Could Rule the Destinies of the
World.

London. Nov. 25.-Over 800 American

Archdeacon Sinclair, Louis Aston Chan
Ter and William Fuich, United States

The menu, which was especially de-
signed for the occasion, was ornament
cd with American and British flags,
and over the seat Of the chairman was
an enormous eagle. The list of toasts
was long. The health Of Queen Vic
toria was proposed by the chairman,
who read letter dated Windsor castle

secretary to her majesty, saying:

NATIONAL BIRD.

He endorsed Benjamin Franklin s
suggestion that the turkey should be
the national emblem instead of the
eagle, who, with aristocratic profile,
loud voice and predatory disposition,
hardly commends himself as the en-
blem of modest, Industrious and con-
scientious democracy, While the tur-
key, like a true altruist exists only
for the good of others and perishes by
thousands yearly for the public well
fare
In conclusion Mr. Hay enumerated
the causes for thankfulness and said:
we are thankful that we speak Eng
fish, or, if our friends on this side of
the ocean think that is Boosting, that
we talk United States, which answers
equally as well for telling the truth
Mr.. Hay, upon closing his reply to
the toast of his health, said: 1.-The

countries are friends. We are the for

THE QUEENS LETTER.

THE queen desires me to beg that
the American embassy will be so good
as to convey to the members of the
American society in London the ex-
preston of her majesty's sincere
thanks for the beautifully Illuminated
address of congratulations she received
from that body. [ have further to as
sure your excellency how deeply the
queen was touched by the sentiments
of sympathy with the enthusiasm of
her own subjects on the Goth anniver-
sary of her accession to the throne,
which was contained in this address
from the citizens of the United States.
ADDRESS FROM HAY.
Mr.. Hay responded to a toast to his
health with a bright speech. He dwelt
he said, ''in that pathetic thank Offering
of our forefathers when they were
keeping alight the spark of freedom
which was destined to kindle into such
beacon blaze, ealightening and ad-
monishing the world. Some of our pc
culiar institutions, continued Mr.. Hay,
thank heaven we have lost. The worst
passed away in the tempest of the war
it caused, but this, the most unques-
tionably peculiar of all We can trust
to abide with us forever. This is one
of the few things that we can do that
offends nobody, threatens no one and
completes with no one. There can never
be too much gratitude in the world.
HAPPY ILLUSIONS.
Seventy millions of voices praising
God together would not justify the adj
dition of one ironclad 20 any navy on
earth. Tonight we can hardly be said
to be in foreign land. A French
statesman said the other day: Where
there is one Frenchman, there is
France. So we have 800 good reasons
here to believe in America tonight,
and may be pardoned for speaking of
some little things that we care about"
Mr.. Hay then paid an eloquent trib-
ute to "the unknown, nameless artist,
who, in the days of early New England
first brought to perfection the pumpkin
pie"

POLITICs ~ CUMBERLAND.
Tho Contest Between Ilivson and Tyler
VIII be Close.

viii he Close.
CUMBERLAND, VA, June 26.-Special.
Tuesday was Cumberland County Court
but not much Of public interest occurred
excopt politically speaking. The County
Democratic Committee met, and decided
to hold primaries on July lbth, lor the
purpose OF selecting delegates to the
Roanoke Convention. The county chair
man was authorized TO confer with the
chairman OF the Democratic COMMITTEES
from buckingham, concerning a joint
representative from the two counties.
There are quite a number OF candidates
for this place. M as buckingham mas
had the representative for three cOnsecu-
tive terms. II seems but right that Cum
berland should have II this time.
But Buckingham has twice as many
delegates i'm the nominating convention
as Cumberland, and can, II she wants TO-
take the place every time. 1t seems. now
over. to be the general opinion, that If
Cumberland selects the right man, Buck
ingham will acQuicsce. But just mere
arises the trouble-to get the right man.
He must be one that the people and not
the politicians want. lie must command
the respect of the people. Our voters aEs
tired of allowing a handful Of oiiice-seek-
ers and oflice-hOlders getting together and
name somebody for them 10 vote LOT.
Prominent among the names mentioned,
is that of Mr.. Dickinson. of Cartersyiile.
lie commands the respect OF the voters
is a clean man, not mixed up with any
factions and If selected. will give salts
faction. If a man OF this description IS
selected by Cumberland, We think Buck
ingham will join in and help elect him.
Otherwise Buckingham will name the can
didate ana ought TO.
The contest between Ellyson and Tyler
remains almost as stated In my former
letter. Both men nave many warm sup
porters and admirers and not until July
10th. will it be certain, for whom our dele
gates will vote at Roanoke.
The weather has been fine for the
wheat harvest, which Is now on and
thrashing has begun. The crop IS rather
over an average. Tobacco is late. gem
orally speaking. but is well worked. and
If seasonable. the prospects are good for
the best crop raised for years. Corn and
oats. at his writing. are hardly an aver
age, owing to cool. dry weather.

ioyable occasion II was 10 al. Mr.. Henry
