ENoLAND's QUEEN.

Less Givea 70 Blunders and Mere Re-
spected Than Most Rulers.
Just think of the blmders oil Nvina
monarchs have made, even Francia
Joseph, of Austria, whom men now &C.
count Nestor, and all the premiers Of
our time, and then reflect on this reign,
IN which there has never been q blundel
big enough to be perceptible to the mil.
lion eyes which always watch a court.
1t seems to us, wholly apart from the
difficult question of the proper limits
Of loyalty to an individual, there il
enough in the known facts to Justify all
the reverence with which the queen is
regarded, and which extends far be-
yond the limit of her scepter, wide a.
that limit has now become.
Foreigners occupy in many respects
the position Of poeterity, and among
foreigners capable Of judging the rev
erence for the queen is at least as great
as in England, her opinion when known
to foreign courts weighing at least as
heavily as It does with her own minis
ters. This is due, say several of our con-
temporaries recently, to the intermar-
riages which have made her majesty
the common ancestress in so many
courts; in every court, indeed, not
strictly Catholic; and no doubt the
strange position of the queen in that re-
spect is one reason for the special honor
in which she Is held abroad, but is not
the principal one. Relatives can hate
one another very hard, and the queen
Is as greatly respected in Washington
or New York as in Berlin or St. Peters
burg.
Her majesty 4. great because her
feign has been great-Agreat in its en-
terprises, great in its successes, great,
above ell, in that, compatibility which,
owing mainly to the character Of the
sovereign, it has shown to be possible
