QUEEN ELIZABETH.

This queen, in spite of the representations
of SO many historians, was a wanton in
morals, heartless in the cruelty of her dis
position, and ugly in person. In her sixty
face oblong, fair but wrinkled; her eyes
small, but black aid pleasant; her nose a
little hooked; her lips narrow, and teeth
black; she wore false hair, and that red;
her bosom uncovered;"- was this prin-
cess vain to the last degree, and as accessi-
BILE to fattery as any ever heard of, as tho
following instance may show:
When the States of Holland sent splen-
did embassy to her, at the first audience
one of the ambassadors suite said to an
English gentleman that he did not know
why they should speak with such indiffer-
ence of the queens beauty; that they dd
her great injury; that he thought her very
charming, and should be happy in having
so fine woman for his wife. The queen,
who had her eyes fixed upon the whole suite
of foreigners, when the audience was over,
sent for the English gentleman and COM
manded him, under pain of dipleasnre, to
tell her what the Dutchman had said to
him. The gentleman excused himself q
long time, pretending the conversation was
nothing but trife; the queen, however,
was determined to know what the discourse
was, upon which he told Her Majesty the
whole of what had been said. The conclu-
sion of the matter was that the ambassadors
were presented each with a chair of gold of
eight hundred crowns value, and their prin-
cipal attendants with one of one hundred
crowns each, but the gallant Dutchman,
who had found the queen SO very very
handsome, had chain of sixteen hundred
crowns value, which, it is said, Mynhee,
wore to the day of his death.

Where the roses show their crimson,
Where they shed their sweet perfume.

When sweet music charms the soul,

Where the heart then holds no caro-,
Where keep thee fond to memory

The London Times gives very inter
esting account of the success attending
the efforts to educate idiots and imbecie
children. The attempt has been spread
pver a period of several years, and at last
is meeting with success. The first train
ing school or institution having this end
distinctly in view was established at
Clapton, and the results prove SO favor
able that the Metropolitan Asylums
Board have been encouraged to continue
the experiment on much more extended
scale. 1t has been found that even in
the most idiotic brain there are latent
elements of intelligence that are capable
of development, and that the human
mind, however weak it may be from con-
genital causes or may have become from
the effects of disease, always furnishes
some ground for mental culture. This
fact being well established, the British
Government has at once taken steps to
erect number of idiot training schools.
Although America is far behind England
in the extent and liberality with which
her charitable institutions and asylums
are kept up, as well as in the humanity
of their management, there is no reason
why she should leave her idiots without
mental and moral culture. She is bur-
dened with many of them, and the worst
of it is very many of these occupy high
and influential positions in society and
the Government. A national institution
for the education of idiots established at
Washington, with branches at all the
State Capitals, would be rich in blessings
to the American people.

LAWS which provide liens for mechan-
les and laborers upon the result of their
toll are unjust to nobody and of immense
benefit to class of men who deserve all
the protection that legislation can give
them. Such laws are fortunately on the
increase. The Legislature of California
at its last session enacted the Logger's
Lien, whereby the great number of men
engaged in the dangerous and severe labor
of logging in the redwoods of that State,
are enabled to follow the logs cut by
them until they are paid for their serv-
ices.

Youth and beauty and the mating
birds once more welcome St. Valentines
Day, and the letter carriers are again
burdened with their suggestive and
highly ornamental missives of love. The
art of the engraver and printer has been
sorely taxed, as from time immemorial,
in stabbing crimson hearts with blood
tipped darts, and dispatching little
Cupids on errands of affection in the
Bcantiest of costumes, while love-sick
pigeons and turtle-doves once more are
represented in their famous billing and
cooling acts. Gruff old gentlemen and
mature spinsters, from whom the days of
Valentines have long since departed, look
upon these brilliantly illustrated epistles
with disdain, and lament that the youth
Of this generation is given over to such
follies. But it matters not to the young,
whose hearts continue to be pierced with
Cupid's shafts, and whose thoughts still
rs lightly turn to love in the spring as
the cooling doves will mate on st. Valen-
tines Day. 1t wasso with Adam and Eve
when perennial spring shed the perfume
Of apple blossoms over the Garden of
Eden, and so will it be when time grows

Hon. HoRATIo SEYMOUR, JR., State
Engineer and Surveyor of New York,
affirms that the opinion held by many
that canals and water routes have lost
their value for internal commerce has
proved to be unfounded. The Erie and
Oswego Canals have transported more
grain the past year than in any p eyious
year except during the war, when many
other routes were closed to that trade.
For this reason he urges that a small
share of the ]iberality shown to rail
r)ads by the State should now be dis
played toward the canals, and appropria-
tions made for extensions and improve
ments which he designates.
