al ae THE EVENING STAR. | THE WEEKLY STAR. | ‘The proprietors of Tirz STAR present to the | public its daily and weekly editions, respec. | tively, as not only the completest and best, but | also the cheapest epitome of events occurring at the national capital, and of general news as | well, to be found anywhere. How well the | public understands this is conclusively shown by the exceptionally wide circulation they | both enjoy, not in the City of Washington | alone, but throughout all the States and Ter- | ritories. In order that the reader not now familiar with the paper and Its strong hold on the pub- lie may understand at a glance upon what elements its great popularity is based, the opinions of some of its contemporaries as to its merits are appended. It is needless to add that no person is so good a judge of the value of any given newspaper as the men who con duct newspapers themselves. What Other Papers Say About The Star.

SOMETHING ANOUT THE ORDER TO WHICH LORD BEACONSFIELD HAS BREN ADMITTED. CW. Grenville Murray in Belgravia. It is a curious and perhaps unparalleled circumstance in English administrative annais that during a tenure of office which has now lasted four years the Prime Minister has had but one Garter at his disposal. Mr. Gladstone, d iz a five years’ premiership, had at least five blue ribands to give away, while four of the present knights date from the period of Conservative rule in 1865-6, which lasted less than two years and a half) Several foreign princes have, indeed, been admitted to the order since 1874 (the last being Humbert L. of Italy), but these are “Extra Knights :” ty tive ribands having been reserved for sub: not descendants of George IL, by the si of 1805. Very likely cite Minister does not taiik himeeli unfortunate in being relieved from the responsibility of making a selection from the always numerous candidates for this most coveted of honors. “For every blue ribaad I sive away Louis XLV., speaking of the order of he Hioly Ghost, make one crateful and cleven disappointed pei Lord Me'bourne, who would turn pale when. ever he saw a leiter bordered with biack on his breat fast tabie, fearing it announced the dea h of « bishop, may Well have felt a similar uneasiness when called upon to decide what peer should be granted the privilege of havin the letters K. G. put after his name. How eageriy that privilege has been sou matter of history. or five centuries ii may almost be said to have been “the last iafirmity oble minds’’ in England, and since 1605, in a (00. Probably, indeed, a good deal al bitterness with which Nerth Br ons were long regarded in Loudon was due to the fact that they obtained from the Stuart kings far more than their share of honors, and no ably an undue proportion of blue ribands. | James 1, by the way, while as yet only the dixch of Scotland, was generally understood to ve accepted the Garter from Queen Eliza- th by Way of compensation for his mother’s sof her head. But the English Queen judi- ciously suppiemented the gift of the George with a pension of 5,000 r. One of William 111.’s ailies among the German princes thought money could hardly be weighed the scale with a Garter. His Serene Highness had long and persistently demanded a subsidy of some £1,040, but ‘cheerfully agreed ‘to acer 41.0),000 plus the blue riband. Opinions dite ‘The late Lord Fitzwilliam, on being offered the same distinction, asked what it would cost hi don being told “about a thousand pounds,” he said he thought he could find a better use for the money. Of foreign prtices the Emperors of Austria, Russia and Brazil are Knigits of the Order: so isthe German Emperor, as well as his eld est son and eldest grandson. The sovereigns of Greece and Persia (in strange Juxtaposi- tion). 3 lias the sovereigns of Italy, Den mark, Por and Belgium, are also Knights, are Several princes of the German empire. The Sultan and the Kings of Spain and Swe- den have still to receive the honor. Unlike the Golden Fleeee, conferred on Marshal Mac- Mahon and M. Thiers, the Garter has not in our age been bestowed on the chief magistrate of a repubile. Ladies were occasionally admitted as Co: panions of the Order down to the reign of Ed- ward LV., who, for the greater contentment of } his subjects on the other side of George's | channel, instituted an Irish Garter. The sis- ter Order was, however, abolished by act ot arliament, 1) Henry VIL, 44. Three clergymen are always members of