Queen Victoria's Birthday.
Queen Victoria celebrated her sev¬
enty-fifth birthday a tew days ago.
The queen is now in excellent health,
nnd it-ia possible that ahe will live for
some years to come. She has been on
the throne fifty-seven years, and her
feign embraces many of the most mem¬
orable events in English history.
Victoria will not rank in history
among the greatest rulers of world,
but she will be remembered as a good
wife and mother, a model of virtue
and a queen who felt a deep interest in
the welfare of her anbjects. She has
had nine children, of whom seven are
•till living.
Since she has been on the throne
her people have given her in tho cival
list expenditures $110,276,000, and
•‘."0.000 » ye.r. The
^7 "J, 8 o™emb£
l‘r year, 6 Z‘ I ho l queen aTl\ has iH saved W ahd in
vented some thirty or forty million
dollars, and in the event of a revolu
tion her children would inherit
enough to give them a new start in the
world.
Thero is not much more to be said
about this serene and fortunato
old lady. She holds to the religious
faith and tho political creed of her
fathers, and is opposed to liberal views.
She hates scandal as much as she hated
Mr. Gladstone, loves big dinners and
good wine, and still believes that her
husband was tho best man that ever
lived. Two or three attempts have
been made to assassinate her, but her
people love her, and her successor will
be lucky indeed if he enjoys her pop¬
ularity. notable This last anniversary was a
one. It is a Tare thing for a
sovereign to celebrato a seventy-fifth
throne.—Ale. birthday after fifty-seven years on tho

Heavy storms were reported Sun¬
day from many points along tne south
of England coast. Much wreckage
has gone ashore at Broad Stairs and
Ilfracombe. Tho camji of the East
Kent militia regiment at Shorn Cliffs
has been flooded. The tents were
blown away and the bedding and
clothing were drifting about in some
eighteen inches of water. The grain
crops and fruits further inland have
been greatly damaged.
A great drought in the far western
part of Nebraska is reported. The
farmers have been unable to raise a
crop or obtain water for stock. As a
consequence hundreds of fat ms iu
Lincoln and adjoining counties are
being deserted by their tenants, who
are moving eastward in wagons. No
rain has fallen iu weekR, and all vege¬
tation is parched. Other portions of
the state fare very much better, but
in many places the small grain is a
failure.
A party of rainmakers from some
point in the north have been operating
in the usually arid region about 100
miles west of San Antonio, Texns,
near Braokett, for tho past two weeks,
ami have thoroughly convinced the
people of that section that their scheme
is a grand success. Heavy rains have
fallen in that immediate locality dur¬
ing the past few days, the total fall
having been greater than for several
years. The process consists of firiug
some kind of chemicals into the air.
United States Marshal Hawkins has
served fifty writs of injunction against

is unable to get the coal cars moved
troops will be asked for. At Shelburn,
on the Evansville and Terre Haute
railroad, Sheriff Mills served similar
write on miners at that place. Afier
the writs were served the miners re¬
fused to allow the coal to be moved.
COMMONWEALERS CONVICTED

Mont., Tuesday to answer the charge
of contempt in seizing a train on the
Northern Pacific railroad at the west¬
ern line of the state, May 18th. J.
W. Kelly, the leader, who is a brother
of the Kelly whose army is now in St.
Louis, was sentenced to the county
jail for six. months. John Ross, the
engineer who had served two terms in
the penitentiary and was released in
January, was also given six months.
William Blair, Stewart Lackey and
Tom Davidson were each sentenced to
thirty days in jail.

A Savannah special says: The tak¬
ing of a final decree pu the foreclosure
of the consolidated mortgage on the
Port Royal and Western Carolina
railroad and the first mortgage on the
Augusta and Knoxville railroad has
been postponed by judge Simonton
until July 10th. The receivers of the

North Carolina.
Three hundred striking miners, out
by McBride’s orders, have returned to

business place in Yorkville and no clue
to their identity. This is the first vis¬
it from safe crackers that Yorkville
has ever had.
Robert Charben, who, for two years,
was federal commissioner at Attalla,
Ala., has been convicted in the United
States court at Birmingham of pre¬
senting false accounts to the govern¬
ment, and sentenced to one year’s ime
prisonment. He appealed to the Unit¬
ed States court and gave bond for
$1,000. There are four other similar
charges against him for which he is be¬
ing tried. This trial has created the
greatest of sensations in Alabama.
There are six other commissioners and
deputy United States marshals under
Bimiliar indictments.
There is a storm gathering about the
head of General Kelly, of the Califor¬

