Qaeen victoria's Fortune.

Quuen Victoria is as mad as O,
March hare because somebody has
found out and published the exact
amount Of her fortune, accompanied
by all the details of her income. The
world has for long time suspected
that Queen Victoria's wealth was
something to be wondered at, but
few probably were prepared for the
statement that 1t foots up to- the
colossal sum of $175, 900, 000l But
this statement has been made, by a
whilom accountant Of the royal
family, and it is generally believed
by the wiseacres. 1t can be well un-
derstood now that the violent oppo-
sition made in parliament upon many
occasions to the granting OF govern
ment moneys to the young scions CT
the royal family was based upon a
cleLc knowledge Of the queens own
opulent resources, and Of her consti-
tutional parsimony.-N. Y. Mail and

Capt. Hartman, Lieut.. nunton, Lieut..

Cadet Stanton. They present a
striking appearance in their uni
forms OF dark blue skirts, regulation
red waists with wide rolling collars
and regulation bonnets. The corps
enjoys the distinction of being the

Among the latest inventions which

Senator John ID. Gordon.

Through the kindly offices of Sena-
tor Faulkner, Rev. d. II. Shields is at
last able to afford the patrons of the
Star Lecture Course the rare pleasure
of listening to the gifted Southerner.
In order to secure sufficient funds, Mr..
Shields proposed to holders of season
tickets that he would close the contract
with Mr.. Gordon provided sufficient
number would agree to pay rs cents
extra for special reserved seat. Two
hundred and twenty-five responded
and theleal was consummated. This
amount is not sufficient to cover the
additional expense. but it is hoped
others may join at once and secure
seats while they may be had at the
present nominal price.
II is but seldom that town the size
of Martinsburg is so highly favored
and our people should show their ap-
probation by turning out en- inasse
and not only encourage the manage
ment but enjoy the rare pleasure of
hearing one of the brightest men Of
the age discuss a subject of absorbing
interest.
