Movements of Queen Victoria.

New YORK, July 4th-A Sun cablegram
from London of the 9Th says 1t is said
that the Queen will confer the Grand Cross
of the Order of the Bath upon General Sir
Peter Lumsden, and that this act of favor
is upon her own initiative. 1t will inevita-
bly, be interpreted as q studied insult to
Mr. Gladstone. Queen Victoria came 10
London on Friday afternoon 10 visit the
Duchess of Cambridge, whose age and in
firmities make it impossible for her to wait
upon the Queen at Windsor. The Home
Office adopted the usual precaution of Or
dering all the police reserves on duty, and
az there was a State concert at Buckingham
Palace at night, some Of the reserves had
to remain on duty all night and then go on
post in the morning for another twenty
four hours. For some of them it makes q
continuous round of seventy-two hours Of
duty There is much growing among the
Boobies" who hope that the next time
the Queen designs to come to town it viii
not be on q concert night.

Conservative Gains Cause Alarm to the
Liberals in England.

LONDON, July 4th.-The results Of the
Parliamentary elections which took place
during the past week, TO fill vacancies
caused by the change in the Ministry, have
rather alarmed the Liberals They were be-
ginning to feel sure Of an easy victory in
the coming general election, but the Tories
have more than held their own in the spe
cial pollings, and have increased their ma
jorities i'll such hotly-contested boroughs as
Wakefield and Woodstock. The Liberal
election agents in many provinces sent in
discouraging reports about the outlook.
They say the agricultural voter is falling
away from the Liberal interest, and that
the laborers appear indifferent about taking
advantage Of the enlarged franchise. These
agents further declare that in most OF the
rural regions Of England both agricultural
laborers and workingmen this year are
especially under the influence or con-
troll Of local squiles, parsons farmers and
authorities. This is accounted for by the
fact that the times have, for n long period
past, been unusually hard, and that these
classes of voters are under more than ordi
nary obligations TO their employers and
patrons.
The squires, parsons, farmers and local
officials are nearly all Conservatives, and
with bright party prospects before them are
exerting all their influence to retain control
of political affairs. The Tory managers
are locating polling places in remote dis
tricts controlled by the Liberals in such a
way as to make it difficult for the voters to
reach the polls. They have also issued cir
culars among farm laborers, declaring that
the character of their ballots will inevitably
be known by their employers. The Irish
leaders have arranged TO throw the Irish
vote throughout England in such way as
to help the Tory candidates in all close
districts. The Liberal managers, therefore,
throughout the country are frightened.

Fine Prospect for a Big Yield of Peaches.
WASHINGTON, July 4th.-The Agricult-
ural Department has issued the following
in relation to the coming crop of peaches ::
The past winter has fully demonstrated the
unfitness of the more northern ATTITUDES
for peach-growing. From the Upper Ohio
valley and the Lake States there comes but
one report 1t tells of trees all dead, whole
orchards, even in the most sheltered situa-
tons, having succumbed TO the late frosts.
In New England there WAS much winter
killing, and the few surviving trees that
bloomed were stripped of their blossoms
by the late frosts of spring. New York and
Pennsylvania showed like experience In
MARYLAND, Delaware and New Jersey the
peaches of commerce are grown. The
bloom was good, and the indications point
to crop slightly above the average. There
was no injury from frost, and as yet none
from insects or disease. The cold, back
ward spring, with late frosts, has injured
the otherwise favorable prospects in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. Georgia and all
the Gulf States report the condition unusu-
ally high. In the former State many cor
respondents claim that the outlook IS for

CHURCH AT MT. PLEASANT.
History of It's Origin and Construction

tion 1t becomes a thing OF beauty and Of inter-
est, not only to the residents of the village but
to all who have at heart the growth of Chris
tianity in the District of Columbia The build.
ing OF a church in the vicinity has long been a
cherished purpose in the parish, especially of
the Rev. DIR. Buck, rector of Rock Creek church:
but the matter did not assume practical shane
until the purchasers of the Stone estate initia-
ted the movement by donating a lot on which
to erect a church, and selling at half-price an
adjoining lot on which in future to build par
sonage. Not .only did they do this but they
raised money by subscription sufficient to build
the body of the church and finish it inside nearly
ready for occupancy, with q comparatively small
debt, which 1t was found necessary to incur
In order to put the building in a condition to

a large extent by the efforts of Mr. John Sher-
man: The venerable Mrs. Stone, who owned
the large estate on which the church now stands

present village derived Its name, though not
heretofore located upon it, has taken a lively
interest in the work and has contributed libe-

