She was 18 years of age, and had just ascendec the throne, when the Morse system 0 telegraphy and that of Cooke and Wheatstone were first patented. Thir ij-ntne years of her life had passer when the first cable was laid under the Atlaixtic, end that one almost im mediately ceaeed to operate. Fifty—six years of it t xpired before the first tel ephone went into practical op ration. Scott mid Byron were in their prim, when Victoria first began to read the printed page. None of the great writer* —Thackeray Dickens, Bulwer-Lytton Tennyson, George E.iot, the Brown ings, and the others whose name have cast a glory over her country during the past half or tw< -'.birds of * century —had yet begun to work. Darwin, whose labors have revolu tionized science and have profoundly affected the thought of moralists and theologians, was yet unheaiJ of. At the time of Victoria’s birth th* tramp of Bonaparte’s armies had ju* t ceased to a! ake the world, and Bonr B parte himself was a prisoner on a British island in the South Atlantic She has seen every throne in Etuop< vacated many times. She has seen her own country transformed politically from au oligarchy, in which only om out of fifty of the population was per mitted to vote, into a democracy in which the voters number one out oi six of the inhabitants. France has changed its form of government four *imes since her early girlhood days, I taiy, then only a “geographical ex pression,” to use Metternich's phrase, has since become one of the great powers of Europe, while the empire oi Germany was far in the future.

The [ annexation of Florida, Texas, New | Mexico, California at d Alaska, to say I nothing of the more recent accessions ' of teriiiory, all came since Victoria's [ birth.
