ENGLAND'S QUEEN.

The. New York Herald, speaking of the subscriptions of the Queen and Prince and Princess of Wales, remarks : — "This beats old Emperor Billy of Germany hollow. After all, the Queen does not forget that, though kind words are better than coronets, deeds are better than words. What about, . Francis Joseph in this matter, and Czar Alexander ? On the whole — and we are proud to make tbe admission — Great Britain has done well in the matter of this Chicago sorrow. It do'S seem as if kinship meant something." The New York 'Sun of October 6, reports the Rev . Henry Ward Beecher's reference to the sympathy by Britain s—

"The Queen of England, from her imperial throne, flashes an order to Canada to empty the storehouses of blankets and send them to Chicago. That touches my heart. There is more in those blankets to bind CaDada and Great Britain to our hearts than all Eugland's muskets and all her ships of war. In our late war there was some feeling aroused between England and this country. She has touched the other side of the chord now. The city of London gives one thousand guineas from its own treasury. Thank God, there is one city in tbe world that' 6 got a thousand guineas to give — whose treasury is not completely empty. Churches and theatres combine in the noble work. God bless the theatres ? The whole world is marching to one tune; the drum slops, aud the heart of love beats, and that's the music wo ate marching to to-day."
