and possibly of the Irish bar also. He
graduated at Trinity college, Dublin.
in 1840 and was called to the Irish bar
shortly afterward. In the early sos

The Real Rulera Of Britain.

Sidney Lee has written a biography
OF Queen Victoria which shows, us
more plainly than we have hitherto
known 1t what her relations were with
the statesmen who ruled England dur.
ing her reign. She, while queen and
empress of India, was only figure
head. while Gladstone and Disraeli,
Palmerston and Lord John Russell,
Peel and Aberdeen were the real rul.
ers of England. They were nominally
inferior to her. They were really her
superiors not only in intellect, but In
power. for England IL free country.
and, though she still clings to the folly
of kingcraft, she is jealous of her lib
erty, and when she endows a man
with power she means him to exercise
it-in spite Of all the royal families"
on earth.

Famou. Fr.neh curfew eelI.

a note from Rouen states that the
RoGvel. the celebrated bell in the
belfry Of the town hall, which rings
the curfew every evening from
o'clock to a quarter past. is cracked.
and It is feared that further use may
cause 1t to fall to piece. The curfew
has been temporarily discontinued In
consequence. The Rouvel dates from
the thirteenth century and is generally
called the "silver bell" In 1882
Charles vi ordered the confiscation Of
the bell because 1t had been used to
give the signal for a popular rising.
but a compromise was subsequently
arrived at, and the king accepted n
sum of money instead of the Rouvel.
It appears probable that the bell will
either be recast or preserved in the
local museum.
