circumstance auspicions. The
programme Tor the day was a long
and merry one aud Mr.. Haskell
promptly commenced performance.
FiIst came II set Of hymns sung beau
tiiully by the children grouped under
the trees, addresses by one or two Of
the boys, and music by the bard,
when the pastor bid all 60 and be
happy. This command was enthusi-
astically okcycd, and the grounds
soon were animated and cchoing with
merry people, old and young
