We appreciate the things we have less than those that have gone and the ones that are expected, and great men are not half as great during their lives as when they are shaped by history and looked at through smoked glass. We observe that which is merely human in them, rather than that which is great, as they pass inspection in the too material flesh, The sepulchre is a great purifier as well as a great leveler ; and when history resurrects men and gives their memory a halo it is because there is more left of them than their fleshless and dis severed bones. This country has just celebrated the memory of Lincoln, It associ- ates the nobility of that man with the excellence of the first president, and feels that it can pay neither a higher compliment. As long as this, government exists Washington will be the standard from which to judge both the government and the individual. He made what it is our pleasure to preserve. He originated, as did Lincoln—for the emergen- cies of '65 were as great as those which sent Washington from the field to the presidency. We all believe in our George; and perhaps of the distinguished men of to-day whose first names are contracted, with rather obtrusive but considerably affectionate familiarity, to one or two 2 syllables several will go into the shades to emerge therefrom in a blaze of historic glory. THE FIFES. THE DUKE of Fife wants his wife known simply as the duchess and to have the privilege of selecting her own company, and the lady says she prefers not to be known as “royal high- ness” or anything of that kind There is to be no Lorne or Battenberg business in this case. and the queen and Wales feel as if they had hatched ducks where they were looking merely for chickens, There is so much good sense in this that it may almost be hoped the duke, who is a nobleman by nature as well as by birth, will soon be ready to drop his title too.

The hat was at first supposed to be of Portuguese manufacture and was popular, but it sub- sequently transpired that it was made in England. Now it is esteemed an individual and a national duty to step on the hat, to dance on it, to tear it in strips, and to obliterate the head of every man who wears the hat. Nobody pauses to ask of the wearer the usual introductory question “Where did you get that hat?” and presently it may transpire that the hat must be drowned by Portuguese, disguised as Indians, in Lisbon harbor. an youse gev th’ McShaynes whin we lift our ould home an CATCHING OUR BALLOTS. ‘sAN IMMIGRANT ™ says Bishop Paret of Ma voter before he has caught our tongue.” Most of those im- migrants are sharp.
