saws
In introducing the toast Of Her Majesty" it
might be supposed that Mr. Lowell had a difficult
and delicate task for the Queen must be praised,
and fer an American to be, under such circum
stances, at once eulogistic and honest. is a nice
achievement But Mr. Lowell, who combines ex-
IRENE tact With perfect straightforWa rdness, turn
ed the flank Of the problem with complete facility.
He told little personal anecdote of the sovereign :;
how, when he presented his credentials and was
at the same time suffering under terrible ankle
ty" This wife was dangerously ill.l 'the Queen
pressed an interest in my trouble and inquired at
ter the welfare Of what was dear to me in a tone
that went straight to my heart, as | am certain it
came from her own These words were spoken
with simplicity and eioGuence that produced a
deep impression upon the audience and were fol
lowed by hearty applause
We do not see why it should be difficult for an
intelligent Amorean to praise Queen Victoria
We are supposed to look with extreme disfavor up
on crowned heads, it is true but Victoria became
Queen Of England without any fundamentally Of
her own and as wife and mother she has earned
the admiration and respect of the civilized world
While this country has had good cause for com
plant at times against the English government
the Queen has ever been friendly toward us 1t is
evident that Mr.. Lowell found the task neither
difficult nor delicate, and the little personal
qualities which have commended the Queen of
England to many more than her own subjects
Perhaps Mr. Hawthorne conjured up the "ditficul-
ty" to make his compliment to Mr. Lowell the

where Conkling had become the synonym

jorities; but in the city Of New York
and in Brooklyn, where to very consid-
cradle extent there is non partisan vot-

at that time the local issues initiated
against Hancock" Soon after the cleo
ton Mr.. Conkling began to devise means
to entrap the President that he might
accuse him of ingratitude if he found
himself unable to retain his hold upon
the Federal offices in New York. He en-
deavored to name the Secretary of the
Treasury, which, with his other patron
age, would have made him all powerful !;
but he failed in this, and the nomination
Of Judge Robertson was the signal for his
revolt. He then deserted his party, and
not content with this act of pertidy has
sought to involve in his quarrel Gen.

If it were the close instead Of the begin

be different. But this matter finally dis

Memorial Day was more generally OBJ
served this year in Maine, and through
out the country, than for some years past.
There does not appear to have been a
concerted effort in this direction. 1t was
spontaneous movement, which shows
that those who have fancied they saw
signs of gradual decadence in the OBJ
servance of the ceremonies of the day,
were mistaken. Since 1863 May Both has
been set apart for decorating with flowers
the graves of those who died in their
country's cause, and there is every reason
to believe that this tender and patriotic
duty will be performed for many, many
years to come. And in the words of
President Lincoln at Gettysburg let the
day be so observed
That from these honored dead we take increased
devotion TO the cause for which they here gave the
last full measure OF their devotion-that we here
highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in
vain that the nation shall under God have new
birth OF freedom, and that government of the peo-
pie by the people, and for the people, shall not
perish from the earth

The New York Herald reports the pulpit com

generally favorable. The London correspondent of
the New York Tribune telegraphs that the revised
version has been received in England with al al
most unbroken chorus OF disapproval. Most of the
daily papers give elaborate criticisms, all condem-
natery. These articles quote scores of examples
where the changes were purely frivolous and ca
prclous and denounce the selfopinionated schol
arship of the motley combination of theologians
and professors which has distigured, manged aud
made unacceptable some Of the noblest passages
in the Bible. The Saturday Review complains of
the childish pedantry Of the revsers and describes
the new version as sadly inferior to the old one i'll
