the high prices and great scarcity of money

With such facts before ns, I.do not think

hawk was admirably executed; it was the,
work of a man of genius in his way—Matt
Morgan,‘one of the principal scene-painters,
in Covent Garden Theatre. The paper, -
which had not then and has not since any lit
erary merit whatever, became celebrated and.
popular in a moment People were, scandal- :
ized, shocked, amused, aroused. Tomahawk’s
cartoon had, in fact, illustrated what every
body had been talking about wondering at
and grumbling over.
Tins is the scandal about Queen Victoria:
In her personal service, her most constant
and close attendont is a' Scotch groom, or
gillie, named John Brown. He rides on the
box of her carriage, he hands her in, he?
hands her out, he cloaks her, he shawls her,
opens doors for her, is always near her.
Popular rumor avers that he sleeps or a rug
outside her bedroom door; and, although
this certainly is not his habit, it is beyond
doubt that be lias done so occasionally while
the Queen was travelling. He has been so i
closely, indeed, in attendance on 'the Queen
that unquestionably there might be grave
cause for scandle .were be a Rizzio or a Po
temkin. Take further into consideration the
fact that all West End tradesmen, the dress
makers, milliners, cooks and lackey’s abso
lutely detest Queen Victoria , because of the
dullness created by her long retirement; and
that it has become an article of faith with all"
that class that the depression of trade and ;
even the financial collapse of England are to
be directly - attributed to the Queen’s pro-
traeted and inconvenient seclusion, is it won
derful, then, that the scandal was eagerly
! and delightedly spread.? In fact people
busily spread it who did not in their hearts
believe it; and before long it became the
universal talk —a whisper of London: The
Queen began to be spoken of in a slang
phrase-as “Mrs. Brown.” Punch one day
published under the head of “Court News”
the announcement : that “Mrs. John Brown
walked on' the' slopes yesterday.” Great
mirth was created once by an old jumble of
names in a London daily paper, which, giving
a report of some popular demonstration,
saialh^proceedings closed with the' Ringing
of .“God Save the Queen and John Brown”—
the fact meant to be conveyed being'that the
