VICTORIA.
▲ Short Sketch of Her Life and
Reign.
The morning light of May 34, 1819. shone
Into the eyes of the newly bom Pnn-ei.
Victoria in the dingy old Palace of Kensing
ton. Tlie wildest fancy could hardly have
g eie so far as to jiredict tliat in eighten
years and a few weeks finm that day this
little baby, about whom no one made any
fat-, should be called upon to rule over the
English nation, nor tliat fifty years still
further one of the grandest nations und'-r
the sun should unite in celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of a woman’s
reign. Home such wild imagin
ings may have held secret sway in the
mother's heart, as they might be apt to do
in the heart of any mother in whose veins
ran royal blood, and her father, the Duke of
Kent, in. ail probability also had his fancy
tirerl on the subject. At any rate, however
that may be, just Is-fore the interesting
•vent in liis family was to take pla<c, tins

moagy enough to return to England in order
that his child might be born a Briton.
THE V AMILY HISTORY.
Victoria is the granddaughter of George
111., and the eighth in dews-nt, through the
female line, of that James Htuart who
United the crowns of England and Scot
land. Ho from all sides—English. Hootch
and German—the Queen's family has leen
royal, ducal or otherwise noble for twenty
five generations, near MUG years. When tfie
naxonx in England were conquered by the
normal is tie- line of Alfred the Great
was united with the royal line of

cemented the marriage of a Inter

S/phia, who had married Ernest
Augustus, sovereign of Hanover: so
the British Parliament, anticipating
the death of Queen Anne without living
issue, had enacted that the crown right
should be “in the Prince-#, .Sophia and the
heir- of her liody, being Protestants." She
died before Anne, however, and her son be
came King of England and elector of Han
over as George I. This brought in the house
of Hanover ami the four Georges, and
finally Victoria. In the meantime the
Catholic side of the old Stuart line, namely,
the descendants of James II through his
Catholic sons, had become extinct, so all
claims of all race*?, religions and dynasties
are once more united in Victoria.
George 111. was succeeded by his oldest
son, George IV., who died without legiti
mate issue and was succeeded hv Wiluam
IV. third son of George 111. Early on June
20, 1837. he too died without legitimate
issue: so the right to the crown went next
to the fourth son. Edward. Duke of Kent,
hut as that prince had died soon after the
birth of his only daughter, Victoria, sbe
succeeded to his lights. There still remained
the fifth son of George IIL, Ernest. Duke of
Cumberland; and the law of Hanover did
not allow a woman to reign (that
country had become a king
dom), Ernest succeeded to the
crown an i took himself off. to the great de
l ghtof Englishmen of all ranks, who de
tested him and were pleased with the sepa
ration of the kingdoms. Victoria was liom

