Queen VictOria's Eccentricities.

The court etiquette has grown more
rigid and infiexible during these
months of increasing morbidness, and
soon, it is feared, the queen will be as
far removed from her people as q
Chinese emperor. She carries out her
wilful insistence upon etiquette in
every least detail, and even when it
concerns only her own children and
grandchildren. When the Princess
Louise returned from Canada and ar
rived at Windsor she was kept wait
ing until she had changed her attire
and until the queen sent word she
was prepared to receive her. 1t is
reported that the princess entered
the drawingroom in the evening to
await dinner, dressed in most lovely
crimson velvet gown, with crimson
silk hose to match. The queen, hap
pening to espy the princess feet, said:
do you not know that colored stock
ings are not permitted in my pres
ence9 Go to your room at once and
change your stockings" And so the
poor princess came down to dinner in
a crimson velvet dress wearing white
stockingsl
Not one of the royal children ever
visits the queen except by special and
formal invitation. Her majesty APP
points the hour for her own children
to come and for them to go. One can
imagine the unnaturalness OF such a
household. The prince consort was
stately, but he was genial, happy,
mirth-loving gentleman. He was
most affectionate husband and father,
and no royal etiquette ever stood in
the way of his fine German hearth
ness. Since his death his children
have had no parental companionship,
and they are as far removed from the
queen as though they had not been
born of her.
1t is well known that the prince of
Wales has very great influence with
his mother, and is personally deeply
attached to her. He was a constant
companion of his father, and he quite
remembers how his father managed
the queen in the old days. The prince
is said 10 be most charming in his re-
lations to his mother, and is always
upon his most beautiful manners in
her presence. He at times does ap-
proach her with great affection and
even tenderness of feeling and dem
onStration.

The Age of Inventions.
cincinnati Times-Star.l


The number of inventions that have
been made during the past fifty years
is, perhaps, unprecedented in the his
tory of the world. Of course, inven-
tions of benefit to the human race
have been made in all ages since man
was created; but, looking back for
half hundred years, how many more
are crowded into the past fifty than
into any other fifty since recorded
history The perfection of the locomo-
tive, and the now world travelling
steamship, the telegraph, the tele-
phone, the audiphone, the sewing ma
chine, the photograph, chrome litho-
graphic printing, the cylinder print
ing press, the elevator for hotels and
other many STORED buildings, the cot
ton gin and the spinning jenny, the
reaper and mower, the steam thresher,
the steam fire engine, the improved
process for making steel, the applica-
ton of chloroform and ether;te destroy
sensibility in painful surgery cases,
and so on through long catalogue
Nor are we yet done in the field of in
vention and discovery. The applica-
ton of coal gas and petroleum to heat
ing and cooking operations is only
trembling on the verge of successful
experiment, the introduction of the
steam from a great central reservoir
to general use for heating and cook
ing is foreshadowed as among the
coming events, the artificial produc-
ton Oh butter has already created
CONSERVATION among dairymen, the
navigation of the air 10y some device
akin to our present balloon would
also seem to be prefgured, and the
propulsion of machinery by electricity
is even now clearly indicated by the
march of experiment. There are
some problems we have hitherto
deemed impossible, but are the
mysteries of even the most improb-
able of them more subtle to grasp
than that of the ocean cable or
that of the photograph or the tele-
phone? We talk by cable with an
ocean rolling between; we speak in
our own voices to friends hundred
miles or more from where we articu-
late before the microphone. Under
the blazing sun of July we produce
ice by chemical means, rivalling the
most solid and crystalline production
of nature. Our surgeons graft the

FOREIGN dispatches say that the
German government has warned the
preachers not to praise Luther too
highly in their prayers on the four
hundredth anniversary of his birth,
which will be celebrated November
Gil. If this report be true the gov
ernment's action is intended not so
much to deprecate Luther's character
as to prevent Roman Catholics from
taking offense at a too enthusiastic
appreciation of the great reformer. 1t
illustrates the change that has come
over Prince Bismarck, that he should
now appear to care more for the Cath
olic than for the Protestant portion
of the German people, while it is only
ten years since he was making the
Roman church as uncomfortable as
possible. Just now he seems to have
taken the position of the old lady who
said that she always made her chill
dren speak respectfully of the devil,
for no one knew what might happen.

High License and Prohibition.

