VICTORIA, QUEEN
Queen Victoria, born In 1S19, Is, says
the Sun, by no .means tho oldest of living
monarchs or potentates. The King of
Denmark, Christian IV., Is one year old
er; there aro three German Bovurelgns
older than Queen Victoria, and Pope Leo
XI II. was li years old when Queen Vic
toria was born. Hut In respect of the
duration of her reign, Queen Victoria
Is the oldest living of sovereigns, for she
ascended the throne of Great Britain in
15.37, and on June 'JD next will complete
tho sixtieth year of her reign. The next
oldest of the sovereigns of the world Is
Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary, who
ascended the throne in Vienna In 1S4S.
Sixty years' reign for one monarch is
an unusiiul thing, even in England where
revolutions have been rare and wheie
the present royal family is or great lon
gevity. George I, reigned twelve years;
George II. , thirty-three years; George
III., fifty-nine years nnd three months;
George IV,, ten years; William IV., sev
en years. Edward III. reigned fifty years;
Henry VIII., thirty-eight years; Mary,
live years, and fillzn.beth, forty-four
years. In honor of the queen's sixty
years' reign many patriotic Englishmen
are already preparing celebrations and
festivities designed to show the Increase
of England's Inlluonro and her progress
in commerce nnd the mechanical arts
since ISU7. Great preparations have been
made for the International electrical and
engineering exhibition at Novvcnstle-on-Tyne.
The progress and development In
pleasant annual social affairs Is tho
carnival of the Llederkranz. It was
held Tuesday evening at Music hall,
which was literally packed with the
best known Teutons of the city and
their friends. The Kleine Rath or ar
rangement committee consisted of
Frank Hummler, Charles Xier, Fred
Hummler, Fred J. Widmayer, Charles
Wagner, Philip Wagner, Frank Leut
ner, Isadore Roos. William Wachter,
Joseph Brunner, Charles Wenzel and
Herman Landau. The medium of en
tertainment was grotesque, wlerd, fast
nnd funny all combined. Six tables
had been placed In the large auditorium
hall and around those sat the merry
party. Tho Schlaroflla, Soengerrunde,
Arion Gruttle Verein and Turners of
tliis city and the Liederkranz of Hones
dale were present. The stage was es
pecially arranged for the occasion.

castle is well chosen for this purpose,
because not only is it a great center of
manufacturing industry, but It Is repre
sentative of many of those Interests
which have grown most notably since
1837. Beginning In Apt 11, a similar exhi
bition will be held ut Blackpool. This
exhibition will be less representative of
tho mechanical advance In England than
of the growth of the country In other dl
lectlonp. Since 1S37 tho Increase In the population
of England, Including Wales, has been
from 15,000,000 to iO.OOO.fXW. The popula

now 4,000.000; but Ireland, which had at
that time a population of 8,uu0,0W. has
now only -I.TW.OOO. From 1337 to 1897 the
population of London has increased from
3,700,01X1 to 5,000,000. Liverpool has grown
from 200,000 to 000,000; Manchester, from
20,000 to 405,000, and Newcastle, where
the first of the celebrations is to bo held,
from 0S.000 to 190,000, The commerce of
England has Increased in even greater

lias more than doubled during the sixty

great cities, Is less now than it was sixty
years ago, and the falling off Is so great
as to offset even the Increase in some of
the large cities.

ONI-' KIM) WORD.
From the Washington Post,
Through all Ms long service as the
chief executive of the nation Mr. Cleve
land has held steadfastly and lmpertur
bably to bis convictions of tight. He lias
yielded not the. fraction of an inch in any
position he has assumed. His opinions
have never been the opinions of the last
one who talked to him. He has been
no weakling to be swayed and turned and
faced about by otheis. Without faltering
or hesitation, submitting to no pressure
from any source and accepting dictation
at noinan's hands, he lias done the thing
that commended Itself to his sober Judg
ment and his prayerful conscience. Ac
cording to his lights, he has upheld the
credit of the nation; in tho way that
seemed to him best, he has maintained Its
dignity and honor; in perfect sincerity of
purpose and Inspiration he has endeav
ored to keep, the great republic In the
true pathway of civilization and enlight
ened humanity. He has presented the
spectacle of a courageous and determined
ruler, profoundly conscious of the great
responsibility resting upon him, and hon
estly and bravely striving to discharge It
In good faith and overflowing measure.
We believe that Mr. Cleveland retire
to private life with the respect, the good
will, the conlldence, and tho gratitude or
the masses of the American people with
out regard to party feeling. Wo believe
that history, as made In the calmness or
unbiased and dispassionate retrospect, and
In the light of accomplished demonstra
tion, will do Mr. Cleveland perfect and
abiding justice.
A IlKCOl.LF.CTIOX.
It was Indeed a perfect day,
I scarce recall the weather;
But autumn calm and bloom of May
Seemed mingled there together.
Then melody made sweet the hours;
Each sentence was a ballad.
Tho rocks were Jewels; weeds were
flowers,
When Mary dressed tho salad.
No vernal sceno whoso blandishment
Will welcome)' beset us,
Can have tho fascination lent
By that small sprig of lettuce.
And vainly must musicians toll
From stage or festal wagon,
For tones like those with which the oil
Camo loitering from tho flagon.
Strango how these merchant-chemists
mar
Each once-alluring savor!
How tasteless Is tho vinegar)
How dull the pepper's flavor!
Oftlmes .when sterner moods are
planned '
Thoso memories come pressing:
That salad day; tho sunshine and
Tho girl who made the dressing.

tho problem of success or failure the
Idea of one pastor to the both churches
wus suggested, One attempt was made
to select a minister, but nt one church
there was 19 members and at the other
there wore 11 members assembled to
vote on the candidates. Last Sunday

How these things of strange creation
Linked with lightning leap and gleam;
How this hurrying generation
Beats the panting age of steam!
With the pace that we are sotting
'Tisn't often that we Ibid
Any leisure for regretting
Pleasures that au left behind.
But, like perfume from a letter
Laid away In olden days,
Comes a thought that llfo was hotter
Ere we found our present ways.
They were joys We should have cher

Cream whose rlchnoss had not perished;
Butter that had known the churn.
Turn, ye engines and devices;

Where no avarice entices
Men to name things which aro not!
Where a maple syrup trusty
Has a history sum one knows;
Where you see the miller dusty;
Where the buckwheat really grows!
