AN ANTEDlLUyIAN RELIC.

any unfounded expectations in the minds
Of our readers, it can be safely said that
there are some probabilities that frag-

into the lower depths when the hu.
man mind is brought front face to fact
like this.

Rumors of vague but somewhat
alarming character have been current fUi
some days with regard to the health Of
the Queen. have not hitherto alluded
to these reports, but they have become 50
persistent that it would be useless longer
to ignore their existence. 1t is said that
for some time past Her Majesty's health
has not been in very satisfactory state.
The death of the Duchess of Hesse gave
her a shock from which she has not re-
covered, and the fatigue incident on the
celebration Of the marriage Of the Duke
of CJnnaught exercised depressing in,
fluence on her health. The journey tc
Italy is not mere holiday trip. Sir W
Jenner considered that q change of scent
and an almost entire absence from officia
duty of any kind were necessary for the
Queen, and this is the reason why she
has buried herself on the secluded shore,
Of an italian lake.
It is no doubt in consequence of tht
somewhat gloomy statements regarding
Her Majesty health whic are passingiI
society that other reports connected witt
rent. 1t is said that unless a considera
bic change in Her Maje,ty's health take,
place she will no longer be able to dis
charge the functions which belong to the
sovereign Of the country, and rumol
points to the possibility of an abdication
1t is an undoubted fact that since the de
parture Of the Queen for Italy the Prm,
Minister has several times seen the Prime,
of Wales. On Tuesday he had an inter
view with His R,yAl highness of NOR

An Indian account of the death Of
Custer will not, | think, prove uninter-
csting. The Indians say that, after the
general stampede, Custer tried to rally
Ills men around him. He waved his pis-
tol in the air and shot it off twice to at
tract his men. Two or three gathered
around him, but, as the Indians contin-
ued to advance, one of the soldiers tried
to run away. Custer fired at him and
killed him, and then, seeing the case
quite hopeless, the Indians gathering
round from all parts, turned his revolver
on himself, preferring to die by his own
hand. The Indians say that they think
this person was Custer, as he was chief;
but they are not certain of the fact,
