No matter how much the title of Queen Victoria may be discussed in Parliament, or by the press, or what may be the ac cusations of any kind made against her, with the great mass of her people she will be recognized as the Queen of wives, the Queen of mothers and the Queen of her people's affections. It may be diffi cult to explain the affectionate loyalty with which the nation acknowledges a little act of humanity on the part of the monarch. It is probably because it af fords somethingon which an over-exuberant feeling may manifest itself. There was a superstition in the middle ages, which was acquiesced in and acted upon both by Church and State, and which may )ossibly still survive, that the royal touch lad in it healiDg virtue. A few weeks ago, on her visit to the London Hospital, after the formalities of her reception were conoluded, she vis ited several wards of the hospital, stop ping now and then to give a kindly glance, make a comforting inquiry as to the weltare ot the sutlerer, or speak cheering word. She, at her own request, was shown through the ward for children, when a little girl aged four, who had been burned, cried out that she should get well if she could only see the Queen. Her Majesty at once stepped to the cot. lovingly patted the wan cheek of the suf fering child, called her "my darling," and hoped that she would get well now Her Majesty in such acts meets the feel ing of her people, who, as a whole, agree with the Laureate when he writes: "Howc'cr it lie, it seems to me 'Tis only noble to he good. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood. The Rcssiak Police. It is dangerous to talk politics in a country ruled by a despot. Despotism admits of no criti cism; it demands obedience. An Eng lish gentleman who visited St. Peters burg some thirty years since, tells an an- ecdote which illustrates how sensitive the Sussian Government then was to criticism, and hotv strict was the surveillance exer cised by its police. Both may have since changed a little, but only a very little. The gentleman was dining at a restau rant where several persons of high rank were at the table. Among them was a young naval officer of good family. The recent taking of Varna it was captured from the Turks by the Russians, Oct. 11, 1828 came np as a topic of conversation, and the naval officer spoke rather dispar agingly of the action. One of the head waiters, who had listened attentively to the conversation, quietly went up to the officer and whispered a few words in his ear. The conversation was immediately changed to another topic, for the young officer had been told to hold his tongue. The waiter was a member of the secret police, whose duty it was to check and report all political conversation. In a few minutes the party broke up, and the Englishman departed, convinced that si lence was golden, at least when under a despotism. If you would be exempt from uneasi ness, do nothing which you know or sus pect is wrong; and if you wish to enjoy the purest pleasure, always do everything in your power which you know is right. A Madman's Welcome to Death. The other night, when the rain fell steadily, and the wind's moaniug added terror to the darkness, a madman was be ing watched in one of the little cottages within a stone's throw of the big hotel at the Michigan Central Junction. A for eigner and a day laborer, hard work and grieving over the loss of a child had broken him down. There were but lew around him who spoke his language, and busy with their own weary cares they aid not tender those kind words and that consolation which might have aided him to fight and conquer the mental malady creeping upon him. In hopes that it was only a temporary attack, or not fully re alizing his insanity, his few acquaint ances took turns watching with him in his lone little home. They could do no more than watch, and the watch was not well kept. The music of the rain drops on the roof lulled the watcher to sleep the other night. The madman was in bed and apparently sound asleep. The fire had gone out, the light was dim, and the watcher's eyes closed in sleep, even while he listened to the hoarse breathing of the nasal nr? locomotives and the rumbling of the trains. When his heavy breathing gave the signal the madman raised him self on his elbow and surveyed the watch er. There was a wild, cunning look in his eyes, and a mouse could not have moved more softly as he threw back the clothes and left the bed. A moment later. bareheaded, barefooted, and with neither coat nor vest on he crept across the floor to the door. He w as after his freedom. As h TiH mated on the sleeping man the light of murder flashed into them. How easy to creep softly up and secure a death trrin on the sleeper's throat I But the wildness of the night was a irranter temDtation. The moan of the wind was a voice whispering to the mad mau, and he longed to feel the dash of r a w . i rain upon ins levered lace, lie somy opened the door and passed out. Exult ant over his success, he could not repress a wild shout, and that shout opened the watcher's eyes and made his heart leap into his throat. He was alone in the cabin, aud the rain was driving in through the open "door. Hushing out, he caught a glimpse of a white figure stealing away, and he pursued. It was long past mid night. There was no time to summon help. Freight trains were coming and going, and the deep groans of the bur dened engines were hoarse warnings to lose no time in overtaking the madman. Through the brickyards along the banks of the deep, wide ponds around great woodpiles, across the network of slippery iron rails and yet the white figure, whose eyes blazed with madness, was ever ahead, though often halting and turning to hurl back a tierce shout of de rision. Bv and by others joined in the chase, and the fugitive headed away from the junction screaming as if pursued by demons. He passed trom sight to bedis covered later dancing about in his de lirium on the track of the Central. Then they knew that he was seeking death, and their exertions to recapture the lunatic were redoubled. Like a shadow a darker shadow than those of night he evaded their clutches and was lost again. Afar down the road was a gleam of light, and there was a trembling of the rails. The Pacific express was thunder ing its way through the darkness. The madman, on the