captors. Pleased with her pluck, he
made her a member of his household.
In III she become his lawful wife
and in f72t the former peasant girl
was crowned Empress OF all the
Russias. Peter could not have
chosen a better partner. Catherine
proved at times his equal in coping
with the perils of the moment 1t was
she who arranged the treaty with the
Turks and saved Russia from utter
humiliation, and after Peters death
she assembled the throne and ruled
as became the widow OF a mighty me-
peror.
If a strict comparison of conditions
is to be made, 1t is probable that
Catharine might not find a place in
the accepted list of those who have
risen to queenly power. There were
no nice graduations in her upward
progress. She simply passed all in
%tervening obstacles at a bound. She
covered the distance between a
peasants hut and a palace in a single
wear. Perhaps ii was for that reason
she succeeded. Napoleon declared
that a private promoted to a marshall
ship did better work than a soldier
who had gone through all the inter
vening grades of military discipline
and become a martinez and theorist.
Catherine had no intermediate ex-
p~erience. She went from the lowest
TO the highest station with tornado
like rapidity.
The others--Natalie, Eugene, Jo-
sephine, Hortense, Caroline and Mrs.
Parr-were of good birth and lived
somewhat within the charmed circle
OF royal influence. When preferment
came they could not cope with their
surroundings, and at the last furnished
Chateaubriand with a text. That
philosophic observer of men and man
ners notes the fact that the privilege
OF tears belongs not alone to common
people, and that queens also have
been seen to weep. Two there are of
the present hour from whose eyes the
drops of sorrow and despair are sell
dom absent. One Is the exile of
Servia, the other the widowed and
childless exile of France.-Fred G..
Dayton an the Brooklyn Citizen.

The strike of the Newark carpen-
tiers has collapsed. 1t deserved to
collapse and there are no mourners.
1t was undertaken under false pre-
fences, and it has caused a most re-
grettable injury to the best cause that
organized labor has advocated in
years.
The eight-hour day is unquestiona-
bly, the working day of the future.
There is a suggestion of natural fitness
about it. It has much experience in
its favor. 1t promises great advantages
10 the workers, and in the long run,
as we believe. involves no loss to the
employers
But in the Newark strike the eight
hour day wasnot really made an issue.
It was only a pretence. The men
were after other and meaner advan-
vantages. and they tackled on the
eight hour day to their demands as
something to give uVin arranging a
compromise. Thus they attempted
TO rally to their aid a strong public
sentiment, a well settled conviction,
for the purpose Of betraying it. But
the people in general perceived the
trick, and the bosses seeing that the
current of public opinion set their
way, refused to be scared into any
concessions whatever. They waited
and went on with their work as best
they could. expecting that in due
time their employees would be starved
into reason. Their expectation was
justified, and now the trouble is at
an end.
We hope it will be a lesson to labor
unions to be very sure that they have

she was seriously injured, but she was
only bruised and scratched, and was able
to proceed with the cortege.

There is no Call for sympathy.

There Is no Call for sympathy.
This London baccarat scandal is a
beautiful example of the possibilities
OF high society iniquity. Suppose 1t
really were a case of cheating at cards
which of course IL isn't-it would be
bad enough. But the real state OF the
case is much worse. 1t has become
moderately clear that this attack on
Gordon Cumming is a deliberate at
tempt to ruin him utterly; that a
number of ladies of the upper ten are
at the back Of it; that the Prince oil
Wales understands the ase perfectly
well but will not move a finger to
bring truth out of a maze OF ~falsehood;
and that the proceedings of the High
Court will closely resemble a family
quarrel over a fence between W
shanties in Gammontown.
And If this were all. an honest man
might not be wholly disguised, for he
could sympathize with Gordon-Cum-
ming. But the worst OF it is that the
cause for this attack upon him is oil
such a nature as to leave deeency no
hope except that all the parties to the
quarrel will entirely destroy one an
other. Gordon Cumming had boosted
Of his conquests with women, though
such triumphs are not much to boast
of If one may judge by the ease with
which scandals are bred over there.
It's a mean trick. however, and n
which entirely does away with the
possibility of pity. 1t is something
which the Prince himself is never
guilty of; indeed. it is we'll known
that one of the pillars of his popu-
larity rests upon his deliberate per-
jury to shield a guilty wife.
Gordon-Cumming had not so much
honor or discretion or whatever they
may call it in England, and he talked
too much. The venom of the hatred
engendered by his words naturally
leads one Il believe hat they were
true for the most part. But that, OF
course. Is no excuse for them. That
he is paying the penalty is clear.
How many more will suffer with him
is a matter of interest to the morbidly
curious.
Anybody who concludes from such
nasty exhibitions as this Gordon-Cu Cum
ming case that there are no virtuous
women and no honorable men in the
English aristocracy will make much
the same error as he who thinks that
there are no orderly young men in an
American college. The good will still
outnumber the wicked, wen when the
process of corruption by sloth has
gone much further, but till the mil
lenium itself appears virtue will con-
tinue to be uninreresting, and its story
will remain untold.

The Boston and Maine Passenger De-

Illustrated publications an album which is
called New England's ~Seashore.' It's
white cover il embossed with a fine front
ispiece of rocks and breakers, done ia SIX
colors after an aquarelle by Copeland.
and the early pages gives u little itin-
erarv written by Mr.. NJ. E. Sweetssr n a
-bird's-eye-vlew map Of the whole Maine
system. On subsequent pages are scores
of illustrations representing historic OF
merely picturesque and romantic points
all along the way from Boston TO the
Grand Menan. some reproduced from
photographs and some from sketches.
These pictures and the ornamental de-
which accompany them are printed
in different eolors. and the value and
charm of each group are heightened oy
an opposite extract from Whittier, Long
fellow, or some other famous poet. The
little pamphlet is the rarest proof yet
given Of the enterprise and taste OF the
Maine Passenger Department, and could
not be surpassed in elegance by any
thing IN its kind issued for arts sake
alone.

good reason before they strike. to
make very sure that their position is
honestly stated to the public and to
choose a time when their employers
can afford to grant their demands
without running themselves.
The libel suit of that outrageous
fake. Frank McDermit, against
Messrs. IRE and Hunt, OF the Newark
Sunday cal, has been indefinitely
postponed. This is a pity. Only one
thing was wanting to complete the
farce of Newark newspaper justice.
and that was the conviction OF Messrs.
IRE and Hunt for libeling the ride
ulous person who is prosecuting them
The for which McDermit is
responsible when there is anything to
gain. recently published the most
scandaious charges against the two
gentlemen named, and when he was
prosecuted for libel there was no ole
too small for him to creep through
and no subterfuge too thin TO impose
on the jury.
McDermit's style of dealing with his
rivals is not unlike that of the late
infamous Argus under Charles 5.
Clarke. If public sentiment is as true
in Newark as it is here. doubtless the
result Of such abuse will be the same
there as here.
