nv to Ke Happy, Though. Single.
We lately wrote a book which has
been most favorably received, called,
"How to Be Happy, Thomrb Married;
but t think that qtdte as much might
be sua on roe possiouiiy oi single blessedness. Thousands of women.
and even men, cannot marry for one reason or another. Let them cultivate
the contented state of mind of thai old Scotch lady who said, "I wadna gie my single life for a' the donble anes I ever
saw.
.People may admire the marriage
state, and vet have their own good rea
sons for not entering it Under the dying pillow of Washington Irving
there was found a lock of hair and a
miniature. Who. will say that a man or woman ought to marry who treasures np such memorials,' and thinks of all
that might nave been?
Inipecuniosity is another reason for
denying one s sell the luxury oi a wile.
A mistake may, of course, be made aa
to the amount of money necessary for marriage. There are those who could drive a coaeh-and-two, bat waiting for a coach-and-four, they are carried .into the desolation of confirmed bachelor, jam. That man, however, is much to be pitied who leads a pure life and whose "I can't afford it" ia no mere excuse. Let him continue to work and economize, and before very long he will have "A guardian aagel o'er his life presiding. Doubling his pleasures, and his cares dividing.' To this angel he should be true in anticipation, remembering bow Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi, advised her unmarried sons to keep themselves pure, so that all the blessings of a virtuous home might one day be theirs. What is one man's meat may be smothers man's poison. To some persons we might say, "If yon marry you do well, but if you marry not you do
better." In the case of others mar
riage may have decidedly the advantage.
Like most other things, marriage is
good or bad according to the use or abuse we make of it. The applause
that is usually given to persons on entering the matrimonial stage is, to say
the least, premature. Let us wait to
see how they play their parts.
And here we must protest against the foolish and cowardly ridicule that is sometimes bestowed upon elderly men
and women who, using the liberty of a free country, have abstained from marrying. Certainly some of them could ' give reasons for spending their lives outside the temple of Hymen that are far more honorable than the
motives which induced their fool-detractors to rush in. Some have never
found their other selves, or circum
stances prevented -the junction of these selves. And which is more honorable, ' a life of loneliness or a loveless mar-
riatre? There are others who have
laid down their hopes of wedded bliss for the sake of accomplishing some good work, or for the sake of a father, mother, sister, or brother. lit such) cams celibacy is an honorable, and may be a praisewortby state. CoaaeW

The Grand Army has nothing whatever fo do with the invitation extended to the President, but as is the case with themselves, was invited by the citizens ot the city. The Hendricks Clnb, of St. Louis, started all the trouble by coming forward and attemptine to make arrangement for his reception in trne political style, to which the citizen's committee and some of ihe G. A. B. men .-b;ected. An Augusta, Me., snecial says: The prohibitory law of Maine has just re
ceived a most terrific setback in this vicinity. Michael Burns, a well-known liquor dealer, has bronght to Augusta from Liverpool a-large invoice of foreign distilled spirits.'wbich he is selling o all who wish to purchase. Tbe United States protects all persons importing liquors from foreicn countries from prosecution under any State prohibition law for selling such goods in the original unbroken packages. The retail price of the proods bns been made so low as to be within easy reach of the purchasing pnb'ic and the sales have already reached very large proportions. A sensation has been caused in Washington Teal estate circles by the announcement that the Treasurer of fho United States has requested the Commissioners of the District of Columbia io sell all property within the district against which there are any unpaid assessments for special improvement taxes, represented by tax lieu certificates deposited in his office. It is said that property on nearly pvery street and avenue in the district is effected, and is in danger of being sold.

The designs will be passed upon ly a jury of architects and artists. A tank of gasolene exploded in a twostory brick bnilding at Chattanooga, and the flames spread with great ra) idity to the grocery store of J. Moring and the Morgan house, a three-story frame structure. The ccenpan's barely oscnped with their lives. Henry ller and Matt Peake , fremen. were buried in a mass of debris by a falling wall.