track a quarter of amile below the searchers, also saw the light It grew to be a star as he watched it. The star grew larger, and he raced up and down and swung his arms in wild exulta tion. He would have screamed out his joy but for fear of his searchers, w hose voices came to him now and then. Larger and brighter grew the star, and then the moaning wind brought a rush ing, roaring sound so terrible in its might as to fill one with a thrill of awe and fear. The madman danced a wild dance and beckoned the light nearer. It seemed to answer. It came nearer. The black darkness that had settled down as if to keep day from breaking was riven by the bright light. In one minute the madman lived an hour. Awe and fear and cunning danced into his eyes and out. He waved the light away and he beckoned it nearer. A lunatic, having the wild, weird thoughts of a disordered mind, what strangely curious thoughts must have whirled through his brain. The engineer, peering ahead over the glistening rails, touched the cord and blew the signal for the junction. As the wild scream of steam rose on the heavy air it was answered by one wilder and fiercer. There was no time for action Of a sudden the puffing, rushing engine was close upon a human being, whose long arms were waving above his head. The engineer caught sight of a white face of long hair matted by dampness of a pair of burning eyes, and then the track ahead was clear. There was need of no more watching in the little Cabin. The star of light had brought the darkness of death. Detroit free lre. The Liberty Cap. When a slave was manumitted by the Romans, a small red cloth cap, called pileus, was placed on his head, bo soon as this was done he was proclaimed a freedman (libertinut) and his name duly registered. When Saturnius took the capital, in the year 263, he hoisted a cap on the top of his spear to indicate that all slaves who joined him should be free. Marius employed the symbol when inciting the slaves to take up arms against Sylla; and when Ciesar was murdered the conspirators marched forth in a body with a cap elevated on a spear as a token of liberty. The Goddess of Liberty in the Aventine Mount was repre sented as holding in her hand a cap, the symbol of freedom. In France, the Jac obins wore a red cap bonnet rouge), but in England the cap of blue, with a white border, is the symbol of liberty, and Britannia is sometimes represented as holding such a cap on the point of her spear. 1 lie American "cap ot liberty7 is also of blue, with a white band or border on the bottom, upon which thirteen stars are placed, and has been adopted from the British. There is no absolute or posi tive regulation in regard to this cap be yond its shape and color, so far as Amer ica is concerned. It is in shape of an old-fashioned nightcap or truncated cone. There is an unusually large number of steerage passengers going to Europe this spring, mainly to Great Britain, but not a few to Germany. It is probable that the greater part are leaviHg this country with no purpose to return, and in conse quence ol tne depression in business. Those who go to Great Britain will find a like condition of affairs there. God chooses that men should be tried, but let a man beware of tempting his ...

View baa been up to the average for the sea- ton in an acparimeuBJ, wiiuwui apei-uu activity in any. The grain harvest has been commenced in some portions of the State, and farmers are all in active preparation lor me Kainenqg 01 their crops throughout the State a fast as they shall mature. The yield of all the vari eties of grain, fruit and vegetables promise to be large and abundant, with lair prospects oi market demand for all our surplus, at prices generally satisfactory to producers. Money Is not in as free circulation as usual, but the banks are well supplied, and rates are easy for borrowers on irooa securities, present demand being light, unusually so for the opening of the harvest year, which ia the best evidence we nave mil mue is uoing iu the purchase of crops. The supply of disengaged tonnage at pres ent is light but increasing daily a large pro portion of that to arrive being aheady under engagement to loao ueiwceu ti uij aim ui io ber. Kates for the new crop loading may be quoted within the range of 3 5n(j3 a 6d lor nrsi-ciass grain i'miug amjia iu iuc United Kingdom. The price of wheat m England shows no im provement whatever of late, creating no small disappointment among those who have been looking for the advance in rates usual at this season of the year. With us prices are un changed as to the rates, but are quite firm. Flour rates are steady with a continued large export trade to China oi the lower and superfine grades, occasioned by 'present low prices lor sucu grades aim me un usually low rates of freight. Barley weakens steadily as tne near prospect oi the approaching large harvest is assured. Oats are weak and declining, live is in demand with light stocks. Buckwheat is extremely scarce and high. Corn is plenty demand improved at the close, with prices a shade stronger. Beans are in moderate stock; we note an advance in some varieties. The old crop of Potatoes are moving off freely at very low prices on account of large receipts of the new crop; prices all round have steadily declined. Onions of the old crop are becoming scarce, while the new are in large receipt selling at low rates. Re ceipts of Wool have been slacking off; sales continue large at unchanged rates, except for the better grades w hich are becoming scarce, and con maud slight advance over late ruling prices; a large proportion of the clip has been received and disposed of readily, though at very low prices; there is a strong probability of the entire spring elip being cleaned up before the beginning of the fall season. Butter re ceipts are fully up to daily requirements and prices are maintained without change. We hear of no Eastern imports, although stocks at the East are reported large and prices in the Western Stales unusually low. Cheese receipts to date exceed those of any former season and with present stocks large and steadily accumulating, prices have a down ward teudeiicy ; imports of Eastern are quite light. resh California Kggs are iu moderate supply, but in consequence of large receipts from Oregon, Salt Luke and the Western States, prices are kept down.
