From the Hartford Times.
The biographies of queens and their
families prove how great is the cause
for gratitude for the privilege of not
belonging to any of them. The dreary
fate might have happened by mere
accident of birth. 1t is narrow and for
tunate escape. To be a queen, prince or
princess, is drudgery and thraldom.
The letters of the Princess Alice, like
all literary emanations from persons of
royal birth, confirm this fact. The
tedious details of her cramped and
monotonous court life, i've strong ev-
idence OF its emptiness at. through

this they did not do, but retreated te

GREAT commercial depression ex-

unpleasing condition of affairs.

THE subject matter of tue confer

leaders of the Irish national league, at
Boston, narrated in the dispatches, is
of profound political interest. The
proposition coming from Mr.. Parnell
to throw the whole organized Irish
American vote with that party in the
present great contest. which will
pledge daily to admit Irish manufac-
tured goods free of duty, will strike
every reader as manifestation of
the profound ssgacity and statesman
ship of the great Irish leader. The
vast Importance of the scheme will
sufficiently appear when the extent of
the Irish-American vote and inf1u.
ence are considered.

Mr.. B, whilst walking down
that curiously paved sidewalk in
Nuuanu street, which lies in China
town, met with an accident, which
though novel was not entertaining.
He was clawing along the edge of
the ruinous sidewalk to avoid jost-
ling the on-coming pedestrians,
when he felt himself caught gently
but firmly by the ear. CHANGING up
wards he perceived that he was held
by nail which had been tapping in
the awning, he noticed also that the
nail was already considerable dis
lance through the cartilage, he dis
engaged it, making such remarks as
seemed suitable to the occasion, and
then made for HOLSTER where he
revived himself with soda. Joking
apart this might have been very
serious accident and the careless
habits of our Chinese residents can
not be too severely reprehended or
closely watched.
