William IV.
Victoria Is tho granddaughter of Oeorgo

femalo line, of that James Stuart bo united
the crowns of England and Scotland. So
from all sides Kugllsb, Scotch and Oennan
tlio queen's family has been royal, ducal or
otherwise noblo for twonty-flvo generations,
near 000 years. When tho Saxons in Eng
land wore couquored by tho Normans tho line
of Alfred tho Great was united with the
royal line of Scotland; tho alliance was fur
ther cemented by tho marriage of a later
Scotch king n 1th tho daughter of ono of the
Norman kings of England, nnd still later,
Margaret, daughter of Henry VII of Eng
land, married James IV of Scotland. In tho
meantime all tho disputed claims to the
throno of England had been merged in ono
by tho marriagoof Henry VII (Heury Tudor)

York; go tho offspring of Henry's daughter
QUEEN VICTORIA.
nnd tho Scotch king stool next to tho English
lino in right of claim. Henry VIIl's son,
Edward VI, died In boyhood; his half sister,
Mary, though married, died childless, and
tho remaining sister, Elizabeth, never mar
ried. So on her death her father's line was
extinct, and the crown went to her cousin,
James VI of Scotland and James I of
England. He was a coward, a pedant,
a glutton nnd n voluptuary; but he was
the undoubted heir of Alfred tho Great, of
tho Plantagenets both York and Lancaster,
of Henry Tudor, and of William the Con
queror. Add that ho had more learning than
wisdom, and a vanity that would havo been
called childish it It had not been too disgust
ing, and ono may see how easily he camo to
look upon himself as "divinely appointed."
'His son Charles I was beheaded; his son
Charles II died wiUiout legitimate issue, and
the latter' brother, James II, was driven
away by tho revolution of 10S3, after which
it was enacted by parliament that nono but
Protestants should wear tho crown. So
Mary, daughter of James II, was set up,
with her husband "William III; but they
died childless. James' second daughter Anne
succeeded, but slid died childless, anil so tho
Protectant line of Chailes I was extinct, and
tho claim went back to James I, and to his
daughter Eliiabeth, who was married to the
Elector Folatino In Germany on Feb. 14,
1013. She had n daughter, Sophia, who had
married Ernest Augustus, sovereign of Han
over; so tho British parliament, anticipating
the death of Queen Anno without living
Issue, had enacted that tho crown right
should bo "in tho Trincess Sophia and the
heirs of her body, being Protestants." She
died before Anne, however, and her son be
camo king of England and elector of Han
over as George I. This brought in tho house
of Hanover and tho four Geoi ges, and finally
Victoria. In tho meantuuo tho Catholic side

religions and dynasties are once mora united
in Victoria.
George III was succeeded by his oldest son
Oeorgo IV, who died without legitimate issue
and was succeeded by William IV, third son
orueorgeni. Early on the 20th of June.
1S37, ho too died without legitimate issue; so
the right to the crown went next to the
fourth son, Edward, Duke of Kent, but as
that prince liad died soon after the birth of
his only daughter, Victoria, she succeeded to
his rights, there still remained the fifth son
of Oeorgo III, Ernest, Duko of Cumtier
land; and as the law ot Hanover did not
allow n woman to reign (that country had
become a kingdom), Ernest succeeded to tho
crown and took himself off, to the great do
light of Englishmen of all ranks, who de-
tasted him and were pleased with the tcnara
tion of tho kingdoms, Victoria was born at
Kensington iwluw, May 24, 1819, and was
therefore but IS years old when she liecame
queeu. Her mother had reared her In great
seclusion, and her education and training
wero excellent. Tho dignitaries who went
beforo daylight to announce to the princess
the death of her royal uncle relate that "to
prove that she did not keep them waiting she
came Into the room in a loose white nlght
eowii nnd shawl, her nicht cap thrown oft
and her hair falling upon her shoulders, her
feet In slippers, tears tn her eyes, but per
fectly collected and dignified." Ird Mel
bourne, the prime minister, set tho meeting
of tho privy council at 11 o'clock that day;
there the queen took the coronation on ui, ana
the cabinet tulnbters and other privy conn
ellors swore allegiance to her and expressed
themselves charmed by her gentlo dignity
and engaging manners.
The proclamation of the new sovereign and
her speech in jierson from the throno in the
house of lords followed soon after; but her
public coronation and tho brilliant pageantry