Assistant Secbetaby Thompson, of tho
Treasury Department, says a false impression
prevails with regard to that of t-agitatod propo
sition as to whothor or not two members of ono
family shall bo allowed to hold office under
tho Government His attention was recently callod to a case in which two sisters wore inteioiteJ. They aro marriod and havo aepar-
ilc families dependent upon thorn lor sup
port Quo of tho ladies resides in Baltimore,
and tbe other in South Carolina, and tha question was raised whether both
of these ladios could, under tho circumstances, retain their offices in tho Treasury Department Secretary Ihompsonii decides that they can moBt assuredly. He says tho intention of tho ruling upon the two-of-ono-family subject is to prevent fathers, sons and daughters, all liviug in tho same houso and eating at the same table, from occupying clerical positions in tho Government serv.'oe. A' tsr the son or daughter marries and establishes a family thoy cannot be classed as two of the same family. Thoy aro, by their marriage, made separate and distinct families. For instance, two brothers might marry and establish homes for thomsolvoa and familien, and it would be unjust to docido that ono of ihe brothers should hold ofiloo while the other brother should not Mb. Jobdan says that it will probab'y 1 e, soiii ) time hot oro tbe now silver certificates will bo ready, but that temporary certificates w 11 be provided for trading purposes.

THE INDUSTRIAL EEALM. The General Executive Committee of tho

employed. The word "boycott is not em
ployed by the committee, but the phrase "we cannot recommend these carpets" answers the
purpose just aa well Tho local aasombiies at Now York and Philadelphia repudiate tho

A Dratrj! dispatch says that at tho regular
fortnightly meeting of tho National League,
hold in that city Tuesday, the consensus of opinion of those present was that the course of Mr. Davitt in advising tenants to resist eviction by every means in their power was not
wise. Mr. Timothy Harrington, Secretary of tho League, announced that tho orgnizing
counsel would implore the tenants not to allow anything to drive them to violence, which would bo to play into the enemy's hands. Hepobts from tho flooded districts in Hungary show that despair and distress is everywhere prevalont, and the homes of those who have fled to escape tho floods have boon pillaged by night marauders, and tho people intent on saving their lives and stopping tho overflow of tho waters are powerless to prevent tho removal of their property. Tho towns of Mako and Yasarhly aro in imminent

In the oaso of Prudenco Lodge, which admitted Jore Dunn and others, tho report of the Commitloo on Warrants at tho session of the Grand Lodge of Masons in New York says: "Patient and earnest search for tbe facts in this caso has sati-iied tho committee that thero wero no circumstances sufficiently ot an extenuating character to m tigate tho offense. Jero Dunn, Tom Gould, and six other equally disreputable individuals bad boen obligated at tho altar of Prudence Lodge. They wero not only mon of a disreputablo character, but were so notorious that their bunco-3toeriug, confidence operations havo been common report and food for sensational storios for years. Not to know that Tom Gould and JoreDnnn wero improper candidates for Masonic affiliations was to confess an utter iguoranco of affairs too improbable to bo accepted even by a very credulous person. Nevertheless those persons havo received thoir Masonic degrees in due and anciont form in a lodge rating 203 uiombers, any ono of whom at any time whatever during tho progress of tho conferring of tho degrees, as tho Masonio law places an enforced mtorval of two weeks between oaeh degree, couid by hia own simple act have stopped and prevented its occurroiico and this dosociation of (he pure altar of Froe-inaioiuy."

About the only topic discussed in London, except the Irish question, which is always with us, is tho approaching Jubilee, writes Mr. Robert P. Porter from London. Although I have been in the country less than a week, the very word Jubilee has become distasteful. Everything you buy is labeled Jubilee. Your suspenders, your collars, your cuffs, your cravats, your hat, your toothbrush, have a crown and the word Jubilee worked or painted upon them. Columns o the daily journals are devoted to advertising word competitions and other devices for extracting the pennies, the shillings and the pounds from the pookets 6f a loyal people for Jubilee purposes. Tho present may be termed a period of assessment.

