A bitter harvest reaps.
The law Of gradual growing
Is a law that never sleeps, ?

The Shenandoah Valley in 1864. TIE
Campaign Of Sheridan. By George L. Pond.
New York: Charles Scribners Sons. This
is the eleventh Of the Series Of which the
public has kept well advised, and which will
be completed by Gen. Humphreys Grant in
Virginia, now in press.
Mr.. Pond has done faithful work, compil-
ing the records into tables showing the ex-
act forces of both sides all through the cam
paign, and has also made an index of great
value. Nobody but trained journalist
wonld be likely to know the value Of these
appendices and tables and notes.
This most exciting and memorable of all
the phases of the great conflict is illuminat
ed by flood of light in which every move il
made of conspicuous interest. There is no
romancing about 1t, and yet it reads like it,
for stout General Knight appearing from
the South to rally the despairihg citizen
troops In the fields about Washing
ton is scarcely less han hero
of old, while every government clerk
which the destiny Of the Capital might
turn. It is a special contribution to history
that were impossible TO appear in general
record Of the whole war, and is important
enough to be served alone--which cannot be
said of all the small books written about the
war Of late. OF course Sheridans part in
the drama is chefest, and yet any reader
will find new matter in relation TO a score of
leaders and events that not only has not
been duly set forth before, int left IN
untouched The whole series now about TO
| close is charming and valuable.

THERE seems to be growing Incredibly
as to that remarkably story with which Lady
Florence Dixie lately astonished the public
1t is not charged that she evolved the thrill
ling tale from her inner consciousness, but
it is strongly suspected that to some extent
she drew upon her imagination for her
facts. People are saying that it is very
strange that two rufians armed with daggers
should have inflicted no more serious injury
upon her ladyship's person, very strange
that nothing should have been seen of them
either before or after the attack, that they
should have assumed disguise so embar-
RAISING and ineffective as the femin inc cos
tune, and that the dog by which they are
said to have been repulsed should have es-
capped without scratch. Evidently an in
vestigation is in order.

THERE are signs that the Chinese exelu-

cheaply than any other people will, and we
are anxious-or ought to be-to sell great

in exchange for the tea every year. If we

THE announcement that the French gov
eminent has arranged to borrow twenty
four million dollars from the Bank Of France
will direct attention to the somewhat I'M

lie has lately pursued. It's expenditures
have shown a constant disposition to in
crease and outrun the revenue. With a
country SO heavily in debt as France there is
danger in that.

The writer, Mary Glare Spenser, is not strong
in her plan of the book, and her vocabulary
calls into use much language that is decid-

while it will not seem to any of them very
great, it will be found very well worth read

VERY elaborate preparations are making
for the coronation of the Gar A correspon-
dent writes that many hundred horses are
being transferred from the imperial stables
at st. Petersburg to Moscow to be used in
the grand pageant. Forty state carriages
are to be in line on that occasion. Some of
these are historic vehicles, and many of
them are ancient Among them is the mag
nifcent gilded carriage which was presented
to the Empress Elizabeth of Russia by Fred
erick the Great in 1746. Among the horses
appointed 70 draw these carriages are fifty
nine imported from Hanover expressly for
this purpose. Moscow is already preparing
to entertain royalty the numerous guests.
None of the persons invited by the monarch
are to be lodged in hotels; the houses Of the
notables, the nobility and the dgnitarles of
the church are open to them. The enter
tainment win be no cheap affair Fifteen
thousand roubIes are to be expended on ball
room decorations, and altogether one fete to
be had at the charge of the nobility of the
ancient capital is likely to cost not less than
than 100000 roubles, or $4,000,

Royal Routine.

There must be a good deal of same
ness in the daily routine of existence
after all. / was struck with this in
the park yesterday while observing the
Princess of Wales as she was driving
along the sweep which extends from
the Marble Arch to the OXford-street
entrance to the park to the GORGEOUS
statue of the Prince Consort on the
Kensington side In response to the
bows and salutations of the assemblage
she. bows her head, first to the right
and then to the left continuously
There is almost no cessation in the
exercise. 1t is part of her duty in
life. And the bow is a study-a won.
derful medium between Iistlessness
and cordiality. The features remain
quite smileless there is no suspicion
of the smirk of the popular favorite Of
the footlights for instance. But the
eyes are full of interest as they light
on every passing face, and it is i'm
possible to entertain a doubt that one
has been bowed to, distinctly and di-
rectly, by the princess. That il what
so enchants people-not only people in
a certain position in life, but the poor
people, the hard toilers of the busy
town, who stop on their way to have
q look at the dear princess. There
seems almost as keen look of interest
in them upon her face as she sees in
theirs concerning her. No one can SEQ
her without feeling an admiration fol
her. But one who looks beneath the
surface of things must know, although
so well dissembled, that this is only
acting out the royal part 1t cannot
be that Alexandra really feels the in
terest ber features indicate in every
passing stranger who bows to her in
the park. And it must be a consider
able deprivation to her in the way of
talking to those who accompany her
this constant bowling. Yesterday her
eldest daughter was with her, and also
one of those cousinly grand German
hesses-semi-royal-oyer on visit.
The ladies were reduced to helpless
silence, for so continuous was Alex
andra's bowling she could not find time
to talk to them, and no doubt it is con-
trary to etiquette for lesser lights to
converse with each other when the
great one can take no part. How
simple and elegant Alexandra's toilets
always are! Always so neat, compact
and trim! During the hot weather
she has been wearing simple washing
prints to the park. Yesterday the sky
was slightly overcast and she was ap-
propriately dressed in black silk with
small brOcaded flowers in natural
colors. She wore a tiny white lace
bonnet, with black spotted net veil.
Her appearance Of girlishness is one of
the most marvellous charms of this
stainless princess,