Tho queen was surrounded and supported
by nblo men. Tho Whigs, or Liberals, as now
called, were In icr. At tlio head of tho
cabinet, as prlmo minister, was Lord Mel
bourne, and his great opponents in tho houso
of commons w era tho eloquent Lord Brougham
nnd tho ticuto Ionl Lyndhurst. Other famous
men then in parliament wero Mr. Grate, tho
historian of Greece; Udwaid Lylton Uulnor,
afterward Lord Lytton; Lord John Unwell,
Lord Pnhnerston, Sir Uoliert Peel, Mr. Glad
stone, Mr. lloebuck nnd Lord Stanley, after

rest of his public life wns inlnful and for tho
most part unprofitable. Disraeli was Just

three very noted men entered parliament!
Richard CoIhIcii, tho ndvocate of ;enco and
free trade; John Bright, Ids co-worker, and
Thomas Bablngton Mncaulay, w hoso rather
brilliant jiarllanietitary career has liecn qulto

more nblo men in public life, with general
peaco In nil her dominions and tho enthusiastic

her reign with tho fairest of piwpects.
THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.
Tho lloynl Tamlly, ltesldeiices nnd Homo
I.I re.
On tho 10th of Jnnuary, 1840, her majesty
announced at tho 0ienlug of parliament that
sho would soon marry her cousin, Prtnco Al
bert n step, sho trusted, "conducive to tho
interests of my people as well as my own do
mestic happiness."
The marringo took placo Feb. 10, 1840. His
Royal nighness Francis Albert Augustus
Charles Emanuel, Duko of Saxony and
l'rlneo of Coburg nnd Gothn (such wero his
full titles), was born Aug. 20, 1810, and was
tberoforo thrco months younger than tho
queen. Theybocnmo lovers early, and ono
of tho ladies in waiting relates that tho queen
was sorely tried by tho royal etiquette, which
demanded that she should mako tho first sug
gestion of marriage. After tho Interview
sho reached her chamber In great ngltation,
and, being comforted by tho lady, remarked:
"I am indeed agitated, and with good cause
I havo just proposed to tho prince." Her
chosen husband was at onco naturalized by
act of parliament, given the title of prince
consort nnd nn annuity of 50,000 sterling
per year, and it was enacted that in case he

