Tlic groatost event in the UlOlDory of thin generation, the most BtUpondoUS change in existing conditions that could possibly bo imagined, has taken place quietly, almost gently, upon the miniver sary of the death of Queen Victoria's lather, the Duke of Kent. The end ol this career, never equalled by any woman in the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in Osbornc house This most respected | of all women, living or dead, lay in a great four-posted bed and made a BUTUUkOU atom, whose aged face and ! figure were a cruel mockery of the fair I girl who in ls;j? began to rule over England. Around her were gathered a'most every descendant of her Hue Well within in view of her dying eyes there hung a portrait of the prince consort It was lie who designed the room and every part of the castie. In scarcely audible words the white haired bishop of Winchester prayed beside her, as he had often prayed with his sovereign, for he was her chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruler of the Gorman umpire and the man who now is klug of England, the woman who has succeeded to the title of queen, the princes and tlmse oi less ti.au royal designation, listened to the bishop's ceaseless prayer. Six o'clock" passed. Tho bishop con j tinucd his intercession One of tho youngest children asked a question in a shrill childish treble and was immediate ly silenced. The women 01 the royal family sobbed faintly and the men shuf Hud uneasily. At exactly 6;510 Sir .lames Hold held up bis hand, and the people in the room knew that England lies lost her queen. The bishop pro nounced the benediction. The queen passed away quite peace fully. She Buffered no pain. Those who were now mourners went to their rooms A lew minutes later the in evitable element of matei ialism stepped into this pathetic chapter of Interna tiona) history, for the court ladies went busily to work ordering their mourning from London. Tue wheels of tho world! were jarred when the announcement came but in this palace at Osboruc everything pur sued the usual d misc. Down in the kitchen they were cooking a huge (.lin ner for an assemblage, the like of which has seldom been known in F.ng land, and the dinner preparations pro cceded just as ?' uothing had happoncd VICTOKIA'S I.i i K AND FAMILY.

WONDRHS OP TUB VICTORIAN BRA. Atlanta Constitution. When 'he young girl of eighteen came to a throne tainted by the OcorgOS it re quired nothing short of the presence of a pure woman for the disinfection of English society The Tudors were the culmination of the English monarchy; the Stuarts united the whole island under one Hag ; under the Georges the assumptions of an irresponsible aristo craoy spent themselves, and the England of to day was evolved. Elizabeth Whetted ti. . pride and enterprise of the Englishman, Cromwc 1 gave him a sori outness of purpose, and William of Orange served as a butler between the old monarchical claimants and the new The Georges lost the best of the colonies, through which England learned the valuable lesson as lo how to treat her dependencies. The literary glories of the Elizabethan era had been reinforced by those of the eighteenth century. When Victoria came Bhe placed the evil record of tho Georges behind her, she found tho united country of the Stuarts loyal,the sturdinessof Cromwell pervading her yeomanry, and tho spirit of Elizabeth directing her ships on every sea. Bettor than all, she found in train Ing the young statesman Gladstone, whose public life was to bo almost coin cident with hei own, with Disraeli fol lowing, who was to place the imperial insignia of India upon her hrow, and such men as Brougham, Shafteshury, I'almerston and others readv m t... r?. 8ponaiblo*for tho burdens of oillco It may bo laid that tho sovereign do HorveH but little for her participation in tho work done by others. The man or tho woman who encourages great deeds is entitled to BOtnO of the credit of their performance .':.-toria was wise in that she always recognized the popular will, and called into her service tho ropro 8cntativcs of popular adoration. Five times sho recognized the great popular party of England by sending for Mr Gladstone. l)istasteful to hoi person ality as he was said to be, she novcr failed to sco in him the choioo of the masses of England. Under Victoria democratic government in Kngland has become a fact. No fat are monarch can withdraw the precedents by which sho acknowledged parliamentary spuromacy. and emphasized tho responsibility of ministerial rule. Tho franchlso has boon so extended that it has almost reached tho manhood basis Religious intol erance has disappeared, so thai a Roman Catholic has sat as chief Justico of tho empire, and another held the vice-royalty of India, a personal appointment of the sovereign. Now Englands havo grown up in Australia, Canada, Now Zealand and elsewhere, all self governing. One of tho last acisof the sovereign, on Now Year's day, was her recognition < of the Commonwealth of Australia, an act equal lo that of her grandfather, George ill, whon ho rccognlr d the Indopen ounce of the Amcricau colonies, with the significant difl" roncothat the former was as voluntary as the latter was ro luctant Victoriii, then was great lu '?er ability to recognize the popular will, in bonding to the circumstances of events, and in recognizing that England was a . rowing rather than a decadent body. 1 irough the peace of her reign, her kindly patron age and her recognition of the captains of progress whether in religious, civil, military, Industrial or literary life, she has helped others to succeed, anil in duced all to contribute to the greatness of the empire and the good of tiie world. II KK At i KSSloN TO TUR TU RON K. Victoriii whs awakened out of a doop sleep at ft o'clock in tho morning of June 20, 1^ !7, to learn that she was quoon of England. Shu received the news c ad in her nightgown, her hare feet in sleepers and her hair failing loosely over her shoulders, On that eventful morning she was a young girl. Only twenty-seven days before, on May Jlth, she had celebrated her eighteenth birth day, whi n she became legally of RgOi King William IV had died at '2 a. m. In Windsor, three hours before Victoria was notified of her accession 111 Ken sillgtOU palace, where she lived with her mother, the duchess of Kent. In ex pectation of the king's death a carriage had been kept ready at Windsor. As soon as the king bieathed his last tti? archbishop ol Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain, hold Conyngbam, left the death chain her anil entering the carriage were driven with all speed to Ken.-ing ton, Victoria bad retired the night be fore with no thought of the vast change that a few hours would make in her lite. ! Kensington pa'ace was grasped in a slumber when the two emissaries arrivcJ. What followed is told in the ?' Diary of a Lady of Qunlity " in this way : ?'Thoy knocked, they rung, they thumped for a considerable time before they CO aid rouse the porter at lue gate ; : they were Again kept waiting lu the court yard, then turned into one of the lower rooms, where they seemed to be forgotten by everybody. They rang the bell ami desired that the attendants of the Princess Victoria might be sent to inform her royal highness that they re quested an audience on business of im portance ' After another delay and another riuglng to Inquire the cause, the atten dant was suiiunnncd, who slated that the princess was in such a sweet sleep that she could not venture to disturb her. ?? Then they said: 'Wo are come on business of state to the queen, and oven her sleep must give way to that ' It did ; an.il from ttiat she did not keep them waiting. Ina few moments she. came into tho room iu a loose while nightgown and shawl, her nightcap throw a off and her hair falling upon her shoulders, her feel in slippers, tears in her eyes, but perfectly collected aud dignified." The attendant, notwithstanding the urging of the visitors, had not awakened Victoria, hut hail called her mother. The duchess of Kent had aroused the young girl aud sent her alone into tho room where Lord Couyngham and the Archbishop were waiting. The Lord Chamberlain knelt down and presented a paper to the astonished girl, annouo cing the death of her uncle and notify ing her that she was his successor. The girl could say nothing, and the arch bishop announced that he had come by desire of Queen Adelaide, widow of King William, who wanted Victoria to know of the peaceful death of her uncle The queen's first words were addressed to the primate She said : " I beg your grace to pray for me," which he did. TUB I'RINCK or II RR CHOICE. Prince Albert, it is said, bad been in love with hiscou9in for at least a couple of years before she proposed to him. Gossips even alllrmed that the marriage had beim suggested when he was a mere child of two, and that the common nur sery talk at that time was about his little bride in England, "the sweet May flower." Anyhow, the queen gave her heart, and her whole heart, to her handsome cousin of Saxe Coburg. Hhe always re garded the prince's marriage with her in the light of a sacrilice, and often spoko of it in that way. After her bethrothal she wrote to her Uncle Leopold, the then king of tho Belgians, " I love him (Prince Albert) more than I can say, and shall do everything in my power to render this sacrilice - for such in my opinion it is?as small as I can." Then the archbishop of Canterbury suggested to the queen that perhaps she might like to have the words " to obey " in the marriage service altered, on the occasion of her own wedding. " No " was the decisive reply; '? I wish tobe married as a woman, not as a queen." When Prince Albert, as he placed the ring 00 Iiis bride's finger, repeated the words, " With all my wordly goods I ! thee endow," the queen, who could ap predate humor as well as dignity, found it impossible to repress an arch smile.

