got the county clcrkship, much to the dis

to be congratulated upon their success oven

of a scalrOld, which had been put up across

Tuesday, Queen Victoria completed the
forty fifth year Of her reign, which exceeds
that OF Queen Elizabeth 10y several months,
Elizabeths reign lasting forty four years,
four months and seven days Victoria has
attended tie funeral Of every premier who
has served under he, except that of Nj
| Gladstone, who has now oyerworked bun
self 50 that his royal mistress may at any
time be called upon TO lament his death.
| The only sovereign living who was on the
throne when Victoria was crowned is the
ex .Quean Isabella, Of Spain, and she lost
her throne III 1888, and is not permitted to
reside permanently in Spain. The most
brilliant premieIs who have hold Office UNI

Alcohol paid into the British treasury
In 1874 $4,000, 900. In 1881 the sum was
reduced to fl45,0O0,000 These figures the
Pail Mall Gazette cites from the budget,
quoting Mr. lIoyle in estimating the aver
age yearly expenditure on drink of each
English man, woman, and child in 1870 to
have been more than $50, and 10 1881 to
have fallen to less than $40. The Gazette
attributes this, first, to the want Of money
to buy liquor, secondly, to the coffee house
movement; and, thirdly, to the "Blue Rib
bon" and religious temperance societies,
notably those supported by the Catholic
clergy, and the salvation Ahhy." The cf-
feet Of this diminution in the use of stimu-
lants is shown in the immediate increase in
the amount Of money deposited in the'1
! savings banks. In 1880 the working classes
deposited $685., 100000, in 1881 there were
deposits amounting to $225,0O0000 in the
old savings banks, and in the postal savings
banks, just established, over $ISj,OOO, 600.
All these savings, however, the Gazette
adds significantly, do not yet amount to 10
per cent. of the money spent in liquor.