knew of his alleged irregular use of
money contributed by the public.
A Topeka, Kan., dispatch says: Ex
Adjutant General Artz, at the head of
his commonwealers, marched from
their armory Tuesday afternoon to
the office of commissioner of elections,
and each of the fifty men were regis¬
tered, all announcing their intention
of returning from Washington in time
to vote at the November election.
Governor Lewelling addressed the
company. He said that while he did
not entirely approve of the methods
adopted by the wealers to accomplish
the desired end, that they had a per¬
fect right to travel over the country at
will, and that no one had any right to
interfere with them.
An appeal has been made by the Ba¬
roness Rouques, the mother of Mrs.
Maybrick, to the press of England and
America, asking their aid in behalf of
her daughter, now serving a life sen¬
tence in the working prison for
the murder of her husband. Tho
appeal is accompanied by a pam¬
phlet containing the latest evidence
gathered in favor of the prisoner. The
baroness attributes the refusal of the
home office to reopen the case of her
daughter to the fact that the home of¬
fice authorities are in possession of ad¬
verse evidence which they obtained se¬
cretly. She appeals for the assistance
of the press as an American and as a
mother.
TRADE TALK.
The Past' Week was Rather a Dull
One.
R. G. Dun & Co’s Review of Trade
for the past week says:
“Storms and floods, prolonged
strikes and large exports of gold have
done their utmost this week to give
business a vacation. But the wants
unsatisfied during the past year, bela¬
ted and much lessened and yet greater
than those of any other nation, have
caused a volume of trade quite large
for the season. While the iron indus¬
try especially and many others to some
extent, have been restricted by scarci¬
ty of coal and coke, the number
of works resuming has been great¬
er than the number stopping from
other causes. But it is a symptom Dot
to be overlooked that the demand for
manufactured products, instead of in¬
creasing, appears for the moment
rather smaller than before and indif¬
ference of buyers is shown in cancella¬
tion of orders hitherto given. It is a
waiting season, but the disposition to
wait is this year much intensified.
Works in operation are fairly busy in
closing up orders for a belated spring
demand, but there is even more shrink¬
age in orders for the future than was
noticed last year as the precursor of
coming dullness.
“There appears no increased demand
for cotton goods and manufacturers
liave agreed that the accumulation of
print cloths, which now sell at 2.69
cents for 64s most presently be checked
by suspending production. Exchanges
through clearing houses compare fa¬
vorably for the week, being only 18.1
per cent, smaller than last year.
“Failures diminish in importance,
the amount of liabilities for the third
week in May being only $2,204,139
and for three weeks $7,836,972, of
which $2,642,687 were of manufactur¬
ing and $5,025,007 of trading con¬
cerns. The number of failures report¬
ed this week is 183 iu the United States
against 2591ast year, and in Canada
28 against 14 last year,and again there
are noted scarcely any of importance.”

SANTS HEADQUARTERS.
Comment Concerning Transactions in
the Various Departments.
The democratic managers are be¬
coming impatient at the time being
consumed by the republicans in the
discussion of the metal schedule and
are beginning to- talk among them¬
selves of the advisability of prolonging
the hours of debate.
The special committee appointed attempted to
investigate the charges of
senatorial bribery on the part of
Charles W. Buttz submitted their re¬
port to the senate Friday. Buttz is
found by the committee to have made
an attempt at bribery, despite his de¬
nial, and Senators Hunton and Kyle
are exonerated from all blame.
The discussion on the repeal of the
ten per cent tax on state banks com¬
menced in the house Saturday morn¬
ing. There is no limit on the debate,
and it is expected to continue two
weeks, at least, probably longer. The
house is so evenly divided on the prop¬
osition that the discussion may change
enough votes to pass or defeat the bill.
Secretary Carlisle is very much an¬
noyed and disgusted at the newspaper
publications hinting a deal of some
kind concerning the sale of the govern¬
ment building at Chicago. It is learn¬
ed that he had written letters to Col¬
onel Livingston, os chairman of the
sub-committee on appropriations, show¬
ing that the charges made are utterly
false and ridiculous.
The wholesale discharge of clerks
for which Secretary Lamont has so
long been preparing took place in
the war department Tuesday, nearly
three hundred employes receiving
notices that their services were no lon¬
ger required. Many of them were also
notified that they would be allowed
pay until various dates in June on ac¬
count of regular leaves of absence.
Senator Gorman has not been
in his seat in the senate since the
day he delivered his recent Bpeech
upon the tariff bill. It was known
that he was indisposed, but each day
the announcement was made that rest
was all he needed. Tuesday, however,
the senator’s brother w-as quoted as
Baying that Senator Gorman is a very
sick man. Overwork, he says, is the
cause.
The comptroller of the currency has