old when fhe became Queen. Her mother
had n-ared her in great seclusion, and her
education and training were excellent.
victoria’s succession announced.
The dijuitari*** who went before daylight
to announce to the Princess the death of her
loyal relate that “to prove that she
did not keep them waiting she came into
the room in a loose white night-gown and
shawl, her night cap thrown off and ter
hair fail n ; upon her shoulders, her
t-et in slipi-rs, tears in her eyes, but per
fectly collected and dignified.’' Lord Mel
bourne. the Prime Min sjer. set the meeting
of the Privy Council at 11 o'clock that dav;
there the Queeu took the coronation oath,
and the Cabinet Minister* and other Privy
Councilors swondhllegiuiH-i to her and ex
prtOKsl themselves charmed by her gentle
dignity and engaging manners.
The* proclamation of the new sovereign,
and her speech in person from the throne in
the House of Irds, lollowod soon after;
but bar public coronation and the brilliant
pog-autry conn** -ted therewith took place
the next year—Juni 3d, INl\ While many
person* or royal blood and many noblemen
from various ports of Europe appeared in
the procession, public interest centered on
Marshal Boult, Duke of Dalmatia,
Napoleon's strong supporter, commander
of the Old Guard at Lutzen and opponent
of Wellington in Bpiin. He had
been sent By I/juis Philippe, King of
tlie French, is ambassador extraordinary
for this occasion, and was received by all
tanks of the people with the wildest entfm..
asm. Another ooiispicOOU* figure was til-
Austrian Ambassador, Prince Esterbaz,',
wboso ilres# was literally ablaze with di. -
moil l“. Indeed, “the Estr-rhazy fliamonds - ’
became a synonym for grandeur. The re
ception of Boult' with other act* of the
young Queen, indicated that an era of
liberal ideal had set in. and the effect was
heightened by the fact that soon after she
conferred the honor of knighthood on Sir
Moses Monteflore, the first Jew to b*- elected
.Sheriff of London and the first to receive
honors from a monarch since tie- beginning
of the religious wais. Complete emanci|>a
tion of Jews and Catholics, and many minor
measures of liberty followed in due course.
THE YOU SO QUEEN'S COUNCILLORS.
The Queen was surrounded and supported
by able men. The Whigs, or Liberals, as
now tailed, were in power. At the head of
ti c cabinet. US prime minister, was I/>rd
Melbourne, and his great opponents in the
House of Commons were the eloquent I/ird
Brougham and the acute Lord Lyndhnrst.
Other famous men then in Parliament were
Mr. Orotc. the historian of Greece; Edward
Lvtton Bulwer, afterward Lord Lytton;
Lord John Bussell. Lord Palmerston, Hir
Robert Peel, Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Roebuck
and Ixtrd Stanley, afterwanl lord Derby.
Daniel O'Connell still remained, btr
great work was done, and the rest of hi*
public life was painful and for the most
part unprofitable. Disraeli was just
‘•eginning to be known, imt universally

tenburg* We need net wonder" that the
marriage portions and large annuities
asked by the Queen and granted by Parlia
ment have often excited lively discussion,
both in the House of Commons and among
the peopff. The intermarriage of royal
families give rise to strange relationships in
Europe: and it is matter of Dote that’ the
longest wars are waged between nations
whose monarch* are very near relatives. In
fact all the monarch* of’Europe to-dav. Vx

he was out there resting. He was as level

He asked after his children, who are now
grown up and married, living in Western

had somehow got out through a mistake,

it he made up his mind to keep up the joke.
He often th' >ught that he would come home

A QUEER USE OF CORSETS.
The Way Lead Stays Were Put on
Sphinxes to Please a Prude.
From the Chicago Tribune.
About two years ago the two bronze
sphinxes which guard one of the entrances
to Lincoln Park were the subject of a warm
controversy. These huge statues bear, as
a* everyone knows, the paws of a lion and
the head and bottom of a woman. Some
prim ltody living opposite the park took
objection to these firmly modeled bronze
1 •easts, and incited her friend* and neigh
iiors with the indignation which she felt.
Commissioner McNaliy, being a gallant
soul, and desirous to please these modest
women, had the bronze nfeml ere shielded