The Royal Household. There is a big force of attendants, probably 1,000, at Windsor Costlo. At the head of the household forces is the Lord Steward, with a salary of 10,000 i, year, appointed by the Prime Minister, and therefore a political official. He is commander-in-chief of every employe in the household, except the ladies directly about the person of the Queen, the religions staff and the stable corps. He appears at court on state occasions, and appoints all his subordinates. His lieutenant is the master of the household, who receives 1,200 a year, and has a private secretary at a good salary. Next comes the lord treasurer of the household, who pays tho bills and gets a salary of 1,000 a year. These three constitute the board of creen cloth, and sit as judges of all offenses committed in the palace; and to assist them and keep the record they have one secretary at $1,500 a year ins it would be in American money) and three accounting clerks at $1,000 each. Then there is the clerk of the kitchen at $3,300 a year, the chef at the same, and his four assistant cooks at $1,750 each, the chief confectioner at $ 1,500 and his assistant at $1,2C0, the chief butler at $2,500, the table decker at $1,000, and his assistants at salaries somewhat iess. Thero are also yeomen of tho pauaies, ladies of the linen room and a vast array of chambermaids, lamp-lighters, washers, etc. The coal department alone employs thirteen persons. Directly about her Majesty's person are the mistress of the robes, the groom of the robes, the keeper of tbe private purse, or financial secretary to tho
Queen, eicht maids of honor, as many
bed-chamber women and numerous maids for other functions all these under control of the lord chamberlain, who receives SlO.000 a vear and is assisted by the groom
of the stole. Next to tho ladies who attend Hirantlv nn rhn Onean come the centlenien
March I 0f the private household, viz: Eight lords
in waiting, as many grooms in waiting and divers gentlemen ushers of the privy chamber, grooms of the privy chamber, grooms of the great chamber and pages of the back stairs. In short, life at the court, even hi the most ordinary times, is carried on with inch ponderous" social machinery and routine that it almost makes one tired to hear of it. But, in addition to all these, there are two distinct sots of officials for extraordinary occasions with independent functions and different oodes of ceremonial and etiquette. At the head cf .one of these is the marshal of the ceremonies. He manages the etiquette on the state occa-

the
Victoria's Domestic KolaUons. Victoria was in her eiabteenth year when she became Queen. William IV. died on June 20, and the English dignitaries went before daylight to announce to Princess Victoria her accession, and it is related that she ctraia out in her night dress, a shawl around her and her feet in slippers, and it was at once decided to call a privy council meeting for 11 o'clock in the forenoon, when the new Queen took the cor
onation oath, ine puouo coronauuu, uu the most brilliant pageantry of modern times, did not take place until the next June, and on the 28th day of that month, 1838, the great ceremonies took place. According to royal etiquette it is necessary for the
Queen to maKe me nrst sugnOB"" n riage. This she did late in 1839, and in iini,M,om 1840. she was married to her
cousin. They had long been lovers, and they
were a most aevoiea coupie. xuo a. Consort died suddenly in 1861, leaving nine children, seven of whom are Btill alive. The Queen was utterly disconsolate, and for years lived in the closest seclusion. In foctshe so closely secluded herself that her subjects have found a great deal nf fault with her on this ground. During
her married life the Queen spent nearly all of the time at Balmoral, their country seat in the highlands of Scotland. The royal residence, as established by law and usage, is Windsor Castle. This palace is east of Windsor, a city of 12,000 inhabitants, twenty-three miles from London. This oastle was the home of tho Baxon kings as long as 1,000 years ago. Tho castle proper was founded by William tho Conqueror, but almost entirely rebuilt by order of Edward III., the architect being the noted William of Wykehnm, and, ia 1824-8, the edifice was finally and completely remodeled under the direction of Sir Geoffrey Wyatville. Half a mile from Windsor Castle is tne small palace of Progmore, which was the residence of Queen Charlotte and of Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent Despite the royal splen-
eniovment of the fine arts and
fullness of loving family happiness. It is when we come to this bright time, so full of fresh interest and of a delightful freedom, that we have the advantages of the Queen's own "Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands." Her viit to Edinburgh in 1842, and the drive by Birnain and Aberfeld to Toymouth, and the splendor of the reception, when amid the oheers of a thousand Highlanders and the wild notes of the bagpipes, she was welcomed by Lord Breadalbane, evidently stirred every feeling of romance. "It seemed," she wrote, "as if a great chieftain of olden feudal times was receiving his sovereign." It appeared like a new world when, throwing off for a time the restrictions of state, she found herself at Blair two years afterward, climbing the great bills of Athol, and from the top of Tulloch looking forth on the panorama of mountain and glen. "It was quite romantic;