claims proved amounting to $68,699.
A fourth dividend of the First Nation¬

amounting to $551,329.
Exposition News.
Assistant Secretaries Willitts and
Bickford, of tho agricultural depart¬
ment, were before tho sub-committee
of the house appropriations commit¬
tee, having iu charge the proposed ap¬
propriation for the Atlanta exposition
Saturday morning, These gentle
men stated that $3P0,000 in
round numbers would be a sum
sufficient for a creditable govern¬
ment exhibit. They promised, how¬
ever, to furnish exact figures in a few
days. Mr. Livingston, chairman of
the subcommittee, received a telegram
from Mr. Spear, of Chicago, who erect¬
ed the government building at the
world’s fair, in which he estimated
that the cost of taking down the
building and erecting it at At¬
lanta would be about $30,000.
The Trade Was Not Ratified.
Rejiresentative Livingston, of Geor¬
gia, and Secretary of the Interior
Smith, had a conference Friday with
Secretary Carlisle regarding the gov¬
ernment building at Chicago which it
is designed to move to Atlanta and
erect on the exposition grounds at that
place. Mr. Carlisle stated that the
building was sold on the 12th instant
to a Chicago wrecking company, that
the contract had been made out and
the company’s check received, but that
the contract was not signed as yet nor
had the money been turned into the
treasury. He stated that he would be
governed by the wishes of congress in
the matter; that if congress desired
that the sale should be set aside he
would do so and the building should
be removed to Atlanta, agreeably to
the wishes of the exposition managers.
MONEY FOR ATLANTA.
An Appropriation of $200,000 Re¬
ported for Her Exposition.
The Atlanta exposition will get
$200,000 from the government. Of
this $50,000 is for the building and
$150,000 for the exhibit. If the re¬
moval of the building is not practica¬
ble or if the removal and re-erection
of the building are not possible within
the amount of the appropriation, then
the secretary of the treasury is au¬
thorized to have a building erected at
Atlanta, the cost not to exceed $50,
000. If the old building is removed,
one-half of it is to be reserved for the
government exhibit and the rest of the
building will be for whatever exhibit
the colored race may make, Tht
building is to be under the control ol
a board of government trustees.

Tlie Arkansas Populist Delegates will
March Across Country.
The Arkansas populist state central
committee has decided that delegates
to the state convention, which convenes

overland instead of coming by rail¬
roads. Delegations will start on July
9 from various counties in the interior
of the state and proceed across the
country in wagons, on horseback and
on foot directing their course toward
Little Rock. At different places along
the route th|e “army” will be swelled
by delegations from adjacent counties,
and at several towns stops will be made
and populistic principles will be pro¬
claimed bv prominent sneakers.

CONGRESSIONAL.
DAILY PROCEEDINGS OP BOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
The Discussion of Important Measures
Briefly Epitomized.
The house, Thursday, went into
committee of the whole, and discussed
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill.
The house Friday refused to con¬
sider two or three private bills by
unanimous consent, and at 12:30, on
motion of Mr. Buun, of North Caro¬
lina, the house voted to go into com¬
mittee of the whole, Mr. Hatch in the
chair, to consider bills on tho private
calendar. Mr. Springer gave notice
that he would call up the Brawley bill
Saturday, involving the repeal of the
ten per cent tax.
On motion of Mr. Springer the
house, Saturday, resolved itself into
committee of the whole on the state
bank tax repeal bill.
The house bill was passed Monday,
extending one year the time for ma¬
king final proof of the location of a
settlement under the homestead and
desert land acts. Two or three pri¬
vate bills were passed, and the house
then, in committee of the whole, be¬
gan the consideration of bills relating
to the affairs of the District of Colum¬
bia. The response by the children of
Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot,
to the message of sympathy trans¬
mitted by the speaker at the time of
Kossuth’s death, was laid before the
house by Speaker Crisp.
Wednesday being Decoration Day,
Mr. Catchings at the opening of the
session of the house, Tuesday, moved
that when the house adjourned it be
until Thursday noou. Agreed to.
Committees having been called for re
ports, the house went into committee
of the whole—Mr. Kichardson, of Ten
nessee, in the chair—on the 10 per
cent bank tax bill. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Cox, of Tennessee,
Johnson, of Indiana, and Black, of
Georgia.
THE SENATE.
In the senate, Thursday, Kyle’s Ha¬
waiian resolution was laid before the
body for action. After a short discus¬
sion, Mr. Hoar asked unanimous con¬
sent that the resolution be adopted
without further debate, but Mr. White,
of California, objected, and the resolu¬
tion was laid aside. At 10:30 o’clock
the tariff bill was taken up, the ques¬
tion being on the tin plate paragraph,
pending an amendment, being the ono
offered by Mr. Aldrich to make the
duty cents per pound.
In the senate, Friday, Mr. Kyle’s
resolution offered Wednesday as to
Hawaii, was taken up. The discussion
upon it was interrupted at 10 :30 a. m.
when the tariff bill was taken up, the
question being upon paragraph 123,
putting a duty of 30 per cent on breech¬
loading shotguns.
After some unimportant morning
business, Saturday, the tariff bill was
taken up in the senate at 10:30, the first
question being on the paragraph as to
iron or steel wheels. The duty in the
house bill was fixed at 30 per cent ad
valorem, and Mr. Vest, iu behalf of
the finance committee, moved to make
it lj cents per pound. Agreed to. Mr.
Hill moved to place lead ore on the
free list. The bill, he said, was not
satisfactory to him, but he was now
and always had been in favor of its
prompt disposition. He said that Mr.
Gorman had exceeded his authority
when he said that the democratic party
was united on the present bill and de¬
nied that there was absolute unity in
the party. The bill was satisfactory
to very few senators and could not be
satisfactory to him so long as there
was a remnant of the populistic income
tax on it.
The tariff bill was laid before the
senate Monday. Mr. Hale’s amend¬
ment to continue the existing duties
on sawed boards and lumber was dis¬
cussed till noon without reaching a
vote, and then Mr. Walsh, of Georgia,
addressed the senate on the general
subject of th e tariff.

