When the daughter of Sir Henry Ponson-

then Lady Ponsonby went nearly mad with
Joy because of the distinction vouchsafed

When the queen went on n railroad jour
ney. all traffic was stopped on that particu-
lar line for quarter of an hour before the
passage of the royal train and for 10 min
utes afterward as we'll She had an i'm
movable prejudice against travelling faster
than 20 miles an hour and was never con-
tent to travel at night.
In her younger years Victoria devoted
much time to art. etching being her favor
lite form of expression. One of her earliest
pieces of work was portrait of her eldest
daughter, Victoria, now the dowager En-
press Frederick of Germany. A room in
Buckingham palace was fitted up with all
necessaries for etching and printing. and
there the queen and the prince consort
used to pass much OF their time absorbed
with the etching needle and the printing
press.
A very commendable trait of Queen Vic
toria's character was her loyalty to her
servants. Though exacting even to the
point of severity in her demands upon them,
few mistresses, royal or otherwise, have
ever been as considerable of those who served
her as was her majesty of England When
famous old John Brown died, she was so
greatly affected as to cause ridicule on the
part of some journalists as well as other
folk. and there was even suspicion of scan
dial in some OF. the gossip that got abroad.
This died out long before Victoria's death
and was doubtless without foundation.
The queen wrote much but nnhlished liz

wnen preparing dispatches for the queen
Victoria always took most OF her personal
belongings with her when she went on a
journey, and it was therefore no easy task
for her household to make the change from
one place to the other. The moving of the
court from Windsor to Osborne is described
by one who has helped in the moving as
worse than three fires and an earthquake
all at oncen Everything except the car
pets and pictures had TO be removed from
the royal chambers after her majesty left
them and set up in good order in the other
palace before her arrival there.
Upon one occasion Victoria was ready to
start. had donned her bonnet and seated
herself in her carriage, when it was noted
that the mistress of the robes, the late
Duchess of Sutherland was not in her seat
in the carriage opposite her royal mistress.
There was row, but presently the missing
woman appeared literally on the run, and
in drenching perspiration. and visibly
frightened. The queen looked at her tardy
subordinate, but instead of scolding her

On June 90. 1887 the queen once more
made n state progress through her great
capital to attend a special service at West
minister abbey in honor of the semicenten-
NAL anniversary of her accession to the
throne Every reigning house in the world
sent either members of their families or
great dignitaries to represent them at the
ceremony. and while kings and queens
chatted gayly together in the chancel of
the abbey while awaiting the coming of
Queen Victoria, her majesty--no longer the
bonny, fresh and healthy checked English
girl of 1887, but venerable looking, white
haired old lady-was driving up Piccadiily,
her carriage escorted by the most brilliant
troop of princes, archdukes and grand
dukes that have ever been gathered to-
gether for such purpose.
Most notable in the procession was the
queens favorite son-in-law. the prince inn

it was observed that when at the abbey the
various princes and princesses present came
forward to do homage to the queen as she
sat in the chancel on her throne the good
old lady embraced ..Unser Fritz with
especial warmth and affection, as if filed
with presentiment of his impending death,
which took place after a reign of only sc
days.
Seven times during her reign was Queen
Victoria's life attempted, but only on one
occasion, in May, 1850. did her majesty re-
ceive any actual injury, and that OF mere
occasion was a dismissed officer of hussars,
and he was seized before he had time to &C
complish more than strike her a sharp blow
in the face with stick. The man was SEN
fenced to seven years transportation. The
first attempt TO assassinate her was made
in June. 1910, by man named Oxford. who
fired two pistol shots at her while she was
driving up Constitution hill with her hus-
band. The would be murderer was de-
tanned several years in prison and at last
accounts was earning his livelihood by
house painting out in Australia.
Victoria had nine children-Victoria,
dowager empress of Germany; Albert Ed
ward, prince of Wales Alice. grand Ouch
ess of Hesse; Alfred, duke of Edinburgh;
Princess Helena, Princess Louise; Arthur,
duke of Connaught; Leopold, duke of Al
bany, and Princess Beatrice. All have had
large families save the Princess Louise, who
married Lord Lorne.

