Queen OF England,

Czarna of Russia and Duchess ol
Cumberland, occupied the same
room, scantily furnished, and instead
of wardrobe curtain drawn across
the wall hid the pegs on which theil

the day is coming, and it is not far
distant, when the rising demand for

those of the republican party who
have been resisting the popular
clamor in this direction will either
have to fall in line or organize a