Wobator, the composer was a bou of tlie South, where mocking birds, orange blossoms, wild r. ses and snov y cotton fields till up the measure of the Heeling year. He was finely educated; bad a pe , CUliarly sensitive mind destined by im ! lure as well as art to preach the goncr j ous and God-given gospel of the meek I and lowly Na/.arino. After graduating, his first church was . at i'ittsburg, amid an aristocratic sect of I that working and educate ! community. His congregation was made up largely I of wealthy miners and manufacturers I who turned out millions <<f tOOS of ceal, iron, glass and machinery. The Hev. Homer Webster was young, \ handsome, faithful and eloquent, just i SUOh a minister as the fathers respected, i the mothers adored and the girls went 1 wild over. Between prayor meetings, weddings, baptisms, funerals and preaching the young minister was kept busy perform ing his sacerdotal duties, placing Iiis soul lit thoughts on hoaveu, while his impulsive and loving heart could not cb cape the invisible arrows of Cupid ? Who is ever quick and cunning With bis passion ammunition. Is always going " gunning ;" And devoid of all contrition . A wealthy glass manufacturer, belong ing to the congregation, had an only daughter, " Loruna, who was the pride and joy of thu family and a dovotod worker In the church. Sunday school, with a class of poor hoys anil tirls, ah SOrbod her ardent attention on Sabbath mornings, and the hick aud dying in Squalid hovels or humble cots found her a ministering angel, a walking bcnodlc ; lion. Such a co worker was at once a joy and afliuity to the young parson, aud thrilled him with love at first sigh' ! His secret devotion was reciprocated, if long ing eyes, blushing che ks and fervent : hand-clasps are indicative signs of allec lion "Lorona" had rich lovers by the score, and there was never a dinner or tea lit the grand mansion on Allegheny Heights that was not graced by the fashion and manhood of the Smoky City. Kich and rare were the gems she wore. Bho did not seem to eare for the dashing " b'oods " who sought her hand, and while her proud father and fashion able mot ho r endeavored to match her with a young millionaire iron master, their insinuating efforts did not meet with much success in the tirst dawnillgs I of love. Modesty and grace were the handmaids of " Lorcua. ever onchant | ing companions to truth and virtue. To the outward world, when the young ; minister and herself met in home, j church or streets, she was always the ' devotee of religion and the polished, benevolent lady, but deep down in her woi mn's heart she loved the poet priest with as much devotion as ever lleloise bestowed on the lofty Abelard. Eternal pi onuses passed between them, and the lovers patiently waited tilt hour when fashion, wealth and pa rents' consent would crown their hap piness. I Fate stepped In, and to BaHsfy her dy I ing father and porsistont, proud mother, , she drowned the love of her BOUl and I tearfully married the millionaire She imagined that her duty to her pa I rents was supreme, and thus broke the I tie of love and nature, making two hearts miserable forever. In a few years she pined away anil died of a broken heart, another victim to a false seme of duty and fashionable pride. Iho minister soon left the cold, chill ing blasts of the North drifted to Geor gia, and when the guns at Fort Bumtcr roared the echoes of the rebellion and death knell of shivery Webster enlisted in support of the "Stars and liars," and tried to smother the dying embers of his lirst love amid the crash of batt'e and pomp and circumstance of glorious war. The poet priest tried to ''forgot" his sorrow, hut that was impossible, as is shown in the following beautiful song evolved from the rippling rills and groon vales of remembrance.

