LONDON, June 23.-The last stroke OF
II had not died away on the midnight
air when from 100 metropolitan steeples
tumultuous peal of bells announced
Diamond Jubilee Day. The vast crowd
that filed the miles of streets and
squares answered with ringing cheers
knd here and there the singing OF ''God
Save the Queen"
The crowds that peopled the streets
and squares all night in the hope OF
good view of the procession were amaz-
ing in their sublime patience. Waiting
for II, IA and 16 hours, as many OF
these people are doing, jammed to-
gether, is feat of endurance that could
only be sustained by some overmaster-
ing desire.
A clear starlit sky. and cool air kept
the spirits Of the crowd at the topmost
point throughout the vigil. With dawn
the hope of Queens weather merged in
certainty and the world here prepared
itself in fullest confidence for day Of

The earliest active indication Of the
great event-apart from the people
awaiting twas shortly before 6, the ar
rival of vestry carts to freshly gravel
the roadways, after tn fashion which
prevailed in the good Old days of Sam
Pepys. Then little later the newt
able precursor of any procession, the
police, began to arrive in great numbers
5000 being distributed along the line
of route.

The streets on the north side of the
Thames were closed to ordinary vehicu-

to all traffic at midnight and Westmin-
ster bridge and other bridges between

were removed from Westminster and
London bridges.
The first great difficulty of the police
was assisting owners Of seats on stands
aid houses to get to them, they being
permitted to drive to them up to 10
o'clock, for there was vast interval be-
tween title to seat and actual pos
session. The crowds on the sidewalks
were quite willing to give passage to
the favored mortals who owned seats
but to do so was difficult lit was an at

horses with rare action, fully entered
into the spirit and meaning Of it all, the
fondly carried colors for which these
men would die; and over all the rich
strains of that music they best loved to
hear-the sight was one to stir the blood
as only soldiers have stirred it since the
dawn of time. But the scores of troops
and companies were literally too numer-
GUS to mention except as brilliant
whole. 1t seemed like nothing so much
as some stream of FURNISHED gold flow

ings, gathered to witness it's passage to
a land of light.
The Queen at Last.
The empire had passed in review, and
the head Of it all was now to come, her
majesty The royal procession proper
was interviewer with the crowd of wait
ing dignitaries of all sorts. First came
the aides de camp to the queen, these
being headed by the Prince Of Wales
and the Dukes of Cambridge and Con-
naught, and the Earl of Wemyss.
Then followed alone the lord lieuten-
ant of London, His Grace the Duke of
Westminster, in lord ieutenant's
dress. The duke was followed by a
glittering cavalcade of officers, the head
quarters staff. To them succeeded field
marshals.
Next came three officers of the auxil-
iary forces in attendance on H. r. Fl.
the Princess of Wales, equerries, gen
tlemen in waiting and military attaches,
foreign naval and military attaches,
brilliant lot of gentlemen, uniformed in
the dresses of all the courts Of Europe
and half its crack regiments and wear

After the Germans came the most
brilliant group of all the soldiery, the
officers of the imperial service, troops
from Iudia, in their uniforms, mixture
of the English regular army and native
dress, were brilliant to degree not to

troops, after $3.50, taking up their ap-
pointed places. The wise, however, had
reached their seats in stands or OBJ
tanned access to houses where they had
bought windows by to 7:30 o'clock. It
was only the inevitable late comers who
had to push and struggle, in the case of
ladies much to the damage of their toll
cites. At length order was evolved out
of chaos-many of the extreme late COM
ers were peremptorily shut out and
everybody settled down to wait. The
picture was complete. The last touches
of decorator, upholsterer and florist had
been given, the fine effect of the decora-
tions could be viewed, the faces were
in their places.

presented to the corporation by the
maiden queen at the opening of the
royal exchange A. D. 1870, was carried
by the lord mayor. The sword is 3 feet
II inches long, with fine Damascus
blade.
On the arrival of the qleen the lord
mayor uncovered. Approaching the
carriage of her majesty his lordshsp.
with all due obeisance, presented the hilt
of the city's pearl sword which was un-
drawn. This was heancient ceremony OF
dutiful submission. The queen lightly
touched it, thus returning it to the lord
mayor, in token that his submission was
graciously accepted by his sovereign.
Her majesty then commanded the lord
mayor and sheriffs to proceed, and the
procession moved towards St. Pauls
amid roars of cheers, that seemed in
the narrow streets to be echoed and re-
echoed.

AS her majesty entered the gates OF
the palace at 2 O'Clock, distant gun in
Hyde Park announced to so much of
the world as was not before the gates
that the great procession was over. The
event so long prepared had passed into
history. The sound of the royal salute
was answered still by cheering, as if the
loyal subjects who had came to cheer
had not yet satisfied their ambition, and
then the crowd faded away as it came.
The queen reached the palace ON her
return from the procession at :45 p. m.
She was very much pleased and smiling
and wos not over fatigued. Thd whole

"IN HIS PRESENCE"
BY JANE GREY SYME.


