tains as ever look grandly, sternly
down, as they did before the crowd
of men mites struggled, worried
and fought at their base for the
bits of shining metal. What was it
all to them? The Tuolumne runs

complaining and telling some
strange story all to itself, while still
in the long, quiet summer after
moons, Vandam, who once scorned
aught save dint at a bit a bucket,
now trundles barrowfuls of gravel
yielding penny the'pailful, and
awaits contentedly his next strike.
He will die at Hawkins Bar, and
no one will then be left who can tell

The Choquered Lire OF a queen

The ex-Queen Isabella has re
turned to the country from which
she was ignominiously elected
nearly eight years ago There are
few sovereigns living at this day
whose past is so full of dramatic
interest as that of Dona Isabella IL.
In 1888, at the age of three years,
she was raised to the throne of Fer
dinand the Catholic, in conse-
quence of the arbitrary repeal of
the Salic law by her father, Ferdi-
nand VII. For seven years after
this her supporters waged a san
culinary war against her uncle, Don
Carlos, who claimed the throne by
virtue of the old Spanish law Of
succession f; and when he had been
overtaken at last by the treason of
Maroto, her own generals, Espar-
tero and 0'Donnell, fought for
three years over the sp9ils, and the
former having the better of the
fight, sent her mother, Dona Chris
tina, into exile.
In 1S43 Espartero was over
thrown in his turn, and the Queen
declared of age. Three years later,
in 1916, old Louis Philippe dealt
with her and her sister, the Infanta
Luisa, as mere tools of his policy,
and in this way the Spanish mar
riages" were brought about by
which a war nearly arose between
France and England. For two and
twenty years after this there was
not a more unhappy being in the
world than this Queen, who, on the
one hand, was joined to a husband
for whom she could have no affeo-
ton, and on the other was subiec-
ted to the fuotuating influences of
miserable counselors, not one of
whom, with the sole exception of
Narvaez, kept faith with her.
When at last, on the goth of
September, 1868, she was driven
into exile, a period Of peace and
rest began for her, and a strife and
misery for unhappy Spain. Her
position will now be a most delicate
one--a Queen living near the
throne, but not on the throne
and little good is hoped for from
this state Of things, either for her
or for her country.

Gre,t Mems wives.
Casssll's Magazine

Oassell Magahlne'l
1t was a saying Of Rousseau's that
ga man is only what n woman
makes him." and this sentiment
is slightly varied in our own old
English proverb, which says that
if man would thrive he must
ask his wife's leave" The records
of history contain numberless ex-
amples of women who have done
for their husbands what Aaron and
Hur did for Moses; they have held
up their hands and supported
them at the greatest crisis Of theil
lives, and so turned what would
have heen a failure into triumph
and success. And they contain
examples, too, of those who have
accomplished a far more difficult
task-that of sustaining and cheer
ing when endeavor and hope were
dead. 1t is only necessary to men,
tion the names Of Gertrude Won der
Vert and Lady Rachael Russell in
proof of this. 1t may not be unin-
teresting to give a few instances OF
women in our own generation who
have been to their husbands help
ers and felloy-workers, as well as
sympathizing companions, and who
have thus taken a position which
is unanimously acknowledged to
be a most proud and honorable one
that of helpmate to man,
Among these the name that is first
thought of, probably because it has
so recently been brought before
public notice, is that of Lady Au.
gusta Stanley, the wife of the Dean
Of Westminster. Herself the
daughter of a peer, and one Of thC
most intimate of the Queens per.
sonal friends, she possessed a large
ness of heart and a strength of in.

How Fas. EIeetrlelty TrareIs.

A New York paper gives us some
interesting facts concerning the
time required to transmit a message
by cable across the Atlantic. There
is no fixed velocity for electricity,
After contact with a conductor at
the other end Of an ocean cable no
effect is perceptible at this end for
about two-tenths of a second; then
a faint force is received, which in
creases perceptibly. After four
tenths Of a second only about
seven per cent. of the maximum
force is at hand. In one second it
reaches about half its final strength,
and after about three seconds its
full strength is attained. 1t does
not therefore come in a single
shock, but with increasing force
for three seconds. 1t takes four
tenths of a second as a rule to make
any signal felt, but the length OF
time it takes to send a word through
the cable is governed, as it is in
writing, by the length of the word,
or the signals necessary to deliver
it. 1t requires an average of three
and a half signals to the letter. II
we take an average Of six letters to
th1 word, it requires twenty-one
signals to transmit it, and two
hundred aud ten signals to send a
message of ten words. If every
signal required four-tenths OF
a second, then eighty-four sec
onds would be required for
a message of ten words. But
after the electricity has been APP
piled the succeeding signals do not
take as long as the first.
The cable therefore, when in good
working order, will send about
twelve words a minute. Under q
pressure fifteen and even seven
teen words have been sent in a
single minute. Gable messages Of
twelve words have been sent all the
way from New York to London in
side of two minutes. The return
service from London is not as
prompt. The attention of scientific
people has been called to the fact.
Most of them laugh at any sugges-
ton that this difference is due to
imperative natural causes. They
say the English clerks are dilatory,
full of angularity and the spirit Of
red tape, not prompt or pushing
in short, not as wide-awake and
active as their American competi.

for the delay, but it does not &C.
count satisfactorily to our mind fol

cation now in progress with a view
of settling the question.

ness frequent alleviaton of their
miseries.
Every one will remember the tes-
timony of John Stuart Mill to the
worth of his wife, which is to be
found in the dedication to her
memory printed at the commence
ment of one OF his essays: "To
the beloved and deplored memory
of her who was the inspirer, and in
part the author of all that is best
in my writings-the friend and
wife whose exalted sense of truth
and right was my strongest excite
ment, and whose appreciation was
my chief reward-I dedicate this
volume. 1t is said that such was
Mr.. Mills sorrow at her death that
he continued to reside at Avignon,
the place where she was buried,
that so he might continually visit
her tomb, and he never ceased to
lament her loss. Thomas Carlyle,
one Of the greatest intellectual
lights Of this century, has recorded
his testimony to the worth of his
wife on her tombstone: "1n her
bright existence she had more sor-
rows than are common, but also a
soft amiability, capacity for dis
cernment, and a noble loyalty of
heart which are rare. For forty
years she was the true and loving
helpmate Of her husband, and by
act and word unweariedly for
warded him, as none else could, in
all of worth that he did or at
tempted" The wife of Sir William
Hamilton, professor of logic in the
University of Edinburgh, was a
true helper to her husband; indeed,
it is more than probable that with
out her many of his best works
would never have been written.
When he was elected to the prOies-
sorship some of his opponents de-
clared publicly that he would never
be able to fulfill the duties of his
position, as he was nothing but a
dreamer. He and his wife heard of
this and determined to prove that
it was not true. They, therefore,
arranged to work together. Sir
William wrote out roughly each
day the lecture that was to be given
the next morning and as he wrote
his wife copied it out and again
and again they sat up writing till
far into the night. When Sir Will
liam was struck down with paraly-
sis, the result Of overwork, Lady
Hamilton devoted herself entirely
to him-wrote for him, read for
him and saved HIM in every way.
