My Lady's Satchel.

By T.K.

Ob dear ! oh dear ! Hcv cad every one is feeling! Who can think of anything but of our great loss ? Our own dear old Queen gone ! We cannot realise it, we have hoped so, that she weald be spared to see peace restored before ehe was called awuy. I feel as if I had lost some near relative of ray own. Strange, isn't it, that one can become so much attached to anyone we have never seen ? What a blank it will make m our interests, m oar magazines and newspapers, where we always expected little items about our dear Sovereign Lady. How we shall miss her ! Poor old Aunt Tib ia terribly distressed at the news. When we heard it, we just let; everything come to a standstill, and sat down and did a email s fcangi,' all by ourselves. Aunty keeps on Baying, 'Oh dear, dear, to think I should have outlived her !' aa if she had done her Majesty a personal -inj-astiee. Aonty can remember her coronation, and her birthday falls on the 24bh of May, ao that she considers shs has certain rights m her Sovereign only possessed by a lijiited number of her fellow subjects, Indeed, there can only bo a small proportion of them who were born before she began to reign. Wbftfe a long, beaatifnl reiga ! She , isas gone, but her influence will remain, a benison for her people as long as time lasts, When one compares her with the queens of ancient or modern times, who have been termed ' great,' how she shines? No Zenobia or Cleopatra, or Catherine or Isabella, or even Maria Theresa, is worthy to bear her train. And it has been the woman's sympathy beneath the ermine which has won all hearts. Her homeliness, her mothtr liness, the domesticity of the life she chose for recreation at Balmoral and Osborne has knit the hearts of all true British, home-loving people. In spite of her exaltation—that was so isolating —we felt she was one of ourselves ; overlooking her nurseries, anxious; about her children's education, taking & perional interest m the afiairs of the humblest of her household, she has made it ' the thing ' to be kind ; and fashionable to be a devoted wife and mother, certainly she has been blessed and made a blessing. ,The sorrow that reigns at Ouborae to-night ia shared by every faithful hearts through out; the wide dominions that were bo proud to own her away ; that prize her beloved memory as a priceless treasure. Aunty is very Indignant about Kruger sending his condolences • Shameless Wretch !' she say», • how can he dare to be so out rageous, when he knows ill was his wicked obstinacy, which caused this terrible wmr and bo hastened the end of the best woman, and noblest Qaeen that ever lived! Such a thing ought not to be allowed. Can't the British Got eminent atop him ? What are things coming to when a man like tnat is allowed to mention Her Majesty's name ? If I could but get hold of him I'd soon. .. . but she didn't say what she would do, 1 think myself it wag disgusting impudence, don't you ? Oh I am so sorry ! and J can't think of nothing eke. Do you rempmber Mrs Browning's lines, 1 Crowned &ni Wedded,'contain ing these prayers : c The blessing happy monarchs have, be thine, O crowned Queer?,' and s The blessing happy pea sants have, be thine, O crowned Q ieen.' Well, they have been answered, I am moraf add" Osbefne, when she could forget she was a queen, when— • None blew the trump, noue bant the knee, to violate the dream, Whoreia no monarch, but a wife, she to herself might seem. And -now—her dreama^have all passed, and she has entered upon reality. Gone, but we will never forget her.

Foreign Spies.

ACLIOM tYTHK UNIPBD STATES. An a result of the agitation following the obtaining of plans of a French field gaD by tha United State®, this Government (saye the Washington correspondent of the juondoa Daily Chronicle) have determined to take vigorous means to ptevenb naval arid military secrets leaking onfc. When France officially ignored the facb that artillery plans had baen surreptitiously obtained by an American agent) some surprise was expressed afc her failure to make representations! Later investiga tions showed that France had been forced to keep silence foe fear of disclosing the Identity of her secret agenta In this country, The United Sta 1 m Government have obtained information showing that every European Power, wi: h the oingle exception of England, ha& spies m Wash ington, some of them being clerks m the Navy and War Departments, who have daily access to confidential information. The State Department has addressed letters to the various Embassies m this city, asking them if other than authorised military and naval attaches were employed by their Government m procuring military inclination. Ihe State Department has fnrtlieradded that only accredited attaches will be permitted to inspect dockyard* and military establishments under stated regulations, and then only m the same way as is permitted to American re presentatives accredited to foreign Governments. Heretofore the United States have been very l&x m guarding military secrets, and the action of the State Department; has been taken at the request of the War »nd]Savy Departments. If r<«ireigu Governments disclaim having In iheir employ agents oth&r than official military and naval attaches, it is said that several War and INavy Department cleiks now under tm&picion will be sum marily dismissed.
