LIFE OF TUE rBlCE COS

THh FINANCE BILL. ITlSSiaSKDBV THE I'll ES ID EST UK SENDS WITH JT MMK KKC0MMKSDAT10SS fL'KTHEK I.tOlEAIION NEH1KD. Wasuisoion, D. C, Jan. 14. The president sect to the Senate to-day the following ti.esage, acctinr panyinfr his approval of the vow finar.c9 bill: To tbe Hecate of the United mates': Senate bill No. 1 044, to provide for the resumption of 8;ecie payments, is before me, and thij day receives my signature of approval. I venture upon thia unusual method ol conveying notice of approval to tue bouse iü which the measure

originated, becan-e of its ereat importance to the country at lare, and in order to suggest further Jegfalati u which seems to me necessary to make thij law t ffectnal. It is a subject nf ceugratulation'tbata measure has become a law which fixes a dite when specie resuoip'ion hall nommenco and imDÜes an obligation on the part ot oongrPea, if i'. is in its power, to give Mich legislation as may pi ove necessary to redeem this promise. To thia end I respectfully call your attention to a lew suguestioca: 1st, the necessity for an Increased revenue to cmy ou: the obl'galion of adding to the linking fund annually 1 per cert t the public debt, amounticg now to ?34 ,000,000 per annum, and to crry cut the promises of this measure to redeem under certaiu contingencies se.000,000 of tbe present legal teuders, and without circulation of the practical cur; reucy no w in consultation. How to increase th fiurplni revenue ia for congress to devine, but I will venture to suggest that the

duty on tea and ocfjte mlnt be restored without permanently advancing the cost to consumers and that the per cent reduction of the tariff on the articles peciried in tbe law of June 6, 1872, be repealed. Tbe supply ot tea and coffee already oa hand in tbe United Sratea would in all probability be advanced in price by adopting this measure. But it i known that tbe adoption of a free entry to these articles of necessity did not cheapen them, but merely added to the profit ot tbe countries producing them, or of middle men in those conn tries who have an exclusive trade ia them. Second; the lirst section of the bill under consideration provides that TH E FRACTIONAL CURRENCY sha!l be redeemed in silver coin aa rapidly as practicable. There is no provision preventin a fluctuation in the value of the paper currency. With gold at a premium of anything over 10 pef cent, above tbe currency in Use it is probable, almost certain that silver would be bought up for exportation as f t as it ws put out, until change woulJ bveorae no scarce as to make the trwraium on it equal to the rrfniuui on pcld, or auflicieutly Llb to make it no longer profitable to buy ior export, thereby causing a direct loss lo the oouimucily at lrge aud great embarrassment to trade. As the present law commands a final resump

tion on the 1st of January, 1879, and as the cold receipts by tbe treasury are

larger than the gold payments and

currency receipts than Ihe currency

payment, thereby making monthly salea of

Kola necessary m meet toe current expenses, it occurs to ii ih that these difiiculiies might

be rendered bv authorizing the sccretarvof

the treasury u redeem legal tender i-o'es

whenever )roenttd in sums of not less than 5100 aii l multiples thereof, at premium for gold ot ten percent, less interest at a rate of two and a half percent, per annum

frjm the li of January, 1875, todate.putIr.gth'slaw into operation and diminishing this premium at same rate until the final resumption, fhargiua the rate of prerain u

ROYALTY AT HOME. QUEEN VICTORIA NEW J!OrK THE

VCI.UME OF "TIU son r."

A Ijoud n letter to the Nc-v York Times givca a limrs-e ol tbe chartc'or of th9 new book just written by the queen's elirectiou: The lirst voiu ne of "The Life cf tbe Trhice

C''us--jrt" has j.ist apne.ired, and is having, T j hear.it great fale. On the title page i; is' äta fd : be by Ihecd ire Maitin, but is , "known to have Lee a written at thedesire and urder iheproral ui.erv ision of the queen, and it eot-sist, t.j a 16 extent, of fxttacts from the private journal which she has kepi i'ICe hhe wa- a girl. Mr. Marlin lihil no persouul knowledge of the

prince, anu mis, in b:c , oniy oi-en etupioyeu ks a ?ot of amanuensis "to write-to the fjaten,ü dictation. 'J ho lifo may, therefore, lid rfg.irdKl as practiallj the queen's own book. We are told, among other things, th.it in order to encoura iresco painting the prince de'ermiiied to have it applied iir the dteioration of a summer hou'-e or pavilion, in the cardeu oi Buck inj ''.am pilace. V.. Lsnds?er, ' Maclisp, Ilewins. Eestldkc, Sir W. It jss, lyce and Stanfield received coiuud-sions and vied with eachother in proiucing a series of eight lunettes in ii!utartiou of "Milton' "Comus." The truth is that the artists in question w.-re made to paint valuable pictures for a nominal price, and that some of them folt so much itisulte d by the paltry earns that were offered them Ly the prince, that they sent beck bis "hecks. Indeed, throughout bis whole life, artists were in terror lest he Bbould take a faucy to a picture, a? it would have to be given up to him lor a mere song. And this is said to have happened even

