Queen Victoria does not think it too

a very regular visitor to the Windsor

in one of the reception rooms with those
acqdaintances who feel at liberty to drop
in and chat with him. When he passes
through the corridors he is the centre OF
observation. Points from him are eagerly
sought, even at second hand. A well
known broker yesterday quoted friend OF
Mr.. Vanderbirs as saying that Mr.. Van

AN EXCEEDINGLY GREEDY Cow Hon
Harrison Bailey, of Kentucky, owns a
COW which is highly valued. A few nights
ago she got into cornfeld and filled
herself so full of the provender there thai
she was unable TO rise VIII n she laid
down, and nothing short of her death was
expected until n neighbor came along and
undertook to relieve her by plungng
butcher knife into her flank Just in front OF
the hip bone. This failed to have the
desired effect and another neighbor pro
posed 10 enlarge the hole made by the
knife and remove the food. To this the
owner would not consent until convinced
that she would die anyway, and then the
experiment was tried. and fully six bush
els of undlgested corn, cornstalks and
grass, in Il state of fermentation, were
removed from her paunch. The opening
was then closed, and in short time the
animal was on her feet, and rs contentedlv

had happened, and is to dly as we'll a,

victory was on the side of the bravest and
most skillful. There was not the UNDER
current of sorrow which too often makes
victory almost as melancholy as defeat.
Threatening to murder the prince of
Wales was jointly considered by Mr..
Justice Hawkins as q crime so serious
that he felt bound TO pass on William
Brookshaw the severe sentence OF ten
years PENAL servitude. 1t will be remem-
bered that the prisoner sent letter to
Colonel Teesdale at Marlborough House
last month making demand for money,
and threatening in case Of refusal to 'serve
his royal highness worse than Lord Fred
erick Cavendish.' Colonel Teesdale
instantly put this outrageous document in
the hands of the police, and the prisoner
was promptly arrested.
The debates upon the cloture, or, as its
advocates prefer to say. parliament

points at issue are eagerly debated, and in
some cases emphatically condemned. 1t
is felt that the government is not carry ing
quite so much sail at first. The proverb-
tally cooling effect of second thoughts
is affecting not few OF the premier S
majority. In particular, the right OIL
suspendng members of parliament in a
mass causes much agitation, not so much
because of the use Of that plan to check
obstruction. as because, soone: or later,
events might happen which would make
such right so great temptation to those
who happened to be in power. One Of
the arguments used in that suspending
members in body saves time, and pro-
duces stronger impression.

The most sumptuous, beautiful and
desirable of the Christmas papers by all
odds, is Harper & Brothers "Christmas. "
In size, illustrations, paper and typogra-
ply it is simply superb, The illustrations
are by the Tile Club" of New York, and
some of them, as the large New England
winter landscape, and others of the larger
and smaller cuts, touch very high mark
of progress in wood engraving. The
contents are by such writers as Howells,
Mark Twain, Geo. VIM Curtis, Z. Deming
and others of national fame. and the
articles and poems are, of course, appro-
pirate to the Christmas time. Opinions
will differ as to the merit of Mr.. Vedder's
Samson" which accompanies the Christ
mas; but all will admit that it is striking
Goth in design and execution. The Har.
pers have eclipsed themselves in this
elegant issue, and it is cheap at its price
to every one who has an eye for choice
productions of the gravcr, the pen and the
| press. Address Harper & Brothers, New

Just at the moment when the burning
question of the soil and its tllers in Ire
land is showing symptoms OF a settle
ment the old dark spot of prospective
famine appears on the horizon. N ow, as
thirty years ago, the potato is the staple
article of diet amongst many thous ands of
Irish in the south and west, and a failure
in the snpply of this vegetable entails the
most fearful sutferings. Already there
are unmistakab!e signs thht the stock in
hand is diminished to a dangerously low
point, and that the seedlings for next
season have, in numerous instances, been
tt5lched upon. The advent of another
anime would seriously delay the work of
justification in Ireland, us it would provide
materials for The irreconcilable party who
still clumor for repeal. One of the first
duties Of II government is TO provide for
lie necessities Of the people to such an
extent us shall prevent them dying OF
hunger. Failing in this, any government
loses its right to govern at all. and
iustilies the claim for change. Both
land acts and coercive measures are
equally powerless to deal with the argu-
ments of starving peasants. The primary
duty Of the state is to fill their stomachs,
as the prelude to convincing them of its
good intentions.

We do net regret the publishing of the
letters, as the fullest revelation of the
methods of both parties in their great
contests is the best safeguard against the
successful repetition of such methods as
are wrong. And in the end the study of
letters and kilograms may have a very
good effect on American politics. The
writers and senders will be blamed or
justified according to what they wrote

Did you ever think, asks II Paris paper,
how many male and female ancestors were

it was necessary that yon should have
father and mothor,-that makes two

have had father and mother,-that
makes eight human beings. So on we
must 60 back for fifty six generations,
which brings us only to the time of Jesus
