" Tie crowning of the May Queen passed
off very pleasantly in Killingly. We do
not remember, just now, any record of a
Queen mounting her throne dressed in a
waterproof and a pair Of rubbers, with a
slice of pork done up in red flannel around
her throat; but these old historical cos

breaking into field and eating up the

says that large quantities of wheat in that
State have been destroyed by fish during
the past winter, owing to the submersion
of the fields by high water, and the fish
feeding on the tender grain roots.

since vanished into the business abyss of

Secretary of the Navy lending money on a
wildcat security like EST. Joe and Denver
Railroad" would be amusing if it were
not too mournful as showing the reck-
less and profigate manner in which
the credit of the government has been
used for personal and private aggrandize-
ment. We really cannot see even the
shadow of an explanation for this transact
ton. 1t was bad enough to take from our
credit the support of a house like Barings
and burden it with rickety concerns like
those of Cooke and Clews But that might be
excused, as so much of what Grant has done
is excused from day to day, on the theory
that it was an ''error of judgment" desire
to laid the party" and "help" few good
fellows who wanted to be bankers" But
nothing can excuse this throwing of mill
ion and a half of good money into the
morass of 'Jay Cooke, McCulloch
& Company" after it was known that
the head of the concern died in
Philadelphia, and that no life was left
in its English limb The Belknap business
was scandalous in every way, but we seri-
ously question whether the vulgar and
shameless greed of Belknap, who did not
hesitate to rob the poor soldiers on the
Plains for diamond and lace money, is in
itself an offence as grave as what now stands
proved against the Secretary of the Navy
and the President on no less evidence than
the letters and dispatches of Mr.. Robson
himself
So, with all our desire to think we'll of
those who rule us-of the President, the Cab
met and all in authority-how hard it is to
do so in the face of these daily recurring
evidences of maladministration and crime
We trust the committees of the House will
probe this matter to its depths, that they
will demand from the Secretary the amplest
explanation, and that unless this explanation
is so full that there can be no question of
the honest intentions of the Secretary he
shall be called upon to stand side by side
with Belknap before the Senate and answer
to the country for an abuse of power which
seems to be crime that very kind of crime
intended by the constitution in providing
impeachment as a remedy and a punish
ment.

The Brazilian Emperor,s Journey.

Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil has already
put eight hundred miles between him and
Rio Janeiro on his way to New York. Yester-
day morning he arrived in the splendid Bay
of All Saints, from above which the fine city
of Bahia looks down on its fair expanse.
Much as His Majesty would have wished to
crafty the loyalty of his Balkan subjects by
spending q day or two among them, he
proved too careful constitutional ruler to
violate the quarantine law which forbade
communication between ship and shore. &c.
after accepting such welcome as could be
given under the circumstances, the good
ship Hevelius turned her head, at five in the
afternoon, for Pernambuco, from which
point we hope soon to hear of His Majesty.
Our special correspondent informs us-what
will be read with sincere pleasure here-that,
while DESTROYS of avoiding public recep-
tons, His Majesty will be glad to
meet in person the illustriou9 Ameri-
cans he has met only in books and on
the lips of Fame. The Emperor proposes
and intends to visit California before attend
ing the Philadelphia Exhibition; but if the
latter opens, rs expected, on the 10th of May,
it would leave him only twenty days from
his arrival here to cross the continent and
return, if he would take part in the opening
ceremonies. This, we are sure, the authori-
ties will respectfully press upon him, and
st is to be hoped His Majesty will be
able to make some other arrangements
to fill up his tire proftably in
other directions than making straight line
across the continent, and so take part in the
opening ceremonies, which will be simple
enough to please his taste. Our public
functionaries should see to it that becoming
preparations are made for His Majestys re-
ception, as there are many ways of publicly
honoring the ruler of a friendly American
nation well within the lines, outside ofwhich
it is not the Emperor's desire to be placed
before the American people.

The Czar's Health.

The German influences at the Russian I'm
perial Court have been, during the last CEN
fury, strengthened by ties of blood relation
ship, and since the time of Peter the Great
they have been more or less felt. OF
late years two formidable forces have been
operating to weaken this feeling of alliance
inside and outside of Court circies-one
the nativist party, which, among the aristoc-
racy, presents Russianism as the main stay
and Outstanding as the mission of the
Muscovite Empire; the other the socialist
party, which attracts all classes, and, while
distinctively Russian, is opposed to the CEN
tralized sway of the Empire, no matter how
benefcently exercised. Outside of Russia
it is hard to measure these forces, but it is
evident that the prospect Of even a
temporary change in the ruling spirit
at st. Petersburg causes dismay among
the European statesmen who are salts
fed with the present bearing towards each
other of the leashed imperial tigers which
constitutes the chance of peace and pres
ervation of the balance of power. The
health of the Emperor Alexander has not
been good for many years rumors of his
gloominess almost amounting to misan-
thropy have been fitting about; the
word insanity has been uttered once
or twice; but without seeking an exact
diagnosis of the Emperor's disease the
ukase Of his physicians sentencing
him to prolonged residence abroad may be
taken to indicate that his bodily state is
far from reassuring. If the absence from
Russia is to be a long one regent will in
all probability be necessity, and that this
would devolvo on the present Czarewitch,
Alexander Alexandrovitch, is apparent.
This young prince is an ardent nativist,
and hence the haste with which the European
diplomats furry themselves over the first
warning of what must be sooner or later.