outlived tho queen he should be regent of tho
kingdom till the heir camo of age. Prince
Albert, though distrusted at first, 6oon won
the hearts of the English by his purity of
character and unaffected devotion to the
duties of his position. He devoted himself
to various reforms of a social nature, especi
ally the alwlitlon of dueling in tho army, and
was the active promoter of tho Crystal
palaco scheme of 1S51. Ho was tho friend of
peaco and liberty In all nations. Ho died,
after a very short illness, on tho 14th of
December, 1S01. The queen long remained
Inconsolablo for his death; her proti acted
seclusion cnuscd much murmuring anions her
subjects, and even now her romantic devo
tion to his memory and extreme partiality to
his personnl friends provoko criticism. Nine
children, of whom seven still live, were born
to the royal pair; all tlio nine married, and
several havo children, so tho queen has soven
living children, thirty-one grandchildren
and six great grandchildren. Tho queen's
oldest, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise, born
Nov. 21, 1840, is the wife of the crown prince
of Germany, nnd thus tho descendants of the
queeu still occupy the seat of power in that
empire. The next child, born Nov. 0, 1S41, is
the present Albert Edward, prince of Wales;
In 1SC3, March 10, he married tho Princess
Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Loulso
Julia, oldest daughter of tho king of Den
mark, by whom he has two sons and three
daughters, so tho succession to tho throno
would seem well secured.
, Alice Maud Mary, third child of tho queen,
bom April 25, 1843, married tho Grand Duke
of ITesse Darmstadt, and died Doc. 14, 1878.
Tho fourth child, Alfred Ernest Alliert, Duko
of Edluburgh, born Aug. 0, 1814, married the
Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, and Is rear
admiral of tho royal navy. Helena Augusta
Victoria, bom May 25, 1840, is tho wifo of
Prlnco Frederick of Schleswlg-nolsteln.
Louisa Caroline Alberta, bom March IS,
1819, was married March 21, 1S71, to Jolin,
Marquis of Lome, These two are well and
favorably known to Americans, as the mar
quis was somo time governor general of
Canada, nnd visited tho United States during
his term. Arthur William Patrick Albert,
Duko of Conuaught, was bom May 1, 1850,
and on March 13, 1879, married tho Princess
Loulso Margaret of Prussia. Leopold George
Duncan Albert, Duke of Albany, bom April
7, 1853, was married April 27, 1SS3, to Princess
Helene, of Waldeck Pyrmont, and died
March 23, 18S4. Tho queen's youngest child,
Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodorc, born April
14, 1857, was married July 23, 1SS5, to Prlnco
Henry of Batteuburg. Wo need not wonder
that the marriage portions and large annuities
asked by tho queen nnd granted by parlia
ment have often excited lively discussion,
both in the house ot commons and among the
people. The intermarriages of royal families
give rise to strange relationships In Euroiw;
and it is matter of note that tho longest wars
are wnged lietwern nations whoso monarch
are very near relatives. In (act all the
monarchs of Euroe to-day, except the sul
tan of Turkey, ai e blood relatives, every ono
of them descended on one side or the other
from John of Gaunt, son of Edward III of
England.
Tho queeu has told us much of the happy
life sho led with tho prince consort, especially
at Balmoral, their country seat In tho Scot
tish highlands. There nearly all the court
ceremonial was laid aside, and tho happy
couple enjoyed themselves llko a country gen
tleman and lady of tho middle class. It wasfar
otherwiso at tho regular British court, espec
ially at Windsor castlo, tho established royal
residence.
This noted structure is situated just east of
tho littlo city of Windsor, a place of some
13,000 Inhabitants, on a high ground above
tho right bank of the Thunes, twenty-three
miles from London. An Iron bridge across
the Thames connects Windsor w ith Etou, the
seat of learning; both places are very beauti
ful and well supplied with elegant homes.
The royal castlo and attached buildings cover
twelve acres of ground nnd stand In n tract of
alternate grove, grass plat, lake and garden,
called "little park," though it is four miles
In circumference; southward ft om this ex
tend tho noted Windsor avenues of old trees,
which connect with the "great pirk," eigh
teen miles In circumference, and west of that
again is the great Windsor forest, with a cir
cuit of fifty-six miles. Almost every rod of

all these it historio ground; for this was a
residence of the Saxon kings nearly 1,000
yean ago, and has rarely ceased to be a royal
botoi it kny tu.bjiea.uwt time. In those
giovc and shaded wnlkshavo tiern held many
conferences and ninny nrguments mado that
sottM tho falo of dynastic, nnd from tho gates
havo ridden many couriers bearing dis
patches (hat havo changed tho destiny ot
nations, Tho castlo projier was founded by
William tho Conqueror, but almost entirely
rebuilt by order of I'M wanl lit, tlio architect
lielng the noted William of Wykeham, and,
in l!jl-'8, tho odlflco was finally nnd com
pletely remodeled under direction of Sir
GoolTrcy Wyntvlllo. St. Oeorgo's chniel Is
notod for the beauty of Its Gothic, architect

