The next toast was "The Press" to which
Senator Hawley wittily and eloquently re-
sponded. He briefly sketched the great part
taken by the press in the work of human ad-
vancement especially in this country in form
ing the minds of the people and raising the
standard of individual intelligence and
morality. To the press remotely was due a
part Of the glory of Shorman's victories, for
the men he led to triumph were men of intel
ligence, men of principle who owed not
little of that moral and mental standing to

MIR. JUSTICE MATTHEW'S.

At the conclusion of Gen. Sheridan's re-
marks Col. Corkhill proposed "The Ju-
dietary" and called upon Mr.. Justice Mat
thews to respond. .l... ...r
Justice Matthews, while not having any
speech prepared, said he should be able to
express at least portion of the emotion and
sentiments that he experienced at being
present, As reference had been made to the
position he occupied he would say that he re-
garded it as the highest achievement of his
life. 1t was the satisfaction of his
highest personal ambition. He had
now nothing left in the good will
of the world except to discharge his duties
with satisfaction to the conscience of that
world and himself. lie went on to say that
as much as he priced his present position, he
was prouder of having been soldier in the
army of the United States. He told how he
had gone into the army, and took occasion to
pay high compliment to Gen. Sherman.

Loud applause greeted the rising of Little
Phil" whose growing rotundity indicates
that the wear and tear of life at present is not
so severe as when he made his famous ride to
Winchester, twenty years ago.
Gen. Sheridan spoke as follows:

more considerate than my friend Col. Corkhill

Alas for the heart that was glad and light!
Alas for the soul that was pure and whitei
Censure who may-condemn who must;
It WAS perfect faith = 1t was utter trust
That asked her promise; nor pledge nor sign
He was hers-she was his by law divine.
He was lifted up; he was set apart;
He hlled her thought; he filled her heart;
She called him great; she believed him true,
As women will, as women dol
Oh, to betray such tender trusti
(God will repay. and he is just)-
Through wrong and i'll she loves him still
As women do, as women will.

The Russian Czarina.


The visit of the Gear and Czarina
to Copenhagen brings about an inter-
esting family reunion, the Czarina
being a daughter of the King Of
Denmark, and a great favorite with
the Danish people. She grew up
with her sister Alexandra, now the
Princess of Wales. at the Danish
court, with very modest sourround
ings. The queen was an excellent
mother, and sought to develop lin her
daughters the woman in preference to
the princess. 1t used to be said at
the capital that the princesses were
made to help in making their own
dresses, and that the furniture in their
common bedroom was covered with
inexpensive calico. A story of the
naive admiration expressed by Prin-
cess Dagmar, as she used to be called,
on being shown the wedding trousseau
of one of the noble ladies of the conrt,
and her longing wonder whether she
would herself own "such things" was
told with a touch OF sympathetic
pride by the people of Copenhagen,
with whom the two princesses were
great favorites.
She was originally betrothed to the
late czarewitch Nicholas, at whose
bedside she stood when he breathed
his last. When he died there seemed
no prospect of the daug hter of King
Christian ever recovering the chance
which had slipped from her of one
day wearing the crown matrimonial
of Russia. However, Prince Gort-
sehakoff and her father managed 10
hand her to the Czarewitch Alexander,
to whom she was married in her 10th
year.
Her marriage did not give promise
of domestic felicity. The czarewitch
had formed an attachment for a maid
of honor of the empress nee Metcher-
ski, and daughter of noble poet.
The princess was blgly gifted with
beauty, intellect and delicate sensi-
bilities. He proposed to marry tine
beauty, and told his parents he would
never accept any one else for wife.
They sent him from St. Petersburg
with his regiment. When he was
absent she was obliged to accept an
offer which Prince Paul Demidoff
bad been instructed to make her.
He reluctantly obeyed. She, beleiv-
ing the czarewitch had forsaken her,
went with a breaking heart to the
altar, and directly after the ceremony
was over she was taken abroad. With
in year she died at Vienna, leaving
an infant son behind her.
When Princess Paul Demidoff was
no more, Alexander yielded to la
raison d'etat, and became reconciled
to the Princess Dagmar. He soon
forgot his great disappointment. at
his wites entreaty he consented TO
to study, and took lessons always
with her from professors of history,
mathematics and political economy.
He and she became inseparable COM
panions, and, indeed, comrades. She
went with him in his hunting excur-
sions. When the state of her health
admitted she rode out with him,
mounted on a fleet and powerful
horse. He, on his side, always ac-
companies her on her annual visits
TO Denmark, where they cast state
aside, and live natural bourgeois
life.