”1 wasn't prepared for it. because I am
sure daring the war no one hit them harder
than I did. I toot three batteries from
them, and at no time were they giving bar
tone* away. Besides. I used to" follow them,
and it was just mv lack to drop around
with my command about the tune they
wrre having things easv. No. sir' I never
spared the men: only the women, the chil
dren aivi the houses. I never slept in a
home, nor did 1 permit any of my men to
do so. So y- si see when th ee Southerners
went wiii over my appearance it rather
took me off my pegs.
"Weil. I talked to them, and after awhile
I gave :...m my opinions of the origin and
results of the war. , I said, remembering
that the organized aggregate of humanity
called society—the parent of government —
derives its character from the’ character of
the labor that support* it; the North and
S-.uki were entirely sustained by entirely
different forms of labor, and that :he differ
ent social conditions which resulted were
originally united by the ties of helpfulness
and mutai dependence in resisting the op
pressive exactions of the mother country
and achieved the independence of the re
public and tried to perpetuate the iftates by
adopting the constitution.
“Men of both social conditions strove long
to maintain the Union in spite of national
and irresistible diversities which sprang
from social, political and commercial antag
onism between these social conditions, which
no government devised could repress. The
eighth generation of Americans could no
longer harmonize, and resorted to arbitra
ment of arms. The strength of Southern
soeietv was measured by 1,000,000 of men
and #5.000,000,000.
"Incidentally and necessarily the charac
ter of human labor became homogeneous
throughout the land. Political parties had
no more to do with the cause cf the war
train tile church militant has to do with
earthquakes. The costly lesaon that we
learned was that labor wa the lever that
moves the world of human life, and in a re
public it must be free. It is unregulated
whenever any portion of its wages are ex
pended on fictitious values.”
“What were the main incidents of your
stay in Dixie Land?”
“During my stay I was dined and wined
and lionized generally. It so happened that
a number of coincidences occurred in the
shape of anniversaries of war events with
which I was prominently connected while
there, and to this was due considerable of
the enthusiasm.”
“How did things strike you from a com
mercial standpoint f’
“The evidences throughout Virginia, both
in the country and towns, show great ac
tivity and prosperity. Proprietors and
planters are getting labor cbeaper than they
did before the war, when they had it for
nothing, and while they are steadily ac
quiring wealth, enlarging enterprises and
cultivating acres the negroes are establish
ing homes and paving for them.
“The labor question of this country is
now the only important one engaging the
attention of earnest politicians and states
men. Let the useful arts of the country sur
vive and let irritating reminiscences be for
gotten.” ■
DR. CARVER INJURED.
The Famous Crack Shot Seriously Hurt
at Ridg-way Park.
From the Philadelphia Piess.
Dr. Carver, the famous crack shot, met
with a serious and painful accident to his
eyes last night by a bursting cartridge while
giving an exhibition of his fancy shot at
Ridgway Park. The exact outcome of the
injury cannot now be determined, but it is
feared that the marksman will lose the sight
of one, if not both, of his optics. The in
jury was the result of an accident for which
no one can be directly blamed. The in
iured man was immediately taken to Wills'
Ive Hospital, on above Eighteenth,
where he received treatment from Dr. Con
rad Borens, of 192-5 Vine street, who has
temporarily taken the place of the regular
physician.
AN OVERLOADED CARTRIDGE.
The accident occurred about 9:80 o’clock,
and was witnessed by a large crowd. Dr.
Carver himself had overloaded the cartridge.
He prepares all his own ammunition. During
the afternoon he was engaged in loading the
cartridges which were known as “No. 12."
To shoot under the electric light is very
difficult, and requires particular calcula
tions as to the amount of powder used. Dr.
Carver himself prepared tne cartridges, and
says that the one which exploded must have
been overcharged.
The exhibition of his shooting began at
about 9:30 o'clock and was a? glass balls.
He had only shot a few times when the ac
cident occurred. When the cartridg- ex
ploded the gun dropped from the I lector's
grasp, and, with a cry of pain, he staggered
nhnut. holding his hands to Ills eves. The
spectators crowded around the injured man
to learn how badly he was hurt. It was at
fir.-t supposed that the gun had exploded,
and that a piece of the metal had caused a
fatal wound ip the head. Fortunately such
was not so. Although sufferin'; from much
lin, the doctor declared he would lie all
right in a few days.
A reporter saw the wounded man just
after the ojieration hail becu performed on
his eye* at the hospital. He declared that
lie with both eyes, but was in
stantly iWP'Jisl by Dr. Bern is, as t he excite
ment "oMßlking alut the accident would
he.p to#ylard a speedy recovery. Around
Ins hJf and over his eyes was secured a
blacMSlandage, excluding all light. He
stuiMKr'wmj feeling easier, but tnere was
pain He aiid the accident
wJßjff suclra character that it would not
proliably happen again in a thousand years.
Dr. Berens -aid that he could not then teil
just what effect the injury would have.
“There is no doubt,” said the doctor, “that
Carver fortunately cloned his eyes with the
tlnsh of the explosion, thereby preventing
what otherwise would surely nave destroyed
his sight. The sight is not destroyed, and
the only danger to be feared, I think, is
is front inflammation. It may be that he
will be out again in a few days.”
With the injured man at the hospital was
J. L Brewer, tne alleged champion shot of
America He was engaged at Ridgway
Purk to shoot with Dr. Carver. John but
ton. of this city, also attended the doctor.
The exhibition of shooting at the park
dunng the past few days has raised a storm
of indignation and fear from the passengers
on the ferry boats, who object to the bullets
from the shooter's guns coming in near prox
imity to their head*.

