HER MAJESTY’S HA BITS
•HOWVECTORf A PASSES THE
TIME AT WINDSOR.
THE QUEEN AH OOOK—HER FAVORITE
DISHES AND HER FAVORITE DRINK—
TIIE ILLS SHE’S HEIR TO—HER PER
• SDNAL DEPORTMENT.
LiviDg in a pretty cottage in the
wegt end of Cincinnati is an ioteL
ligent English woman who oce
held a position in the household of
Queen. Victoria at Windsor Castle.
Her father was a gardener at the
Castlfe, and yben she was abont
T 6 she was taken in as a general
utility maid, her duties requiring
her to go all parts of the Castle.
She is now happily married, and a
few days ago gave to a News-Jour
nal reporter a pleasant account of
the queen’s home life.
“Did the queen ever come into
the kitchen, like the ladies of lesser
degree are supposed to do ?” asked
the teporter.
“Of course, she did,” was the
reply, “aud she enjoyed it, too.
Why, I’ve seen her majesty take
the rolling pin opt of the pastry
cook’s hand, roll Ja piece of pie
crust out until it was the proper
thickness.”
“The queen eats pie, dogs she ?”
“I’ve seen her make a pie and
I’ve seen her eat her share of one.
She has a good appetite and a
good digestion, and pie never hurts
her at all.”
“It is said she loves roasted ap
ples, is it so ?”
“Yes, I’ve seen her take in her
own hands a dish of nicely brown
ed apples and carry them to her
own room to eat at her leisure.”
“When she used to be in the
kitchen did she seem interested in
work ?”
“Very much. Why, one day she
came in dressed in a plain black
dress, with a great big white
apron on, and she made a cake and
fixed up a whole lot of other dish
es. She rolled up her sleeves and
at her work as if she was get
ting $2 a week and her board and
lodging for it.’ She was always
nice and kind to us, too, and talk
ed just like some American ladies
talk, and not at all like some oth
ers talk when they get mad.”
“Didn’t Victoria ever get an
gry ?"
“Not very. I’ve heard her say
’Zounds ! sometimes when she put
her fingers on the hot stove or
something like that, and once she
told me if I didn’t keep my face
clean She would have one of the
gardeners turn the hose on me.”
“Would she talk to the servants
freely ?”
“Yes, sir, like any other lady.
She used to ask us about our homes
and our families, and all that, but
she. wouldn’t let us talk any gossip,
like the American ladies do. She
was at the Castle, but I have heard
she is not so now. She is getting
pretty old and old folks are more
or less cranky.”
“How did the folks live at Wind
sor ?”
“You mean the royal familv ?”
“Yes.”
“Well, it is a real nice, quiet
household. Of course, there are
always lots of visitors and the roy
al household is large, but the queen
steps off to her immediate family,
and they read and talk and play
whist or sing. Ordinarily she goes
to bed at 10 or 11 o’clock, and ri
ses about 8. A family breakfast is
laid at about 9, lunch at 1:30 and
dinner at 7. The breakfast and
lunch are plain and without any
extras, but the dinner is quite elab
orate, and there is always some ex
tra guests. The queen likes nice
roast beef, according to tradition,
and prefers a nice, light soda bis
cuit to any other kind of bread.
She is fond of Kentucky corn bread
also, which she can make herself
by a receipt found in an American
cook book. She doesn’t admire
French dishes, and I have heard
her say it was not right for En
glish-speaking people to print bills
of fare in French. She seldom
drinks coffee. Tea is her favorite
beverage, and it makes her have
neuralgia, I’m sure.”
“Does she have neuralgia ?”
“Yes, sometimes. I’ve heard
her complain on several occasions,
and once I took a bottle of arnica
to her room.”
“Did she have a nice room ?”
“■Not very. It was big and had
nice wiudows, but it was not like a
queen’s bed chamber. The bed
stead was one of those old carved
ones, very ancient, with a canopy,
avalanche and all that kind of
thing. The covering was of silk
and worsted, and the quilts she
and the princess Beatrice had made
with their own hands. They were
very pretty, but no nicer than lots
you see in poorer people’s houses.”
“So the queen handles the nee
dle, too.”
“Oh, Ves. She is quite handy i
with it, and her daughter’s embroi
dery work takes the prize when on
exhibition. Why, would you ho
lieve it, one day the queen saw my
apron string pull out, and she sow- i
cd it on for me, and told me it was [
not every young woman who had
an empress and queen for heri
seamstress.” i
“Did you ever bear her laugh ?” ;
“No, sir ; neVer ; all the time I !
was at the castle, which was six;
mouths. She smiled, sometimes,!
but a laagh—well, there nevci was
anything like a laugh came from
her lips, and I used to wonder if
she would be very sorry when She
came to dif r: She used to rhnjind
me someri(U6B of a sister Of (Pari-
ty, she was so quiet like; and when
I saw the young princess all the
time with her solemn mother I us-
ed to think I wouldn’t trade places
with her.”
HORACE GREELEY’S BOY
HOOD.
Horace Greeley’s personal ao
nearance was always a subject of
remark from his boyhood. Eollin
C. Mallary, a member of Congress
from Vermont, who was an able
champion of the American system,
used to narrate a visit of his to
the printing office of a country
newspaper at Poultuey, Vt., hfs
place of residence. His attention
was attracted to a young compos
itor, who was awkwardly “sticking
types,” and he, though full grown,
was evidently the youngest appren
tice in the office. His legs ran a
good deal more than “a feet”
through his pantaloons the sleeves
of his coat scarely reached below
his elbows, his bair< was very white
and flaxen, and he %as, on the
whole, in the aggregate - , taken sep
arately and together, the greenest
looking specimen of humanity we
ever looked at, and this is saying a
good deal, for “we keeps a looking
glass.” “That boy,” said Mr. Mal
lary, “will make a remarkable man;
I cau’t hold an argument with him
on Masonry or aught else connected
with politics.” As Mr. Mallary
was considered one of the ablest
men in Congress, his remark caus
ed me some surprise ; and we Dot
only “made a note of it,” but took
another look at the “devil” (prin
ter’s we mean), and could not but
trace in the expansive forehead “a
mind formed in nature’s finest
mould and wrought for immortal- j
ity.” It was years afterwards that I
we became aware of the fact that]
the boy was Horace Greeley.
