PORTRAITS OF VICTORIA.
England's Queen Was Apparently Very
Prstty in Her Girlhood.

In the room known as the Waterloo
Chamber, says a letter from London to the
Philadelphia Telegraph, hangs the full
length portrait of George ". in his coro-
nation robes, by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
His Majesty certainly made bad king,
bad husband and a bad father, but he
makes an admirable picture. He knew
how to "pose" to perfection, how to show
up the symmetry of his very handsome
legs in their snowy silken hose, and how
to turn his head so as to present the best
points in his profile to the spectators. l
imagine that the vocation of an artists
model was what he was best fitted for by
nature.
In another room there is full-length
portrait of Queen Victoria in her royal
robes, painted soon after her accession to
the throne, and showing that the grim old
dowager of the present day was very
charming girl fifty years ago. The pecu-
liar sweetness of the large blue eyes, and
the pretty, rosy mouth, the bloom and
freshness of the fair young face, and, above
all, the perfect molding of the arms and
shoulders, and the graceful neck make a
most winning image Of royal girlhood.
Had | been Queen Victoria, think l
would have initiated the example of one
of the most beautiful of my female con-
temporaries, the Empress Elizabeth, of
Austria-would have remained content
with this portrait as my official likeness,
and never would have sat to any painter
again.
But in the Waterloo chamber there is
portrait oe the Queen painted five years
ago, which will show to posterity what
staid and severe-looking old lady she was,
in contrast to the grace and sweetness of
her, youthful likeness. There is, how
ever, one quality about the Queen which
is never lacking, and that is her regal
bearing. She looks "every inch the
Queen in her heavy, somber robes that
she wears to-day, as she doubtless did in
the crimson velvet and ermine, the white
satin and jewels of her coronation dress.

STANLEY's REAR GUARD.
Lieutenant Troup's Testimony as to Bart

Boston, October 31st.-In letters to Henry
NJ. Stanley, in relation 70 the rear guard of

he did, that he could not march with the
men without sacrificing too many loads,
and having made up his mind to await
your return in November, he ought
to have arranged to get food for
his men and done all in his
power to have what you and we all so
much desired-a prosperous community.
What do you think of US in the Yambuya,

plenty of food could have been purchased,
vet never an effort was made by Major
Barttelot TO help our poor. starving men.
1t is absurd to say Tippoo ii refused to sup
ply US with food. He was never asked"
This letter was written while the latter
was preparing his book. Stanley took
Troup to task for not doing something to
relieve the command. Troup replied that
Barttelot was at the head of the command
and to have done anything would have
been mutiny. Stanley replied that his
written orders were that Barttelot should
consult Troup in all vital matters. Troup
says he didn so understand them.

CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS.
Raisins are More Freely offered in the
New York Market

New YORK, October 31st.- California
loose muscatel raisins have been rather
more freely offered in this market the past
few days, and prices averaged somewhat
lower in number of instances Brands
that enjoy particular favor appear very
little affected if at all, as the arrivals of
that class of fruit are nearly all absorbed
through deliveries now making on back
orders, but the average quality can un.
doubtedly be secured at concession on
prices generally asked one week ago. The
quantity of fruit offering is not very large,
nor are there any indications of general
pressure to sell. London layers of really
attractive quality are in moderate supply
as yet and bring relatively better prices
than loose muscatels.

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Supreme Justice Caldwell Says the Act
of Congress is Valid.

LITTLE Rock (Ark.) October 31st-The
opinion of Judge Caldwell, of the United
States Circuits Court, in the original pack
age case of II. N. Van Vliet, of Iowa, was
filed to-day.
1t is very lengthy and discusses all the
questions raised. The Court holds that the
Act OF Congress and the laws of the State
are valid.
The following is the salient points of the
opinion: By the terms Of the Act, an
original package, when il arrives within the
State where transit terminates, is at once
reduced to the rank of domestic liquors,
and is subject to the operation and effect Of
the laws of such State in the same manner
as domestic liquor. Now, there never was
any question that the laws of Iowa pro-
hibited the sale of liquor produced in the
State, and that the law for this purpose
was constitutional. These laws were in
full force at the date of the Act of Congress,
and that Act having in legal effect abol-
ished original packages on their arrival"
within the State by placing them on the
same footing with liquor produced within
the State, they are as much amenable to
the State law as if they had never existed
in the form of original packages.

They sleep.
WEsTP5RT, October 31st.-Jesse Vann,
who left here this morning for Eel river
with band Of horses, suddenly returned
with the startling intelligence that his
brothers, Charles and Matthew, had been
shot and killed by their brother. in law,
Frank Mason, near the latter's house,
about two miles from this place.
The particulars, as near as could be
cleaned from Mrs. Mason, are as follows
Charles aid Matthew were staying with
the Masons for few days. At the supper
table LIST night Matthew passed the bread
to Mason, who, taking it and after tasting
it, put it away from him. refusing 10 eat
any more of it. Mason told his wife to put
the bread away, saying il was not fit to eat.
After the Vann boys went out OF the house
Mason told his wife that Matthew had put
som mething on the bread to poison him so
that they could get the money from the
Workmen, he (Mssonl being member of
that Order.
Nothing more was said about it that
night, and about o'clock this morning
Mason got up, dressed himself, took his
gun and started to go out, when his wife
asked him where he was going.
Mason said he was going out.
She said: What are you going to do?
think you are up to something"
He answered: Never mind l am all
right"
He then went out, closing the door after
him, and his wife thinking something was
wrong got up and went to the window, just
as two shots were fired short distance from
the house.
A moment after Mason came back to the
side of the house, but did not go in.
His wife heard him throw some cart
ridges into the magazine of his rifle and
saw him start for the woods.
She remained in the house until her
brother Jesse arrived. She told him what
had occurred, and told him that Charley
and Matthew were sleeping out doors about
sixty feet from the house. Jesse went there
and found his two brothers cold in death,
both having been shot through the head.
Justice Lampkin, of this place, held an
inquest, resulting as above. A posse of
eight or ten determined men are out scour-
ing the woods for the murderer, but up to
this hour nothing has been heard from
him.
Mason has always been very quiet, in.
offensive man, although possessed of a
very peculiar temperament. No cause can
be assigned for the terrible deed he has
committed, as he was on good terms with
his brothers-in-law. The murdered boys
were held in high esteem by every one,
and their sad taking off has cast a gloom
over the entire community.

may perhaps suggest that if the Demo
cratic position on this issue is correct
one, there should be an immediate and
ready acquiescence on the part of the peo-
pie. But the judgment of our countrymen
has been so trammelled, and their percep-

self-interest, that their apprehension of the
true province of our Government has been

posed New Rates.
CHICAGO, October S1st.-President Charles
Francis Adams of the Union Pacific Rail-
road, in speaking to-day of the proposed
revision of the rates, which has aroused the
antagonism Of some of the Eastern connec-
tions of the Union Pacific, said it was
matter simply between his road and the
Chicago and Northwestern. He has no
apprehension that the other line in the
long run will decline to participate in the
traffic on the same terms with the North
western. He was inclined to think the
talk was gotten up more fer Wall street
than elsewhere. The Union Pacific has
sustained great loss of traffic and income
of late, because of the fact that the Eastern
machine shops are so crowded they cannot
fill orders for new equipments.
Had the road been able to secure motive
power and equipment ordered six months
ago, he said, it would have earned in Octo-
Der upward of $4,000, 900, instead of S4,-
000,0 900. The traffic for it to handle, to-
day, he said, is 80 per cent. in excess of its
CAPACITY.