royal personages, among them Henry VI,
Edward IV and his queen, Henry VIII and
Jnno Seymour, Chnrles I, two ot the Georges
and William IV, In tho round tower stato
prisoners were formerly confined, and tho
unfortunnto James I of Scotland was somo
tlmo n prisoner there. Unit a milo from
Windsor castlo Is tho small palaco of Frog
more, which wns tho resldenco of Queen
Charlotte, nnd of Quoon Victoria's mother,
tho Duchess of Kent.
Despite tho grandeur of Windsor nud Its
historic association with her most glorious
ancwitors, tlio queen's heart homo Is at Bal
moral, In the Scottish highland. So charm
ing wns llfo there to tho queen nnd prlnco
consort that sho has taken the world into her
confidence since tier husband's death by
writing u book on their llfo in tho highlands.
Tho prlnco leased the estate In 184$, nnd
bought It In lSr2. It is located lit tho parish
of Ornithic, Abenleenshlro, on tho right bank
of tho River Dee, and comprises an area of
100,000 acres, in which I n tract of 1,000
acres of nlniost prlnioval forest, nnd 30,000
acres of deer park, which Includes forest,
oiK-n glade, hill and valley. The nlr is cool
and Invigorating In the warmest season. Tho
Ren-n-lKurd, a picturesque mountain peak
uenr by, furnished Prince Albert hi favorlto
evening view; so the queen choso that as tho
sito of her memorial to tho prince, w hlch was
erected hi 1803.
At Balmoral sho has ulways been accom
panied by her daughter Princess Beatrico,
and tho marriage of tlio latter to Prince
Henry of Batteulicrg has lundo no difference
in this resiiect. His pleasant manner has
mado him a great favorite at the littlo court
and among tho Highlanders. There nro few
visitors to Balmoral. Tho Prlnco nnd Prin
cess of Wales often come, making their home
nt Abergeldlo, and nt times other memlicrs of
tho royal family or lm Iteil guests nre there.
Tho queen sicnds much of her tlmo In tho
open nlr, walking about tho grounds or in
tho grove with her favorlto collio dogs, or
seated on tho Ian n, reading, or driving about
the nelghboi hood, occasionally visiting tho
local gentry. Sho also visits tho homos of
tho cotters (wo might call them cottagers)
frequently, nnd thoy havo many token of
her kindness In tho form of tiooks, pictures
and photographs. She is often present at a
christening or a funeral. But with all these
graclou ways, her majesty is decidedly
"near," as tho peasantry sny a British form
of tho American slang "close" that Is, she
calculates the outgo of the sixpences more
than royal ladles usually do. Even at Bal
moral sho devotes much of her tlmo to study
ing the management of her estate nnd the
condition of her funds, as well as the affairs
of tho nation. A lady in waiting, two young
ladles as maids of honor, n cabinet minister,
an equerry, a doctor and a secretary mako up
tho entire suite, and the household service is
qulto limited.
It Is far otherwise at Windsor during the
season. There is n regiment of attendants of
all ranks, from duko to dustman and from
lady of the bedchamber to scullion. The total
Is about 1,000. At tho head of the household
forces Is tho lord steward, with n salary ot
10,000 a year, appointed by tho prime min
ister, and therefore n political odlcial. Ho is
commander in chief of orery omployo in tho
household, except tho ladles directly about
tho person of tho queen, the religious staff
and the stablo corps. He appears at court on
state occasions, and appoint all his subordi
nates. His lieutenant is tho master ot the