HE CURSED GOD AND DIED.
A special from Philadelphia says:
“The. sudden illness of Lemuel
Thomas, while he was blasphe
mously impersonating the Savior
at a supper party, his subsequent
paralysis of the heart and the fiud
iug of his corpse in his bedroom
has given Jenkintown and its vi
cinity a sensation. Thomas was a
carpenter, over 60 years of age, who
rarely attended church, and was
noted iu Jenkintown for his disre
gard of religion. On Monday ev
ening he met two friends of kin
dred disposition, by arrangement,
at Coltman’s Hotel. They had made
every provision for a supper, and
the tables were loaded with poul
try and liquors. Every one was in
good health and spirits. Before
they sat down one of the guests
suggested tbat Thomas, who was
the oldest man present, should of
fer up a prayer. This he did atuid
the laughter and jests of those
present, among whom was Richard
Micers, a Town Councilman, and
Henry Thomas the only son of the
host.
After they had been seated one
of the men said tbat the reunion,
on account of their being 13 pres
ent, was suggestive of the last sup
per, and while they were eating,
drinking and shouting, Thomas ut
tered a terrible oath and made use
of some blasphemous expressions
that shocked even his comrades.
They all started up with amaze
ment at his words, when suddenly
he grew pale, and putting his hand
to his head complained of pain. It
was not until 11 o’clock that this
occurred, and the supper had open
ed shortly after 8.
“I’m afraid it’s my last supper,
after all,” the miserable man moan
ed. Then clutching his chair and
rising with difficulty he announced
to the rest: “I must vacate the
chair, boys. You must get some
other President. I’m going home.”
Thomas was taken home, and he
complained that his head felt as if
it had received a terrible blow. His
daughter left him when she fancied
he had fallen asleep, and the next
morning he was found dead in his
bed. A horrible smile played over
his features, and his eves were
starting out of their sockets “as if,”
said a woman relative in describ
ing it afterwards, “he had seen
something awful and died while
staring at it.”

WORTH A XICHIifU.
Some years ago in Georgia that
band of Christians known as As
censionists were having a grand re
vival. One day when the meeting
was in full force a storm came up,
and a young gentleman who was
out hunting with his servant took
refuge in the church door. Being
curious to see the service, the fiwo
-hunters crept into the gallery and
there hid in a place where thev
could observe without being ob
served.
“Come, Lord, come; our ropes
are ready. Come, Lord, come !”
vehemently Q Maimed the preach
er, while those present gave a loud
t /. ;
“Marse Gabe,” whispered Cos lift',
lifting his hunting horn to his mouth
“let me gib dem jist one toot.”
“Fut that horn down, or I will
break your head,” replied the mas-
ter, in a stern whisper.
The horn dropped by CufFy’s
side, and again the minister cried,
“Come, Lord, do come; .we are
ready for Tin coming. Come now
Lord!’ " • : ’
“Do, Marse Gabe—do jist lem me
gib ’em jist one little toot,” plead
ed Cuffy, wetting his lips aud rais
ing the horn.
Cuffy, 1 11 whip you within an iucli
of your life,” whispered the exas
perated master.
“Blow, Gabriel, blow; we are
ready for bis coming. Blow Ga
briel, blow,” pleaded the minister.
CufFee could no longer resist the
temptation, and sent a wild peal
ringing from end to end of the
church ; but long before its last

HOW IT FEEDS TO KILE A
MAN.
“One gets used to that sort ot
business, just as a surgeon becomes
hardened and calloused in his pro-
fession. The first man whom I
killed was before Richmond, when
McClellan was in command. I was
doing picket duty late one night
uear the bank of a creek, and had
been cautioned to be especially
watchful as an attack wag expec
ted. I carried my musket half
cocked, and was startled by every
rustle the wind made among the
trees and dead leaves. It was
some time after midnight that I
saw a confederate cavalrymandash
iug down the opposite side of the
creek in my direction. As he was
opposite I fired upon the horse,
and it fell. The cavalryman re
gained his feet in a moment, and
had drawn his pistols. I called te
him to surrender, but his only re
ply was a discharge from each r 6
volver, one bullet inflicting a flesh
wound in my arm. Then 1 let him
have it full in the breast. He leap
ed three feet in the air and fell with
his face down. I knew I had fin
ished him. Iran and jumped across
the creek, pieked him up and laid
him on his back. The blood was
running out of his nose and mouth,
and poured in a torrent from the
ragged hole in his breast. In less
time than it takes to tell it he was
dead, without having said a word.
Then my head began to swim, and
I was sick at my stomach. I was
overcome by an indescribable hor
ror of the deed I had done. I
trembled all over, and felt as faint
I and weak as a kitten. It was with
j the greatest difficulty that I man
aged to get into camp. There they
laughed at me, but it was weeks
before my nervous system recover
ed from the shock. Even In my
dreams I saw the pale face of the
dying cavalryman, and the spectre
haunted me like a Nemesis long
after I had got over the first shock
of the affair. It was simply horri
ble, but in time I recovered, and at
the close of the war I was quite as
indifferent to the sacrifice of hu
man life as you could imagine."—
