soyrnrIass Of the Honse of Hanover

sovEREIGss OF the House Of Hanover
have rarely been distinguished by their
good sense, and Queen Victoria appears
TO be no exception TO the uniform rule.
Her last book, judging from those por.
tions Of II which have been telegraphed
to the United States. is an extraordinary
farrago which ought not to have been
permitted to reach the public. The
maunderings Of respectable old lady,
who appears to have pronounced case
Of softening Of the brain, ought to have
disappeared through the agency of some
firm and friendly hand and, II ncees-
sary, repeated mock eonspiracies should
have been devised to make the disap.
pearance continuous. Possessed by
supreme egotism, this venerable old wo.
man seems to imagine that the most
minute details Of an exceptionally nne.
ventful aud often vulgar life are OF over
sha1owing interest to mankind. The
public fuss which she has all along made
over John Brown, a rough-mannered
Scotch gllie, is one Of tho comedies Of
the day, and it is passing strange that
the Queen was not prevented, in some
way, from making herself thus ridicu-
lous. Rejecting the gross innuendoes AS
to their personal relationship, which
are very common in certain circles
in England, ms absolutely i'm
probable, it is yet very curious
that, with great numbers Of illustrious
and memorable men and women dying
in England, so large a portion Of the
Queens book and daily conversation
should have been devoted to Highland
peasant who seems to have been regard.
ed by everyone, except herself, as a
surly and illconditioned person. The
Prince Of Wales and the rest Of the
royal family are said 10 be very much
mortified by the literary efforts Of the
head of the house. Most well disposed
people will feel like synpathizing with
the Guelphs in this disgusting develop
ment, which would disgrace apIebeian,
to say nothing OF royal household.
When one has regard to the pictures,
painted by Thackeray. Of the Hanoverian
sovereigns, and in which the third George
was depicted as noting that large rivers
always passed by large towns, and as
expressing great degree Of curiosity as
to how the apples got into the dump
lings, there may be great doubts as to
whether Victoria, in her extravagant
admiration Of John Brown, is compos
mentis. II she is sane, considering her
miserly temperament, which leads her
to absorb the whole civil list Of the
British Empire, without return which
could possibly be enumerated in dollars,
pounds, shillings or pence, the English
people are to be heartily commiserated.
From the pecuniary standpoint, never.
theless, there is method in her madness.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-02-15

From all quarters Of the American
continent people are daily pouring into
Los Angeles. Excursion parties are be-
coming so numerous that it is hard to
keep the run of them. Nevertheless,
the refrain is, like that cry which ear
ried consternation,i in the castle of Dunsi-
name, to the soul of the murderer OF King
Duncan, "still they come" And they
will keep on coming. They are in search
Of region in which it is not necessary
to be congealed or hybernated, as it
were, for seven months in the year, in
order to live for the remaining five
months. These thronging multitudes
are in search Of benign climate which
is associated with possibilities of devel-
opment, and they find that they exist
hereabouts to degree not known
elsewhere on the face of the
globe. Nice, Mentone and the
African coast of the Mediterra-
mean have climate, but at its best
it is only ''deuee aces" as compared with
that of Los Angeles. Here, in addition
to energetic people, there is the poten-
tiality of unknown wealth, together with
the certainty that, in a larger measure
than is elsewhere known on earth, the
adventurous seeker after riches is guar
anteed clear and blue skies and sort Of
millennium of meteorological delights.

A VERY suspicious circumstance about

Mrs Cotton on the stand.

SANTA Rosa, Cal, Feb. l4.-hlrs. FL
len NJ. Cotton took the stand this morn
ing TO testify in che Cotton case. She
stated first that the business
of importance Mr.. Cotton attended
to was to go to Washington with the OBJ
ject OF defeating Tom Scott's Texas and
Pacific railroad bill. She next testified
in relation to the statements made to
her by Mr.. Wilson, after his conference
with defendants. Wilson told her that
the defendants claimed that Cotton had
drawn $4,000 without warrant, and
embezzled Sl5O,000. Wilson said he be.
lieved the charge groundless. Mrs. Col
ton entertained the same belief, but
feeling her power lessening, she signed
the contract by which ali the stock held
by her was transferred to the defendants
for u sum much less than its real value.
1t was not till some months later that
Mrs. Cotton realized that she had been
wronged. She argued then that if de-
PENDANTS had robbed her, they might
have belied the memory OF her husband
and SO moved for a new accounting.

The German Government has refused to
accept coincidence from the United States
on the decease of Herr Lasker. After
all, this act is consistent with the behay-
Tor of the German Government since the
death of the eminent German. The Lib
eral party in Berlin was naturally indig-
nant at the absence Of the Ministry or of
any official representative Of the Govern.
ment from the funeral ceremonies of Herr
Lasker. Says the New York World
The able and honest statesman was
feared while living, but now that his
voice can no longer be raised in defense
of the people and in denunciation of in
justice and corruption, the men who
dreaded his abilities and his virtues in
life are glad of the opportunity to slight
him in death.
The Government organs defend the
absence Of the Ministers and bitterly
assail the memory of the dead statesman.
Although this may be natural, it is not
the less contemplate. The donkey may
refuse to attend the lions funeral as a
matter of personal inclination. But when
he undertakes to bray contemptuously
over the remains he shows himself to
be indeed a contemplate, coarse-bred
animal