CITY AND DISTRICT.
WHAT WE DRINK IN POTOMAC
WATER.
Responsibility of the Commissioners
for Results.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The extraordinary neglect of duty by the
Commissioners OF this District, with regard to
the pollution of our water supply, has Justly
excited great indignation among the citizens
of Washington. Neither the Emperors of Rus
STA or of Germany could have displayed more
sublime contempt for their subjects than has
been displayed by them to us in this matter
even after it has been repeatedly brought to
their attention by the public press.
In order TO know for myself the condition of
affairs i have made some microscopical ex-
amiDations OF the Potomac water. and the fol-
lowing are the results: On Wednesday. May %,
1885 for eight hours a small stream OF water
through filter composed of double fold of
linen. At the end of that time the linen was
removed and was found to be deeply stained
a dirty yellOwish brown color by closely adj
herring sediment. The sediment was removed
and a portion placed under the microscope.
When one considered that this was the
material so largely taken into our stomachs
daily, the sight was much more scientifically
Interesting than agreeable to think of. send
q drawing of some of the organisms found,
which gives n fair idea of their form, but does
not give any idea OF the vast multitude of these
organic forms existing in our Potomac water.
No 1 existed quite abundantly, and was ap-
parently composed of a mass of Oya or eggs,
Enclosed in a gelatinous material.
No. are probably portions of Daphnae, or
water feas; minute crustaceous animal, which
feeds on the putrid materials contained in the
water.
No. was a specimen of Vorticella curious
species of infusora that is set upon a stalk
which 1t can contract and expand in a cork
screw-like shape.
No is rotifer or wheel animalcule.
No. B is a diatOm, and is probably harmless
No. g is a microscopic plant.
No. is a fiber of cotton.
No. 8 Is a diatOm.
Nos. 9-1O are vegetable debris
1t will be seen from the above account that
the bill of fare provided by the kindness of our
Commissioners in our drinking water has cer-
tainly one merit, viz: that of variety.
/ should have mentioned that an erroneous
idea is very prevalent namely, that all waters
used for food contain a large amount of living
organisms Such is not the case. Pure spring
water contains scarcely any no organic
forms, and whilst We cannot expect this ideal
perfection in the water supply of large city,
yet we have right to expect very much
better quality of water than is now supplied
to the citizens of this District.
The reservoirs evidently need thorough
cleansing, and the leakage of canal water
into the Potomac should at once be stopped.
The Potomac water is really now in a filthy
condition and If an epidemic of ty phOid fever
lsuch as is now raging in Plymouth) should
break out in the District, our Commissioners
will be morally and in equity responsible for
the loss Of life that may ensue.

GOriOn's View of the Edenic Apple.

From the London Truth.
Here is a droll story about Gen. Gordon that
has not yet found its way into print. The
general entertained peculiar ideas concerning
the Edenic apple by which Mother Eve intro
duced "death and all our woe" into the world.
The constituent elements Of this fruit Gordon
held to be present in the blood of every member
OF the human race up to the present day. and
he commended that their virus could only be
subdued and counteracted by frequent par
ticipatiOn i'll the bread and wine of the sacra-
ment. But SO material a view did he take of
this rite that he thought the more a mar could
INCEST, In quantity, of the consecrated food, the
better would be his chances of expurgating
from his physical organism the poisonous cor
puscles OF the forbidden apple. Having FORE
seen that there would be little or no opportuni-
tics Of receiving the sacrament in the soudan,
Gordon resolved to take as much as possible OF
the sacred elements before starting. He there
fore occupied himself the Saturday before
his last Sunday in England in ascertaining
the hours at which communion would be adj
ministered In the various churches within
reach OF the place where he then was, and, ris.
Ing early on the Sunday morning, he went from
church to church in turn. partaking of the sac
rament in each, and thus received the elements
some half dozen times in succession, beginning
at o O'Clock a. In. and ending at midday.
