The ATTEMPT ON THE QUEENS LIFE

1t is very remarkable fact that al
though seven attempts upon the life of
Queen Victoria have been made since she
assembled the throne in 1887, not one of
them has put her in the least danger, or
has appeared to have been anything more
than the impulse OF insanity or of NOR
bid desire for notoriety. The last attempt
is apparently of the same purposeless kind.
The man who fred the shot at the Queens
carriage does not seem to have known very
we'll what he did it for, and though there
is just now some talk of plot having been
discovered, we are satisfied from the clum-
siaess OF the whole proceeding, first, that
the man was alone in the business, and,
second, that he had not rehearsed it.
When serious plots are formed, the results
are more serious. When faction like the
Nihilists undertake the assassination of
sovereign, they 60 to work with deadly
earnestness and employ the most ire

Modelling undertakes a similar deed, he
fills his gun with slugs, and prepares place
and time, and at last fires to kill. But

A NICE GAME.-Some of the old saints
have invented new kind of pedco. Wher.
ever anybody catches anybody else's pedro,
the party winning has the right to kiss the
other five times. The game is played with
an equal division of the sexes. The other
evening old Bishop - fixed up a pack Of
cards with nine pedros and started game
right in among some of the prettiest girls
of the ward. 1t happened, however, that
the girls anticipated his little game, and
had pack all ready without any pedros in
it. They rung in the cold deck on the old
fellow aud started the game. He made
some big bids, expecting to capture some
pedros, and got set back on the board every
time. All this time the girls kept exclaim-
ing, "Oh, amt this nice game; so excit-
ing" After playing an hour the old fellow
didn't see the color of a single pedro, and
the chances and giggles Of the girls coused
him to suspect that the daughters of Zion
were rather getting the best Of him. He
finally got so far off the board that he was.
comparatively speaking, out of sight, and
finally gave up the place to young man
who was seated near by, watching the
game. In twinkling the girls trausposed
the packs again, and tor the next two hours
the sounds of smacks that young man won
could be heard all over the room. [Salt

sHIeHERD PATRIOTS.

Mr.. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, appears

honor of this nation is to be trailed in the
dust by Mr.. Frelinghuysen. He thinks
Mr.. Blaine's foreign policy was noble
and grand one, and that it was base and
wicked rot to follow it up. Unfortu.
nately there is nothing in the Constitution
to prevent public men from making public
fools of themselves, no matter whether
they be Secretaries of State or members of
Congress. Mr.. Whitthorne, however, has
been requested to moderate his transports
until it can be ascertained definitely
whether or not all the dreadful things
he apprehends have happened or were
about to happen, and meantime Mr..
Frelinghuysen will no doubt pursue
the even tenor Of his way undisturbei

A New WoNDER.-Dr. Vanderpool re-
lated the other day discovery of. won-
derful subterranean river out on the desert
west of Bear creek buttes. He gave the
names of the gentlemen who were so fortu-
nate in finding such natural curiosity, as
well as one which will perhaps become very
useful to that extremely dry, arid place,
but we have not the names at hand, and
will omit them for the present. Those
who discovered this underground river
were travelling along quietly when the at
tention OF the crowd was attracted by the
sound of running waters-not the sound of
trickling stream, but the noise OF a great
volume of water. as of a mighty river
rushing and roaring as it tumbled over
its rocky bed. A largo hole in the
ground, around which coyotes had dug
passages down to the water, disclosed to
the astonished vision a living stream of
water, flowing at rapid rate under the old
lava, about twelve feet from the surface Of
the ground. The party tssayed TO descend.
but were not prepared to run any risks,
and gave it up, the descent being very
difficult through rocks and lava. There is
an old river bed near there, and the theory
might be advanced that at some time il
past ages change in the surface OF the
country, by some natural CONFUSION, has
changed the course of the river There is
one thing certain: the old river-bed is
there to speak for itself, far away from any
visible water, and there is the subterranean
river to be seen by any who will take the
trouble to look. Il Prineville News.

This park has a review ground which is

n and Lee

The London Times says in the second
article Of its review Of the military history
Of Ulysses s. Grant, by Badeau: The su-
thor considers that Lee on this occasion
gave no indication OF great offensive quail
ties. Bold in conception aud even In at.
tempt, he was weak in execution. Gem
eral Badeau admits, however. that Lee was
great when on the defensive. To
mind this adverse criticism Of Lees tao
tics is not borne out by facts. The truth
ia that neither of the rival Generals gained
any advantage, and a. General Grant had
q definite object which he failed to attain.
the advantage, ii any, may be said TO have
rested with Les. Moreover the Confeder-
ate commander was vastly inferior in num-
bers to his opponent. On the other hand.
the ground was in Lees favor. In short.
both Generals displayed great skill, both
armies remarkable %gallantry. General
Badeau seeks to e%xtenuate General Grants
failure by asserting that the battle was
the first OF a series OF blows by which he
intended to shstter the Confederaoy.

All. well-a-day! The grandames say
That they had merry times
When they were young. and gayly rung
The May-day morning chimes;
Before the dark was gone, the lark
Had left her grassy nest,
And, soaring high, set all the sky
A.throb from East to West.
The hawthorne bloom, with rich perfume
Was whitening English lanes,
The dewy air was everywhere
Alive with Msy-day strains;
And laughing girls with tangled curtis
And eyes that cleaned and glanced,
And rudy boys with mirth and noise,
Around the May-pole danced.
All me. the sight of such delight.
The Joy. the whirl. the din,
such merriment, such glad content
How could II be a sinY
When children crowned the Msy-pole round
With daisies from the sod.
What was 1t, pray, but their child's way
OF giving thanks to GodS
The wild bee sups from buttercups
The honey at the brim:
May I not take their buds and make
A posy up for Him?
This May-day cool and bright
And, see away on Boston Bay
The lines Of shimmering hghtS
gather there great punches fair
OF May flowers as I roam,
And with them round my forehead crowned,
Go ladeusd with them home,
And than, II Bsas and I should dress
A Msy-pole with our wreath,
Ana just for play. this holiday,
Should dara TO dance beneath,
My fathers brow would tsown snowi
-"Child why hast thou a mind
For Popish days and English ways.
And lusts we've left behind ?"
Our grandame says that her May-days,
With mirth, and song, and flowers,
And lit of rhymes and village chimes,
We're happier far than ours.
If. as l ween. upon the green,
She'danced with merry din,
Yet lived to be the saint I see,
How can I count it SIM
