I think just now the Kings horses are
being hooked up to the chariot, and.
when he does ride down the sky there
will be such hosanna among his
friends and such wailing among his
enemies as will make the earth tremble
and the heavens sing. I see now the
plumes Of the Lords cavalrymen toss
ing in the air. The archangel before the
throne has already FURNISHED his trum-
pet, and then he will put its golden lips
to his own, and ne will blow the long,
loud blast that will make all nations
free. Clap your hands, all ye peoplei
Hark! I hear the falling thrones and the
dashing down of demolished -iniquities.

A Stranger In the Land.

The refusal of the house Of commons
to adjourn over Derby day recalled q
story related of one of the Roman Cath.
Ole peers who took their seats some four
or five years before the passage OF the
first reform bill after an exclusion of 8.
century and half. He gave notice that
on certain day he would makeea Ger
tain motion, whereupon there arose from
his noble colleagues ageneral cry of
"Derbyr' The astonished novice named
another day,pnly to be greeted with an
equally unanimous expostulation of

would have to ask the forgiveness Of

New York women's Display Of Diamonds.

New York women's Display Of Diamonds.
Thedevelopment which most surprised
the infanta in New York, it appears, was
the amazing display of diamonds made
by women who attended the ball given
in her honor. The princess herself avoids
such display, having been accustomedto
diamonds and other precious stones all
her life. A natural reticence, aside'from
her perfect breeding, restraints her e1-
pressions within diplomatic limits, but
that she was amazed at the gaucheristic
exhibition made by some Of New YorRs
women in that line is q fact, and one not
particularly credltable to the home BIZ
gade either, Joseph Howard,

The infanta gave the walters atheS

of this fact, we take the liberty Of giving
the princess a-tip that the tendency OF

and that with little plebeian Yankee
shrewdness she could have secured re.
suits just as satisfactory with q $40 note.
