THE AGE OP VICTORIA.
" nd the Many Wonders of the
Groat Viotorian Affe.
Atlanta Constitution.
Tho reign of Queen Victoria lias
become the longest in England's history,
Surpassing that of her illustri..
f !( .1 111 1
ous^grsinuiatner, ueorgc i u., wiiokc
tenacious hold upon the crown eclipsed
all former records, the reign of
Queen Victoria luvs reached the golden
limit of three score years ami takes
ifs place in the annals of Great Britain
sis the most protracted reign which
the people of that island has ever
known.
In connection with this statement
it should he remembered that England
has been governed by a long line of
sovereigns, and thsit her history reaches
sis far back sis the time of Julius
Caesar. Had the reign of Queen
Victoria, therefore, been utterly devoid
of other characteristics, the fact
that she has occupied the throne for
a longer period than any other sovereign
would l>? sufficient in itself to
to embalm her name for all time to
come.
As remarkable as the length of her
reign is, however, the contemporaneous
events which have taken place in
il. 1 ! . 1* J. 11*- 1.
nit* History 01 me w orm since sue nrsi 1
began to rule over the affairs of Eng- I
laud arc even more remarkable still.
So majestic lias been the march of
thought during this long interval of
time that to the eve of the future historian
who leisurely surveys the past,
the age of Victoria will loom up with
even greater prominence than the
golden age of Elizabeth.
Of course the Victorian age has
producedjno Shakespeare nor will any
succeeding ago evolve a genius equal
to that of the bard of Avon. In compensation
for this deficiency, however,
the reign of Victoria" has enriched the
world though and literature with
some of the grandest minds that nature
has ever formed. To this era
belong the names of Tennyson. Car1
do, Disraeli. Dickens, lhilwer, Dumas,
lingo, l?urns, Longfellow, Emerson,
Hawthorne md Irving.

Notwithstanding 'be brilliant
achievement* in Herature which have
characterized tin reign of Victoria,
the most vigijTrus intellectual efforts
of this pci ioijlia\c been expended in
the dopnrtnint of invention. When

Next to the telegraph, if not of
equal importance, comes the marvelous
invention of Edison which has
virtually accomplished the miraculous
feat of converting night into da v.
O O
Without enlarging upon this transcendent
miracle, it is sufficient to observe
that it belongs to the age of
Victoria.
Other important achievements
might be cited in this connection, but
the limitations of space must be considered.
It is also necessary to omit
ft... i i-i
?/i?v wuniigtv HIIIIII UilYl" IUKCI1 piUCC
in the world's map; the rise and fal
of empires and the bloody wars whieh
have devastated the human race. It
might he interesting for those of a
c n
curious turn of mind to inquire into
the changes which time has wrought
ii the nflfa'rs of England herself and
the fabulous acquisitions whieh her
land policy has added to the territory
of the crown.
Such is only a mere glance at the
record which the world has wiitten
during the reign of Victoria. To
compare it with any former period of
the world's history is to pale the luster
of the Elizabethan age and to render
commonplace the golden age of
Augustus.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the
mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never ^Ix? used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage

There is prudence and regard for
posterity in providing and setting up i
one's gravestone before one is dead, i
but the experience of Mr. Isaac
Chamberlain of Hartford. Conn., will
hardly tend to make the practice
popular. The monument bearing,
w ith his name, the record of his birth
and virtues was hardly set in its
place before he was struck by a railway
train and killed. In fact, only
| a few minutes elapsed between the
t vo occurrences, suggesting proncditrtion?
in the arrangements,
though no other testimony of it
appears. His forethought was cred
itablc to him, as there is no reason
to doubt that he was inspired wit!:
th 5 idea of lifting the burden of his
posthumous commemoration from his
surviving relatives. . 1?nt tho way it
timed out will hardly invito imitation
o the practice. It is well, after all,
to remit this duty to posterity,
th >ugh it is considerate to leave the
money to pay far it, taking the
chance of its being spent in other
ways, as sometimes happens.