BRIDES OF THE MAD KING
Tragic Ending of a Strange Mania of
Bavarian Maidens.
Pi v<- al Ckiafpj Tribune.
A carious feminine mania is called to
mind by toe re.-at tragic news from Siu
njeh. Tw> • y-vxug ladies of that city—
boron.:sbjs—have couimitte-d suicide by
drowning in tAc otamberg lake, at the very
spoc where the mad King Louis drowned
himself last year. The names of these la
dies are familiar to all who have been ad
mitted to the best Munich society. They
were sisters, aged if. and -1. and were
famed for their oeauty. Their family is a
very wealthy and noble one. Tee mania to
which they fell victims had its origin fifteen
or sixteen years ago. The young King was
then at the height of his romantic fame.
His ideally handsome likeness was to b?
seen everywhere, and everywhere you heard
talk of iiis poetic melancholy, his romantic
spirit and his confirmed celibacy. Naturally
be became an object of interest to senti
m ntal young ladies. Presently, among the
otner absurd tales that were told of Him.
there went abroad the story that he spent
most of his tune in wandering about ais
kingdom in disgu.se. He haunted shady
lanes and romantic spots, seeking for some
fair maiden who should be his chosen bride.
Weil, this silly tale was believed, and set
theusands of ’ hearts to fluttering. Each
maiden wondered if she would be his choice
if he chanced to meet her under the lime
trees. And she hesitated to plight her troth
to her village lover until she should have a
chance to meet the King.
iso it came to pass t.iat in the village of
Bertoidshofen, in the romantic mountain
region of Southern Bavaria, the maidens
formed themselves ihso a sort of sisterhoed.
They pledged themselves to each other not
to marry ur.til they were sure the King ha 1
passed them by. Each was to wear his
likcuess constantly next her bosom, and
•-a-h wa< to choose for herself a secret
bower, where at eventide she should await
his coming. A more foolish scheme prob
ably never was devised by the silly brains of
love-sick school girls. But more than a score
of Bertoidshofen maidens entered into it with
the zeal and devotion of nuns. The fame
of this sisterhood spread to other villages,
to towns and cities—nay. to Munich itself.
Rustic wenches and the petted beauties of
princelv jprinces alike caught the mad dis
ease. \\ ithin a vear not less than 10,000
young women all through Bavaria had
taken upon themselves the “vows of Lud
wig.” and were waiting for their King.
In time many of these girls imagined they
had been seen and passed by by tne King,
and. thus freed from their vows, accepted
humbler husbands. Others grew tired of
waiting and broke their vows. Still others
waited and waited in vain until ail other
suitors passed them by; and thev are wait
ing still and will be waiting all their lives.
But as the ranks of the • nginol sisterhood i
were thinned new recruits were added, and
the “brides of Ludwig" were still counted
by thousands. It is estimated that there
were no less than 7.000 of them at the time
of his suicide. When the news of that
tragedy became known they forthwith put
on mourning and called themselves “the
widows of Ludwig. - Many of them took
solemn vows of hfe-kmg celibacy as a token
of faithfulness to his memory.
Among these latter, two of the most de
voted were the young baronesses, of Mun
ich. to whom we referred. They constantly
wore the deepest mourning, secluded them
selves from all social pleasures, and drove
themselves into confirmed melancholy.
Every week they went to S tarn berg and
threw garlands of flowers into the water at
the spot where the King was drowned.
Finally they determined to share his fate.
They arrayed themselves as brides, even to
donning veils and orange blossoms, rowed
out into the lake to the spot where he was
drowned, and threw themselves into the
water. Their bodies were found next day,
clasped in each other’s arms, and with por
traits of the mad King next their hearts.
WII.LTAW A. Eddy was married the other day.
Mr. Eddy, it should be said, is the tornado re
gxjrter for the United States Signal Service, and
is merely extending the sphere of his observa
tions.— Boston Ibtmscript.