Ny feet can ne'er grow weary,
My heart sings all the day;
For the Father is beside me,
And let Him lead the way.
BY the waters still He guides me,
And through the pastures green,
Along paths bathed in sunlight,
And decked with glorious sheen.
With the knowledge Of His presence,
My heart can feel no fear,
Nor cen a wish can enter,
With Him 80 very near.
No longings come to grieye me,
There's naught to be denied,
For with His arms around me,
My soul is satisfied.
He sees my need and doth supply,
With such loving care;
know not what it means to want,
10 sorrow, or despair.
From the day dawn to the twilight,
lis sweet TO do His will,
And let His wisdom guide me,
AS His wishes | fulfill.
And when the evening shadows
Are deepening into night,
lie seems to come cen nearer
And whisper, "All is right"
So my heart still sings His praises,
AS | close my eyes and rest,
For His arms are still around me.
And | sleep upon His breast.

Editor Greenbrier Independent:
On May Goth, when the country
was fast becoming brown and scar,
and many vast fields of green wheat
and barley lay in swath or were al
ready standing in shock. left
Los Angeles for the world-renowned
Santa Clara valley. After short
run up beautiful valley, we were
in the Coast Range and going through
tunnels every few minutes. One
tunnel took us nearly ten minutes to
pass through. These mountains are
not at all beautiful, but are grand
and picturesque. Early in the af-
ternoon we emerged upon that plain
to the east of the mountain, known
as the Mohave Desert. Here is a
great deal of brush and many large
cacti. The Desert is not so sandy
and bare as farther south, but still
is dreary enough. Later we were
back in the mountains again, and
were descending into the San Joa-
quin (Wahkeen) valley. Dusk was
now coming on. but could see that
the country in every direction was
one vast wheat field. Off to one
side Of the road l saw one of the
combined harvesters, drawn by
about twenty mules. This machine
cuts, threshes and sacks the grain,
and drops off sacks, not sheaves.-
One OF these is worth from 1,5OO
to $1,000. OF course, the wheat
must be dead ripe to sack up, but
wheat here never gets too ripe to
cut. A farmer just cuts quietly
along till all the crop is cut, if that
is not till September. Housekeep-
ers here want Eastern -four for good
bread. All the country from Oak
land down to San Jose (Ho.zay)
along the eastern shore of the bay
was pretty and green. Many of the
lofty hills off in the distance were
cultivated to their very tops. From
San Jose nearly to San Francisco the
country is a vast level valley, full of
prune orchards, vineyards, wheat
fields, etc.
This ia the Santa Clara valley,
where | now live. so / shall stop to
describe it more fully. The valley
extends from northwest to south
east. To the northeast rises a range
OF mountains beyond the south arm
OF the San Francisco Bay and away
In the distance. Hill rises above
and beyond hill to considerable
height. They are almost treeless,
but are grassy, though under a parch-
ing August sun. From here they
appear to be bare wastes of sand
The height increases toward the
south, and off to the southeast rises

and so densely wooded as to resem-
BILE our own mountains more than
anything have seen since leaving
West Virginia. The two ranges
grow higher and nearer together and
merge into one chain to the soutb
beyond San Jose, thus terminating
the valley at the south.
The country through here is all
under fence; the country houses are
large, substantial structures; in
short, the people seem settled and
prosperous. Live oak, perhaps the
only native tree, is abundant, and
frequently forms large and beautiful
groves. Water can be got by sink
Ing wells to a depih of from ten to
twenty-five feet. But wherever we
find shade or water, the mosquitoes
are fearful. There are many princely

How MANY ANCESTORS HAVE
You ?-Grandfathers and grand
mothers are very proud when they
can boast of having paltry score of
descendants, but no one seems to be
aware of the grounds he has for
boasting of the number of his ances-
tors.

count back in direct line? Ifnot,
try it now, and you will be astonished

step you have fOur-two grandfath.
ers and two grandmothers.
Each of these has had father and
a mother, so you have four great
grandfathers and four great-grand-
mothers. Each of these, again, has
had two parents, so that the fourth
generation back you have sixteen
ancestors, at the ffth you have thir-
ty-t~o, at the sixth you have sixty.
four, and at the seventh you have
one hundred and twenty. eight.
AS you go little further they
rise to the thousands, tens of thou
sands, and hundreds of thousands,
so thai, if all your direct ancestors
for twenty generations be added to-
gether, they amount to over a mil
lion, ard if you 60 back another
twenty degrees, they total one tril-
lion-or more people than there are
In the world at the present moment,
if you leave out Asia.
Now, as forty generations are
equal to only about twelve hundred
years, if you were to calculate back
to the beginning of the world, you
simply couldn't find figures to ex-
press the number of your blood re-
lations.
