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.” TERMS:—S2 OO per Annhm, In Advance’. WHOLE NUMBER 560. 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 echo died away his master,and him self were the only occupants of the building. “I’se ready for the licking, Marse Gabe,” said Cuffy, showing everv tooth in his head, “for I ’clare to gracious it’s worf too lickings to see de way common farm cattle kin git ober de ground with skeared Scensionists behind dem,”—Har per’s Magazine, March. 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."— Senator Manderson, of Nebraska. —Man that is married to a wom an is of many days and full of trouble. In the morning he draws his salary and in the evening be hold it is gone. It is a tale that is told; it vanisheth and no one knows whither it goeth. He ris eth up clothed in chilly garments of the night and seeketh the som nambulent paregoric wherewith to soothe colicy bowels of his infant posterity. He becometh as a horse or ox and draweth the chariot of his offspring. He spendeth his she kels in the purchase of fine linen to cover the bosom of bis family, yet himself is seen in the gates of the city with one suspender. Yea, he is altogether wretched.
