SOME sensational society scribbler
has suggested the idea of a masrimo-
NAL alliance between the remaining
unmarried daughter of Queen Vic
toria and President Arthur; or
rather lie claims that the idea was
originated by the Queen herself, to
more fully cement the affection of
the two great nations. If this is
the only object to be subserved,
the match making sovereign might
Just as we'll drive her geese to some

pie do not pin their hearts to any

matter OF utter indifference to them
whether Mr.. Arthur malries prin
cess or pauper, SO that her wo-
manly graces adorn the position she
is called upon to occupy.

The Law of Succession.

Probably on no subject Is there
more diversity of opinion than
who would succeed the Vice Presi-
dent in the Presidential office should
it ever become vacant before the Sen
ate has elected presiding officer.
Some hold that the Chief Justice CT
the Supreme Court would become
President, and others that the sue
cession descsnIs to the Speaker Of
the House Of Repre- aenta'lvvs, either
Of whom would fill the Office the
remainder of the term. THIS is hot
tho case.
The Boston Tac,itr has been
looking up tue law, and it appears
that the statute of 1892 Sections
147, liS and 40 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States), which
would govern in such an exisency,
provide that:
Whenever the offices of President and
Vice President both become vacant, the
Secretary of State shall forthwith cause Il
notification tncreotto hr made to the Exc
cutive Of every State, and shall caIi>'. the
same to be published i'll at least one vi the
newspapers printed in each State.
The notification shall specify that eiec-
tors of President ard Vice ! resident of
the United States shall be appointed or
chosen i'll the several States as follows:
T..
months yet To cnsue between the date o..
such notification and the first "Wednesday
in December then next ensuing, such
notification shall specify that the electors
shall be appointed or chosen within III
days preceding such first Wednesday i'll
December.
2.If there shall not he the space of two
months between the date of such noliti-
cation and such first "Wednesday i'll De
cember, and if the term for which the
President and Vice President last in
office were elected will not expire on the
Sd day of March next ensuing, the noti-
tication shall specify that the electors
shall he appointed or chosen within -
days preceding the first Wednesday in
December in the year next ensuing. But
if there shall not bc the space of two
months between the date of such notiii-
cation and the first Wednesday i'll De-
cemher then next ensuing. and if the term
tor which the President and Vice PreSi-
dent last Ill ONCE were elected WILL expire
on the 81 day of March next ensuing, the
notification shall not specify that electors
are to be appointed or chosen.
Electors appointed or chosen upon the
notification presented by the preceding
section shall meet and give their votes
upon the first Wednesday of December
specified in the notification.
The practical application Of which
is that, in the event of President
Arthur's de2th, the President pro
tenn. of the Senate, would only act
as President during short inter.
regnum-two months at the least,
and twelve at the most-pending a
new election by the people, of a
President and Vice President.
Should the President die before
the election of q President of the
Senate pro tenn, there would be no
living person designated by the
Constitution or the laws to act as
President until the meeting of the
Senate, but there being n Cabinet
which represents the Executive. the
Government would nevertheless go
right CD until the Senate should
elect its President

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. -
The title of Council Bill No. IS, OF
our late Legislative session reads as
follows: An act for the appoint
ment of inspector of coal mines in
Washington Territory, and to pro-
vide how they shall be ventilated"
Now this is an encouraging step,
to say the least. We have long
thought that inspectors needed
looking after, and according to the
text and genius of the above bill,
they should submit to q thorough
ventilation. School inspectors, road
inspectors boiler inspectors aud hull
inspectors all need more or less
ventilation, good shaking up and
airing; but inspectors of our coal
mines, par ercellance, should be
often put through this wholesome
and heathful ordeal. Aside from the
sanitary advantages to he derived,
who knows how many OF those fear
full coal mine explosions might be
averted if our inspectors were effec-
tually ventilated and fuinisated, in
strict accordance with the wise
provisions of the excellent bill under
consideration But we have not
time to dilate further on the SUBJ
ject. Whenever Il new coal mine
inspector is appointed according to
law, let the proper authorities see to
it that he is from time to time thor
oughly ventilated.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. "a, 1882.

Parental APPARITIoS.--Presidcnt Tyler had
sister who was reckoned one of the most gifted
women of her day. She lived with her father,
Governor Tyler, at Greenway, in Charles City
county, Va. One night, while sleeping in the bed
with cousin, young woman of her own age, she
awoke and saw her mother who had been dead
for some months, sitting in the window seat. 1t
was bright night in summer, and under the
window was the bed of q younger sister, who was
an infant at the time of her mothers death. The
apparition leaned over the child and gaZed in
tently on it. She looked steadily at it without
tho least alarm. Now comes the strangest part of
of the story The girl lying by her side said,
quietly, Maria, there is your mother" Then the
form melted away. Some years afterward, after
Governor Tylers death, his daughter was at
Greenway again. One night one of Mrs. Tyler's
children became ILL., and her sstcr-in-law went to
the nursery to help to take of it. She suggested
that she should get remedy from her own room,
and, taking candle in her hand started for it.
On her return, as she passed the staircase, she
saw her father standing before her. The same
idea flashed into her mind that she could hold
the apparition by her fixed gaze. She observed
it carefully, and recognized certain suit of brown
cloth which she had sometimes seen the governor
wear, and she was selfpGsscsscd enough to look
for a mole his forehead, which was birth
mark. Mrs. Tyler, after waiting some minutes,
called to her mother to hasten, whereupon the
figure vanished
