How Victoria Was Crowned.
(From Harper's Round Table. J

Several mistakes occurred during the
ceremonials. The "heads of the depart
ments" did not seem to know their bust
ness. The Queen preserved her compo.
sure and did not seem embarrassed,
though once she turned to Lord Thynn
and said "Pray tell me what am to
do, for they don't know" Lord Role,
a man so years old and very feeble,
stumbled and fell as he attempted to
mount the steps Of the throne to do her
homage. MAY 1 not get up to meet
him." she exclaimed, and without wait
ing for a reply she arose and went to him,
and this little act of thoughtful kindness
called forth praise from all beh olders.
The confusion ceased when the choir
sang "This is the day" etc. The people
again shouted "God save Queen Victo-
rial" as she arose from the throne and
followed the Archbishop to the altar.
She laid aside the crown and scepter and
knelt to receive the sacrament She then
resumed her ''ensigns of royalty and re-
turned to the throne till the communion
service was finished, and with this the

Speaker Reed writes to the North
American Review an article justifying
the methods which it is found essential
to adopt in the House of Representatives
in order that the absolutely necessary
business of the House could be got
through with. Referring to the. record of
the Fifty fourth Congress, he says: "The
number of bills introduced into the House
and Senate was IA, ia. The number of
resolutions was 40 making total of IA
81 bills and resolutions. When we adj
Journed there had been passed of these,
948 acts and resolves. On the calendars
of the House were more than 1000 bills
and resolutions not acted upon, and the
rest were in the pigeon holes of the COM
mites undisturbed or at least unreported
It will therefore be seen that the House
did only six and half per cent of the
business laid before it. Out Of 1854 a

The only discordant note in this time of
general rejoicing among the people of the
British empire comes from the Irish
Nationalist party, which has determined
to actively oppose the adoption of a con-
gratulatory address to the Queen by the
House Of Commons. Whether this is a
wise programme on the part of the
Nationalist is open to grave question,
but wisdom has never been conspicuous
quality of the Irish party. Admitting
that the treatment of Ireland by England
has been unjust or even brutal it is
difficult to see how Victoria can be held
responsible for it. The English people
defeated the home rule scheme proposed
by Gladstone and not Victoria. The Iris b
party might join in tribute to her with
out condoning any fault in the policy of
the English government towards their
island.

The appellate court of the State of Ken
lucky has rendered a decision (which will
more or less cripple all the building and
loan associations in that state. The court
holds that the remedial law enacted by
the legislature in 1898 and which author
lied these associations to charge not ex-
ceeding IL per cent interest including
dues and the legal rate, is uncons titu-
tional. 1t holds that all the interest and
even dues in excess of 6 per cent are
usurious and cannot be charged. 1t is
also held that even the Hdues' are inter-
est, and that the borrowers, who have
been paying from 10 to II per cent in dues
and interest are entitled to recover or be
credited with all in excess of per cent
interest paid.

President Mckinley is to make an at
tempt to revive the arbitration treaty
with England which the Senate recently
defeated. But it takes two to make a

which the recent one was treated by our

Britain should be very reluctant to make
another.

1t will be sad day for American col

similar reason. If that practice ever gen.
orally obtains our colleges will become

be still sadder day for our colleges when

A call for a national convention of col
ored men to be held at Nashville, Tenn.
on September, has just been issued by a
committee of prominent colored men in
the southern states. The meeting will
be somewhat of national race council
to establish d national negro consolida-
ton, bearing an appropriate title and
having a supreme executive and subordi-
nate office and department. The main
object is the unifcation of the C oloref
people of the country into one big organ
ization. for the purpose of improving the
race, placing those who are willing in
possession of farms, trades, professions
and so on. Another object of the pro-
posed organization is to stamp out lynch
ing and to prevail upon the Legislatures
of southern states to do away with "Jim
Crow cars. And on the whole to help
the colored race in an upward movement
towards higher plane of living.

A Morbid Conscience.

1t is we'll, in seeking to initiate the
apostles exercise to have always "a
conscience void of offense," to remem-
Der that the phrase was followed by
two clauses: toward God and toward
men, Augustus Hare, while a stu
dent at Oxford, met an undergraduate
whose morbid conscience made him an
oddity, amused his friends, and offend
ed strangers. In the "Story of My
Life" Mr.. Hare describes the man,
called F., as follows:
His arms and legs strag gle away
from his body, and he holds his hands
UP like kangaroo. One day man
said to him, 'How do you do, r.? and
he answered, "Quite we'll, thank YOU
The next day the man was astondshed
at receiving from r. the following
note:
''Dear Sir: am sorry to tell you
that I have been acting a deceptive
part. When told you yesterday that
I was quite we'll, had really a head.
ache; this has been upon my conscience
ever since"
The note amused the man, whose
name was Burton, and he showed it to
friend, who, knowing RS weakness.
said to him:
ooh, R., how could you act SO wrong.
~ as to call Mr.. Burton dear SIR there
by giving him the impression that you
liked him, when you know that you
dislike him extremely?'
R. was sadly distressed, and few
days later Mr.. Burton received the fol-
lowing:
Burton, am sorry to trouble you
again, but have been shown that, UNI
der the mask Of friendship, I have
been for the second time decedTing you:
by calling you dear sir, I may have led
you to suppose I liked you, which
never did, and never can do. I am.

CHAPTER III.

Beatrix Lennox, child as she was at
that time, remembered the untold horror
of the day on which her father was
brought home dead. She remembered the
sianting sunshine as it fell upon the grass,
the silent hours while her father was
away and her mother, Lady Lennox, lay
reading on the couch. How suddenly the
calnness and the sweet sunshine seemed
to terminate as over the greensward came
the tramp of men! She remembered the
terrible cry of her mother when she heard
what the men had TO say-''The colonel is
dead; and the little isping child, hardly
knowing the meaning OF the words, re-
peated them-''The colonel IS dead"
