LIFE AND TIMES OF
QUEEN VICTORIA.
The Changes in Govern?
ments?Development of
?oience aod Art.
From Tbe Newa and Courier
Victoria Alexandria wao born at
Kensington Palrce, May 24, 1819
She waa the only child of tbe Duke
of Kent, the fourth eon of George
III. and the Princess Louisa Victoria
of Haxe Coboorg Her parents, who
bad been for some time residiog
abroad, hastened to England jost be
fore her birth in order tnst their child
might "be born a Briton" Tbe
' Duko of Kent died a few months after
i tbe birth of his daogbter, aod the
genera) education of the young
Princess was directed, nnder her
mother's care, by the Duohess of
Northumbeiland Until within a few
weeks of her elevation to tbe*throoe,
her life waa spent in comparative
retirement, varied by toora through
different parts of tbe United King
dorn
Qoesn Victoria sucoeeded ber
node, William IV, Jnne 20, 1837,
and her coronation was celebrsted in
Westminster Abbey. Jane 28, 1888
00 February 10. 1840, she married
Prince Albert of Haze Coburg Gotha,
known in history aa "The Prince
Consort," by whom she bsd nine
ohildren. Prince Albert died in
1861, to the great and incoooolable
grief of tbe Queen, vrbo cherished his
memory to her dying day with the
most profoaod devotion Tbe "Leaves
from the Journal of our Life in the
Higblsndt," published by Queen
Vietoria in 1869 give a most inter
esting view of tbe privato life of the
Queen and her Princely husband ;
aod the "Life of tbe Prince Consort,"
complied onder her Majesty's direo
tion by Sir Theodore Martin, dis?
closes a picture of domestic bappt
ness rarely attained by the ocoopsnts
of thrones Prince Albert was a man
of strong mind and of a broad' aod
varied onltore, and he left a deep
impression upon English tooiety sod
politics After his death the Queen
withdrew very mnoh from public
view, though she slwsys continued
to manifest the deepest interest in
all thst coooerned tbo welfsro of her
people, and io the moral, sooial, in
tellsotnal and artistic progress of the
nation. In spite of her popolsrity
she did not entirely escspe the usual
penalties of greatness Her life was
several times attempted by crazy
fanatics (none of whom, however,
was put to death for the tressousble
crime,) and in each case she display?
ed a royal courage and dignity.
The political events of the reign
which has just closed are of too varied
and extensive a kind (o be eveu
glsnced st in the present sketch
When Queen Victorin sscended the
throne eho found Lord Melbourne in
office, snd nonw of ber prime minis
1 ters, except Lord Hoaconsficld, ever
! held so close a placu in her personal
friendship as he did Sir Robert
Peel, Lord lohn Russell, the Kail of
Derby, Lord Aberdeen' Lord Pal
|morston, Mr Gladstone, Lord Salis?
bury, Lord Roeebery and Lord Salin
; bury again also at different times
during her r?ign controlled the
Government, and through all the
striicH and vicissitudes of parti? s
which tboaa changes of edulniatre
lien Indicated, tin? Queen home her
ee l witli singular tact and discretion
Her knowledge of business was very
remarkable, aod it ie elated on high
authority that her personal attention
was never absent from the adminis
tralion of the affaire of State, and
that while yielding entirely to the
course of Oonatitutional Government,
ehe impressed her own views and
wishes very deeply upon the policy
of her various ministers Knowledge
is power, even in Courts and Cabi
nets, and a sovereign whose mind ie
a store house of political history and
precedents necessarily affects, aod
frequently in o very important degree,
the aotioo of successive generations
of ministers Thai Ibis influence in
Queen Victoria's case hae beeo so
judiciously and disoreetly exercised,
is a striking proof ber political wie
dorn

Freoob, aod its osoopatioo by Freoob

Ibe election of Louis Napoteaa as prent

aod Sardinia, by whieh the whole of ibe
Lombardo Voooliao kingdom was sab
jeotsd agaio to Aottria ; ihe uprising
aod defeat of ibe Magyars ; tbe wars
of Schleswig-Holstein aod Denmark.
Theo eame tbe "coop de etat" io
France, aod Ibe proclamation ? of
Napoleoo III ao emperor of tbe Freoob;
the war betweeo Russia aod Turkey,
aod Ibe Crimean war Another great
event was lbs abolition of serfdom io
Russsia by Alexaoder II Tbe Freoob
aod Eoglish expeditioo against China
was oot particularly creditable, for it
grew oot of tho opiom traffic. Theo

Io 1861, William I, of Prussia, was

rapidly ber military strength, Prussia
fought Austria in I860, aod defeated
ber decisively at Sadowa There was
Voneia ceded to France to be ceded to

Tbe next great eroot was tbe Franco

Congress of Berlin patebed op a peace,
aod Beaoonsfield harried home to
proclaim that he had eeoored peace
with hooor. The "reoeh Republic,

death of William of Germany, the
accession of Frederick to the Germar?

? * * *
Fidelity to her responsibilities as
sovereign was a marked sbarasisristis
of Qaees Victoria's eareor 8he was
not to sympathy with Liberal ideas, or
with aright tbst esvorsd of Radicalism
There wss evideoee of this io the
difference between bsr treatmsot of
Mr Gladstooe sod her treato?tot of Mr
Disraeli. The prssedsnts wsrs always
complied with, sod Mr Gladstots wss
authorised to form a saisistry, wbsa
the party wbisb bo led had dsfoatsd its
opponents ; hot tbs resegniiios wss
si ways reluctant, uograoioss. Thrrs
wss no aeeord between tbs greet
English Tribnos sod tbs desoeedsot of
a loog line of "German lairdiss " Mr
Disraeli was on a totally different foot?
ing. In bis sobtb wsy bs prstssdsd
tbst he sought only to know what was
her majesty's will, while Mr Gladstooe
egplsioed what was the people's plese
ore. The Qaeeo was as aotoeratis sod
as obstinate as Qneso Elisabeth bot,
like the greatest of the Todors, she
koow when and where to stop, aod
oerer went too far
Whatever else is said, there is oo
dirTeresos of agreement opon one poiot
Though she was autooratis in tempera?
ment, ibero is always the prond aod
vivifying faot that she psrified the
English Court, sod kept it pore ; that
she was (aithfal as wife, aod as
mother ; that, in fioo instssd of abut
iog the opportunities that rank and
power gave, she made herself a bright
sod beauteous itlustratioo of all that,
io womanhood, is noblest aod highsit,
most grsoious and bast.

Hazing Will be Stopped.
Washington, January 21 ?The
GougreesioDal committee that investi?
gated hazing conditions at West
Point will make a report tomorrow
and recommend legielation which
they believe will result in the aboli?
tion of hazing for all time at the
Academy. The committee will find
that the inquiry developed that haz?
ing hat been generally practiced, and
that in many instances it hae been of
a brutal character, and will also find
that Booz was brutally hazed, bot
vfill not ascribe bis death to the re
suit of the hazing The majority of
the committee favor a statote which
will provide, not only for the ezpol
eioo of a cadet who ia foood guilty of
hasiog, bot a provision that a cadet
expelled for each cause ahall not be
eligible to reappolotmeot, and ahall
be forever diabarred from holding Jo