The queen hated tobacco smoke with all
her strength, and it was forbidden to every
one to indulge in the fragrant weed within
the walls OF Windsor. 1t is not recorded
that this rule was ever relaxed but once,
and that was on the occasion of the visit of
King Charles OF Roumania to her majesty
in 1892. Then the smelIsof Havanas was

On being informed of her new dignity
she burst into tears, and then, addressing
herself to the archbishop, exclaimed, II beg
your grace to pray for me-" The whole
party, consisting of the little queen, the
prelate the lord chamberlain and the late
kings physician, Sir Henry Halford. then
knelt, and there, in the middle of the
night. offered up prayer to heaven that she
might be strengthened from above and
guided to the blessing of her people.
That was how Queen Victoria COM
menced her long and prosperous reign, and
now it may well be said without fear of
contradiction that her prayer offered up on
the night of er accession has been fulfilled
and that her reign has proved a blessing to
her people.
Victoria was from the first idolized by
the English people. Her youth appealed
to their sympathies, and her good sense to
their respect. She became sort of national
pet yet withal She was admired for her
wisdom. her rectitude and her firmness
Greville speaks with somewhat of regret of

Although it. is impossible to say
that Queen Victoria outlived her
usefulness, yet she may be said
to have outlived her happiness.
During her long and eventfui reign
she had seen all her Oldest friends and ac-
quaintances as well as numerous members
Of her immediate family disappear into the
grave. until at last she felt herself quite
alone in the world. Not a single one of her
former associates to whom she could UNI
burden her mind, discuss the earlier events
of her reign. or with whom she could enjoy
congenial intercourse, was left.

Sne sacren eoTnce were heard enthusiastic
cries Of God save the queenf' Hats and
handkerchiefs were waved aloft. peers and
peeresses put on their coropets, and bishops
dounel their caps. The guests included
other sovereigns. and they yielded to no
one in the enthusiasm of the moment.

ton Of the ceremony. The young sovereign
was lifted bodily into the royal seat, being
peers. His grace of Canterbury knelt and
did homage for himself and other spiritual
lords, aud all kissed the queens hand. Her
uncles, the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge,
removed their coronets and did homage
with set and elaborate speech. They touched
the crown upon her head, kissed her left
cheek and then retired. The peers also
touched her crown, but kissed her hands
A Marriage For Love-
Queens enjoy a privilege which is with
held, save in leap year, from women occrl-
pyinG less august position in the social
scale-namely, that of themselves making
the offer of marriage, instead of waiting to
receive the proposal from their suitors.
And it was therefore Queen Victoria who
year after her coronation at Westminster
abbey, on June %, 1888. invited her cousin,
Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, to
share his life with her. 1t is only stating
the truth to say Of this marriage, however,
that il was one that had been agreed upon
for many years, providing Victoria herself
approved of the young man. For a time
she is recorded as having been not well
pleased with him, but there is no doubt
that she fell in love with him before the
union was proposed by her. The nuptials
took place on the 10th of February, 1870, at
the Chapel Royal, St. James palace. The
wedding breakfast was given at Bucking

tie The two volumes, MY Life In the
Highlands and it's sequel, published short
ly after John Browns death, were singular
productions. The first was intended n
vent to her feelings on the death of Prince
Albert, and the other filed the same pur-
pose after the decease of Brown. Both are
dull, and both disclose as far as may be
the daily life of an exalted parsonage, who
was, after all. but a woman, and in some
ways very weak and foolish woman, but
one who was OF good heart, possessed of
many noble qualities and of unquestionabls
purity of life.
The worlds Progress During victorIa's
Reign
While Victoria was on the throne serf-
dom was abolished in Russia and slavery
done away with in the United States and
Brazil. Russia lost some territory in Eu-
rope, but gained in Asia. Turkey sank
from first rate to no rate power. Africa
was largely explored, and the dark places
on its map nearly all cleared up. The age
of steam. only fairly begun when she as
cended the throne, reaehe1 its highest es-
tate apparently, and the age of electricity
was ushered in before she died. the tele-
graph, the telephone. electric lighting and
electric transportation ali coming into be-
ing. The advance in science generally was
marvellous. Literature and the useful arts
fiourished as never before Education was
more widely diffused, and the newspaper
press became factor in affairs The cause
of constitutional government progressed
everywhere in the civilized world save per-
haps in Russia. Even in faraway Japan the
old forms of government were superseded.
In short. the progress OF the world in near
" every direction during Victoria's reign
was greater than ever before
