VOLUME YII.
l Queen of England Dead.
Queen Victoria, the reigning mon¬
arch of England, died last Tuesday at
the Osborne house, Isle of Wight, sur¬
rounded by her children aud grand¬
children. The Prince of Wales, her
pon, succeeds her on the throne, and
is now King Edward VII. The Macon
Telegraph pays the dead queen the fol¬
lowing splendid tribute:
When all is said.of Queen Victoria
all may be traced back to that great
heart (a fountain of womanly, love)
which prompted her so often to refer
to herself as “Mother of my people.”
It was her fondest term applied to her¬
self.
This most remarkable woman, moth¬
er and monarch, was eighty-one years
old last May. She reigned over sixty
four years—longer than any monarch
known in history. On a June morn
in 1837 she was notified' of her acces¬
sion to the throne. With pomp and
imperial show this slender, willowy
and beautiful young woman took her
seat upon the stone chair of Edward
the Confessor and assumed the obliga¬
tions of the greatest dignity knowu on
earth..
She chose for herself a husband.
Prince Albert was not altogether satis¬
factory to the advisers of the throne,
but the young queen had a mind of her
own and had her way.
Tlie history of her reign is the most
glorious in British annals. Beginning
in poverty, through strict economy and
in spite of the prodigality of her eldest
sou, she aepmynlateci a' private fortune
of #50.000,000. A model girl, an ideal
wife and a loving mother and queen,
site has done more for Englishmen and
the world than any woman that has
lived save the Nazarene maiden whose
immacculate conception gave to the
world the Christian religion. The span
of her life encompassed nearly three
generations of men, and her history
may with great profit be the study of
every Jiving man and woman.
She was the mother of nine children.
Her grandchildren include some of the
monarchs of Europe, among them tbe
Emperor of Germany, tbe Empress of
Russia and tbe reigning Grand Duke
and Grand Duchess of Hesse. The
widowed Empress of Germany and the
reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha aro her own children. The
Crown Prince and Crown Princess of
Greece, the Crown Prince and Crown
Princess of Roumania and the Crown
Prince and Crown Princess .
of Saxe
Meimgen are her
it will be seen that her connubial or
wifely love, and her mother love, op¬
erating unselfishly / from her hidi
110,1 .. luade , her , not ou!
y mother
her people, but the grandmother
Europe and the friend of the world,
She basset an example to
maid and queen which will go down
tlie ages. She was a great queen be
cause she ivas a great wife and mother.
lt she had oeeu cold and selfish,
remained unmarried, there is no
ccption of what might be now written
in the pages of history. But she chose
the better part, and contributed won¬
derfully to the softening influences
.which have mellowed the world since
her ascension to the throne.
It is to be hoped that much of the
conservatism and good common -muse
of the departed queen will develop in
King Edward VII. Englishmen have
not been very hopeful of him, but the
responsibilities of power aqd position
may bring out qualities latent. He is
a man now of mature years. He has
been long in the training school. .

of Mr. J. D. McKissack last Tuesday
evening. The sumptuous spread upon
which we feasted consisted of several
embracing delicacies highly de
lectable to the taste. It is useless to
say it was very much enjoyed by all.
The occasion was a success socially, as
v
well, and the guests revealed in their
pleased countenances the en joyment
afforded them by the charming courte

Darley Lodge of Masons own
valuable building lots in town that for
some time have been of but little prof¬
it. They have recently boon discus¬
sing ways and means of converting the
two into one with a building on it suit¬
able for lodge purposes.
The city is also without a council
chamber or other public building, and
it has been suggested that the Masons
dispose of one of tlieir lots, and that
they and the city council join each oth¬
er in the erection of a haudsotne tluec
story building where the old lodge
building now stands, the first floor to
be routed for a store room, the second
story to-be used for a council cliambcr,
public library and armory, or public
hall, and thc.thircj story to be used by
the Masons.
We like, the suggestion and hope that
it will meet with such general approv¬
al as will result in securing to the town
a public building that will not Only be
a creditable ornament, but a place of
much utility.
There is a demand for good storo
houses, aud the lower story might al¬
ways be rented for a good price, suffi
dent to pay reasonable interest on the
money invested. The second story
could be used as a public library, and
if properly furnished, including a pi¬
ano. would prove a delightful place at
which the ladies and young people
mi “ „ ht Kemble and spend the evenings