1n0ldIdpOllS 1lneS.l
The difference between high license
and prohibition was never better il
Illustrated anywhere than in Kansas
CITY last Sunday. 1t is well known
that Kansas City is part in Missouri
and part in Kansas, with nothing but
an imaginary line dividing the two.
This line runs along the centre of
street. In Missouri they have a
high license law, and in Kansas the
sale of all kinds of liqnor is totally
prohibited. The high license law of
Missouri prohibits the sale on Sunday.
Last Sabbath was the first since the
supreme court had affirmed the con-
stitutionality of the law, and the Off
GERS had announced that they intended
to enforce its provisions. 1t was
impossible in the Missouri part of the
CITY to get glass of liquor, while
over on the Kansas side the saloons
of all kinds were kept open, and the
thirsty Missourians had nothing to
do but to cross the street to get all
they wanted. Never before was
there as quiet and orderly Sun
day in Kansas City proper as
that of this week. A high license
law with stringent provisions can be
enforced, and the sale of intoxicants
thus restrained to great extent,
while with the present public sentii
ment prohibition cannot be enforced
to an extent that viii accomplish the
end sought for. The attention of
practical temperance men everywhere
is turned toward the question of high
license, and there is probability that
temperance legislation will take a
decided step forward. In Kansas City
the license is now $3.50. This high

THE efficacy of the Edmunds law
is undergoing test in Salt Lake City,
and the outcome depends upon the
firmness of woman. She is the
third wife of a saint" who is being
prosecuted for polygamy. When pro-
duced in court as witness against
her husband" she refused to say
whether she had ever been married or
not, or to answer any questions put
to her. She was fined $25 and sent to
Jail, there to remain until she became
a tractable witness. Without her
evidence it is hardly possible to estab-
lish case against the accused, and,
as the woman has the sympathy and
support of the entire Mormon organi-
cation, it is not thought she will
give in.

Plague and Panic.
ILnndon Snectator.l


The panic which the cholera is ap-
parently exciting in Egypt will hard
ly increase the respect in which the
Western world is held by Orientals
who have to submit to its guidance.
The knowledge of life in which the
West excels the East is in part COM
pensated by the undignified dismay
and confusion with which anything
like a general notice to quit is received
among the western races by whom
the art of living has been so effectual-
~ studied. Mr.. Kinglake described,

vacity, between forty aud Efty years

tween the conduct of the Levantines

ing from the touch of every fluttering
garment or rag in the city, as if it
were sentence of death-and as if,
too, but for the plague, men would be
immortal-and the conduct of the
Mohammedans, who calmly pitched
their tents for the celebration of their
religious festival, and hung swings
for their children, in the very burial
ground where the bowls of the arriv-
ing funerals were heard, hour after
hour, proclaiming the rapid depopula-
ton of the great city. The oriental,

WHAT SANITATION DOES.

Any effort to arouse the municipal
authorities of Austin to a proper
sense of sanitary matters is futile,
but the incompetents now holding
the reigns of city government
may after while be COTTON out of the
way, and agitation of the question
may serve to bring forth good in the
future. Sanitation in densely settled
communities is vital necessity, and
it may be hoped that Austin will be
benefited by the worlds experience.
and that something will be done for
the benefit of public health heretofore
a terrible lesson in epidemic disease
teaches that too long already have
natures laws been violated. Eng
land has had, time and again, sad ex-
periences in the ravages of epidemic
diseases. The decimating pestilences
of the east have often swept
across the British isles, and
statistics show with what effect sani-
tation has been employed in its cities.
The cholera scare is bringing out a
discussion of the subject, and Capt.
Douglas Gallon, long associated
with social science investigation, has
been presenting the English people
with "hard facts" as to the cause of

The people of Montana are prepar-
ing to ask for the admission of that
territory as a state into the Union.
As the territory is Democratic in pol
itics its application is likely to re-
ceive favorable consideration in the
next house, but the Republican senate
may interpose bar. Speaking of the
subject of Montana's admission, not
very long ego, Delegate Maginnis said
that the creation of new states had
become solely political question,
and he could see no prospect of his
territory getting into the Union until
there should be a congress Demo-
cratic in both branches.

