upon her peaceful accession to the
throne, and the satisfactory manner
in which all arrangements have been
made and carried out. She is gratified
to know that her victory here was not
achieved by the arts of war, but by the
more pleasant ones of peace. Intrigu-
ing for thrones has, in the years which
have rolled into the mists of scarce re-
membered time. cost millions of lives
and countless millions of wealth, and
all that a crown might be secured for
the piaything of some one. But ouI

She states that she finds here an

with veins of gold and silver, which
pour their precious wealth into the
magnificent cities of the empire. while
