New Yokk, Feb. 23. A dispatch from
HavHim savb :
The further the inquiry into the cause
that led to the Malue disaster proceeds
the more remote appears the chances
that any evidence will be discovered to
boa- that the disaster was due to an
accident. Those divers who penetrated
into the forward part of the wreck found
that the whole forward end of the ship,
from a point just abaft the forward tur
Nt, had been twisted by fifteen or twen
ty degrees to starboard. That part ol
the vessel waH a wilderness of debris and
curled and twisted plates. The sharp,
jigged edges of some of tho plates added
danger to the difficulties of tho divers.
In 6ome Instances they almost cut
through a rubber tube w'hfch supplied
the divers with air.
One important discovery made was
the position of tho bodies iound in the
wreck, 100 of which were found floatiug
tout in the torn compartments. A full
re ol these were examined by my in-
urmani
ingness to do so.

ADOUT QUEEN VICTORIA.
Thrro Stnrle Thnt Arn Interest Ing Con
cerning Kngliind'n Sovereign.
For many n year nf tor l.cr husband's
tlonth Queen Victoria would never con
sent to be photographed, save in very
hirruhrioiiK trim and with tho prince
consort's bust or portrait well in sight.
Much livelier now that she is much old
er, her majesty to-day sits for artists in
grand array as well as everyday clothes,
and nome of her favorite jewels and
laces have thus become well known to
the public. Tho severely criticised or
naments bedecking' the sovereign's head
and chest on the, jubSce coinagts may
be recognized ns studies from actual
jewels much beloved by her majesty.
Sir Edgar Bochrn had a hard time of it
with outsiders when Hioso coins .were
first issued, but he was amply compen
sated by eirfogiumo fatting from royal
and imperial lips upon the charming
way he had rendered that favorite neck
lace, brooc'i and earrings.
Tho queen's money from the state is
all paid up in advance to tho 31st of
March next, and so are all the annui
ties that are granted to the prince of
Wales and the other members of the
royal family, and Coirfcts', the bankers,
arc the only persons who know how the
royal accounts stand. The thirty-six
thousand pounds a year nMowed for the
children of the prince of Wales remains
at the same amount as it was before the
death of the duke of Clarence, and this
money will continue to be paid till six
months after her majesty's demise.
On each anniversacy or the annual
celebration of the queen's wedding
the beautiful painting of the marriage
of hr majesty is brought into the royal
dining-room and deeorated with white
silk rosettes. In this painting the
queen's mother and the beautiful duch
ess of Sutherland, mistress of the robes,
show to great advantage. The curtana
also appears near the queen's left shoul
der, held at the "carry" by a state
officer, (the curtana or curtein is the
pointless sword of King Edward the
Confessor, considered an emblematic
sign ot mercy), and in the left hand
background of the picture are two
large burning tapers on the altar of the
Chapel Royal, St. James', which were
blown out by the archbishops of Can
terbury and York immediately after
tlie ceremony. These candies are still
preserved, and wiH not be lighted again
until required for a sacred ceremony,
which,- we trust, w-HJ not take place un
til aH the young society people of to
day are bald-headed and have to wear
wigs.
The ShakerB of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that lias helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shak
ers never, have indigestion. This is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Siiaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands
so that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty of
Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula
is printed on every bottle. Sold by

The antiquity of modern inventions

by way of commentary upon the old
saying that "there is nothing nuwviinder

by tho London News. A peripatetic
