Cold Facts About Mary Stuart.

Some time in the sixteenth century there flourished a Queen of Scotland called Mary Stuart, linmor says that she was good-looking, but such detailed information as can be obtained tends to throw a doubt on the point. If she had lived in the present day she would probably have figured in the divorce court, and might have been indicted as an accessory to the murder of her own husband. She harbored designs avowedly hostile to the Government of this country, and the Government of this country, which was also a woman, having the luck to get hold of her, clapped her into prison. She continued to plot against the said Government and was put to death. The dowager Marchioness of Huntly is now running a woman’s tercentenary offering to the memory of this exemplary female, and invites subscriptions of from one shilling to ten shillings for the purpose. I don’t know why any Englishwoman of the nineteenth century should contribute to such an object; but, if any do, I hope, with the light of another woman’s offering upon us, the testimonial will take the form of a statue of Lord Darnlev.— London Truth.
