The crucifix with which Queen Vic toria’s name is associated has its place in the convent of the Grande Chartreuse. This may seem strange to the uninitiated, but it is true. It is a beautiful silver crucifix and has its place among the con vent’s treasures. It was given by the queen to a humble Carthusian monk of English nationality when her majesty visited the Grande Chartreuse some years ago. She conversed with this monk in his cell, the conversation turning upon serious matters. The royal visit at an end, the monk saluted his sovereign, and the» queen of England left the cell. Shortly afterward , the general of the Carthusians called to him, the religious in question and handed him a beautiful silver crucifix. It was Queen Victoria’s gift to the English monk in remembrance of her visit to his cell. “Our rule forbids tw to possess such things,” said the superior, “but keep this beautiful crucifix by you fora time at any rate.” The monk withdrew and returned al most immediately, handing his superior the crucifix with a piece of paper having the following words written upon it, “Regina dedir, regula abstulit, sit nomen Domini benedictuni” ("The queen gave it, the rule withdraws it. n ay the name j of the Lord be i raised”). —Catholic Tinies. Blaine'a Tombstone. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says: ‘'Although against the expressed wishes of James G. Blaine, his last resting place in Oak Hill cemetery has been marked by a simple marble shaft. “In 1890. when Walker Blaine died, the magnetic statesman from Maine went to this cemetery with a friend to select a site for the burial, and in the center of the lot chosen the Plumed Knight noticed a gnarled and twisted hickory tree, which was blasted and dead. As Blaine looked at the tree he remarked to hi? friend that it aptly represented his blasted and disap pointed life and requested that nothing should mark his grave but the dead tree. His wishes in the matter were respected, and for several years it was the only mark by which the last resting* place of the great statesman could be distinguished. “A few months ago the tree was blown down during a cyclone, and Mrs. Blaine decided to have the grave suitably marked and selected a monumenj exactly like the one over Walker Blaine’s tomb. It is a marble shaft about eight feet- high, with out any inscription except the name of Mr. Blaine and the date of his birth and death.” Bears the Kind You Have Aiwavs Signa :ure j Dressed chickens and fine Georgia and estern meats for the holiday trade at W.
