Revered, beloved-Oh. you that hold
A nobler office upon earth
Than arms or poEe of brain. OF birth.
Could give the warrior kings of old.
Victoria-since your Royal srace
To one of less desert allows
This laurel greener from the brows
OF him that utter'd nothing base;
And should your greatness and the care
That yokes with empire yield you time
To make demand of modern rhyme,
If aught Of ancient worth be there;
Then-while a sweeter music wakes,
And thro' wild March the throstle calls.
Where all about your palace walls
The zunlit almond blossom shakes
Take. Madam. this poor book of song:
For tho the faults were thick as dust
Ir vacant chambers. could trust
Your kindness. May you rule us long.
And leave us rulers OF your blood
AS noble till the latest dayi
May children OF our children say.
'she wrought her people lasting good;
Her Court was pure; her life serene;
God gave her peace; her land reposed:
A thousand claims to reverence closed
In her as Mother, Wife and Queen;
And statesmen at her council met
Who knew the seasons when TO take
Occasion by the hand, and make
The bounds of freedom wider yet
by shaping some august decree
Which kept her throne unshaken still
Broad based upon her peoples will.

POLICE MANNERS.

Some of the policemen of the red light" dis
trict have been testifying that Captain Herlihy
did not insult the Rev. Mr.. Paddock. but treated
him with entire courtesy and respect-showed
himself. in brief. perfect gentleman" 1t Is
just possible that in the case of some Of them
this testimony may be meant to be true, and
may be true according TO the witnesses stand
ard Of courtesy and decency, and at the same
time there may be not the slightest discrepancy
between 1t and the charges made by Mr.. Pad
dock against the Captain.
1t is unhappily true that under the brutal and
demoralizing rule TO which the Police Depart
ment has OF late been subjected n certain pro-
portion Of its members have become habitually
offensive and insulting in their attitude toward
the public or toward such members of the pub
lie as appear to have no pull" They seem to
think themselves privileged TO order citizens
around at will and 10 toward them the
which upon slight provocation may become
abusive, profane and obscene.
Such criticism Is not, of course. to be made Of
the police force a whole There are thou
sands of men on it who have an entirely correct
conception Of duty. and who treat others, even
the humblest of private citizens. with the re-
spect they desire for themselves But there are
unfortunately some Doors and ruffians on the
force, and such would naturally gravitate to so
congenial centre as that provided by Herlihy.
and no matter how much like a ruffian he acted
they would declare him 10 have been the very
pink of Chesterfeldan courtesy.

TIE MAYOR AND THE FLAG.

Mayor Van Wyck would not lower the flag on
the City Hall to halfmast when he learned of
the Queens DEATH because, he announces, he
did not want 10 set up a new precedent" He
evidently preferred TO follow his own old prece-
dent of obtrusive boorishness on all possible oc-
casOns, and TO offend the great majority Of
reputable citizens of NewYork, lest perchanCe
whose memories are supposed to be dangerous
on Election Day. This is really all that it
would be necessary to say on the subject if the
Mayor were as well known everywhere as he
is in this city. and perhaps it is hardly worth
while to add anything for the sake of enlghten-
Magistrates as TO the propensities of ours.
Knowing how the people of New-York have
signified their sentiments they are not likely TO
misunderstood its official refusal to join In a
wellnigh universal tribute corresponding to that
which the Queen and people of England have
repeatedly paid when this country in
mourning
But there is a local sense Of evaporation
which cannot fail to be heightened by the
thought that almost any other man in the
Mayors office would have been sure TO feel as
the President of the United States felt, that
this a time 10 make a precedent which
there will be no opportunity TO follow until an
other noble woman lays down the sceptre of a
friendly and kindred nation after a long life
marked by uniform, particular and invaluable
goodwill to the United States

The name Of Strauss has been and still is ors a,
conture with in operetta; but we fear that little
conjurng will be done with it in connection with
Vienna Life. produced last evening at the Broad.
way Theatre. 1t is English adaptation as Ii.
phrase runs in comic opera circles Of piece called
Wiener Blut." that made its appearances In Vienna
soon after Johann Strauss death. It bears every
evidence of being compilation Of various rem
nants of the composers long activity as a writer
for the stage and the ballroom. 1t is fun OF remt
niscences Of the popular waltz melodies Of the
earlier Strauss days, pieced together with matter
Of more or less feebieness. and altogether Is Of
such thin and colOrless warp that 1t makes only
for WEAKNESS and for regret OF the days Of
Strauss real and pulsing invention Much care
and expense have evidently been lavIshed upon the
presentation OF the piece, and a stage setting Of
great beauty has been provided If equal attention
