QUEEN vIcroRIA's BIRTHDAY.

Sunday, May 244th, was the seventy
seventh anniversary of the birth of
Queen Victoria, a name that will go
down along the stream of history
among the brightest of the names both
in the past and present.
For fffty-nine years she has sat on
the throne of the United Kingdom, and
those fifty-nine years mark an era in
the history of the world. The manners
of mankind have made a marked
change and advance since Queen Vic
toria came to the throne. Anyone who
will pick up Thackeray's lecture on
George the Fourth and contrast the
picture, the standard of life in those
times with the standard now, must be
struck with the change. Material pros
perity there has been, but it is the
moral influence of a good woman at the
head of a great nation, a good woman
who has had strength of character
enough to make her influence felt, that
has made the greatness of Victoria's
reign.
People may not like the policy of the
English Government, they may not like
the insular pride, and at times the re
Iigious narrowness of certain classes,
but they cannot deny the beauty of
character and the worldwide influence
of the virtues of Victoria, Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of
India

Now as to the ultimate action it is
hard to say. The time of the House is
so short that the new bill may never
come to life. Still, a brave effort has
been made to get this Pacific cable
through, and to get it through with ad-
vantage to the Republic of Hawaii
What we need here is cable commune
cation to the United States, and inter
island cable communication. Of course
this must come. Steam communication
has come, as telephones have come,
as electric light has come, as the cleo
trio cars will come. The question is.
will it come as soon as we want it?
There has been many times in our his
tory when it would have been valuable

to have had the cable. There will yet
come times in our future history when
a cable from these Islands may be more
than invaluable. not only to ourselves,
but to the United States.

cure your Remedy made on my little

which resulted in boils and sores ON.

troubled her severely and continuous

trying different remedies for a long
time, without permanent relief, q
friend advised me to try your medicine.
After a short use of it she began to
improve. When she had taken about
eighteen bottles the boils and sores
were entirely healed and there has
never been any return of them. She
seems now to be entirely well.

CONDUCTORS MUST GIVE BOND.
All passenger conductors on the
Seaboard Airline will be required TO
file bonds for the faithful discharge
of duty with the management of the
road. Orders to this effect, accom-
panied by the blank bond, with in
structions to execute and return to
headquarters within ten days from
last Monday have been sent to the men,
says the Charlotte News. In the ranks
of the conductors of the system the
Inauguration is new one, and dis
satisfaction has resulted, although no
open protests have been made The
surety on these bonds is the American
Surety Company, of New York, and
the amount of each is $500. The con-
ductors will comply with the order,
but under protest. They see no rea-
son for introducing this feature among
them, more especially because, for the
seven years the system has been in
operation there has never, to their
knowledge, been a thought of intro
ducing il before, there is no necessity
for il 10 be done now. They claim it
puts them at the mercy of the surety
company, for if they should refuse to
accept man he in consequence would
lose his place, as the S. A. L. officials
will recognize no other bondsmen, and
will keep no one in their employ who
is not so bonded