the Order, according to modern custom ; and it is as Prelate of the Order that the Bishop of Win- chester takes precedence of all other pisos. excepting those of Loodon and Durham. The union of the Chanceliorship with the Bishopric of Oxford is of more recent date, but appears now to be considered a matter of course. The Dean of Windsor is ex-officio Registrar of the | Order. | only one (excepting the Sovereign), isan ber of the Order by right of birth, the Pri of Wales being, as Sir Bernard Burke ob- serves “a constituent part of the original in- stitution.” The Order of the Garter may be said to be interwoven with the very constitution of Eng- land. The roll of the Lords Spiritual and Tem- poral is still called “Garter’s Koll,”’ while the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod is ap: pointed under the great seal of the Order. It is not surprising that under the circumstances an extraordinary value should have attached to some of the external and_ visible symbols of the Order, which are, In fact, among the heirlooms of the Crown of England. Readers of Isaac Walton’s life will remember how, afier the battle of Worcester, the fugitive Charles, by way of expressing to Walton his hich sense of the latter's loyalty, employed him on the dangerous and honorable servic of conveying the ‘Lesser Sore toa place of safety: Tne Lesser George is the badge jastened on the riband, the Greater George, or George proper, being’ worn suspended from the golden coilar. Down tothe reign of Charles II, the riband was worn across the neck, as the ritand of a Knight Commander of the Bath is still worn. The custom of wearing it over the left shoulder is said to have been introduced by accident. The Duchess of Portsmouth, with French taste, had arranged it in that wa: across her liitie son's breast ; with which fash- ion the King was so much pleased that he adopted it for himself, the other Knights, of course, following suit. The child in question em- was created Duke of Richmond at the age of three, and installed a Knight of the Garr before he had completed his ninth year. was the ancestor of the present Duke of Ri mond and Gordon, who, ne men say, will one day be the premier of a Conservative Cab- inet. ~ ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY Hts So! Troy Times says: “ Saturday son’ Uline, of St Sandlake, while makin, preparations to come to this city, laid a loaded revolver upon a table in the room in which he was dressing. His liitle son, aged oer ry seeing the weapon took it up, and. pointing it at his parent, said: *Look out, i'll shoot you father!’ Mr. Uline attempted to remove the weapon from the child's grasp, but it was too late, the weapon being discharged before he could reach it. The ball entered his cheek near the mouth, and probably lodged some- where in the jaw boue,as Drs. McLean and Schuyler, to whom Mr. Uline came Saturda night, were unable to kad the missile with the probe. No sérious consequences are aa- licipated from the accident, except the iacon- venience to which Mr. Uline will be subjected, for a time at least, in carrying a Dullet around in his jaw.” FARMERS ATTACKED BY WOLVES. — The Reading (P enn.) Times of Monday says: “Four wol attacked William Richardson, of Montgomery county, while driving to the Norristown market on Saturday morn drove them off, and they subsequently ap- peared on one of the streets at Norristown, attacked another farmer, and tried to get into the Wagon, but they were driven away. A farmer hear Springtown missed a heifer a few days ago, and her body was afterward found badly mangled and partially destroyed, it is supposed, by the wolves. A’ party of armed men have started out to hunt down and kiil the apimals.” PISTOLS AND IcE CREAM FOR Tw0O.—While Columbus Avexauaer and General Hunton were posting each other and stirring up a Vast amount of bad blood, a real duel was fouzht at Mt. Lookout, near Cincinnati, Ohio. The principals were Adolyh Flumer and Dr. Aubeily, both of Ciucinnati. The quarrel grew out of a double-headed love affair. They fought with Coit’s revolvers, at fifteen paces. IU Was agreed to flip a copper for fir.t shot. Dr. Auberly won the toss, and magnanimousiy fired in the air. Then Flumer aimed right at Auberly’s heart and fired. It is supposed he lowered the pistol as he fired, for the ball _en- tered Auberly’s foot. The’ affair was then compromised, and the party returned to the city and took ice cream together.
