VICTORIA'S BIRTHDAY.

Today, May p, Queen Victoria com
pletes the seventy-fourth year of her age
and her loyal subjects are talking of
celebrating her birthday with more than
customary honors. Her recent appear
ance in London in grand public func-
ton was the first for some time and il
was intimatea would be the last. VIC
toria's only senior in point of age IS
Christian X of Denmark who was -
years old on the Sth of April. but he has
reigned less than. thirty years, while
Victoria will on Jnue 20 have completed
tifty-six years. An eastern exchange
says:
In the long line Of English sovereigns
the age OF the present queen has been
exceeded twice, her grandfather. George
III, dying at the age of -. and her
great-grandfather. George IL. at the age
of -. Her uncle and immediate prede-
ceSSor. William ". died at -. Eliza
beth, The most famous Of her woman
predecessors, reached the age of 20. and

length Of reign, tifty-s!X years. aud it
was exceeded by only one English mon
arch. George Ill whose total nomina!
reign WAS fittv-nine years. but about
eleven years of that time there was i
regency, the king being insane.

A SERMON IN A WILL.

When the Will of the late Rufus
Hatch was filed for probate there
was found IN 1t short sermon of great
power.
The testator said, at the close Of a be-
quest which gave fortunes to his chill
uren, that he did not wish to have his
sons so TO college unless they adopt pro-
LESSONS. He preferred that they should
learn trades. In conclusion, he warned
his children against the use of tobacco
~ alcoholic drinks in any form, and
says: Il earnestly desire that ms chill
iren shall not gamble in any way for
money, as their father has had expert
ence sufficient 10 serve for all his pcs-
terity.
Not having anything TO say IS TO his
theory of college education. which NAV
or may not be misplaced, yet his caution
about learning a trade and against gam
bling should be taken TO heart by every
youth merging into manhood. 4 col
lege education does not unfit the man
for trade by rights. but as a fact it has
u tendency. as colleges so these days,
10 disuade him from such pursuits.
Yet no one is as safe As the man who
has trade. few days ago the Spring
field Democrat told the story Of desti-
tute young man who was a victim of his
clothing, He was well educated but he
had no trade and once OUT of employ
Inent and reduced to thread bare gar
lnents he found no one TO give him en-
conragement al anything he could do.
Had he been master OF trade he would
have found work the moment that he
presented his card. Labor organizations
re practical IN this way, and the man
who Is willing to work has chance.
Rufus Hatch's warning against gam,
bling retells an old story. It'tells the
stcry so often told by crime aud SUICIDE
and yet so little needed

THE DROUTH ExrANT.

Whatever the cause of the very re-

INsPIR TON OF FAMOUS HYMN.

1t is well known that tue hymn, Hold
the Fort !" was inspired by the sio- OF the
signals exchapg If by Generals Sherman
and COrse wien the latter was besIe-ed at
Altoona, Ga, but few know how the
idea was brought to Mr.. MOodys mind.
OBce. when General and Mrs. Corse lived
in Chicago, Mr.. Moody called. While
there ne took up book that told the
story of that famous conflict, in which
Corse had been so badly wounded. Seeing
the message from General Sherman, Hold
the for:, for | am coming" he exclaimed
enthusiastically: What a magnificent
motto tina. would be for marching song
for the army of Christ" And the day
after the famous hymn was written, be
ginning with Hold the fort, for | am
coming. Jesus signals still" a hymn that
has been sung almost in every hamlet on
the Continent aud whose strains across
the OCEAN have become familiar 70 the ears
of men who never heard OF General Corse
or the De.eagured men at Altoona.-Bos

Il Will be interesting 10 many of our
readers TO know that our fellow-towns-
man, Captain Clark Gray. just elected
grand commander of Knights Templar
of Kansas, was one of the beleagured
garrison at Altoona. At that point

hill, and under the protection of tie fort
and its garrison, were stored two mil
lions of rations. being a reserve supply
for the use OF Sherman's army. When
Atlanta fell. and Hood with the Conted-
crate army turned northward, tearing
up the railroad track, and capturing or
dispensing the small attachments of the
Union soldiers stationed as guards along
the line, he sent French's division of
seven thousand men, with an army
train, against the stronghold of Al
toona, TO capture the garrison and carry
OIL or destroy the vast quantity of sup
plies there stored. and thus leave the
Union army IN the heart of the enemy's
country without provisions.

afternoon the battle ragged. Sherman
from the top 81 Kenesaw mountain,
twenty miles distant, signaled the fa-
nous dispatch, in answer 10 which Corse
sent back the equally famous reply.
When finally chagrined and crestfallen,
General French sounded the retreat,
700 of the brave garrison failed TO re-

out of the conflict in command OF his

fort WAS charnel house, but the flag

THE FIRST CONSUL.

President Cleveland has got new
cinch on civil service. He has been so
worried by hungry Democrats that he
has figured out reform that is TO settle
the Office question IN the United States
for all time to come. Every appointive
federal position is to be made life posi-
ton or during good behavior, with a
commission headed by cabinet officer
to fill vacancies. How such a smart
man can live Is the wonder of the world
how an individual running so all to
brains continues to breathe puzzles the
medical fraternity beyond ali account.
Mr.. Cleveland is to recommend the
scheme III his message to congress which
every body knows will do his bidding.
In the mean time backed by senate
of his own party, he will proceed to fill
all the offices with Democrats, 50 that at
the end of his present term he will be
IN position To either dictate his own sue
cessor or 10 assume the office of first
The policy once inaugurated could only
be overthrown by the defeat of the
Democratic party in the house and in
the senate and in the presidency. With
everything in their hands and the party
pledged to the Wall street plutocratic
idea, such 4 defeat might be possible,
but not probable. The solid south,
backed by the cities of New York and
Chicago, as in the last election, would
determine the supremacy of govern
