The correspondent of the Baltimore Her

w. Tongue and j. 7. Stump, preached at
the Wesley Grove camp, NJ. E. Church
South, near Baltimore:
Rev. J.. w. Tongue, "the old man elo-
%quent," delivered a discourse full of pathos
and power at II a. m, from the words Sir,
we would see Jesus" The venerable preacher
held the attention of his audience through
out the sermon, and it produced a profound
impression.
At 9 p. m. Rev. J. P. Stump, of Charles
Town. spoke effectively on the "Shipwreck
of faith" As he depicted the dangers from
the rocks of bad company, intemperance and
procrastination, many persons were vislbly
affected.

ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA.



For many year after her husbands
death.Queen Victoria world never con
sent to be photographed, save in very
lugubrious trim and with the prince
consort's bust or portrait well in sight.
Much livelier now that she is much old
er, her majesty to-day sits for artists in
grand array as well as everyday clothes,
and some of her favorite jewels and
laces have thus become well known to
the public. The severely criticised orr
naments bedeclzingthe sovereign's head
and chest on the jubilee coinage may
be recognized as studies from actual
jewels much beloved by her majesty,
Sir Edgar BeehE had hard time of it
with outsiders when those coins were
first issued. but he was amply compen-
sated by eulogiuEls falling from royal
and imperial lips upon the charming
way he had rendered that favorite neck4
lace, brooch and earrings.
The queens money from the state is
all paid up in advance to the S1st of
March next, and so are all the annui-
ties, that are granted to the prince of
Wales and the other members OF the
royal family, and Coutts', the bankers,
are the only persons who know how the
royal accounts stand. The thirty-six
thousand pounds year allowed for the
children of the prince of Wales remains
at the same amount as it was before the,
death of the duke OF Clarence, and this.
money will contiaue to be paid till six
Honths after her majesty's demise.
On each anniversay-or the annual
celebration of the queens Wedding
the. beautiful painting of the marriage,
of her majesty is brought into the royal
dining-room and decorated with white,
silk rosettes. In this painting the,
queens mother and the beautiful duch-.
ess of Sutherland, mistress of the robes,
show to great advantage. The curtana
also appears near the queens left shoul-
der, held at the "carry" by a state,
officer, (the eurtana or curtein is the
pointless sword of King Edward the
Confessor, considered an. emblematic
sign of mercy, and in the left hand
background of the picture are two
large burning tapers on the altar of the
Chapel Royal. st. James, which were
blown out by the archbishops of Cam
terbury and York Immediately after,
the ceremony. These canGies are still
preserved, and w.iA not be lighted again
until required for a sacred ceremony,
which, we trust, wfi not take place un--