deputies, UCHlUUS WW BUrT.uxm uaw utfcvtaries. Tho foregoina cives but a mere outline of the system. There are departments of music, amusement, medicine, charity, and literature, in all of which liberal salaries aro paid. Buckingham Palace, tho London royal residenoe, is also maintained on an elaborate scale. I.tfo at Halmoral. The life of her Majesty is matted by three stages her youth, her married life, and her widowhood. Each is bound to each by tho tie of a consistent growth passing through those experiencees which ore typical of God's education of His children, whether high or low, rich or poor. Her childhood, with its wise education, is very much tho key to her after-life. Possessed naturally of a quick intellectual capacity and an unusually accurate memory, a taste for music and tho arts, and a deeply affectionate heart, sho was admirably brought up by her mother, the Duchess of Kent, on whom tho training of the future Queen devolved from her infancy. If the education was as high as it was possible to afford a young and intelligent spirit, the moral influences wero equally beneficial. Tho young Princess, instead of being isolated within the formalities of a court, was allowed to tieoome acquainted with tho wants and sufferings of the poor, and to indulge her sympathies by giving them personal help. The contrast was a ureal one between tho Court of
George IV., or even that of William, unit the truly English homo where the Duchess of Kent nurtured this sweet life in all that was simple, loving, and pure. Thero could scarcely havo beeu a hotter school for an affectionate nature. Without touching on the earlier pened
here we were with only this Highlander behind us holding the ponies; not a house, not a creature near us but the pretty Highland sheep, with their herns and black faces. It was the most delightful, most romantio ride and walk 1 over had." These early visits to Scotland inspired her with her love of the Highlands and the Highlanders. She found there quite a world of poetry. The majestic scenery, the fresh, bracing air, the pioturesqueness of the kilted gillies, the piping and the dancing, and the long days among the heather, recalled scenes whioh Sir Walter Scott has glorified for all time, and whioh are speoially identified with the fortunes of the unhappy Stuarts. We do not wonder at the attachment felt by tho royal pair for Balmoral. The Highlands have a charm whioh every healthy mind must acknowledge. The sportsman and the tourist confess it when they rush from tbe crowded town and the cares of business, or from the tamer beauties of cultured binds, to enjoy a "bath of liberty" on
SANDMNGHAM PAIiACB. the fresh seas and lochs of the Western Hebrides or among tho vast solitudo of tbe Grampians. It was here that tho Queen and the Prince Consort enjoyed for more than twelve years a delightful freedom, mingling with their people, devising the wisest methods for insurinc tl eir well-being, going with them to worship in thoir plain (very plain!) parish church, and being to each and all unaffectedly sincere friends. Every spot around soon became consecrated by some sweet ossociation. Her life at Balmoral, since her gront sorrow, maintains, as fat as may be, tho traditions of the happy past.

The women in and for eight or ton miles around Anderson are just boiling over with wrath, because the terrible roaring ot. the immense gas well at that village has been more disastrous to the egg crop 0 the loudest thunder ever heard. Not an egg will hatch, and even the old hens refuse to lay, the noise being so great that the biddies become so bewildered that they cannot return to their nests, and even forget to put a shell on the eggs.
