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.

The New York " Sun" of October 6, reports the Rev. Henry "Ward Beecher's reference to the sympathy by Britain : " The Queen of England, from her imperial throne, flashes an order to.

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 the world that's got a thousand guineas to give—whose treasury is not completely empty. Churches and theatres com?
