Queen Viotoria for the last year ot two bae manifested an inclination to direot th e affairs of her o a n G o v e rn m ent, mnch to the diagust of her Prim e M inister. They say, remarks tho New Orleans Picayune, th a t the New York specula tors made enough out of British b o n d holders o r e r the lato war scare to pay pretty well all the expenses of tho war, if i t should come. Tbe stndenta of the University of California have pledged themselves to improve a n d beautify tho grounds of the institution by their own labor, thus m aking improvementa, for which the university has no money. ' The Chicago Physicians’Clnb has d e cided th a t \organized c h a rity means a wild desire on tho part of aomo peo ple th a t other people should help the poor,” and th a t the doctors generally get the heavy end of the stick. I t is olaimed that the large gold fields, oovering several thonsanda of aoreeinBnokiugham Connty, Virginia, have reeently beeu investigated by ex- perts aud t h a t the average of the ores gives a mnch better percentage of gold than either the South African or C rip ple Creek districts. Aooording to William E. Cnrtie, New York City is alarmed at tho pos sibility th a t Chicago may capture most of the trade with the South if the proposed Chicago and Sonthern States expositiouNs held uext fall. A counter dem onstration is therefore being planned in Qotham. This will take tbo form of a monster parade of tho bine and the gray. Negotiations to eeoure cheap excursion rates ovor ell railroads for the masses and passes for m erchants, producers, shippers, bankers and leading Grand Army of tbe Bepublio men in tho South and West a re being made. By those moans it is expected that a big crowd oan bo aeenred and the Chicago project nulli fied or at least prevented from accom plishing all its promoters antieapc. Sir W a lter Besant, tbe English nov elist, in commenting on Hall Caine’s views of the United States,, and pub lished in the London Daily Chronicle, •ays: \W o don’t know the American people in this country, and wo onght to know thorn ; they come over hero by the thonsaua, by the hundred tbou- send, end we do uothing to entertain them or to raako thoir acquaintance or to show them that wo should like to know them. Arc we nshnmed of ourselves—of our homes—of onr women, especially—that wc do not want to show ourselvea to them ? We havo no reason to- bo ashamed. The Englishwoman ia not so intellectually cultivated aa the American, but she need not iear comparison. As for the people generally, I am right glad to •ea Hall Caine proclaiming tho truth about thorn ; th a t is, that they arc al most ohildlike in their siuglonuas of heart, easily moved by simple things, the yonogeet minded and tho y oungest hearted people in tho world. As I did not lay this myself, 1 copy it, I steal it, and I adopt it. The material great- new of Amerioa takos away ouo's breath ; tho kiudness of the Americans takes away o n e 's power of criticism. Ouo does not-go away from a delight- lal evening and begin at onco to carp and sneer end insinuate suggestions. Only, if by any machinery wc eunld do something to make tho American visitor feel a t home with us, wo shunld be doing e great thiug for ourselves. I don't want him to lie introduced to belted earls, bnt I want American men and women of culture tu bo able easily to m eet English men and women nf c u lture.\ _________________ In 189* there were in tho United States 12,731 mercantile failures. Ttio num b er increased lost year to 13,01:1, 2.2 per oenL more thau tho num ber to t tbe previous year. Tbe per cent. feiioree during 1393 waa 1.23 as compared with 1.21 for 189* and 1.30 for 1893. The percentage of assets waa fifty-five in 1895, as against Hfty- three per cent, in 1*94 and sixty-tive in 1893. Hradstreet’s, commenting oh these figures, savs that tho \ i n crease in business failures in 1893 con trasted with 1891 amounts to onlv 292, for which gains the W estern, Northwestern and Middle Slates are rea| onBihle, they having been respec tively 333, seventy-seven an 1 sixty- fonr. W hile tho increase iu the total num ber of business fsilnres in the W estern States was apparently largo —abont eleveu per cent.—tho in crease in total liabilities of failing tinders did not amount to more than •even per c e n t., from which it may be perceived that commercial aud indus trial embarrassments in that region were largely among smaller concerns. H will be seen from the figures given above, observes tue Atlants Journal, that the num ber of failures in tho Bontb last year was much less than tho number for 1891. Tbe increase lu th e number for the whole country was 292, but the iucnaae in the Northeru and W estern States was 472. There fore. the South sh o w s s decrease of 182 in the num ber of m ercantile fail u r e ' last year. T h u speaks remarks- ably well for onr part of the country and ia another proof that the Somh endured tbe panic better ami came out from it with Uas injury than any other AFTER MANY D \Y 5 .