has a private secretary at a good salary.
Next conies the lord treasurer of tho house
hold, who pays tho bills and gets a salary of
1,000 a year. Theso thred constitute tho
board of green cloth, nnd sit as judges of all
offenses committed in the palace; uul to as
sist them and keep the record they havo one
secretary at 11,500 a year (as it would bo in
American money) and thrvo accounting clerks
at $1,000 each. Then there is tho elei k of the
kitchen at 12,500 a year, tho chef at the
same and his four assistant cooks at $1,750
each, tho chief confectioner at $1,500 and his
assistant at $1,200, tho chief butler at $2,500,
tho table decker at $1,000, and his assistants
at salaries somewhat less. There are also
yeomen of tho pantries, ladlea of the linen
room and a vast array of chambermaids,
lamp lighters, washers, etc The coal depart
ment alono employs thirteen persons.
Directly about her majesty's person
are the mistress of the robes, tho groom
of tho robes, the keeper of the pri
vate purse, or financial secretary to tho
queen, eight maids of honor, as many
bed chamber women and numerous maids
for other functions all these under control
of the lord chamberlain, who receives
$10,000 a year and is assisted by the groom
ot the stole. Next to the ladles who attend
directly on tho queen come tho gentlemen of
the private household, viz: Eight lords in
waiting, as many grooms In waiting and
divers gentlemen ushers of the privy chamber,
grooms of the privy chamber, grooms of tho
great chamber and pages of tho back stairs,
in short, life at the court even in the most
ordinary times Is carried on with such pon
derous social machinery and routine that
it alniont makes one tired to hear of it But
in addition to oil these, there are two distinct
set of olllciali for extraordinary occasions,
with independent functions and different
codes of ceremonial and etiquette.
At tho head of ono of these is tho marshal ot
the ceremonies. He manages the etiquette on
all state occasions and conducts foreign
ambassadors to the queen's presence. The
other is the court of tho marshalsea, which
has legal jurisdiction of 1 crimes nud mU
demeanors committal anywhere within tho
queen's private domnln. It Is a regular court
of justice, with the same general law as other
English courts, but w Ith far more ceremony
and vastly more expenso in proportion to the
work it does. The knight marshal, who
is tho same as sheriff or chief of police to this
court. Is a tolerably iniportaut wrsonag
with $2,500 a year, and has eight deputies,
besides n few sergeants and secretaries. Tho
foregoing gives but a nisro ontlino of the
6ytem. There nre departments of music,
amusement, niedlcino, charity and literature,
in all ot which liberal salaries are paid.
Tho guest invited to dlno with the queen
is expected to remain nt tho castle ovtr night.
Arriving late In thouftemoon he is conducted
at onco to Ids apartment, whore he receives a
call from the master of the household, now
Sir J, C. Cowell, and if be desires, can liave
tea and lunch at once. Full court dreis Is
required for the dinner; and at 8 o'clock tho
guests are conducted to tho great gallery, as
it is called a private picture gallery, never
ojieiusl to the public even when they are
allowed to visit the castle. At S:S0 the queen
and Princess Beutrico enter, salute the guests
and lend the way to tho dining room, which,
If the company is small, is a comparatively
cozy little room, with a broad window o;eii
lngupoiithoceutralonurtof thepalaoe. Sir J.
O. Cowell arrange the giKsts and prvsidui at
the table. Conversation U not in order,
though tho queen often chats with her
daughter. The tluw for eating Is short, then
the queeu and tho ladles retire and a few mln
utos after the master of tho household gives
the slgual for tho gentlemen to leave, and
thereafter thoy can do very much as they
pWse, as they will meet tlw quuen no more.
They can smoke or play billiards or whist in
the rooms for those purposes; they
can listen to musio In the drawing room, or
read in the library, or yawn and stretch
themselves in their own apartments, as, no
douU, many of them feel like dolug. They
can retire when they please mid have break,
fast in their own rooms, or In the gentle
men's hall down stain,, as they like, but they
nre exectl to leave as early as 11 next day.
Meanwhile the queen has spent the evening
In her private room, has retired early, risen
and breakfasted early, and taken her mom
tcgdrlre before noon.
EPITOME OF THE REIGN,
Growth of the Umpire nnd Improvement
nf the People,
Her majesty's nccesslon was rotemporary
with n rebellion in Canada. In tho eastern
province, now Quebec, it Iiegan with tho com
plaints of tho French that tlmy did not enjoy
equal rights with tho English; there was
much trouble, two or three sharp flghti and
somo bloodshed. In tho western province,
now Ontario, thero was a deninnd for iopular
election of n parliament, with full control of
tho finances, nnd equality among churches in
receipt of government, funds; but thero a
large majority wns loyal, and tho rebellion
was treated with contempt by tho governor,
Blr Francis Head. Nevertheless thero were
dangerous complications with tho United
States, owing to tlio acts of American sym
pathizers with tho Insurgent and the de
itruction of tho American steamer Carollfle,
which tho loyal Canadians set loosa in tho
Niagara and let her run over tho Fall. But
all Ihoso matters wero amicably adjusted,
tho Canadians obtained n very llfccrnl
