A singular fact about Queen Victoria
Ia that ehe has not only always en-,

says the New York Journal. No fewer
than seven attempts haze been made on
her life. and these have been occasions
when the queen has seemed face to face
with death. Hyde Park was the scene
OF the FIRST attempt on the queens life,
which was made by youth OF IL, who
on the 10th OF July, 1870, nred at her
majesty with a pistol The prince con-
sort, TO whom the queen had been mar

Australia. Only two years passed away
before the second attempt, when, al
most on the same spot. a man named
Francis fired at the queen as she was
again driving with the prince. The
shot missed and Francis was sentenced
to death for high treason. the sentence
being afterward commuted to transpor-
tatlon for life by desire OF the queen.
