Mr.. BoEHM, r. A., was summoned
recently by Queen Victoria to Wind
sor to take medallion portrait of Her
Majesty for the new gold, silver and
bronze coinage to be issued during the
jubilee year, 1887. Mr.. Boehm has
executed many ehigies of her majesty
aud other members CT the royal family.
The Queen gave the artist several sit
tings, which is an innovation in the
matter of designing head from which
to make a matrix for coinage. The
features of Her Majesty are to be re-
produced With microscopic fidelity.
The image of Her Majesty impressed
on the coin of the realm hitherto has
been the one taken in 1887, the year of
her accession to the throne. The Queen
has also ordered Mr.. Boehm to finish a
small bust of herself in marble as
present to the Able Liszt.

Alexander of Bulgaria Deposed.

Prince Alexander 1. of Bulgaria ab-
dicated on the 2lst, and was escorted over
the frontier. The Cologne Gazette and
the Berlin Post express the belief that the
say that Prince Alexander's personal
qualities deserved better fate, but Eng-
land having refused him active support
against Russia and Turkey being afraid to
risk war in behalf of Bulgaria, and the
Gastein meeting showing that the alliance
was unbroken, his position was hopeless
one. Bulgaria was created principality
by the Berlin treaty of 1878, but its people
have long been discontented, and its
situation has been a perplexing one. It is
stated at Berlin that the Prince was de-
posed and made prisoner during an in
spection of trees at Widden.