system of government nnd In 1813 tho last
difficulty was removed by tho Welister-Ash-burton
treaty defining tho exact boundary.
Canada has slnco mado such rapid progress
that all tho colonies, from Prince Edward
Island to British Columbia, nro now united In
a confederation, and a new nation of 5,000,000
people and nearly 3,000,000 square miles lior
ders tho United States on tho north. Tho
government I a happy combination of tho
British and American systems, each prov
ince self governing in local affairs nnd tho
Ottawa paillnmcnt over all. Tho Slnrquls of
Lnnsdowno Is now governor general and Sir
John Macslonald is head of the government lis
premier nnd leader of tho Tory majority in
the houso of common. Tho Chartists licit
began an ngltation for universal manhood
suffrage, parliaments elected yenrly, vote by
ballot, no property qualification for tho right
and duties of citizenship, payment of a salary
to members of pnrllament and tho division of
tho United Kingdom Into parliamentary dis
tricts according to population.
Fanatics and impostors multiplied. Ono
Thorn proclaimed himself the new Messiah
and had thousands of followers, chiefly in
Kent. Thorn shot dead a policeman who
sought to arrest him. Soldiers camo and the
mob attacked them; thoy fired ono volloy
and sti etched Thorn and many of his adhe
rents dead. A wild orator named Feargu
O'Coinier Inflamed tho people to madnoss.
Formidable riots occurred at Bovornl places.
Very many Chartists wero prosecuted and im
prisoned by tho government. Tho European
revolutions of 1848 blew tho Chartist excite
ment to a forer heat; and a monster mass
meeting was called for April 10, 1848, on
Kensington common. A hundred thousand
laborers were to assemble nnd inarch w ith a
petition to tho houso of commons. Tho gov
ernment forbndo tho meeting; but all London
was In a panic. J'ho Duko of Wellington
posted soldiers to protect tho public buildings,
and many thousand special constables and
policemen wero sworn in. Among those
who volunteered as policemen was Prince
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, then an exile in
England and soon after to bo emperor of tho
French. At the last nilnutu tho Chartists
yielded, and thereafter their power seemed
to vanish all ot onco. Tlio best of the meas
ures they asked for havo slnco become laws In
England.
Tho Chartist riots, the agitation for tho re
peal of tho corn laws and the general move
ment to improve tho condition of laborers
appear to havo unsettled nyuiy minds; and,
os generally happens fu such rases, a spirit of
assassinntion was excited. Juno 10, 1S40,
Edwnrd Oxford, n boy of 17, fired twice nt
the queen as she was out driving with her
husband; tho jury pronounced him insane
and ho ended his llfo tu an asylum. Another
attempt on tho queen's life was made May
SO, 1843. This was by John Francis, a young
machlnest, and on the very spot whore Ox
ford's attempt was made, IIo fired twoshots,
at but a few feet distant; but it was set up
on bis trial that the pistol was loaded only
with wads. Ho was found guilty of high
treason and sentenced to death, but the queen
commuted it to imprisonment for lite; aud on
the very day ufter tho commutation was pub
lished a hunchback named Bean aimed a
pistol at her majesty, but was seized and dis
armed by a boy standing uenr. The pistol
was loaded only with pajwr and fragments of
a clay pipe; so Bean escaped with the very
trifling penalty of eighteen months' Imprison
ment. On May 10, 110, nn Irish bricklayer
discharged a pistol, loaded only with jiowder,
nt tho queen, for which ho was trmisiorted
for soven years. On May 27, 1850, Robert
Pate, w ho had boon discharged from the po
sition of lieutenant in tho Hussars, struck tlio
queen across tho faco with a cane as sho was
entering her carriage; ho also received
sentence to seven years' transportation. And
finally, on Feb. 29, 1S7B, a 17-year-oid boy,
Arthur O'Connor, niined a pistol at the
queen; but It proved to be unloaded and to
have n defective lock. IIo received twelve
months' imprisonment nnd a public whip
ping; and there wero no more attempts nt as
sassination or intimidation.
By the factories act of 1814 children of ten
der years were excluded from tho mills, nnd
the hours of such as were ndmltUsI limited to
soven or ten ;ier day, according to age. By
another net it was absolutely forbidden to
employ women or girls in tho mines and col
lieries. Following this camo tlio long and
heated agitation for free importation of food.
By the corn laws of 1815 all foreign grain was
tariffed at n rate which practically forbade
its importation, except when scarcity raised
tho homo prico nhnost to the famhio line.
Tho Irish famine compelled parliament to
tako action, and though Sir Robert Peel had
taken the post of prime minister as a Con
servative, ho went over to the Radicals on
this point, and in June, 1S40, tho com laws
wero absolutely repealed. This was followed
rapidly by removal of taxes from other arti
cles of food, nnd consequently by a vast in
creaso in import and consumption, and since
1850 Great Britain lias been poluUxl at as tho
one great free trade nation in tho world.
The Irish famine which forced the action
ot Peel aud his colleagues began in the
autumn of 1845 with a peculiar blight upon
the potato tlio standard food of the poor.
In 1840 not only did the plant wither under
the blight, but the potatoes rotted even in1 the
cellars and pits after being dug, when ap
parently sound; and tho long reign of misery

