Grants Early Sweetheart.

Hearing that there WAS u lady living
in this city who had once been courtcd
by General L. $. Grant, who had re-
fused her hand in early womanhood TO
this noted American civil and military
character. 4 Constitution reporter
sought an interview with the lady, with
very satisfactory results. The ncwspa-

relinquish the podgy fingers presented
to them. And yet what care has been
taken. what time has been wasted to in
sure complete mastery of the perform

masters of department have been sum-

pres,ionless look of the royal laly.
Familiarity with these scenes does
not remove the weird sensations; and yet
every available pretcxt is taken to re-
peat the ceremony. The Queen mem

Queen YictOria's Health.

The health of her Majesty the Queen
can never fail to be u matter o! supreme
interest to all classes of her subjects
The nation is at heart animated by u
loyal concern for the personal happi-
ness and welfare of its tried and trusted
sovereign. The people are stirred with
feelings OF mingled reverence for the
throne and ailcctionate regard for its
present occupant. 1t is no mere figure
of speech to say that lueen Victoria
lives in the hearts of those she rules
over. 1t is, therefore, not in the least
surprising that the notification of her
Majesty's projected visit to Mertone
should have excited much remark and
given rise to some anxiety. We believe
we are justified in stating that. while
there is need for the change, there is
no cause for concern as to the health of
the sovereign. II seems to have been
forgotten that the Queen is no mere
nominal head of this empire. Actual
and heavy state business passes daily
through her hands and taxes her atten-
ton severely. Her Majesty has never
been in the habit of attaching her sign
manual TO unread papers. She ascend

with strong sense of the duty and
responsibility imposed upon her, and
during the iengthened period which
has elapsed since her ascension the
Queen has given Il large share of her
attention to public business. Success
sivc Ministries have been formed. borne
the heat of the day, and fallen. leaving
their personnel TO seek and find relief
and recreation in retirement, but the
Queen has never been free from the
burden of state since she first wore the
crown. 1t is It real burden her Majesty
bears, Il burden, y care and anxiety,
and no human being could fail to feel
the continuous strain the bearing of
such burden necessarily producee.
These facts should not be forgotten.
The need for change of scene and eli
mate just now is great, but not in any
sense ominous. Ii her Majesty is able
to enjoy Il period of perfect repose in
retirement, she will doubtless return
with renewed strength TO the discharge
of her duties at the lifting time. Mean
while the people of this country should
understand that wearing crown or
welding scepter is no childs play,
even with u constitutional government.
