to the Senate, where it will again be dis
cussed, though it will scarcely be possible
to throw more light upon it than it has re-
ceived from the able discussion in the
House. The vote taken in the House
shows that every republican member stood
squarely up against the passage of the bill.

Every Inch a Queen.

The queen of Italy, writes Roman
correspondent, is woman of reat spiri
She stands by her order as pluckily as
did Marie Antoinette, of France, whom
she resembles in person and face. She
has no idea of yielding an inch nor the
faintest line of an inch in her royal pre-
negatives. She is a Ssbsudienne as well
as her husband by blood and character,
and is a fine representative of the ruling
idea of Italian power which has possessed
the Savoy house ever since the eleventh
century, when the son OF Humbert of the
White Hands married Adelaide, the
heiress of Susa. She is true royal
Sabaudienne also in her virtue and hon.
orsble character. The royal women of
her house have been noted through tn
centuries and centuries for spotless lives.
Queen Marguerite, of Italy, is likewise
woman of her day, and has all the
versatility which charscterizes our sex
1nio SCAcho1iOn, aAN "nASn sweeps OfcI
so wide range of subjects and objects
that it makes an old-isshioned woman
breathless. The royal lady of Italy takes
an interest in everything, from the last
fashion to the last parliamentary debate
or ministerial squabble, from Dante to
the last Sonnet to Her Majesty" from
archaeology to ohitons, from St. Angus
tine to the last novel. She reads little
of everything; laughs over Bret Harte
and Mark Twain and discourses patly
and aptly upon social science, "Shak>
speare and the Musical Glasses" and
takes the trouble to cram herself for
certain interviews with literary celebri-
ties.

A MO&eI Heller.

A visitor to Mr.. Stars dairy at Litchs
field, Conn.,, thus describes one of his
heifers. He calls her the most perfect
of any animal he has seen in the coun.
try:
81 saw this animal in November last !;
she was then four years old, and newly
calved. She was giving, at the time,
forty.two pounds of milk daily, and
three days milk made six pounds and
three-qusrters of as beautiful butter as
one could wish, being at the rate of
fifteen and three-quarter pounds week,
in the month of November, no grass, but
a bitter cold wind sweeping over the
hills, the mere recollection of which
makes me shiver. Considering the
season and the age of the COW, l think
this is a record few can reach. From
the 29th of October, 1878, to the Slst of
December, 1873, this extraordinary
animal yielded 1864 pounds of milk,
making an average of over Az pounds
per day for Ga days. As 'Filbert' only
weighs LOGS pounds herself, she gave,
during the two months, much more thsn
her own weight in milk each month.
