Alarmed About the queens Health.

Cable dispatches say that public feeling IN
England is again excited by alarming re-
ports as to the Queens health. 1t is now
known that the Queens journey to Balmo-
raj has been hastened IN order to try
whether the bracing air of the north will
in some measure restore the vitality lost
during her recent illness consequent upon
injuring her knee. The swelling in her
limb has disappeared and little stiff
ness remains, but she is in a low, nervous
condition and utterly unable to make
any exertion. She is depressed in spirits
and easily alarmed. Fearing an attack of
sickness at any moment, the most extraor-
dinary precautions have been ordered all
along the route for securing privacy and
quiet. Every railway station is to be care
fully guarded, the public refused admit
tance and none but officials actually in the
Queens service are to be allowed to ap-
proach the royal carriage. Her Majcsty's
physicians advised a trip on the Continent
but the Queen insisted on going to Balmo-

Attempted Suicide.

ID. b. Reagan, of Springfield, Green
County, Mo-, yesterday evening called at
the Templars' Home, kept by Mr.. Wheelock,
206 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and
asked for room for the night. He paid
for the room and retired. This morning
about II o'clock shots were heard in the
room occupied by Mr.. Reagan, when sew
eral parties ran up and found that he had
attempted to end his mortal existence by
the aid of five-cylinder Smith & Wesson
pistol. He had made three attempts,
with very unsatisfactory results, the
only real damage being wound
on the right side of his head
some four or five inches long, not
cracking the skull however. He was put
in the police ambulance and taken to
Providence Hospital. He had on his per-
son something like $50 also, two letters
detailing the cause and reason for desiring
to visit that beautiful land over the river

One or two papers in Ohio persist in

standing his positive refusal to be consid

to carry Ohio, but to bring Mr.. Sherman
prominently to the front as q Presidential

times have changed since then, and the
fact that any man is elected Governor this

White House much. The process by which
Governors were turned into Presidents has
become too old fashioned for use in 1891.

the reporter.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON STEPHENS.

The death OF Mr.. Stephens will recall not
merely the more recent events OF the Rebel
lion and that short-lived COnfederacyn of
which he was the second executive officer.
Long before those dark days he had "a a
public man acquired national reputation, and
had been recognized as n leading spirit of the
great Wing party. In his support of Mr.. Clay
there WAS something chivalrous, which had
endeared Mr.. Stephens to the many friends,
both at the South and the North, of that great
man. In the National House of Representa-
tiyes Mr.. Stephens was the brilliant and
effective champion Of the Opposition TO the
Administration OF Mr.. Polk and to the Mexican
measures of that President. He came at last
to be regarded as one OF the most moderate
Of the members from the slave States. Up to
a certain point he had been an unswerving
friend of the Union. AS the hour of dismem-
berment approached, he seems honestly to
have used all his power, authority, elo-
quence, against the increasing madness
but when the time came for standing
almost alone or for yielding to the current
of Southern opinion, he made the great mistake
of his life, and surrendered to the turbulent
influences by which he was surrounded. He
WIS not man to do things by halves, and
accepting Office under the Confederate Govern
ment, he did his best to maintain its desperate
fortunes. Unquestionably no accomplished
great deal of mischief by misleading those
who were still waveringj and he has the
credit, whether it belongs to him or not, OF
turning the scale against loyalty by speech
which he made before the Virginia Legislature.
Yet even then he was longing for q return to
the Union. Whenever negotiations were set
afoot for Cancellation, or at least for peace.
Mr.. Stephens was full Of activity, however
small his influence.
After all was over and the cause Of secession
hopelessly lost. Mr.. Stephens accepted the re-
