The Jubilee.
The London correspondent of the New York Sun sends a brilliantlywritten description to his journal : — " The intense loyalty of the British people to their Sovereign is the one fact above all others in this marvellous spectacle in the London streets that has impressed all beholders. It is easy to describe all else, bat this stupendous thing, this majestic homage of many millions spoken in one mighty inarticulate voice cannot be put into words. It was not hero worship, not mere devotion to a favourite ruler, not even patriotism. It was more personal, more human than that. It was the deepest and warmest heart tribute to the woman liness of a Queen and the queenliness of a woman. The most signi ficant of all, this spirit found the most fervent expression in what Lincoln loved to call ' the common people.' But it is w the greatest
gathering of human beings the world has ever seen that the jubilee will live in the memory of all who par* ticipated, and in the history 'ol the race. I have no word of disparagement for this wonderful day of wonderful history of this wonderful empire.";
