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

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

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

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

of the empire and the good of tiie world.

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.

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.

While convalescing from a Bovero
wound, received tit the battle of Kenne
Buw Mountain, Georgia, on the 27th of
June, 1804, I met tit the ofllcors' bo?pittil
tit Louisville, Ky.. Adjutant Nichols, of
the n h renusylvauia cavalry, who re
lated to me tho pathetic story of the ro
mantic love of the Rev. Homer Webster,
; the author of one of the most beautiful
I songs ever composed in America
"Lorona" was composed and pub
I lished during our late civil war and whs
i Bung around the camp tires of both tho
i Blue and the Grey alike mimic speaking
I in all languages and loVO ideals cherish
od by friends and foes in all lands and
climes.
\N o may forget ilic sinner, but we can't
forget ttic song.
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. I have been try
ing to secure the song for the past year
and at last found it in a torn and halter
ed condition, published by John C.
Schreiner, Macon, Ga.. May. 1804, The
reader, and particularly the old soldiers,
will he glad to see again a heart ballad,
composed in the dark vale of disap
pointed love. It will strike a tender
chord in every loving soul

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.
Whit we meal) lo say is tins; the
Lord has made the. earth rich. He

Tin; MoitMON Taih.kn.u i.i;- A
visitor to Salt Lake. City describes the
great MormOII Tabernacle and its fa
mous choir of 500 voices as follows:
To the stranger n. /.ion tliis labor
nacle i> a constant source of wonder.
From the OUtsido the immense build
ing with its curved roof looks like a
giant, sleeping turtle; within, a ceil
ing without visible support other than
the walls, arches over seats CUOUgll to
accommodate 13,000 people comfort
ably. It is a marvel of engineering
and architecture, and the ilia was
evolved from the fertile brain ol
llrighnm Young. The acoustics of the
structure are unequalled, and no
prilgritu in this land of the Litter dn\
.-iiiints can forgcl the experience of
standing in the gallery at one end ol
tin long building ami hearing the
sound of a dropping pin on the speak
er's table at the. other end.
In this fact lies the secret of the
power and beauty of Tabernacle mil
sic. Nowhere does harmony reach its
lulluess and purity in the degree that
it does here. A quaver in a single
voice or one false tone Cftlllint csc.ip ?

choir must be near to perfection. In
ten years of lovable leadership Prof.
Kvan Stephens has brought his .".()() or