began. The lowoot estimate puts the num
ber who died at 200,000 not of actual famine
so much as ot tho fever which followed It
After this came he "famine clearances," as
they wero called, by which tennnts ho couM
not pay their rent were assisted to emigrate;
and iu less than five, years Ireland lost 2,000,
000 of her population. In one season 200,000
Irish landed at New York; and of the first
100,000 who left their native Island It Is esti
mated that 19,000 died on the ocean or soon
after landing, A wail of rage and anguish
went over tho island, nnd famine was fol
lowed close by conspiracy and rebellion.
Tho uprising was suddenly put down, thon
followed raids, nrrests and state trials, end
ing in tho transportation of many men like
John Mitchell, Thomas Francis Mtsgber and
William Smith O'Brien. But nn era of
milder government hail set in, and these men
escaped or wero pardoned.
Iu 1810 began the war with China, com
monly called tho "Opium War," which Eng
lish moralists severely condemn, and, indeed,
the nation only becamo Involved In It through
being misled by her representatives In the
east. The result was that China paid Indem
nity of 4,500,000 sterling to England, ceded
tho island of Hong Koug and opened five
porU to British trade. During the same year
England joined with Russia, Austria and
Prussia in a guarantee to maintain the integ.
rity of Turkey, and pursuant to this treaty
these powers put down a rebellion Iu Egypt,
In January", 1S43, the British suffered a
frightful humiliation iu Afghanistan, their
entire army of 4,500, with 12,000 camp fol.
lowers, being destroyed by an upvislugof the
vople. Tho next year they i cconquered tlio
couutry. In isll there was a bloody war in
India with tho Sikhs. Iu 1810 Lord John
Russtll succeeded Sir Robert IVel as prime
minister and adopted niauy lilieml measures.
Iu l!-50 fierce leliglous controversy jirevallud
In the Mngdom, but tho result was to ubolUh
the few (tumbling distinction, in 1861 the
noted Crystal Palaco was oincd, anil in
the five and a half mouths ot the season was
visited by over 7,000,000 people. InlS53the
Earl of Derby, Conservative, succeeded lord
Johu Russell, and a fierce, short war w Ith Ilu
mah took place, in consequence of some Brit
ish trade having been cruelly treated there.
The British captured the keaports, and early
In l!5o tho king sought iaeo nud ceded the