TROOPS CALLED FOR.
The Sheriff of Jefferson County, Ala¬
bama, Needs Them.
A Montgomery, Ala., special says:
The sheriff of Jefferson county writes
the governor that it is impossible for
him to preserve the peace with his dep¬
uties and citizens without serious loss
of life and perhnps of property. In
consequence of the request, and other
independent information, Governor
Jones, as a matter of precaution, has or¬
dered the Second regiment of Alabama
troops into camp of instruction at Bir¬
mingham, as they go into camp about
this time every year at some point in
the state. When their terms expire
they will be replaced by another regi¬
ment. He proposes to keep the peace
and to have force enough to prevent
and punish armed bands roaming
around and overawing peaceable citi¬
zens who may desire to engage in their
regular occupation.

A MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM
To Discuss the Situation at the Coal
Mines.
An immense throng of all shades and

Ala., Saturday to discuss the present
situation between the mine operators
and the miners.
Resolutions were adopted denounc¬
ing tb* check system and other
now existing, and a committee was ap¬
pointed to try and effect a settlement
of the strike; also a committee to wait
on the railroad employes and ask them
to refuse to haul coal cut by scabs or
convicts. Good order prevailed and
everything, passed off harmoniously.

ly possessions was concerned, though J
he had some salary, and tho girl was
worse off because she had no salary.
Yet he loved her.
Love is a ioaring lion going about
seeking whom he may devour.
The girl loved him also, but it was
tempered by judgement and tho cost
of house rent, clothes, social demands
and that sort.
As previously mentioned, he loved
her, and in time it came to pass that
he proposed to her.
“But, dear George,” she urged in
the negative, “you only have $1,200 a
y ear »
This argument rather surprised him,
for he had an idea that $1,200 a year
was not to he sneezed at.
“Well,” he exclaimed, “we can live
on that, can’t we?”
She took both his hands in hers and
looked straight into his largo, inno¬
cent eyes.
“Live on it? Of course we can, you
dear boy,” she murmured, “but we
would look too ridiculous for anything
going around without any clothes on,
wouldn’t we, dear?” and poor Georgo
went down all in aheap .—Detroit Free

The Change of Name.
It is said that the practice of tho
wife’s assuming the husband’s name
at marriage originated from a Roman
custom, and became the common cus
tom after the Roman occupation.
Thus Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey and Oc¬
tavia of Cicero, and in later times
married women in most European
countries signed their names in the
same manner, but omitting the “of.”
Against this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth, and even
the beginning of the seventeenth cen¬
tury, the usage seems doubtful, since
we see Catherine Perr so signing her¬
self after she has been twice married,
and we always hear of Lady Jane
Grey (not Dudley) and Arabella Stu¬
art (not Seymour). Some persons
think that the custom originated from
the Scriptural teaching that husband
and wife are one. It was decided in
the case of Bon vs. Smith, in the reign
of Elizabeth, that a woman by mar¬
riage loses her former namo and le¬
gally receives that of her husband.—