when the pictures had been already sold at a good figure. With musicians, I lancy, be get on better than with painters; but with the latter he was, both on account of bis shabblce and superciliousness, and especially bis ignorance of art.always in bad odor. Tbe lifei", ot course, uniformly and exten

sively lauditory.bat it 1 impassible altogether to conceal some of the .WKAKSKSS OK IIIS CHARACTER. He was undoubtedly a qood husband aud father, he wa patieut and industrious in tbe diachafge ot his troublesome duties, and he led an amiable and decorous lite. He was loyal in bis devotion to his wife, managed her housenold efücienlly and economically, and generally gaveber very sensible advice. If fce had been a greater or stronger man he would, perhaps, -have been less successful in filling-his peculiar position. lie was of a cold, priggish, prosy character, and deficient in animal spirit, lie knew

nothing, for Instance, or tbe sportsman's passion. He went out stag shooting

with tbe same placid equanimity as that

with wblcä be played cards or billiards.

The queen waa very angry that, on one occasion, .when ha went out hunting, it should

have been a matter or general remark astonishment that be rode boldly, but this

surprise indicated a characteristic defect

which it was impossible to Ignore. From the first there were svmptomsof weakness and effieminacy in tbe prince's character.

Fancv a young man about to be married

to a nice young woman, who bappens to be als a qu en, bemoaning his sad fate in the

way the prince does to the queen just before he leaves borne: 'Think o! my position lam leaving home, with all its old asso

ciations, all my bosom friends, and going

to a country in which everything is new and t-trjiige io me men, language, customs, modes ot life, position. Except yourself I

have no one to confide in." It is evident that he is very much what is called a

"m ssy" young man, and as be grew older

this side of his character was developed by

the want of male friends. The idea thai the

prince was v NARROW AND ILLIBERAL

in political matters was apparently urjust. He was a strong-minded man, and seems to

have been apt to get frightened, but bis feelings and ' opinions were, on tbe whole, libera!. A great outcry was raised when Humboldt's letter was 'published in 18ol, attributing to him the phrase thatthe Pt lea were as little deserving of sympathy as the Irish, by which he no doubt meant

only that they were both highly inipracti

cable. In one of his private letters, written

at the partition of Poland, we Und him say

ing: "Tnere is a treat deal of stupidity in

the world. Sooner would I bsve been

burned alivolhan have mado such a declara

tijn." It is clear at least that ho had no sympathy with tbe dep.ts. Perhaps the

tnoii i nter a.-' ing ptrtsof the book are those

v tracts irotn tue queen's journal which

mrow ngnt upon the freshness and aim-

'v ( 1 er own character. She was evl

dently delighted with Louis Philippe and

uut iu.iiiiy( and wruea wito girlish IraoK

ness.'with no stint of superlatives, of the "good, kind kihg," the "dar, excellent queen," "dear.acgelic Louise," 'eiear.ndmirahle family, all so kind and deliijiJtful.'' When Louise Philippe came to Windsor she was equally charmed, and he certainly seems to have mad himself very agreeable. So, also did the Emperor Nicholas, in Lis own way. Of the latter the queen say?: "He is certainly a very ttriking man, till

very handsome; nis pronie is Deaulilul, and bis manners,

MOfcT DIONIFIKD AND ORACKVUL,

extremely civil, quite alarmingly to, as

he is full of attentions and pclitesies. But thexpre-slon of bis eyes is severe and unlike anything I ever saw efore. lie

gives Albert and myself the impression of a

man who is r.ot happy, and on whom the

burden of bis immense piwer snd position

weighs heavily aud painfull'. He seldom

ftiniles, and wheu be does the exryesion

to tea the nouj-eto drive up to me nan

pliments to Mr. , aud tegs to say he

saye has to do with the public press." The

dukearu the queen seem always to nave

been on very aueciionate terms, perhaps

because bo took her part iu the controversy

about tho prince s position.

Among the 1,100 prisoners in the penitentiary, says the Ohio State Journal, there are

a good many men aud women who?e his

A lew weeks ago be received a letter lrom his mother, iu Germany, in which was enclosed a list of his share of tbe household effects, bis mother having broken up housekeeping and divided the goods. It' was a long list of tine watches, jewelry and other

dent occurred at Winchester Wednesday evening. Mrs. Curtis Harris, of that

place, wen known to many oi our.

readers, in placing a coal oil lamp

cn tbe mantle, leit it insecure, when it fe

on tbe heated stove and was broken to atoms. The fluid saturating the clothing of

the children as well as. that of tbe mother

was immediately ignited, and before assla

tance could bo had, one of the children was

so badly injured that it died in two hours af

terward. Another was shockingly burned

but will probably recover. The motJaer was

also considerably injured. bt. joskph coujrrr.

Last Saturday night tho Baptist Church at South Cend was partially destroyed by

fire. The Hamen, which cauaht from the

chimney, followed up the tower, and the

scene is thus described by tbe Tribune: A strong wind was bJow ing, interfering with

the force of the streams thrown upon tb

fire by the engines, and the cold was most

intense, the thermometer indicUing 10 de

croes below ze.ro. Much ot tho water con

gealed while still in the air, aud fell to tbe

ground in. the form of nan, and the roof was quickly a glare of ioe, making it impossible for the men to gain a lootiDgupon it.