noted ClUucan war began. England and

nnd tho tedious siege of Sebnstopol began.
The battles Of Balaklavn nnd lnkermann and

tho British troops nnd tho goncrnl inefllcloncy
of tho commissary departmentshoHed thnttho
slnows of British war administration had liccn
relaxed by tho long caco slnco Waterloo
called peaco because they had no w nrs with
other than half civilized jiooples. In this war
Florcnco Nightingale liegnn tho system of
nurso nnd sanitary organization which is
such n pleasing fcatuco of recent wars, l'enco
wns mado by tho treaty of Paris March 30,
1850; but all the settlements mado In it havo
been unsettled by subsequent event.
Iu 1S57 the Bejioys, native troops in tho
British service, rebelled In India nnd massa
cred tunny hundred English, Including women
nnd children. Thoy w ei o subdued and pun
ished with extreme severity. In 1S.V1 begnn
another war with China; tho French nnd
British fleets liombardod Canton; tho Chinese
mado trado concessions to both nations, and
havo slnco maintained ministers at tho court.
of other countries. In 1858 Japan granted
the rights of trade in her liort to Great
Britain, and after that to other na
tions. In 1801 the American civil
war began, and the failure of the cotton sup
ply brought misery to nearly n million Brit
ish laborers; but after tho terrible winter of
18G3-M partial supplies came from Inilla nnd
clsewhero. Tho British authorities alloweu
vessels to bo built in their ports for tho south
cm Confederacy, which became privateers,
destroying Atnericnn merchant vessels. For
eight years the two notions were hostile in
feeling, but in 1871 tho matters wero ar
ranged by treaty, and n court of arbitration
at Geneva, early In 1872, decided thnt Eng.
land should pay tho United States $15,000,000
damages. Tho dispute about tho island of
San Juan, tu tho channel Iwtween Vancou
ver's island and Oregon, was referred to tho
Emperor of Germany, who decided that it
belonged to the United State, whereupon
the British evacuated it. In tho early part of
1801 tho queen's mother, tho Duchess of Kent,
died, nnd on Dec, 10 that year she lost hor
husband.
Tlio American war was soon followed by
Uio Fon Ian troubles In Ireland, largoly ex
cited by Irish-Americans, veterans of our
war, and theso continue! nt short Intervals
for several years. In 1870 tho Protestant
church establishment in Ireland was
abolished, chiefly by the exertions of Mr.
Gladstone, and since Jan. 1, 1S71, the tithes
for that church havo not been collected. Iu
1870-1, nlso, tho elementary education acts
were put in forco in England and Wales, by
which parents nro compelled to school their
children between G nnd 13 years of ago. In
1872 voting by ballot wns established. In
1874 Mr. Gladstone aud tho Whigs went out of
pow er and Mr.DIsraeli became prime minister,
with a Tory or Conservative government,
and soon after began tho boated stfuggle over
Irish affairs, which is just now in its most ex
citing stage. Meanwhile, in 1SGS, had oo
curred tho war with Abyssinia, iu which Sir
Robert Napier, with 10,000 men, captured j
. V o .HI'IHII, wju iiifc; lUlilllllUUlg
suicide. And now England beenmo still fur
ther complicated with the affairs of Egypt
and tho east. On May 1, 1870, at tho in
stance of tho premier, Queen Victoria was
proclaimed empress of India, and on Aug. 13
Mr. Disraeli was raised to the peerage for his
services, becoming Lord Beaconsflcld. Sir
Stafford Nor then to succeeded him as leader
of tho houso of commons.
All this tlmo tho "eastern question," so
called, continued to ngltnte Europe and em
barrass tho rulers of England; Lord Salis
bury and Sir Heury Elliot represented Eng
land at a conference held with other gi cat
pow era at Constantinople, but nothing was
settled. In 1675-0 thero was war lietwccn
Turkey and some of her rebellious ChiMInu
subjects, led by Servhi, and on April 34, 1577,
Russia once more declared war against
Turkoy. After somo preliminary defeats tho
Russians swept all before them, and thuir
armies were almost within right of Constau
tiuoplo when England interposed. Bismarck
invited tho great iwers to a conference,
which met nt Berlin, Lord Beaconsflcld 10
presonting England, nnd adopted tho treaty
of Berlin June 13, 1878.
By this treaty tho Christian subjects of the
sultan wero secured a degree of self govern
ment; but other troubles have follow ed, as
theso diverse Christlnn races agree in noth
ing but dread nnd hatred of tho Turks. The
Slav nnd tho Greek, tho Serb nnd tho Bul
garian, the Roumanian nnd Montenegrnn
distrust and despise each other, while nil of
thoni persecute the Israelite. So the in
trigues of Ruvla nnd tho uneasiness of Eng
land continue, nnd the year lhS7 brings us
renewed uncertainty on the eastern ques
tion, tho morning npcr confidently predict
ing wnr when the evening jiaiier had given
cheerful assurance of peace. In 1S?J occurn d
the Zulu war, in South Africa, mado notable
by the death of the Prince Imperial, only, son
ot Najioleoii III and Eugenie, who volunteered
in a quarrel not bis own, and died in tho
desert by the spoar of a barbarian. His
father, cantured by the Prussians in 18T0,
died in exile at Chisclhurst, Eugland, In Janu
ary, 1873; and Eugenie, for twenty years em
press and leader of fashion for tho civilized
world, is now passing an old age in obscurity,
a childless widow.
In Ireland, nlso, thero Is renewed trouble.
The tenants have formed n leaguo and com
bined to fight for lower rents, and after
assuming protean phases, the contest is just
now threatening to become civil war. The
Tories now in power in the British parliament
propose a system of severe coercion, w hich is
resisted by Gladstone and tho Liberals; and
tho contest is shaking tho kuigdoui. In all
other parts tho empire is at peace, and the
rivival of trade gives promise of general con
tent for this year of jubilee.