IN FORMALLY accepting the chair
manship of the Virginia Republican
state committee, eX-Congressman
Dezendorf takes occasion to vigor-
ously express his opinion of Malone
He appeals to the 10000 Republicans
of Virginia, by the memory of the
grand record of their party and its
glorious achievements, to stand by
their colors. He begs them to ANAL
gamate with party having no natu-
raj existence. He charges that Ma
hone has sacrificed Republicans in
order to prosecute Readjuster Demo
Gratis. He arraigns Malone as boss
of the most deSpotic type; one who
makes public Office the subject of bar
ter and sale, and who has introduced
bribery and corruption into the legis-
lative halls. Mr.. Dezendorf, in short
paints Malone about as black as
language can describe him. and he
begs Republicans to throw off the
yoke and array themselves once more
beside the proud old banner under
which freedom was first delivered to
the nation" The appeal may be very
touching, but Malone controls the
offices, and they are more potent than
Dezendorf's fiorid appeals.

REGARDING the Indiana campaign,
Dorsey says: Each one of these
men, nearly 5000 in number, reported
what they could do, and how much it
would take to influence people to a
change of thought. We paid 500 to
some and as high as $50 to others, but
from every township should know
just what each got. There was no
chance for 'nigging.' There, that's
all there was in carrying Indiana in
October" Dorsey knows all about it;
and he had the advice and the conf
dence, and the friendship of Mr.. Gar
field and of the balance of the fraudu-
lent gang.

Profitahlaness of Farming.

LPittsburg Statesman
There are different ways OF looking
at the profitableneSS of farming, and
the prospect is gloomy and rosy accor-
ding to the standpoint from which it
is viewed. If you want about the
most lugubrious opinion of this bust
ness that can be expressed, come this
way and we will show you where to
find it. We will go to some place
where the fences are lying in tumble
downruin, the gates hanging by one
hinge, the barn lop-sided, leaning
pile; the barnyard a reeking swamp;
the house a leaking, dismal wreck;
it's windows stuffed with old coats
and hats-everything devoid of paint
or finish, and nothing in its proper
place or in a decent condition. If you
can fight your way through the ours
around the door to the proprietor,
ask him, while he eyes you with
strong suspicion, whether farming
paws. If he is not afraid that his an
SWer will give you some opportunity
of cheating him, he will tell you that
farming is the worst business in the
world. Then, when you have warily
backed out from among his dogs,
we IL llldh0 duOGllcI Nlo1O. LOU
us try farm where fences,
build ngs and improvements
are all substantial, neat and
first-class; where paint, window
glasses, ETC., are abundant; where
everything gives evidence of thrift
and industry. AS the proprietor
turns from some employment to greet
you frankly ana heartily, ask him
whether farming pays. His answer
is in his surroundings. Such contrasts
are by no means fanciful, and we
have seen them quite sharply defined
on farms in the same neighbOrhoOd
possessing natural equal advantages.
1t is pleasure to know that squalor
is being rapidly and steadily driven
from progressive modern agriculture,
and that pictures of the kind first
viewed are becoming more rare from
year to year. The farm is. as rule,
an index to the character of the
farmer as well as an exponent of his
industry and his methods. Other
things being equal, much of the sue
cess or failure of agriculture lies in
the directing mind. If this be vigor-
Gus, thoughtful, studious, earnest, re-
suits may be depedded on to take care
of themselves. The bulk of the Amer
lean people are living by farming, and
the growth of the country's wealth is
sufficient proof that it pays.

THE RECEIPTS of internal revenue
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1888. amounted to $l44, 500, 1886, or only
s., 1863 ,9O7 less than the total revenue
for the fiscal year 1S81-82. By the
last revenue law about S42, 100000 OF
internal taxes is repealed. This
would leave revenue of about $780,
100000 from the internal revenue
system. But it is pretty certain that
the revenue from tobacco will in
crease considerably. There will be a
steady increase, too, in the revenue
from whisky. So it will not be at all
surprising if in two or three years
the internal revenue should reach its
old figures in spite of the reductions
of taxes. As there is no probability
that the internal revenue system will
be repealed in the near future, if at
all, the excessive duties on imports
ought to cease.

Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, president OF
the board of trade of Great Britain,
is inclined to favor a law placing the
sanitary arrangements of ocean pas
senger steamers under the control of
the ships surgeon, untrammeled by
the captain. At present no surgeon
ventures to make recommendations
opposed to the captains ideas, be-
cause he would soon be made uncom-
Portable or even be dismissed. 1t is
believed that by placing on board a
government health officer, answerable
only to his official superiors, the con
dition of emigrants on shipboard
would be greatly improved.