Mom; AND BETTER SOIL. Mr. J. B. Huuuicutt, of Georgia, who 13 known to our readers as the author ot a number of very practical fanning articles, has in a recent i-sue of the Si mi hern Cultivator a strom; article on "More ami Hotter Soil.' It is a good subject for our funnels to think over these winter nights, ami we pub- | lish Mr. Hunnicutl's letter in lull be ll iw: The fouu latiou of all ami lasting success in forming must be laid in a belter soil. The soil is the farmer's bank. Into this bank he must make constant deposits ol active, working capital if he expects success. Hence it is all important that every fanner should thoroughly understand what his soil is aud bow he can improve it. For llic past eighteen months we have been discussing this question in a more or less desultory manner and while Ibis (liscUSSioU lias not been al together vam yet we arc painfully aware that a great many have not yet been fully awakened lo its real mean ing. Therefore at the risk of repeat ing we will discuss the question once more. "Line upon line, precept upon precept" is slill demanded. Indeed our very effort to explain the nature and powers of soil has taught us much of real value. "Day unto day ultcrcth speech, tlight unto night showeth knowledge," and each selling.sun has lelt us wiser than when the day begun; the same is true of each student ol nature's wondrous ways. WHAT IS sol r? Without umlortnkiug to give an exact Bciotitiile answer WO desire to say as it relates to farming, it is tho top of the earth and its plant food C '.tents. There is no specific lino of demarcation between soil and subsoil. The depth of the soil at any particular place, is not a fixed quantity, but may lfe in creased or decreased at the will of the runner by hia methods of treatment. When the top of the earth is loosened up the air and sunshine ami water circulate through it and make soluble the nincrul elements of plant lifo which everywhere abound. While there are foUltOOU of these element found in all plants, there are only three ol thcni that, particularly concern the fanner. Nature will look after the others. Tho three an;: Potash, phosphoric acid, and lime, and these, are found in ample quantities in all soils; indeed there is about nine thou sand dollars worth of tin in in every average acre of land taken to the depth of three feet. Hut in thoiv I native condition they arc insoluble, for plants cannot use solids, but only j liquids, their food must be fed to them I in solution in water. KU II AND l'O?II SOIL. What wo call rich soil (iocs not con t-tin more of those essential olotucnts j of plant food than what wo e.dl poor , soil. Bui tlioy arc in soluble condi I lion in llie poor soil. They are made soluble by pulverization; if the soil he made line it becomes rich. It is a question of mechanical condition and not a question of mineral composition. The rich loam of bottom iands is made up from the line particles taken from the poor hillsides ami carin ii by the water and deposited on the bottom ' land. If WO can make the hillsides as line us these bottom lauds the soil will be equally as rich. Wu mean to say that each farmer can make his soil deeper and richer simply by plowing ! uccpor and pulverizing liner. Till. Ii KAI. CONDITION. The actual present condition of the average farm is about as follows: First, three or four inches of more or less badly plowed so-called soil. The plowing has been done when the ground was too wot. The sunshine ami the winds have dried the. little lumps ol earth into millions of what we. may properly call sun dried brick bats. Tho brick-bats an- utterly incapa ble of furnishing any plant food to the growing crops. If you wish to know what part of your Holds arc composed of this material lake a line sifter and sift your soil. Only that part I hat goes through the Siftor is lit to be called soil or is ready to furnish plant f.I. The rest is useless until purveri/.cd so that the average crop only has about one inch of soil upon which to draw its food. Below this three or four inches is found six or eight inches of compact earth which for convenience we call hard-pan. It has received this name because it is loo hard for water to circulate freely through it either by gravity or capillarity. It is also loo hard for the little, feeding rootlets of growing plants lo pencilnto. Hence it is worth very little il anything to the growing crop. Hut this hard-pan is llllcd with phosphoric acid, potash ami lime, the three great mineral ele ments of plant life. Hut though at present they are locked up so far as the plant is concerned ami below this hard-patl the earth is sulliciently porous for the upward and downward circul ation of water, ami for the growth of plant roots. WHAT \VK CAN AND OUOIIT TO !><>. Now a liltle study will make il clear that the first duty of every farmer is to quit plowing bis laud w he i il is wot and quit making sun-dried brick lints and proceed at once, to mash every one be has made by the repealed use] of plows, harrows and rollers. Next, he should proceed to break up this hard-pan and make possible the free circulation of the water, air and sun shine and the free growth of plant roots. By doing this he will almost indefinitely increase the depth of his soil, almost indefinitely increase the richness of his crop, almost indefinite ly increase the profit of bis fanning.

The hard-pan is a creature of our own manufacture made by our foils and ignorance, it is an intcrfcrcuei with all good farming. Hence it is our first duty tO proceed lo remove it at once. No farmer should 1)0 satis fied with less than llftcctl indies ot well pulverized soil. This depth ol *oil will make possible such crops as we have not been nccustomcd to gathering. What wo call our poor upland farms With fifteen inches of soil can be math to produce from 50 to 100 bushels ol com per acre, from ?'!<) lo ?0 bushels of wheat, from 00 to 100 bushels of oats, from 1 lo - b des of cotton; and 80 on of other crops. II you doubt this, try to prove it false. Prepare any given number of acres with fifteen inches of seil and plant any crop you ploa ic upon them ami make a fair lest. Of course you can u-o on soils thus prepared all the manure and feitili/.eis you may be able to raise or are willing to buy.
