1 QUEEN VICTORIA. HOME A Lo«k at th« Gawd Old Suvaralga af tba - British lalM. 1 saw the Queen in Edinburgh. She ia a fit, rteut bld woman, with a roey face and dark gray hair. Her features are Hafere (Airman than Engl rah, and they look very inoffensive and uncharacter- krtic. She is probably a woman of great ' Hite Beet u al strength and of queenly thought; but, aa to appearance, you may ¿Ve twtter face* at any reception in America, or in any day’s shopping. She waaon her way to Che exposition, and the street.-of Edinburgh were cleared *f carriages and street cam during her march. Plank fences had been erected outiede of the pavements to keep back ttoe crowd, and hundreds of policemen, aoldrere and marshals were present to edge the divinity which surrounds the Queen. The sidewalks along the line of march swarmed with people, and the •uene reminded me much of a great pro- eesMon in America. When the Queen left Bfriyrood Palace, which is in the city of Edmburgh. the cannon on the castle began ¿> boom, and the march was made to this and the music of the band. The enthusiasm of the people was not great, and the cheer as she passed along was not equal to that of an American processiou in which the President takes pa>u Queen Victoria, with two of her daughters, sat in a double-seated car­ riage hauled by four horses, and a half­ dozen Lords and Dukes rode in front of and behind her. As the carriage passed along, the three women, the one old and the others middle-aged and youn­ ger, kept continuously bobbing ‘ their beads in bowing response to the cheers of the crowd. I’he whole scene was a ridiculous one. and the little soul ex­ hibited in it shows how fast the mon­ archical system is on the wane, and how little the Scotch and English care for it. - Edinburgh Cor. Cleveland Leader. Bonner, of The ledger. [New York Cor. Chicago Journal ] Mr. Robert Bonner is not making as much noise in the world as he was ten or fifteen years ago, when he was push­ ing his story paper in every possible manner. He has become very rich, and max be pardoned if he slacken* some­ what from the very rapid business pace at which he for so many years lived. There are plenty of printers in New York who set type with Mr. Bonner on the old New York Tribune, and some of them told Mr. Bonner that he was mak­ ing a grave error when he threw up a good situation to embark upon an un­ certain enterprise Yet these men are setting type, and Mr. Bonner is worth well on toward >5,000,000. His scheme was a good one, and it paid from almost the very start. It succeeded more through the business tact of its proprietor than in conse­ quence of great excellence in the publi­ cation itself, although Mr. Bonner spent money for good matter with great liber­ ality just as soon as he got the money to spend His advertising methods were new at that time, and once under headway the business grew with great rapidity, Mr Bonner still goes to his desk every day #ud looks with the same care after a thousand details, but ha is also taking a deal of enjoyment out of every day life. He is a very benevolent man, and he is constantly helping persons whom he knows to be deserving. He delights in nothing so much as his horses, how­ ever, a*d he does not let a pleasant day pass without going out for a whirl through the park and up the road, as the drive above Central para is called. He ia very much of a student, and he en­ joy» his home and his books almost as well Ms his drives and his horses.

Native plants are crowded out. because the plants that have long been cleared are accustomec to living in the open sun, while our country has been comparatively recently cleared. The ox-eyea daisy and Canada thistle are foreign plant immigrants. —Prof. S. W. Johnson says that if we mix lime intimately with manures con­ taining ammonia salts the ammonia is set free as a gas and escapes in the air. If we mix lime with a fertilizer contain­ ing phosphoric acid, or phosphates sol­ uble in water, there is formed reverted phosp horie acid (phosphate of lime, which is insoluble in water,) from which it may oe inferred that lime should not be mixed with fertilizers containing either ammonia salts or soluble phos­ phoric acid. — N.

This brace is made of half­ inch iron, with a fork at one end and a ring in each end of the fork, each ring being furnished with a snap, or with a strap and buckle, by which it may be attached to the bit, the opposite end of the brace being made to tit upon the front of the lower part of the collar by a similar fork fitted with a strap. The length of the brace must be adjusted to the size of the horse, the point being to keep the bead well up.— Chicago Trib- une. How Coral Island« Grow. ICWpt (’himmo, British Navy.] First it makes a break or ripple on the surface; something is then drifted and entangled on it—maybe a log of wood, a dead tree, a mass of weeds; then birds bring their food of fishes, seeds, etc., and leave the bones there; sand, gravel and broken shells accumulate around it, and it begins to appearabove water. Feeds drifting on the ocean are next arrested in their progress; dead wood, decayed leaves, fishbones form a sod; the seed germinates, and rapidly, too, with the beat and rains of the tropics—generally the mangrove; this becomes a bush, then a tree, its roots grasp the surrounding soil, and it becomes the nucleus of a mangrove island, waiting for some passing dis­ coverer to same ill • I have watched with real interest the progress of these islets from year to year, first the ripple, then the collection of leaves, sand and shells, then the first shoot of the nstngrove, then the sea­ shells, the hermit crab and the surface ocean shell, all soon to become a coral island.
